GalWey and Con. F. Kelly, of Butte, and others, directors of the Montana Independent Telephone Company. Butte June, 21. -The annual Meeting of the stockholders of the Montana Independent Telephone company, was held at the coin - pall'. central offices in Bette and the following directors elected: W: (1. Conrad, of Great Falls, F H. Clinton, of Anaconda, and Thaddeus S. Lane. II. A. Gal - Ivey, C. J. Kelly. C. F. Kelly, J. T. O'Brien, L. C. Evans, W. H. Hall, Patrick Vail, J. J. Flanigan and II. D. Brown, of Butte. Later a meeting of the directors was calied and Harry A. Gal wey was elected president, W. H. Hall, rice president,. Thaddeus S. Lane, managing director, C. J. Kelly, secretary -treasurer. The annual report read to the stockholders by Managing Direc- tor Lane showed sonic surprising results.. The report of June 13, 1909. showed the number of tele- phones then operated to be 2521. Today this number has increased to 4088 an actual increase of 1567 during the year. One year ago the directors in their report to the stockholders anticipated an increitme in sub- scriber: statione of 720. The actual increase qf telephones put in operation lest year was more than twice the increase anticipated. Said Mr. bane; \During the year long distance lines have been built and connections established between Butte and Helena ; and Butte and Anaconda, and all in- termediate points. Commercial business with nt least 1.000 tele- phones installed. The equipment of the Helena exchange will be a feature of the aork proposed by the Montana company. The phones are the latest typo of the modern automatic instrument with the new dial on the base, and the switchboard is also automatic and the latest type. Long distance service between Butte and llelena has been in operation for some months and found to give the greatest satisfaction. In conclusion Mr. Lane stated; \The stability of your company is indicated by the steady growth of business and revenues thru period of general financialslepres- sion. The business secured in the various localities where this com- Pan.v operates is the most desir- able, and the rates for service are uniform and profitable, while the service furnished is maintained at a high degree of excellence. Practically all of the issued bonds and stock of the company are held by Montanans. The company now has 510 stockhold- ers and the nuniber is increasing. In Ohio. Not long ago, debaters wished to secure a Lancaster, 0., school house for a debate upon public utilities. They make this reply to the petitioners: \You are welcome to use the school house to debate all proper questions in, but such things as railroads and telegraphs are im- possibilities and rank infidelity. There is nothing in the word of God - about them. If God had designed that Him intelligent creatures should travel at . the frightful speed of fifteen miles an hoar by steam, he would have clearly foretold to his holy proph- ets. It is a device of Satan to lead immortal souls to hell:\ How's that for hard shell? What a peculiar 'notion the good people of Lancaster. 0., must entertain of the Holy Writ. Did they expect the Jewish writers to mention matters undreamed off Schools are too much hidebound, in rural districta, by this sort of thing. The word of God they certainty should have; but the sec- tarian is substituted, as a rule. 1Vhat sort of an education must the Lancaster children get, un- der the b.enign guidance of these excellent trustees? The above is from the editorial eolutns of the Inter Mountain of laid Monday. It is it Jact that the .Lancaster board of directors refused to allow the use of the school house for the purpose . of the debate. That happened betorc the editor of the Inter Mountain was born, and the first three words of his editorial -\Not - king ago\ -would be more applicable to the advent of the Inter Mountain editor. LINCOLN COUNTY. To be Erected From Western Part of Flathead. Helena, June 21. -The supreme court this morning dismissed the Lincoln county case, which means that Montana will have an ad- ditional county, in accordance with the bill passed by the last legisla- ture carving it from the western portion of Flathead. Some of the residents of Flathead county opposed the division of their sec- tion and took the matter into the courts. The action of the supreme court in dismissing the protests means that the bill as passed in the legislatnre is valid. It becomes effective July 1. It Actually Ca be Done. During the past 20 years I have annually cultivated from 50 to 300 acres of land in Caseade county, depending wholly on natural moisture, and from my indifferent methods of fanning I have learned that the possibilities of farming on the rich mellow lands of northern Montana are almost without limit. During this time have never failed to grow or suminer•fallowed land in the driest years we have had in all this time, a crop of wheat considerably larg- er than the average wheat crop of Minnesota or North Dakota. I regret that I did not sooner ascer- tain by practical tests the advan- tage* that can be derived from growing al fill fa without irrigation. For, while this wonderful plant possesses a value unequalled for forage purposes, thus opening the broadest field for the dairy inter- est here, it will, in my opinion, thru -its fertilizing properties, place the agriculture of the west on a more profitable and enduring basis than it could otherwise oc- cupy., Farming without an irri- gating ditch, in Montana. would have been much farther advanced but for the determined efforte of many *per:mod - to decry it, thus turning immigration to other parts of the far %est, These per- sons. for the time have, also done much to retard an advance in land values, and especially the value of productive but nog -irrigated farms. But the tide of we'stern immigration is enislesm and, in spite of frpolition.where the Wind of welcome should be given.it will cover all the west.- Paris Gibson. Scandal.Mongers. andel-monger.

He's bright and youth- ful and wants to show it in the clothes he wears. His ideas have been adinimbly interpreted by Strauss Brothers, Master Tailors, Chicago. In both fabrics and fashions, they show many creations that make for the originality sought by the college matt. You may not number yourself with the \college boys\ but that's no reason why you shouldn't enjoy the college spirit in your clothes. Don't fall to see the collection of dashingly beautiful fabrics we are now showing. It's worth your while to call whether you order or not. H H.
