COLLISION WITH ICEBERG IS CAUSE Of FATAL END
ING ON MAIDEN "TRIP Of WORLDS LARGEST STEAMSHIP
] BUYS THE.
LYONS BUILDING
Largest and Most Expensive
Structure in the City
Changes Hands

NlId4lSSS 11QAANo
On Thursday afternoon of last
week deal was completed
whereby M. H. Powers; cashier
of the First State, Bank of this
city, becomes the owner of the
Lyons block on main street,
which building was built about
four years ago and since then
used by him for his store in half
Of the lower story, while the en-
tire second floor was used for an
opera house and dance hall.
This deal came as a surprise
to Bowbells people. Real estate
had not been changing hands
very fast during the past two
years onraccount Of the scarcity
of money, and it is understood
that the price of this property
agreed on by the parties was in
the neighborhood Of $4,000. It
is the largest and most expen-
sive building in the city.
4. The upper story will be used
for opera and dancing purposes
the same as it has been in the
past. and the pool hall will con-
tinue doing business on half of
the ground floor. The other half
of the ground floor will not pro-
badly be occupied for some
months, but is now for rent to
responsible persons or firm. It
is Mr.. Powers intention to try
to get a store to take a lease of
the vacant room some time dur.
ing the summer. Mr.. Powers
has had several.years experience
as manager of an opera house at
Zumbrota, Mimi, and this ex-
perience made him pretty we'll
acquainted with most of the
show troupes that travel through
the Northwest. - He intends
to book nothing but the very

best class Of shows. and it is his
intention to give his patrons
their moneys worth at every
exhibition given in the building.
"I do not intend to put any
thing on until nexta.fall," SAID
Mr.. Powers to the Tribune
Monday, afternoon, : unless
some Independent troupe leases,
the hall for one or more nights
before that time. I realize that
money is tight now and that
people in Bowbells and vicinity
really cannot afford to patronize
many shows now. But next

In a letter received by The
Tribune from James Connoughty,
for many years a resident west

few weeks ago and is now locat.
ed at Stettler, Alta, Jim says:
I'VE arrived here @. K. and are

All farmers are working in the
fields, and most of the, wheat has
already been seeded. Archie
Stewart, and also several other
farmers formerly from near Wo-
burn are also located in the vicin-
ity of Stettler.
J. w. Ingison, the farmer and
coal miner from east Of the city,
was in Bowbells Wednesday af-
ternoon, and was 1amenting over
the loss Of a registered Shorthorn
COW which he had lost the day
before by being run: over by No.
105. Tuesday forenoon he had
sold three Of his registered mich
cows to a man by the name Of
McC Cormick from, Canada, and
was to deliver them to Bowbells
ednesday and get. his money.
The price agreed on was SIS per
head, and those who saw, the an
imals and knew of their great
milk producing qualities, state
that the price was not.a bittoo
high. yhow, the train killed

TENANT. NOT TO BLAME
We cannot expect a man who
may have to move in a year to
help build up the fertility of an
other mans land. There never
was such a grinding taskmaster
as the man who has escaped the
wheels Of adyersity himself.
There is a certain type of farm

feels that to get even with the
world he must make it hard

It's notorious that the domestic
servant girl who may be raised
to affluence becomes a tyrant

blinded to their best interests.
"A LONG TERM LEASE Il
The remedy is the universal
introduction Of a long term lease
covering at least four or five
year rotation, contracting in de-
tail what the landlord shall sup
ply and what work the tenant
shall do in every field each year,
and the tenant who is faithful
should be given the privilege Of

OLSON WILL NOT
SEEK REELECTION
County Treasurer is Ruled Out
of Running Again For
Same Office

County Treasurer c.. P. Olson
will not be a candidate for reel
ection. So he stated to The Trib-
une Wednesday afternoon, and
at the same time handed US an
opinion received by him from
the attorney general. The opin-
ion was rendered after Mr.. Olson
had written to the states legal
advisor about whether, or not a
short appointive term and an ell
ective term in the county treas
urer's office constituted two sue
cessive terms in the meaning of
the law. The attorney general
held thatit did, and 50 that leaves
Mr.. Olson out of the game, for
at least two years.
Mr.. Olson was appointed coun-
ty treasurer by the commissioners
when Burke county was organ
lied in June 1910, The following
November he was reelected to
succeed himself, and had figured
some on making another run,
but this opinion leaves him out.
Probably no county officer gave
better satisfaction than he did.
He was very accommodating, at
tended strictly to his own affairs,
and his records were kept in the
very best of condition. He is
very we'll liked among Bowbells
people, as well as all over the
county, and there is little doubt
but that he would be reelected
could he run again this year.
