GREENHOUSE OVER HOT
SPRING Is A NOVELTY
OF YELLOWSTONE PARK
At 50 Below Zero Il Was Hard to
Keep 1t Cool Euougn!

The old expression that there is
nothing new under the sun" has
been given rude shakeup by the
achievement of the caretaker Of Old
Faithful Inn in Yellowstone Park.
Last winter his ingenious brain
devised the scheme of building hot
house over one of the many boiling
springs in the vicinity of the hotel.
Realizing that there was a lot of
good heat going to waste which
might be corralled and used to
advantage, he bethought himself of
constructing glass house over the
source of this heat for the develop
ment of plant life. The upper
part of the wooden framework was
filled in with old windows that were
discarded when the new Grand Can
yon Hotel was built two years ago.
Upon completion Of his inprovis-
ed hot house, he Immediately plant
ed lettuce, radishes, cucumbers,
tomatoes. and mushrooms. bringing
fertile soil from back in the hills and
constructing boxes in which to plant
his seed. There was no soil where
he built this green house for the rea-
son that it was located on the hot
springs formation, where the crust
is lava and volcanic rock. Things
grew in the hot house like wild fire
while the outside temperature rang
ed anywhere from 20 degrees to so
degrees below zero. The only diff
Guilty experienced was in keeping
the temperature inside the hot house
down to the proper point for the
welfare of the plants The heat
from the hot springs was so intense
that the problem of moderating the
proved serious one.

Interesting Develop
ments In Oil Fields
Drillers Strike Gas at Depth Of 700
Feet with a High Pressure

Considerable excitement prevailed
around town Wednesday when it was
learned that the oil we'll drillers had
struck gas and no small quantity.
A Monitor representative visited the
camp at Reedsville Thursday and
found it an easy matter to confirm the
report. The sizzling of the gas
could be heard for mile away from
where the drill stands. The drilling
company was forced to shut down for
day or two until they could remove
their engine to a safe distance to
avoid ignition and it was also nec-
cessary to install small electric
light plant to work by. Drilling has
now been resumed. Their seems to
be considerable difference of opinion
as to the significance of the gas find.
One Of the men in charge of the drill
ing stated gas was often found in oil
belts, but that he thou sht the present
hole too shallow for a real gas we'll,
at least in such quantities that it
would pay to ''harness'' it up and
utilize for commercial purposes. He
intimated that the we'll might bum it
self out in a few days.
On the contrary one Of the direct
ors of the company, who lives in
Glendive made the positive statement
that the gas proposition would be
developed and piped into Glendive be-
fore January lst. to be used for hest-

Two New Barns To Be Built At
State Fair Grounds

Helena, Montana, June 11.--(Spec-
iaD The new State Fair Board with
the sanction of the State Board of
Examiners have devised ways and
means whereby certain proportion of
State Fair funds will be diverted to
erect two new stock barns so badly
needed at the fair grounds. A new
horse barn, a companion building of
the present horse barn, will be built
Immediately, thus giving a double
capacity. An addition to the present
foreign sheep barn will be built max
ing this building when completed 56
feet wide and 100 feet long and Of
sufficient size to house the sheep and
goats. This will allow the fair di-
rectors to use the present sheep barn
for cartle. This will give two cattle
barns, one for stock cattle and one for
dairy. With these additions ample
room for horses, cattle and sheep is
guaranteed. The 1918 premium cata-
log is now being distributed; this book
indicates $50, 900 worth of cash and
special premiums to the farmers of

ing and lighting purposes. He stated
that an inner lining or curbing would
be used in such a manner that the gas
could be taken care of at the same
time that the drilling for oil was con-
tinued. From the same authority we
learn that five more drilling outfits
would be in operation in the local
field within the next six weeks.
We are not geologists enough to
venture an opinion of our own on the
merits of the new enterprise but the
general concensus of opinion seems to
be that the activity shown by those
mostly interested and on the "'inside''
indicates that those who are doing the
operation believe they have something
worth while. There is no question
but that thorough test will be made
of the local oil fields and an early
boom is among the probabilities that
may be looked for in this vicinity.
There is no gainsaying the fact that
if either oil or gas is found in paying
quantities it will prove the greatest
thing that ever happened to Glendive
and this part of the county. Here's
to the man that are spending their
money exploiting a proposition that
should be of everlasting benefit to
our citizens and the country. We ad
mire their nerve and hope it all
comes true.

Della Clarke In "Introduce Me"

Reports from the places where
Della Clarke's new comedy Intro
duce Me- has been presented in.
dicate that it will be as welcome an
attraction as will visit this city dur
lug the season. In reviewing the
piece an Exchange says: 1.-The biting
jest which an ungrateful and vicious
weather department handed this city
yesterday prevented but a small!
crowd of theatre goers from witness
ing Introduce Me- as presented
at the Academy of Music matinees
and evening. This is largely to be
regretted in as much as the show is
an exceptionally clever one, we'll
staged and carried by an admirably
well-balanced cast. Miss Clarke,
authoress as we'll as star, deserves
great commentator in both capacl
ties and her support played with
Spartan Indifference to adverse
conditions. Miss Clark s acting was
quite up to the considerable reputa-
tion she enjoys and her own deter
mination infused each and every
member of the cast. Not sign of
soldering" could be observed in
either performance which indicates
splendid pluck on the part of those
buffeted by wintry fate. Miss
Clarke's role--that of the somewhat
neglected wife who unbeknowest to
her husband, wins great literary
success under the cover of non de
plume is broader one that that of
the Indian maiden in which we last
saw her. Tenderness. vivacity,
common sense and behind all thor
ough yet quite feminine efficiency
were aptly portrayed. The in ter
pretation of the role was doubtless
immensely aided from the fact that
its creator was playing it but aside
from this there was ample evidence
of a very thorough study of the
possibilities. On proper occasions
the conscientiousness with which the
part was played throughout rose to
genuine brilliance showing very real
emotional power--the kind that grips
the audience and sweeps it out of it
self Folks interested in the stage may
as we'll make up their minds to keep
an eye upon Miss Clark. In "The
White Squaw' she demonstrated
that she has imagination, the truest
sensibility, and genuine constructive
talent. But Introduce Me- is
leagues in advance of the earlier
effort. The imagination is surer,
the sensibility more appreciative.
the constructive power stronger.
The situations are evolved with de-
lightful naturalness and the lines
fit them to a IT.. 1t goes without
saying that the offering is as pure
and wholesome as spring flower
1t is great pity that "lntr oduce
Me" cannot double back this way
before the warm weather in order
that the public at large may have
an opportunity to enjoy it unob-
tructed by a driving sleet. two in
ches Of slush and a dangerously
slippery pavement.
Intrinsically the play is Interesting
and it contains the brightest Of pro-
mise wite regard to what its gifted
authoress may yet have in: store for
her public.

GALES CAUSE LOW TIDES.
Potomac River Depth Decreased Be
low the Usual Average.

Heavy northwest winds caused low tides
in the river yesterday and today. and at
high water yesterday afternoon and this
morning the tide level was from a foot to
eighteen inches below the usual tida,
average. AT low water the river flats
were practically bare and vessels in the
oyster docks and other shoal docks about
the harbor were on the bottom for
several hours.
Crows and aquatic birds profited by the
low water and had a pre-Thanksgiving 2
feast on the little fish and other object ,
of marine life left In the pools on the
fats by the ebbing water. Rivermen
expect the northwester to blow itself out
today and that the tides will. then return
to their uormal level.
In consequence of the low water in
the river yesterday afternoon the serv-
ices of two tugboats were required to pull
coal-laden Barge No. 10 through the
shoal places in the Georgetown channel
above the Highway bridge. The barge
was taken down the river to join a tow
going up the coast.

What happens Is quickly told: "A shout
