PROSPEROUS PLAINS
PROGRESSING
COLONEL MCGOWAN REVIEWS
CONDITIONS IN MISSOULA'S
WESTERN NEIGHBoR.

Colonel MCGOWAN was i'm town last
night from Plains on business er-
rand that left him little time to talk,
but he gave a minute to a Missouiian
man who asked him how things are
in Plains and her valley.
Plains said the colonel, "is in
the midst of period of active build
ing and substantial progress. The town
rs going ahead at splendid rate:
there are many buildings in course of
erection and all of them are perma-
nent and substantial There has been
more building in the town this year
than in any previous year of our his
tory. The new public school building
Is nearing completion and the bust
ness center of the town is being built
of brick. All Of the old buildings that
were around the hotel have been torn
down or removed: the hotel itself has
been moved tn a new site. and where
it stood is the new building Of the
McGnwan Commercial company. This
is as nearly fireproof as we can make
1t and it will be used for purely com
merciaI purposes. We are eliminating
the danger from fire as thoroughly as
fstSslhlst anu the Nbfh Is
the appearance of our business streets
very much.
In addition tn this construction
there have been good many fine resi-
dcnces built this summer and there
are more in course Of construction
right now. The work of installing the
new electric light plant is getting along
pretty well, and there will be no bet
ter lighted town than Plains when the
plant is in operation. The pole lines
are being set now and the current viii
be ready by the time the circuits are
completed.
our harvesting Is finished and the
threshing machines are at work. This
rain reached us and if it doesn't con-
tinue too long win do lot of good.
The hay crop in the valley win be
more than 1000 tons, and the wheat
yield Is the largest we have ever
known The smallest yield that has
been reported yet, as the threshers
have completed their work, is AZ BASH
els to the acre; / have heard that
there has been some of the wheat that
has gone as high as So bushels, but
am not sure of this figure. You can
state. however, that it is the finest
wheat yield. all in all. that Plains has
ever had
The growth Of grain has been so
rank this year that the straw is ex-
ceptionally heavy. and this has made
the thrcshing slower than usual, but
these are three steam machines at
work in the valley this week and they
are making a good showing: the grain
will all he sacked before long.
"other crops are good and the farm
ers are just as prosperous as we peo-
pie in town. There will be abundance
In our valley this fall beyond all

made some pretty good showings in

RISK ALMOST GETS HIS
QU|ETUs At LAFAYETTE

Lafayette, Ind, Nov. 1s.-Because in
the recent city election he worked
openly against George r. Durgan, the
successful democratic candidate for
mayor, and espoused the cause of his
business partner. Henry B. Overesch.
the republican candidate, the Jackson
club of this city at meeting last even
ing undertook to Gust James X Risk
from the organization. Risk has been
a leading member of the club for years
and has been a prominent figure at its
numerous banquets. After the last
democratic state convention Risk and
Mayor Durgan had a quarrel. which
opened breach between them that has
never since been bridged.
Risk. who is still democratic dis
trict chairman of the tenth congress
sional district. was candidate for
state chairman and had a following of
supporters from this county. He was
defeated and following this disappoint-
ment he had his quarrel with Mayor
Durgan. Later he went into the insur-
ance business with Overesch.
When the city election campaign
opened and Overesch began his cam
paign Risk supported his partners can
didacy. His democratic friends pro-

tested, but he declared he had right
to stand by his partner. When the
campaign was at it's height Risk pub
lished a statement in the newspapers
stating that his objection TO Durgan
was based on moral grounds.
The democrats became bitter toward
Risk. declaring that he had used I'M
fair means to help the republican cause.
They accused him of betraying all the
secrets he had learned as democratic
chairman, and they were especially an
cry because he worked against the
democratic ticket while holding the po-
sition of district democratic chairman.
At the Jackson club meeting resolu-
lions were presented congratulating
Mayor Durgan on his victory and cen
surfing Risk for his conduct. also de-
claring him expelled from the club.
There was a discussion of the resolu-
tions, and Mayor Durgan asked that
such part of the resolutions as referred
70 Risk and his expulsion be omitted.
This was finally agreed on and the
resolutions went through without any
reference to the part Risk played in
the campaign.
Risk, therefore. is still a member OF
the Jackson club and is still the district
chairman of the democratic party.

Especial to THE TINES. }

East Chicago. Ind. Nov IA live
eagle was found yesterday by Billy"
West and Ed Schnicker while walking
through the woods near Clark Station.
The eagle offered no resistance to cap

The two men carried their prize to East
Chicago. where they measured it and
found it to measure five feet from tip to
tip.
TIL eeagle was sprawling on the
ground not far from the road in a wood
ed district between Clark Station and
the E.. J. & E. tracks. The men were
attracted by its fluttering. and on ap
preaching saw that it was disabled.
They thought it had been shot. but
could find no evidence of its having
been wounded IN this manner and came
to the conclusion that it had been in
a fight with another big bird or some
animal.

An accident which might have been
considerably more serious resulted last
night when a northbound street car
struck the W. C. Belman automobile, at
the corner of Holman and Williams
streets.
The rear left wheel was demolished,
it having been caught just as the ma
chine was about to turn out of the
street car track. Nobody was SER

Mr.. Belman has had his machine only
a short time, and still considers him
self very much OF an amateur driver.
No report of the accident was made
at the police station.
Another accident was narrowly
averted this afternoon when a horse
standing in front Of Humphreys store.
on State street, took fright at a Brush
machine in which a couple were driv-

den stop a mishap was avoided.
