pels Mr. Ross to quit this part of the

The hot. dry weather is not con-
tana but is effecting crops and condi-
tions alike in other parts of the
country. In some sections OF the
states east and south of here, crops
are suffering for rain. r. o. Osgood,
who has just passed through the AL
berta country so noted for it's produc-
tiveness, writes that homesteaders
are quitting their claims and dispos-
ing of their stock for provisions, oW-
ing to the extended heat and drouth;
that conditions are less favorable for
the ranchers there than here.
John Deach who came to Malta
in March of the present year from
Nora Springs, Iowa, and filed on a
claim twenty-five miles north OF
town, has discovered coal on his
land. The coal is Ignite and if the
deposit which covers an area OF about
twenty acres has any great depth to
1t, Mr.. Deach has certainly made
good by coming to Montana. Coal
has also been discovered on the
claims of o. W. Simonson, II. A.
johnson and others in the Langdon
settlement near the Deach home
stead.
Mrs. j. A. Townsend brought some
fine samples of barley and flax into
THE ENTERPRISE office Monday
morning. The barley was grown on
E. A. Southwick's homestead about
ten miles northeast of Malta Oh bench
land. The barley is of the bearded
variety, with stalks measuring 241a
inches in heighth, and heads inches
long and partially developed. The
fax was product of Mrs. Town
sends claim, also bench land,
was So inches tall and very thrifty
looking. One would think from an
examination of these dry land prod
ucts that the country had received
plenty of moisture.
Ezra Ereaux's ranch home was to-
tally destroyed by fire last Saturday
afternoon. 1t is thought the fire or
iginated in the bedroom and was
started by Mr.. EreauX's little daught-
er striking match and the flame
igniting the lace curtains. Mrs.
Ereaux and the maid were alone at
the time but succeeded in saving a
few articles of furniture. All their
clothing, including fur coats, and
other valuable home belongings were
entirely destroyed. A regrettable
feature of the loss is that no insur-
ance was carried. The family are
domiciled in the bunk house until an
other house can be built. Mr.. Ereaux
was in Malta Monday buying furni-
ture, clothing and groceries.
