Camhlin, died February 20 at Wallace, Idaho, of pneumonia following influenza. The young man is well remembered at Weston, where, he vu!i employed about nine years ago in Jarmnn's store.'

In the Blues there in little or no snow as far east as thc sawmill, when it is often several feet deep at this time. Snow to a depth of efjfht feet was reported last week at the summit, but the. usual winter depth .up there is 12 or li feet. Streams are run ning a much smaller volume of water tha usual in February, and it is re ported that dry soil is encountered in fields and gardens at a depth of 10 or 12 inches. Needing a snow blanket, the fields have been bare. and grain has suffered from frosty nights. All in all, the end of Feb ruary finds the crop and weather out look lacking in promise, although old J. Pluve yet has ample time in which to turn loose and redeem tho situation. Most farmers arc yet in doubt as to how much ground, if any, they will have to resced.

Mr. Halseth, our new furnishings goods man, won first prize in thc State of Montana in a contest based on cor rectness of measurements and de scription of men's made-to-measure suits for one of the big eastern houses. This means that he has fitted suits bet ter than any other Montana agent. He will measure your suit for either M. Born & Co. or Lamm & Co and secure for you the satisfaction you desire in your spring suit. We have a big surprise waiting for you relative to your spring suit or coat. Watch for further information. The investigators are after the profit eers like a pack of hounds after a poor rabbit; and when they get one they find a merchant has sold a dangerous stvle shoe for 100 percent profit. And what of it? They do not state that very likely he has sold six pair of thi. one-dozen lot for 25 percent of the cost. Regular shoes like you and I buy are marked at about the same margin of profit the country over cheaper at the Weston Mercantile Co. One must look higher up for the II. C. L. remedy. Mrs. Rabb writes uslhat she is per sonally superintending the making of hats for our store; that they will be ready very, soon and arc a choice se lection. There is one for YOU in this lot.

It is unfortunate that with thc vast amount of money expended . to educate the Indian, he cannot be taught some of the practical, real, worth-while things of life.
