The scrub thorns rocked. the camels
shifted uneasily upon the lines. And
suddenly she saw soldiers running to-
gether their rifles in their hands.
Her husband sprang from the tent
and took his place at their side. She
saw two guns being drawn up. And
then, with exultant yells that rang
in her ears, she saw the savage army

Instantly was inextricable confusion.

She wanted to cry out, but she was

Suddenly she saw the major quite
close to her. Sword in hand, he was
hacking his way into the heart of
the wild throng about him. He was
isolated from his men. Bodies. cloven
by the blade, rolled this way and that
Spears flashed on every side of him.
Then, with a rush, company of
fresh troops came up. The scene
grew clear. The Moslems, forced
back, suddenly broke and fled, the
guns pouring shell into their ranks.
But, as her husbands men came up to
him she saw an enormous tribesman
dash the sword from his hand and

S. A. Holt, Drugs.

One of the new business hous-
that has been added during the
past two years is that of The Re-
liable Drug Store. S. A. Holt,
proprietor, established himself at
Ekalaka on July 1st, 1915, after
having put in five years proving
to Uncle Sam that he could not
be starved to death on a half Sec
ton of free homestead land that
he acquired on Box Elder. Prior
to coming to Montana Mr.. Holt
was located at Bristow, Nebr.
and also at Gross, Nebr., at both
places having been engaged in
the drug business. Mr.. Holt is
a registered pharmacist, holding
licenses in the states of Montana,
Iowa and Nebraska. In the
spring of this year at the annual
town election Mr.. Holt was Sc
lected as our Mayor, a position
he has filled with satisfaction to
all. He is greatly interested in

ularly this section of the state

Ekalaka Drug Co.

The Ekalaka Drug Co., owned
and managed by June G. Olsen
is one of the pioneer business
houses of Ekalaka, having found
it's origin in the establishment of
the post Office at Ekalaka by the
government. For many years
Jay j.. Wilson, now a resident of
Glacier, WASH, owned the store,
who in May, 1910 sold a half in
terest to Mr.. Olsen. On June l,
1914 Mr.. Olsen became the sole
proprietor and he has been car
rying on the business ever since.
That June has made a success of
his business in Ekalaka is proven
by the fact that when he first
entered the store his financial
statement showed him about
100 round dollars lin the led"
while today he has over $13, 600
invested in his residence and
business property in Ekalaka.
He also owns 800 acres of farm
land north of town. In MAY of
this year, Mr.. Olsen, successfully
passed the State Medical Board
and received his certificate as a
registered pharmacist. He has

Eight Years Of 10000

The Eagle today completes its
eighth year Of public service un-
der private ownership.
We were tempted to say "prl-
vate management" but upon sec-
ond thought, did not say it. AS
a matter Of fact so many people
try to manage the Eagle that it
is really a wonder that it gets
any management at all at times.
In writing the head for this little
birthday effusion, we didn't get
it finished either. 1t was easy
to start off with, Eight Years
OF" but what to say next? Some
might suggest, "hell'' or ''scan-
dial" or fraud" or insanity"
or Knocking" or "hot-air" or
"sensation" or boosting" or
a lot of other things that could
be found in Noah Webster's big
book, but none Of them seems to
just suit US.
In the eight years just spoken
of we have been accused of about
every sin in the social calendar.
And we got it from every direc'
ton. Sometimes the doctor or
lawyer, sometimes the saloon
keeper, other times the church.
goer or the preacher, sometimes
the merchant, many times the
politician, and even sometimes
the old maids and married girls.
Everyone seems to at one time
or other taken a "wham' at the

part Of it all is that they do not
all do it at the same time. It's

In looking back over the past
eight years we have many rea-
sons to feel that Ekalaka has
not been backward in keeping up
with the other towns of the state
and that she has done her share
towards boosting the Treasure
state natural resources. We
tried to list up the many new
business houses and homes that
have been added since the birth
of the Eagle but so many chang
es have taken place that we hest
tate to make and veritid state
ment. The old town has been
steadily growing. and this, with
out any sensational boom. The
new men who have located in
Ekalaka are here because they
believe in the future of the town
and because they know the posi-
bilities and opportunities that are
here. yhe following is a list of
those who followed our trail to

When we started in business
we did not do 50 to run anybody
out of business or to discredit any
person who had a legal or moral
right to credit, or to advertise
any particular business house
without getting paid for it. We
just wanted to make a living like
regular people, an idea that at
first did not soak into ev%erybodys
head. No political party started
US in business either. But run

of the town., and have helped it

several other matters that We're
for the betterment Of the town
