Falls Meeting

The meeting of the local Equity
held here last Saturday was not
as we'll attended as it might have
been, but an interesting meeting
was held.
The purpose of the meeting
was to elect one or two delegates
to attend the big Co-operator's
Congress which will be held at
Great Falls next week, and upon
voting upon whether or not to
do so, it was decided to send at
least two delegates. Guy C.
Stephens and Doc. Robson were
elected to 90, and expect to leave
tomorrow for Great Falls.
The main purpose of the local
delegates will be to take up the
railroad proposition at this meet
ng, and see if it could be possible
to secure the assistance Of some

yress. The plan is indeed a good

STOVE EXPLODES
AT EASTBURN'S

The most peculiar and remark
able accident that we believe ha
ever happened in Circle, occurred
at the d. L. Eastburn home ii
South Circle last Monday evening
at about 1890 when the big heat
er in their living room suddenly
exploded.
The Eastburn's were getting
ready to retire, but before going
to bed Mr.. Eastburn had put a
bucket of coal in the heater and
decided to sit up few minutes so
as to give the fire start, before
shutting it up for the night. Mr..
Eastburn sat down in rocker
within three feet of the stove and
Mrs. Eastburn was standing near
by when all of a sudden the stove
"blew up"throwing Mrs. Eastburn
fully ten feet but not even get
ting a scratch, neither did Mr..
Eastburn. The stove blew into
thousands of pieces knocking the
the plaster off in places and even
broke few lath. One of the fly
ing fragmen is lodged in a fir cas-
ing near the door, going nearly
through.
The most peculiar part of the
accident was that no one was hurt
in the least and the fire was
blown out entirely, otherwise the
house would likely have burned
down.
The cause of the accident is a
but thought to have been
caused by an unexploded dyna-
mite cap which had likely failed
to go off at the coal mine, and
perhaps small piece of dynamite
also was lying in the coal next to
the cap.
The explosion caused a terrific
report and was heard plainly at
the C. A. Anderson home, but not
heard at all at the Banner editors
nome which is only half a block
away.
The Eastburn's consequently

otherwise consider themselves

miracle that none got hurt.

Latest Railroad News
Indicate Prospects Hopeful
McAdOO Informs Senator j. Walsh That Consideration
of Extension of Great Northern Railway Depends Upon
Passage of Legislation Now Pending In
Congress-

| w Olu lids dI ldSl UttIl leCtlVSt
from Washington regarding the
railroad proposition, Guy C.Steph
ems of the local railroad committee
receiving a letter from Senator
Walsh last Tuesday.
Senator Walsh took the matter
up with McAdoo, the Director
General, informs him that at pre-
sent nothing could be done but
that as soon as a bill now pending
in Congress has been passed, will
be in a position to consider the
proposition, if requirements make
it necessary.
The bill referred to in Mr..
Walsh's letter and of which he en-
closed a copy is S. Bill No.3385 en-
titled, ITO provide for the opera
ton of transportation systems
while under Federal Control, for
the just compensation of their
owners, and for other purposes. :"
This bill has been read twice and
referred to the Committee on In
terstate Commerce. The part of
this bill in which we are interest
ed and which pertains to exten-
tions reads as follows: "The
President may also, on or in con-
nection with the property Of any
carrier, make or order any carrier
to make any additions and i'm
provements necessary or desirable
for war purposes or in the public
interest. Hemay from said revolv-
ing fund advance to such carrier
all or any part of the expense of
such additions and Improvements
30 ordered and constructed by such |
carrier or by the President, ETC."
This is so far the best piece of
news received yet, and proves that
he sending of a committee before
his bill has been passed, is abso-
utely Useless. But when this bill
becomes a law, Which it likely will
oon, it is up to us to act and
With all the force we can. Pro-
poets for railroad in our mind, af-
er the passage of this bill if we
an only show Hon. McAdoo what
he extension of this line would
1ean, are really hopeful. In the
1eantirne pending the passage of
his bill referred to, let us keep the
ood work of organizing the pro- {
osed territory going, and thus
,hen the time comes be prepared :

a note from John Barton Payne, o
his office, as follows:
Dear Senator Walsh:
"The Director General asks me
to reply to your letter re the ex-
tension of the Great Northern
railway from New Rockford, N.
Oak, to Lewistown Montana.
The matter has not been
brought to his attention, and in

A short time ago the editor of
the Banner wrote personal letter
to Congressman John M. Evans
regarding the railroad proposition,
and last Saturday we received a
very interesting letter from him
Mr.. Evans thinks Hon. McAdoo
is the man to see if we send a
committee to Washington, and that
if he were to say the word, the
road would be extended in very
time. His letter reads:
Il have your letter of the 18th,
instant before me concerning the
he extension of the Great North
ern from Richey to Winnett.
1t is needless to tell you of the
extended operations being under
aiken by the Government at this
ime. Our Nation is overwhelmed
With great obstacles to be sur
1t may be that railroad |
transportation matters will be of |
uch concern to our Nation that

all that made considerable ef-
ort in having this road extended
nd that | had it up with every
Onceivable branch of the Govern
lent that might take a part in

As to the advisability of sending
committee here, | am unable to
ay at this time. If a committee
1ould come, l would suggest that
ou endeavor to interest Hon. G.
IcAdoo and possibly have a hear
lg with him. If he were to say

KAISER NEAR. MANIAC.
Falls into Paroxysm Of Rage at Men
ton Of America. ~

Falls into Paroxysm Of Rage at Mem
tion Of America.
New York. July 13.-The booming of
allied cannon rocking his tottering
throne is making of the emperor OF
Germany a raving maniac. In his own
household they are calling him "the
crazy emperor"
Those things were told by Mrs.
Lewis Johnstone, OF Montreal, Canada,
who said that in London, three weeks
ago, she talked with German who
until two months ago was closely asso-
ciated with the working staff of the
kaiser's palace.
He told me-" she said, that men and
women who had been in the kaiser's
household for years were being cuffed
about like dogs, and were made to eat
crumbs and weeds and dry bread by
the kaiser.
"The name Of America or any Ameri-
can is forbidden within the hearing of
the kaiser he told me, and few weeks
after the United States entered the war,
when close military confidant sug-
gested that the United States seemed
to be preparing to defy Germany's sub
marines and send her troops across th.
ocean,. the speaker was struck in tfe
face with the kaiser's only normal fist
and sent reeling across the floor.
Get out, you cowardly dog he said
