WELL KNOWN YOUTH
KILLED IN JOY RIDE

One OF the saddest fatal accidents
that we have ever been called upon tc
chronicle, was that which occurred
last Friday night, Christmas eve
when Roy G. Ferguson, aged "a years
a son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ralsey G.. Fer.
guson of this city, died as the result
OF an automobile accident in which
the car turned completely over and
righted itself at the bottom of an
embankment in the neighborhood of
Riverside park
The accident is said to have occur
red about ten o'clock on the night in
question and, according to the finding
of the coroner's jury at the inquest
held on Tuesday, was caused by
drunkenness and careless handling of
the car, Buick "6', by Charlie Bow
lin the driver, and Vincent Carter,
the operator. Both these young men
are at present locked up in the coun-
ty Jail awaiting further legal action
by the county attorney, the exact ma
ture OF which action has not yet been
made public. The owner of the car
is said to be Tony Glorioso, the form
er proprietor of South Side grocery.
Rumor has it that the two arrested
men, in spirit of fun struggled for
possession of the steering gear and
that as result of which the car ran
off the road into the embankment,
turning completely over sideways and
landing top up on it's wheels. When
asked by his companions if he had
been hurt, young Ferguson replied
that he was all right. His actions be-
lied his words, however, and as he
was seen to be in fainting condition,
he was hurried to the Glendive Gen
eral hospital where he expired short
ly after. The car was a new Buick
and was being operated and driven by
the two men now under arrest as a
livery car, being used largely, it is
in the red light traffic.
The body was prepared for burial
at loves undertaking parlors, and
the funeral was held Monday after
noon from the M. E. church, the Rev.
W. B. Bliss officiating. Interment was
made in the city cemetery, the funer-
al being in charge of the local lodge
of the Ancient Order of United Work
men, nearly all the members of which
body acted as active and honorary
pallbearers.
The deceased leaves devoted
father, mother and sister to mourn
his loss.

T. A. Stewart of San Francisco,
travelling representative of the Alex
ander Hamilton Institute of Business
and Commerce, New York City, was a
business visitor in the city last week,
calling on local business and profess
sional men and bankers in the inter-
ests of his college. Mr.. Stewart is
on his way to the Big City to attend
the annual convention of their sales
men which is being held this week.
He left for the east last Thursday.

at the present time of the farmers
themselves, many of whom are prone
to watch and follow the activities of
Jimmy Patton, the Chicago wheat
king, whom, it is said, is quitely buy
ing up an enormous line of May fu-
lures in the expectation of selling out
later on at a record-breaking profit.
Lumber Business Revves.
While the wheat shipments de-
crease, the through transportation of
lumber from the coast more than
makes up for that loss in revenue to
the railroads. 1t is said that not for
great many years has the lumber in
dustry has such favorable prospects
as at present. More men than ever
are now employed in the great lumber
regions of the northwest and trainload
rough lumber passes almost daily
through Glendive to Chicago and to
other Great Lake points for re-ship-
ment further east by steamer. It is
not known to just what extent the
temporary closing of the Panama Can
al can be thanked for this condition of
transportation prosperity, but we
have yet to talk to a railroad man
from trackwalker to general manager
who has failed to give that as the sole
reason for the present general in
crease in railroad business.
Supt. Lantry Sends Greetings.
Following the custom recently es-
tablished on many divisions of the
Northern Pacific system, Superintend-
ent T. H. Lantry has mailed to every
employee of the road on this division
a Christmas card, conveying the good
wishes of the officials for the coming
year of 1916.

All Details Attended to.
The details of the transaction on
the part of the new concern were at

the sale having been given him at sew
eral recent meetings of the board of
directors and stockholders.

NATIVE DAUGHTER TO GIVE
CONCERT MONDAY NIGHT

Mrs. Irene Burns Albert, known
from coast to coast as one of the most
artlstically successful church and ora.
torlo sopranos in the country, returns
to her native city of Glendive to ap.
pear in concert, after an absence of
six years.
Mrs. Albert recently returned from
an extended visit to New York city
where she studied and took up sort
OF postgraduate course in higher
vocal technique under such masters
OF the voice as M. Tanara, Herr Max
Heinrich and Nine Camille DeCreuse.
For the past five years she has held
the position of leading soprano solo,
ist at the First Presbyterian church
in Portland, Ore, from which city
comes some splendid press reports of
her successes in that part of the coun-
try, several of the Portland papers re-
ferring to her as lone of Portland's S
own and most admired singers" Be-
sides church singing, Mrs. Albert has
devoted considerable of her time to
Oratorio and concert work at which
she is said to excel. She possesses a
pure lyric soprano of remarkable
beauty and flexibility and stage and
platform presence that fairly radiates
her remarkably pleasing personality.
Mrs. Albert is truly a native daugh-
ter, her parents being Mr.. and Mrs.
Sam E. Burns, one of the original
pioneer families of this city. Their
eldest son, Ralph, student in his last
year at the Oregon Agricultural col
lege, is also in the city spending the
holidays with them.
Not only will the people be glad to
--elccme this former Glendive girl to
their midst, even on so short visit,
but they will be more than pleased,
the lovers of high class vo-
cal music, to find that the out-of-town
press reports of her marvellous gifts
are in no sense exaggerated. The con-
cert will be given under the auspices
of the Ladies Aid Society at the M.
E. church, next Monday evening, jan
uary 3rd, 1916, at $3.50 o'clock. Ad

CORN SlLAGE WITH ALFALFA
FOR WINTER STOCK FEEDING

No forage for winter use Is as cheap
and as good in it's nutritive effect as
corn silage. Used with alfalfa hay 1t
forms a well-nigh perfect ration lot
many classes of farm livestock.
Silos are not numerous in Montana.
In several communities they have
been tried and the interest is growing.
County Agent Taylor of Miles City
can probably count more silos than
any other demonstration of their value
and use. Hillman at Kalispell, Han
sen at Missoula, Christopher at Hunt
lev and G. E. Piper, Dawson county
agriculturist, have been spreading the
silo gospel.
In the west where lumber is pienti-
full and cheap, wooden silos, slaves OF
others are probably most practlcaL
Concrete will be used where lumber ID
too expensive. Pit silos are quite
practical in dry areas and where
money is scarce. For fifty or seven
ty-five dollars a farmer may buy ma

Enormous Payroll
on Northern Pacific
Past Two Months Break Traffic Records-
Greater Number Of Men Employed---
Lumber Shipments Excel

The general prosperity of the coun.
try at large is convincingly reflected
by the enormous payroll this month
and last on the Yellowstone division
of the Northern Pacific Railway com
pany. Last month the amount paid
out by the local office of the road was
$4,000, while this month the pay
roll will amount to fully 100000.
These pay checks represent the
amount of money paid out in salaries
and wages to trainmen and engine
men all over the division and to the
local employees of the shops, round
house, freight and other Offices of the
company. 1t is conservatively esti-
mated that nearly one-half of this
amount goes to employees who work
and actually reside in the city. Only
during the most severe spell of hard
times does the local payroll of employ
ees actually residing in the city run
below the $4,000 mark.
Not Enough Trainmen.
A well known local official is author
ity for the statement that more men
are employed on the Yellowstone di-
vision of the road than for the past
three years and that nearly all the en-
ployees are working full time. The
trouble for some time past has been
to get enough trainmen, and this fact
is said to account for so many new
faces being seen among the knights
of the rail-" On account of the scare
ity of brakemen, firemen and switch
men a number of local positions had
to be filled by out-of-town men,
large number of whom, it is thought,
will continue to make their home in
the city.
Wheat Movement Falls OFF.
While the eastbound movement of
wheat during the month of November
is said to have broken all local re-
cords, shipments of that commodity
continue to drop off daily, local rail
road men estimating that fully 33 1-3
percent of all the grain in the county
is being held for an expected increase
in price. That wheat will reach the
top price of s1.5O within the next few
unless the wheat manipulat-
