We trust they will find that something here has Teen help to them and that they will come back again to learn more useful lessons from the little colony of white in structors.

Some of the northern Montana
boosters who attended the state fair
with the Louis Hill excursionists from

the Helena authorities. According to
q story brought from Helena by the
returning deleg ates, two boosters from
Harlem travelled at such q swift pace
that their presence in the police court
was demanded.
1t appears that the Offenders we're
occupants of an automobile that was
given q run on one of the Helena
streets, and the machine travelled at q
rate which q policeman declared was
in excess of the speed limit. The ap.
pearance of the chauffeur and the two

Lincoln Working was the result.
There was q conflict Of opinion as
to the speed at which the automobile
was being run, and the defense also
pleaded that the high altitude and the
general exurberance of the occasion
should count In their favor. The

charge, and the boosters resumed
their boosting.

A Grist Of Items Gathered From OuI
Northern Montana Exchanges.


Chester Newspaper: One Of the
sheep herders for Martin Wasesha
was accidentally shot in the arm while
going out through the door to see
what q disturbance vas among the
sheep. He had a gun in his hand and
in some way it caught and was die.
charged. He was taken to Galata
where the injured arm was dressed.
Chester Democrat: S. J. McMasters
reports striking q good aow of water
on his farm just northeast of town, at
140 feet, with 50 feet of water. Almost
dsily reports are coming In from the
country that water has been struck at
reasonable depths, and it is the belief
that the water problem has been solv.
ed for this section of the country.
Chinook Opinion: A balloon as-
cension every day will be one of the
attr actions of the Chouteau County
fair here this year. B. N. Wilbur.
the aeron aut, who was at Great Falls
last week at the fair there has been
engaged to appear here each day of
the Chouteau County fair. The exhi.
bition was q fret class attraction at
Great Falls and should prove q great
feature here.
Culbertson Republican: Henry Oel-
kers dug q we'll recently on his farm
16 feet deep, and got 10 feet of the fn-
est kind of water, having struck a
spring which apparently Ia inexausti-
BILE. A little experimenting at differ
ent places on ones premises will often
get a better we'll and be less expensive
than going so deep at one place. He
had previously gone 100 feet near by
this we'll without finding any water at
all.
Malta Enterprise: The new corners
who are bringing their cattle with
them from eastern points, some of
which have to be hauled from the
railroad in wagons, and who have ar
rived too late to put up hay, ought to
lose no time in finding some rancher
with q good hay stack to winter their
stock for them, as the grazing under
present conditions will be somewhat
precarious. especially for uuaclimated
stock.
Valerian: o. w. Duffy, superinten.
dent of construction on the G. B. e.
O., with Offices at Gslesburg, ILL.,, ia
here On q brief visit. Mr.. Duffy owns
farm land and city property here and
will combine business and pleasure.
Mr.. Duffy scorns the idea that condi-
lions are dull in Waller and claims
that we are fortunate compared with
most places affected by the past dry
season. People here have been &C.
customed to 90 much Stir and activity
that normal conditions appear slug
gish when IN reality there is no cause
to complain.
