COAL MINE FOR RYEGATE
Company Opening up Large Coal
Mine Near New Town splendid
Quality Of Coal.

Andrew Walker, mining engineer
from Ryegate, was in our city We'd
nesday. Mr.. Walker is one of the
head men of company which is at
present sinking a shaft within few
miles of Ryegate for a coal mine.
While talking with repre- sentative
of the News he said, "Work on the
mine has already commenced and the
81 aft is down 60 feet at the present
time. The coal is of superior quail
ity than the famous Roundup coal,
and has been tested by the Milwaukee
railroad in their engines, and was
found to be very satisfactory. The
company which is opening the mine
consists of citizens of Ryegate. A
mine at that place will mean consid-
cradle to Ryegate, which is already a
thriving little town.

A very interesting meeting of the
Club was held in the ODD
Fellow Hall last Monday night. Al
though there we're only few present,
many important things were brought
up and discussed.
1t was decided that letter be sent
to Senator Tooley stating that the
people OF Harlowton are not adverse
to having the experimental farm
moved to TWodot. HarloWton realizes
that an experimental farm is more
needed at our sister village than here,
since there is more government land
open around that place, and it also
realizes that which results ingoOd for
Twodot will also help Harlowton.
A. T. Anderson gave the report Of
the committee sent over 10 confer
with White Sulphur Springs. The
report was very interesting and con-
vinced the Harlowtonites more than
ever that they will come out victorious
in the county seat removal light.
Much discussion was caused on the
band question, all seeming to favor
an organization Of that nature. a
committee was appointed to have
charge of raising finances for the
band. The following are the com
mittees: Dick McQuittr, W. o.

A TIE GAME
Roundup and Harlowton Pull off
Good Game of Basket Ball SatLr-
day Fight.

A game of basket ball was played
here Saturday evening in the opera
house between Roundup and Harlow
ton. The game was hotly contested
one and resulted in a tie, q to q.
Only three of the Roundup team were
here so the locals had to furnish the
boys from the coal camp with two OF
their men. In the first half Allen
Ross and Ed. Britzius played with the
Roundupers and in the last half Allen
Ross and Frank Conwell helped them
out. William Cameron refereed the
game, and it was thought by all that
Billy handed out square deal to all.
The Roundup boys are a nice, clean
set, not only in their playing but
otherwise so, and the Harlowton boys
hope that they will be able to ar
range many more games in the near
future.
1t is understood that the returned
game will be played at Roundup Sat-
urday evening.

COMING SEASON
WILL BE PROSPEROUS
FROM PRESENT CROP OUTLOOK
PEOPLE or IOWADEs COUNTY ARE
SHOWING STRONG TENDENCY TOWARD
DIVERSIFIED FARMING

Mr.. r. S. Wilson in charge OF
the demonstration work of the
u. S. Department Of Agriculture
in Mississippi and Alabama has
been over a greater part of the
county the past week and states
that while the crop prospects
vary, some spots have suffered
for a lack of work during the
continued rains in June and the
first of July, but as a whole they
are much better than they would
have been expected under the
circumstances.
Corn as rule is excellent. It
is Mr.. Wilson'S opinion that this
county will produce more corn
than it has for any season
during the past five years. He
has seen several fields of cotton
that now promises at least a bale
per acre.
Perhaps the most gratifying
fact is that our people are show
ing a strong tendency towards
diversified farming. Splendid
fields of wheat, potatoes, sor-
ghum and other food crops have
been grown by considerable
number of farmers, especially in
the eastern half of the county.
Taking into consideration the
prospects for good prices there
is no reason why all lines of bus
mess should not be prosperous
the coming season.
Rain fell in the eastern part of
the county Friday afternoon
which was badly needed.

sical concerts that has ever been
given in Columbus will be that
by Miss Norma Schooler, a for
mer Columbus girl, at the /. /.
and G. chapel next Tuesday
evening at 8:15 O'Clock for the
benefit of the Columbus Business
League. The Jackson. Tenn,
press says:
THE singers rendition of
every numbei was Incompatible.
The throbbing, passionate Irish
love song stirred emotions long
dead or never aroused and the
capricious Waldeinsamkeit left
the hearers light-hearted. but it
was ''The Walkure Call" in
which Miss Scholar reached per-
fection. She is a perfect Brun-
hide in type and pysique.
Every patriotic citizen of Co
lumbus should 90 and take their
wives, sisters and sweethearts.
The admission has been placed
at the modest sum of fifty cents
so as to enable everybody to be
present. City people pay from
three to five dollars to hear no
better music than will be heard
at this concert. Let's all turn
out and give the young lady an
ovation. The admission price is
only SOC.

TRAGIC STORIES
or FOREST FIRES
RELATED BY THE SURVIVORS
SeYEhTY-FIVE MEN TAKE REFUGE IN
TUNNEL AND MANY LOSE
THEIR LIVES

Spokane. Wash, August &C.
Telegraphic communication with
st. Joe valley of Idaho has been
restored, but it is not yet possi-
BILE to verify the reports of large
loss of life among the fire fight
ers, additional to the IS reported
by the government officers. The
estimate of 141 dead in the three
states is adhered to by those
most familiar with the situation.
Tragic stories are being told by
arrivals from the fire zone in
Idaho. George Ryan of Toronto,
Canada, one of the 80 men i'm
prisoned in War Eagle mine Sat-
urday night where six perished.
said today:
There were rs of US under
Ranger Pulaski. We first took
refuge in the tunnel of j. 1. C.
mine, but it was not safe and af-
ter we had been there a short
time 30 of US went down the
creek a quarter of mile to the
War Eagle. / don't know what
became of the rest of the men.
I'VE took horses into the tun-
mel. Pulaski told us to lie as
close to the floor of the
tunnel as we could, or close to
the walls. We tried to block up
the entrance of the tunnel with
blankets but the fire burned
them off as fast as we put them
up.
THE flames licked UP Is feet
from the mouth like a blast.
The smoke was suffocating.
About an hour and half after
we had been in the tunnel, Pu-
laski, who was nearest the
lost consciousness.
Two men got scared and
rolled around in the middle of
the tunnel instead of keeping by
the edge or on the floor and they
died across my knees. -Birming-

Rate on Home Grown Hay.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 27.-
When the Mississippi Railroad
Commission meets here Septem-
Der 6, one of the most important
questions that is booked to come
up for a hearing is the petition
for lower rates on Mississippi
grown hay.
The question was brought to
the attention of the commission
some time ago, and the matter
discussed at some length, with a
view to placing the Mississippi
hay on the same basis as hay
from other states.
At meeting of the hay grow
ers at Starkville recently. mem
bers of the railroad commission
and officers of the railroads were
invited to be present and take
part in the discussion. Presi-
dent Webb, of the commission,
was present, but took no part in
the discussion.
1t is believed the railroads, in
order to promote the interests of
the hay growers of the state.
will agree to some alterations in
the tariff though the present
rate is Is cents a hundred to any
part of the state, maximum rate,
which is pro rated for short
hauls.
The lay industry is assuming
large proportions in East Missis-
sippi, and the acreage will be in
creased next year. Alfalfa is
taking the place of other crops,
and the yield is proving satisfac-
tory everywhere. Hay growing
started as an experiment in Mis-
sissippi about three years ago,
and the acreage has been in
creased till, this year. the pro-
duction will be sufficient to sup
ply a large proportion of the de-
lnand for home consumption.

WANTS TO BORE FOR OIL

The following extract from a
letter of August 18th, to Mr.. A.
A. Breast of this city from Col.
T. j. O'Neill, of Chickasha,
Oklahoma, will be read with in
terest. Col. O'Neill made a trip
to the Ohio oil fields last spring
to investigate the oil business
and has gathered good deal Of
information on the subject and
he is convinced that there are
promising prospects in this vicin-
ity, and is willing to join others
in putting up the money to drill
for it. Before going to Oklaho-
ma Col. O'Neill was a prominent
lawyer in this city:
The people of Columbus are
a great mistake not to
bore for oil and gas in and
around the town.
Those hills and valleys in the
north and northeast part of
town are of the same general
character as are found in the oil
fields of this state (Oklahoma)
and of Ohio and West Virginia
where | have examined them.
and they are about the same dis
tance from the coal fields.
1t is entirely within the bounds
Of probability that Columbus and
Lowndes county people are sleep
ing over mines of untold wealth.
[ will be very glad to join any
number of them in boring for oil
and gas in and near Columbus.
