AS 1897 wearily slides into the
the limbo of years, people of Car
bon county turn their faces to
another: milestone of life with re-
vived hope, new courage and con-
fidence that the "worst has hap
pened". Things are sure to be bet
ter. Time Marches On!
And while 1887 brought it's
share of troubles, Of disasters and
losses, it also brought it's share
of pleasures, of successes, of joy
and of progress.
The fertile soil of Carbon coun-
tvs valleys and plains, nurtured
by the skillful hands of Carbon
county farmers, produced tidy
bit of wealth for all residents. The
same holds true throughout the
entire state of Montana where
agricultural crops for the year
were said to be worth $88, ,636, 900
according to Jay G. Diamond, fed
eral crop statistician. This is 8.6
per cent more than the 1886 value
of all agriculture.
Entering into a new cycle of life
always brings with it a spirit of
renewed confidence in ourselves
and in our fellow men. For this
reason New Years Day is hailed
with hilarious parties and gay
celebrations in every civilized coun-
try in the world. Old misfortunes
are forgotten as we face "a new
born year.
In Red Lodge at least two pub
lie dances, those sponsored by the
Elks and the Moose Drum and Bu-
gle corps will attract a large num-
ber of revelers while numerous
private "watch parties" are plan
ned.
In celebrating the first day of
the new year we are following al
custom that dates back to the very
dawn of civilization; for nearly all

DRIVE FOR Cop
CLUBS IN N STATE
SHOWS PROMISE
Effective Campaign Now
Displaying Result
In Montana

A quiet but@very effective move
ment that has been. under way
since shortly after the close of the
1888 campaign has resulted in the
organization of Republican Clubs
in a great many counties in the
state; and it is believed that early
in the coming year every county
will have such an organization.
The Club idea was adapted at
a meeting of Republicans at Hell
ena last February. Since that time
E. X. Cheadle, Jr. of Shelby, Chair
man of the Republican State Com
mittee, and G. r. Dawley of Great
Falls, have visited every district
in the state, assisting in the Or
ganization work. Everywhere they
found a response far beyond their
expectations.
Early last fall a meeting of Of
ficers of the clubs that have been
organized was held at Helena.
This was attended by representa-
tive party members from all parts
of the state-one coming from
Daniels County, a distance of
around 400 miles.
- At this meeting Mr.. Dawley was
chosen executive head of the Mon
tana Republican Club. Since his
selection, Mr.. Dawley has confer
ed with workers in nearly every
county in Montana. Recently he
opened state headquarters in Great
Falls. It is: planned to employ a
permanent secretary after the
first of the year, to assist in push
ing the organization work with re-
newed energy.
a.. Stated in the briefest forms, the
purpose of the organization is to
bring about greater party solid
arity through a medium that will
be expected to keep active all the |
year around. This, it, is confidently
believed, will prove far more eff
fective in realizing success in fu-
tIre campaigns than. a brief and
feyerish ttpush" for month or |
two before election time everyI
other year and then resting on
arms until another campaign comes
around.
This sort of an organization,
novel in Montana, but promoted
and sustained with complete sue
cess in several eastern states, will /
serve, it is hoped, as a supporting
body for the Republican State Cen
tral Committee during it's intense
campaign activities in the coming
and future years. It will also use
its best efforts in inviting and en-
couraging the candidacy of men
and women of proven party and
community standing to seek major
and minor offices. 1t will be a val
liable factor in comforting with and
executive committee heads
of the state centrol body in mat
ters of party policies, after can
and weighing the senti-
ments of the different local units.
The state has been divided into
twelve districts and in each dis
trict the president has or is about
to appoint vice presidents, men and
women, for each county land in
several of the counties executive
committees are being organized.
Membership is solicited on the
basis of minimum of one dollar
! year, ranging from that amount
upward. Those INTERESTED are be-
ing urged to assist local officers
oy voluntarily enrolling.
