PAUL REVERE'S
MIDNIGHT RIDE
Continued from page one)

bard allowed his sense of the
dramatic to obscure the facts In
the case, with the result that a
somewhat fictitious story has been
| perpetrated IN an interesting but
inaccurate epic. For, instead 0f
reaching Concord. as LongfeIIow
relates, Paul Revere was captured
by the English just outside of
Lexington.
The division of information and
publication of the George Wash
ington Bicentennial commission,
apparently as particular with re-
gard to the truth as was the great
Father of His Country, his issued
a statement in recognition of the
one hundred and ninety-sixth
birthday anniversary, on January
1st, of the patriotic Mercury
which tells the story of Paul Re
vere's immortal midnight ride"
The year 1775 opened a very
critical situation in the American
Colonies, and even the most hope
full were becoming convinced that
an armed conflict with the mother
country was inevitable. British
troops were stationed in Boston,
which was considered the hot bed
of rebellion, but the presence of
these soldiers only made worse an
already hopeless condition. The
citizens of Boston vigorously pro-
tested England's action in station
ing an army there, and committees
were formed to keep a vig1lant
eye on the Redcoats and all their
movements. One purpose of these
committees was to prevent the
capture of John Hancock and
Samuel Adams, whom the English
regarded az s%editionists and who
were at that time really the lead
ers of the Massachusetts resist
ance to the authority Of Parlia-
ment.
Paul Revere, a Boston silver
smith, whose father was a Hugue-
not refugee to the colonies, was a
member of one of these commit
tees which reported directly 20
Adams and Hancock. In the early
part of April, ITS, the movements
of the British troops aroused the
suspicious of the patriot ~vigilantes
who became convinced that the
capture Of their leaders was in
tended. Revere had visited Lex
ington a few days before his mem
orable ride took place and on his
way back to Boston had stopped
in Charlestown to arrange with q
friend the means to be employed
in appraising the latter Of the
movements of the soldiers. Adams
and Hancock were in Lexington
and if their capture were intended
the men had to be informed be-
forehand.
On the night of April is, DR..
Joseph Warren learned that eight
hundred troops under 1t. Col.
Francis Smith were leaving with
the double objective Of capturing
Hancock and Adams and destroy
ing the military stores at Concord
which the patriots had been col
lecting. The future hero Of Bunk
er Hill Immediately dispatched
William Dawes for Lexington,
from which place he was to pro-
coed to Concord. Warren then
sent for Revere, whom he instruct

BLESSING IN DISGUISE

Entering a new year with a fair sized load of adversely on our
shoulders is not an unmixed misfortune. Instead of measuring things
ahead with oversize confidence and sweled ideas of bigger, faster and
ahead and try harder. Easy Street has few safety signs and many
dangerous curves. Maybe by 80 we will be just a far advanced
travelling OF the rocky road route.

CAMP OF PRINCETON GEOLOGICAL
EXPEDITION HUNS With ACTIVITY
PREPARING FOR SUMMERS WORK

group this year is the preparation
of guide book of the region which
is to be used by members of the
International Geographical and
Geological Congress of the World
when they visit the United States
next summer. The congress of
world-famous biologists and pal
eontologists will spend some time
in the Beartooth region, according
to reports.
Another enterprise which will
be undertaken by the students this
summer is the exploration of the
sandstone and clay beds below the
Eagle coal mine, near Bearcreek,
where DR.. Siegfriedt has unear-
thed many fossils of certain man.
mails.
The Beartooth area is said to be
the finest in the world for geolog-
ic study, as the various formations
from the earliest protozoic to the
quarternary period, are easily dis
tiguished and identified. The
Princeton group will attempt to
estimate the number of pleneplan-
ations which the local area has
undergone.
That the Bearcreek horizon will
effect startling discoveries, and is
ground for distinguished scien-
fists from all parts off the world
is the opinion voiced by DIR. Will
liam Taylor Thorn. The discovery
of dinosaur eggs in this vicinity
last summer is expected to be fol
lowed this year by even more in
teresting discoveries which will be
of great benefit to the scientists
of the world. DR.. Glenn L. Jepson,
who discovered the eggs last sum-
mer, plans to look for more per-
feet specimens this year, as the
expedition was unable to find any
which were unbroken in last years

O the Taxpayers
of Red Lodge

On June 23 the taxpayers of Red Lodge will be
given an opportunity to vote for or against a gas
franchise for the city.
Let us first take into consideration that Red
Lodge will become the tourist center of the North
west it we keep pace with progress and make our
city modern by giving our support to these meas
ures which can only be of the greatest benefit.
Without gas, we could not have modern tourist
camp and without modern tourist camp we would
lose thousands Of dollars worth of business every
year. vi
1t is undoubtedly true that all Of us realize with
great deal of pleasure, and are looking forward
with high hopes to the benefits that all of us will
derive from the Red Lodge-Cooke City road, but
the benefits gained by the actual termination and
reality of this road are small compared with that
which may be accomplished if we as taxpayers and
citizens all pull together all cooperate and give our
undivided support and enthusiasm to the things
that can bring about more benefits and reap more
profits
Just Southwest of Red Lodge lie the largest
chrome deposits in North America, an industry
we'll to be enved if can bring about the develop
ment Of this rich ore deposit. In order to bring
about this development WE MUST HAVE GAS,
we must have the most economical method to bring
forth this production that will give more employ
ment to Red Lodge than it has heretofore known.
The building of the distribution system for gas
will employ more Red Lodge men than have been
employed for many years past. This is further rea-
son why we should vote YES on this question June
%.
The granting of this franchise will not cost the
taxpayers one cent and no one need have it install
ed in their homes unless it is their desire to do So
Therefore we should not deny the right to those who
might want to use it in their home.
Help your home town by voting for this fran
chse which will give modernization, which will give
employment, which will eventually lead to the de-
veopment of the chrome mines.
We have made good start to make Red Lodge
great CITY, Your faith your help, your support
is again needed to put across our next big job the
development of the chrome mines.
YOUR vote Of YES on June %, is vote Of con-
fidence; your vote of YES will help you and your
city.

CONTRACTORS LEAVE
FOR INSPECTION OF
COOKE CITY HIGHWAY

Five contractors, including three
from Oregon, one from Chicago
and one from Minneapolis are now
at the base camp of the Cook City
road, and thirteen more are expec-
ted to arrive in Red Lodge today.
A party of approximately 35 will
leave this afternoon or tomorrow
to view the highway before bids
are submitted.
The inspection trip over the
route of the new road is expected
to take the palty approximately
five days, as they will be forced to
view the road either on horseback
or on foot. No automobiles will
be able to make the trip, accord
ing to reports from authorities
H. E. Mitchell, engineer of the
road, and representing the high
way commission, will lead the
party.
Sealed bids for the project will
be opened at Portland, Oregon, by
the district engineer of the Bur-
eau of Public Roads, Friday, June
&c.

COMMISSION ACTS
ON PROPOSED new
LIGHTING RATES

Mayor Edgar Allen this week
| received communication from
the Montana Public Service Com
mission informing him that the
Commission had approved Tariff
No. 4, submitted by the Northwes-
tern Improvement Company of
Red Lodge, including schedules
"a" to "G", inclusive, stating new
rates for electric service at Red
Lodge, and that the Commission
had dismissed without predjudice
to further investigation the Order
to Show Cause proceedings initia-
ted by the Commission against the
Northwestern Improvement Com
pany on May 10.
Prior to granting its approval
to the new rates, the Commission
caused rate study to be made, ar
plying for purposes of illustration
the preferred schedules of rates
against the actual consumption by
Red Lodge consumers during the
calendar year 1890.
Based upon last years consump-
ton, the new schedule "a, avail
able for residence and business
lighting, effects a reduction of ap-
proximately 10 per cent; schedule
CO., available for heating and
cooking, effects a reduction of ap-
proximately 13 per cent; schedule
"D", available for limited power,
approximately 16 2l3 per cent;
schedule "E", for general power,
about 8.7 per cent and schedule
"F'', for street lighting, approx
mately 1888 per cent. Schedule
"B" covers flat rate service, avail
able to one and two-room dwell
ings.
This schedule is approved tenn
porarily only to permit the utility
to gradually bring all service,
whether large or small, to a me-
tered basis. The average reduc-
ton in all classes is Approximately
1873 per cent.
Had the new rates been in eff
feet in 1880, and had the expenses
of operation been the same as they
were, the rate of return upon the
depreciation value of plant and
equipment, as determined from ALI
nual reports of the company or
file with the Commission, would
have been approximately 4 per
cent.
This schedule has been approved
only temporarily, and as the citi
zens of Red Lodge have not yet
been granted the privilege of being
heard on the matter, it is possible
that the rates may be lowered
again.

SEARCH FOR FARM
HAND ENDS; TELLS
OF. BLANK MEMORY

A two-day search for Paul Da-
Wis, 27-year-old farm hand whC
disappeared while enrout from the
F. L. Clark ranch, near Belfry, to
Big Timber, was ended Sunday
when Davis presented himself be-
fore the Sheriff of Sweet Grass
county, claiming that he did not
know where he had been for Ia
days of the time he had been away
from the Clark ranch.
Davis left the Clark ranch May
% with Lloyd Wilson. Both men
went to Belfry, where Davis left
his bedding roll and suitcase, anc
both men returned to Belfry tive
days later.
While Wilson remained in Bel
fry, according to reports reaching
the Sheriff's office, Davis left
there on May 80 and came to Red
Lodge, where he bought a ticket
w hotlSl.
Foul play was limited at by Vel
lowstone county officials when an
inspection of the records at. the
Union Station showed that Davis
baggage had not been re-checked
at Billings for a Big Timber train.
1t was thought that Davis left
Billings by car. A
Mrs. Davis, at Big Timber, was
not expecting her husband home
for some time and for more than
week had believed him to be still
at the Clark ranch.
Incidents relative to his leaving
the ranch, Davis claims, are hazy
in his mind, but he did remem-

Princeton Camp, a few miles
South of Red Lodge, is busting
with activity this week. Research
workers from Princeton and other
prominent American universities
are busy making preparations for
their summers work in the Bear
tooth mountains.
With the arrival of DR.. w. r.
Thorn, Jr., of the department of
Geology at Princeton university,
and his family, Sunday, prelimin-
airy work was thrown into full
swing. Students and professors
alike are busily hewing logs and
hammering boards to fashion ia
bles, workbenches and tools for
the summers work.
Three women, secretaries of the
expedition, are also busily engage
ed in the work of starting the ball
rolling.
Among the prominent scientists
who have arrived to date are DR..
Thorn, Professor Erling Dorf. pa
leobotanist, and J. S. Vhay, who
will do research work in handbook
geology. Vhay will probably work
with J. W. Peoples, who was work
ing on the saltwater last sum-
mer.
DR.. R. M. Field, chairman of the
Princeton department of Geology,
IS expected to arrive the latter
part of this week, and another
group of students will be in Red
Lodge before June 20, according
to members of the expedition.
Although the expedition will
use the camp of DR.. J. C. F. Sieg-
frledt, local amateur paleontolo-
glst, this summer, as temporary
base, preparations will be made
for the establishment of a per-
manent camp in this section in
