idea of the Stampede situation has
developed.
I'VE want to make it clear" said
Secretary Walsh. that the chamber
of commerce. though unwilling to
stand behind the show this year. has
expressed its willingness to lend moral
support to any individuals who wish
to stage stampede. Later a meet
ing Of business men decided that a
Stampede would be good thing for
everyone. The people living near Mis-
sOula look to this city for entertain
ment on the Fourth of July. and they
should not be disappointed.
"A monster patriotic parade on July
4 will he part of the Stampede pro-
gram. and the committee will do
everything it can to make the public
celebration Oh that day good one.
Moreover. the committee guaran-
tees that all Objectionable features at
the grounds will be eliminated. Yet
no ono need fear that the perform
ance will be tame. There will be
thrillers enough for anyone"

TO THE PUBLIC:

A few weeks ago met with number of business
men Of Missoula and discussed the proposition Of
closing our stores on Saturday nights. !, myself,
speaking for my own line Of business, which IS
mems and young mems clothing and shoes, then
said that thought it was the wrong thing to do
to close my store on Saturday nights at o'clock,
as men work through the day and Saturday night
is the only time they have to buy their wearing
to do their buying.
then also said that thought it was time and
good thing for the merchants to get together and
work in harmony, and if all the merchants would
close at o'clock on Saturday nights, would close
my store at o'clock. With that understanding, !
was one of the first business men to sign the paper
for o'clock Saturday night closing.
Furthermore, went around with committee
of men and waited upon the differen, merchants
getting their signatures on paper for o'clock Sat-
urday night closing with the understanding that
the singing of this paper was binding, if all the
merchants signed otherwise the signing of the pa
per meant nothing
Well, the jewelers. and druggists did not sign the
paper and two firms which sell my line of goods
also refused to sign. ! talked with two gentlemen
who were on the committee and told them that we
had not gotten all of the merchants to sign and
that did not feel like closing as my agreement
was to close if all the merchants signed the agree
ment to close at o'clock.
One Of these gentlemen was of my opinion and
he and talked it over right out in the entrance
" loOOy VI my Store TOO Dul we QeClQeQ 10 close
and try it. and if we we're not satisfied afterwards,
then we had perfect right to open our stores, as
all the merchants had not signed the agreement
made the statement to the gentleman, Il may
be keeping open Saturday evenings in less than
MONTH Friday ! announced in the papers that
my store will be open Saturday night. There have
been some who have criticized my action and am
sorry to say some have tried to make stock or gain
out OF my action.
Now bear this in mind: stand ready at this
moment to live up to my agreement and under
standing with these gentlemen and keep my store
locked every Saturday evening at o'clock if the
other merchants who are keeping open their stores
will lock their stores at 6 o'clock on Saturday
nights Just as stated before signing the paper |
will willingly close my store at o'clock if all the
other merchants do the same.
There is such thing as justice, principle and
fair play in life and claim to possess some of
these virtues myself.
You will always find me playing my cards face
up and shooting fair.
Yours very truly,
BARNEY

SlACKERS WILL BE HUNTED

The period of grace for men
,of military age who failed for
any reason to register on War
Census Day, is ended.
From now on, every Stacker
rs to be hunted down without
mercy. There will be no more
lenienccy.
Governor Withycombe has re-
ceived official instructions from
the Provost Marshal General. at
washington, d. c., that the most
vigorous enforcement of the
penal clause of the law will be
required against all who have
not registered.
1t is announced that the quota
OF men to be drafted into the
military service from each state
will be based on previous census
estimates, not on the actual
registration figures, which in
oregon were slightly lower than
the estimate. Inasmuch as the
men to be called are chosen by
lot, the failure to register of any
man who should have done SO
increases the chances against
every other man who did his
duty and registered.
/
For this reason, particularly.
and also as a patriotic duty.
every one of the 62,84O men
who registered in Oregon is
asked to help in the drive to
round up the shirkers.
Already the sheriffs, police o.
Ulcers and precinct registrars
have been directed by the Adu-
tant General to report all sus-
picious cases. But now through
the press, and in response to Of
ficial orders from Washington
all men who have registered are
asked to aid in this Anti-Slackel
campaign.
or course, there may be a few

cuses for not having registered
But they will have to present
