paid out to sheriffs and tax col
lectors in the shape Of fees. He
said he was more than willing
that the sheriff and tax collector
should have Il good salary, a
salary as large as a United States
Senator received, but that the
payment of a salary this size
would still leave more than 5000.
600 above what is now being paid
out, and that amount could be
diverted to the school fund. The
money derived from both these
sources, he said, would prolong
the public school term another
month. MI ASwell was applau-

Easy For G!endive.

The Glendive boys went down
to the little farming hamlet
known as Beach last Sunday to
show the farmers how to play
ball and accomplished their pur-
pose, although it has not yet
been shown whether the farmers
profited by being shown or not.
The Beach boys had strength
enaa their team with Sentinel
Dutte's fast pitcher but they
made the mistake Of rot getting
the small boy and the big tin
pan that so with him, and their
catcher had considerable to do
chasing balls that wouldn't seem
to stick in his mitt even though
placed there with much precision
and great force.
Rain came at the end Of the
sixth inning and Beach had {
scores and Glendive 6 with pros
poets Of the same proportion con
tinuing throughout the game
could it have been finished.

Narrow Escape From Drowning.

On Friday night few of the
section men became imbued with
the idea that a plunge in Beaver
creek at the dam below the de-
pot would result pleasantly and
accordingly four Of them went in.
The first two were good swim
mers and desported themselves
in the water with ease and no
doubt the other two boys, being
inexperienced, thought they
were touching bottom. Such
however, was not the case and
when Reuben Beelar, the first
one Of the last two to enter the
water, plunged in he Immediately
commenced to founder and sput-
,fer and soon sunk from sight.
The two good swimmers, Peter
Johnson and Helge Jordal, lost
no time in going to his rescue
and no sooner had they got him
safe on shore than the last man,
Ben Beelar, tried his fool luck
with much more serious results
When he plunged in the boys
who could swim were clear on
the other side of the creek and
had to swim a considerable dis
tance before they could reach him
and by the time they got there
he had sunk and was as neal
| drowned as ne or any other mar
will ever get and live to tell the
tale. However, the heroes res
cued him and he owes to then
his life and the fact that he il

Cloudburst Kills Two.

A cloudburst at Beaver, fifty
miles southeast of here, killed
two men and wrought great
damage to property last Satur-
day night. The two men killed
were Jimmie Boland and g man
by the name of Quinlan, both of
whom were employed in con-
struction work on the Milwaukee.
The tents and camps Of two Of
the contractors, Tobin and Gill;
land, were demolished and much
other property destroyed, j. G..
Stuart, a sheep man in that vicini-
ty, lost a considerable number OF
sheep but we are unable to learn
the exact number.
The river was the highest ever
known and it is reported that the
water was clear up to j. A. Fer-
rls' store in Medora on Monday.
About fifteen feet OF the rail
road track alongside the Little
Missouri river just west Of Me
dora slid out Monday night bu1
no damage resulted to trains as
the break was found in time t
prevent it.
The storm, which was accom-
panied by considerable. wind
seems to have been purely local
visiting only the vicinity of BeaV
er, but of course the high waite
and trouble at MedOra was a di
rect result Of it.

s%ideration. They do an enormous
amount of business. This brings
wealth to the city. IT is. therefore.
Important that they should be given

A world authority gives the follow
ing historical and explanatory ac-
count of Thanksgiving Day:
Thanksgiving Day is an annual
festival of Thanksgiving for the mer-
cies of the closing year. Practically.
it is n national harves festival, fixed
by proclamation of the. President and
the governors of states. and ranks as
"a legal holiday.
IN 1889 the Episcopal Church
formally recognized the civil
governments authority to ap-
point such a feast. and in 1888
the Roman Catholic Church also
decided to honor a festival which had
long been nearly universally obscrv-
ed-though nowhere with such Zest
as In the New England states, where
it ranks as the great annual family
festival. taking the place which In
England is accorded to Christmas.
The earliest harvest thanksgiving
in America was kept by the Pilgrim
Fathers ut Plymouth in 1921, ms
was repeated often during that n
the ensuing century. 1t became Gus
tomary, in fact, for the governors of
the colonies TO appoint Il fast day in
the spring and a day of Thanksgiving
in the autumn.
Congress recommended days of
thanksgiving annually during The
Revolution, ana in 1884 for the re-
turn Of peacc-as did President
Madison in 1878. Washington APP
pointed such i day in 1888 after the
adoption OF the constitution. and in
1895 for the general benefit and well
fare of the nation.
Since 1917 the festival has been
observed annually in New York. and
since 1868. when Lincoln set the
example, the Presidents have always
issued procIamutiona recommending
the observance Of the last Thursday
or November a. Thanksgiving Day.
This il always followed by proclama-
tons Of the various governors. who
alone have legal authority to declare
a holiday In their respective states"
After the manner OF suggestions
and recommendations by President
Roosevelt ana Governor Dawson in
their pr"clamations. the people OF
C~lnrkshtlrg may well Observe the dny,

the county to know whether the man
was murdered, and. If. so, those who
did it should be punished quickly. No
county can afford to permit cold
