The picturesque names of the early
Montana are passing away, like the
prospector and the cowboy, remarks
the Great Falls Leader. The latest to
pass is that of Ubet, erstwhile home
of the Indian and the cowboy—the
Mother BarrowB, dispenser of true
western hospitality. More than a
quarter of a century ago, considerably
more, it was that Ubet was located
upon the map of northern Montana.
Located in the Judith Gap, Ubet made
a convenient half-way place from any-
where to anywhere, and the hotel, one
Baloon, one blacksmith shop, and in
time one store, did a thriving busi-
ness; investigation of the early his-
tory of Ubet would reveal a number
of punctuation marks of .45 size, but
no one thought the less of Ubet for
that in the early time.
And now comes an order from the
post office department that Ubet as
an official handle wherewith to direct
United States mail is no more from
here the name of Ubet drops down
and out of the government directory
and the new town of Judith Gap takes
the postal cards. True, Judith Gap
is not a name to be sneezed at, but

A Card From Alamo
To my friends and customers. It
has been reported to me that some one
made the following statement to the
Farmers Union at the Block school
house that I was taking from each
sach of meal that I sold from one to
two lbs. I will say that whoever this
party may be, that he is a base liar
and an imposter.
Best wishes to the Farmers Union
but beware of false prophets insheep's
clothing.

very high at the time, he piled it up
and the following season put forty-
six acres to corn which yielded
ti teen bushels to the acre. He sold
some of this to the very neighbors
who jeered and jeered, for from 45 to
75 cents, the market price, and this
year since the price has been around
the 75 mark, not onlv people from
his neighborhood bought corn from
him, but load after load of the grain
was hauled as far west as Hooker
and other distant points. The peo-
ple have ceased jeering and Mr. Byr-
nes is receiving such pay for his

What's "White Coffee?"
Being a waiter In a Jewish restau-
rant where there weren't many folks
who couldn't understand his native
tongue, the man got along all right
until he struck a party of two who
were just investigating. By dint of
pointing to things and taking chances
the pair made a meal of it until they
came to the coffee.
They didn't want small «ups. When
they pointed out coffee on the bill of
fare they indicated with their hands
large cups. But here the waiter was
equipped with English, and he was
bound to show it.
I "Oh, yes, white coffee," he re-
marked.

for coffee with cream.
