V. J. Bittner, a popular young
tailor from Butte, purchased the tail
oring business of J. Kolbe, opposite
the postoffice, Tuesday. Mr. Bittner
comes well recommended and he
guarantees satisfactory work. Mr.
Kolble, for the present at least, in
tends to do ranching.

A corporal who was down from .

that the elk are dying of starvation
in the Park, says a Livingston paper,
He says it is a pity hunters are not I
allowed to kill them, as there are
thousands of them in the national
playground.

There is a woman in town who is
going into the chicken manufacturing
business n quite an extensive scale.
The incubator will arrive in a few
days and the warm room, in which
the chicks will bathe in sunshine, has
already arrived. The room is about
three by four feet; with' windows on
two or three sides. The prospects
are that the supply of spring chick
ens in Bozeman will be very fair.
Judge Luce's opinion of the late
lamented, if not demented. Democrat
ic legislature is hardly above par.
For creating commissions so that a
Republican governor could make ap
pointments, he thinks they were
chumps. For failing to elect a Dem
ocratic senator he thinks they were
Altogether the
judge's remarks were not very com
plimentary. He has the consolation
that he is not alone in his opinions.
Two Appointments
Nelson Story was appointed a mem
ber of the board of education Thurs
day. The appointment of Mr. Story
to the important position by the gov
ernor will be received with a great
deal of satisfaction in Bozeman. The
board has the selection of the site
for the agricultural college, and Mr.
Story is well qualified to know where
it would be best to locate it.
It is also announced that Colonel
Chisholm has accepted an appoint
ment as a member of the state
World's fair board. The colonel is
competent gentleman and his services
on the World's fair board will doubt
less be valuable.

FORUM DEBATING SOCIETY
J. L. Pease Elected President of the '
Organization
The Forum Debating society held
another highly successful meeting last
Friday evening. There was no de
bate, an election of officers being in
order.
The election was quite a spirited af
fair, much interest being manifested.
J. L. Pease, a young man who has
won quite a local reputation as a
debater, was elected president of the
society. Other officers were chosen
as follows: Vice president. Miss Kate
Sheridan; secretary, Miss Jennie
Cowan; treasurer, E. V. Blankenship;
censor, T. H. McKee; assistant censer,
E. Thompson.
The society now has nearly 50
members and is possibly the best or
ganized society of its kind in the
state. The newly elected officers
are thoroughly capable and a large
increase in membership in the near
future is expected.
The publishers cf the paper are en
a positively that the Daily Chronicle
will suspend publication one week
from today,

It has been very clearly shown that
daily cannot be made to pay in a
town the si*« of Bozeman, or even
to pay expenses. It is stated that
the enterprise has been run at an av
erage loss of about $100 a week.
Mr. Yerkes is an editor of long ex
perience and Mr. Fell a phenomenal
hustler, and there has been no lack
of energy. It has not been a pleas
ant experience, but their experience
will doubtless be valuable to them in
the future, even if it has coat a con

not been possible to get business

of Boxemaa to justify its publication.
Mis. W. J. Beall received on* Mon
day from San Francisco the large
portrait of herself which is to be sent
with others from Gallatin and other
counties to form a picture gallery of
pioneer women of Montana in
state building at the Columbian ex
position. This feature of the state
exhibit will prove an interesting one
especially if in connection with the
portraits sketches cf the pioneer
women are published with statistics
of women's work in a pamphlet for
distribution among visitors. The idea
of the pamphlet, however, will have
to be given up if it is decided that
it comes under the head of advertis
ing matter, the distribution of which
has been prohibited on the exposition
grounds. Mrs. Beall's portrait is
considered an excellent likeness by
many friends who have seen it. The
workmanship is of a high quality and
the frame, a handsome olive green
and gold whose richness has no trace
of gaudiness in it, forms an appro
the
I
priate setting for it. The picture
measures 36 by 42 inches outside the
frame and will certainly be one of
the ornaments of the state building,

As Sutton approached, Burgess point

PROPOSED SALESV1LLE ELEC
TRIC UNE WILL PAY.
So Says W. H. Babcock, Who Has
Faith in Mr. Ogden's Plans—
Latter Will Go Ahead
Among the many Bozeman citizens
who take an interest in the proposed
electric railway to Salesrville, no one
is more enthusiastic than W. H. Bab
cock, and possibly no one has given
the subject more thought.
Mr. Babcock is of the opinion that
a lino to Salesville would pay hand
somely. The local freight, to say
nothing of the passenger traffic, he
thinks, would insure the success of
the line.
Four months of the year,'' he
said the other day, "it is almost im
possible to do any hauling. The road
would be used chiefly to carry grain.
There is almost no limit to the
amount. That part of the valley is
very productive. It is an immense
undertaking to bring the grain to
market. We raise 50 or 60 biushels
to the acre in many instances, and
the average is between 40 and 50—
twice what it is anywhere else.
Mr. Babcock is also of the opinion
that a line 20 miles north to Dry
Creek would also pay handsomely.
Flathead people who put their grain
in the elevator would, if they could
conveniently ship that grain to Boze
man, save a considerable amount of
money now paid for storing grain.
Manager H. M. Ogden says that
the farmers between Bozeman and
Salesville see the benefit they would
derive from the proposed line to the
latter place. He has received calls
from several large farmers, every'
one of whom would be willing to con
tribute liberally towards the building
of the line.
"I should expect the citizens of
Bozeman to purchase $20,000 worth
of stock in the company," said Mr.
Ogden. "Then I should want the
farmers to giv« $15,000 in cash, or
its equivalent, and expect them to
do the grading. 1 have carefully
figured up the cost of construction.
The whole plant! would cost about
$100,000. This estimate is a very ac
curate one. I pat the coat of con
struction of the road at $60,000, and
equipment at $40,000."
Mr. Ogden has now been given en
tire charge of the Gallatin Electric
and Street Railway plant. He will
soon be able to guarantee the peo
ple of Bozeman electric lights every
night- in the
made several large contracts for
lighting. He is poshing along the
people of whom his new engine has
been ordered, and says that if one
will not do, he has full authority to
buy toother.
Mr. Ogden is an energetic, pains
taking man, and he is bound to make
his company a financial success.

The inherent difficulties of obtain ing

The record of minor sports and in

Early in the year the-staff made
ananalysis cf the faults of the usual

effort has been put forth to eliminate
these defects and make the 1926 Ath
