Supplies to Be Forwarded to Rhine
Through Dutch Limburg.

Brussels, Dec. 23.-Great Britain was
reported today to have informed Hol-
land of its intention to forward sup
plies to the British army on the Rhine
by way of the Scheldt River and
Dutch Limburg.
An alteration between the allies and
Holland arose during the war over the
Dutch granting permission for the
Germans to move supplies into Bel
gium through the province of Linn
burg. Holland assured the allies that
only peace-time materials, such as
gravel, were being transported. Re-
cent dispatches reported that Belgium
plans to bring in troops and materials
from allied countries by way of the
Scheldt River. the mouth of which is
wholly within Dutch territory.

Prominent Citizen Dies After
Brief Illness.

The many friends of James
Washburn were shocked to learn
of his death, which occurred Fri
day morning about one O'Clock
at his home in Gainesboro.
He had been sick only a few
days. having taken with pneu-
monia on Sunday. His.condition
grew rapidly worse from the be-
ginning and resulted in his death
as stated.
Mr.. Washburn was one of our
leading merchants, having sue
c~essfully conducted the business
left by his father eight years ago.
He had made many warm friends
of his customers and they will
miss him badly. He was al
ways progressive and ever ready
to lend a hand in any work that
was calculated to upbuild the
community.
Mr.. Washburn was 80 years
old, and leaves a wife and one
small son, a mother and brother
besides a host of friends and
relatives to mourn his death.
The Sentinel JONES the many
in mourning his death, and we
extend our heartfelt sympathy
to those who are near and dear
to him.
Funeral was held this morning
Saturday with interment in
Gainesboro cemetery two miles
south of town.

The most remarkable tree in
the world, perhaps. is the Bany.

les, on an Island in the Nerbudda
River. is believed TO be the same
one that is mentioned by Alexan-
der the Great. The branches
send down numerous aerial
roots that grow down to the soil
and form props or additional tru-
nks, until.a single tree often COW
ers so large an area that it will
shelter thousands Of men. At
the time of Alexander the Greats
visit, one tree covered so extern
sive an area that it sheltered ten
thousand men. Under the pro-
tecting shade of these trees the
Indian merchants still conduct
their markets. The merchants
are known as ''banians," because
they abstained form meat for
many centuries, but modern Gus

F.. E. YORK of Outlook

For the office of Clerk and Record
er the farmers nominated +. +. YORK
of Outlook. Mr.. York has farm in
the Outlook country on which ne re-
sides with his wife and family. Mr..
York came west as an employee Oh
the 500 railroad and was the agent
at Outlook for many years. Since
the League was started he has been
very active in its organization, work
ing in the field as an organizer for
several months, then becoming office
manager at the State Headquarters
of the Nonpartisan League for the
State of Montana, which he held un-
til this spring when he resigned to
attend to farming operation on his
farm. He is splendidly qualified and
is worthy of the support OF every
farmer.
Rex Movius, the man whom the
farmers endorsed for reelection to
the office of County Treasurer, has
served the county well. He is not a
farmer, nor is he a league member,
but he is a splendid official and no
better man could be found for the
Office than Rex Movius, and the farm
ers approaching the efficient and
economical manner in which he had
administered the Office, gave him u
merited endorsement.
For County Attorney, the farmers
endorses J. J. Gunther, the present
mayor of Plentywood. Mr.. Gunther
has made good mayor and has
cleaned up the town and has done so
; in quiet and orderly manner with
out any grandstand plays to the gal
Ieries. He has splendid reputation
for absolute honesty, and this repu-
tation was what won for him the
endorsement of the farmers at the
: Welliver convention. He is a spIen-
\ did Office lawyer, and lawyer who
| always tries to settle matters out OF
court by getting parties together
For that reason he has never made
a great deal out of the law business
and his name mas not often adorned
the court calendars. In the office Oh
county attorney there is man,
chances to prevent CRAFTS, ETC., ane
with Mr.. Gunther in office things vii
not run in the free and easy manner
that they have in the past. In an
other. column is a more complete
| story of Mr.. Gunther and his quail
| fications. Mr.. Gunther should an,
will be nominated and elected.
IL For County Superintendent o
| Schools the farmers nominated Mabe
IV. Thayer, homesteader of Julian
Montana. In another column is
more detailed account of Miss Thay
er. The people of Sheridan count
have rare candidate in the perso
of Mabel V. Thayer for seldom it
that a person of her accomplish
ments is candidate for County Sur
erintendent of Schools The farmer
heard of Miss Thayer and drafte
her for this important office. The1
are several good candidates, worth
candidates, running, but Miss Tha,
er is by far the choice from a bunt
of good timber. It is mistake f,
anyone to vote against Miss Tha,
er. In this case it is not so niue
case of politics as the welfare
the schools to be considered and 8
are agreed on the proposition tn,
