Nearly every city. town and
vicinity is having cleanup"
days in this season of the year
and we have been wondering if
it wouldn't be about the best
thing that could happen to Eka-
laka if the inhabitants of the
town would take one shot" at
it. We believe it would. Dur
ing the past week many remarks
have been made regarding a
cleanup day. but for us, we say
let it go at a cleanup week..
There is no doubt but that Eka-
laka as well as every other town
needs a cleaning up at least once
a year, or even twice a year.
The Eagle is taking it upon itself
to declare the week of April 18th,
1914 cleanup week in Ekalaka
and we hope that everyone will
see to it that his or her place of
business, town lot or residence
property is given a thorough
cleaning. Let us all bring out
our rakes and shovels and get
busy, starting next Monday.
There is nothing that will speak
more for the welfare and pro-
gressiveness of our county seat
town than to have it look clean.
Are you with us in this move?
We earnestly hope so.

1t is a fact that Baker and
Ekalaka were not on the best of
terms during the campaign last
fall, and there are indications
that the relations between the
two towns this coming fall will
not be too friendly, but is this
any reason why Baker should en-
deavor to retard the progress OF
the new county of F'allon? Two
weeks ago a couple of gentlemen
looking for a business location
stopped off at Baker and inquired
as to business openings and pos
sibilities at Ekalaka, the county
seat. From their own statements,
they were told that Ekalaka was
the dumping ground of Montana
and that they would do we'll to
move farther west or locate in
Baker. Now we have never
doubted but that Baker was a
good location for a town. but We
are inclined to believe and do be-
lieve that Ekalaka, the county
seat. affords greater business op-
portunities and better chances
for prosperity than Baker, the
3. S. dope to the contrary.
