Dude Ranches
Bring Big Sums
Into Montana

Decision to form a Dude Ranch
erS' division of Montanans. Inc. the
state chamber of commerce. was
made during recent meeting in
Livingston of about 30 of Mon
tana's leading dude ranchers, accord
ing to William G. Ferguson, manager
of Montanans. Inc.
Mr. Ferguson stressed that in no
way would this new division of
Montanans, Inc, compete with the
present Dude Ranchers' Association
Instead, through building a strong
state group il is hoped TO strength
en- the national organization and to
show the value of cooperation
The primary reason for the meet
ing was to outline an advertising
program to bring Montana to ma
tional attention as a Dude Ranch
state. This program will tie in with
the present national advertising
campaign of Montanans. Inc. with
additional literature describing dude
ranches in the state. The dude
ranch advertising campaign for 1899
will include participation in travel
shows to be held in Chicago. De-
troit Cleveland and Philadelphia,
Montana'S exhibit at the San Fran
cisco worlds fair, contact men meet
ing travel and route clerks of all
the leading travel bureaus of the
United States, as well as other ac-
tivities designed to attract out-of-
state guests into Montana.
Besides the advertising program,
the meeting discussed the general
fish and game conditions in the state
as we'll as other matters of interest
to the dude rancher.
The average business man does
not realize the value of the dude
ranch to Montana business Fer
guson said. No actual figures have
been pubhcized, but conservative
estimates indicate that it brings at
least S2000000 into the state an
nually This income is. however,
only one side. In recent years be-
tween so and SO large Montana
ranches have been sold to eastern
speftsmen who because of a dude
ranch vacation. decided to invest in
the state
Contrary to popular opinion, the
dude ranch vacation is not ex-
pensive,' Ferguson continued. 1T
is, rather, one of the cheapest and
certainly the most healthful and en-
loyable one can take. Dude ranch
vacations seem to be considered by
some persons to be a rich mans
privilege Dude ranches may have
been in that category years ago, but
they certainly are not today. When
it is considered that the. cost at a
dude ranch includes everything but
personal effects, they are among the
cheapest of real outings

THE STARS AND STRIPES WERE
FLYING THERE.

My time had come; | answered the
bell;
| had passed the limit three score
and ten,
Arriving at my Heavenly home,
Like the multitude | was mo-
alone
And | gazed in awe as I stood there
For the glory of God was every
where.
And the Stars and Stripes were fly
ing there.
With the sign of the cross and my
Rosary,
| offered prayer to Ave Maria
Qathoua great soul who pleads fol
all, -
I know thou will grant my call
When Pilgrims come from every
where,
Keep the Stars and Stripes fly
ing there.
Those poor deluded souls who pirate
Of Utopia in some foreign state,
God give them visions of eternity.
The kind thy goodness gave to
me,
So they may repeat the story
At thy right hand Floats Old
Glory.

Juveniles Raid New
Books at Library

Monday noon at II o'clock sharp
the county library literally sWarmed
with children who had raced down
from school to get the new books
One hundred and fifty new Juvenile
books were on display at the Ii
braries in Libby, Eureka and Troy,
and by the end of the first open day
after Book Week there was hardly
new title to be found. Book Week
is very exciting but the day after
is even more SO.
The Book Week Poster Contest is
progressing nicely and a very good
collection is expected from both city
and rural schools. Announcement
of an exhibit of these posters will
be made after the contest closes on
December l. The fine cooperation
the library receives from the schools
is very encouraging
The Lindberghs are always
news and a new book by one of
them is welcomed by an interested
public. Anne Morrow Lindbergh
made such hit with her North

Listen! the Wind will be in de-
mand this winter. Although the
book includes all details Of inn
portanee about the plans, prepare
tons, manipulation of the radio,
and the actual plotting, this mar.
rative of the Lindbergh's flight
across the Atlantic ocean from Afri-
ca to Brazil in 1888 is an exciting
and lovely piece of writing Mrs.
Lindbergh has keen sence IF hui
NOR and her Word-picture of some
of their situations are clever pre-

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The fact that a great many people
still insist upon using No 2 high
way to walk upon instead of the
newly constructed sidewalks makes
us wonder as the fellow across
the street said habit is stronger
than will power -. At any rate we
think people should be encouraged
to use the sidewalk now that 1t IS
built -. as il IS very dangerous to
walk along street or highway
especially at night :.
This year lets take the advice of
Ed Boyes and buy tickets to the
Commercial Club fish and game
meeting when the solicitor comes
around :. il makes ii much easier
for those in charge. especially the
cooks Ed was telling us that last
year IS tickets We're sold in adj
vance so dinner was prepared for
that many when it care time to
eat there were liz people present
and there was great deal of
hustIing and bustIing done to fill
the extra hungry mouths . so
/. plan to go to this sportsman's
meeting and buy your tickets early.

says like this:
my wife (Jennie Orosky)

and absconded with my flute
piccolo, I am not responsible for

mama, please come home" he
says "absconded with my flute

He is mad clean through. He
wants his flute-piccolo.
How can a musician be musi

Kreisler fiddle without a violin?
Can Burns burp without a ba
