This figure is a considerable increase ever last year, nearly every district adding to its school census, The en- umeration was taken for the month of September, and for this werk the clerks were compensated by their re- spective districts 10 cents per capita.

Palmer was in the best of form and easily had the advantage over Coombes in every round For a time he. let Coombes assume. the offensive, and te show his disdain at his opponent's attack seemed to purposely expose his face and body to blows that landed without ‘effect. Finally in the fourth round, Palmer stepped into the game in earnest and with his lIeng reach found Coombes. with several telling blows. Coombes wilted before the at- tack and toward the close of the rcund went to the mat for a count of nine before regaining his shaking “pins.” ‘The gong only prolonged the segsion part of another round. Pal- mer seemed to have every advantage ever Coombes and in weight was five pounds to the good Two years ago at the Ashland Roundup Coombes outpcinted Palmer in a boxing exhibition but when the two men met recently Palmer came back stronger than ever.

Mess eall sounded at 7 o'clock and there was a hearty response, 19 Fex-Service men responding. It was a sumptuous feed and it can .never be said that the boys didn’t da ample justice to the magnificent dinner that was set before them. After the banquet that was served in several coursés a business meeting was held and the élection of officers for the ensuing year followed, with the result as fellows: Ben N. Johnson was re-elected to the office as commander. ' W. J. Schoeder, vice commander succeed Orville Weathers. A. P. Ellian, adjutant, Edw. P. Boyle. N. A. Burkey, finance cfficer, to sue- ceed H, A. Loobey. to to succeed D, F. DeLap, chaplain, succeeding himself. Al Forsgren, historian, to succeed himself. F. J. Klimek, sergeant at arms, a new office in the local Post. Several impertant matters were con- sidered by the Legicn boys, probably the most important of which was a Legion club house project at Broadus. It is proposed to erect a building, 40 by 35 feet in measurement, ta serve as a community meeting place here, not only for the Legion boys but for other civic and community organiza- tions. There will be placed in the building gymnasium apparatus includ- ing a wrestling mat, boxing gloves, punching bag, Indian clubs and numer- ous other articles. It is proposed: to have this apparatus available for the use cf the high school students and such others as may desire to use it. All the materfal for the building wib be donated with the exception of th, : f win oO oo ar ioorfng, sash. The log ranch of Comm winter and by gton Post. 9 will gather pected that and skidd the templated to gave dei an early date fn the Lesion 1 the vicinity cf W. T. Waite’s resi- dence to the Legion Post as a building site, will oversee the construction of the building from the time the logs pletion. TT: of the members have subscribed vaFious amounts of money ranging from $5 to $25 to cover the cost of such material as cannot be secured by donation A building and finance comimitte< cnsisting of Ben Johnson, F. H. Petto and Joe Klimek, was appointed to nake all the necessary arrangements et adtes for the cutting of the legs hauling of the logs from Jchnson's ranch to Broadus, and the erection of the walls, and to provide fcr the fi- nancing of the project. An estimate ef the caiptal outlay necessary— to the completion cf the building, has been placed at $600, this. in addition to donation of labor and the rough building material. The Pcat has ap- proximately $300 nits treasury, counting the money it has Invested in district high school notes that assisted in financing the building now being used for such purpose. The Legicn has raised money principally through public dances held at Broadus in the past but now it is extending its ac- tivity in this respect to other parts of the ccuny. A series of dances will be given over the county under aus- pices of the Legion, the first of which will be at Powderville Saturday even- ing, January 20. Following this will eome dances at Stacey and elsewhere. The funds cf the Legion are to be ex- pended ‘in the laudable club house at the county seat and the boys are hopeful that sufficient funds can be raised from these social affairs to maek their coming venture a success. In speaking of the club heuse, Com- mander Johnson was most optimistic and said “We are going to put it over and we want the people to feel that the Legion is taking to this preposi- tion with a desire to do its bit for the welfare of the public in general The building would not be exclusive to the Legion -boys but all would be welcome. Of course the Legicn would reap a benefit by having a place to house its war mementoes and other souvenirs and as a regular meeting place, but it could be used as well for cther purposes, as for instance, a meeting place for the. commercial club, the Ladies’ Aid society, the firemen’s association, Sunday school and church services, Boy Scouts, high schcol stu- dents, and as a public library.” The meeting was considered by thé members to have heen the most suc- cessful and enthusiastic ever held by the Legion, both from the point cf members present and from the stand- point of things accomplished.

Mg RAILROAD LIMINARIES SUBJECT) TO CONJECTUR e« * 1 a@ ie and gcing, and at least one surveying barty in the field, it is reported, but no definite announcements as to the blans’ of the new’ railroad company have been divulged-to date. There is no mistaking the fact preliminary action is being taken f a railroad project, north and south, to connect’ Casper, Wyo., with some railroad point in Montana, preferably Terry or Miles City, and that the route choseh will be either down Tongue river or Powder river? There have been rapid dévelcpments within the past few days and kaleidoscopic action may mark the progress of such a railroad project within the very near future. No one cutside of t!-ose diregtly intersted sems to know just what is hapening but all are obsessed of the belief that a railroad is truly in the making. \ Property owners cf Powder ‘River county are moat receptive.for a rail- read and are said to be 100 per cent for it. The concensus cf opinion pre- vails that no obstacle whatsoever will meet a@ railroad project in this county and that all will grant rights-of-way and will enccurage a railrod project when the plans are more definitely known. A railroad project through Powder River county, whether from south to north. or east to west, ts al- most an imperative necessity for the continued development of its resources such as coal mining, farming and live-, stock raising and prebably oil. i , Broadus itself is alive to the situa- @ and the railroad discussion will come up. as a special order of busiwess Want It on Pampkin Creek, Miles City, Dec. 26.—E.
