The railroad commissioners made
their annual inspection trip over this

to know they had wen passed through
the town until after they had come and

The heavy smoke ladened sky which
has darkened and made obcure the day

reported as being caused by the dis
astrous forest fires that have been raging
in Montana, Idaho and other states
west of us and causing a terrible loss of
life and property.

Malta, Mont, where she filed on a home
stead near the farm of her brother,

Chief Of Police Morgan received a
telegram on Saturday afternoon from

Callahan had been killed in an accident.
Callahan was a cousin of Mrs. Morgan and

vious to moving to Montana some eight
years ago owned farm eight miles
east of Langdon, which he sold to J. b.
Arnold. He was a single man and had
brothers and sisters living in Ontario.
Details by letter are awaited by relatives
here as to when and where the funeral
will be held.
It is doubtless idle at this time to
write or talk of what Langdon needs in
the way of a new city hall, but the
necessity of several years that have
already rolled by in this line are once
again recalled by noting that Grand
Forks has called an election for the
purpose of taking a vote on the issuing
of bonds in the sum of 100000 for the
erection of a municipal building. If
Langdon people were called upon for an
opinion as to whether Langdon needs a
city hall, the vote favoring it would be
unanimous. Why not give this matter
a serious and business like consideration.
