MUST BUILD
ON THEIR LOTS

This week a crilnp was put
into the holding of business
lots in the town of Broadus,
when the Board of County
Commissioners sent out notices
to all lot owners that building
operations would have to com
mence within ninety days or
the lot would be reclaimed.
When the town lots were
first sold it was understood by
the majority that they would
be compelled to build within Il
year or turn their lots to some
one who would build on them.
Then, later on it seemed to be Il
gamble and everyone would alb
solutaly refuse to sell on de-
sired airoplane prices. People
have been coming into town
every day seeking business lots
on which to build and start
some kind Of business, but no
lots were available for them
and consequently some means
had to be taken to relieve the
situation.
We congratulate the commits
sioners upon taking this action
and every man who owns a lot
will eventually take the same
attitude. We all desire to soc
Broa,lus expand and grow to
proportions of Chicago and
other cities throughout the
United States. If the owners
would not build and refuse to
sell to someone who would the
town would never amount to a
tinker's dam, while taxpayers
and business places would be
kept out fofs-;lll time to come
The Powder River County examiner and the Broadus independent. [volume] (Broadus, Mont.) 1919-1935, 1919-09-19

Any town either grows or goes
back and at the beginning is al
ways the best time for growth.
While some lot owners will
feel ''sore' over the recent or
der Of the Board, yet we cannot
feel sorry for them in the
least. If the town lots are
merely to be for speculative
purposes we would suggest
that they be placed on the New
York Board of Exchange
where they could change hands
every day and left there for all
time to come. But the majority
'of the people desire the town to
grow and prosper and without
steps taken as above which
would COMPEL building or re-
leasing the business lots.
Broadus would never move
much ahead Of where it stands
today. The Examiner takes off
its hat to the County Commits
sioness and the town and Coun-
ty can take just pride in a body
of this kind that will not stand
for holding back the building
up Of the county seat.

PARIS EN- FETE
ON 'BAST|LE DAY
CELEBRATED WITH UNUSUAL
BRlLLIANCE.
American Soldiers Participate in Great
Victory Parade Units and Individual
Heroes Represent Each Of the
Allied Armies.

Paris.-The conquerors in the great
war marched Monday in victory pa
rade under the Arc d'Triomphe,
through which only victors may pass.
Picked units and individual heroes
represented each of the allied armies.
Several million grateful persons,
mostly French, but with many thous-
ands of their allies, struggled forward
along the line of march for an oppor.
tunity to wave and shout their graft
tude to the men who saved them from
German Imperialism.
The great triumphal arch, conceived
by Napoleon to commemorate his VIC
tory at the battle of Austerlitz, took
on new historic Importance when the
allies marched through the massive
pile of masonry which dominates all
Paris and moved down the Champs
Elysees toward the Place de la Con-
corde.
The place of honor in the procession
was not accorded to the generals and
the smartly equipped troops. 1t was
given to thousand mutilated soldiers
who passed under the arch and in
front of the reviewing stand, where
stood President Poincare, moving halt
ingly and out of step, as best they
could.
Many were injured, some were blind,
some were in wheel chairs and others
were on clutches or limped along with
the aid of canes. Few of them were
uniformed. They represented all Of
the provinces of France as was indi-
Gated by the variety of their civilian
attire. They made no effort to main
tain military formation, but marched
as well as they could to the airs play
ed by the military band which led
thSm.
A thousand wounded soldiers with
crutches or in wheel chairs and clad,
for the most part, in civilian clothes,
led the parade, being preceded by a
drum corps. Guns began firing at
minute intervals as President Poincare
placed a wreath at the foot of the
cenOtaph at the Arc d'TriOmphe thix
morning. This empty casket, placed
there in memory of the allied dead,
was also decorated by other wreaths,
these being placed by Premier Clemen-
ceau, French soldier, French sailor,
an Alsatian girl, a girl from Lorraine
and Colonel Edmund eros. This last
wreath was in memory of seventy-twO
members of the Lafayette escadrille
VINO lost their lives during the war.
Marshal Joffre, the victor of the
first battle of the Marine, passed under
the Arc d'Triomphe at 8:45 o'clock.
He rode alone. Behind him came Mar
shall Foch, the commander in chief of
the allied forces during the final cam
paign of the conflict. A storm of APP
plause arose from the vast thrOng as
the two marshals passed the presi-
dents stand and moved down the bril-
liant avenue.
