Washington CHIEF W. G. ALEXANDER )f the Bozeman fire department, who retiredrecently after 41 .years of service, conditions made a fire engine a ne- cessity. In May of that year a Silsby steam fire engine was purchased snd Mr. Alexander was appointed chief of the department, a position he has held unti4 a few days ago. That the department had reached a high degree of efficiency was prov- en two_yearalater. The state Pim mens asssciation was organized in Butte in 1890, with \Billy Bozeman' a charter member. He made his presence felt -at the -fir -et meeting and as a result secured for his little city the first firemen's tournament held In the Treasure state. These contests were staged in 1891 and $1,000 in cash prizes held up to the gaze of competing teams. Chief Alexander was captain of the Bozeman team which came out with flying colors. Men who competed against the Sweet Pea city aggregation declare that the team was composed of as good a bunch of young athletes as ever pull- ed a hose cart, but one tells a good story on the chief. Defeats Self It appears that during one of the water tests, Alexander brought into play a hydraulic elevator which so reduced water pressure that full force at the nozzle of the hose was im- possible. As the competing teams took to the field the elevator was kept running up and down in its shaft but was stopped when the Boze- man crew was called, according to the man who told the story. Thls proved fatal to Alexander's hopes because the force of the water was so great that it blew the nozzle from the hose and Bozeman lost that event. For 1 more years the Bozeman de- partment was operated with the equipment bought in 1884 and 1885, but the growth of the city was such ' BOOKLET TO TELL STATE'S VIRTUES MONTANA STOCKMEN •re you familiar with the adeantages offered by the Spokes.

Active Work of Colonization to Fol- low Circulation of Book; (7ompany to Endeavor to Bring In Only Such Settlers as Have Chance to Prosper A booklet, \Montana for the Farm- er,' prepared and printed by the Northern Pacific railroad, will be ex- tensively distributed throughout the country during the next few months as a supplement to the mammoth ad- vertising program being carried on now by the Northern Pacific, the Burlington and the Great Northern railways. It will contain information about the state's agricultural re- sources useful to prospective settlers. In its composition every suggestion of exaggeration is avoided and no land boom is expected or desired from the enterprise. Statistics will be quoted illustrating the possibili- ties of the state's agricultural areas. No effort is made in its pages to appeal to settlers not anticipating the establishment of permanent homes. The distribution of the book will be followed by an active campaign which will have as its purpose the importation of prospective settlers on trips to inspect Montana land. Rates have already been offered by the three roads, co-operating in the ad- vertising and colonization project. By them a round trip ticket to Montana from any point on the lines can be bought for the price of a one-way ticket plus two dollars. These set- tler excurtifOns are i*pecleiô có tinue through the summer and late into the autumn.

Montana_ CLARK INTERESTS LOOK AT NEIHART CREW OF ENGINEERS SAID TO BE MAKING SURVEY OF BIG SEVEN MINE. RIPPle Property, Silver -Load mource, Also Said to Be Under Considera- tion; Deal Would Inxolve $350,- 0 0 0 . If Put Through, Says Report. A crew of engineers and samplers reported to be representing the W. A. Clark interests of Butte, is mak- ing a survey of the Big Seven Silver - Lead mine near Neihart, pursuant to negotiations said to be under way with the present owners of the prop- erty by the Clark interests. The Rip- ple property is also underatood to be under consideration with Clark in- terests and rep&rts reaching' reat. Falls are that the engineers are in- cluding an examination of that pro- perty in their work. The majority stock in the Big Sev- en is owned by \Frosty\ Barker of Helena; Mrs. E. M. Edwards of Long Beach, Calif., and David Barker of Neihart, and minority stockholders in Great Falls say they had not been officially informed that he is negoti- ating a sale of his interests, but that they had learned from reliable sources that field men representing Clark are making an examination of the property. Reports current in Great Falls fix $325.000 as the price to be paid by the clerk interests if the deal is consumated. Great Falls men closely in touch with mining affairs say the deal re- ported to be under way between Bar- ker and Clark is far advanced and belief is quite general that a sale will be closed. No announcement has been made, but the opinion is gain- ing ground that if the property is taken over by the Butte operators, develqpment work on a large scale will be begun during the year.

Mrs. W. H. Lindsay of Belton on a recent trip to Kalispell said her hus- band was not with her because he had to stay home with his dear.

When they let him in in the morning he goes upstairs and climbs up on the bed, if permitted. All af- ternoon he lies comfortably upon the couch, and during family meals he comes right up to the table and begs for things to eat. \The men say he will go off with the other deer in the fall,\ said Mrs. Lindsay, \ut I don't believe it.\ MONTANA IS WARMER \I came back to Montana to get warm.\ That is why E.

Mr. Richards while in Los Angeles received a copy of a Montana newspaper stating that the temperature in Helena that day was two degrees higher than in Los Angeles. Mr. Richards twitted for- mer Montanans with this news item and then departed for home.
