RUSH At
LOCAL LAND OFFICE
THROWING OPEN TO ENTRY OF
LARGE TRACT IN MUSSEL-
SHELL THE CAUSE,

The local land office experienced a
genuine rush yesterday and today,
probably the biggest in its history.
The occasion was the throwing open
to entry under the 32O-acre homestead
law of a very large area in eastern
Musselshell county. A cloud of home
steaders arrived here Saturday and
Sunday and many of them camped in
front of the land office Sunday night
to secure good positions. AS soon as
the doors we're opened yesterday
morning the office was thronged and
it remained crowded all day. A total
of Ill entries were filed yesterday,
making 1t record breaker. The rush
continues unabated today and will not
be entirely over, perhaps, until near
the end of the week.

that with five railways running out
from Lewistown and radiating to all
parts of the county, 1t seemed to him
that Lewistown was natural center
for the establishment of a creamery.
Out in the rich west side the farmers
could ship their cream quickly into
the city from all intervening points.
From the north the railway would
serve the farmers there equally well.
From Grass Range and the east speedy
rail communication was provided, and
then the Montana railroad ran through
still another section. With all this
territory to draw up, there would be
the guarantee of a steady supply, suf-
ficient to justify large creamery
project in Lewistown, and with this
location all the sections would par
take of whatever success might be
attained. 1t seemed to him that it
would be wiser to follow such policy
than to have two or even three small
creameries, which would not be thus
equally accessible to all sections.
Trade in the Orient.
c. r. McClave, who returned last
week from an extended tour of the
orient, visiting Honolulu, China, Japan
and the Philippines, told Of his Obser-
vations in regard to business meth
DDS in those countries. The trade Of
the orient was growing more and
more important to the United States.
He was particularly interested in the
Philippines, where the effects of Amer
ican control were plainly evident.
The Chamber Of Commerce.
J. E. Lane spoke briefly of the
Chamber of Commerce as an institu-
tion which developed the united ef-
fort of the whole business community
in the accomplishment of whatever
might be of benefit to the city and
county. The past year had been es-
pecially fruitful and he hoped the
Chamber would be given the same

FUNERAL Of THE LATE
LEONARD C. WILSON
LEWISTOWN PAYS TRIBUTE TO
THE MEMORY OF A GOOD
CITIZEN.

The funeral of the late Leonard c.
Wilson was held Thursday afternoon
from the Masonic temple, all the ar.
rangements being in accordance with
the wishes of Mr.. Wilson, who made
them known some days before his
death. Lewistown paid a remarkable
tribute to the memory of this good
citizen by suspending business during
the time of the funeral. Judge Ayers
adjourned court and every business
house in the city was closed. The at
tendance was so large that the spaci-
GUS lodge room was completely filled,
as was the gallery, while many re-
mained standing. The services were
simple, impressive and beautiful. Os-
car o. Mueller, the master, presided
and following the brief ritualistic
opening, Rev. George Hirst, chaplain
of the lodge and rector of St. James
Episcopal church, where the decedent
served as a vestryman, delivered the
address.
Rev. Hirst's Address.
He began by reading the lesson, fa-
miliar to all Masons, and concluding
with the words from Corinthians, IT,
55: 20 death, where is thy sting? o
grave, where is thy victory?" An hon.
est man, said the speaker, remained
still the noblest work of God, and the
brother who had passed on was such
a man. All knew that the limit of
physical skill, countless wealth and
the devotion of loved ones could not
stay the hand of death, yet so many
lived as though they expected this
mortal life would last forever. It was
good thing for men and women to
stand sometimes in the presense of
one Of life's great realities like this
and he felt 1t privilege to be in this
temple. surrounded by a Gordon of
men who had taken their vows at the

JUDGE AYERS sUsTAlNs coNsTl.
ruTIoNALlrv oF THE LAW
IN DECISION.
WAS ANNOUNCED TODAY
Written Opinion Will Be Filed Lit.
: tie Later-Leaves the Matter Just
Where 1t Was Before the Petition
of A. A. StapIeton for An injunc-
ton Was Filed.

Judge Roy E. Ayers this morning
announced his decision in the case of
A. A. Stapleton against the trustees
of scho oil district No. l., generally
known as ''the vaccination case" This
action was brought at the end of last
month to secure an injunction re-
straining the school board from ell
forcing the order of the state board of
health requiring all pupils and teach
ers to be vaccinated. A temporary
restraining order was granted and the
matter was argued at length before
Judge Ayers by H. L. DeKalb for the
petitioner, County Attorney C. ]. Mar
shall representing the school board.
Mr.. DeKalb based his argument for
an injunction on the ground that the
law under which the state board of
health was created was unconstitu-
tional and his presentation of the mat
ter was exceptionally able and the
court was manifestly impressed with
his contention, as indicated by the
questions asked counsel on both sides
by Judge Ayers.
County Attorney Marshalls also
made strong argument in support
of his contention as to the constitu-
tionality of the law and little later
the attorney general filed brief
A Close Question.
While the points brought out made
the question at issue a rather close
one, Judge Ayers, after devoting a
great deal of time to the case, found
for the school board. The temporary
injunction was dissolved and he de-
clined to grant any further injunction.
The court has not been able to formu-
late his written decision and this
morning early announced the conclu.
sions reached by him. This leaves the
matter just as it was when the order
was issued by the school board and
the requirement for vaccination will
be enforced.
In his brief announcement this
morning, Judge Ayers held that the
law creating state board of health
Is constitutional. The title of the act
is sufficient as defined by the supreme
court in the case of Yagen Bros.
against the board of county commits
s1oners of Yellowstone county. AS to
another point urged by the petitioner,
Judge Ayers held that the right of the
legislature to delegate power to order
was upheld under the de-
cision of the supreme court of the
United States in the Jacobson case
and the law is good as to the addi-
.ional qualifications required for men,
Ders of the board of health because
hey held offices created after the
adoption of the constitution, hence
he decision in the Teton county
school superintendent case is not ap-
olicable. The qualifications as to that
,ffice were expressed in the consti.
.ution. it being one of those covered
n that instrument.
