Afternoon Tea Parties on Oriental Limited Four o'cloa tea parties are be- coming popular on the Great North- em's limited \Coast\ trains. The company has adopted the practice of serving free tea each afternoon between 4 and 5 o'clock to occu- pants of the standard sleeping cars and compartment observation car. It is not only refreshing but adds greatly to the social pleasure of the trip across the continent. That the men enjoy it as well as the women is evidenced by the fact that very few let the hour slip by without giv- ing their order to the porter. Hugh Wilkins, agent of the Billings & Northern, who has been out of the city attending the funeral of his nephew, re- turned home Friday. D. J.

Government Inspector Follie has been in Windham for the last week looking over the country. William McCullom made a flying trip to the Gap last Wednesday. He didn't look bad upon his return. What a joke on the dry -farmers in the vicinity of Windham—only five days since April without rain. Stop in at the Cottonwood Coal company's office and see the best samples of grain in Fergus county. The Windham Commercial club Is going in full force, and every member is in earnest and anxious to see the town prosper. Six Illinois men were in town over Sunday and each purchased a good 160 -acre farm from the Cot- tonwood Coal company. William Peters is the busiest man in the basin between his hotel and harvesting. His oats are noted over the basin as being the best crop in Fergus county. Fergus County Jury Term Postponed Judge Cheadle, for the reasons that the docket shows nothing that demands urgent antion and that farmers in the Basin are using all their time in gathering the immense crops, decided to postpone the jury term, and there will probably not be one until November. The judge has gone to Bozeman. RIMROCK TUNNEL FIRE The Great Northern railway on Sunday morning suffered another severe tunnel fire, this time on the Billings and Northern railway. Tun- nel No. 1, at Rim Rock, which is 2,500 feet long, caught fire from a passing engine, it is said, and the whole Billings fire department was called in an effort to extinguish the flames: Bulkheads were placed in the entrance to the tunnel but the fire broke through the ground, so that it received air, and was soon burning with all the fury known to immense amount of timber, which lines the tunnel. Asa result of the disaster, the train service on the Billings & Northern has again be- come only local. The through Bur- lington traffic is sent by the way of Great 'Falls, while the local trains are being run through the Basin on the old schedule. Mail service is greatly demoral- ized, or, rather, Was at the first of the week. No mail was sent out on the line at all on Sunday. and Mon- day mail from only one way was received. The excuse offered by offi- cials was that there were no mail clerks in Great Falls to take the run. This being the case, it appears to the people of this section that one should have been in that city, and Sheriff Ed Martin has seven prisoners in the county jail, said to be Bulgarians. charged with shooting Deputy Sheriff Mc- Call at Melstone last Saturday. The pris- oners and some others, charged with vio- lating the game law and McCall went after them. At close range several of the men fired on the officer who was shot in in the face and netk and will probably lose an eye. The men were followed just across the line into Rosebud county, where they were arrested. It is said the shoot- ing really occurred In Rosebud county, but In any event Fergus county will ink( advantage of the new law giving it Juris- diction in such cases for 500 yanls tin other side of its boundary. Henry G. Dyer, of Denton, was In from the ranch on Wednesday and took out a load of supplies for himself 43 , )d neighbors. that Great Falls should properly be the end of the run, and homes of railway mail clerks. From every town along the line a strenuous pro- test has gone up, and it may be in the future that no such occurrence will be recorded. A mail service which is unable to furnish at least as good accommodation as a crip- pled railway is sadly in need of re- formation, and the people along the line of the Billings & Northern should make the rebuke so stinging that they will never suffer the humilia- tion of seem n a passenger train pull over the line which does not carry United States mail. Old Time Residents Pay a Visit to Stanford George W. Canon and wife. of Lewistown, were in Stanford on Tuesday, and made final proof on their desert land claims before the local U. S. commissioner. Mr. and Mrs. Canon are old time residents of this city, or rather were of the old town, and their visit to Stanford at this time was in the na- ture of a home coming, for during their stay in the city they were con- stantly greeting old friends and ac- quaintances. Mr. Canon was for several years bookkeeper for the Stough & Mitchell company and as such made many friends who still retain a warm place in their mem- ory for the gentleman and -his esti- mable wife. Mrs. Canon returned to her home in Lewistown, while Mr. Canon con- tinued his journey on to the coast, where he has property interests in the city of Seattle which demands his attention. Before returning to his duties in the First National bank at the county seat he will have have made a trip of inspection throughout the coast country. Stanford World $2.00 per year. TWO OPINIONS C IIVF,N OUT Attorney General Galen Promulgates Two Opinions, One Each to Custer and Powell County Attorneys Two. opinions were rendered Sat- unlay by Attorney General Galen in response to queries from state and county officers. In the first, addressed to the coun- ty attorney of Custer county, it is held that, under the Montana stat- utes, a county clerk and recorder is authorized to administer oaths and to take verification to a pleading of an affidavit of verification to a me- chanics lien. Nor is there any re- striction as to the character of the instrument in connection with which the oath is to be administered. S. P. Wilson, county attorney of Powell county, is informed in an- other opinion that it is the duty of school boards to determine the rate of tuition of non-resident pupils, makes it obligatory upon one dis- trict to receive children from an- other district, and they may refute to do so only on the ground of in- sufficient room for accommodation of pupils. Rev. A. W. Hammer Stanford, Hobson, Utica The many friends of Rev. A. W. Hammer will be pleased to learn that he has been appointed as pas- tor by the Northern Montana con- ference at its session in Havre for the cities of Stanford, Hobson and Utica.

Serious Stabbing Affray in an Armington Resort As the result of a drunken stab- bing affray in a saloon in Arming- ton, Ernest Dickson, a saloon keeper of Knerrville lies seriously if not fatally injured, and S. B. Gaskill, one of the proprietors of the Yankee Doodle saloon is in jail, says the Great Falls Tribune. Dickson is ly- ing on an improvised cot in the rear of the Club saloon, being too weak from the loss of blood to be moved.
