A crist Of Items Gathered From Our
Northern Montana Exchanges
Geraldine Review: That the MIL
waukee is pushing along the work of !
completing this line in every way pos
sible is evidenced by the large stores :;
Of rails and other supplies gathered
at the Lewistown end and the train |
loads which are arriving daily. In one .
day last week 1853 cars of steel and
other material were received at Har.
lowtown from the Milwaukee main |
line for this work.
Galata Journal: Several cars of
steers were shipped from here last
week which are destined for Alaska. !
The steers are first taken to Oregon
to be %wintered, and the journey is
then resumed. Once in Alaska these
same steers which brought probably
so here will sell for the enormous
sum of nearly $500 each.
Choteau Acantha: 1t is apparent
from recent arrests and convictions
that the killing Of cattle hereabouts
is rather disastrous for the parties
carrying OF such business. It is a
very serious offense and perpetrators
of such acts will find Oil sooner or
later that it will not benefit them in
the long run, as they are sur to be
| caught some time.
Glasgow Courier: In the first snow
storm of the year, John Aldabe, a
sheepherder, on the Fort Peck reser-
walton, died from exposure to the ele-
ments after losing his way in the
storm while trying to get back to
camp. The Aldabe brothers had been
running sheep on the reservation
fifty miles north of Frazer and had
been herding the flock all summer.
Hinsdale Tribune: Peter Rankinen
a homesteader residing about seven
teen miles northeast of Hinsdale, met
death in a we'll near his place Monday
morning. The unfortunate man de-
tected the presence of gas and asked
to be hauled up. When within about
fifteen feet of the top the gas over
came him and he fell from the buck
ct which he vas standing in, to the
bottom of the we'll, a distance of twen-
ty feet.
Conrad Observer: The Observer
saw enough the past week to convince
anyone Of the necessity of thoroughly
boiling the Conrad city water before
using for drinking purposes. The
Conrad Steam Laundry was compell-
ed to quit work Thursday on account
of a shortage of water and upon dig
ging to the water main found a large
partly decayed fish that had plugged
up the flow.
Havre ~Plaindealer: The body of an
elderly man was found at Pacific
Junction last Friday night by some OF
the residents, and brought to Hol.
lands undertaking rooms, from where
the body was buried Sunday morn
ing. The night janitor at the depot
identified the remains as those of
man who had spoken to him one night
recently, saying that he was tired anG
, was going to climb into a box cal
and get some sleep.
Big Sandy Mo%untaineer: Commits
sioner Ihmsen the first of the weel
started the large tractor and graders
at work on the main street of the
town which has been in a rough con
dition for several weeks past on &C
count of the excavating and building
of the Mcnamara & NARROW store
The road will be graveled and pu1
l in first class condition says Mr.. Inn
) sen after which he intends to put the
: grader at work on the Judith roai
! near town.
Chinook Opinion: The work O.
completing the municipal improve
, ments for the year is practically fin
ished. The improvements that hav,
been installed have made the tow1
one of the handsomest and most at
tractive in the state and have draw
favorable comments from every Wis
' itor who has seen them. The worl
. of fixing the town up in modern, up
to-date fashion has been a notabl,
, achievement and one that is creditabl'
to the community and to those VIII,
: directed the work.
