Editor Telegram: In my estimation
there is no one man in Lakeland bet
ter qualified for leading citizen than
the Hon. II. J. Drane.
And | fear two hundred words are
hardly adequate to express the many
reasons why Mr.. Drane should be
elected as our leading citizen.
Mr.. Drane has been associated with
and worked for the best interests of
Lakeland since this now beautiful city
was small country village.
He was active in bringing to, and
helped build, the first railroad into
Lakeland. Also the first church (Epis-
copaD OF which he has always been
a leading member.
His home, "Hillcrest," in which he
has reared most charming family, is
one of the most beautiful homes in
Lakeland.
Always prominent in both civic and
public affairs, Mr. Drane, several
years ago superintended the planting
of those large beautiful oaks in Mum
Park, which now add so much to the
comfort of the home folks and tour
lists.
Mr.. Drane is prominent in fraternal
circles and club life of the city. cd

gress to serve his city, state and coun-
try at Washington, make my grand

wrote the original story of Our
Leading Citizen" the Paramount

rector Alfred Green.
During his California visit, Mr.
AIDE conferred with the casting direc-
tor in the selection of the cast which
includes Lois Wilson. Theodore RO-
berts. William p. Carleton, Guy Oil
yer and others.
AS result of this intimate assO-
citation of the author and the various
production elements. Our Leading
Citizen" is faithful reproduction sf
the story exactly as Mr. AIDE wrote
it and intended it to be played 1t
boasts of number of original sub
titles by the author that are of the
calibre that gained him his present
place in the front rank of American
men of letters. Lois Wilson is lead

What are the most necessary quail
ties that go to make leading citizen ?
First, a Christian, and his charac-
ter should be above reproach, for
character is stock in trade - the
more man possesses the greater his
facilities for adding to it. Moral char
acter has an Immortality that no
sword point can destroy. Character
is power, is influence, it makes
friends, it gives you honor and hap
piness. An influential man, and his
influence be great for good. As
character walks the whole world and
distributes itself as benediction or
curse. He should be a great man
OF who uses his brains, one who has
something to do and does 1t with all
Ii might He, should be a friendly
M n, for the way to have friends is
be a friend yourself. He should
have self reliance, his motto should
be excelsior. Yes, give us a man or
woman who beams character, and the
world will point him out as the lead
ing citizen. p. ID. 5.

and fretghted nine miles across the
country by Kirkendall and Brown.
"1n August, 1854, the Utah & Nor
thern extended its line into Ana
conda."
In 1885 Mr.. Leonard gave up his
railway connection and moved to An
aconda where he purchased the Ana
conda Review, which had been estab-
lished few months before by John
s. Mills. This paper had been print
ed in Butte, but Mr.. Leonard bought
a Washington hand press In Helena
and proceeded to get out his paper at
home with hand power. With his
brother. Frank NJ. Leonard, he was
engaged in running off his first edi-
ton when word was received of the
death of General Grant. In few
minutes they had torn down their
forms, made over and had given the
village of Anaconda its first extra. =
The news Of General Grants death
was published in Anaconda almost as
Qickly as 1t was in New York city or
Chicago.
Mr.. Leonard did not remain long
in the newspaper field. The lure of
the railroad business was too strong
and he soon accepted position as
travelling freight and passenger agent
for the Missouri Pacific with head
quarters in Butte. Later he served
in a similar capacity for the same
road for IL years in Salt Lake.
It is but fitting recognition of his
services in the early days of railroad
construction in the mountain country
that now Mr.. Leonard should be made
historian of the great railway system
whose foundations he helped to lay.

|MlSSOULA COUNTY LEADS
THE STATE IN BACHELORS

Missoula county is the garden spot
of Montana for mate-seeking females.
according to County Assessor Cuth-
bert Peat.
Missoula's returns in paid-up bach
elor taxes are higher than any other
county in the state, he declared after
checking up his receipts. Approx
mately $50 bachelors have paid their
immunity assessments, Peat an
nounced. These, he said, are the less
shy ones. He estimated that at least
1900 other eligibles were in hiding
within the county's borders, and al
though they may be inaccessible to
|process-servers, might still be in
weighed into the open by the proper
approach of persons in petticoats. His
deputies are all Of the masculine sex,
however.
While pleased at the record made
by Missoula county, the assessor said
he would continue efforts to round up
the untrammeled ones. About 1000
men in the county. he estimated, are
eligible to pay a marriage license fee
but 500, he believes, are exempt from
provisions Of the bachelor tax because
they now are supporting one or more
dependents.
Strangely enough, listing and tax
ing Of the greatest number of bach
elors in a single county in the state
has failed to be reflected in the mar
riage license receipts. Either the
females are less predatory than in
the usual season, or the males are
more wary this year. The fact re-
mains that November's total of mar
riage permits has fallen far below the
usual marriage season records.

Collins reviewed the negotiations

representing Helena, with federal Of
ficials in regard to the enlargement
of the public health service hospital
at Fort Harrison and the establish
ment of a federal vocational training
school for disabled veterans which
resulted In assurance that these two
projects will be realized.
Collins states that there is some
hopes of getting the Helena sub-of-

bureau enlarged to the status Of a

be in q much better position to ask
for this after the enlargement OF the
hospital and the establishment of the
