the coming season holds much Of in
terest for the lecture, music. and
entertainment lovers is indicated by
the advance information from the
EIlison-White Bureau. The dates for
BOzeman have been definitely set for
August II to 18th.
The announcement that Peter Clark
MacFarlin, the noted writer, is

one of the best public speakers il

Saturday Evening Post, Golfers, Nc
Clures, American, and practically al
the leading periodicals have beel
widely read and appreciated.
Another figure of national, 0
rather international Importance

is Stefansson, the famous Arctic e2
plorer. Stefansson was contracted fo
a Chautauqua tour last year bu
throat trouble developed and he wa
forced to cancel at the eleventh hour
Stefansson has been repeatedly pack
ing the big auditoriums of the Eas

undoubtedly be eagerly anticipated
He has a fact lecture packed with ir
formation as well as real interest.
Willie Golfers great success o

SHORTY FLANDERS
GUIDE TO CANYONS
Well known Local Boy VIII Take
Parties of Tourists to Beauties
Of Gallatin Valley

George Flanders, Jr., known to all
in Gallatin Valley as Shorty IS
purchasing equipment to handle part
les of tourists who wish to- rough
it" up the canyons near the valley. He
has a big string of saddle ponies and
in a short time viii be ready to care
for nature lovers, be they from the
east or west.
AS the wonders of Middle Creek
canyon become known, there Is a
demand from many people to see
them. The roads are impossible
except on horse back or in a buck
board, and Mr.. Flanders arrange
ments will open this scenery to many
people who would otherwise be un-
able to visit it.
Within a short distance of Boze-
man is scenery that on the word OF
an expert, is unexcelled any place in
the world. Yet it is doubtful if q
hundred Bozeman inhabitants have
ever visited it. Crater Lake was seer
from the back of horse by white
man for the first time last summer
The proposed road up the canyon viii
put it within reach Of hundreds, but
it will be some time before the rOaC
is completed.
And the canyon folk will tell yol
that "Shorty" is the best living
authority on Middle Greek canyon
Born and raised at the entrance o
the wonder land, he has explore
every foot of it. When fall comes h
starts out with a tile flour and
slab of bacon and reCurns days late
with his limit OF game.
"Shorty" is going to tYy to inte1
est prominent easterners in his pla
and tackle it on a Wholesale scal
He saye that there WI be no frill
to his parties and nothing fancy WI
be tolerated, but for person wh
wants to get out AM tackle natui
with his bare hands, he will promis
him a good, time.

BUTTE Finding
Us PROGRESSIVE
Miner Praises BOzeman for Adopting
City Manager Form of Mu-
nicipal Government

Bozeman last week set the pace for
the state in progressiveness, for by q
vote of it's citizens it decided to adopt
the manager form of municipal gov
ernment.
The majority in favor of this inno-
walton was not large, it is true, being
only 81 votes, but it is rather surpris-
ing that the proposition should have
carried in view of the fact that the
change is a radical one, as far as that
city is concerned, For Bozeman had
not previously had the commission
plan of government.
Usually it is found that communi-
ties cannot, go with one jump from
the old mayor and council system to
the manager form Of government.
On the contrary, they customarily
adopt the commission form first, anC
then later graduate from that to the
more advancement scheme of having
municipal manager.
AS far as the Miner has any record
the beautiful county seat of Gallatil
is the first city in the state to show
a sufficiently enterprising spirit t.
be willing to try this form of govern
ment, that has worked so successful.
wherever it has been adopted.
After all there is very little differ
ence between a municipal corporate
and an industrial corporation, and
one would contemplate operatir
corporation of the last mentioned kin
without having manager.

A number of protests were read con-
corning the creation Of special i'm

al improvement district No. 225, for
. the purpose of constructing a sani-
, tary sewer On Church avenue south

CONCERTS TO Be
IN CITY PARK

Beginning tonight, the band con-
certs, which are given weekly by the
Bozeman Chamber of Commerce
band, will be played in the city park
on South Seventh avenue, instead Of
Bogert's grove. Street work on
South Church avenue has made this
change necessary as it is impossible
to handle large crowds of autos
through the entrance on West Olive
street.
Since there are no facilities for
lighting the city park, the concert
will start at 7:15 o'clock instead of
8 o'clock as formerly. This will make
it possible to have the program fin
ished before dark.
The change of location will only be
temporary, but it will probably bt
several weeks before the street is
finished and able to handle the largt
crowds which attend every concert.
