A Bellefountaine correspondent
says: Jesse ,Mickle and brother
Worth, of Knoxville, were Oskal oosa
callers Thursday. Worth will leave
Saturday for Norfolk, Va, where he
enters the navy training school. He
and twenty-five other Knoxville boys
depart together for Des Moines Sat
urday, where they are enlisted and
then sent to their respective stations
in the army. Mr.. Mickle chose the
navy. He wired his parents, who
live in Colorado, of his joining but
will probably not get to see them be-
foe he leaves. Mr.. Mickle said
that all the young men clerks in
Knoxville but one had joined the
colors. We feel that Knoxville and
Harvey are doing little more patri-
otically than many Of the larger
towns. Fourteen have gone from
Harvey.
c. e. Mason, writing from his ranch
near Terrace, Montana, tells some
wonderful tales concerning the immi-
grafton to that state this spring. A
chief dispatcher's report at Havre
shows that already this season over
600 cars of household goods, "immi-
grant outfits" have gone through that
station for points further west, over
one line of railway, the Great North
ern. One hundred and sixty cars of
this 600 came from Iowa alone, forty
eight from Indiana. One hundred
and sevnty-six cars left Williston,
North Dakota, in one day for Mon
tana points. The greater number of
these homeseekers are going to the
Fort Peck reservation lands. Wolf
Point, Mr.. Mason's nearest station, is
prosperous. The G.. N. Ry. has
brought boom into the town by buy
ing a large tract of land for shops
and terminals and is already erecting
a twenty-five stall round house and a
big machine shops, the largest west
of st. Paul. The road has opened
up a great gravel pit near here.
