MANY IMMIGRANTS

There We're 5000 Immigrants al

Or these who came to Montana
from other countries, the English
show the largest number with a to-

other countries was as follows: Ire

Bulgaria. Servia and Montenegro.
400; Scotland, 447; Holland, 21O.
Various other countries are repre-
scented in the Immigration statistics
with comparatively small numbers.
The immigration is growing
steadily to this country and in his
report the commissioner declares

He states that he will harvest about 175 bushels iron the 15 acres, 100 of which he has sold to Thompson Hailey Co. at $1.O0 per bushel, and that it required four mules to pull the load he brought to town.
 MT. Blair has proven that wheat will make good here as he has a good crop and fine grade of wheat some of which is now on display in the above firms. win dow. He has bailed 400 bales of wheat straw for feed that is worth about Soc a bale making the crop from the 15 acres bring about $375. % Let Arkansas feed herself by following MT. Blair's example.

as compared with the others just spoken of.
 The Home News takes the po- sition that to establish a school at Jelks would simply mean to establish precedent which could not be- carried out and maintain the higher grades we now have for a reason that can be ex-. plained in three words lack of funds.
 We feel sure that the writer of the above letter is laboring under a false impression about the po- sition the board takes in this matter any way. He frankly states that he knows nothing of the finances of the district, and we believe that is largely the reason he takes the position that he does.

AFTER A GOOD SCHOOL

We are glad to have with us again as residents J. M. Kellogg and family of Cotton Plant and Walter Reneau and family of DeView. MT. Kellogg moves here to have charge of the Eek hardt 6 Lennon heading mill and MT. Reneau has moved here sole ly for the purpose of giving his children the benefit of the higher grades of high school work which his children could not get at De- View they having finished the 7th grades there. If our school board was required to maintain a small school in each section of this district, the school we now have here would be only a 7th grade school instead of a 10th grade as at present. Which would you, MT. and Mrs. Patron, rather have, the 7th or the 10th? We believe it best as we now have it, don't you?

CONCERNING OUR SCHOOL
CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE

the district it is estimated we can find more children of scholastic age located as far away from our present high school as those who reside at Jelks and certainly the patrons in that section would request that a school be estab- lished in that territory. The board certaianly would also have to give them.a school just as they had done at Jelks. What is true of the southeastern portion is possibly true of the northern part of the district, therefore it is plain enough to see that the directors can not establish such precedent because of the fact that it would be impossible to carry out such a plan to all.
 Another thing to be considered is the facilities of getting to school from Jelks as compared to that of getting to it from the southeastern section. The roads will naturally be better from Jelks than from the other direc- tion, and yet. that is not all for we have livery teams and auto mobiles running daily to and from Jelks and most all the time during the winter months a local freight both ways every day up- on which the pupils may make the trip. rain or shine. In the southeastern section they have no train, or livery team and autos, so by making a compari- son, we readily find that the pupils at Jelks are ideally located

THE VALUE OF TRUTH

Truth in businessisjust as important as truth in everyday life; truth creates confidence, establishes goodwill and builds a reliability that will not be wrecked by the storms of competition.
 Through three generations people have learned to place reliance on the advertised words of Scott's Emulsion, because they are untarnished, unex- aggerated trllisms about a household remedy of real and actual worth.
 The popularity of Scott's Emulsion is increasing as intelligence advances, because in these days of adulterations it continues to guarantee pure cod liver oil incidentally perfected with glycerine and hypophosphites to build strength, im- prove the blood and strengthen the lungs. Itis free from alcohol O. opiates-a whole some food-tonic, truthfully advertised.

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST
 THOMAS MOTT OSBORNE
Made in Open Court by Assistant Dis
 trct Attorney FaIIon.

White Plains, N Y. Dec. 13.-Seri- ous charges against the character of Thomas Mott Osborne, warden of Sing Sing prison, were made in open court today before Justice Morschauser by Assistant District Attorney William J. Fallon, who is directing the grand jury investigation into conditions at the prison.
 George Gordon Battle, MT. Osborne's counsel, objected to such statements becoming a matter of record, where upon the district attorney replied that he had twenty affidavits to support the charges.
 Though the Sing Sing investigation is merely in the grand jury stage, it came into court over the question of MT. Osbornes refusal to reveal con feSsions made to him by conVicts at the prison. He contended that if he revealed such confessions the prison CTS would lose confidence in him. If after going before the grand jury, MT. Osborne still refused to answer the questions, the court said he would deal with the matter then.

ZEPPELIN AIRsHIP DESTROYED
 BY RUSSIAN ARTILLERY
Charred Bodies of German Crew Were Extricated from Debris and Buried.

Petrograd, via London, Dec. IS, S.15 D. m-Russian artillery destroyed a Zeppelin airsship on the night of Dec. 5, according to the details which have just arrived near the station of Kal kun, on the Libau-Romin railway.
 The dirigible made it's appearance from the direction of Novo Alexan- drovsk, passing over the Russian po- sitions going toward Dvinsk. Its po- sition was revealed by a powerful searchlight and Russian artillery open ed fire on it.
 The Zeppelin, however, then rose to a higher altitude and became lost in the clouds.
 Presently the airship reappeared over Kalkun. Its motors had been stopped, which is usually the indica- tion that bombs are to be dropped. At that time the machine was directly over the railway station and the artil- lery began shelling it. One of the shells made a hit and the aircraft be- came enveloped in flames. Under the glare of the searchlights watchers saw it disappear in a cloud of smoke and heard a loud exposion.
 What was left of the machine fell inside the Russian line. The Charred bodies of the German crew were eXtri- cated from the debris and buried. A cross was erected over their grave with the inscription: Honor to the Brave Though They Were Enemies

SHIP TO BRING GERMAN
 WOMEN FROM CAPE TOWN
Collector of Port at Boston is En,
 deaVorins to Charter Steamer.

Boston. Dec. 13.-Under orders from Washington, Edmund Billings, collec- tor of the port, today began inquiries regarding the possibility of chartering an American steamer to send to Cape Town to bring back 150 German wo- men and children reported to be anxious to leave South Africa. Up to tonight his agents were unsuccessful in their quest.
 Accompanying the orders was a copy of letter from the United States con- sul general at Cape Town to the de- partment of commerce and labor. De- scribing the plight of the women and children, forced to remain in territory of an enemy country against their wishes. the letter explained that the trouble arose over refusal of the Brit ish steamship lines to take them as passengers. This action, it was ex- plained was not due to any antina- thy by the steamship lines. but be- cause of feeling that existed among crews and passengers of the vessels.
