DISASTROUS FIRE AT SACO

DIcAo hOUS FlKE AL SACO
A large part of the business dis
trict of Saco was wiped out by fire
Saturday morning, September 25th,
the total damage being estimated at
from $500 0to $4,000.
The fire started in tailor shop, a
pan of gasoline becoming aflame and
set fire to the building. The fire
spread so rapidly that all efforts to
save the adjoining buildings were fu-
tile and all energy was expended in
getting the goods out of the store
in hopes of saving them. The heat,
however pecame so intense that piles
of the goods in the street caught fire
and We're destroyed.
Almost the entire block of buildings
directly opposite the depot were in
the area covered by the flames. Those
suffering the heaviest losses were E.
T. Reimer, proprietor of the Reimer
Mercantile Co., the Commercial Ho-
tel, Chinese Restaurant and sal
oon belonging to John jacobson, and
the store occupied by the Fair Store,
the stock of which was owned by S.
H. Orvis of this city.

special investigation of the case and
ascertain if there were sufficient facts
to warrant action against Waller. Ac-
cordingly he directed Agent Richeson
of Whitehall, to go to Scobey and
delve into the matter. 1t appears
that Collector King had received in
timation that more wheat was COM
ing from Canada to the elevators here
and at other points than had been ac-
counted for and he wanted to know
the facts.
Agent Richeson came here and made
an inquiry and reported to his chief,
so it is alleged that there had been
a considerable movement of wheat
from the north side of the boundary
to elevators in this country and the
total was so great that it was decid-
ed to check up Walters books on me
subject. This was done and it is
averred that the cash he had turned
in and accounted for as customs on
wheat was some hundreds of dollars
short of the alleged correct amount.
The taft on wheat is 10 cents tne
bushel and every hundred dollars of
the alleged shortage would indicate
the entry of one thousand bushels of
wheat.
There is no charge on the par, Of
the customs service officials that Wal
ler was in collusion with elevator men
or wheat growers in the matter. In
fact the customs officials have merely
traced the reports to point wnere
charges were laid against Waller, he
being in the classified service, he will
now be permitted to answer them be-
fore the board named by the civil SER
vice commission, so far as the customs
service is concerned.
Waller is married and has family.
He has been in the service for six or
seven years, having been appointed
early in the term of John G. Blair as
collector of the port of Great Falls,
and this is the first time, so it is said,
that his actions have ever been under
the shadow of suspicion.

RUN OVER BY ENGINE
Malcolm Summerville Accidentally
Killed in Yards Friday Night.

Malcolm Summerville Accidentally
Killed in Yards Friday Night.
Malcolm Summerville, laborer on
the Great Northern Bridge gang was
killed in the railroad yards Friday
night, September oath, when an en-
gine struck him, amputating his legs
and left arm.
While the exact time of the acci-
dent could not be ascertained, it is
believed that he was killed between
$3.50 and ten o'clock. As there We're
no eye witnesses, just how it occurred
cannot be stated.
Summerville had been working on
the bridge gang for the Great North
ern, but was discharged on September
18th. He was around town Friday,
afternoon but the last anyone saw of
him was about 8 o'clock in the eve
ming, when Lee Lovingfoss, who is al
so employed on the bridge gang, saw
him start down the tracks.
The body was found shortly after
$3.50, lying between the rails of the
round house track. AS several en-
gines had passed over the spot, be-
tween 8 and ten o'clock, it was hard
to tell by which one Summerville was
killed. Hostler j. F. Owings stated
at the Coroner's inquest that he had
passed over the spot where Summer
vile was killed, several times, but
knew nothing of the accident until he
was told of it shortly after the body
was found.
The testimony of witnesses at the
Coroner's inquest showed conclusive
ly that Summerville was in an intoxi-
Gated condition shortly before the ac-
, cident and he probably came to his
death while in this condition.
! Relatives of the decease were To-
Gated by the coroner, at Holton, Maine
and they were informed of his untime-
ly death. Malcolm Summerville or
"Mike" as he was known about town,
was about AZ years of age. His as
sociates stated that he had had a
liberal education and was at one time
in the hardware business at Holton.

'nless visit was made to the
Sta air and the entire show look
ed ov Some of the older counties
were in a position to expend four
times the amount Valley County could
in gathering the exhibits and placing
it in the agricultural building. This
enabled them to make better show
ing, although our booth received hun
dreds of compliments for the products
shown"
"Valley County could not win in the
collective exhibits for the reason that
to go into this division to win a great
deal more money must be expended
than we can afford, l believe, how
ever, that more satisfaction is derived
from winning large number Of in
dividual premiums for the farmers
producing the exhibits, than other
wise. More credit reverts to a coun-
ty that wins large number of prem
iums in grains and vegetables than to
the one with the most handsome ex-
hibit.''
Experience is great asset in MAX
ing exhibits and competing for prem
iums at the State Fair and the know
ledge gained last year was big help
this year making it possible this year
for Valley County to take so many
more premiums. Another year / be-
lieve even larger number can be won
by putting into effect the knowledge
gained this year."
"Our corn came in for particular at
tention as did the wheat sent by
Chas. Van Hauwaert. The large ears
of corn and tall stalks attracted many
to the exhibit. Mr.. A. ]. Dow, secre-
tary of the National Corn Show to be
held in St. Paul in December stated,
the showing of Montana corn outclass-
ed Minnesota, Dakota, and Nebraska.
He predicted Montana big winner
if proper showing is made at the Ma
tional Corn Show"
The State Fair this year was ex-
cellent, the quality of the exhibits
being far above those shown in pre-
vious years. 1t has been bumper
year for all parts of Montana and
the showing of products reflects great
credit to the State, adding strength
to the claim of Montana being the
premier agricultural state of the
country.

If that portion of the International

BIG AUTO RACE SUNDAY
Ford and Buick Will Decide Chanl-
pionship for $1,000 Purse

PlONSNlP AOA ~AsVVO ~A0>
All is now ready for the starters
gun at the Valley County Fair
Grounds Sunday afternoon, when at 3
o'clock the big automobile race be-
tween the Buick Six and the Ford will
be staged. Intense interest aroused
as a result of the race held at the
fair has brought about an enthusias-
tic bunch of supporters of the cars
entered. Each is being backed by the
loyal sports of the county according
to their respective likes and assur-
ance is given the public that real
race will be witnessed.
Every preliminary detail of the rae
ing event has been completed, the au
tos are ready, the drivers are on their
toes, the starter, timers, judges and
all other officials selected so that the
event promises to be put on without
any delay.
Ten miles is the distance to be trav-
eled and from claims being made by
the respective contenders, Disbrow,
Oldfeld and all other speed marvels
of dirt tracks will be forced out of
the limelight by the rapid travelling
to be observed next Sunday.
The track is in fine condition so
there is no doubt about fast time be-
ing made. The drivers know the
track as every day the cars entered
are taken to the grounds and given
workout, keeping them primed and
in perfect trim for the occasion. A
large attendance is anticipated at the
race, it will start promptly at 3
o'clock, unless rain prevents, in which
case the race will be postponed one
week. An admission charge of fifty
cents will be charged, the proceeds to
be applied upon the expense of pre-
pairing the cars for the race, and the
expenses incident to staging the show.
Everyone who enjoys seeing good
race should be on the grounds Sunday
afternoon, where all that can be de-
sired in speed event will be shown.
The prediction has been made that the
cars will run in less than 80 seconds
for each lap during the entire ten
miles.

REPORTS OF
BUMPER CROPS
Remarkable Yields of Wheat and
Oats in North Country
THRESHING JUST STARTED
Yield of 81 Bushels of Oats Reported
"a of Wheat and % of Flax.
Grain of High Grade.

The marvellous fertility of the nor
thern part of Valley County is again
being shown this fall by the big yields
of grain harvested by the farmers in
that section. The grain was later in
ripening than in the Milk River Val
ley, but the yields surpass anything
in this part of the county.
Threshing has begun in the North
Country and the yield is turning out
far better than even the most opti-
mistic predictions, says the Opheim
Optimist. The unbounded faith in the
great productivity of the soil that has
made every North Country citizen a
natural born booster is being justi-
fed in as abundant crop as any
farming section was ever blessed with.
The grain is practically all cut and
the landscape is dotted with shocks
as thick as hair on dog, and with
a dozen threshing rigs humming and
the golden grain pouring out, the hope
of the homesteader is amply justified.
Max Kruger, who lives northeast of
Opheim reports the biggest yield for
the first Of the week. His oats
made 80 bushels per acre and his
wheat went a.. This looks like a big
yield, but we expect to see it beaten
when fuller threshing returns come in.
One of the first crops to be thresh-
ed in the Opheim country was that
of County Commissioner Carl j. An
derson the first of the week. The
yield was $500 bushels of oats on 100
acres. John St. Germain had 60
bushels of oats to the acre in the
same neighborhood. J. Pudois' flax
turned out % bushels to the acre and
his wheat made 43 bushels. Hevener
and Brathovde had field of oats
than ran 78 bushels to the acre.
In the Baylor neighborhood, the
Bergtoll's macaroni wheat made AZ
bushels to the acre. Forrest Hale's
and Rasmussen's went 26 and Peter
sons marquis made 81. Oats in that
neighborhood threshed out 60 bushels
on an average.
An example of the increase in yield
over expectations is the case of Art
Bergeson, west of Opheim. He built
granary this fall with what he
thought was ample capacity for his
crop, but he came to thresh, he filled
the granary before he was anywhere
near done, filled the chicken house, a
piano box and all other spare recep-
tacles around the place, including the
bed of spring wagon and still had
oats. His yield was 65 bushels to the
acre.
Big yields of grain are also re-
ported in the Glentana country. Wheat
on the Bill Niehoff place, two miles
west of Glentana went thirty-five
bushels to the acre on an eighty acre
field.
Ben Pagan of Avondale has beer
hauling wheat to the local elevators
this week that averaged about 81
bushels to the acre on an eighty acre
field, and it is an exceptionally good
grade.
