There was 73 feet of water In the
Magic Reservoir the first of this
week. and the water was coming IL
at the rate of about 1-2 feet a
day, The real spring flood has not
yet begun; there should be one-hali
more or twice as much, water in
the Big Wood when the sun fairly
begins to get in it's work on the big
snow drifts. About 5000 cubic
feet of water per second is being
stored.
While the early snow fall was SO
light as to be noticeable, even if
not a serious menace, the later
snow fall has fully made up the de-
ticiency, SO that the latest esti-
mates are that the snowfall and the
consequent run-off will be rather

GOOD ROADS DISTRICT.
Commissioners Accept Vote, and It's
Now Up to The Governor.


The county commissioners, who
met in Shoshone last week, canvass
ed the vote from the Richfield road
precinct, and found that the results
of the good roads election were as
stated in the Recorder last week.
and ordered that the district be de-
clared.
Governor Hawley now has the
privilege of appointing the three
ommissioners, which it is expect
ed he will do soon. No local action
has been taken as to who these are
to be; it would probably be a good
thing for some one to call a meet
ing, start a petition, or invite the
governor to come over and line all
the men of the tract up for inspec-
tion. he to choose the best lockers
according to his own scale of excel
lence.
Enough money will be available
to make a fine showing on the roads
of the new district this year. BY
next season, the three commissioners
can work out system for develop

This woman's life has been piiable

a task worthy OF the strongest man

hardship for a s0rrow-laden woman.
She bore her heavy cross with re.
markable fortitude because of her re-
ligious devotion and the kind assist

Park River. His tragic death while
enroute to the Democratic National
convention at St. Louis several years
ago left her alone with overwhelming
and money stringency. Since
then the joy of life never animated

PROSPERITY ASSURED
BY Recent Rains

PIERRE, July S.-The rains of the
past three days for the western half
of the state have changed the whole
outlook for many sections. While
wheat, which was not well put in, and
some that has been damaged by the
hot, dry weather of the last week in
June, the corn, flax, potato and hay
crop was not in any danger, and with
the rainfall which has ranged close
to about two inches for the whole of
the western half Of the state, the
outlook for continued good conditions
means nothing more than normal pre-
cipitation for the rest Of the year, and
the ground has been so thoroughly
soaked that most sections could pull
through even if the rainfall should
fall below normal for the rest of the
growing season. But it was just the
kind of a rain the northwest needed
ana it has assured thousands of dol
lars to the farmers.

LEAGUE MEETING
called AT MOTT
HeuInger County Branch VIII
Dispose Of Important
Matters

MOTT, July 8.-Secy. A. G. Gold
trap, Of ..egent, has called a special
meeting OF the officers OF the County
Development League, including all the
vice presidents, for July 10th, to be
held at Mott. 1t is expected that all
OF the petitions to the commissioners
requesting a levy to be made for i'm
migration purposes, will be in at that
time.
The league has a high aim and Its
officers have been working necessarily
to accomplish the best results. A
campaign will be launched at once In
the interest of better farming meth
DDS and to encourage a better pro-
duction of farm produce, preparatory
to sending the same to the Bismarck
and Minneapolis land shows.
The real condition Of our farmers
as shown by their grains and other
products when exhibited at the big
shows is the best advertisement this
county can possibly have. The proof
of the pudding is in the eating. SO
it Is with our county. We car show
the investor or land seeker that we
can raise a superior article of farm
produce, it will inure to our benefit
generally. We can't do it by keeping
our light under a bushel.
Let all the officers, as well as all
others who can, attend this meeting
and lend every possible encourage
ment to the league. 1t Is an ~organiza.
ton which is working earnestly, with
out compensation, for your good.

fires were SET
AT nILLSBORO

HILLsBORO, July S.-One barn
was entirely destroyed and three 9th
ers partially ruined early Friday
morning at Hfllsboro, when q blaze
of incendfary origin broke out in the
barn of Sever Nelson and spread to
adjoining buildings.
The structures were discovered to
be afire about 2 a. m. and in a few
minutes the fire department there
and a large brigade Of citizens were
fighting the flames with buckets, hose
and other paraphernalia. 1t develop
ed that the flrebug had done his work
well, however, and the Sever Nelson
barn was burned to the ground. An
auto shed belonging to p. ]. Berg, the
barn of C. F. butcher and the barn
of John Olson had the ends badly
scorched and would also have been
flame ridden but for the work Of the
department and citizens. The loss
will total several thousand dollars.
The citizens Of the Trail county
metropolis are up in arms over the
event, this being about the fifteenth
fire started by mysterious hands
within the past Ave years. There has
been a standing reward for the cul-
prit for some time past, and the
amount has been doubled by the citt-
zens there. "A certain man Of middle
age, who is said to b. Of weak mind,
is suspected of the crimes, but II he
is the guilty party he covers his
tracks we'll, as strenuous efforts to
connect him with the starting Of the
fires have proved unavailing to date.
The watch will be kept up, however,
and according to a prominent Hills
boro resident, something is bound to
drop If the guilty party is caught
with the goods.
