+. j. Cox, formerly a resident of

in the riverside city, cut a ridiculous
figure by posing as a retired army
officer, is in trouble at San Francisco

in Reno. 1t is said hat he was ar
rested on a charge of defrauding a
hotel keeper out of $500. The
charge was brought by Noah Gray,
proprietor of the Shattuck hotel. He
created a great furore in San Fran

subsequent investigation by an es-
recially appointed army officer re-

PloW Fire Breaks
Now, And Be Safe

This is the time of year that
fire breaks Should be plowed.
There has been less agitation on
this subject in the papers of the
state this season than any past
season we know of and there
never was the need of fire
breaks that there will be this
fall. One party having made a
drive of about seventy-fve miles
remarked that he did not see a
single fire break in the whole
territory. This subject is one
which should be given immedi-
ate attention. With the unusual
crop of grass that covers the
prairie this year there is grave
danger of many people having
great losses from prairie fires.
The township fire guards
should all be plowed, in order
to make them effective a strip
of grass should be moved along
the side of them and burned be-
fore there is danger of the fire
spreading. In fact it is getting
dangerous to even do this work,
but at any rate the fire guards
should be plowed and made eff
fective at once. Fire guards
should be plowed around hay
stacks and farm property, other
wise there is likely to be some
thing more destructive than a
hail storm to the people of
this section of the state. This
subject seemingly has been
given less attention this year
than ever before at a time when
it should be just the opposite.

Silence Not
: Wanted By Gazette

We surely do not ask either
Lennon or Hettinger papers to
refrain from boosting the splen-
did crops that the farmers in
this section are raising as we
know that if they are looking
for good crops they will find
them right here. as there is nc
better soil to be found in the
northwest than that within a
goodly radius of Haynes. We
simply mentioned that an omis-
sion had been made that had
been noticed by readers of artic-
les namely the more definite
location of the farmers, as it is
customary in news stories to
give the address of the party
under discussion. So what we
meant to suggest is not silence
but a little more definitenss. The
fine alfalfa field of Mont Monroe
mentioned a short time ago in
the Lennon Herald IS within a
mile and a half of Haynes and
Mr.. Monroe is one Of the promi-
neut business men of Haynes as
well as a successful farmer and
sheep rancher. We were glad
to see the publicity Haynes re-
ceived in the Adams County
Record last week, as we are
fully aware of the value of
newspaper advertising. Haynes
