Hilda Hobart Ostlund •••••mm...1 Hilda Hobert Ostlund, beloved wife of Carl E. Ostlund passed from this life Thursday, March 22nd, 1917 at the family home west of Ekalaka after an illness of but a few days, So sudden did the Angel of Death descend upon the happy home that the news of the taking away of this life cast a shadow on the entire communitx. At Morgantown, Ky, on Nov. 16th, 1895, Mrs. Ostlund came to gladden the home of her parents and at the age of 9 years, with them moved to Walters, Okla. where they lived four years. The opportunities for prosperity in Montana attracted her parents and in 1909 they came here and and located near Chalk Buttes. On June 20th of last year she wa9 married to Carl E. Ost!und, a presperous and industrious young homesteader of ,this sec- tion. Mrs. Ostlund was 21 years, 4 months and 6 days of age and leaves to mourn her departure to the better world her husband, three sisters, five brothers and her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Elmore. At the end her mother, three brothera and sisters were in the east visiting and were unable to attend the final services 1,vhich were held Sunday afternoon from the Eka- laka church. A large number of friends escorted the remains to their 'final resting place in the I. O. O. F. cemetery. The taking away of such a young life and the breaking up of such a happy home is indeed sad and the sympathy of the en- tire community goes to the be- reaved ones at this time. Landseekers Coming Quite a number of land aeekers and prospective land purchasers have been arriving in this sec- tion the past week. The rail- roads are now experiencing the first rush of the immigration to this state which will be very large this year. The local real estate firms are being flooded with requests for information concerning this section but the homestead land is about gone un- less they go to the southern part of the county. Many have fought and died for Liberty. -Its coming.

Look at these prices for that old reliable and guaranteed stock conditioner and worm expeller DR. HESS STOCK TONIC 25 lb. pail, $2.25 100 lb. drum, $7. Remember we have no peddler's wagon and horses' expenses to pay. That's why we can sell you Dr. Hess Stock Tonic at these rock -bottom prices. Here is another point, Mr. Farmer, we want to emphasize: Dr. Hess Stock Tonic is highly con- centrated; it goes farther, as the small dose quan- tity proves. Dr. Hess Stock Tonic is to put your animals in a thriving condition, make the ailing ones healthy and expel worms, ' otherwise you get your money back.

Carter County. Case The , :arter County case was argued oefore-the supreme court at Helena on Monday and a de- cision is looked for a early date. The opponents in the case con- tend that as there is a general law on the statute books for the creation of new counties the leg- islature cannot create such a county, that the 'passage of the Carter county bill was special legislation which is prohibited by the constitution. It was argued in defense of the law that the legislature is the best judge of whether or not a special law would be more applicable to the case than a general law, and that if a special law did serve better, it would not be violative of the constitutional provision.

Since taking up his residence at Sykes in 1906, Mr. Hardy had acquired a large number of per- sonal friends and the community has lost a valuable citizen and a kind neighbor, who always ex. tended a helping hand. In the passing of Wellar Har- dy, the sympathy of all is ex- . tended to the bereaved ones. New Machine Here It is worth the time spent for all of our readers to visit the Ekalaka State Bank and view the new mechanical bookkeeper that has been added to that institu- tion. A new Burrough's book- keeping machine has been in- stalled which eliminates practic- ally all the small mistakes and errors that- are bound to creep through with the old methods. fhe installation of the new mach- ine was made neceessary by the ever increasing business of the home bank, which is now recog- nized as one of the leading finan- cial institutions of eastern Mon- tana. The boys in the bank will be glad to show you the new machine any time. Fine watch repairing a special. ty, old jewelry made new. The Ekalaka Drug Co., Jewelers and Opticians.

Even a South Sea Island- er could instantly tell, as soon as he heard it that a talking machine wasn't a real person.
