THOUSANDS EAGER
TO SEE BIG GAME

before the game time the bleach
ers were packed. full.
The sun was shining brightly
early today upon Comiskey park
the field where these representa-
tive leaders of American sport
met in the first clash for the
highest baseball honors.
After 4S hours of rain, perfe ct
weather was assured for the open
ing of the big series.
One of the greatest crowds that
ever gathered for a worlds series
packed itself into Chicago before
midnight.
Little Betting.
Despite the crowd attracted by
the games, and in spite of the In
terest aroused by this first clash
between the nations two greatest
cities, betting was practically alb
sent.
The teams. the feeling is, are
too evenly matched to allow any
great speculation.

COUNTY'S
ORDER IS
NO. GOOD

The alleged failure of County
Commissioner O'Farrell to adhere
to the state law in his expenditure
of funds on road district No. 4 be-
gan to kick back at his own
peck textbook Saturday.
Ed Thrift, workman, arrived in
Tacoma from Granam, where he
has been working on one of the
county roads. without a cent in his
pocket, wondering why an order
for $46.75 given him by Road Su-
pervisor Henry J. Ball had been
turned back as mo good"
Bank Refuses Cash.
The order had been sent to a
Tacoma bank, which refused to
pay 1t on the ground that there
were no county funds to pay it
and that payment of warrants
had been held up by the prose-
cutting attorney.
AS a matter of fact it was not
the prosecuting attorneys office
that held up the warrants, but the
county auditors office.
When 1t developed that the
county was temporarily busted"
and that the expenses in road dis
tricts 3 and A already had gone
beyond the limit fixed by law
80 per cent of the total yearly
estimate-the auditor shut down
on issuing any more warrants.
Apparently it's up to Commits
sioner O'Farrell to make 1t good
to Ed Thrift Saturday. Either
that or let him go without his pay.
In the meantime Thrift is broke
and needs the money.
More Trouble Coming.
OFarrell is liable under his
bond as a county official.
But that's not all. The audi
tors office reported Saturday that
payment on several road district
payrolls and a number of back
bills are being held up.
And 1t is reported that by next
week an avalanche of workiuen
will be tumbling down on Oar
rell, wondering why they aren't
getting their pay.
Thrift reported Saturday that a
large number OF workmen are still
being employed on the county
road at Buckley under Road SUI
perv.sor Bah.
How O'Farrell expects to pay
them off he doesn't know.

GLASGOW to Join in Movement of
Planting Gardens on Vacant Lots

Potter was greatly pleased when in
formed that Glasgow had mapped out
garden club contest in connection
with its city beautiful campaign.
President Sherman of the club also
stated that he had secured the use of
80 acres close to the city which could
be used for garden purposes by those
who were unable to secure available
space in town. Valuable suggestions
on how to get the work started and
stimulating interest were also given
by Mr.. Potter.
During his stay in the city Mr.. Pot
ter visited the schools and organized
the boys and girls for the contests.
The youngsters are entering into the
work with vim and with the promise
of some fine prizes some record
breaking yields may be expected from
their efforts.
Prof. ]. H. Hoist of the college at
Bozeman also made short address.
Mr.. Hoist had made an inspection of
the city schools, including the high
school, and he stated that Glasgow
had an institution in the latter that
it might well be proud of. 1t was an
ideal secondary institution, according
to his belief.

"Plant Garden" is now one of the
foremost slogans of the Chamber of
Commerce and Agriculture. The plan
to have all vacant lots and all avail
able uncultivated land put into crop
this season is to be pushed to the
limit by the local organization, and
every citizen is urged to cooperate,
not only to show national pride and
patriotism in this wartime crisis, but
to reduce the cost of living for them
selves and their families.
At a meeting in the Chamber of
Commerce and Agriculture rooms on
Monday night, C. E. Porter of the ex-
tension department of the state col
lege made a short talk on the SUBJ
ject of city gardens and boys and
girls contests. He urged the Cham
ber of Commerce to get behind a
movement to utilize all the vacant
lots and waste space for gardens this
summer, in view of the fact that the
food supply of the country may fall
below normal this year.
Practically every city in the state
is taking up the movement to have a
garden contest this summer, and Mr..

Reports that band of armed men

the sheepmen south of the Missouri
river in Dawson county, were brought
to the city this morning by one of the
Lurea brothers, who run about three
thousand head of sheep in that vici-

Nashua, there being about 1900 in
each bunch, one of them being all
ewes.

FAST MAIL TRAIN
BUMPS INTO FREIGHT

The fast west bound mail train, No.
q, crashed into moving freight train
last Thursday night at Bainville, de-
railing the engine on 27 and smash
ing up several freight cars and scat
ing machinery, wire and nails for
some distance along the track.
That no one was seriously hurt is
little short of miraculous, as the mail
train is said to have been moving at
a good rate of speed when the crash
came. Both the fireman and engineer
saw the freight ahead and jumped
just before they collided, and only for
the fact that none Of the coaches left
the track, they would probably have
been killed. The fireman escaped with
minor injuries about the face and
body, while the engineer came out of
it without a scratch.
Traffic was tied up for about IL
hours, while a wrecking crew from
Williston cleared the track.

SHRINE CONCLAVE
CALLED Off BY war
Festivities at Minneapolis Have
Been Cancelled-Specials
Will Not Be Run

The plans of Montana Shriners to
take Minneapolis by torn at the time
of the annual session thcre of the
imperial council of the order have
been knocked in the head. At the
express wish of Imperial Potentate
Henry F. Niedringhaus, Jr., of St.
Louis, all festivities that had been
arranged in connection with the
Shrine convention in June have been
cancelled.
The convention expenses would have
been in excess of 100000. It is the
plan, so far as possible, to have this
money devoted to the American Red
Cross, or other relief purposes. This
matter is subject to the approval Of
the Individual temples.
A business session with about 500
executive representatives from all
parts of the United States, Canada
and Mexico, will gather in Minneapolis
on the set date. This session will
chose a successor to the imperial po-
tentate and conduct other necessary
business.
The executive committee declared
that the cancellation of the plans will
be bitter disappointment to 10000
mobiles in North America, who ex-
pected to attend.
The Montana Shriners had already
arranged for two special trains over
the Great Northern and two over the
Northern Pacific. All will be can
