Grangers Have
Good Time

About $50 people, Changers and
their friends, assembled at the paw
lion by the riverside, on Wednesday
and enjoyed several hours of infor-
NAL sociability - the best informal
number: so most of them say, being
the fine picnic dinner that was serv-
ed by the lady grangers.
After dinner a short progam was
rendered. Mrs. CARRIER gave a read
ing, selection was given by G. A :.
Bell and a reading was given by
Addie Maltby. Two very good sell
ections by John 7. Graham. Music
was furnished by the choir.
The days amusements came to
close with baseball game, without
such trimmings as an umpire or
score keeper and some of the older
boys displayed high talent at times.
1t was a pleasant occasion that was
keenly enjoyed by all.

Secretary Lane is evincing the
keenest interest in the homesteaders
of the West and in this he differs
greatly from his predecessor, Sec.
Fisher, who went to the Cabinet
from Chicago Office building. Sec.
Lane wants more help to clear up
the land cases pending for years, he
wants to know more about reclama-
ton work in this section of the
West, and wants the homesteaders
to get all the best of it in handling
what is left of the public domain.
The Secretary is proving his sim
cerity by taking a trip into Mon
tana and beyond doubt it will be
of benefit to himself and the home
steaders within and outside the re.
clamation projects in this state.

We're Better Off

Henry Shoknecht, auditor of the
Libby Lumber Co., spent Saturday
with the corps of hustlers at the
local branch. Mr.. Shoknecht was
on his way home from Billings
after attending a very interesting
convention of the Montana Lumber
mems Association. Asked as to the
general outlook in the territory in
which his company has interests,
Mr.. Shoknecht was inclined to be
optimistic hut was of the opinion
that slow progress would be made
in railway work contemplated by
the Milwaukee and 500 in the i'm
mediate future and expressed the
opinion that it would be better for
all concerned if this work were
held up for a couple of years. The
building of railways thru this
end of the county will result in the
cutting up of territory, the plating
out of new towns that will be small
and struggling for years, whose
merchants will not be able to carry
complete stocks, but at the same
time it will effect towns like Cut
Bank, whose business interests are
expanding constantly and giving
their customers an opportunity tc
select from big assortment. II
this territory is not cut to pieces
within the next few years Cut l'ank
will have reached stage where i
will not be seriously effected by
smaller towns that will grow up OF
the new railway lines"

their portion. The five merry fish
