ed sonlc of tho latest improved apra-

a new epoch in the history Of the or

This is a new record, being the cold:

The sudden drop which was finally

No Suffering From Cold.
Tho extreme cold was without any
suffering upon the part of the people

that the thermometer. al recording

were not compelled to undergo IN
difficulties by reason of that fact: The
thermometers probably suffered most,

Former Grand Forks County
Attorney Considered a
Probable Candidate

Attorney Stephen ]. Cowley, for.
merlH a resident of Grand Forks coun.
ty. having engaged In the price Of law
at Larfmore, is being considered as a
possible candidate on the Democratic
ticket IN Montana for congressional
nonors Mr.. Cowley. however. in an
interview at Great Falls, declares that
he Is not an aspirant for honors Of
that nature. Here Is what tho Great
Falls Tribune has to say OF MI. Cow.
ley:
THE Western News of Libby ia
working out the political chess game

party ought to do for the good Of the
commonwealth in the selection Of can
dldates. Its comment Is interesting in
as much as 1t pays three local men
very pretty compliments In connection
with the consideration of their names
as among the availables for the con-
gressional honors next year.
speaking of Deputy County Attor.
ney Stephen ]. Cowley it says:
Steve Cowley, assistant county at.
states bright young e It's really
too bad he's a Democrat. We've got
several job lots Of political junk on
our hands which we will trade and
give q good bonus for Cowley. He was
in Libby last year during the CAM
pa1gn and 1t ran safely be said he
made the best political talk from their
side of the matter heard here during
last years unpleasantness. He's a
candidate for congress, under certain
conditions. and having come fresh
from intimate relations with Governor
Burke of North Dakota, with whom
Mr.. Cowley punched political blank.
cts for some time. the chances are
good that he will not make the mis-
take of getting in where he should not
and that when he does get in 1t will
be at the right time. Hes a conner,
is young Cowley.'
"All this sounds very good to Great
Falls people and is a very pretty con-
~sideration of the men whom their
Great Falls friends believe are worthy
of the bouquets bestowed, but accord
ing to some Of them, al least. they
have no lightning rods up for con-
gresstonal thunder. Mr.. Cowley was
shown the reference to him in the
News and he said he APPRECIATED the
nice things said but that under no
conditions was he a candidate for the
high honor of congressional represen-
tative. He said that he was not out
for any political honor at all and un.
der no conditions whatever would he
allow his name to be considered for
the nomination for Representatives"
