School Is Now ou tgh Accrditei
List of Mountan Schools F
Professor Johnson has just re
ceived a lett< r from State Superin
tendent Davee that the State
Board of Education, at its meeting
on December 22nd, placed the
Harlowton High School on the ae~
credited list.
This means that students, from
.the Harlowtonhigh can, .upon the
proper showing of credits, enter
any state institution of higher ed
ucation without further .xamnina
tion. _ This move.should be instru
mental. in. working up a mulch
greater interest in the school, bothb
on the part of the students and the
patrons of the school and also ii
crease class interest.
Harlowton already has .great
°reason to be proud of its highb
school and with this added adlvan
tage it will no doubt become the
center of much more interest in
other parts of the county.

AT M. E. CHURCH
Under Auspices of Local Odd Fellows
Who Promise Us a Most
Interesting Talk,
Rev. J. E, Parker, of Bozeman,
Grand Chaplain of the" Odd: Fel
lows of Montana, will again speak
here on January 22nd at the Meth
odist church.
Reverend Parker addressed a
Harlowton audience at the Presby
terian church in October, but the
evening being Saturday, he was
not greeted with as large an audi
ence as he deserved. Reverend
Parker is a fine speaker and those
attending this meeting. will be
well rewarded for their effort.
Reverend Parker is a wit and
will entertain you in a high class
manner, at the same time giving
you many interesting facts about
Odd Fellowship.
O'Hanlon-Giles
J. F. O'Harnon, a popular con
ductor on the Milwaukee and Miss
Rits Belle Giles, of Seattle, were
married on January 8th, at Saint
Patrick's church in Butte, Rev
erend Ready, of Rarlowton, officia
ting.
The newly wedded couple ar
Irived in Harlowtou last Saturday
and will make this place their
home for the present.
. Mr. O'Hanlon was for three years
connected withthe Order of Rail
way Conductors, to which he says
v he gave three years of his life, but)
a' solie ofh :is f ellow lodge men tay

It has its surplus fund up to the
required amount of tworityfl' iv
percent of its capital. The undi
vided profits were allowed to rec
main, there being the sum of #2,000
in that fund.
Under the new currency law the
bank's future is indeed very bright
as that law will allow national
banks to loan money on real estate
i up to ffteen per cent of their capi
tal and surplus. This will greatly...
enlarge the scope of national banks,
fields of action and allow them to
be of much more assistance in the
development of their local business,
contemporaries.
Mr. Marrs says in his estimation
the new law is one of the best that
could be devised as it will insure
the safety of national banking for
both the banks and the public and
also eliminates panics in national
banking. The First National of
E Harlowton at its recent meeting
passed resolutions to join the re.

It is rumored, and. on excellent
authority, that Superintendet,
Spencer is to make his headqucr
ters at Harlowton. This means thit.'' ,
the dispatchers wil, .probably be,.,
moved here also. It.is further rin
mored that certain parcels of land
on the flat belonging to the Milwau
kee have been taken off the mar.
ket, presumnably because it is need ":
ed for extensive additions to 1heo
yardage and trackage at this divis
ion.
While these statements are based.
on rumor and may not come 'to
pass, it is firmly believed by maiy.y
sound business men that they have``
some semblance of truth and that
Harlowton is going to become a:
much greater railroad center thian
it is at present. .
