GIVES FAKE MORTGAGE.

George Harris, alias George West,
sprung a new Wallingford stunt on
one of the local merchants Wednes-
day and came near getting away with
a complete new outfit of clothes.
Wednesday, Harris went into one of
the local stores and made arrange
ments to buy some clothes. He gave
a mortgage on four cows, and nothing
appeared wrong with it as Harris de-
scribed the cattle in detail, even to the
brands. He was fitted up from shoes
to hat with brand new outfit of togs
and when he donned his duds he
looked like one of the pictures on a
fashion plate.
Thursday it was found that the
mortgage was fraudulent, that Harris
did not own any such property, as he
had mortgaged, and the sheriff's Of
flee was notified. Harris had been
seen around town Wednesday night,
! but a search here on Thursday failed
to reveal any trace of him. The Of
ficers visited his place in the north
country and then went to Nashua
where they picked him up.
He was given hearing before JUS
tice l.. P. Evans Thursday afternoon
and was bound over to the district
court.
The clothes he was wearing were
returned to the store where he had
obtained them, and now instead OF
being "dolled" up in the latest styles
he is wearing overalls.

CROWD AT DEMONSTRATION.

Over three hundred women were at
the c. E. Peterson Furniture store on
Saturday afternoon when demonstra-
tions Of the Free sewing machine
were given by an expert and one of
the machines was given away abso-
lutely free. The store was crowded
to its very doors with women and
girls, and numbers were given to
every one present. Then Miss Ellen
Holland drew a number form box
and the corresponding number was
held by Mrs. ]. H. Davis, who was
given the sewing machine. I. R. Bo-
rum, representative of the Free
Sewing Machine company, demon
strated the good points of the ma
chine, stating that it lasts longer
runs easier and works lighter than
any other machine on the market
This is the only sewing machine that
is insured for five years from the
time you buy it, thus protecting you
from defective machine.

MAY EXTEND POWER LINES.

Indications at present are that the
Montana Power company may extend

from Havre to points as far as Malta.
says the Havre Plaindealer. Repre-
sentatives of the company are said
to be looking over the towns to the
east of Havre now, and if the demand
is sufficiently large it is probable that
not later than the early spring the
company will start construction of q
transmission line to furnish the cities
east of Havre with electricity.

BANKS OF STATE
SHOW BIG INCREASE
Deposits Greater Than Ever-Big
Wheat Crop the Cause.

Deposits Greater Than Ever-Big
Wheat Crop the Cause.
Never in the financial history of
Montana have the banks been on a
sounder basis and never have the re-
sources been greater than at the pres
ent time. A most optimistic situa-
ton. reflecting the exact financial
condition of Montana, is shown in
the November statement given out
Yesterday by Superintendent of Banks
H. S. Magraw.
Between the dates Of September 2
and November 10, the resources in
creased to the surprising amount Of
over $6,000,000 and Mr.. Magraw de-
clared yesterday that he felt conf
dent there would be a further in
crease when the next statement is
issued. Mr.. Magraw has reached this
conclusion because of reports from
banks that he has received since the
call was issued, November 10.
Wheat Crop Responsible.
There is an increase in the item
"due from banks" of over $4,5O0, 900
since the last statement was issued.
This is due to the big increase in de-
posits that have flowed into banks
with the sale of the wheat crop and
other farm produce.
The statement shows a decrease in
savings deposits, but as a matter of
fact, there has been an increase. The
statement shows falling off in this
item amounting to 1924 248.61. This,
however, is due to the fact that the
new banking law defined checking
and savings deposits as demand and
time deposits, respectively, and for
the first time these were listed as re-
quired by law. In the present state
ment 30-day time certificates are in
cluded in the item slime deposits"
Savings Deposits.
AS a matter of fact, there has
never been time in the history of
Montana when the banks failed to
show an increase in savings deposits
except at the time of the failure of
the State Savings bank in Butte, and
the 1907 furry.
Demand deposits increased more
than $7,O0O,OOO. The total resources
of state bank and trust companies
amounted to $62,00O,000 in round
numbers as compared with $56,000,-
900 in September, which month
showed the next largest increase Of
any statements issued prior to it. In
private banks resources jumped
from nearly s9,000,000 to nearly $10,.
100000. The total resources of al
banks are OIL 1896, ,636.54.

MY FRIEND

He was my friend. He understood
All the vagaTies of my mood
Say was joyous, he was gay;
If sad, he felt the selfsame way.
He held, with trusty common sense
All that I told, in confidence.
He died. And now l look around,
But such a friend is seldom found.
I miss his kindly presence, yet
A dog like that is hard to get!
