some measure Of home rule, some sort
Of independence in their future eNs'-

@Those groups which have reached a
level higher than ne Russian average
will include Poland, Finland and parss

In other words, I find it foolish to
'shceavor to make complete parallel

Impressive, because OF its showing
of the sincere friendship that exists
between showmen. was the funeral
service yesterday afternoon over the
remains OF Harry J. Edwards, a menu
her OF the Workman Brothers shows,
who died in this city last Saturday.
The lodge room of the Elks temple
was filled with men and women of
the troupe and by members of the

COL. WHITE STILL BOOSTING.

Col. A. A. White OF st. Paul, who
two years ago purchased from the
government Wild Horse island and a
large number OF villa sites on Flat
head lake. was in Butte yesterday.
The colonel believes there Is no more
beautiful country lying out OF doors
than that found along the shores Of
Montana's greatest lake and he has
backed this sentiment by investing a
large sum of money there In real es-
tate. With the opening of the new
branch of the Northern Pacific run
ming from Dixon~to Poison, it Is prob
able that more cities of this state
will become familiar with this most
charming section Of Montana. It Is
certainly an ideal region for the To-
cation OF summer homes and anyone
who visits this region at once will APP
Dreciate this fact. The colonel al
most SINGLE handed Is doing a great
deal to advertise the F1athead country
in the east and he Is entitled to the
hearty support of the people of this
commonwealth In these efforts.-Adv
