TRUE TO THE WEST

Of the many tented aggregatIons
that are touring the country this
year there Is not one that has
brought into prominence truthful
western depictions as has the 101
Ranch Real Wild West Show which

RO0F OF CRYsTAL|zEO SALT

The great salt lake at Obdorsk
is nine miles wide and seventeen
miles. long, yet except in q few
places it is solidly rooted over with
! deposit of salt. which is becom-
ing thicker and thicker each year.
says the Scientific American. About
the middle Of the last century Ralt
crystals first began to gather upon
the surface Of the water. Year by
year, owing to evaporation of the
water, the crystals became more
numerous, and then caked together
until this great roof was formed.
III 1878 the water beneath this
salt crystPl roof found an under
ground outlet into the Obi river.
This lowered the lakes surace
about three feet, leaving that dis
lance between the water and the
roof, and each year the distance
has been diminished by the con
slant addition of salt crystals to
the roof. Many springs surround
! the lake. Their water flows over
the roof and evaporates there, and
thus continually adds to its thick
ness. After many years the springs
will probably become choked Will
their own deposits, and then the
whole will become covered with
earth, so that a great salt mine
will be formed-a treasure for the
Siherians hundreds of years t.
! come.

.FL|MSY STATEMENT
WONT HOLD GOOD
Editor Small Twists the Truth in a
Terrible Manner in a Vain En-
deavor to MisIead People

1T was proven to Mr.. Sam Small
by the committee from the Har,
]oWton Commercial club that the
statements in his paper OF March
22nd, we're Misrepresentation of
facts. In his last weeks issue he
makes the excuse that they were
prepared in a hurry. Then he
starts out with other statements
which contained as little truth as
his first. He says he has a letter
from Mr.. Dralle, clerk and re-
corder Of Musselshell county, stat
ing that the cost of transcribing
the records for Musselshell county
and printing the books, was SOL
900. Produce the letter, Mr.
Small. What the letter contained
was: ''The cost Of transcribing the
records and printing the books etc,
was $51, ,OOO." Now what multi
tude of sins those three letters,
ETC., can cover. They may include
the furniture and fixtures and va
rious other items. Now Mr.. Small,
what is the matter with getting
out one issue of your very valua-
BILE paper with nothing but facts
In it and stop these misrepresen.
,tations. Tt will be as good as a
tonic to you and make you more
popular among those very close
friends Of yours in Judith Gap.
The Harlowton news. [volume] (Harlowton, Mont.) 1909-1914, 1912-04-19

Again, in the issue of March %,
he claimed that the cost of organ
izing the County Of Wheatland
would be 100000. This was prov
en- to him by that same committee
to be just 1876, 900 too much. OF
course he says his statements were
in hurry. But in last
weeks paper he says the bonded
of the County of
Wheatland would be $4,000, and
then had the supreme nerve to say
that was the amount fixed by the
Harlowton speakers at Judith Gap.
What they did say was that in
stead of the new county assuming
any debt from the old counties,
we would get $18,500 in cash.
Now M. Small finds himself over
100000 out on his estimate Of
what it would cost to organize the
county and attempts to get around
that by saying the county commits.
sioners Of the new county could is
sue warrants to the amount OF
$3.50, 900, and we have just as much
reason to suppose they will do it
as the commissioners OF the new
county. So much for this state
ment.

Gifts OF clothing are being made in
many market towns and villages of
Surrey to the poor from q bequest
left for the purpose by Henry Smith.
or DOG" Smith, as he was more gen
orally called, having earned the So
briquet from the fact that he was
never seen without dog at his heels.
This remarkable character lived
about two and a half centuries ago.
and was one of the best known fig
ures in Surrey. He was originally a
silversmith in the city of London,
and, prospering In business, acquired
estates in different parts of England.
Developing eccentricities as he grew
old, he adopted the life of n beggar.
His wanderings were confined almost
entirely to Surrey, and he is said to
have begged his way through every
town and village fin the country. At
his death in 1851 he left all his
wealth to the market towns and par
ishes of Surrey, and the endowments
enabled each town to spend $3.50 and
each village about $40 on the pur.
chase of clothing for its poor.

from his benefactions. Smiths ex-
