! BY Rev. Charles Rhodes, pastor M. E. Church.

Easter the greatest festival of the Christian year,
celebrates the glorious truth "Christ is Risen''
E. Stanley Jones says: cit is wonderful to have
world with an Easter morning in it's history Suppose there
had been nome and that the Unverses last word had been
Cross instead of Easter morning. then that Cross
the of would have been for tortured with the
Son Of Man.
"But nowis Christ risen from the dead". The Resur.
recon bears witness to the truth of His caims His Mis-
sion is aested His triumph is sealed He is not only the
fument of the Messanc prophecies the King Of Israeli
but He is the "Desire of all Nations''
What difference His resurrection made! It trans
formed covering band of disciples into the nucleus of
Universal Church It gave the world beginning;
''Behold, make all things new.''
Countless individual lives have been transformed.

What does Easter mean to us? It should be not mere

THROOP ELECTED.
CLUB PRESIDENT

George Throop was elected pre-
sident of the Red Lodge Rod and
Gun club at a meeting of the Or
ganizatiorlT I'M the Elkss lodge
rooms here Sunday: He succeeds H.
C. Olcott.
Bill Curran was named vice pre-
sident to succeed Harry Burnham,
Leo Spogen was elected secretary
to succeed M: H. Mann, and Joe
Bailey was reelected treasurer.
Most of the meeting was spent
taking up ways and means of
planting fish in the Beartooth pla-
teau area. It was pointed out that
comparative inaccessibility of many
of the lakes requires more ex-
penditure than is normally need
ed for close-in waters, the rent
ing of pack horses for expeditions
being a big item. It was decided to
ask cities and towns in this area to
aid in financing the project this
year. Every year the visiting fish
ermen are penetrating further in
to the wilderness from the Red
Lodge-Cooke City highway in
search of the large fish, it was
pointed out. Much of the stocking
will be in these out-of-way places.
A resolution asking the Mon
tana State Fish and Game Com
mission to reopen the He'll Roaring
lakes for fishing this year was
passed at the meeting. The lakes
have been closed the past season!
Committees appointed were:
Membership-Harry Burnham,
chairman, Archie Showerman,
Steve Kotar, George Kaho, John
Simpson and Vic Kotar.

tion to satisfy many special haul
ing needs.
Mr.. Olcott also stated that much
was said at the meeting about In
ternational Harvester's expansion
of research, engineering labora-
tory, manufacturing, and proving
ground facilities. The two big
truck works in Fort Wayne, Indi-
ana, and Springfield, Ohio, were
enlarged by addition of new build

equipment. At Fort Wayne an
axle manufacturing unit with 1885,

ufactured, new buildings totaling
more than 100000 square feet of
floor space were erected. These in
clude a new assembly unit, one Of
the most modern in the automo-
tive industry. There are three par
allel assembly lines, each almost
200 feet long. Other new build
ings provide greatly increased cab,

For Subscribers
To End Saturday

With steady stream of sets
moving out daily to readers of the
Carbon Co. News indications are
that more than 900 sets will have
been placed in homes of subscrib-
ers by Saturday night, closing date
of this premium offer.
The premium, a handsome and
durable fountain pen and pencil
set, has proven more popular than
the fondest expectations of this
newspaper when the campaign was
inaugurated. While it was realized
that it was a worthwhile premium
being offered, the best one with an
universal appeal that could be
found, this office hardly figured
that the number of sets placed
would he so far up into the hum
dreds.
However, as the sets went out
and were put into daily use they
helped to advertise the offer. Sub
scribers told their neighbors about
the splendid premium and there
was a steady increase daily in the
number of subscriptions. It is safe
to estimate that Friday and Satur-
day, the final days, will add many
sets to the total number given a.
way.
AS stated, this offer. positively
ends Saturday Of this week. All
who wish to take advantage of it
must act Immediately. Subscribers
at a distance can mail their orders
before midnight Saturday and be
in time. Those desiring sets mailed
to them are requested to add five
cents for postage.
The big thing and the main thing
is to pay your subscription at once
and receive one of these sets. You
will thank us for making this final
reminder of the offer.

ness and attractiveness are con-
cerned, a vigorous campaign of the
Northern Pacific Railway to ad-
vertise the new Red Lodge High
way entrance to Yellowstone Park
is a 12-page, highly embossed book
let describing in picture and story
this spectacular new route which

nestled in the Rock Creek valley;
of Island Lake, of Silver Run
plateau, an amazing switchback
scene, Cooke City, Beartooth Lake
and Butte, Horseshoe and Mae
West curves, and many others, out
standing for original and startling
photography.
Excerpts from the description:
"It is road that taps the dim
night of time. For miles it winds
where prehistoric dinosauria used
ito tread; overlooks the Bear Greek
mines whose coal deposits were laid
down Ct million years ago; trav-
eres Rock Creek Canyon rich in de-
posits such as give stainless shine
to the kitchen stove.
"Formerlv built spectacular ap-
proaches to the Yellowstone "holy
of holes" have followed the ready
made paths of writhing mountain
rivers. New for variety and con-
trast the new Red Lodge Highway
audaciously scales the mountain
barrier. 1t is something new in Vel
lewsone Park travel and prominent
travellers have even called it one
of the "show roads" of the coun-
try.

To Appoint in Water
Commissioner At
A Gathering Soon

There will be no commissioner
appointed for users of Rock Creek
water until general open meeting
is held, Judge Ben .Harwood told
interested parties in district court
here Tuesday.
Prompted by the number of
ranchers who have come to- Red
Lodge every court day under the
belief commissioner would be ap-
pointed, Harwood held an informal
session Tuesday in which he told
them he regretted the ranchers
used gas and oil and time" to come
to Red Lodge for the futile pur-
pose.
ut is inefficient and improper
for ranchers to bring their charges
and counter-charges to me or to
Judge Guy Derry" he said. "There
is a proper and legal path to fol-
low to obtain a hearing. There will
be no commissioner appointed un-
til the water users, representatives
of the state water conservation
board and your district judges get
together in an open hearing"
Harwood explained that the date
of the meeting, heretofore held up
by political changes and complica-
tions, should be determined this
week. -.
He stated that a temporary
commissioner has been appointed
to make cursory survey of water
boxes and measuring instruments
so that recommendations can be
made at the opening meeting. j..
HarWood pointed out that he is
with Guy Derry, the other
Judge of the 18th district, in the
matter, inasmuch as Harwood and
Derry change off every year in
Carbon's judicial matters.
Their decision in the Rock Creek
matter will be made jointly. \.
