• 4 .1 5 THE 11 LIMAN TRIBUNE VOL. III NO 44. -HARDIN, YELLOWSTONE COUNTY, MONTANA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, £910. $2.00 PER YEAR. Midland Commercial Club Meets Here Billings, Laurel and Broadview Clubs Represented—Interesting Business Session—Luncheon Served by Ladies Circle Delegates Shown Valley The Central Commercial Club held their monthly meeting at Hardin Tuesday November 1st. The club is composed of repre- sentatives of most of the Com- mercial clubs of eastern Monta- na and is formed for the purpose of securing joint action of all these clubs on all matters pertaining to the settlement and the development of the - country. Its meetings have been held once a month at the various towns represented and last_ Tuesday it fell to the lot ot the Hardin Chamber of Commerce to enter- tain them. The imclemnancy of the weather prevented a very large attendance from outside places but important measures were taken up at the business meeting among which was the getting up of the descriptive cir- culars advertising the country. A resolution was also passed at the request of the Hardin repre- sentatives instructing the secre- tary to write our Senators and Representative requesting their ernest co-oporation and assist- ance in matters of the opening of the Crow reservation and in securing the denied assistance of the Interior pepartment towards the erection of a bridge over the Big Horn river near Hardin. It was decided to hold the next meeting at Billings after which adjournment was taken for luncheon. This was served by the Ladies Circle at the Hardin hotel, the use of the dining room there being kindly permitted by Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Bren- nan. No praise could be too great for the manner in which the luncheon was served. The tables were decorated with bas- kets made of pumpkins and filled with fruit and altogether presented an appearance to please the eye of the most fas- tidious while the most pronoun- ced epicure could have found no criticism to pass upon the dinner itself. After dinner at the request of the chairman Mr. Burla recount- ed for the benefit of the visitors the natural resources of the country surrounding Hardin and the extent of the tributary terri- tory. He compared it with other irrigated sections including Twin Falls, Idaho. the advantage of the comparison being, he said, all on the side of Hardin. Mr. E. B. Camp, president of th2 Central Commercial Club was the next speaker aid d velt upon the growth of Hardin in its short career. He advised the business men and farmers to work to- gether for the good of the coun- try forgetting all minor differ- ences and showing a united front in all things where the interests of the country were at stake. Dr. Suddith gave an interest- ing speech on the value of alfalfa. The bench land he said was peculiarly suited for its raising and that it was a crop the value of which was only beginning to be realized. As a forage it is best balanced ration we have, and by attention to the most economical methods of preparing and feed- ing would be a greater income producer to the farmer than any- thing else. He urged the raising of it and the establishment of an alfalfa mill. Mr. F. J. Arkins of the Billings Daily Gazette urged the need of more eastern advertising of East- ern Montana. He said that the man who puts up the best story always lands the customer and therefore the part of the country that talks best to the land hungry people of the more eastern states will be the part which will get the settlers. It is no use he said having the advantages which we have if we do not tell the people bark east about it. Use printers ink he urged and bring out the people to cultivate our land and populate our cities. Mr. Brockway of Laurel spoke of the profits to be obtained by orcharding from his experience around Laurel. Mr. Fudge also of Laurel endorsed Mr. Brock - way's remarks. Mr. C. C. Beaver indorsed all that had been said about publicity and urged those present to take it to heart. Messrs. W. J. Scott, V. B. Mc- Comb and the Rev. Marshall also spoke along the same lines and after passing a vote of thanks to the ladies for their warm hospi- tality the meeting adjourned. During the afternoon the dele- gates were taken for a ride around the valley and left on the evening train much impressed with the country and loud in their praises of the entertain- ment Hardin had provided for them. School Notee James. Ferguson and Yewell Sights started to school Monday. Hazel Tomson after attending school for a week has left with the Tomson Troupe. Otto Rousseau and John Mc- Donah have been doing the jan- itor work at school for the past few days. The Basket Ball is here and the Eighth Grade expect to play on the grounds near the new school building. Flola Bateman entertained a. few of the girls Saturday after- noon from three until five. Light refreshments were served. Halloween was very quiet. There was little damage done, which shows that our class of children is somewhat superior to that of some other towns. The pupils of the Hardin school are very anxious that the work on the new school building be hastened, otherwise we may become ice statues if the ther- mometer decends much lower. Monday Eve Floyd and Otto Rousseau gave a Halloween party. There were about thirty- five in attendance. The house was prettily decorated with Jack- 0- Lanterns. Witches called and told the fortunes of the guests, same of which were very amus- ing. The evening was spent in playing games. A bountiful luncheon was served after which every one repaired to their several homes, tired but happy. Remember Gibson Bros. sell the famoes coffee, roasted by the Woolson Spice Co., the largest coffee house in the world. Apex leads them all. dence among the members and the guests were confronted with unexpected experiences on every hand. Jack- o- lanterns furnished the lights during the fore part of the affair which assisted much in producing an uncertain atmos- phere, but which was not with- out a very pleasing effect. At about 9:30 a seven` course dinner was served, which baring the third course which was large- ly \faith and imagination\ and was prepared especially for the benefit of the guests, would have done justice to a kings banquet. After luncheon the uncertainties that were so much in evidence before the spread entirely vanish- ed and the remainder of the eve- ning was spent in playing games and all present agreed that they could not have enjoyed them- selves more. The guests were the husbands of the married mem- bers of the club. The club plans on holding these luncheons once a month to which gentlemen guests may be invit- ed. If the affair of Monday ev- ening is a criterian of those in the future the fellow receiving an invitation can consider him- self a \lucky dog\ and cannot afford to miss attending. On Monday at about 9 p. m. Last CI ance to Learn Facts Able Republicans Will Discuss Issue Saturday Evening George E. Snell and J. H. Johnston of Billings will address the voters of Hardin on Saturday evening, Nov. 5th, at the Becker Hall on the political issue. Both speakers are of the Progressive type of Republicans and are well qualified to present the cause of the party. You are specially urged to attend this meeting and hear fscts that will help to put you right on the subject. SOCIAL EVENTS OF WEEK One of the many pleasing Hal- loween entertainments enjoyed in Hardin was that given by the Misses Mary Sweeney and Fan- nye Hanly at the home of Miss Pearle McLaughlin on Monday evening. Some fifteen invited guests assembled at about eight o'clock and for several hours proceed to entertain themselves in various ways to the delight of all present. As the time for de- parture drew near light refresh- ments were served, after which the assembly is reported to' have betaken themselves to the streets of Hardin where they proceeded to see what changes in the staid arrangements of the town might a be judiciously made and not dam- age anyone's interests. This they accomplished in royal style and after visiting the morning train and other interesting sights the crowd grew weary and finally dispersed. The Ladies' Commercial club held their monthly luncheon at i the home of Mrs. A. L. Mitchell last Monday evening and a very pleasing evening was spent. As the date of the luncheon the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. E. Gay was invaded by a large crowd of Halloween ghosts, which would have done justice in appearance to those in the days of Ichabod Crane, who proceeded to take command of the affairs of the home and ran things in their own style for the entire evening. For some little time after the assembling of the party each one present spoke , a lan uage foreign to themselves and every one present and the visitors succeeded in establishing a thoroughly ghostly atmosphere. However, after this practice had lasted for some time the masks were removed and Mr. and , Mrs. Gay found themselves surround- ed by some thirty of their friends who had cleverly planned the affair without their knowledge and their surprise can hardly be imagined as up to this time they had not been able to recognize one of the intruders. After the removal of the masks the even- ing was spent in playing all the games that have been played since the days of Columbus and a thoroughly good time was en- joyed by all. The visitors had provided a huge basket of good things to eat and a jug which is fell on Halloween the spirit of alleged to have been filled with mischief was very much in evi- cider furnished bounteous re- freshments for all present. Mr. and Mrs. Gay wish to ex- press their appreciation of the affair and say that they ntwer more thoroughly enjoyed them- selves. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Burla, C. V. Gibson, L. R.

Bair Severly Criticised— Pays Tribute to Senator Dixon The Democratic meeting held in Hardin last Saturday called forth a large crowd who proved Ix' be attentive listeners to the argument produced by the speakers. Gwen F. Burla presided over the meeting. In introducing the first speaker, W. B. George, Mr. Burla called the attention of those present to the gentlemen's record, and sighted various move- ments that had been for the up - building of this county wherein Mr. George had played a promin- ent part. Fdlowing Mr. Burla's remarks Mr. George came forward and perhaps an hour or more extroll- ed himself and the Democratic party. In commencing he paid a very fine tribute to Mr. Burla, praising him as a business man and as one that could always be depended upon to advance what he believed to be the best inter- ests of the community in which he lived. He then proceeded to review the proposed reforn - s which the Democratic party ace making their campaign on and in every instance endeavored to leave the impression that all that was necessary to secure them was to send him to Helena as state senator this fall and the re- forms were ours. He spoke of the good road movement (his pet hobby), the proposed reform in the banking laws, and the need of a primary election system, and the re -apportioning of our repre- sentatives which would result in giving Yellowstone county equal representation with the other counties. At the close of Mr. George's remarks the chairman. Mr. Burla, presented the matter to the vot- ers of this county being called upon to vote a fund to equip a county poor farm. Mr. Burla stated that he thought that the equipping of a poor farm would save the county from six to seven thousand dollars annually and that eventually the farm would no doubt be self supporting. At the present time it costs Yellow- stone county $10,000 annually to care for its poor. He called the attention to those present to the fact that the voting of this money asked by the commissioners, would not increase the taxes, explaining that there was already a large portion of the fund in the treasury, but what the commis- sioners wanted was to have the privilege to use the money for that purpose. He then introduc- ed Mr. Johnston of Billings. Mr. Johnston is a bright at- torney and did not fail to use all his a!:ility in pushing the inter- ests of the party he represented. One of the first things he did was to commend the platform of the Republican party adopted at the state convention held at Missoula. He then paid tributes to all the leading Progressive Republicans Of the nation, not forgetting our own Senator Dixon. In fact he had a tenden- cy to avoid the issue and confin- ed his remarks to the discrediting individuals. Senator Thomas H. Carter, C. M. Bair and all others who have ever had any public relations with either gentlemen were scored to a finish. Carter was his text and he never got away from it- He evidently imagined that the large assembly present had come together to listen to scandal in plac3 of hear- ing a clean political talk. Unless they did they were surely dis- appointed. At the close of his talk Mr. Burla expressed his appreciation of the good attendance of the meeting and announced that the entire audience was requested to main and enjoy themselves as guests of the Democratic Central Committee in a social dance. A large portion of the gather ac- cepted the invitation and a good time was had. Pride of Sheridan flour is our hobby.&Gibson Bros. Hardin Gets Publicity During the past year the Sec- retary of the local Chember of Commerce, A. L. Mitchell. has repeatedly written the officials of Burlington railway regarding Hardin and the Big Horn valley getting some publicity through the medium of railroad advertis- ing. Through his efforts some three or four pages of their late folder was given to Hardin and the country surrounding, many thousands of which has been dis- tributed throughout the south and east. Just the other day he received a copy of an ad the company is running in a num- ber of Kansas and Nebraska papers in which the people are advised to stop at Sheridan, Har- din or Billings. This is the first time that Hardin has been given recognition in this way by this company and we predict that it will pay a result. Maise famous comforts at Gib- son Bros.'
