200 Barrel Flour Mill
To Be Erected At G|endive


The best news of the week tC
people of Glendive and vicinity is
that flour mill and elevator are
to be built here at cost of about
$4,000. Nearly all the money
needed has been subscribed.
One week ago Warren Arming-
ton, of Denver, Colo, came into
this city with the intention of in
teresting local capital in the mil
and elevator. At first he found it
difficult to get the business men
to pledge money. However, after
it had been carefully talked over
the local men decided the propo-
sition was a good one and decided
to get into it.
w. w. Clark, of Billings, will be
one of the largest stock owners
and will likely manage the con-
cern. There are number of local
men vino know Mr.. Clark person
ally and they are all pleased that
he will be interested in the COM
pany. He was the manager of
the Billings Land and Irrigation
Project which was one of the
greatest beneficial works ever un-
dertaken in the Midland empire.
He also promoted a similar ven-
ture successfully at Columbus and
was one of the leading bankers at
that latter place.
The proposition was put up to
the local business men to raise
$4,000 as Messers. Clark and
Arlington were willing to put in
a like sum. Already over $1,000
of the necessary amount has been
pledged and the work of forming
the company and other details are
being carried out.
The flour mill will have a cap
acity of 200 barrels. This will
mean a considerable saving to
'esidents in and surrounding the
,ity. 1t has been necessary before
or farmers TO haul the grain to
his city, ship it away, have the
lour made, and then have it ship
'ed back to this city and ha led
lome again. All this expense and
ime will soon be done away with.
The elevator and flour mill will
e built on the Morris property at
he Yellowstone river bridge. A
eed for the property is said to
ave been completed. The eleya-
DR. will be one of the largest in
,astern Montana and will have
apacity of $4,000 btlshels.-Mon-

Roy Leet Home
Destroyed By Fire

Last Monday afternoon while
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Leet from over
on Antelope creek were in town
shopping and calling on friends,
they did not know that just then
there home and everything in it
was going up in smoke" But
this was the sad news that they
discovered upon their return home
from town in the evening.
They had come to town in the
morning, leaving their two small
sons 6-8 years old at home as they
had often done, and we under
stand that during the afternoon
the lads discovered smoke coming
up from the cellar and becoming
frightened ran to Sheeley's, a dis
tance of over 2 miles and gave
the alarm. Shelley got on a horse
and rode to the place as fast as
too tie. Nothing
could be done as the house was all
flames. Other neighbors seeing
the smoke rushed to the place, but
were helpless to do a thing.
Judging by the story told by
the boys, the lads had lit a lamp
and gone down in the cellar to
hunt for some funny papers and
ater discovered smoke coming up
rom the cellar, evidently fire hav-
ng caught in some way while
lown there.
This is indeed a severe blow to
he Leet's who have had consider
lble hard luck of late.
The Banner joins in extending
he heartfelt sympathy of the ep-
ire community.

Circle Shop Destroyed
By Fire Tuesday Morning
NO INSURANCE 80 WILL REBUILD AT ONCE

Early Tuesday morning fire
broke out in the Circle Shop al
this place, which is owned by
Messrs. Johnson & Reynolds, and
completely destroyed same.
The fire was discovered at about
2 A. NJ, by C. H. Blaine who sleeps
in the office at the Headquarters
Feed Barn, who was wakened by
hearing something falling on the
roof of the building. He jumped
out of bed and looking out discov-
cred the Circle Shop building near
by on fire. The fire at that time
had already gotten such a start
that he could do nothing to it alone,
so he ran down town and sum-
moned help, but this was a hard
job at that time of the night. Fin
ally Rueben Lumsden rung the
school bell and that brought a
good many out, but too late to
save the shop.
Fortunately there was hardly
any wind and by using consider
able water the Headquarters Barn
was saved. The Ormo residence
had a close call catching fire on
the roof, but it was put out be-
fore any damage was done.
In less than 2 hours the Circle
Shop was a mess of ruins. The
sadest of all is that no insurance
was carried by the gentlemen and
the total loss is estimated at about
$1,000. Edw. Storm also had sew
eral hundred dollars worth of pro-
perty in the shop which was de-
stroyed.
The cause of the fire is a mys-
terry. When discovered it ap-
peared as though the fire had
started on the east wall at about
the center of the building.
The gentlemen are again doing
business temporarily in the old
Douglas garage building, but will
rebuild at once. The new shop
which will be 28x80 will be con-
siderable bigger than the old one
which was 40x50.

London, Nov. T.-The Russian rev.

respondent of the Morning Post. He
adds:
But beyond or behind all this ap-

that made Russia an empire are not
idle and those who know Russian his
tory understand perfectly well how
matters will end.
Gwen as write the situation is

but the constituent assembly will not
meet the success of the bolshevik
movement, whatever that movement
really covers, as 1t already has
damned the constituent assembly.
Meantime I would call attention to
