Thursday evening Miss Beatrice Daugherty was ush- ered into j1tp ysteries of the ottOer in - 1 40K1' grandmother of the candidate and past worthy matron of one of the O.E.S. lodges of Minneapolis, presided over the initiation. At this meeting Miss Carrie Bachtle, Mrs. Chas Dousman and H.S. Josselyn were elected alternates to the grand chapter. Mesdames Geo. Daugherty, Bert Hitch and L.

Josselyn, in behalf of Charity Chapter, presented Dr. Roberts with a souvenir spoon. The Kaiser Issues an Order Has the Kaiser had a fit or is he beginning to see the light of day! During the latter days of last week he issued an order to the Germans in America to observe the laws of the United States. He gave every Teutonic consul in this country orders to aid in end- ing various alleged violations of neutrality and that all statutes must be strictly obeyed to the letter. By all preselt indications the ruler of Genitany has dis- covered that we are not trying to antagonize him but are try- ing to uphold international honor and laws and is now trying friendly relations as a balm for the work his sub- marines have been doing the past year or more. Roosevelt's popularity seems to be progressing rapidly and was at its height apparently at the Republican state conven- tion which was held in Iowa the other day. A man named Healey said that Roosevelt was the greatest man in the world and no sooner had made this remark than he was hissed and hooted from the stage. Similar actions from time to time in different parts of the nation show that Teddy is about as popular as a mouse at a spinster's convention and that same popularity is grow- ing stronger as time advances. One great evidence of the prosperity of this country is the way the various manufac- turing concerns have been in- creasing the wages of their employees. Surely the labor- ing man is entitled to more consideration than has been shown him in the past and it is hoped that the present good work will continue for years to come. Teddy and Ford had a meet- ing over in Michigan the other day. Look out for an- other peace party! Ford will be for peace while Teddy will try tokick him in the shins. Announcement With this issue of the Fallon County Times (formerly The Fallonite) I have taken charge of the newspaper, having pur- chased It from C.R. and Mable C. Fagaines. For the jegitl i zeitgatte , to de business in the prese lion and as nearly as posiittleL under the same generaly pol- icy as formerly. As you have noted, the name of the paper has been chagned to the Fallon County Times and in the future will be known under that heading. The changes wass made be- cause I felt that under the new name the newspaper would have a somewhat broader scope and its field of useful- ness be extended outside the confines of the city and be- come more representative of. the entire county of Fallon. My aim and endeavor will . be to reach all parts of the • county and to cater to the farmer as well as the business man or the city man, for I know how closely linked are the interests of both the city• and county. In the near future this newspaper will have a • representative in every district of Fallon County. The politics of the Fallon County Times, so far as na- tional issues are concerned, will continue to be Demo- cratic. In the local field, how- ever, I reserve the right to support the man or woman deserving of my support, re- gardless of political affilia- tion. My newspaper experience in Montana extends over many years and has been var- ied, interesting and reason- ably remunerative. In 1878, when this western country was overrun with Indians, buffalo and other wild ani- mals, the family came over- land from California by \prairie schooner\ the fastest mode of continental travel. It was before the advent of rail- roads, automobiles or aerial means of locomotion. We landed at Helena that year and then went over to White Sul- phur Springs, a pioneer settle- ment in Smith River valley. This little personal note is interposed here to show that I aWit not a tenderfoot in Mdtilu tana, nor a novice in the - newspaper laid printing garnet , I am a Montana man. I under- stand Montana people and I like them. • It is my intention to run this newspaper on a business basis, but principle will never be sacrificed for dollars. To every man a square deal is my policy. No item of news will be knowingly printed that would humiliate, embarrass or injure in a business or per- sonal m anner any man or woman, whether of high or low estate.) The newspaper has a power. which if recklessly used could wreck or ruin the reputation ' of any man. Common sense in wielding that power should be exercised. The newspaper' is a semi-public institution, it is dependent on the good will and support of the business interests for its maintenance, and the community at large reaps its ahre of the benefits. I expect to make a success of this newspaper, to which end a share of your patronage is solicited. I contemplate a pleasant social and business relation in this prosperous and progressive community. Baker is a city with a future and it is a mighty fine little city right now. That's why I am here. Next month the plant will be moved to its new building near the corner of Montana Avenue and First Street West. As soon as possible I want to get acquainted with every- body in Baker and Fallon County. Butte H. Tipton Jottings About Town 11.W. Sparks sold 900 acres of land to Thos.
