Meeting For Church Union.

Last Sunday night after the churh
services ut the Congregational church
II number of the representative ladies
of the town remained to discuss
church union with Francis Vasku,
pastor Of the church. Baptlsts,
Methodists, Presbyterian and Con-
gregationalists were represented. All
present agreed that one strong church
no matter what its name would be
much more efficient than several weak,
struggling churches. a committee of
three was appointed to formulate Il
plan OF union and to call mass meet
ing of the citizens interested in the
religious welfare Of the town to dis
cuss the matter furthur and take deli
nate steps toward union.

COUNTY DIVISION.

"To BE- or not to be that is the
question"
Judge Mathews IN the district court
ut White Sulphur Springs refused last
Saturday refused to grant perman-
ent injunction stopping the election,
on the grounds that the money to de-
fray the expenses of the primary cleo
ton had not been paid to the county
and that saltwater county was
illegally formed. Hence the query:
Is Wheatland county going to be
to be created today by the voters
within it's boundaries? We do not be-
lieve that it will although it is gen
orally conceded that the result will
not be recorded by II very large ma
jOrity and it is the opinion that the
number OF votes cast will not nearly
equal the number registered.
There is feeling throughout the
county against county division on
the grounds that this end Of the coun-
ty Will not be able to meet the heavy
expense OF orgaiZing lew county
with so large Il number of delinquent
tax payers already on the list. On
the other hand Il large number of peO-
pie are dissatisfied with the conditions
now existing. They want the county
divided and Judith Gap named county
seat. They feel that with Il smaller
county, the interests of which are
more uniform. that more judieious
and expeditions expenditures of
county funds, such as OH roads and
bridges, can be brought about. Jul
dith Gap should be named as county
and it undoubtedly will be. being the
only town legally qualified to appear
on the ballot. 1t is situated rs to

The University Of Montana.

The University Of Montana biolo9i-
cal station, located at Yellow bay on
Flathead lake, will he open to stud
ents and investigators for work rs q
part OF tile University summer school
for Six weeks beginning June II.
The station has u beautiful location
Oh the lake ut the base Of the Mission
mountains, in u grove of native trees
hundreds Of years old. The equip
ment for work consists of new two
story brick building, boat 30 feet
long, capacity Of Is persons, u smaller
gasoline boat, a row boat, two canvass
boats, ana the necessary apparatus
for collecting, preserving and study
ing material.
The work to be offered at the sta
ton is botany, zoology, nature study,
ornithology, entomology, geology,
physiography, photography and
plankton. 1t will be adapted to be-
ginners, advanced students and in
vestigators. Teachers may collect
material for classes and may continue
study. Elementary students may
make a start with proper guidance,
under most favorable conditions.
Advanced students may undertake
some of the many interesting prob
LENS which the new field offers.
The building is for work only. All
those at the station will live in tents.
Meals at a mess table will be provid-
ed ut cost. There will lie tents to
rent. As recreation those in at
tendance may 20 boating, or swim
ming. or walking along trails of vir-
gin forest, Or they may fish. Credit
for equivalent work in the university
will be given. Recreation and work
will be combined, but study will al
ways be foremost.
There will be popular lectures in
the evening. Frequent excursions
will be made to various places OF in
terest both on the lake and in tile
mountains. Women as we'll as men
are invited, and for women there will
be competent supervision.
The location is q perfect harbor, the
scenery is beautiful. the field for
study presents new and interesting
topics. the climate is very mild, there
is no dust, and everything is most
restful and attractive.
The station is easy of access, the
ranches nearby have an abundance of
fruit, trails have been cut to several
places of interest, and an automobile
road is being constructed along the
lake shore. Camp life, good food,
outdoor study and supervision and
help from those who have given their
their lives to the work will give ton
ic which will stimulate those attend
ing for long time.
The number to be accommodated is
limited. The first to apply will be
given preference. Full particulars as
to expense, naturalization, railroad
fare, and how to reach the station
will be furnished on request. Nearly
every question to be asked is an
swered in bulletin. Address Nor

cal station, Missoula.
