oberman Loses Prison Contract.

oberman Loses Prison Contract.
D. M. Oberman, a prison labor con-
tractor and competitor of the state in
the manufacture of overalls, has had
his contract abrogatcd by the board Of
prison inspectors.
Lester S. Parker, who was appoint
ed superintendent of the prison in
dustries, at a salary of $4,000 a year,
will have full charge of the state fac
tories in future.
Under Oborman's arrangement with
the state he sold the raw materials
to the state, paid the state rs cents
a day for each man the state employ
ed in its own factory, and agreed to
bear the overhead expense and the
expense of wear on the machinery.
In his own factory, under his pri-
vate contract, he pays rs cents a day
for the convicts and Of course pays
the overhead expenses and wear costs
and buys his own raw materials. The
principal difference is that in his con-
tract with the state factory, the state
furnished the capital, while in his own
factory, he was required to furnish his
cwn money to carry W the business.

I+,l;,n Merchantmen
Sunk by Austrians
e.Ln,rpe Said To Have Been Responsible
'' Hundreds Meet Death In The Sea
Investigation Being Made

sinking of the Ancona caused a sensa.
tion here tonight as it was regarded
as foreshadowing new controversy
between the United States and Aus
tria similar to the critical dispute with
Germany that followed the topedoing
of the Lusitania. Before making any
communication, officials awaited in
formation on two points-whether the
vessel was torpedoed without warn
ing or whether any Americans were
among the victims.
Should it develop that the Ancona
was given warning and ignored it and
attempted to escape the rules of nav
al warfare, according to the Washing
ton governments view, justified the
use of force. If she was attacked with
out warning and case paralleling the
Lusitania develops, the attitude of the
United States probably will be along
the line already followed with Ger
many-the dispatch of note demand
ing disavowal of the act, reparation
and assurances that such incidents
will not occur in the future.
~ Americans Believed Lost
Washington, Nov. 10.-About 27
Americans are believed to have been
lost with the torpedoed Italian liner
Ancona, according to a cable to the
state department tonight from Ambas-
sador Page at Rome.
Rome, Nov. 10.-Additional reports
received here are that the Ancona was
sunk without an opportunity for her
passengers to escape. The reports say
that the submarine first fired warn
ing shot, whereupon the Ancona i'm
mediately stopped. The shot then
struck the ship, one forward and one
aft, but it is uncertain whether they
came from gun or were torpedoes.
An explosion resulted from one Of
the shots and the steamer sank rapid
ly before the boats could be lowered or
help arrive from the wireless call.

ing process will be accomplished by
forcing water from the clear water
well-the bottom of which, by the way,
will be far below the bottom of the
river bed-up through the pipes into
the sand by pump pressure, the mud
dy overflow then being conveyed by
gravity through separate mains into
the river at a point presumably be-
low the Northern Pacific pumping
station to the north of the city site.
Water is First Purified
After leaving the settling basins
and before it has been allowed to flow
into the sand filter beds, the entire
water supply will be subjected to an
infusion of chemicals which are cal
culated to kill even the most ener-
getic microbe. The chemical which
will probably be used is known as
liquid Chlorine and Mr.. Handforth is
authority for the statement that it
will be fully equal in strength and
germ killing properties to the Hypo-
chlorite of Lime now used by him.
When the water is particularly mud
dy, as it always is during the entire
spring and summer, a small quantity
of powdered alum is used for the pur-
pose of precipitating the mud in the
settling basins before the water en-
ters the sand filter beds.
Estimate will Not Be Exceeded
1t was Mr.. Smiths personal opinion
that the original tentative estimate of
a maximum total of $4,000 for the
entire work, given by Mr.. Burns on
his recent visit to the city, will not be
exceeded The filtration and purifica-
tion plant, including all apparatus and
equipment will not exceed $4,000, and
if every wooden main in the city is
replaced with cast iron pipes, the cost
for that work cannot possibly exceed
total of $45,O0O. It is more than
probable that the city council will de-
eide to replace only the most import
ant sections of the city's underground
water system at the time of the in
stallation of the plant, the other Sec
tions of the city to be modernized from
time to time as the financial condition
of the city would warrant.

MONTANA GETS BIG PLUM
FOR AGRICULTURAL WORK

A total Of $56,232 is to be spent in
Montana during the fiscal year 1916
10 Tor agricultural extension work
under the federal Smith-Lever bill.
mat amount has been set aside in
the national extension work budget
and will be supplied by the federal
government and state and county
Smlth-Lever appropriations. These
facts, accompanied by table showing
the amounts to be spent in each state
In the union, are contained in the cur
rent issue of the weekly news letter of
the department of agriculture.
The total amount set aside for the
work is $4,820,OO0, Of which 81 ,OSO, 900
is from federal Smith-Lever funds,
$925,O00 from appropriations of the
United States department of agricul-
ture for farmers cooperative demon
stration work, and $4,000 from other
bureaus Of the department. OF the
funds contributed from sources with
in the state, 100000 is from state
Smith-Lever funds, made up mainly of
direct appropriations of the state leg
1slatures. In addition to funds used
under the Smith-Lever act, $628,OOO
is appropriated by the state legisla-
lures for extension work, ,$225, 900 by
colleges from funds under their imme-
diate control, $921,0OO by county au-
thorities and $4,000 from miscellan-
eous sources.
Of the amount available in Montana
1852 is to be used for administra-
tion purposes. Five hundred dollars
will be devoted to educational publica-
tions. The expenses of county agents
will consume $4,000 more. Five thou
sand and seven hundred dollars will
be spent in home demonstration work,
and $4,000 in boys and girls club
work. Yellowstone county has no
county agricultural expert.
While by no means among the larg-
est, Montana's appropriation ranks
well in size with that of the majority
Of states. Wyoming will spend $43,-
GAL; North Dakota, $S3,556; South
Dakota, $63,341; Washington, SCI, $50;
Oregon, $1O4,555; Idaho, $34,409; Ala

70 HAVE DAILY
MAIL ROUTE FOR CIRCLE

Through the untiring efforts OF Con-
,rassman Tom Stout, more than those
n anv other person, Circle will, on
December 1st have daily, through mail
service from Glendive. Cars will un-
admittedly be used and the schedule
rails for one car to leave Glendive
every morning at 6 o'clock, except
Sundays, and another to leave Circle
every morning at the same hour. Each
car is scheduled to stop at three post
Offices on the way and to arrive at 8
o'clock .. m. at their destination.
There Is also a change in the route
from here to Paxton. The new sched-
ue for that point calls for run from
Circle to Paxton, leaving here at 6 a.
N. and arriving at Paxton at II a. m.
At p. m. it leaves Paxton and arrives
here In the evening. The days are
Monday Wednesday and Friday.
The new arrangement of affairs will
be Of the greatest convenience to the
business men of Circle and to the gen.
eral public as well and the speed with
which the thing has gone through,
from the time that the petitions were
started, until the new route was es-
hblished is remarkable.

Filtration Engineer
Completes Survey
Ground Gone Over By Kansas City Expert
Original Estimate Not Exceeded
How New Plant Will Work

G. A. Smith, civil engineer and water
filtration expert in the employ of the
big water filtration and contracting
firm of Burns and Mcdonald of Kansas
City, Mo-, arrived in town last Thurs
day evening from the east and started
out the following morning in company
with City Engineer F. H. Handforth
for an initial inspection of the present
pumping plant near the river bridge.
Mr.. Smith also went over the ground
under which is laid the present water
mains
Present Site Large Enough
It was his personal opinion that the
present water pumping site will be
sufficiently large to accommodate the
proposed plant, being approximately
Is by 100 feet in area. He also stat
ed that the present settling basin, COM
prising three large concrete weirs
through which the city water passes
on it's present initial journey from the
river to the kitchen sinks, will no
doubt be used as a part of the propos-
ed system.
What it is and How it Works
The proposed filtration and purifica-
ton system of the city water supply
can be briefly described as river water
washed in sand and purified by chemi-
Gals. The process can be briefly de-
scribed as follows: The water is first
pumped by one of the present electric
ally driven pumps from the river into
the present concrete settling basins,
and after it pours its way in and out
of the three weirs is conveyed by grav-
ity into the three or four sand filtra-
tion beds where the last vestige of
mud and other foreign matter is en-
tirely removed. From the bottom of
the sand filtration beds, the water
again flows by gravity into large
concrete clear water we'll of approx
mately 25O,00O gallons capacity, from
whence it is then pumped by high
duty electrically driven pump up to
the water reservoir which graces the
immortal butte known as Hungry
Joe." From the reservoir the water
is forced, again by gravity, into the
homes, public buildings and business
places of the city, completing the cir
cult at rate of from a half to more
than a million gallons daily.
The Sand Filtration Beds.
The sand filtration beds, either three
or four in number, can be described
as concrete pits about 20 feet square
and containing on the bottom from 80
inches to three feet of graded sand
and fine gravel. Directly on the bot
tom of each pit there will be laid a
network of pipes with apertures sever
al inches apart through which the
water seeps on it's journey to the clear
water we'll. This is known as the
Standard Rapid Sand Filtration sys-
tenn, and is the same as that in opera
ton at Miles City, Billings and other
Montana cities. The beds will be so
that additional half-million
gallon per day capacity units can be
added if necessary at an approximate
cost of $4,000 per unit.
Even the Sand Will be Cleaned
BY this system even the sand will
be cleaned. This cleaning or scaveng-

JOE LOckEN
SUccUMBs TO INJURY

Joseph Locken, aged 20 years. the
young man who was found BY his
orotner IN an unconscious condition
last Wednesday a short distance from
tnelr home near Lindsay, died at the
Glendive General hospital Monday
morning as a result of his injuries,
without ever ahving regained con-
sciousness. His brother and mother,
tne latter coming from her home in
Roscoe Minn., were with him when he
died. The body was prepared for bur-
lal at Lowe Brothers undertaking par
lors and was shipped Tuesday night on
No. 4 to Roscoe, Mimi, for interment.
the two bereaved relatives accompany
ing the body on it's last journey.
The deceased was one of the most
popular young farmers in the county.
His was one of those rare characters
who seem to spread optimism and
good cheer to all with whom they
come in contact.
Ihe exact nature of the accident
which caused his death will probably
never be known, although it is thought
by his brother who found him, and
others who were called to help bring
him to town, that he was either thrown
from his horse or that the animal trip
ped and fell and in trying to arise
kicked the PROSTATE man in the back
OF the head causing the fracture at
the base of the brain. There was no
other bruise or mark of any kind on
his body.

Elected in government circles gener-
ally President Wilson had retired
early-before the text arrived-but
from a reading of the summary and
Ambassador Gerard's forecast, he had
an accurate impression of what it con-
tanned.
This is expected to give the Ameri-
can governments understanding of
the facts-that the Lusitania was un-
armed and carried no concealed guns,
that she sailed from the United States
a peaceful merchantmen and that un-
der all rules of international law and
humanity the vessel should have been
visited and searched and her passen-
gers transferred to place of safety,
whether carrying ammunition or not
