CoIumbus Uav in Timberline.


The morning was a beautiful one,
and quite a number of the citizens of
the little camp were filled with enough
patriotism to leave their work at the
early hour of 9 o'clock to attend ex-
ercises at the school house, conducted
by the master Of ceremonies, j. L.
Wells. The programme was well car
ried out and the children entered into
the spirit of the occasion with a good
deal Of zest.
First in order was the reading OF
the proclamation by Mr.. Wells. Teach
er and children then repaired to the
unfurling of the flag which was done
by James Young, followed by cheers
so heartily given that even the noun
tains gave back the echo. Then came
the salute to the flag, reading OF
Scripture, prayer, and song of "COl-
umbus Day" The address, "The
Meaning of the Four Centuries" by
James Young, was very nicely rem.
dered, as we'll as the reading Of the
ode, columbus Banner" by Edgar
Fox.
The history of the flag was givel
by some Of the little folks, followed
by the song, "Our Flag"
Jane Boucher, Nellie AthertOn, anc
Jane Taylor represented "Our Col
1 ors'' in the red, white and blue.
There were a number of other reel
tations, all touching on the Stars ant
Stripes. Taking all in all, Mr.. Well
deserves great credit for the efficien
manner in which he carried out tn
programme, as but little time wa
consumed in the preparation.

miners and other workingmen, and
general prosperity for the entire

The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1925-10-23

All of the candidates on the Re-
publican ticket stand well in the COM
munity, and are daily gaining in pop
ular favor, and there seems to be no
good reason why they should not be
elected. This is a presidential year,
a Republican year, and the Repub-
licans are evidently in the ~ascendancy
in old Gallatin county. A united eff
fort, a full vote and a fair count will
result in a splendid victory.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1925-10-23

BOzeman's capital prospects II i'm
proving each succeeding day, and they
will continue so until the day of the
election. The lying and constantly re-
iterated statements of Helena's pur-
chased papers, to the eject that the
contest has narrowed down to a choice
between two cities-Helena and Ana
conda-are too absurd and m~anifestly
malicious to gain extensive credence
with honest, intelligent voters. 1t is
a desperate, dirty scheme to detract
frsm the strength and popularity Of
Bozeman in order to gain a few votes
for a town that never had a good
word to say for any Of its rivals.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1925-10-23

Tom Corbitt, a worthy citizen of
Gallatin, met his death by accident
tuesday morning. While out hunting
he killed a duck near the head of the
Missouri and it is presumed that while
endeavoring to get it out of the water
he slipped and fell in. His hat was
found some distance down the river,
but no trace of his body had been
found at last reports.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1925-10-23

It hardly seems possible that any
resident of Gallatin county would
think seriously Of voting against Boze-
man for the capital; and yet is is re-
ported that half a dozen of just sucn
strange specimens of humanity are to
be found in this community. If 50
they are evidently candidates for one
or the other of the prominent state
institutions in Deer Lodge county.
This is a free country, to be sure, but
there seems to be no excuse for a mar
trying to become a two-legged donkey,
unless he has made the discovery that
he can attract attention in no other
imaginable way. In order to be fun
ny, it is not absolutely necessary thai
a man should become a fool.

ARKANSAS ASKS AIR UNIT
FOR ITS NATIONAL GUARD
Gov. Terrell Visits Coolidge-Lack
of Funds Chief Obstacle to
Plan. He Says.

Authority for establishment OF an
air service unit in the Arkansas Ma
tional Guard was sought today by
Gov. Terrell of Arkansas, who con
ferred with President Coolidge and
with Acting Secretary Davis of the
War Department. The governor was
accompa MED by Col j. r. Wayne,
Lieut.. Col. j :. Carroll Cone who is
State auditor, and Maj. HI. F. Frede-
man, all officers in the militia.
After their conference with the
President the delegation said they
Were encouraged at the outlook. and
believed way could be worked out
TO give the Arkansas National Guard
an aviation unit. Lack tof funds and
the Presidents request of the War
Department that expenditures for the
militia be kept at a minimum, they
said, were the chief obstacles to be
overcome.
In the event an air service unit is
created 1t is probable 1t will utilize
either the Governments aviation field
al Camp Pike or, have base at the
in;Nrnsediste depot near Little Rock.
