ICEBERG. WORST SEA DANGER.

There are few matters about which
about the ice masses with which the
North Atlantic, in the region of the
Grand Banks, is bestrewn every spring
and summer, writes P. r. McGrath, in
the American Review of Reviews, for
September, in an interesting article en-
titled, THE International Ice Patrol
The general impression is that this is
ice which is formed along the coast of
Newfoundland and Labrador and is
released every spring, but in truth, the
origin of the icebergs and icefloes is
entirely different. Icebergs are huge
masses of glaciers formed in the vast
Arctic continent of Greenland.
The glaciers slowly but irresistibly
press seward thru the Greenland val
leys into the ocean, where. when the
weight of the outer portion once it is
unsupported by the land, becomes too
great, it breaks off from the parent
mass, process called "calving" The
calving portion becomes an iceberg,
and sometimes these are of enormous
size-many miles in extent indeed, and
often so vast that they ground on the
shoals in the region, until, by the play
of the winds, the seas, the currents.
and the sun, they become top heavy
and tumble over again to break apart
into smaller fragments which are fer
ried southwark on the bosom of the
Polar current and which ultimately
reach the avenues of ocean travel.
These floes can only make thei es-

I'm acquainted with lady fair,

She never has a thing to wear
Does that sound strange to you?
But. still, without a thing to wear"
She goes out in the storm
And, strange to say, this lady fair,
Somehow keeps nice and warm
1t seems without q thing to wear
Shed be afraid some day
Somebody would a warrant swear
Because she went that way.

productive section of the county was
rather new at that time and Mr..
Rainey has taken a decidedly active
part In It's rapid development, al
ways being free with his funds and
other assistance looking to this end.
He is one of the largest diversified
farmers in the county, devoting his
attention to scientific agriculture and
stockraisins. In this he has been
more than ordinarily successful. He
was member of the legislature two
years ago and has the experience of
one term in the case of his reelection
this fall. Owing to the delicate health
of his estimable wife he is unable to
make an active campaign and would
highly appreciate anything his friends
and the members of the democratic
party can do in his behalf.

Musselshell county. His name was
included in the provisions of the bill
creating the new county, which bill
received the official approval of Gov
ernor Norris, one of the most able
democratic governors that the state
of Montana ever had. Mr.. O'Neil is
one of those young lawyers who show
advancement in a marked degree
from year to year. He has served as
city attorney of Glendive and enjoys
a lucrative practice, which would not
be possible in a city as large as Glen
dive with many other prominent law
yers were it not for his legal ability.
The law does not provide for the en-
ployment of a deputy county attorney
in a county of the fifth class, and II
elected, Mr.. O'Neil promises to do
the work himself. In a few years Mr..
O'Neil will be classed among the most
able attorneys Of the eastern part of
the state II he maintains his present
strides of advancement. He was the
candidate for county attorney on the
democratic ticket two years ago, but
was defeated by Stanley e. Felt by a
small majority. He has family and

o. J. THOMPSON

Candidate for State Representative
Mr.. Thompson is a young lawyer
and homesteader located at Circle, to
which growing community he came
several years ago. Since the advent
of the thriving town of Circle, he has
been engaged in the practice of his
profession at that point. He is a de-
cidedly popular young man and
stands we'll with his professional as
sociates, as we'll as with his everyday
fellow-citizens. He is thoroughly ia
miliar with the needs of new coun-
try and will prove a valuable mem
Der of the lower house Of the legisla-
ture. His election is practically con-
ceded by both republicans and demo-
Gratis. The interests of the various
farming communities in the county
are quite symmetrical in many re-
spects as regards possible proposed
because of the new and
developing conditions of the country,
and The Gazette does not believe that
anyone will regret having voted for
Mr.. Thompson in the event that he is
elected.

Helena, Mont, Oct. 9.-That Con-
gresham John NJ Evans is highly
appreciated by his associates on the
public lands committee of the house
of representatives is shown by let
ter which was received yesterday by
Chairman Wells, of the democratic
state central committee. Scott Fer
lis, chairman of the public lands COM
mittee, gives the following indorse-
ment to Congressman Evans in re-
commencing to the voters of Montana
his claims for reelection this fall:
ST hope you will pardon me for
calling to your attention the most
efficient service rendered by your
very excellent, capable and trust
worthy congressman, Honorable John
NJ Evans.
"Since Mr.. Evans service in con-
gress began, have had an opportu-
nifty to observe his value and true
worth to the people of Montana, both
before the public lands committee and
the committee on Indian affairs.
"In dealing with western problems,
he has been so true, so loyal, to the
citizens of his state and to the west,
that know of no state which enjoys
a better representation. He has been
of untold assistance in the passage
of the 640-acre homestead bill, and

throughout the county that the demo-
cratic voters in the different precincts
gave her complimentary nomina-
ton. Her career in Dawson county
has been one of industriousness and
usefulness. For seven years Miss
Reed was successful teacher in the
rural and city schools of the county
and for two years she held the posi-
ton of deputy county superintendent
of schools. Being homesteader and
taxpayer of the county, and having
had teaching experience in the coun-
try schools, she is in a position to
fully understand the needs of the
school of the county and keenly ap-
preciates the many obstacles and
connected with establishing
and maintaining country schools in
a rapidly developing section like Daw-
son county. She was the candidate
for the same position on the demo-
cratic ticket two years ago and dur
ing that campaign made great many
friends among the people, who will
remember her on election day. For
the information of those who do not
enjoy this young lady's acquaintance,
it may be stated that she is an edu-
Gator of exceptional ability and if
elected those who cast their votes in
her favor will never regret having
done so.

life. He has established that charac-
ter in business and social life during
a quarter of century of walking q
straight path before his fellow citi-
zens. During all that time Mr..
Mitchell has been member of organ
lied labor, holding an active card in
the Great Falls Typographical Union,
but he has been opposed to, exploiting
that fact as giving him any claim on
labor votes. He has had no sympathy
with the class of politicians who seek
to turn their connection with organ
lied labor to their personal profit, and
our statement in this respect is made
without his knowledge, and possibly
without his approval We make It,
however, as side light on his char
acter and temperament On personal

ART WALSH

Candidate for County Assessor.
The work of overseeing the assess
ment of the property of Dawson coun-
ty is duty that requires much con-
sideration and genuine ability in more
ways than one. Both the interests of
the county and the interests of the
property owners must be equitably
supervised by the man to whom the
work is entrusted. Mr.. Walsh is just
a plain young man engaged in farm
ing near Stipek, where he filed upon

industriousness and thrifty habits.
If elected to the office of assessor, he

HON. @. C. HURLEY,
Candidate for District Judge.


Mr.. Hurley came to Dawson county
about Is years ago and engaged in
the practice of his profession in Glen
dive He soon gained reputation
for himself as an attorney of unusual
ability and was twice called upon by
the people of the county to occupy the
Office of county attorney. The man
ner in which the affairs of the office
were conducted were so satisfactory
that the people Of the old judicial dis
trict-Old Dawson and Custer coun-
ties-cast majority of their votes
in his favor for judge of the district.
Since his election there has been a
considerable change in the territory
of the district and he now presides in
an official capacity in the district
composed of Dawson, Richland and
Wibaux counties. In this position he
is a favorite with the attorneys and
the people generally. He is demo-
cratic in broad sense, kind, consid-
crate and absolutely fair in all judi
cial business. His popularity Is so
great that he was not opposed for
nomination on his own ticket at the
primaries, and the republicans did
not have a candidate for the nomina-
ton Of their party, but at the primary
election the name of General H j.
Haskell was written in the republic
can ballots and the general has con-
scented to make the campaign at the
earnest request of his many friends.
Judge Hurley is serving his first term
on the bench and the members of his
party feel that he is entitled to re-
election because of the excellent rec
ord he has made. Mr.. Hurley has
family and has been lifelong DEM
0crat.

Candidate for County Commissioner.
Before the primary election, the
republicans of Dawson county were
doing considerable wrangling over
the nomination of their candidate for
county commissioner, with the result
that six candidates-four from the
west end, one from the vicinity of
Glendive and one from the central
part of the county sought the nomina-
ton on that ticket. While this tur-
moil was going on there was only one
democrat who sought the nomination
on that ticket. This was w. H. Nc

w. BYRLE CHAPPELL,
Candidate for County Clerk and Re-

cOrder.
This is one of the most important
offices in the county and practically
all of Mr. Chappell's more matured
life has been spent working over
books and accounts. Mr.. Chappell
first saw the light of day about a
year before his parents came to old
Dawson county and took up their res
idence at Mingusville, now Wibaux.
He is naturally Dawson county boy
and a true Montanan. For several
years he was employed in bank, and
two years and half ago was appoint
ed county treasurer to fill the unex-
pired term of Mr.. Bennett, who re-
signed. He was reelected to this i'm
portant Office a few months after his
appointment, and under the state law
is not qualified to seek this Office
again, although in reality having
served but one term-with a very
short time under the appointment. He
is we'll liked young man and has
family The Office OF county clerk
and recorder is one IN which there is
probably more work done than in
any other Office In the county. Mr..
long experience in work of
this class especially qualities him for
the position and it is generally con-
coded that he will secure a tremen-
dous majority in Glendive and the
country at the coming
election. The popularity attained
when he was a candidate for county
treasurer will prove valuable asset
20 his success throughout the county. |
