DEMANDS
INVESTIGATION OF
IT'S WATER RATES

The town of Bridger is asking the
Montana Public Utilities Commission
for complete investigation into
water rates and service furnished by
the Bridger Water and Light company
The water used by the Bridger people
is taken directly from the Clarks Fork
river, pumped into reservoir and
distributed from there throughout the
community with no publication or iii
teration, the complaint recites, which
has been filed with the commission.
The complaint also alleges that the
rates are too high and chat the supply
is inadequate, the pressure being too
low, the water often unfit for domestic
use.
There is now a fiat charge of 81 a
month for domestic use with rs cents
for a second hydrant and so cents for
each additional outlet Added to this
is charge of one cent per square foot
each season for water furnished for
lawns and gardens. Bridger's monthly
bill is $3.50, mostly for fire protection
but it is claimed that the supply for
this purpose is not reasonably ade-
quate and the pressure is insufficient
a great deal of the time. The water is
often said to be muddy and at times
SO contaminated and polluted as to
make it unfit for domestic use.

PIONEER OF CARBON
COUNTY SUCCUMBS
AT CASTACNE HOME

Nels Nelson, pioneer rancher of the
Castagne district, died Friday, July
16, from acute dilation of the heart.
Mr.. Nelson had been i'll for some time
and had just returned from Thermop-
oils, where he underwent treatment at
the hot springs there. His death was
complete surprise to his many
friends in Red Lodge who had seen
him here Thursday on business trip
apparently in the best of health.
Mr.. Nelson was born in Sweden,
July 20, 1860. He came to Minneap-
oils in 1882, where he lived until 1888
when he moved to Montana, arriving
here when Carbon county was a part
Of Park county. Nelson assisted in
surveying the railroad from Laurel to
Red Lodge and he delighted in telling
of the rise of Red Lodge and Carbon
county which he witnessed and helped.
He is survived by his two brothers,
Olaf and Magnus, who lived with him
on their ranch near Castagne, and one
brother and three sisters who live in
Sweden. Funeral services were held
Sunday with Reverend Haugen presid-
ing. Interment was made in the Weast
cemetery under the direction of the
Downward Funeral home.

Aud Lang Sine

The pavement dance Saturday night
was grand success and everyone
present had a darn good time The
band functioned like a metropolitan
orchestra and the crowd was orderly
and jovial and happy. Taken alto
gether it was one of the most enjoy
able social events of this or any other
season and those who made it possible
deserve unqualified commentator.
But-why can't we have some old
fashioned square dances once in a.
while next time? l speak now for
Uncle Charlie and. Aunt Mariah and
Aud Lang Sine. Why, I say, cannot
the young men and women who are
schooled only in the modern, new
tangled steps have a glimpse of the
glorious schottiches, waltzes and reels
that were in vogue when their grand
pas were beaux and their grandmas,
God blessem, were the fairest bellies
of the countryside. There was never
anything invented that will even COM
pare with the old time dance.
The fiddler was an institution in
those days. Sometimes he had to be
primed about as often as the old
wooden pump but the way he could
render Turkey in the Straw, money
musk, Buffalo girls" or the "Ark-
ansaw Traveller" was a joy to hear.
The caller too, was an important pers-
onage in the community and he was
looked up to with a reverence almost
equal to that shown the minister.
Grandpa put taller on his boots and
grease in his hair and always had
breath like clover field. But he was
withal a thing of beauty and a joy
forever; and Grandma-Ah, boy, there
never was prettier girl on earth than
your grandma. She was little slip
pered and skirted dream of beauty
then. Her cheeks were full of roses,
her lips were full of laughter and her
heart was full of song. The dances
in those days were a jubilant throng
of dreams in summer dresses, and
downy Tipped dreamers in pantaloons
with hearts attuned to the lyrics of
love and levity and faces all aglow
with joy.
Let those who are modern or city
born and bred smile if they choose at
the simple delights of the country
folk of yesteryear in the attractions
they found at the real old fashioned
dance. To those who have experienced
such delights in their unsophisticated
youth the memories of them are all
tinged with beautiful golden hue:
and though they may laugh now at the
thought of such cheap gaudy sur
roundings it is the kind of laughter
that brings tears.
The modern dance is all right,
guess, but if we could just have
few of those old steps and square
dances next time it will be revelation
to many to know how enjoyable they
are, and then too there will be many
of those on the side lines who will
follow Fancy back over the years to
the long ago and who will swallow
hard and look the other way when
they think of all the wealth and
worldly wisdom they would exchange
