MASS MEETING ON CITY WATER MAINS In accordance with the call issued by Mayor H. M. Strand a mass meeting of citizens was held at the city hall last even ing for the purpose of acquaint- ingi the taxpayers of Hardin with the condition of the wates mains, badly damaged by co- rosion, and impressing on them that the condition with which the city is confronted is rather a serious one. The present water mains were laid in the late tall of 1914, Matheson joint steel pipe being used, it being chosen over cast iron pipe because of its lighter weight and consequent consid- erable saving in freight charges, as well is in criginal cost. It was very highly recommendek by experts who claimed that,! due to some chemical process, through which the pipe had; passed, its life was almost in -I terminable. The tellow who' originated that statement veryI evidently knew little about the! alkaloids in the wate r and soilsj of this section. In 1923 the first leaks of any ! consequence occurred - in the mains. In 1924 the number of leaks considerably increased and l during these two years it cost the water department of the city about $600 to repair them. Thus tar in 1925 there have been 19 leaks, which have cost the city an average of a6out $15 each to repair. After considerable discussion by those at the meeting it wise suggested that the mayor and City council secure figures and , facts from experts, giving the probable cost of relaying the water system with cast iron pipe, which is not an experi- ment, as it is known to have been in the ground as long as 135 years in certain • localities and is still giving as good serv- ice as when first laid. When these figures are ob- tained Mayor Strand will call another mass meeting, the date of which will be announced in the newspapers, and give them to the taxpayers who can then determine whether they wish to vote bonds to provide funds with which to relay the system or whethe r they wish to provide funds in some other manner to make repairs in the present system as leaks occur. Another question to be decided is wheth- er or not these leaks are caus- ing an injury to the ban - Titbit, pavement by softening it and causing it to julge. -• W. D. Fisher, secretary of the Custer Battlefield Hiway as- sociation, is sending out from his headquarters at Mitchell, S. D., thousands of pamphlets containing a road map of the highway, mileage charts and Interesting information concern- ing it. The association has opened for the tourist season a district office in charge of G. L. Lore, 2722 Montana avenue, Billings, Montana, who will be pleased to have members of the Custer Battlefield Hiway asso- ciation and their friends drop in and secure the latest road in- formation And maps. Dir. Lore knows not only the territory surrounding Billings and the parks, but is acquainted in gen- eral with the west. MeGIBONEY & DYCKMAN TO OPEN \ANNEX CAFE\ A deal was consumated the fore part of the week whereby L McGiboney and \Chub\ Dyckman become lessors of the \Coffee House,\ which was opened but six weeks ago by Mrs. Kate McEvoy of the Har- din Hotel. The new enterprise will be open for business next Monday morning and will be known as the \Annex Cafe.\ I is their aim to serve the best Gene Tunney, light heavy - that the market affords from 5:30 in the morning until the late lunch at night. Both mem- bers of the firm are experi- enced restaurant men and it goes without saying that they will popularize the cafe \by the depot.' READY FOR HAYING The first crop of alfalfa is ready to cut and were it not for the rainy weather of the past week some of it' would al- ready be in the stack. The crop promises to be a bumper one and the first cutting will be- gin just as soon as the sua comes out sufficiently to cure the cttp. • COPIOUS RAINS REVIVE SPIRITS OF EVERYBODY Farmers are jubilant and citi- zens of every walk of life are equally so over the recenf rains which visited this section and Montana in \general this week. The heaviest rain in years is re_ ported to have fallen yesterday over a large area of Montana. In some places the rain was ushered in by the falling of snow to a depth of four inches which immediately melted away. During the fore part of the week heavy rains fell in Big Horn county, the steady down- pour all day Sunday penetrat- ing the wound for a depth of nearly eight inches. Tuesday there was another heavy rain and there have been light rains intermittently during the week. Rain, having the ear -marks of a -soaker, is falling at the present Crops, some ef which were be- ginning to need rain, have ta- ken rapid growth and judging from the turn the weather has taken there will be ialenty of moisture this summer and some wonderful crops to be harvested. - - SHERIDAN BURLINGTON TEAM TRIMMED GOOD The Hardin baseball nine won a one-sided game on the local diamond last Sunday afternoon, when they took Sheridan, Wyo., Burlington nine into camp with a score of 18 to 1. The game was more interesting than the score would indicate. Jim Den- ton, Hardin's crack moundsman, pitched the first five innings, allowing the visitors but three scattered hits, one in the third and two in the fifth, and striking out five men. Ellis, who walked in the fifth, was the only Sher- idanite - to . score: Cy Calhoun, who pitched the last three in- nings, held the Burlingtons hit- less and fanned six men, five of them in a row, in the sixth and seventh innings. With one exception, every player on the 'tin - twiny made from one trf' four hits for a total of twenty safeties, including a cou pie home -runs and an equal number of three -baggers. The batteries were Denton, Calhoun and Tan- ner for' Hardin; Collings and Baker for the Buriingtops.. The score by innings: Hardin - r 370 502 0 1 0-18 Sheridan— 000 0 1 0 000— 1 • George Herman came in from Rotten Grass creek Monday and has since been taking treatment at the Labbilat hospital. He ex- pects to be Ole to return home Saturday. JOINT MEMORIAL SERVICE TO BE HELD SUNDAY 55 vs. 17 The other day a representative of the Tribune -Herald was over at the county treasurer's office to pay the last installment of his taxes. While there he met a gentleman from Stillwater county, who was complaining about the high testes in his county. Asked why his taxes were so high, he produced his tax receipt. Among other things, he pointed out the school levy. It was 40 mills. \Besides he said, \we have a special school levy of 15 mills. That makes 66 mills.\ Here in District 17H the levy is 17 mills. Some dif- ference! And this, notwithstanding the fact that the assessment 'has been lowered on all farm and city praperty. And this, notwithstanding the fact that school bonds are being paid off. If we stick to facts and figures we will find that our school system here is the last thing with which to find fault. CHEYENNE INDIANS GO 5 • MILES TO SCHOOL EVENT The annual memorial Or - vices of Hardin Lodge No. 93, Inde- pendent Order of Odd Fellows, and Alpha Rebekah Lodge No. 96, will be held at the Methodist church next Sunday morning, Jtme 7, at il o'clock. Members of both orders, and sojourning brothers and sisters, are re- quested to meet at 10:30 a. M. at the lodge room in the city hall, where they will form in procession and march in a body to the church. A sermon in keeping, with the occasion will be delivered by the Rev. J. A. Meeke, chaplain of the Odd Fel- lows lodge and pastor of the Hardin M. la church, and spe- ciel musical numbers will be given by members of the Meth- odist choir. All members of the local lodges and sojourning Odd Fellows and Rebekahs are -urged to attend. % • Go to Sawyer's for Work Shi rt s—Good quality Me. That the Cheyenne Indian is fast coming to the front in adopting the ways of the white man, was demonstrated last Saturday at the annual school picnic at Busby, where hundreds of Indians witnessed with an- thusiasm the events in whicn their children took part. The school located at Busby which is serving as a torch of en- lightenment to the offspring of the famous warring tribe, is known as the' Tongue River Training school. Wm. H. Bal- mer, principal of this school, in an interview with a Tribune - Herald reporter Wednesday, stated that the school will close tomorrow, completing the /11014 successful year since the school was started in 1903. Located on a government. tract comprising 1,800 acres, the school is well equipped to teach the Indian pupils the many branches of agriculture thor- oughly. At the present time the pupils have 300 acres of this land under cultivation, in wheat corn, emmer, barley, oats, alfalfa, potatoes and a large school garden. By this means the school is made as near self- supporting as is possible. This work is being done under the direction of the agriculture teacher, Frank M. Scott. The boys ere also taught dairying, stock 'sing, engi- neering, shoe and arness re- pairing and carpenter work. In the teaching of dairying the school herd consists of 48 Hol- stein cows, 18 of which at pres- ent are keeping the school well supplied in butte r and cram.' In, connection with the s dairying a large number of hogs are raised. In the neat. future the raising of beef will be started with an aim to keep the school supplied with this -meat. As an iedication of the interest showa in this line, 102 boys of the Cheyenne tribe are now mem- bers of the 4-H club and ere showing a great deal of en- thusiasm in the work. The girls are taught domsstie science and domestic art. Under the direction of the school cook they prePere all the meals for the 112 pupils attend:ng the school. They also make all of their uniforms and do their owl mending. They are taught all the .different steps in modern- ized laundrying. The girls are also given a thorough training in poultry raising. All this training work requires 14 instructors and there are 20 buildings, including the class rooms, dormitories, m a n al training shops and stook rooms As to athletics, this school is well up to standard, having 'GIBBONS KNOCKED OUT 111111•••••••11.
