PROSPERITY FOR VALLEY • Settlers Are Signing Con- tracts For Water Rights. SURVEY NEXT WEEK Mere Than Fourteen Thousand Acres Already Covered By Contracts- . Dirt Will Fly In Thirty Days. Notwithstanding the fact that a slight misunderstanding occured be- tween the settlers of the valley and the contractors -for the blorcainal, as to the quaatity of water to be furnished. the prospects are bright for Immediate work on the enterprise. While the contract es priutaiestates that one-half inch per acre is to be supplied, Messrs. Bair and Shepherd have signed a statement in which they agree to increase this amount to five - eighths of an inch providing the Sec- retary Of the Interior will modify their contract with the department in that particular. It is the general belief that the Secretary of the Interior will hay no objection to the increase, and in view of this the settlers are signing the contract more rapidly than had been anticipated. Some are signing the con- tract SS it was originally printed, while others are adding the provision for the additional amount of water. Yesterday forenoon contracts rep- resenting 8.000 acres were deposited in Corner Central Ave. the Bank of Hardin, and with the lands and Second-altreets. owned by Bair and Shepherd and, thei friends amounting to fully 3,000 acres ; and 7,000 acres of Indian lands fo ' 4 \..\ --4 \ 1 \ 4 \\m -44 \\ 4 : 14 \an* -40001 \ . • ° \ 11 which Bair and Shepherd claim to hold HARDIN, Mont. ••••••••••••••• , .• , , , mr-monuo.••• mg. -war •••••6.-.•••••,•/••••-•••-••-•••••••••••1•TO•••••••••••••• ..1111.• ..11111641.41.1•11.41111.41•1•46.4.. •016411164M.411.......W......0111.4111• Diplomat Whiskey. “JUST RIGHT** Imported sod Domestic CIGARS B udweiser and illings E E R @ ® IMPORTED WINES TOWN LOTS CARL RANKIN, p _a••QMPF- -46101. -4411110.- -MOM 0-**Nme. -*aw*--0-44NO*--4MMIDO- Some Good Locations Stik for Sale Ditch Work Begins Values Will Golly HARDIN, Montana • • • • • • • • • • • • • THE HARDIN BAR ROBERT ANDERSON, Propr.

This in itself is sufficient to guarantee the pledging of seventy-five per cent of the land un- der the canal, but there are several more who have signified their inten- thni of signing who have net at this time handed in the contract Enough has been accomplished, however, to assure the immediate constriction of the canal and we are informed that Messrs. Bair and Shepherd have an- nounced unreservedly that surveyors and engineers will be at work on the line next week. As the date set by the contract for the completion of the can - ails May let next, the contractors are awe than anxious to see the work un- der way at; once and will lose no un- necessary time SO far as they are con- cerned. The question as to the quantity of water has been taken up with the Sec- retary of the Interior both by Messrs. Bair and Shepherd and the settlers. It is hoped that in a very few days word from him will be received and the mat- ter settled to the entire satisfaction of all concerned. In the meantime all who have not signed should do so at mice. The time Is ripe for something doing in the .. val- ley and each individual should consider it a duty to boost it along. • Hoboe Convention. A monster mass convention of hoboes will take . place in New York today. The meeting was called by James Eadm How, president of the St. Louis Wel- fare Association. All the notables will be present, including Dr. Benjamin Reitman, Chicago's king of hoboes: John Ellis, C. D. Harvey and otbilii:Sf national repute. A perfect orate- ization (if the always unemployed 481 be brought about. This pilgrimage to the modern me- tropolis is the most itnportand in the history of trampdoin. It is she inten- tion of the leaders of the convention to arrange new routes for the per- petual peregrimitors. They will en- deavor to work out a plan which will simplify and systematize the life of the profesmional itinerant. A new code of signs and signals is to be devised and -a new constitution adopted. An effort, will be made to complete a new dia- gram of each town in the country: showing the name and location of the people who are \easy theme who have doge, the honeem where shoe gams are always handy. and the homes of the women who always have a boiling tea- kettle ready to be emptied DIP.RI the nnenspecting hobo. It is expected. that ten thousand tramps will and their way to New York. Most of them, it is given out in the forecast, will camp out in Central park. New York has wrestled with the problem of the unemployed for mo long that it will not mind &little thing like , ten tirmeand m we wigderene In that city today, it is estimated, there are a quarter million unemployed men and women, most of whom would be glad of an opportunity to go to work. Many of them, 'ere this, have about made up there minds to join the hobo army and go forth into the world with DO (zre*, no responsibilities, with nothing but a keen desire to eat. En- forced idleness has made millions of hoboes. Reiman Reported Murdered. liaimuli.‘Moroccan bandit, has been assassinated, according to a Tangier dispatch. Late messages leave little doubt that the famous bandit was slain. It is reported that he was the victim . of hostile tribesmen. His full name was Mohammed Er Raimuli. He was 40 years old. He de- lighted in the title his countrymen be- stowed on him of the \Scourgeof Mo- nx:co.\ Tangier reports say he was slain .near . 'Zunaront by members of the Elk es tribe. Ita.ieuli first came into fame when he abducted M. Perdicaris, an Ameri- can citizen whuse. Mune for months oc- 'cupied columns of the press. Raisuli held Perdicaris for ransom, which was paid. Later he abducted Ca.id, Sir Harry McLain, a Scotchman, but a subject of King Edward. The ransom demanded for McLaiii 'WM paid and he was promised im- munity by the British government. Reiman was easily the most romantic figure of the age and the last of the type of successful and old-time ban- ditti. His entrance Into and marches through Tangier from tiuie to time were more like ' theme of a conqueror or hero than a fugitive. His power and popularity / with his tribesmen arose from freplent victorious clashes with the powers that rule and from an ability illinaiiitfing men that was re- markable • Notice. T. E.

Notwithstanding the objections of the delegation of Crow Indians who recent- ly visited Washington, Senator MEOW* bill providing for the opening to settle- ment of about 2,000,000 acres of the Crow reservation, has been reported favorably from the senate committee on Indian affairs. Senator Dixon is confi- dent the hill will pass the senate this session, but it may not get through the house until the next session. Notice to Stockholders. An assessment of $5 has been levied on each stockholder of the Big Horn Water Users' Association for the pur- pose,lif raising funds to meet necessary and incidental expenses.. it is request- ed that each person Pay the assessment to the Bank of Hardin at the earliest possible date. By order of the board o f dire c tors. G. H. THOMAS, Treasurer. County Roads. An unusual amount of kicking is be- ing done about the condition of the county road leading down the valley north from Hardin. Sometime back the county commissioners established a rood on paper, hut nothing has ever been done to make it serviceable or passable. With the coming of spring and the prospects for water for irriga- tion purposes the settlers are fencing their land, in many instances closing, the cross-country roads heretofore used and forcing the travel to other byways. Along the route of the county road as established by the county commission- ers are a number of places that must of necessity be worked before the road is passable and up to date no authority has been given to the road supervisors to expend any money in doing so. We understand a bridge or two is neces- sary and a considerable iunount of grad- ing will be required before the road can be of any service to the traveling public. It would. be asking too much of the settler to expect him to refrain from fencing the land he is entitled to, and it seems that the only thing to do Is to prevail upon the county . board to authorize the road supervisors to open the established road and do the necessary work required. A small out- lay on the part of the county would remedy matters and it would seem that the people of the valley are entitled to at least that consideration. Billings - Drug Factory. The largest patent medicine factory between St. Paul and Spokane will start operation May 10 in this city, when the Chapple Drug company will begin manufacturing special medicinal preparations on Which they have the patent-awl sjle privilegekte make and sell at their new factory, situated on Fourth avenue between North Twenty- ninth and Thirtieth streets. The building has been nearly com- pleted and as soon as it is possible machinery will he installed. The dreg company is the largest manufacturer of drug . preparations in the states of . Montana, Wyoming, Nortli- - .-and Sarah Dakota. their near- est - competitor being a drug company in .. , Helena. Their preparations have met with such favor and experienced such large sales that as a matter of economy the company decided to make them on a much larger scale. -Billings Gazette. • An electric railway from Billings to the promising camp of Cook City is pro- jected. Since indulging in that big ,\dpihir (boner\ of the Billings booster chat) our friends the boosters have all •stets of dreams. Following like feasts it is always considered advisable as precautionary to imbibe more or leas freely of one of the many properly pre- paret laxative preparations.

Jerry Rounder, in • the 1mtrotidn SIntidsird. sea 4 a-teaSeaSee-a-teaeateasa-ae-teaeateaSe0+ Text -\It is always our neighbor's boy that is the bail boy,\ Said the Rev. Jerry Rounder: \I have been asked if I couldn't may same - thing that might bring about tw ha - movement in the bays and lead their parentsIo a realizing sense of how hid and how mach of a nuisance they are getting to be in this town. I like boys, but I must miaow; that I think they are pressing the limit in this community in the way of mischief. I have often wished that boys either could not. throw Au straight or that they would choose some other mark than the stain- ed glass windows of this tabernacle. I am sorry to see that some of the boys have even been guilty of patty larceny as well as malicious mischief. and there are equip who aspire to become bey burp/hire \Everybody I have talked with on the subject of the buys agree that there are lots el real had boys here. but I have not yet fonnd any one who will admit the possibility of hie or her own boy being one them. It is always the neighbor's bay that is the had boy. Once upon a time I had a hamnux* slung in my buck yard in which I nee] to repose in the cool of the evening after my arduous duties in watching the game out to the hall park. The hammock suddenly turned up missing: I told ins tronbles• to the lady who lives next door and she commiserated with me very deeply. and expressed her belief that the hammock had be stelen by some of those \awful boys.\ The pokicemir traced the banamock to -- a pawn shop --Incredible as it may seem -and this neighbor's boy was identified as the lad who pawned it. That dear woman, however, was never convinced that it was her dear Willie who pawned the hamaitx:k: she believes to this day that it ISTLL4 all a dire and in- famous conspiracy. There has been a coolness between our families ever since, and, worse than that, the dear Woman even changed her religious beliefs, withdrew from the Rounder tabernacle and joined another church. \Buys will be boys. and I suppose we should all keep foremost in our mind that we used to be boys once ourselves and did some things that were not just right. A few years after I had grown up I used to think that I was a mat. bad boy when I was a kid terribly had boy. Yet I can't remember now , of ever having stolen anything except mime green corn once, and I repented for that years ago. I repented of it before my father got me half way to the barn. \I tell you those were good old days, even though we did get licked when we were disobedient or mischievous. Pardon me if I seem to disgress, bat 1 wish to. say that I have observed marked degeneracy in the boys who ' play baseball hi our streets. In the old days. we used to play baseball with our bite hands, and the kid who didn't have a 'baseball finger' was ; never happy until he got one. Nowadays • the kids all wear mitts, everyone of them. You will sometimes see a 6 -year -old boy wearing a regular pillow on his hand. We used to consider it a mark of courage never to flinch from the hardest or the swiftest thrown ball; if we couldn't catch it we would muff it bravely. We w mid make a brave stab at it. Nowadays if you toss a bail to a kid without his mitt on he will dodge it sure; he wont even attempt to stop it with his hare hands. Thus have the times degenerated! \It was always may ambition as a kid to . be wrecked on a desert island. It was that to which I most aspired, hut my wish has never been gratified. From 'Swiss Family Robinsen,' •Robinsoa Crusoe,\Mysterious Leland' and 'Treas. ure ' \I used to dreada also -when I was a kid -about finding a cave of solid gold out in the Rocky mountains. I would lie awake'nights after day dreaming' ab nit that cave of gold, and about digging the gold, and buying a Shet- land pony and a bowie knife and lay- ing the balance down at the feet of my p ur but honest • parents. I used to pick out in my school geography the very spot in the Rocky mountains wliere I deemed the gold cave was lo- cated, and I think it maid not haVe been very far from here. But I have never hunted for it and I have long since ()eased to dream aheut it, \Those days are gone -the days of Jack Harkaway, the green corn feasts in the bonfire in the woods, 16 copper - toed shoes, the days of those m.iiwitrous sized coffee cap -snow sa shamefully oat of date, the sausage and liackwheat cakes awl maple syrup, the play rooin in the attic, the fishing and tha swim- ming linle and the old echo 1 hairie. I am druid the boys of the preeeat day don't have as good times as we used to have, and I am certain that they don't gat licked as mach. We old fellease course, used to do wrong sometimes when we wore kida.but I have a dis- tinct recollection that when we did wrong we were panished fer it. Moral snadon is all right, but it has its limits. There is a genuine need of mere bilking in this town. \If errery parent would 40 his daty by his child, and not act as if he were afraid to punish him when he 4 14st wrong, that would improve the general average of no boy. If we %weld all take care of our beys we wonhl find that there %wield be much lem» domaae done by our neighbor's boys in our neighborhood. \I agree with the propoeitioo that it is not right to be teu hard on the boys, But it strikes me that too great sever- ity towards the youngster* is tot the fault of this town. Oar great fault is not too much panishment. hot too little of it. I tun of the inusn•ssion that there are very few children wh ! get more punishment than they deserve. and I am sure there are it whole her of them who don't get enough.
