Spring.

This is the open season for Spring
poets. The limit is five in any one
day. It's an unjust law and should
be amended or repealed.
Why should a Grabbed world take
offense at a Spring poet?
What harm, pray, is there in giving
poetic vent to ones feelings anent
that glorious season when Nature,
coaxed by the returning sun, shuffles
off the icy coils, clothes herself with
beauty, and quickens the human heart
into livelier joy; when words of love
and confidence are spoken in such
sweet cadence that they fall upon the
ear like the gentle murmur of low
fountain, stealing forth in the midst of
roses or the soft sweet accents of an
angels whisper in the bright joyous
dream of sleeping innocence?
1t looks like we are going to have
some more snow that's why.

dictionary party into the snowbouna
wilderness of the Beartooths in jan
uary. The magazine section of the
Pioneer Press gave additional noun
tain scenes with a story of their ex-
periences at related by Mr.. Suessen-
guth. The winter seems viii be re-
leased by the Fox Distributing COM
pany in the near future.
In his interview with reporter of
the Press Mr.. Suessenguth stated
"about us were high peaks and steep
crags, lending a grandeur that made
us all feel helpless and insignificant
as the tiniest mites. Before US OPEN
ed the most wonderful sights | have
ever seen. Here and there, stretching
away to the distance we could see
lonely jack pines, standing up out of
the snow, looking for all the world
like sentine's waiting to guide us. 1t
was a scene such as Service describes
in "The Shooting Of Dan McGrew"
and the thrill we got repaid US for all
our hardships."
The party experienced unusual ad-
venture, cold, hunger and fatigue III
a region of glaciers, dizzy cliffs, gap
ing crevasses in hidden ice and mag
nificent scenery.

ased by w. w. Flashman, was formal

Enterprise.

Whoever is responsible for that new
reinforced, six-cy,inder cinder walk ex-
tending from Broadway to Willard Av-.
enue on West Ninth Street is entitled
to vote of thanks from every resi-.
dent of the northwest part of the city.
It's a little crooked, It's true, but
no matter. 1t fills a long felt want
and is withal a thing of beauty es-
pecially in the Spring. One of the
main arroyas traversed by it is brid
ed in two places and the wayfarer is
certain to hit one of them if he stays
reasonably sober. If he doesn't, he
at least has chance to be rescued
should he fall in.

NOT A FAILURE
By E. P. CONWELL

1t has been we'll said that fails who strives
in great cause. The pathway of mankind through
all the ages is strewn with wrecked hopes and shat
tired Dreams but no man fails who strives earnestly
and faithfully
O. H. P Shelley our representative IN Washing
ton during the past two months, did everything IN
his power to have bill passed. authorizing the con-
struction of the Red Lodge Cooke City road. Be-
cause of chain of circumstances over which he had
no control the bill failed in this session Of Congress-
The fact u.s. that the bill was tied up in the House
committee and while Congressman LeaVtt is not to
blame there is no doubt that had it been given con-
sderation it would have passed both Houses and
probably would have been signed by the President
We did our best here. We have no reason to
pine or complain-we simply failed to succeed. The
wears to come may bring success and realization OF
our hopes and dreams and that the proposed road
is necessary and that there is CRYING and lmmed-
late need of it's construction matters not Shelley
did his best in Washington. We did our best here,
SO we should not repine because in the rapturous
hour when we reach out after the beautiful crea-
tons of our dreams had wrought the bubbles burst
and vanish into thin air.
The people of Red Lodge and Carbon County
are not made of that kind of metal Their eyes are
ever on the futures peaks their steps lead ev-
er sunward, their hearts are stepped in Natures
gold, their souls have caught the vision NO haltng
as thev climb the slopes that lead to new endeavors
nor looking back to outgrown forms and mouldv
monuments and mile-stones of the past, but press
ing on new trails to blaze, and finding as they go
new hopes, new problems and new achievements.
We did not fail. The Red Lodge-Cooke City
road will be built in the future.

THAT the man who earns and saves is contented

THAT there are men who wonder why some men

THAT your civic leaders always unselfshly put
more into cite than they get out of it, and it makes
them happy to see the community prosper.
THAT you can't be halfway for your city, OF fault
