+lb ITIE HARDIN THILUNE •. VOL. III NO 50. HARDIN, YELLOWSTONE COUNTY, MONTANA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER t6, $2.00 PER YEAR. Bachellor Club Items Our club is getting extrava- gant. The meat bill for this week has been 6 cents per day for each against that of 5 cents per day of last week. We think our expences will be less this week than last for Guy Logan has learned to make his cake and apple sauce come out even. Gee, you just ought to see Guy lap up that applesauce. C. C. Calhoun says he didn't vote against admitting ladies to the club. He affirms that he always did like the ladies but somehow, until lately, the ladies did not seem to understand him. Good luck Cal. Whit Peden is an awful predic- iment. The new hair he is grow- ing on the bald spot on his head does not match with that little ring about his ears. Hair doesn't grow the same colcsr in Montana as in old \Mizoo.\ - John Scott tells us that he is also taking meat from his board- ing house and swears he doesn't touch a bite of that brought from the club by his father. We are now wondering if they haven't taken a boarder. Who can it be? We could tell something awful ab )ut Harry DeTuncq but as he is the \Devil\ at the Tribune office we know it would not find its way to print. Any one want- ing to know adout his record can find out by calling at the club any evening after supper. He may be like the setting Sun under a dark cloud, or a_ bum driver for a sleighing party, spill his coffee on our ne'w table linen, scratch matches on the wall, lie oil the couch overtime, refuse to clean the girl's shoes or object to lady visitors, but outside of this Thomas Marland is a pretty decent fellow. Ed Torske ,has committed an awful crime. (Talk about your .women haters, etc., well we don't believe it to be true.) The facts are Ed only ate seven pieces of cake and then complimented our cook on her fine corn bread. Then in his effort to square himself he ate three pieces more of cake braging all the time on its super- ior quality. However, the cook didnot swattow the dope. Our cook is a dandy. She has our appetite sized up to a gnats heel--cooks just eneugh and not a drop more. If we want to take a friend to lunch we have to call her up 30 minutes before time and notify her so she can put more water in the soup. The other evening two ladies crne unex- pectedly for 6 o'clock dinner and some one had to lay off so the company could have steak. The cook tried to work Marland and Eder but they were not so easy, however, a compromise was reached by giving them 10 cents each to let the meat alone.

The guests were first engaged in the game of \Hearts\ for which prizes were offered. The Consolation Prize, going to Miss Cooksey, was a \Ginger -bread Man,\ the first prize went to Miss Becker and was in the nature of a decided surprise. It was a card, on which in happy rhyme, was written the announcement of Miss Acker - man's engagement to Mr. Ralph B. Peck of this city. After congratulations snd good wishes had been expressed the guests were seated at a beauti- fully decorated table upon which a delicious luncheon was served. Burning Candles told the for- tunes of those seated arourd the table and as a consequence we are promised six more weddings within the corning year. At five o'clock the guests de- parted wishing Miss Ackerman all happiness in her future life For useful Christmas presents go to the Eder Hardware. Unique Display One of the most novel displays of Christmas goods to be found anywhere is to be seen at the Peden Store. The affair is a ten , arrangement made of white lined with red. From the lining is suspended samples of their large line of handkerchiefs, which pre- sents a very pleasingseffect. Or the_flear_ is to be seen non:Ion:NIS- articles nicely arranged that would make any friend a credit- able Christmas present. The af- fair was designed and arranged by Mrs. Peden. Re -opens Eating House A. Barton late of Olerich,S.D., has leased the Knudson building in which the Hardin cafe was conducted throw h the summer months, and has opened \The Dew Drop Inn.\ The house will be run on the short order bases and meals will be served between the hours of 6:30 a. m. and till 12 O'clock at night. Mr. Bar - ton's ambition is to give his pa- trons a clean wholsome meal and all he asks is to be given a trial. What one should buy for Christmas presents is what every one is thinking about just now. Useful presents are always ap- propriate. Silver knives and forks, table and tea spoons, butter knives, carving sets, perc- olators, cut glass ware, lamps, scissors, pocket knives, safety razors, skates, sleds, etc. As the holidays approach the stock from which you have to choose grows less so you should make ycur selections now, and you can find no larger assortment of useful articles where the prices are al- ways right than at the Eder Hardware. of Commerce Meeting Well Attended Elect Officers and Transact Much Important Business—Commit- tees 'Appointed to Inveetihate Freight Rates and Decide Matter of Holding a Fair The Chamber of Commerce met at the office of Johnston & Tupper on Tuesday evening and held an interesting session. The meeting was one of the best at- tended meetings held during the year and there was a marked in- terest manifested throughtut the entire sessia's After the reading of the min- utes of the previous (meeting the officers serving the past year were re-elected without opposi- tion for another year. Among other commu nication read was that from Thomas H. Carter regarding the proposed bridge over the Big Horn. Dr. Richards had written Senator Carter regarding this matter tel- ling him of the many advanta- es of the bridge and asking him tor his co-operation in our effort to secure the government appro- priation which we had been promised. Be received a prompt reply an inclosed the following which is a copy of a letter wrif- ten the department on behalf . of the bridge question: A sals from the respective counties in definite form. Th, amount of the contribution called for on the part of the Indian office could be with propriety taken from the general funds of the tribe or from the reclamation fund which belongs to the Crows. It seems that the benefit of the bridge would be so pronounced as to be an almost indespensible feature of the successful prose- eetion of farming operations on the irrigable lands. Very truly yours. THOS. H. CARTER. H. C. Null read several com- munications from a number of the Burlington officials whom he had writen regarding this bridge, stating that they would gladly co-operate in any way possible to assist in securing the desired structure. The matter of freight rates were taken up and Mr. Null read a communication _ showing the difference in rates between the N. P. and the Q. to eastern points. The N. P.'s rate to Du- luth was 21c less than that el the Q. The rate to St. Paul v.ee 16 cents in favor of the N. P. A committee was appointed to take the matter up and try to secure a more cornpetive rate. It was decided that the Cham- ber of Commerce should assist in getting out the proposed fold- er and that they should furnish material for a Hardin and a Big Horn valley page. It . was also decided to get out 5,000 ,folders to be ready for distribution be- fore the land show which is to take place in Omaha Jan. 18, where the folders will be taken for distribution. The plan of Hardin holding a fair this coming fall was placed before the meeting and a cc m- rnittee. wassappointed to take the -matter under advisement.

C. , Dec.5, 1910. Hon. R. A. Ballinger, Secretary of the Interior, Washington, D. C. My Dear Sir: I beg leave to call your special attention to the desire of the au- thorities of the counties of Yel- lowstone and Rosebud, in the state of Montana, to have a bridge constructed across the Big Horn river at a point about 7 miles south-east of Hardin, on the line of the C. B. & Q. road. This bridge when constructed will furnish an outlet for the In- dians under the large irrigation canal on the east side of the Big Horn, which section now has no outlet except by a long and difficult road over the foot- hills Indians will raise grain, very largely, on the irrigated lands in quesiion, and as Hardin will fur- nish the natural market station the bridge is apparently indis- pensible as a means of reaching that station. The grade from the Indian farm lands to Hardin via the proposed bridge would be level, or at most only a gentle in- cline from the station to the lands; or, in other words, it would be a downhill pull from the fields to the station, whereas the Indian can now only reach the market by going over the hills to the Crow Ageecy. The authorities of the coun- ties named agree to contribute their proportion of the total sum for construction, which will amount as I understand it to $28,500, or, in other words they offer to put in $18,500 if the In- dian department will contribute Johnston & Tupper Hints For Package Senders Various postmasters through- out the country are n aking sug- gestions to the patrk as of their offices regarding the sending of Christmas mail. They are all urging that the packages be gotten off as early as possible in order to avoid the great final rush. Assistant Neeley at the Butte office recent said, \Too much stress cannot be laid on the correct way to wrap and address parcels s( nt ; hough the mails. Parcels to be sent to points in this country must be securely wrapped and should have the senders name and address on them. In the week. event of the address beingeein- Superintendent W. W.
