Initiative Petitions Said
to Lack Many Signatures

While the petitions circulated here
recently initiating a measure for the
amendment of the present primary
law was readily signed and many
more signatures could have been OBJ
tanned had there been sufficient petit
tions, it now seems that there may not
have been a sufficient number of sig
natures obtained in this county to
make it count in the general petition.
The number required in this county Is
1900 or more and while many sigma
lures were secured, many were OF
those whose names do not appear upon
the registration book, and which were
stricken from the petit
tions by Registration Clerk Caufield
when the lists were checked by him
before being forwarded to the secre-
tary of state.
Other petitions circulated here are
in about the same shape. One of me
income tax petitions filed containing
81 names. has IL Illegal names signed;
an inheritance petition with % names
signed has 10 Illegal, and a parI-.
mutue1 petition with l23 has "a illegal.
and SO far none of the petitions filed
in this county have had enough sig
natures to make them count.

NeihaTt Celebration TO
Afford Entertainment

With substantial cash prizes offered
for long list of field sports, par
ade scheduled for 1880 a. m, good
ball game and big dance in the even
ing, the Fourth Of July celebration ar
ranged by the Belt Mountain Miners
Union for Neihart promises to attract
big crowd next Tuesday from all the
upper valley and from Great Falls, as
well as from the delegates in attend
ance upon the Epworh League con-
vention opening there on the third.
The event which viii hold the great
est interest for the people Of Neihart
and which will prove very novel TO the
visitors in the Silver City, is single
handed drilling contest, but close
second will be the ball game between
the Neihart and Raynesford teams.
Neihart has defeated the RaynesfUrd
boys once this season and they are GO
ing up to the town a the foot of Old
Baldy for revenge. Besides these,
there are f5=6theF events for men
and women, boys and girls, and then
in the evening comes the big dance at
the Lyric theatre with a Great fails
jazz orchestra.

B. C. White Fourth
of July Speaker

Hon. B. G. White of Buffalo, state
senator from Fergus county, will be
the speaker Of the day at the Amer
ican Legion's Fourth of July cele-
bration. Possibly no man in public
life is better known over this part of
the state than is Senator White A
great student of conditions as they are
today, and a staunch American, his
address is going to be well worth
hearing. 1t viii be delivered directly
in front of the grandstand at 1:05
o'clock sharp and will require 80 min
utes. Directly following the address
the baseball game between the Great
Falls Eagles and Stockett will begin,
and this promises to be one of the
main events of the day, the purse be-
ing 500 with both sides out to win
the money.
The Great Falls Municipal band has
been engaged for the day, there be-
ing no Belt band available, and at 10
O'Clock in the morning will render a
concert on the down town streets, con-
tinuing until 1880. AT 12:45 another
concert will be given and at l o'clock
the Declaration of Independence viii
be read by Phil Dunstan, and Sen
otor Whites address will follow.
The sports program will open with
the ball game, and at the same time
dancing will start in the park pavilion
for those who would prefer that to
witnessing the sports Besides the
ball game, events on the program that
promise exceptional entertainment are
the caterpillar race, with five men TO
a team; the Finnish sack fight, the
horse and pony races and the bucking
contest A subscription list of about
$400 has made liberal cash prizes
available for each event, and this has
attracted some exceptional entries I
for the big events. Inquiries as to the /
horse races have been received from |
all over this section of the county and I
some fast horses have been entered I
in each class. For the bucking con-
test, which aside from the ball game, |
will be the big event, several horses
which few have succeeded in riding
have been entered. Each entryman I
must furnish at least one horse, but /
he will not be allowed to ride his own
mount, so each rider will have
strange horse to contend with which I
will make the contest the more thrill
ing. The committee in charge will
be assisted in handling this event by
Chas. M. Russell, the cowboy artist.
With the ball game there are - \
events on the program, which it is ex-
pected win be completed by o'clock,
and at 8 o'clock the night dance will
open at the auditorium. High class
dance music has been engaged both
for this and the pavilion dance, and
plenty of opportunity will be afforded
those who enjoy this pastime to in
dulge themselves to the limit.
Castner City park has been put in
the best possible shape for the cele-
bration and with the ample shade af-
forded by the many trees and the
above program, no better place to
spend the Fourth could be found.

Boys on Tour Picked Up Here

Two Great Falls boys, giving their
ages as IL year and the names of
Snyder and VovOtney, we're turned
over to the local officials last Thursday
afternoon after they had ran away
from their homes in Great Falls and
set out to see the world. They rode
into Belt ON top of box car and on
arriving here the conductor of the
freight escorted them down town and
finding Police Magistrate Sullivan
turned them over to him. he later
turning them over TO Deputy Sheriff
Jay Leland, who acted as their host
until the following day, when Sheriff
Bob Gordon came out and took them
back to the Falls
The boys had neither money nor
provisions and seemed glad that their
sight seeing tour had been inter-
rupted in it's early stages. One Of
them was without shoes or head COW
ering. Both were able to eat heavy
meals when the deputy took them TO
the Black Diamond cafe for supper
the evening they were picked up. 4

Home Study Tour
TO be Instructive

Plans for the Home Study tour TO
the Mason community near Monarch,
arranged by Miss Alberta Borthwick,
home demonstration agent. which will
take place week from Monday, July
10, have been well worked out, and
any lady who can make the tour will
learn something which If applied to
her own home will make it more con-
venient and tighten her work. Some
Of the things of interest to see and
hear discussed are an iceless refrig-
orator, running water in the house,
remodeling kitchens, inexpensive labor
savers, and arrangement Of home
grounds.
All cars making the tour will gather
at the King ranch one half mile east
of Monarch canyon at 8 o'clock sharp.
At the King ranch an iceIess refrig
orator in operation will be inspected,
along with the poultry house. At the
Busch ranch the visitors will be shown
how easily a small useless pantry can
be remodeled into a convenient built
ing cabinet, and at the Lister ranch
the convenience Of running water will
be discussed and demonstrated, a
power washer being used for the later
purpose.
This will conclude the forenoon and
all cars will go to little flat near the
w. ID. Edwards ranch, where the
women Of the community will serve
coffee TO all who bring cups and
spoons. After lunch Miss Turley,
state leader Of home demonstration
agents, will give suggestions for re-
modelling the kitchen at the Edwards
ranch so as to make the working space
more compact and convenient. There
will be few more homes to visit
where kitchens and home equipment
will be inspected.
The tour promises 10 be a very in
structeive one, especially so for farm
women. and it is probable that a
number from here will join it.

FIuhr Given Sur
prise on Birthday

Last Thursday evening Mrs. w. H.
FIuhr entertained a number of ladies
at cards, four tables being in play,
and Mrs. John Jzap winning the first
prize in a cut with several ladies with
an equal score Mrs. N. H. Browning
received the low score prize. Fol-
lowing the games a nicely served
lunch wa senjoyed by the guests.
Thursday being the 31st anniver--
sary of Mr.. Fluhr's birth, some 80 add
friends of the family made a descent
upon the Fluhr residence in the even
ing, taking Mr. Fluhr by complete
surprise, and proceeded to make them
selves at home with the sanction of
Mrs Fluhr, who had arranged the af-
fair Tables were soon in place and
the game announced as series whist.
five hands being played at each table
before the winners advanced to the
next, the first hand being plain whist,
the second "blind pig" third dealer
name trump, fourth reject tricks and
fifth no trump. The novelty of the
games soon had everybody interested
and the competition furnished consid-
cradle amusement. Miss Josephine
Adams proved the luckiest among the
ladies and was presented the head
prize, while c. H. Provin's luck held
good in cutting with several other zen
tlemen for the gentlemen's head prize.
Mrs. r. H. Bemis succeeded in gaining
the low score among the ladies, while
J. s. Pearson was similarly successful
IN the low score among the gentlemen,
both being consoled by appropriate
prizes.
After the games were concluded,
tables were spread and fine lunch
served, the birthday cake with its 81
candles occupying a conspicuous place
at the head of the table. 1t was
rather scandalously late hour when
the guests bid their host and hostess
good night, but none forgot to wish
Mr.. Fluhr many returns of the happy
occasion.

place about here On the Lewis place
where the bait has been used, the hop
pers have done considerable damage
to the spring wheat, though as yet
but little damage has been done to
the winter wheat. Thousands of dead
insects could be seen on the ground,
but many more had hatched out and
come in onto the grain and the fields
were virtually alive with them. But
in spite of this Mr.. Carroll stated it
as his opinion that by placing the bait
regularly at least two-thirds of the
crop could be saved. Further up the
creek the hoppers did not appear to
be so numerous, and Just below town
on the ranches where continuous
warfare has been waged they are
completely under control with prac-
tically no damage done.
And this latter fact holds true in
all sections where the fight was be-
gun early and frequent applications
of the bait was spread. The hoppers
are being killed off as they are
hatched or come in onto the grain.
While there are still Millions or re-
Gently Matched, smail hoppers, there
are also many which have attained
their growth, and it is said to be these
grown ones that do the damage to
winter wheat after the more tender
grains and grasses have been de-
stroyed, getting onto the straw and
sucking the sap out of it just below
the head, keeping the grain from
filling and causing the head to fall off.
From the reports received by Mr..
Carroll he has come to the conclusion
that taking this community as whole
the pests are pretty well under con-
troll and that if this point can be kept
stocked with material and the farm
ers will continue the fight as they
have so far, no great loss will be suf-
fered. While many farmers have
gotten and used the bait once or twice,
he points out that the best results
nan be hoped for only through
use Of the bait over such
period as the hoppers may continue
The cost Of this is not pro-
nibitive, being about is cents per acre
10 the farmer for each application
Altogether the fight has so far been
very successful, but il either is not
being waged so generally as it should
De or else there are some more fav-
,red communities which the hoppers
nave not infested.

Hopper War Continues
With Very Good Results

The busiest place in town Tuesday
was the agricultural room of the High
school auditorium, and Agriculturist
A. X. Carroll was undoubtedly the
busiest man in the city. The activity
was incident to the war being waged
against the grasshoppers in this sec
tion of the county, and nearly four
tons of bran were mixed and sent out
to be used in the campaign, going
generally to all parts of this end of
the county, though probably the great
er amount of it went to the section
about Stockett, where the hoppers are
just beginning to appear and where
the farmers seem to be alive to the
necessity of putting up a strenuous,
continuous fight in order to save their
crops.
This amount of bran, which means
nearly eight tons of the prepared bait,
is considerably more than double the
amount sent out any previous day, the
average all through the campaign be-
ing about one and one half tons daily
1t about exhausted the supply of
coarse bran available here, though an
other shipment of three tons is ex-
pected in on tomorrow's local freight
There is however, some of the finer
bran still available, though this is
said not to be as good as the coarse
kind.
So far over 25 tons of bran have
been used, requiring $50 gallons of
molasses and six barrels, or about
ton and a fourth of crude arsenic.
Sufficient of the arsenic and molasses
are on hand TO last the week out at the
present rate of consumption, but an
additional supply will be needed by
the first of next week, Mr.. Carroll be-
lieves, if the war is to be continued,
and he has been in touch with County
Agent MacSpadden in an effort to
have additional supplies on hand
when needed. He estimates that the
work must be continued for another
10 days or two weeks if the best re-
suits are to be obtained.
A visit TO the infested fields where
the bait has been used shows the eff
of it. Tuesday night Ag
riculturist Carroll and the writer vis-
tied the Alf Lewis ranch on Lower
Belt and other places in that section
which were hailed out last fall. This
region, according to the reports re-
,eived by Mr.. Carroll, is the worst
nit by the hopper menace Of any

TO Condemn for
RiCevi||e Highway

Harry o. Beale, superintendent of
maintenance on the state highway ex-
tending from Arlington to the Te-
ton county line, was in the city last
Thursday while on tour of the road,
and stated that it was his understand
ing that the state highway commission
and the board of county commission
ers had decided to construct the Arm
ington- Riceville road this year yet,
and that bids would be called for
shortly, the work TO be started this
coming month and completed early
in October. Mr.. Beale's understand
ing confirms the report published in
the Times two weeks ago
AS yet the board of commissioners
have not secured the entire right of
way, and if further efforts arc not
successful the highway commission
will file condemnation under the en-
inent domain clause with which that
body is armed, and work will go
ahead without delay. The commits
sioners themselves have no such right,
and condemnation proceedings under
them is long court procedure and
would mean delay of many months,
which the highway commission win
not stand for, so the action is to be
brought by the highway commission,
which causes little or no delay, the
commission simply applying to the
district court for board of apprais-
ers, who view the land, set value
upon ii and make their report. The
land is then transferred to the state
at the figure set by the appraisers,
and there is no appeal from their de-
rision
1t is understood that only in one in
stance is this expected to be necessary
on the Riceville road, all other land
owners giving the right Of way out
right or at a nominal consideration
TO reimburse the owner for moving
fences and buildings.
The present prospects for the COM
pletion of the road this year Ia par
ticularly pleasing to the people living
along the route, for the reason that
the present road is hard one to
travel under the most favorable con-
iitions, and all but impassable in
stormy weather and in the winter.
The new road will give them an all
season highway.

Belt Loses Came
to RayneSfordites

In its first game of the season tn,
Belt baseball team met defeat at tbs
hands of the Raynesford team las'
Sunday by a score of 19 TO 9, but al
that the locals demonstrated that with
practice they have team which coulc
put up good quality of ball and sup
ply some good entertainment during
the summer.
With Fluhr pitching for the locals
the first couple of innings looked like
a sure victory, with the score stand
ing 8 to ] in their favor. But with
two on bases in the second inning A.
McInnis swatted home run, scoring
three for Raynesford and leaving Belt
but single point lead.
For the next five innings the scor-
ing was fairly evenly divided and il
might have been anybody's game, but
in the seventh the locals went to
pieces and with errors galore allowed
Raynesford to run their score up to
10, while they were kept hurrying to
increase their count TO 9 points.
Geo. w. Stuffel, who umpired the
game, was struck in the eye by a
batted liner, glancing off from the
pitchers mitt, and as consequence he
has been exhibiting beautifully col
AIRED and badly swollen eye, while l..
B. Lockhart brought home one but lit
tie less attractive, the result of paying
more attention to- the ground over
which he was running in an attempt
to gather in a bated fly during prac-
tice than to the location of the ball,
which landed in his eye instead of
his mitt.
The team is composed Of w. H.
Fluhr, pitcher; Nels johnson, catcher;
Jack Bachen, shortstop; B. Buehler,
first base; J. r. Culver, second; Andy
Wanta, third; John Sabo, left field;
John Boboth, center; Harry Brown
ing, right Mr.. Culver is captain, l..
B. Lockhart, manager, and M. 7. Mes
selt, secretary In Sundays
game the team lined up as above with
.he exception of Lockhart and Alex
McGraw filling Culver's place at Sec
md. Several games for the imme-
iiate future have been arranged, one
With Geyser at Geyser next Sunday,
and one with Highwood here a week
from Sunday. A number Of people
are planning on accompanying them
