WIlL EXHIBIT
AT RED LODGE
Local Poultry Association Will Stim
ulate Interest by Show In
Carbon County.
PRIZE LIST IS READY
Yellowstone Poultry Show, which Will
Be Held During Dry Farming Con
gress, Attracts Attention and Many
Exhibits.
In order to stimulate interest in
the first annual show of the Yellow
stone Poultry association which will
be held in this city during the week
of the Dry Farming congress, the
leading members of the association
have decided to exhibit their choicest
birds at the Carbon county fair which
is to be held in Red Lodge October
11, 12 and 13; and at the same time
to widely herald the fact that the
same birds and many others will be
on exhibition at the Yellowstone
Chicken show a few weeks later in
Billings. The officers of the Carbon
county show have declared that they
will be glad to have the local chick
ens exhibited at Red Lodge, and will
provide ample space for the cages. The
Yellowstone county chickens will, of
course, not be entered for any of the
prizes, most of which are offered for
Carbon county chickens only, but the
presence of the exhibit cannot but at
tract attention to the Yellowstone as
sociation and its coming chicken
show.
During the next month B. F. Green
ough, one of the boosters of the Yel
lowstone Poultry association, will
spend the greater part of his time
traveling throughout the eastern part
of the state in an attempt to arouse
interest in the coming show. The en
tries are open to all comers, and the
local association, which has a mem
bership by no means confined to this
city and its immediate vicinity, wants
every blooded chicken in this state to
be present at the show. The prize list
for the show is now complete and in
the hands of the printer, and will be
ready for general distribution in a
few days. It includes premiums valued
at several thousand dollars and many
fine trophy cups which will be of
fered for the best displays of different
breeds of chickens.

LAUREL COUNCILMEN
TURN DOWN PAPER
Petition for Removal of House of Ill
Fame Is Tabled by Mayor
Westbrook.
At the meeting of the town council
of Laurel held Tuesday evening, a
petition presented by a goodly dele
gation of Laurel citizens asking that
the council take some immediate
steps toward the removal of a house
of ill fame which has recently been
established in Laurel, was placed on
the table by Mayor Westbrook. In
speaking of the matter M. D. Young,
a real estate dealer of Laurel who
was in the city on business yesterday,
said:
"The majority of the people of Lau
rel do not feel that they received A
square deal at the hands of the coun
cil. The petition was signed by over
200 citizens and taxpayers of the
town, and there were from 40 to 50 of
the signers of the paper present at
the meeting. Attorney Price present
ed the petition before the council,
Rev. Drumwright of the Baptist
church told in a few words where the
people he represented stood on the
proposition, and Mayor Westbrook,
without so much as putting the con
sideration of the petition before the
councilmen, of his own right as head
of the body laid the petition on the
table.
"The mayor's action has by no
means put a stop to the work against
the house of ill fame, however, and
has but added strength to the move
ment. We will now resort to town
and state laws."
YEE SAM LEE WILL
CLEAN HIS ALLEY
Chinaman Is Brought Before the Court
and Fined for Failure to
Remove Filth.
From Thursday's Daily.
The city campaign for cleanliness
in the streets and alleys has reached
the place where those not inclined to
obey the municipal orders are being
brought into court as a gentle remind
er that there is a power behind the
movement. Yesterday Street Commis
sioner Bryan, the guardian of Bill
ings' "white wings," caused the ar
rest of Lee Sam Lee, a well to do
Chinaman who owns property on
Twenty-seventh street south and
against whom several complaints have
been made. Lee was charged with
leaving his place in such a condition
that it was a nuisance, and was fined
$10 as well as made to offer assur
ance that the objectionable filth would
be removed at once.
The city officials say that they trust
such drastic measures as were used
with the Celestial will not be neces
sary with other residents and prop
erty holders of the city, but that it
will be well to avoid all chances of
appearing before the bar of justice by
making a thorough cleanup at once.
making a thorough cleanup at once.
