Elaborate Plans Well Under Way to Entertain
Host of Visitors On Independence Day, Peo
ple Everywhere Invited.
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.

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.
