the local institution in 1902, and has

BOzeman Business

Bozeman always has had the name
of being a good shopping town. In
its various shops and stores is a
wealth Of selection and a quality of
merchandise seldom found in the small
town, particularly in an agricultural
center. AS the years go by certain
improvements come, a store catering
to a special class of customers, a new
wrinkle in merchandising or a shop
that puts the town in the cosmopolitan
class.
With the installation of a flower

GALLATIN POULTRY
TO GO TO HELENA

Grant Thompson, poultry enthusi-
asst extraordinary, assisted by R. +.
Bodley and A. M. Brandenburg, are
busy looking over the purebred poul>
try in the county, preparatory to get
ting it in shape to go after the coun-
ty collective exhibit at the Montana
state fair. Mr.. Thompson and Mr..
Bodley are looking over the different
flocks now, banding the best speci-
mems and in other ways getting ready
to give Silver Bow and Lewis and
Clark counties a real run for their
money.
Mr.. Thompson is a dyed -in-the-
wool chicken crank of the worst, OF
best kind. Through an arrangement
made with the board of fair commits
sioners he will accompany the Gala
tin poultry to Helena, there to look
after them, pose them for the Judge
and of even greater Importance, see
that they are returned to their proper
owners.
Mr.. Thompson, Mr.. Brandenbure
and Mr.. Bodley all declare there i!
enough good poultry in the county tt
clean the state in a collective exhibit
but the trouble is too many peopl,
will not take the trouble to enter theil
birds. AS an incentive to entering
the birds this year the express will b,
paid by the fair commissioners from
their fund, and there is no excuse TO
any Gallatin poultry fan hanging
/ back.
If you have any purebred chickens
or other fowls for that matter, tha
look good to you, call up Count;
Agent Bodley, tell him what you have
Gallatin county needs your birds i

use Of raising good poultry and keer

ECLIPSE Of SUN
IS NOTICED HERE
Dim Light and Haze Characterize
Local Conditions

Modern knowledge has dispelled the
fears that used to always accompany
any unusual conditions in the heavens
and as a result the partial eclipse Of
the sun which occurred Monday after
noon and which was plainly discern
ible in Bozeman, passed without much
comment.
Many weeks previous to this the
mystics and soothsayers of different
parts Of the world have been picturing
all sorts of dire calamities which
would accompany the eclipse, the
world was coming to an end and every
other evil would crystalize into a terri
bic catastrophe, but alack for the
truth of these prophesies, the moon
trailed gravely along across the path
of the sun with no other apparent ef-
feet than a slight dimming of the So
lar rays for an hour or so Monday
afternoon.
People who resoIted to smoked
glasses were able TO see the eclipse
fairly well, or at least thought they
could. To the average, who were too
interested in mundane affairs to go
to that trouble, slight dimming Of
the usual light, with deeper shadows
and a sort Of unearthly haze char
actarized the passage Of the eclipse
The phenomenon was most plainly
visible in the valley between ] and 2
/ oscloek.
