FIRST BAND CONCERT
ON THURSDAY EVENING

Tn first band concert of the sea-
son will be given Thursday evening
at the tourist camp ground in Bogert
park. Thereafter during the summer
season these concerts will be a week
ly event and will be enjoyed by both
visitors and townspeople.
The Bozeman band is this year the
best organization of its kind in the
state. Always the local band has
born a reputation for producing good
music, but this season the band IS
better balanced than ever before,
many of the instruments are new, and
practice has been regular. In conse-
uuence, even better music than we
have had previously will be the treat
of Bozeman.
The tourist camp is being patron
lied better than ever before this early
in the season. Cars from almost ev-
cry state in the Union have made the
camp their headquarters, some stop
ping for but the one night, others
spending several days here. The In
clement weather has worked two
ways, it has kept some cars here
and on the other hand it has delayed
many from reaching Bozeman. There
are two or three families at the camp
awaiting the opening of the Yellow
stone Park season before going fur
ther.
1t is interesting to talk to thes'
tourists, learn of their experiences
where they are from, and most of u
can spend a profitable and enjOyabl
evening visiting the camp once in ;
while.

Fight Results When Cooper0tors Fall

Members Of the
Fists and Editor Now Faces Third Degree
Refuses President of Company Access to Books

F. C. Smith, for some time past
editor of the Rocky Mountain Amer
lean, a comparatively owned paper pub
lished at Manhattan must face charges
of third degree assault in Justice
Franks court tomorrow as the result
of a row held IN the American offices
early in the week. A. &. Cramer of
Belgrade filed the complaint against
Smith, who was arrested by Constable
Slaughter and later was released on
$50 bond.
1t seems that the fracas is the out
come of an effort to get rid of Smith
and is indirectly a result Of the action
Of the Manhattan commercial club,
who at a meeting held several weeks
ago, withdrew ali support of the busin-

To Hold Summer School at Emerson
Students to Be Charged Small Sum
Pupils Who Legitimate Cause
Failed in Their Work Opportunity Of Passing
Grades Nominal Fee VIII Be Charged

Always there are a good many pu-
pills IN the grade schools who for one
reason or another fail to pass their
grades in the spring. Where this is
due to sickness, unavoidable absence
or some other misfortune, it is Gus
tomary to let these pupils go to sum-
nler school and make up the work,
thus saving them spending another
entire year in school. Summer school
has already begun at the Emerson
school and will continue for the next
five weeks.
In explaining the summer school,
its objects and its conditions, Super
intendent R. ] Cunningham has the
following to say:
Arrangements have been made for
conducting summer school for five
weeks under the supervision Of the
city schools. The school will be FOR
those pupils who have been specif-
ically recommended for courses in one
Y two subjects. In special cases
these subjects may be taken. This

Gates were held Thursday evening of

ty, gave the address of the evening

in the courEes of study pursued by
these boys and girls, for next year
in the high school they will have the
option of choosing one Of several
courses of study open to them; in
deed, it marks the end of their pri-
mary schooling and the beginning Of
the days when they become real little

WALLACE MAY SPEAK
On GALLATIN DAY
Secretary of Agriculture Has Been
Asked to Address Gallatin County
Audience at Picnic

The committee in charge of the ar
rangements for Gallatin day is now
working on the program and every
effort is being made to secure the
presence Of Henry Wallace, secretary
of agriculture, to be the chief speak
er of the day. Mr.. Wallace has been
invited to come and as yet no defin-
ite reply has been received from him.
In case Mr.. Wallace cannot be here,
the committee will endeavor to get
either Senator Arthur Capper, leader
of the farm bloc in the senate, or SEN
ator John B. Kendrick, Of Wyoming,
to be here on Gallatin day.
While as yet the plans and pro-
gram for the celebration are not def
initely worked out, they are begin
ming to take on a somewhat definite
form. Company C of the 163rd in
fantry will give an exhibition drill
on the campus, under command of
Colonel Erastus Williams and Cap
tain George Finley.
A change from previous years is
included in the refreshments. II aas
been the custom to have barbecue,
but this has entailed not only an an
due amount of trouble, but consider
able expense. The former item is the
important one, as it has been nee
essary to get the meat several days
beforehand and keep it in cold stor-
age. The butcher shops of the city
are full of meat at this time in
preparation for the Roundup crowds
Of the following week, and it has beer
almost impossible to find cold stor-
age space for the whole carcasses
used in the barbecue. Because Of thii
fact it has been decided TO do ava,
with the meat this year and allow
everyone to bring the more substan
tjal part of their lunches themselves
The money previously spent in pre-
pairing and serving the meat will b.
put into other refreshments AM
there will be an abundance of water
melons, ice cream, lemonade, coffee
pickles and things Of kindred nature
| The committee is working on th
program at the present time and I
will be far the most attractive eve
offered Gallatin day audience.

Estimated That $4,000 Magpies Are
Destroyed in Recent County
Wide Contest. GilkeRson
Is Winner

May 81 marked the end of the mag
pie contest in Gallatin county and as
a result of the battle waged against
these winged pests it is estimated by
the committee in charge that some
$4,000 birds, or potential birds have
been destroyed during the past few
weeks. The contest, while not the
first of it's kind, was the most sys-
tematic ever conducted in this part
of the state and it's results far ex-
ceeded the expectations of those who
had the contest in charge.
In the contest 28,818 points were
scored by actual count. A magpie egg
counted one point and each pair Of
feet two points. The judges figure
that there were close to 10000 birds
actually accounted for, either living
birds or unmatched. In addition many
hundred of eggs were broken in the
collecting and before they were
brought 20 the judges. Besides thi:
hundreds of points were unaccounteC
for by youngsters who started the
contest but who did not go far enough
to get the necessary 100 points t.
qualify for one of the many prizes
There are youngsters all over th'
county who have from 20 to 20 pointi
and who never recorded the results O.
their work to the judges.
To create enthusiasm for the worl
and give the youngsters an incentive
to work for a large number of valu
able prizes were offered by differen
individuals and business firms of tn
county. These prizes were not isteC
but the winner of the contest was al
lowed first choice, the second highes
point winner second choice and so o
down the list. AS many of the prize
might appeal to one youngster nor
than to another, this was considere
the most satisfactory way of reward
ing the boys and girls for their worl
In all there were 27 prizes.
The contest was held under reguls
rules and regulations and was foste
ed by the cooperative efforts of IL
county agent, the farm bureau, tt
different rod and gun clubs and
some extent by the rural school teacl
ers.

MAY MAKES RECORD
FOR WET WEATHER
Last Month Was Wettest May in the
History of Local Weather
Records. Over Fear
Inches Fell

According to Prof. Edmund Burke,
chemist for the experiment station
and official weather recorder for this
part of the state, the month just past
showed more precipitation than any
other May during the 43 years or
official weather observance. There
was more rainfall during the month
just past than for any other May by
more than 70 per cent. During the
month, Al inches of rain fell in Boze-
man and the surrounding country, and
while the rainfall in the east end of
the valley is undoubtedly heavier than
in the lower part Of the county, still
the rains were fairly general and did
an untold amount of good. The av-
erage rainfall for May during the az
years that official records have beer
kept is 2.82 inches. In one day, May
IL, 1.19 inches of rain fell, a record
for this part of the state at any sea.
son of the year.
With all the rain we have been hav.
ing the general impression has beer
that the month just past was unusu
| ally cold. The records do not show
this to be the case. The mean tenn
perature for the month was 50.6 de-
grees, and the average temperatur
for May since 1880 is 49.4, which goe
! to show that it has been warmer thai
the average by more than a degree
In the sunshine record, it show
that there were 10 rainy days in tn
month, and IL were fair and partl,
cloudy, which is in itself a rather un
usual condition.
AS a result of all this moisture
things are growing as they seldor
do, even in this country of lus
growths and quick maturity of crop.
When the sun has shown it has bee
very warm, and warmth and plent
of moisture make ideal growing cor
ditions. The rain has in some way
been a drawback, for farmers al
later than usual in getting in the
crops. There is still some seeding {

"The object of the school is to give

AUCTION! AUCTION!
USED CARS FOR SALE

AS result of the activities of the
sheriff's force in capturing cars used
for the transportation of liquor in Gal
latin county the sheriff will soon offer
at least three used cars at auction. The
date of the auctions is not set, pend
ing orders from the court for their
disposition.
Already one car has been sold by
Sheriff Smith. This was a Chalmers
taken in when Claude Solt was ar
rested. This car brought $195 at auc-
tion. Of this money $50 was credited
to the sheriff's account for expenses
incurred in making the arrest, adver-
tising the car, selling it and paying
40 days board for Solt. The balance
$145, was by order of the court, turned
over to the Fransham garage in part
settlement for bill of $138.15 against
the car. The mortgage on the car, fol
this amount, was made out in the
county jail after Solt and the car haC
been captured.
Other cars in possession of the
sheriff and which will probably b,
auctioned off are a Ford, captured
with Ogden and Gerston, when the!
attempted to run in booze from tn,
Madison, King 8 that was taken il
with Frank Hendrix of Belgrade an,
Haynes sedan, captured with J. Clev
Beckwith last week coming iron
Livingston. In the case of the Hen
dirk car, a garage in Belgrade had
lien on the car before it was taken i
by the sheriff and the chances ar
this will be honored.
