POWERS MAKE BIG
DEAL IN LOCAL FLOUR
BIGGEST FLOUR DEAL EVER CON-
SUMMATED IN EASTERN
MONTANA.

The Power Mercantile company
celebrated their twenty-eighth an
niversary, which occurs the first part
of this month, by consummating one
of the biggest single-handed flour
deals ever made in this state. The
deal was made with the local flour
mill and involves the transfer to the
Power company of 100000 pounds OF
-four, at an outlay of some $4,000.
The flour purchased by the Power
company is the product of the local
mill and includes practically all OF
the output of the mill for the past
year, and was all ground from last
years Judith Basin wheat. Wheat
produced in the Basin last year Is
conceded by the highest authorities 10
be as good, If not better. than any
| wheat produced in the World last
year, which is an assurance that the
flour involved in this deal Is OF the
highest quality possible.
Manager Symmes stated to the
Democrat that he made an exceilent
deal by taking the entire output ano
will vigorously push it's sale through
ont the state. The price paid for the
-four will enable him to offer induce
ments that cannot be met by competi
ton. !,
Some twenty-eight years ago th'
Power Mercantile Co. was estab
lished as little trading post store
and has pushed ahead until today !

CONSERVATIVE POLICY
STILL PREVAILS EAST
NO SPECULATION AND BUSINESS
EXPANSION AT STAND-STilL
CROP CONDITIONS.

e. A. Blomgren, of the C. Il. Shoe
maker company, returned this week
from an extended visit to the eastern
financial centers, where he went In
the interest of extending his com
pany's already growing business. Mr..
Blomgren reports meeting with graf
flying success in his mission east
When asked regarding the financial
condition in the east, he stated that
money matters had not loosened up
to any perceptible extent
81 do not mean to convey the idea
| that there Is no money in the east,
said Mr. Blomgren. con the contrary,
| there is plenty of money in the east,
but not for speculative purposes, nor
even for expansion Of business. There
is but little building operations going
on in the eastern cities and many
big industries are running on short
time, while some have closed alto
gether. The conservative policy
adopted last year by the financial in
terests appears to have become q
permanent thing. The tendency Of in
vestors runs stronger than ever to
farm mortgages and the demand for
such securities are greater than ever,
and l might add that Judith Basin
securities are given a high place in
this line of investment.
Our Crops Best.
Nowhere in the many states
visited" said Mr.. Blomgren, "have
seen any crop conditions that will
compare with those of the judith
Basin. In the middle west, the corr
crop is only average, while small
grain will fall considerably short
In Indiana, the grain crop will be con
! siderable short of an average and al
extreme shortage prevails in both th'
Dakotas. In some sections of the Da
kotas the grain crops are so shor
, they will not be harvested
Mr.. Blomgren was in the east dur
ing the extreme hot weather and i
more than pleased to be back to tn
Judith Basin again.

big country of great agricultural pos

The local yards are now being en-
larged by the laying of additional
side-tracks, to accommodate the work
trains and make more room for the
handling of freight cars during the
grain shipping season.
The Democrat is reliably informed
that LewistOwn will be the headQuar-
ters for three or four crews, ag-
gregating about three hundred men,
who will be employed during the next
few months on the rebuilding of the
Observation-Disclosures branch. This
will mean big monthly payroll here
and the distribution of tens Of thou
sands of dollars among local business
men.
1t is rumored about the streets
this morning that the Milwaukee di
rectors have decided to get busy this
fall on the line between Lewistown
and Grass Range. Only about twelve
miles of this line is yet to be graded
and resumption of work eastward
from Lewistown would only add tt
the activity in local business circles
during the next few months.

rather unprecedented spell of wet

much grief to everybody, including
the wet land farmers, who want to
begin harvesting their bumper crop

coterie of local business men who are
holding the sack into which deficits
to the tune Of nearly fifteen thousand
dollars have dropped during the
rained-Out fairs of the past three
years.

the fastest animals that can be
found in the west Most of them are
harness horses, but there will also
be a number of fast running horses
on the ground by the time fair opens

track in good shape and some rec
ords for the local race course ough
to be hung up next week.

DEAFNESS CANNOT Be- CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustrachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused bq Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

CRESCENT THEATRE.

In looking over the various farces
which have fitted their light fantastic
way before the public gaze, an impair
tial and unbiased judgment would
award first place as "a good thing" to
"McFadden's Flats" This frolicsome
hodge-podge of the stage comes to the
Crescent Sunday, Sept. 9rd, for a week.
A contemplation of its feminine
charms leaves one in bewilderment and
yet with complacent satisfaction. In
farce comedy coloquial, this farce
goes the limit" and from, what one
sees nowadays it is possible to get
more amusement and laughter out of
The Flats" than from a cycle of plain
ordinary everyday artistic comedies.
Much of the fun depends upon the fun

Harry B. Smith made the adaptation
for the American stage from the Ger

comedy was presented in Vienna as
Die Geschiedene Egau," it is said to
have duplicated the success of THE
Merry Widow" by the same librettist.
The story is interesting, sustained and
consistent and deals with the marital
troubles of a young court secretary

hears that he CALAMITY gave up his

shrieks of laughter. The music by
Leo Fall is catchy and the tunes are
whistled in the cities

The cast contains two prima donnas,
Olga Steck, formerly of the FRITZ

such a favorable impression in ''The

scenery is elaborate and massive. The
