FOR CONSOLIDATION
Of COUNTRY SCHOOLS
ASSISTANT STATE SUPERINTEND-
ENT TENNEY VISITING At
HOBsoN TODAY.

Assistant State Superintendent C. A.
Tenney, of Helena, who is in the cOun-
ty today, Is devoting most of his time
to the plan Of consolidating several
rural schools into one in order that
better results may be secured. He
will visit Moore this week to help
along plan to consolidate four dis
tricts at Moore, and the following
from the Judith Basin Star outlines
a plan for the Hobson section:
Mr.. Tenney, one Of the rural school
inspectors, will be In this city next
Tuesday. He is making a campaign
through the state and establishing con-
solidated districts wherever it is pos
sible. In these consolidated districts
one school is maintained and the chill
dren from the outside districts are
transported to and from the central
school. This scheme has been tried
through the east and in many parts
Of Montana and it has been found that
the children can be brought to and
from school for about the same amount
that 1t would cost to maintain a sep
arate school. There are many advan.
tages to the plan, among which are:
A better school can be conducted
where there are several teachers than
where there is only one; the children
will be more regular in their attend
ance when they can ride to and from
school each day, and where high
school is maintained the country chill
dren will have the same advantages
40 tho citv cha1dro., onN cou live af
home. Mr.. Tenney will speak at the
old Philbrook schoolhouse on next
Tuesday afternoon and at the Hobs0n
schoolhouse in the evening at . o'clock
regarding consolidating the Philbrook
district with the Hebeon district. It
is to be hoped that every one who Is
interested in educational affairs will
attend.

A new proposition for an Elks' home

sonably sure that $4,000 can be Sc
cured at once in this way. Second

QUEEN ESTHER CAST
IS NOW ANNOUNCED
DIRECTOR ROBINSON THOROUGH
" PLEASED WITH LOCAL
TALENTS SHOWING.

What promises to be the most elab-
crate home talent production ever at
tempted by the singers of Lewistown
is the opera, Queen Esther" which
is being prepared by about sixty Of
the best singers of the city and will
be given in full oriental costume and
appropriate dramatic action in Cul-
ver's opera house Wednesday and
Thursday evening, Nov. 10 and 20.
Mr.. Martin E. Robinson, of Chicago,
who has for many years been engaged
in giving this and other operas in
the principal cities of the northwest,
has been engaged to stage and con-
duct the opera and brings with him a
complete outfit of costumes and para
phernalia to make the scenes of orien-
tai splendor to rival the scenes in the
court of the old king Xerxes.
Dennie Burke Dale, niece of the di-
rector, who will sing the title role,
has the reputation of being the best
"Jueen Esther" in the country. Her
dramatic training especially fits her
IOr CQlS QlIuCulC TOl0.
The other solo parts are all taken
by local singers, and glance at the
following cast will convince all that
many of the best singers of Lewis
town will appear in the opera.
Those who have witnessed some OF
the rehearsals have expressed them
selves as surprised that so great a de-
gree of excellence can be attained by
amateur singers in SO short a time,
but the work of the soloists and chorus
will give the impression of trained
company Of singers rather than a
home-talent affair.
The opera is under the auspices OF
the Methodist Ladies' Aid society, but
the singers of all other denominations
have responded to their invitations
and have united to make this the best
musical production ever given here.
The following is the cast:
Ahasuerus, the King, j. C. Neudi-
gate.
Esther, the Queen, Dennie Burke
Dale.
Haman, the Premier, Prof. H. L..
Sackett.
Jeresh, Haman's Wife, Anna Scheidt.

TROUBLESOME ROAD
BED STILL SINKING
NIL LWAUkEE LINE EAST OF BELT
CREEK SINKS EIGHTY
FEET.

That the Milwaukee railroad con-
struction forces have a serious prob
lem on their hands in connection with
some work beyond Peck & Lacey's
crossing. is the word that comes from
persons who have Travelled In the vi
cinity of the right of way at the point
mentioned and also from settlers who
live in that vicinity, says the Great
Falls Tribune. There is a strip OF
about a quarter of mile that has
sunk nearly 80 feet, it is said, and the
worst of the problem rests In the fact
that the construction forces are unable
to determine whether the end of the
drop has been reached.
Prior to last week there had been a
sinking of about 20 feet and even the
mouth to one of the nearby tunnels
had been materially affected by the
depression. The cave-in, or drop-out
or whatever it may be called, is be
tween the mouths Of two tunnels and
when the dirt first began to show
depression it went down gradually
Then 1t took a quick slump. it is said
and the later drops have been such az
to leave precipitous sides to the hole
In the ground.
Engineers Of the Milwaukee com
pany have inspected the place. but
they have been unable to determine
whether it Is due to quicksand bot
tom or to the fact that there was 9
large cavern In the earth at that spot
The fact that 1t has sunk from time
to time has led to belief among
many that it is Quicksand causing the
trouble.

REFERENDUM PETITION TO BE
PRESENTED TO CITY
COUNCIL.
PEOPLE FAVOR TAyCABS
No Modification Of Provision Prohibit
ing Hacks From Standing on Main
Street, But Taxis May se Allowed
to Stay There-H. l. Dekalb and
Frank ScoveI Heard.

Mayor w. D. Symmes presided at
last nights meeting q the city coun-
Gil, all the aldermen, with the city at
torney and engineef, being in attend
ance. Perhaps the most interesting
bit of business to come up was in re-
lation to the ordinance passed a week
ago as an emergency measure pro
hibiting hacks, express wagons and
taxicabs from standing on Main street
from Miller to Sixth avenue and on
Fourth avenue from Main street to
the city hall. While tnis ordinance
went into effect last Tuesday morning,
it was not enforced until Sunday, and
as the public is well aware, petitions
have been in circulation asking the
council to submit the matter to ref
erendum vote. Practically the re-
quired number of signers, Is per cent,
has now been secured, there being, ap-
parently, quite a general sentiment
against including the taxis in this or
der. At least it was because they
were luCluu0u dIOu6 Will lu0 AOISCo
that many signed the petitions.
DekaIb Is Heard.
Former City Attorney H. L. DeKalb
led off with review OF the ordinance,
stating that within a very short time
the petitions asking for a referendum
vote would be submitted and the coun-
Gil would then have to either call the
election -,or rescind the ordinance.
What he objected to at the time was
the emergency cause and he contend
ed that such an ordinance was not an
emergency measure and should be al
lowed to take the usual course, go
ing into effect in thirty days from its
passage. He was quite prepared to
test this matter in any court and had
no doubt as to the outcome on that
point However, he wished to meet
he council in the most friendly spirit
and ask that the emergency clause
simply be suspended.

Contractors are now expending in
wages $4,000 month, a great deal
of this money finding it's way into
Levistown, and everything is in the
best possible shape for continuing the

most cheering news Of the week is
that, instead of retrenching, the Great
