Northern Montana Exchanges
| Geraldine Review: Steps are being
taken this week toward forming a town
| government. A map is being prepared
showing the outlines of the proposed
town limits and the petitions will be
made ready and the other necessary
steps taken to qualify for incorpora-
tion.
Havre Plaindealer: DR.. ]. S. Almas,
county and city health officer, states
that the period of quarantine for scar
let fever has been changed from three
! weeks to four weeks, and the quaran-
tine for measles will be two weeks. AL.
50, the new law states that persons in
the home at the time the quarantine is
placed shall remain in quarantine for
the given period Of time.
Malta Enterprise: Constable Wolfe
put in several days chasing Charles
Hamilton who stole three horses and
some other property few days ago
from Charles Abramhamson at the
north side harm. He was caught up
near the Canadian line and brought
back to this rlace and given hearing
before Justice Brockway who bound
him over to the district court and he
was taken to Glasgow
Glasgow News: Ole Stomsvick is re-
ported to have utilized the brilliant
autumn moonlight of the last week in
the greater development of his farm,
in the AvOndale region. Through Lu-
mas aid he is said to have been able
to operate his tractor plowing outfit
through the straight twenty-four hours
and to have been able in this manner
to fall-plow about 100 per cent more
land than otherwise would have been
possible.
Glasgow Courier: What is believed
to be the record corn yield in Valley
County was harvested this week on the
farm of Albert Nelson, few miles
north of town. Mr.. Nelson had IS
acres in corn this season and harvest
ed over 1900 bushels of as fine corn as
is grown in the United States. 1t was
mostly an experiment on Mr.. Nelson's
part but it turned out to be the best
money maker for him that any crop
ever was. Much of the corn is being
sold for seed at 50 a bushel and he has
calls for more than he has on hand
Havre Plaindealer: The three
Cinnamon who were so severely burn
ed in a fire at the English Kitchen in
this city Wednesday, died as a result
of their injuries, at Sacred Heart hos
pital, where they were taken immedi-
ately following the fire. 1t is under
stood that the men were in a room at
the rear of the Kitchen and had built
a fire in the stove, and in order to
hasten the heater one of the Cinnamon
dumped what he supposed was kero-'
sene, into the stove. Instead of kero-
sene the can contained gasoline, and in
the explosion that followed the men
were all three fatally burned.
Harlem: News: Pop Vennum has
petition in his Office which he is asking
everybody in this section to sign. 1t
is addressed to the Secretary Of the In
terror and asks that the Reclamation
Service relinquish their right to the
various little steams tributary to the
Milk river in order that people who
have in good faith made proof on des-
ert claims be given title thereto.
There are many people in this section
who have taken up desert claims, used
the water and have made final proof,
but cannot secure title because the Re-
clamation Service claims a prior right
to the water. but they do not use it and
it is going to waste flooding the coun
try down in Louisiana every year.
