ntnutK rounu ur.An ON MOUNTAIN SIDE County Comer H. H, Trent was called to Ringling last Sunday to view the remains of James Kivett who died on the range while herding sheep for Crowley brothers. He made the trip, leaving Sunday on Number three, arriving at Ringling early Mon day morning. He went by auto to the Crowley Bros. ranch and from there to the herders camp. The body was found lying out in the hills where Kivett had evidently fallen from exhaustion and died. There had been considerable snow, so much that the body was covered state of preservation. An examina - and partially frozen, and in a good tion by Corner Trent found no wounds of any kind upon the body. An ex amination of the stomach revealed it to be empty and indicated that Kiv ett had not eaten anything for several days. Coroner Trent concluded no in quest was necessary, that the man had come to his death through lack of food and dissipation. Kivett was about 65 years old, and had been working for Crowley Bros, for five years. He has been a most faithful worker during the entire time. Nothing is known of his fam ily, although it is known he came to this country from Ireland and that re latives live there. A search of his clothing and personal effects failed to bring to light any letters or other information as to where his people five in Ireland. About three weeks ago Kivett drew $400 of his savings from Crowley j money was spent. He went out to take charge of a band of. sheçp about 15 miles from Ringling, and was there for ten days alone.

Osborn de picted the foundation of this nation, its growth and development upon and through the one ideal of manhood and patriotic affection. Rev. Osborn sketched the landing of the Pilgrims, the ideal they car ried of religious freedom, the May flower compact of New England Gen eration, and the Declaration of In dependence. He traced this ideal through the various vicissitudes and hardships of a growing nation, to the time of the Civil War. He pict ured the Grand Army of the Repub lic as the living expression of this ideal. For the purpose of honoring these men, both living and dead, he stated, Decoration Day has been ob served for more than 50 years. To day the few remaining living of that great army are reverenced and hon ored by th-) whole people of the tion. ' • ; : •V na To the Spanish-American War vet erans and to the American Legion rests the task of continuing to sup port and perpetuate this great ideal; to maintain the nation that was es tablished and which was preserved by the Grand Army of the Republic. Rev. Osborn pointed the way for those of today in a most forceful manner. ■» KIWANIS CLUB. * (Continued from Page One.) through the damage done by these pests.

Wilton as chairman of the committee on construction -, of the Seventh avenue road reported the progress made. He stated there was a problem before the committee at this time to be solved in that it will be necessary to secure, a 12 feet right of way over the route fromi which to secure sufficient dirt to make a grade with proper surface width. The federal aid is aéstired Mr. Wilton stated, but it will be neces sary to secure the additional width to the roadway before the cohstruc ' tion can be put under way. District Engineer Rader of the highway com mission gave an outline, of the con ditions and explained the heed of a high grade along, the thoroughfare which requires the additional width of right of way. • ' r ' G. A. R. ENTERtAiNED. (Continued from Page One.) War. He called upon Rev. A. L. Chapman, who made the address of welcome. Rev. Chapman made a most impressive talk, in which he expressed to the veterans the venerance and honor felt by everyone for them. He spoke briefly of the struggle between the Federal and Confderate armies, each fighting for what was believed to be the right. Passing over the struggle re-uniting of the states after the war, Rev. Chapman then outlined the prog ress that had been made by the na tion in the following years; of the cementing together of the North and South displayed in the Spanish-Am erican war. He. pictured how there had today grown a feeling of pride in every citizen for this country greater than that held by any other nation, which was displayed in the great army formed »from every state in the nation at the calling for troops in the World War. Kev. Chapman paid a great tribute to those soldiers, who fought for their country in the days of '61 to '65. R. A. Nunnelly responded for the veterans in a happy manner. He told of the pleasure enjoyed by the old soldiers at being guests of the Ro tary Club, and how much they appre ciated being with them. Re also stated that the Rotary Club was the first organization of any kind ip Bozeman to entertain them. During all the years the post has been ip ex istence here, Mr. Nunnelly stated, the members had never before had the plasure of such an occasion. During the talk given by Mr. Nun- . nelly, h e told of a few of his experi ences during the war. These were listened to with great interest by those present. Some of the incidents referrd to by him were humorous, but most of them brought clearly to the minds of his hearers the horfors of war as it wa^ experienced in those terrible days when'men fought for th e life of the nation. When Mr. Nunnelly suggested he had talked long enough, the members of the Ro tary Club told him to go on. "Tell some more," was the answer. He told of many days on forced march without food or water, with barely clothing enough to cover the naked ness of the troops; of days and nights without sleep. Th e talk was heard with the utmost attention. The program committee had ar ranged for several numbers J>y the male quartet, composed of; Messrs. Jensen, Westlake, Copping and Young. Mrs. W. N. Purdy played accompaniment for them, FVed Hoell sang two solos, accompanied by Miss [ Janet MacDonald. Mis# MacDonald also played several selections upon the piano during the time the mem bers and guests were at the table.

In some sections the supply of skilled labor is scarcely equal to the demand, though there is still a large amount of unskilled labor out of employment. Highway improvement is proceed ing at a rate which must soon tax the facilities of highway contractors and the people who supply road-building equipment. With the certainty that the country has entered upon an era of highway building of which as yet have seen only Ühe beginning, there is a vast volume of business ahead for highway workers. The demand for pig iron, long dor-' mant to 1 such an extent that the in dustry' seemed almost dead, is ini-1 creasing, and the advance in steel and pig iron has not lessened the demand for these materials. Indeed, people always buy oh a rising market and cease to buy on a declining market, No sooner had the country come to a full realization of the fact announced many month? ago by the Manfac ru Railroads ax*e ordering material to a greater extent than for a good many years.
