summer, you probably had rhubarb,

This season you can have your
rhubarb early, when 1t will be really
appreciated. All you have TO do is to
dig up clump or two the first day

Devon Doesn't Object

L. Sullivan of Cut Bank was here
few days this week, circulating a
petition to establish United States
Land Office at that point. He was
very successful in obtaining sigma
lures at this place, although there
were some objections to the plan
on the ground that Shelby or some
other town would be more desir-
able location if an office should be
established.
1t is true that another land office
would not be amiss in this great
territory, as the Great Falls and
Havre are behind on work. and the
indications are that there will be
more business for land Office this
year than ever before. The Havre
Office especially has been taxed to
the utmost to handle the great vol
ume of business transacted there

TALK BRIDGE
MATTERS
Commercial Club Anxious
To Have the Board
Take Action

Big bridge matters occupied most
of the time of the meeting of the
local commercial club Wednesday
evening. During his visit at Va
lier last week A. f. Allison learned
that the folks down that way were
very anxious to secure bridge over
the Marias and desired that Cut
Bank cooperate with them in bring
ing influence to bear upon the
county board, The people of that
section are prompted by desire to
make connections with main line
trains at this point, as this is the
only stopping point between here
and Havre. If land office is Sc
cured the people of that section
will want first class highway to
this city. IL was the unanimous
sentiment of the club that we should
expend our best energies in working
with Waller to this end and at the
next meeting of the board Mr.. ALI
son will be on hand to voice the
'sapentiments on this matter and
also the Gut Bank river bridge mat
ter.
The above hamed gentleman was
at Browning early in the week and
had an interview with Maj. McFat-
ridge relative to pushing the river
bridge matter Maj. McFatridge
evinced keen interest in the matter,
Mr.. Allison states, and informed
him that as soon as the c un ty
0 m m 81 ners did their part
:, .osorIued he would
give it his sanction and forward it
to Washington.
The opening of what is known as
the Taft Weaver road was discussed
and that matter, too, will be taken
up to the board. 1t was the sense
of the meeting that the town coun-
Gil be asked to frame an ordinance
limiting the speed of autos and mo-
torcycles.

were here, feeling out our people
regarding the new county of Toole.
There seems to be considerable
opposition here to the new county
and their visit here was to combat
this and point out the luxuries to
result If the county is created. The
emmessaries, however, were little
short on convincing argument, but
arrangements were made to hold a
mass meeting here on April 18th.
There will be representation from
all portions of the county and the
matter will be threshed out from
every angle and our people will de-
eide whether or not they will sup
port the issue.
Offices to be showered upon an
individual, here and there result
only in individual benefit. It ac-
complishes no general good to our
town and let us not be detracted
from that position by glib promises
by irresponsible makers.-Devon

OFFICIALS
President Gray and Party
Are Serenaded by
Local Band

All Jim Hill towns are welded to
an idol-and that idol is Jim Hill or
his duly accredited Representatives
We may chafe bit at times over
express rates, grumble about the
slowness of freight service-which
is the custom and prerogative Of
town folk on all railroads, but back
of it all and deeper down there is
the feeling that the Great Northern
is great and good system, doing
its share and more for this great
West, and that Jim Hill himself is
the best railroad man on this or any
other planet that whirls in space.
When the high officials of the
Great Northern passed thru Cut
Bank on Tuesday forenoon this
town did not sit supinely by and
rub its eyes; neither did it run down
and cape in bucolic curiosity. Our
band assembled hastily. marched
down and played a number of their
best airs, a delegation of citizens
sauntered down and chatted freely
with Messrs. Gray, Gruber, Emer.
son and others of the party.
The party seemed genuinely
pleased with their spontaneous vel.
come, free from formality and os-
tentation. They chatted pleasant
ly for a quarter of an hour, compli.
mented the band very highly and
evinced desire to know more
about the towns progress and
promise. A hasty inspection OF the
round house was made and the
party proceeded to Kalispell.

Discuss Division
With Delegation

Cut Bank had the pleasure of en-
tertaining a delegation of the most
prominent citizens of Conrad Mon
day evening of this week. The
gentlemen came here to ascertain
the complexion of local sentiment
on the question of county division.
A meeting was arranged at the
school gym. and President Grina
of the Commercial Club tapped the
fo1nt of good feeling by distrIbut-
ing fragrant havanas. An informal
discussion of division in all its
phases followed and local leaders
were frank in stating Cut Bank s
position and intentions. Cut Bank s
friendship for Conrad and the
original Pondera county was re-
iterated, but the Conradites were
informed that the Choteau conf
promise was too unreasonable, too
absurd a proposition for sane citiz-
ems within the Cut Bank zone to
accept.
AT the close of the discussion the
Conrad delegation retired to the
Metropolitan Hotel and caucus of
the active participants in division
matters at home was held. A re-
solution, drawn up by Messrs. Taft,
Potter and Lewis, was presented to
the Conradites, declaring our oppo-
sition to any division scheme drawn
upon unreasonable lines, whose
primary purpose was to give any
town a county seat.
There was a further discussion of
the matter at the hotel but no de-
finite results were achieved Con-
rad knows Cut Banks position,
knows that this town is friendly to
Conrad-knows, also, that Cut
Bank will oppose the creation of
Toole county along the lines at
present proposed.
