BIG ROAD MEETING
AND DANCE, JUNE 5
COMING TO OFFICIALLY LAY
OUT POWDER RIVER TRAIL

From present indications the next
meeting of the good roads associa-
tion on June S will be quite an event.
At this time large delegations are ex-
pected from important points along
the Powder River trail, projected
from Moose Jaw to Denver, a dis
tance Of 500 miles.
This trail was sponsored by the
local good roads association and has
made a distinctive hit and is being
promoted and advertised by cities
along a tentative route laid out for
it. Cities north Of us are engaging
in rivalry for designation on the
route. The exact and official route
of this trail, however. will be Off
cially designated at the Broadus
meeting.
It was reported here that a pilot
car was to be run over the route at
the expense of some northern Mon
tana city but this action was dis
cOuraged at the present time by the
Miles City Chamber of Commerce in
Difference to Broadus on the ground
that the idea OF the trail originated
with BrOadus and no one will know
the exact location of the trail until
it is decided at the meeting here.
Terry is certain to have large dele
gatoin here to support its contentious
for~the highway to be routed that
way.
A big public dance will he held at
the Broadus school house in the
evening as means of entertaining
the visitors and OF course people from
our own county are expected to he
there and as many as possible lend
their presence at the meeting to be
held in the afternoon.

SARY TO INSURE STANDARD
LINE FROM MILES CITY

The get-together" meeting satur-
day evening participated In by the
chambers of commerce from Miles
City and Broadus, was an occasion
for launching the long-distance tele-
phone project connecting the two
cities as we'll as giving service to in
termediate points and branch lines.
The concern which would put this
project through is known as the
Eastern Montana Telephone COM
pany and has the endorsement of
the Miles City Chamber of Com
merce and the local chamber
l.. X. Hills is president OF the COM
pany and l.. p. league, an electrician
and experienced telephone man, is
manager. Both spoke at the meet
ing relative to this proposed line. de-
signed to extend from Miles City to
this terminal.
The estimated total cost of the sys-
TEN, including poles. wires and other
equipment is $4,000. OF this sum
$4,000 in stock has been subscribed
in Miles City and the balance OF
$4,000 would have to be taken by
residents OF this county. The poles.
wires and greater portion of other
equipment is on the ground at Miles
City and with the financing arranged,
construction work could start imme-
diately. The company saved an item
Of $4,000 last winter by having the
poles purchased before they raised in
price.
The line from Miles City would be
of the best with modern appliances
and would be designed primarily to
render the best of service. 1t would
be a twO-wire metallic circuit and a
toll line with switches maintained at
Beebe, Volberg, Stacey, Coalwood,
Olive and Broadus Arrangements
could he made for connections with
subscribers on the Powder River Tel
ephone line Or other branch lines
which might be installed. The toll
rates would be in conformity with
long distance rates fixed by the gov
ernment during its control OF the tel
ephcne and telegra ph, on the basis OF
IA cent a mile or as an example
the toll from Broadus to Miles City
would be 81. With the installation
OF this toll line. patrons wot'ld not

Two Instances of Abstinence

We apt to consider Mayor Macswiney as the greatest of abstaners but consider the case of another martyr to principle one William J. Bryan of a town called Lincoln the state of Ne graska. Language essential seemed to the existence of Mir Bryan food believed to be necessary to sustain the life of Mayor MacSwney.
 The lord mayor has gone without food for some thing like more than sixty days. But MT. Bryan has preserved unheard of silence in a campaign pe riod of nearly three and half months and yet he survives the bottled thoughts which be like to rend him. He win probably remain abstinent of language for some months. though he may find mo- mentary relief the morning of Nov B. when he will say. "Now. isn't that just what I told you?"
 Then he win lapse again into silence which he will maintain until after the Democratic party has gone through proper period of mourning. MT. Bryan will then apply his old position of leader ship Mir Wilson will have retired the cloister and Democrats will dimly recall only nikhtmare in which one Jimmy Cox somehow figured. Mir. Bryan will call the scattered and abandoned flock together.
