COUNTY DIVISION INTERESTS ARE PROGRESSING
Wibaux Has
Small Flood

Most of this week and last the
big dailies have chronicled the
fact that 4 great food took place
at various places in Ohio, Illinois,
Kentucky and some of the other
southern states, but Wibaux also
witnessed a flood, which in great.
ness and loss OF life did not prove
so great as those in the southern
states. Last Sunday at about five
O'Clock the Beaver creek which
runs just back Of this city raised
over its banks and flooded the low.
lands along it's bed.
AT about noon the creek was
still frozen over and very little
water was running over the ice
surface. Then all at once at
about the time stated above. this
little body OF water became a great
lake and people residing in the
DAVIS addition We're compelled to
follow the railroad tracks to and
from their homes. Chas. Dahl
who resides just over the creek
spent the day with lis wife at tn.
home of friends in the country
and Monday morning when he re-
turned to town he was unable to
reach his house as it was in the
center of the over flooded creek
and the current was extremely
swift. The @. $. Drake livery
and dray barn was flooded and Mr..
Drake was compelled to 60 to the
neighbors and place his horses in
their barns. The Crescent Hard
ware had their cellar flooded but
they realized that something was
going to happen and carried every
thing out that the water wonld
damage.
Monday. the city council order
ed channel blasted through the
road Just over the bridge and when
this was completed the water re-
ceded somewhat and by Tuesday
evening it was down SO that those
residing in the Davis Addition
were able TO cross on the regular
travelled road. All in all not 8
great deal Of damage was done
with the exception Of considerable
inconvenience, but then we had
small Hood alright, ana we can
thank the Almighty that it proved
no worse than it did.

Baker Is Having
Railroad Dreams

Baker has fell for it again. in
that it had the following article in
its newspaper of last week, copied
from the Dickinson Press to the
effect that the n. P. was abont
to build a line from Beach, N. ID.
to Baker, Montana. We were
aware of the fact that there was a
surveying crew working south Of
Beach but when il comes to actual
work, We believe that the N. p.
will be apt to make u few changes
in the schedule from the one con-
tanned in the following article.
We are beginning to believe that
the Baker bunch are having
dreams of oil wells and rail.
road projects just like formerly
took hold Of the Glendive people,
the only difference being that
Glendive's air castles have already
been shattered while Bakers Are
only beginning to sprout.

The people of Beach feel con.
fident that the Northern Pacific
will build ,south Of that city to Ba-
ker, Montana, and possibly on to
Belle Fonrche in South Dakota to
connect with the Northwestern.
Several crews Ct men have been
working south Of Beach for a
month or more and it really looks
as though something would come
from this move. Three SURVEYS
have been run and the latest ru-
mors are that the company will
build on the west line, running via
Carlyle to Baker. So far as known
there is no preliminary survey
north of Beach.
just what has prompted the
Northern Pacific to make these
preliminary surveys south Of
Beach does not appear now.

OUR OLDEST ENGLISH HOUSE

Data duly recorded in the records
Of Princess Anne county, Virginia,
show that the main portion Of the old
house shown in the illustration was
erected in 1910 by Adam Thorough.
good Adam did such a thorough
good" job that not a brick has been
loosened by the elements in that stout
old wall since it was built 273 years
ago, 1t is without doubt the oldest
house of English construction in
America. The builder came to Amer
lea in the year 1926, 10 years after
jamestown was founded. He was an
influential man, both in England and
in America, and was granted large
tracts of land on the southern shore
of Chesapeake bay, and this old house
is on a portion of the original grant
from the English king. Loop holes
in the end walls and dormer windows
in the roof enabled the occupants to
observe the approach of individuals
with hostile intent. and the thick
walls afforded ample protection from
attacks.

FAMED APES OF GIBRALTAR

Travellers to Gibraltar are always
on the lookout for the famous apes OF
the rock. the only wild monkeys in
europe. and will be interested to
learn that their threatened extinction
has been averted.
Until about twenty-five Years ago
these monkeys held undlsputed pos
session or the upper part of the rock
and were seldom seen; but when the
tortifcation on the summit was be-
gun the animals spread to the lower
levels and were one of the sights OF
the place One locality, Bruces Farm,
they avoided for years The story is
that long ago they became very trou-
blesome to the owner by raiding his
fruit garden After various expedients
to get rid OF them had failed, some
one caught young monkey and tying
II to a tree left It to. starve to death.
This cruelty was resented by the
band. which, II is said, carried away
the dead body and never afterward
approached the place.
Ten years ago there we're fifty or
sixty apes on the rock, but many were
shot or trapped, and three years ago
only three old females were left to
represent the stock. When this came
to the knowledge OF the commandant
he issued orders for their protection,
and imported from Morocco a male
and four females; but the three old
females attacked and soon killed the
newcomers A second experiment was
equally unsuccessful, but in 1911 a
third male was obtained, who fought
his way into the good graces Of the
old females and became the sire OF
several young monkeys that will now.
1t is expected, replenish the stock.
Unfortunately this sire became so
dangerous, viciously attacking the
people who would befriend him, that
he was lately condemned to be shot.
The sentence, however, was COM
muted to Imprisonment for life in the
London Zoo, whittier he was trans
ported on a battleship and where he
now dwells in an admired captivity In
Regent Park.
The Gibraltar ape, which is not a
true ape but a macaque, is especially
interesting to zoologoists because Of
the isolation of its species In the
northwest corner of Africa, for 1t is
restricted to the mountain Businesses
of the Barbary States. All the other
members Of the genus Macacus are
Asiatic its nearest ally being the
rhesus or sacred monkey of India.
The monkey the Japanese depict so
constantly in drawings and carvings
is another near relative.

From the way a great many people
toss money about-from the obvious
indications that numbers of small sal
aried men and other wage-earners are
living beyond their incomes-it is diff
fieult to believe that the good old
habit Of saving persists in the United
States. But 1t does. and the proof of
1t is the enormous sum of S4,5OOOOO,-
600 on deposit in American savings
banks. There are other savings Of
course than those in banks. Thrift
is a sterling attribute of human ma
ture. The fact that in spite of sur
face indications it characterizes
large part of the population is reas-
suring.

PELLAoRA AMONG WOMEN.


ohcial figures compiled by the fed.
eral government show that pellagra is
more deadly 10 women than to uSn.
The reason is not explained by the
experts who are studying the rapid
spread and ravages OF the disease in
this country, says the Washington
Herald. There was large increase
IN the mortality from the disease in
1911, when $50 deaths we're reported;
"a the decade 1900 to 1903 the
mortality reported from this disease

one for 1904. In 1908 there occurred

stump of a giant fir has been followed

house two horses. 1t is 10x11 at the
base, and to render it impervious to
rain roof was added. 1t stands on

first used the partially hollow stump
as a potato storehouse, finding room
in 1t for seventy-fve sacks. Later he
enlarged the interior to its present

She is harnessed by his supposed
strength and so blinded that she can
see nothing except that which is ex-
actly ahead of her or that which be

majority OF women allow their powers
to grow weaker year by year from the
