NOTICE Copy for change of advertisiag stas be in this office by Tuesday evening to seelve the proper attention The Nltlosal DBL EXT Sunday will be Decoration Day. As time weare on this holiday has more and more signifi cance. It will perhaps be observed with greater solemnity this year than ever before. The old gray heads that took part in that historic struggle are becoming fewer and more vener able Their march to the graves of comrades has more of the sympathe tic as age comes on, and the time is not far distant when the last totter ing gray -headed veteran will march to the sepulchers of other heroes. There is much ado at the present time about government deficit, and the increase of the national debt. But this government could bond it self for many millions and assume an enormous debt, and in time pay it, but there is one debt that the nation can never repay and that is the debt of gratitude that the nation owes those brave boys who saved the na tion in its struggle from '61 to '65. The debt to the veterans of the Civil War is greater than the millions which this nation might want to pay. When we who are able to enjoy the fruits of that victory,won atsuch a tre menduous cost,contemplate the priva tion, suffering,cruelty and death caus ed in the civil conflict, we cannot as true Americans disregard our duty to those who still remain. It is al together fitting and proper that we should set apart from our busy life one day to be devoted to these brave men, and show our appreciation by aiding them in decorating the graves of their dead comrades. These Sidewalks. When railroads are built connect ing two competing districts, it often has the effect of uniting the districts and making them harmonious in their business relations. But did any one ever contemplate that a sidewalk would have the same desirable effect? That appears to be the situation in Harlowton. For some time it has been a matter of common knowledge that there has been a business rival ry in Harlowton, between two sec tions of town. This fact is not pecu liar to Harlowton, because there are few towns anywhere that do not have a local struggle. It appears to be the eternal fitness of things. Har lowton however has the proud claim to the fact that whenever any pro ject comes up that affects the inter ests of the town as a whole, the citi zens are one and all united and stand together. The sidewalks just being laid, will according to the opinion of a great many,have the desired effect of bring ing both ends of town in closer touch with each other and eliminating much of the sharp competition. This effect is desired by all conservative and fair-minded business men. It is not a healthy state of business to be constantly quarreling, and no town will thrive under such a condition. Competition is the life of trade, but keen rivalry rings the death knell of trade. If the walks will partially put an end to the competition existing here they will be worth five times their value to the town. We shall watch results and hope for the best.. Ca, They Tarn the Trick. FOR several years the woman suf frage movement has agitated England in a manner that has at tracted world wide attention. Now the movement has struck New York where many American reforms orig inate. It is just possible that in a few years woman suffrage will prevail in many states. The present agitation in New York is significant. Several thousand suf fragettes have started out on a cam paign to obtain 1,000,000 signatures to a petition to Congress for the enfran chisement of women as a special cele bration of the nintieth birthday of Julia Ward Howe which occured yes terday. Many prominent women are connected with the movement. Mrs. Clarence Mackay has rented a theater for special performances twice a month, at which time meetings will be held to win new recruits to the caase. Gentlemen it begins to look as though it were coming to us. Senator McCumber puts some wis dom into his argument in favor of his amendment providing for lumber to be placed on the free list. The American forests are being rapidly depleted. That tact cannot be con traverted. It is the policy of states manphip to encourage the importa tion of lumber for the protection of our supply. Senator McCumber an nounced this theory many times in his campaign 'speeches last fall, and his receut addresses in the Senate show the Senator's great characteris tic, consistency. The death of H. H. Rogers, presi dent of the Amalgamated Copper Company, and active head of the Standard Oil company, ends the life of one of the world's greatest cap tains of industry. He was largely in terested in Montana. The name and fame of Montana as a treasure state is due in a large measure to the ac tivity and fertile brain of such men as H. H. Rogers, It Actually Can Be Bone. During the past 20 years I hiave an nually cultivated from 50 to 300 acres of land in Cascade county, depending wholly on the natural moisture, and from my indifferent methods of farm Ing I have learned that the possibili ties of farming on the rich, mellow lands of northern Montana are al most without limit. During this time I have never failed to grow on summer-fallowed land in the driest years we have had in all this time, a crop of wheat considerably larger than the average wheat crop of Min nesota or North Dakota. I regret that I did not sooner ascertain by practical tests the advantages that can be derived from growing alfalfa without irrigation. For, while this wonderful plant. possesses a value un equalled for forage purposes, thus opening the broadest field for dairy interest here, it will, 'in my opinion, through its fertilizing properties, place the agriculture of the west on a more profitable and ei.during basis than it could otherwise occupy. Farming without an irrigating ditch, In Montana, would have been much father advanced but for the deter mined efforts of many persons to de cry it, thus turning immigration to other parts of the far west. These persons, for the time, have also done much to retard an advance in land values, and especially the value of productive but non-irrigated farms. But the tide of western immigration is ceaseless and, in spite of opposition where the hand of welcome should be given it will cover all the west.-By Baris Gibson, U. S. Senator, Mont. Base Ball Talk. No game,withLewistown postponed on account of rain. Roy Cramer is in town now,and may help to do some of the backstop work during the season. Ben Hines played around the ini tial sack for the bridge builders, pick ed out a hit that resulted in a run. Cooper started in to do the slab work Sunday and aside from passing a man who died on the bases, his work was alright. The shortstop for the bridge build ers made some pretty stops in the game Tuesday evening, but failed to make a clean throw to first. Captain Stevens fills in behind the breast procector when the regular is not around, and nabs them as though he were accustomed to his jcb. Twitchell the new twirler who has round employment with the railroad company has not been out yet, but expects to display his arm before the week is out. In Tuesday evening's game Short stop Cooper made a pretty throw from center to catch at the plate after he had made a long drive that looked good for the entire circuit. On two different occasions the game at Lewistown has been postponed on account of rain. Some of the fans have suggested that the game be pulled off here instead, and perhaps the rain god will be good. The boys called the bluff of the bridge team Sunday and got out in uniform. There was only one inning played, but it was enough to show how things would go if the rain hadn't prevented. The visitors were blanked in their turn at the stick. Harlowton put one run over, had three men on bases and one out when the wetness put a "quietus" on the "doin's". Notice.
