NEW WHITE WAY
NEARING COMPLETION

Frank O'Malley and his force of
assistants have been busy during the
week in the completion of the new
white way which when complete will
add greatly to the attractivness of
the main thoroughfare of the city.
The work has been in progress for the
past ten days and has been marked
with more than the accustomed celeri-
ty in the amount of work done in a
short time. Every thing was in
readiness to begin with. In a day or
two the light will be turned on and
the Gate City populace will be greet
ed with as nice display as has been
seen in any city of it's size in the
state.

Influx Of Settler.

a report from DR.. Butler, state
veterinarian, would indicate that the
state Of Montana is experiencing an
influx Of settlers never before seen at
tnls time of the year. Though there
IS no official way of telling the exact
number who came last month, a pretty
1alr estimate can he made from the
number of certificates of live stock
tnat have been issued during the past
month. In all, 1,OS7 certifications
were made, 5,304 horses, 3, 334 cattle
and 262 swine. Each certificate rep
resents at least one individual and
often a whole family or perhaps a
colony.

Base Ball Players Meet

On Friday evening of last week the
players Of the city who intend to play
base ball during the coming season
met for the purpose of deciding what
in their opinion would be best to do
as regards grounds, revenues and the
drawing up of schedule. The usual
preparation will necessarily have to
be made in the way of securing uni
forms and equipment for the players
and the getting Of the grounds in
shape.
It was decided that in the way Of
salaries pool will be made and at
the end of the season each of the
twelve players will jointly profit from
the profits that accrue to the team at
the close Of the season. In all prob
ability the Chamber of Commerce will
donate pretty literally and it is posi-
BILE that at the end Of the season each
player will have something to show
for the interest he has taken in the
national game.

Appropriation Bill For
Assay Office Adopted
Representative Evans Succeeds in Keeping Assay
Office at Helena---Appropriation Victory
For Montana Congressman

Washington, April l2-Rallying to
his support members from the west
and many personal friends from the
south and east, Representative John
M. Evans won his first fight on the
house Friday, when. after six sue
cesive votes, he secured the adoption
of an amendment to the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
bill retaining the government assay
Office at Helena, the appropriation for
which had been dropped from the bill.
The victory was notable and attracted
much favorable attention to the Mon
tana member by reason of the fact
that the Helena Office was the only
one retained in the intermo1ntain
country, the representatives from
Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and South
Dakota going down to defeat in their
efforts to retain the assay Offices in
their states.
Stubborn opposition to Mr.. Evans
amendment was offered by Chairman
Fitzgerald of the appropriation COM
mittee and Representative johnson of
South Carolina, chairman of the SUBJ
committee in charge of the bill. Mr..
Fitzgerald, who was i'll, was called to
the floor to speak against the amend
ment, bat the personal popularity and
standing of the Montana member held
the support of many of his party as
sociates against the plea of the chair
man, and the amendment was finally

Selling liquor at retail within miles
Of grading camps.
Every person who sells, furnishes
or gives away any spitituous or malt
liquors, wine or cider, or any bever-
age containing any Intoxicating liquor

adopted by a vote of 81 to 81. Two
aye and nay votes, two rising divi-
sions and two votes by tellers were
required to convince those in charge
of the appropriation bill that they
could not rally sufficient support to
defeat Mr.. Evans and his friends.
In speaking for the adoption of his
amendment, Mr.. Evens pointed out
that Montana has produced in it's
territorial and statehood days more
thsn $40O, 900, 600 in gold. and that the
Helena Office had benefited the small
prospector and mining operator rather
than the large corporations.
Il want to impress upon you gen.
tlemen who believe that this particu-
lar assay Office is maintained in the
interest of the big miners that you
were never so mistaken in your
lives" he declared.
Unless the Evans amendment is
eliminated by separate vote of the
house upon demand of the chairman of
the appropriation committee. which is
thought to be unlikely, the Helena
office will be retained for another two
years at least. It's retention when all
government assay Offices in neighbor-
ing states were lost, however, is due
solely to the notable personal victory
of Mr.. Evans in the face of what
seemed hopeless odds.

any of the new dainty materials may
be used.
Children at the seaside resorts must
be provided with an entirely different
kind of a wardrobe, one that ascends
at a bound from the bathing suit or
, sand frock to the glories of an elabo-
rate creation. For the former the
little ones wear their rompers or
jumper suits, overalls or bathing suits,
both in the water and on the sands,
the rompers being made of strong
wash material, and the bathing suits
of flannel, serge or mohair. Evening
finds them dressed in the daintiest of
frocks, slippers, stockings and rib
bons. though even here economy may
be practiced without detection. In
stead of purchasing a great number
of frocks, it will be better TO get a
few and invest in all the little acces-
sories. such as dainty aprons, correct
footwear. ribbons and bows. all of
which help so much toward making a
child's outfit attractive. Shoes, whether
high or low. should be substantial for
day wear, slippers to be donned in the
evening only. Sunbonnets Of white

@UITE problem confronting

is the providing of a wardrobe
vacation period of comfort and

child will feel happy SO garbed among
associates wearing pretty, appropriate
clothing that may provide all possible
comfort as well. but the error is gen
orally in the opposite direction, and
so We see little fashion plates sitting
demurely on the veranda or parading
among the guests.
A pretty frock. and even an elabo-
rate one is a necessity. but it should
be worn at an appropriate time. An
overdressed child is quite as much an
object of pity as the dowdy little
woman. Children vary in feature and
form quite as much as adults, and so
it is quite necessary to study what
will be becoming to them. A plump
little maiden will look ridiculous in a
short. beruffied skirt. standing out like
fairylike.. sister may be ravishing
beauty in the same frock
