AMONG OUR NE|CHBORS,
A Grist Of Items Gathered From Our
Northern Montana Exchanges.

Chester Signal: The first ten days
of the new year have certainly not
tended to sustain our belief that we
lived in the banana belt. During the
first days the highest temperature re-
corded was about II degrees above
zero and the records show six nights
with q OF more degrees below with
very stiff wind blowing almost con.
stantly.
Chinook Opinion: The increase in
the attendance at the Chinook schools
Is much larger than at the sam per-
iod last year, SO much SO In fact that
it has been decided that another
teacher IL necessary. After the mid.
year examinations which come soon.
either the seventh or eighth grades
will be moved into the room formerly
used by the band and q new teacher
hired to take charge.
Havre Herald: Much to the SUR
prise of Havre people news was re.
celved here the first Of the week that
Frank B. Churchill, the we'll known
jeweler, located ia the Havre hotel
block, had been declared q bankrupt
At Helena on January 2. MI. Church.
Ill has not decided a. to whether or
not he will resume business here, but
many friends will hope that he may
make satisfactory arrangements and
again resume.
Glasgow News: j. F. Kilduf, of
Malta, has begun suit for q, 900 dam
ages against VIM. Wofford. Through
some oversight Mr.. Kilduff let his
taxes go delinquent but sent down the
money to pay them before the delin-
quent list was published but by mis-.
take his nam vas not checked of,
hence his name appeared. For that
reason Mr.. Kilduff figures that his
standing in the community has been
injured and brings suit to recover for
the same.
Havre Plaindealer: Geo. w. Hall,
stock inspector, has resigned his po-
sition with the Montana Stock asso.
citation, the resignation to take effect
upon the meeting of the stock COM
missioners. Mr.. Hall has not been in
good health for some time and is now
in Columbus hospital, where he re.

operation will keep him confined in
the hospital for another month and
the physicians advised him that i,
would be impossible for him to ride
for at least a year.
Glasgow News: Reports from owe,
the country show that the range is ir
a deplorabIe condition. With the
heavy snow now IN the ground many
ranchmen will be unable to fee(
through. In some cases sheepmer
find it impossible to move their sheer
to hay which is stacked 1T a distance.
Some are now blowing in an effort tt
prolong their hay supply. If tn
streak of rust known as the Grea
Northern railroad will get freight t,
moving, much of the stock will b.
shipped to points where hay can b
obtained.
Chinook Opinion: The mining stu
alton 10 the Bear Paws remains uu
altered since last week. The partie

that there were apparently grea
values to be uncovered in that section
The parties who secured the prospee
