Mr.. Murphy raised variety of
potatoes this season, of which he
mad in competition at the Montana
State and sevaral County Fairs

he had sent half bushel OF one
of these varieties to the above
named congress, with the result
that he captured the highest award
"a gold medal-while in competi.
ton with the world.
Among the points to be con-
sidered in the Judging of the po-
tatoes were uniformity of size and
shape, freedom from disease,
character Of skin and eyes, cook
ing qualities, ETC., and when it
comes to proper Judging the Wi.
baux potatoes had them all. beat.

vertisement for Dawson county,

tulated for his successful potato

UNIQUE Halloween PARTY

The parlors of the +. j. Stipe k
home were very neatly and appro-
priately decorated on last Satur-
day evening when a unique Hal
lowe'en party was given by their
daughter, Miss P hoebe, and Miss
Beatrice Lynch, for the Wibau x
High School students.
The guests arrived about $50,
and as they filed into darkened
reception room they were received
by ghost who welcomed them
with an ICY hand, after which
they were escorted to the attic-an-
other darkened room which was
dimly lighted with jack o lanterns
and decorated with ''spooky" black
cats. Here the guests were re-
ceived by an old witch. who, after
telling their fortunes, presented
the gentlemen with a "bag Of
gold'', taken from a receptacle re-
sembling that of an old iron ket-
tie, and bade them purchase with
this treasure partner for supper,
which they accordingly did.
The guests then engaged in
various pastimes until midnight
when dainty, delicious five
course luncheon was served. The
dining room was also decorated in
''ghost-like' fashion, and light
ed with dimly burning tapers, sup
ported by candle-sticks made from
different kinds of vegetables.
Covers were laid for nineteen, and
at each place were favors of witch
es for the gentlemen and black
cats for the ladies'.
The following composed the
guest list: Messrs. Selmer Jones,
Harold Newton, Eddie Rucker,
Geo. Sommerfelt, Walter Som
merfelt, John Burns, Russell Lo-
veil, Russell Graham. Harry Belle
deu, Bland Orgain and the Misses
Violet Terrell, Inez Lynch, Kath-
rine Rice, Lucille McClain, Eva
Wills, Mae Strong, Mary Roy.

INSTALLING MORE OIL TANKS

The Continental Oil Company,
of which I. J. Lynch is local ag-
ent, is this week having additional
oil tanks installed here, in order
to meet the ever increasing de-
mand.
Only short time ago the COM
pany was in doubt as to whether
or not there was sufficient bust
ness to warrant the installation of
tanks at this point, and now that
they find it necessary to install
additional tanks with more than
double the capacity of the first
ones, is very good evidence OF the
wonderful growth and develop
ment of the country tributary to
Wibaux within the past year.
In additional to the two large
tanks, which have combined ca
pacity Of $4,000 gallons, a new
warehouse is also being erected.

Billings to Have Street Cars

The new Billings street car
line will be in operation soon
after the first of November.
This street car line is unique in
that it uses neither trolleys or
poles. No wires are needed to
carry the electric current, as the
cars are to be operated by stor-
age batteries carried on them.
These will be the first of the
kind used in the state, but SINH
lar cars are used in some por-
tions of New York City.

Beach |nvestigat-
ing Twine Factory
Representative Of Factory for Manu-
featuring Flax TWine Visits WI
baux With View Of Locating.


held Especial meeting last Monday
evening, called by the president
and secretary to consider the ad-
viseability of putting a flax fibre
plant at Beach.
+. w. Hines, Of Minneapolis.
and president Of the Wares Grain
Binder Attachment company, and
a. \. johnson, Of Winthrop,
Mimi, editor of the Winthrop
News and president of the Win
throp Cordiage company, were in
the city with view of organic
ing local stock company, and
they called on the business men
for their endorsement Of tie pro-
position.
Those present at the meeting
thought best to investigate the
plant now at Winthorp, MINI, /,
before taking any action, and ac-
cordingly it was voted to send
the secretary there for that pur-
pose, He will leave tomorrow
and expects to make a thorough
investigation, such as going over
their books, getting the opinion
of the Winthorp business men as
to benefits of their factory, and
also will interview the farmers in
that community who have been
furnishing or selling their straw.
II, M on his report, the business
men of Beach think suck an enter
prise would be money maker at
Beach the club expects to eneorse
the enterprise and help in the es.
tAblishing of a plant here, while
if an unfavorable report is the
outcome the proposition will no
doubt be dropped.
Ii a flax fibre plant and twine
factory is success at Winthorp,
Mlnn., where the supply of flax is
limited, there is no question but
what it ct.n be made a much big
ger success located at Beach,
where we have al unlimited sup
ply Of material.
Mr.. Hines, of the binder at
tachnent company, as well as Mr..
johnson, is enthusiastic over the
project and are desirous of get
ting the endorsement of the Com
mercial club which would be a
big aid to them in soliciting stock
and getting the project under
way, and local parties are also be-
coming enthused and will anxious
ly wait the report of the secretary
The gentlemen referred to in
the above article were visitors at
the Pioneer office last Saturday,
when they informed the writer
that they We're here with the same
object in view, and requested that
the Pioneer explain their PROPOSE
ton to the farmers in this locality,
and also stated that should our
Chamber of Commerce indorse
their proposition, they would esta-
blish twine factory here.
In brief, their proposition is to
establish plant for the manufac
ture of twine male out of fla,
straw: pay the farmer S5 per tor
for their straw delivered at the
plant, and guaranteed to furnish {
twine equally as good or bette,
than the imported Manila, at i,
great saving in cost, which
on the face of it looks like a goot
thing for the farmers, inasmuch a
he can find market for a produc
which is almost yalueless at pre-
sent.
