Woodlee Buys Kane Farm

We have omitted entirely to
mention that the Henry Kane
farm, one of the finest farms there
is over in the famous Lost creek
valley, has recently been sold.
The new owner is Walter
Woodleg of Chicago, who has al
ready moved here with his family
and taken up residence on the
farm. Mr.. Woodleg also shipped
in some horses, machinery, house
hold goods, etc. The horses are
about the finest ever shipped into
the country.
Although Mr.. Kane has sold his
farm he does not intend to leave
this country, but has rented the
Mrs. Stephens farm north of town
which he is farming this year.

Princess Theatre
To Open Soon

Ira Fox, manager Of the loca
show house, had expected to star
the moving picture show the frs
of the month, but has had consid
able trouble in getting his equipp
ment out from Glendive and ir
getting things ready to open up
but with the exception of the
dynamo, which is now in Glendive
has everything ready.
The Anderson hall which here
after will be known as the Princess
Theatre, has now been converted
into an up-to-date show house
1t has been nicely painted, the
screens hung up, movie machine
installed, hall wired, etc.
Mr.. Fox is to run his machine
by electricity, having installed a
large engine and dynamo for this
purpose in a building at the rear
of the theatre, which assures that
the pictures will be strictly first
class and every bit as good as
those shown in larger places.
The entire equipment is brand
new and the best that money can
buy. The theatre will be electric
lighted throughout.
Mr.. Fox is an experienced show
man and knows the business from
a to z, and will no doubt conduct
a show house that Circle may
well feel proud off.
To start with there will be two
shows a week, on Tuesday and
Saturday nights.
Watch this paper for the open
ing date and be sure to be on deck
to take in the first moving picture
show shown in Circle.

Visitor Praises
Redwater Valley

Jas. Brockway accompanied by
Adolph Faessler of Helena, were
Circle visitors Friday.
Mr.. Faessler who is An agent
for the Utah Woolen Mills, is an
old-time friend of Mr.. Brockway
and is making him a visit. They
had not seen one another for %
years. In olden days they used
to ride the range together down
on a ranch in Wyoming.
It was Mr.. Faessler's first trip
into the Redwater Valley. and in
a conversation with the writer he
stated that he was greatly sur
prised to find such a splendid
country as we have here in this
valley. Il have travelled all over
this state, in Wyoming and many
other places but | dare say that
this Redwater Valley is as fine a
country as nave ever seen. 1t is
without a question the cream of
eastern Montana, and will within
a short time became just as well
known and as famous grain
producing basin, as the well
known Gallatin Valley"

GRAND RAPIDS Mich. March 28.-
Grand Rapids once more became the
centre of the Peck poison case today. when
the detectives engaged by the Peck fam.
lily began a systematic effort to trace the
Waite family of the last three or four gem
erations TO disprove the insanity plea
which DIR. Arthur Warren Waite is ex-
pected to make when arraigned in New
York
While Mrs. Waite has repudiated her
husband she believes he is not mentally
sound, and she will do all in her power
10 help i'm securing for him a life sem
tence instead of death in the electric
chair
Mrs, Waite was almost fully recovered
today, She was told that her husband
had called for her repeatedly.
GO to him2 / never want to see him
again." she said. There is no longer any
love in my heart for DIR. Waite, but do
feel sorry for him These charges against
him must be true, but | would never be-
lieve that he intended to kill me unless he
told me so with his own lips He was al
ways too good and kind to me to do any
thing like that.
Il believe Arthur must have been in
sane or he never could have done the
things he did. But don't believe he was
a habtual user of drugs. He was in too
fine physical condition for that / never
saw him smoke or take a drink"

WASHINGTON. March 2S--Thc House
stdetracking the immigration bill by
unanimous consent today gave prepared.
ness the right of way and passed the
$S,6OO,000 urgent deficiency measure for
the army. The bill was made necessary
by the Mexican expedition The vote was
S73 to 1, Meyer London, OF New York,
casting the negative vote.
Chairman j. J. Fitzgerald. of the Ap.
preparation Committee. said the measure
had been reported favorably to the House,
because Secretary of War Baker had
shown the committee that the Mexican
expedition had made necessary the pur.
chase of this additional equipment in the
items of 1000 horses, H. motortrucks. S
high-powered aeroplanes.
This bill" said Representative Fitz-
gerald. carries $500. 600 for the Signal
Corps office. We need high-powered
aeroplanes at once. The low-powered ma
chimes now in service in Mexico are un-
satisfactory in the high attitudes of the
mountainous sections. The sum proposed
would make possible the purchase of ~
high-powered aeroplanes and the neces-
sary equipment, in addition to n large
number of needed motorcycles.
'At the present time. however, it is pro-
posed to purchase only eight aeroplanes
at $4,000 each"
THE little trouble down on the border
ought to make us appreciate that we
learn only by experience" said Republican
Leader Mann, "and that the army learns
only by experience. While nomnally we
have eight aeroplanes on the border, we
actually have only two. We ought to have
had aeroplanes enough there to have To-
Gated the man we seek. We ought to
have enough to keep us in hourly COM
munication with our forces.
~ am going TO ask for a rolcall on
this bill in order to show that in case OF
need the American Congress will vote any
amount of money without dissenting
voice"

WILSON URGES ACTION
ON TRANSPORTATION
Letter Recommends Considera-
tion of Shipping and Rail-
road Problems

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-President
Wilson today in q letter TO House Leader
Claude kitchn urged that the problems
of transportation suggested by the Ad
mnistration now pending in Congress, in.
cluding the shipping bill and the investiga'
ton of railway conditions, be pressed to
early recognition in the House.
The Presidents letter follows:
My dear Mr.. Kitchin:
In considering the program of the
session there are two matters that
seem to me to stand out more promi-
nently than the rest as matters in
which time presses, even though they
should not be deemed to take prece-
dence in intrinsic Importance. 1t
would seem as II the whole move
ment of our trade and industry await
ed on satisfactory solution of our
problems of transportation. That is
the reason why it seems to me that
the shipping bill should be pressed to
an early passage, and / write today to
express the hope that the Senate joint
resolution, No. 60, for the investiga-
tion of conditions of transportation
by railway, may find an early opening
in the business of the House for it's
consideration. / did not put this on
the list of legislation which sug-
gested because it did not. in my mind,
fall under the head of legislation at
all. but only incidental action for the
purpose of laying the groundwork for
future legislation at future session
of the Congress.
The railways of the country are be-
coming more and more the key TO its
successful industry, and 1t seems to
me of capital importance that we
should lay due groundwork of actual
facts for the necessary future legis-
lation. I know that we all want to be
absolutely fair to the railroads, and
it seems to me that the proposed in
vestigation is the first step toward
the fufilment of that desire.
! hope that you will agree with me
that this important matter can be dis
posed of without putting any spokes in
the wheel that we are now trying TO
make go around In the matter of leg
islatIon. Cordially and sincerely
yours, WOODROW WILSON

Cheaper Medicines in Prescrip-

The Department Of Health is consid.

city who substitute cheaper drugs than
those ordered by physicians in their pre-

DR.. Wilmer Krusen, head of the de-

In spec ch at a reception in his honor,

patient failed to respond to ,he drugs

The director also said substitution was
largely the outcome of conditions which
have arisen as n result of the war and
have advanced the cost of drugs.
