Messers. Larson and Bomboy
recently made a trip to Havre.
Big Sandy and other points in
eastern Montana, where mills
are in operation and gained val
liable information as to modern

properties will be given some
time between now and spring.
The Pioneer Press believes
that this announcement will be
the most welcome one made in
MANY years. both in town and
community. It's great benefit
to this entire section need not
be dwelt upon here. And it
will mean another f orw a r d
bound for Cut Bank, which is to
enter upon a greater expansion
era, beginning with the opening

will give the new enterprise

A flour mill to cost not less
than $4,000 and probably closer
to $4,000 will be built in Cut
Bank as soon as spring opens,
by T. j. Larson and T. B. Bonn
boy. After much deliberation
and investigation Of the success
of the milling industry in towns
of the class of Cut Bank, the
gentlemen above named def
nitely decided that conditions
here justified the investment
and the Pioneer Press was au-
thorized to make announcement
that plans were practically com
pleted. a site selection being the
only detail not settled at this
time.
The mill will have a capacity
of fifty barrels daily and will
be equipped with every modern
mechanical device that will en-
able the management to pro-
duce a grade of flour sthat can
be placed in competition with
the best products of Montana
and out-of-the-state mills. A
competent miller will be secur-
ed; one who can be depended
upon to establish a reputation
for the products of the mill
from the outset.

T. B. Bomboy and Mr.. and
Mrs. Harold Seager got an i'm
pressive idea of what balmy
northern Montana can do when
a lusty Hudson Bay chinook
takes a notion to play pranks
with the weather. They were
coming in from the Seager ranch
Thursday of last week and the
morning was one of those pet
winter mornings that lure peo-
pie out doors. When between
the Edwards and Heiland
ranches they were surrounded
by a swirling storm. Fine snow
filled their eyes and the road
became obliterated. They lost
all sense Of direction and were
becoming numb with the cold
when a faint silhouette loomed
out of the dark mist and they
made straight for it. It proved
to be the A. H. Heiland ranch
house and here they found safe
harbor and warmth until the
blizzard abated. Bomboy pre-
fers to take his chinooks in
smaller doses and from another
direction and may be depended
upon to hug his city hearth for
the next few weeks.
