GREAT NORTHERN ANNOUNCES A
new SCHEDULE---BECINS JUNE IS

The following proposed train sched-
ule to be effective June 18th has been
sent out by the Great Northern of
ficials.
The fact that it has been released
two months before effective gives rea-
son for belief that the proposal is ten
tative and an expression of the senti-
ment of the towns affected by the
change is desired. So far as Belts
interests are concerned, the change
would not be prejudicial except in the
mail service. People desiring to read
the morning paper might have diff
Guilty in getting it and the same thing
is unquestionably true as far as Moe
casin, but between that town and Bill
lings we imagine the parties inter-
ested viii raise clamor to high
heaven.
Effective June Is, the Great North
ern will make a complete change in its
Burlington route trains in and out of
Great Falls which will allow travellers
between that place and Billings to
take night trains with standard sleep
ers both ways. The new schedules
will, moreover, establish better service
between Glacier and Yellowstone
parks and between the northern and
southern Montana oil fields.
This announcement was received
from A. J. Dickinson, passenger traf-
fic manager of st. Paul The new
schedules provide for changes to cover
the park tourist season, June Is to
September 15, and also arrange for
different service after the fall date.
Trains 43 and Al on the Burlington,
now operating between Kansas City, |
Billings, Great Falls and Seattle, pass
out of existence June Is. They have
been working in connection with trains /
Nos. and on the Great Northern
west of Spokane.
New trains, to be known as No. al
and No. AZ, win be routed, to run be-
tween Billings and Glacier Park sta
ton during the season, starting June
Is. Westbound No. Ill will leave Bill
lings at $3.50 p. m, arriving here at
$3.50 the following morning. Leaving
Great Falls at z a. M, the train con-
tinues to Shelby, arriving there at

American Legion Smoker Thursday
Night Was Huge Success
Willard Knocks Out j. johnson

Thursday night the local post of the
American Legion had an open house
smoker for all men who desired to
attend.
The Legion is not secret organi-
alton and a great many were privi-
legged to attend the business session
which preceded the entertainment
program The eyes Of many were
opened when they learned of the al
truistic activities of the organization.
Commander Baptiste Pizzini presided
over the meeting and after this por-
ton of the evenings business had
been worked over, invited all mem
bers and guests to adjourn to the
large hall where four boxing bouts
were held between local boys. The
gloves were large, the rounds were
short and the exhibitions furnished hi
larious amusement to the gathering.
The first battle, between Terry Nc
Govern and Young Corbett, was fast
and apparently one-sided but Bill
Fluhr was heartily appIauded when,
rs referee, he decided the battle a
draw.
Jimmy Wilde and Battling Nelson
then fought four rounds to a draw,
after which four rounds between F'irpo
and Bill Brennan came to the same
conclusion, but the event of the even
ing was the combat between Jack
Johnson and Jess Willard, which was
30 funny that tears started in many
eyes. In the fourth round, with one
tremendous swing, Willard floored
the erstwhile champion for the count.
Later all the boys joined the men

HOW SERVICES POEMS WERE
 PUT IN PRINT

Now that the Yukon ballads of Rob ert W. Service are read the wide world over and he is recognized as one of the most gifted writers of his day, every little sketch of his car ger is read by the admirers of his works with great interest. His for mer cottage home in Dawson is the mecca of throngs of tourists who every summer come to the land of the midnight sun.
 Service first gained recognition with his little volume of verse known as "The Song of a Sourdough.' A friend. writing of his experiences, says;
 Nearly all of the Songs of Sour dough" were written at the foot of the famous Miles canyon, at point near the Whitehorse rapids. To this place he would go on evenings and Sundays to write on his pieces, When his first manuscript, "The Songs or Sourdough" was complied he for warded it to various publishing houses. including William Briggs, who afterward became his publisher. All of them returned the manuscript with the usual note that they could not use the work. Believing that the pieces possessed some merits, he decided to publish a few copies him. self and present them to his friends at Christmas time, and also to enjoy the satisfaction of having his name on the book as author. With this end in view he communicated with various publishers. and finally de- cided to give the contract to publish I believe, twenty-four copies, to Wll- liam Briggs, of Toronto, for the sum of $1OO.
 About the time that the book was off the press one of Briggs western travelling men happened to be III the office, and noticed a copy Of the book. He took the book home that night and read it. The next morning he came to the office and told the manager that the book contained "some damned good stuff,' and that he believed it would go" like hot cakes in the West. Leaving for the West in few days, he took copy of the work with him. which he showed to friends along the route. with the result that they went wild over the book which he forwarded to the head office Orders for the work commenced to pour in on every mail from the West and the William Briggs Company got busy, hit the wires to ascertain what royalties Service would accept, As they had
