HOUSE IN DEBATE ON
MARRIAGE LAW
Fight Over Bill Requiring 49,
Hour Lapse Between License
And Ceremony.

Considerable debate developed in
the House Thursday on Delegate Con-
ways bill, which would require a
lapse of AZ hours between the appli-
cation for, and the issuance of, mar
riage license in the State.
Sentiment appeared well divided as
TO whether the bill should be made to
apply to all persons, as it is now
drawn, or only to non-residents of the
State.
The measure came out of commit
tee with an unfavorable report, but
the report was not adopted, and so
much discussion developed that the
bill was made the order of special
business.
Delegate Green offered an amend
ment which would exempt Allegany
and Garrett counties from the opera
ton of such a law, if enacted. He
said the rigorous weather and conse-
quently bad travelling conditions
would make such a law a hardship
on Western Maryland residents.
Despite prolonged speech by
Delegate Daniel Joseph, opposing
any amendment which would inter-
fere with the Statewide uniformity
of the law, Delegate Green's amend
ment was adopted by vote of II
to SO. Many other amendments APP
peared in ahe offing.

OLIVER r. LEIGHTON

Mr.. Oliver R. Leighton, we'll
known and highly respected citizen, of
near Oakland, died at his home Sun
day morning, March 9th, after
long illness. Some four years ago he
became afflicted with rheumatism and
had been constant sufferer ever
since, thus making him inactive to a
great extent. About ten days ago
he was stricken with pleurisy, which
developed into pneumonia and when
complications set in caused his de-
mise. He was son of the late Mr..
and Mrs. Isaac Leighton, and came to
this county with his parents in 1882
and lived in this vicinity until his
death. On April %, 1899 he was
married to Laura A. Sines and to this
union were born five children, all of
whom are living. Russell and Floyd,
who own and operate the American
Garage, Clarence, Ralph and Alvey,
all of whom reside at home. He also
leaves two brothers and four sisters:
Isaac, of Weiser, Idaho; Herbert ",
Mt. Lake Park, Md; Mrs. Rhoda
David, Sebring, Fla; Mrs. J. NJ.
Falkensteih, Oakland; Mrs. G. H.

Merchants and Business Men
Will Close for Holy Week and
Good FRIDAY Services

The merchants and business men
will again cooperate this year and
close their places of business so that
the Union Holy Week Services, which
will be held each day from 1905 to
1880, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
and Thursday in the Presbyterian
church and from one to three o'clock
on Good Friday.
These services will begin promptly
at 1905 and will close at 1890. Each
day there will be a different speaker,
who will brin. a short and helpful
message. The services are designed
to bring all into closer touch with the
Christ whose passion and death we now
celebrate. The Good Friday service
will be held from to 8 o'clock, when
a special service will be held. In as
much as it is a holiday we ought to
make it holy and sacred day when
together we should stand beneath the
cross in an attempt to grasp its deep
est meaning.
These services ought to make their
appeal and all should strive to aid in
their success, certainly every true
heart will desire to be more filled
with that love which prompted the
Masterto die that we might live. The
least we can do is to worship Him in
spirit and in truth.

WE'LL PROGRESSES

Word has been received from the
Dry Greek oil field that the Ohio Oil
company, which is drilling test well,
had reached a depth of lao feet on
Tuesday. They are making from 60 to
rs feet per day. It is estimated that
in from five to seven days they will
be in the Eagle sand, which will be at
a depth of about 1900 feet Oil and
gas was struck in the upper sands
in commercial quantities, but as this
is we'll to test field, they are con-
tinuing on to the Eagle sands and
when they reach that point regardless
of the quantity of oil they will drill
on to the next sand which is the first
frontier sand. This is from 800 to
1000 feet beyond the Eagle sand
When they pass through the frontier
sands they will continue on to the
second frontier which will be at a
depth of $500 feet. After completion
of the test well they will start drill
ing for commercial wells, developing
the first sands first and so on until

CANNING FACTORY
STARTS CAMPAIGN
this AFTERNOON

According to plans the Red Lodge
Canning company will start their fac
tory this afternoon. The first peas to
be canned will come from the ranch
owned by F. E. Everett, located on
Dry Volney Creek according to H.
E. Bitter. The next field to be harvest
ed will be from the farm owned by
William Larkin of Red Lodge. This
farm is located on the main Volney
creek. The factory opens two weeks
fater this year than last, this is ac-
counted for by the early wet weather
which delayed the farmers in plant
ing their crops. However, the factory
expects to double their pack of last
year, which the office records shows
as $4,000 cases.
Mr.. Bitter stated that they had con-
tracted for $50 acres. The last three
weeks in August the factory will re-
main open both day and night in or
dCl W lelhS NdlC VI lilt CIODS. L llC
canning of peas was finished on Aug
ust 81 of last year, but it will be
necessary to run into September this
year.
Mr.. M. H. Mann will, be in charge
this season supervising the packing Of
the peas and assisting in the office.
1t is understood that Mr.. Ray Smith
of Billings will be in charge of the
office.
The system of paying the farmers
this year is somewhat different from
that of last year. The peas being pait
for according to the grade. Six cents
a pound will be paid for No. l and 2
three and three-fourths cents for No
and two cents for No. 5.

CARBON COUNTY TO
EXHIBIT AT STATE
AND EMPIRE FAIRS

Carbon county will exhibit at the
State Fair at Helena and also at the
Midland Empire Fair at Billings, as
result of the meeting of the COM
mittee of Beartooth Boosters with
the Board of County Commissioners
Wednesday, who agreed to make their
appropriation large enough to exhibit
at both fairs. The committee, compos-
ed of William Larkin, G. B. Foltz, Ed
Bloom and 0. H. P. Shelley, stated
that Carbon county has prospects of
the best crops that it has had fol-
years and therefore it was expedient
that Carbon county be represented al
both fairs. The County Commissioners
signified their willingness to comply
with the request of the committee
provided man could be secured to
gather the exhibits. Mr.. F. |. Peterson
of the Smith-Hughes department of
the high school has agreed to assist
in whatever way he can in securing
the exhibits.
J. B. Convery, member of the board,
was in receipt Of telegram from A.
H. Bowman, Commissioner of the De-
partment of Agriculture, Labor and
Industry, stating that Col. Chas. A.
Lindbergh, worlds premier aviator
who with his silver plane flew alone
across the Atlantic, will fly to Helena
and attend the state fair. This will
insure an attendance beyond the
record of previous years.
1t is hoped that the farmers of the
county will cooperate with the COM
missioners and the committee in Sc
lecting grains, grasses, vegetables and
fruits to be taken to Helena and Bill
lings. Any farmer can find out what
the committee wants by calling or
writing to the Secretary Of the Bear
tooth Boosters club. 1t is hoped that
every locality in the county will be
represented and it is the plan of the
committee to visit each community.
