BIG HORN COUNTY,
JUBILEE 10 BE SEPT. 81

will record their best year and
our agricultural people will in
black figures, account for the
largest income from the ranch
and livestock business ever ex-
perienced.
The present conditions are not
boom ones. They are going to
continue with the real progress
yet to follow. We are definitely
on the road to a bigger and better
community.
This county is the talked of
and praised one of the state. It
has been brought about by the
vision and cooperation Of its
people. It's continued progress and
success depends on a continued
vision and the full cooperation
of its people.
On September 9Th and 7th we
r going to celebrate and COM
memorate our 1887 achievements.
It's going to be the biggest two
days Big Horn county citizens
have ever seen.
A most inspiring and enter
tanning program is in waiting and
will be announced on August
29th. through the special Big
Horn county edition of the Bill
lings Gazette, the Hardin Trib-
nne-Herald- and other mediums
two gala days for Big Horn county
that you cannot afford to miss.

will Truly Be . Celebration
Progress Made During
Past Year.

Big Horn county is witnessing,
during 1887, the greatest change
it ever has seen OF probably ever
will SEE in any one year, In escess
of 500 men have been trekking to
the Holly sugar factory for
months, resulting in a handsome
pay roll coming into the COM
munity and the erection of, a
plant which will mean much to
the building up of the resources
of the county.
The court house has, after a
years work, taken on a stately
air. The new school buildings will
add a needed improvement and
furnish much labor during the
fall and winter months. The proc
essing of our beet crop will re-
quire three eight-hour crews
daily at the factory for a con-
siderable length of time. Con-
struction work on the Lodge
Grass-Little Horn dam will con-
tinue over a years time.
The number of dwelling houses
in Hardin are inadequate to
house the. people-the hotels are
unable to accommodate all their
guests-our theatre enjoys capaci-
ty audiences-our business people

Has :
2o42 People
In City Proper and Two Additions
According to the Census
Just COMPLETED.

The census enumerators named
by the Hardin city council, last
week, to take a population census
of the city of Hardin, completed
the task Wednesday. The enumer-
ators were Misses Naomi Cool and
Pauline Kleinhesselink, MesdameS
Earl Marsh and Murche Sullivan
and Ira T. Smith, former chief of
police of Hardin.
The list of names, sex, age, oc-
cupation and residence of each
resident Of the city is now on
L, Bulls. The population of the
city proper and its two additions
was found to be 2,O42-1,788 IN
the city of Hardin proper; 1873 in
the Custer Park addition and lie
in the East addition, that section
abutting the city on the east,
These figures show that Hardin
has been growing steadily the
past few years. The government
census taken in June, 1880 show
ed a population of 1859, which
was 143 less than the census cf
1920, when the population was
1912, the loss in population dur
ing that period being due to the
depression which prevailed during
the last half of that decade.
The census was taken at this
time that the citv might be able
to give accurate data as to popula-
ton for use in the campaign for
a federal ~postoffice building at
Hardin and the bringing about of
the establishment of a free mail
delivery system. On Tuesday the
lower house of congress passed
the deficiency appropriation bill
which carries an appropriation Of
$4,000 for the construction of a
postoffice building at Hardin, and
the completion of the census Of
the city, showing more than 1000
people within the delivery of the
nostoffice will undoubtedly mean
that Hardin will soon have
another salaried person on the
federal payroll.
The Safeway Employees associa-
ton of the Billings district, en-
bracing the stores of eastern
Montana and northern Wyoming
will hold a meeting at Red Lodge
next Sunday. Hardin's delegation
will include Manager E. C.. Kuehn
and the various clerks and their
ladies', about a dozen in all.

quantities of gold and that placer
mining operations will either bear
out n disprove his appraisal If

head elk herd, the state game
commission, meeting at Lewis
town, August 9Th, set a two
month period when elk of either
sex may be killed. The open
season on F1athead elk is from

A trip of IA wild life authori-
ties Investigated the Flathead elk
herd and. the South Fork country,
and decided that the herd should
be reduced and that an extended
open season would make unneces-
sary further activities to reduce
it in number or extend its graz
ing range. BY opening the season

deep SHOWS that frequently come
and close the passes leading to

BEGIN PLACER MINING
IN CANYON SHORTLY

"There is no question but what
the canyon has substantial gold
deposits" Colonel Harrington
said. How much there Is, no one
can tell but the tests we have
made are highly encouraging.
am not much Of a prophet and II
does not ~ay to get too enthusiast
tic, but I regard the Big Horn
canyon as an excellent prospect
with an excellent chance for sue
cess. We plan to begin placer OPP
erations at the lower end OF the
channel where it is easily aces
sible and the water Is low. Should
placer operations uncover the
gold we expect, consideration will
be given to the installation OF
dredging equipment.
|The Big Horn canyon presents
q peculiarly large and difficult
field of gold exploration and will
present many unusual problems
but If high surface values are &C
indication of what lies beneath, 1t
will be worth the time and money
expended. The lowest test that ]
have made shows IL cents a cubic
ydIO d1VO UAAo wac OAAAy " SoAAAFAS
test. -
IAN unusual point about thu
samples thus far taken is that
,hev show grains Of almost pure
gold, something seldom encoun-
tered in the mining of this
precious metal"
Colonel Harrington said that
should the Big Horn canyon live
I'D to expectations, the field will
be capable of production fer
years to come. He is Of the opin-
ion that this part Of Montana
and Wyoming have yet to realize
upon gold possibilities.
Colonel Harrington heads 2
company that has constructed
bridges in many parts of the
world. He has supervised the
bridging of the Mississippi, Ohio
and Missouri rivers several times
The company has also built
bridges in Russia, Canada, Japar,
Manchuria, New Zealand and
other parts of the world.

Billings Nine
Here Sunday
Will Play Return Baseball Game
Locals Lost at Forsyth FL.
ZuluS Saturday.

Baseball fans will be given two
treats this weekend. On Satur-
day at 6 p. M, the Zulu Giant
Cannibal team play a twilight
game with the local nine on the
Hardin diamond at the fair
grounds. The Zulus play in grass
skirts and are noted for their
comedy antics, at the same time
being a good baseball club.
Sunday, at 2:30 D.. M. the locals
play a rejuvenated Billings club.
A good game is in store for Har-
din fans as Billings was defeated
bv the locals at Billings, early in
June, and they say. lit can't be
done twice the same year.
Last Sunday Hardin played
Forsyth at the Rosebud county
metropolis, losing 2 to 1. It was a
hard game to lose, as Jim Cum
Minis only allowed five hits, tae
same as did Cooper of Forsyth.
Hardin fans will see a return
game with the Lcs7er Yellowstone
league team either Sept. 5 or 7.
Cummins will pitch the Sunday
game and Collier, Curry, Labbitt,
or Ray Buzzetti will throw Sat-
urday evening.
All fans are urged to atterd
both games. as the Hardin team
has only one more home game
that during the Big Horn County
Jubilee celebration-with either
Fort Mackenzie or Forsyth.
NOTE: Hardin was handicapped
at Forsyth because v. I. Morris
forgot to tell his wife to pack his
baseball shoes and Carl Sloan
forgot his ~sweatshirt, the only
alibi,s Hardin has to offer for
the loss.
Just before the Tribune-Heraid
was going to press, Manager Ray
Buzzetti received the following
wire from the African Zulu
Giants at Calgary, Canada: Cant
leave injured player. Mailed more
posters, new date. Will play
Thursday, Aug. &c."

At Billings.

Saturday forenoon a committee
comprising Mayor w. A. Ransier
of the City of Hardin, Commits
sioner B. H. McCarty and County
Surveyor c. A. Randall motored
to Billings and met with Montana
Highway Commissioner John
Wheeler and Division Engineer
Ephland and laid before them the
proposition of !oiling Crawford
avenue from Third street to the
new Holly sugar factory, a dis
lance of two miles, by the road, a
half mile of which lies within
the Hardin city limits.
The highway commission agreed
to send their surveyor to Hardin,
make a survey of the proposed
project to determine the cost and
report back to the Big Horn
county board of commissioners.
The surveyors were here last
Monday and their report is ex-
pected today.
It Is understood that the state
highway commission will furnish
all equipment for spreading the
oil and that the county and city
will have to bear the cost of the
road oil. There is a strong de-
mand for this improvement, as
this road is heavily travelled and
the housewives living within two
or three blocks on either side Of
Crawford avenue r complaining
bitterly of the dust entering their
homes.

How to Make Moonlight
Picture Told by Expert

To make a really good moonlight
picture takes only some experiment
ing and courage. Perch your cam
era on firm foundation-a stump,
for example-and level it straight
at the object you wish to photo
graph.
How about shooting the rising
moon? This picture should be ex-
posed for 10 minutes. You should
be sure that no one crosses your
lens during this time.
Naturally enough, according to a
writer in the Washington Star, the
film will show an oblong moon, since
the moon is not a very obliging
subject and will not stay still. But
a resourceful developer can paint a
tiny orange spot on the film and the
effect is the same blur of light that
the real moon shows.
And such a picture as this, better
than any taken in daylight, seems
almost to bring you the very smell
of the pines.

Clustering" Word Used
to Denote Real Quality

After the Romans left Britain.
coinage was in chaos for several
centuries, writes Alice H. Coutant
in the American Collector. Coins
were of all shapes and sizes. Quail
ity and weight of silver varied
greatly and the practice of clipping
coins, although punishable by death,
was common. Toward the middle
of the Thirteenth century, a number
of north German merchants came
to England and formed a guild in
London. They made their own coins
which soon became notable for hon
esty of weight and fine quality.
Called "Easterlings," probably be
cause of the geographical position
of the country where they originated
the term soon applied to their coins
as well. Then, by the end of the
century, it had been shortened to
sterling and this, derived from the
name given to the honest product
of honest men, became the accepted
term for the alloy which has been of
such a high standard in England for
more than 800 years.
Sterling silver is an alloy of 925
parts pure silver in 1000. This
standard, decreed by King Edward
l in the year 1900, has been adhered
to ever since, except for few years
when an even higher standard pre-
vailed. No other country holds such
a record.
