Red Lodge will celebrate! After a canvass of the business men of town made a few days ago it was unani mously decided to celebrate the Nations Independence in grand style at Red Lodge. After a lapse of several years during which the town has not put out any special effort to cele brate it was decided to make up for lost time and put on a regular 'hummer.' A general invitation is extended to all the neighboring towns and coun try-side to join in the big celebration £t which all and every attraction will | be free. Several meetings have been held by business men and the de tails have been placed In the hands of committees made up of men who have the reputation of making things 'go' and while it is yet to early to g.ve out the programs for the day It is assured that this will be one of the biggest celebrations ever 'pulled off' in this section. It is pleasing to note the 100 per cent co-operation manifested by all in this undertaking, all the numerous unions, the miners, the carpenters, the barbers, the clerks, the cooks, the teamsters, and others have promised their entire support to make the cele bration a grand success. j Again we meet on the field of loyal ty to pay that final tribute of respect to those who shall never more hear the sound of fife and drum. In obser vance of the day which was originally the noble idea of Gen. John A Logan, a man who shared the sorrow* of ^ death, and the havoc* of war and whose beautiful impulse gradually gained a national}* recognition we now claim in perfect unison this day to be the American Sabbath. True there is no act by appeal of : tongue or mighty deed that can reach £ least we can trudge freedoms flaming path with the remaining few whose faltering step and tear dimmed eye command an impressionable ceremony of inspiring silence and homage. It is for us the living to harken to the unanswered bugule call, and bow our heads in humble respect for the fal len heroes whose biood so long ago mingled with the dust of tyranny and injustice has since been buried deep The celebration will include a Rodeo of no mean proportions, brass bands, races, ball games and all small sports, fire works galore and carnival danc ing. Plans are to arrange for a j special train to run from Laurel in ( the morning to return from here at mid-night to accomodate all those a long the line who will want to cele brate at Red Lodge. As soon as pos sible the entire program will be given out, but right now is the time to plan to celebrate with us, you will be en '.crt'i nrd every tnlnu'c and the treat will be .>n Red Lodge. AMERICA OBSERVES MEMORIAL DAY dim the luster of their devotion and dorv shall ween where valor eleen. beneath the firm sod of forgiveness and understanding. Then let us halt beside the mounds of our defenders and scatter o'er their graves garlands of roses and wreaths from the breath of a child, children who should be Uught to jealously guard their priceless inheritance of liberty and Christian citizenship. Remember that Time shall nerer forever cherishing the purpose tor | which the departed host of the shod owy blue ahd grey triumphed.

A ti rt , am> visioned, held and cherished by TO BE BUILT Columbus News Feature* Report That Cook City Line will be Built This Year. It never rains, but that it pours. On the heels of last week's cxhiler ng news that oil had been struck authentic information that within 90 days the first leg, or River Division men, covering more than a score of years, becoming a fixed reality, poten tial, powerful as a source of unsal able, profit and increased valuations for all Stillwater County. Last week a deal was closed where by Vincent R. Coon, of Detroit, repre senting the biggest surety companies In America, who had been interested in the project by the untiring efforts of the Ernster-Baker force, guaran teed to underwrite the $1,600,000 of bonds necessary to the first portion of the construction. And before he left he added that instead of f iking the 60 days demanded by his contract the money would be forthcoming and actual work constructed just as soon as certain conditions were fulfilled. About the only one of the provisions that is of local interest, I» that local business men and farmers unite and cooperate in giving or obtaining the right-of-way and terminal sites neces sary for the construction of the line. Due to the fact that this is an electric line, the necessary right of way is narrow, only 60 feet wide, and but lit tle trouble is anticipated in the obtain ance of same. The untold enhance ment in land values of having the rail» road on or close to the ranch; the con venience of the thing, end the ulti farmer along the line to immediately mate betterment of a market for his farm produce, should entice every come across with his share of the pro ject, that is the right-of-way. Natur ally some places are to be damaged by the road to an extent whereby to donate might be impossible, but there are not more than on# or two places along the line where this condition ex ists, and in these isolated cases the promoters will be found to be on the square. While the limit time for construc tion commencement is placed at 90 days, the work of obtaining the right of-way, and completing grade surveys will be hurried along, and in all proba bility the first of August will see the dirt flying. To the General Service & Engineer ing Corporation goes untold credit for putting over their project. For sev eral years Messrs. Ernstes and Barker have stuck faithfully to the job, spent lots of money and put in * good many hour* of real work in the face of skep ticism and ''knocking'' on the part of local people, the people who would benefit the most by the building of the road. The support of the home guard certainly would never have put the thing across; and we can partially make up for our inactivity heretofore by now getting into the harness and helping remove the tmiy honten that stud to the read, of imatediate work. The News has covered the project several times before, eo it is familiar to moat of our leaden, but we will again- briefly outline it.
