Dan Gillis was well known in this vicinity. He prospected in a pup lead. ing into Fox the winter prior to his death. He also was employed by the Alaska Road commission working with foreman John Joslin. He work ed at one time on the Borden ranch
 An old time acquaintance of his last night stated that Gillis had told him on one occasion that he came from Labrador and that his people still resided there. He Is said to have sent numerous sums of money at various times to a firm by the name of Boyle Bros., at some point in Labrador.

Fired by hertzian Waves.

While the plan of using electric
waves at will to blow up powder
magazine or cause other destruction
is an idle dream, G. A. LeROy has sat.
isfied himself that fires have been set
by HertZian waves, and he has
brought to the notice of the French
academy an instrument for testing the
effects of these invisible radiations.
A bale of compressed cotton is an ex-
ample of material coming within
common experience that may be fired
accidentally. The steel band hold
ing such bale may be broken with
the ends left separate but near
enough together for an electric spark
to pass between them, or a short spark
might pass from band on one bale to
that on another bale piled close. The
cotton might be ignited by such
sparks.

NEW TELEPHONE LINE

Information comes from Miles
City that the telephone poles for
the proposed line from Miles to
Broadus have been purchased
and that work on the new sys-
tenn will begin shortly. Consider
able stock has already been pur-
chased in the new venture at the
Miles City end of the line and it
is expected that people in this
part of the country will subscribe
for the remainder OF the stock,
which we understand amounts TO
about $4,000. Broadus needs a
telephone to the outside world
more than anything else and we
believe our citizens realize the
fact more as weather conditions
become worse and travel out of
the question. Commercially the
telephone in this part of the coun-
try would save the people thous
ands Of dollars each year. As it
is the town is at the mercy of
holdups and the range country
from rustlers, with no line of
communication to nearby towns.
H. K. Straiton has charge Of the
stock sales in the new line for
Broadus and surrounding terri
tory and would be glad TO talk it
over with all who are interested.

There's a little town named
Rroadus,
1t is Just across the way.
Where the county seat was seated
And there it's bound to stay.
Where the people all are busy.
A workin' night and day
But the doctor isn't busy
He can always get away.
The barber is a fine young man,
And off his feed all day.
He always talks you most to death
Then whites off your hay,
Shorty" has a big garage
Which the natives say
Will turn out Fords like hot cakes
Ii YOU wait all day.
Montgomery and Taylor
Are always standing round,
Never waiting on the farmer
When he does hit town.
Mccoy runs a hotel
The meals are always fine,
And when you stop in Broadus
That is the place to dine.
The prices they are reasonable,
And you are treated well;
He also has butcher shop
That smells like h /.
And up stairs you'll find 'Scotty'
With a f1at-iron in his hand,
He burns your panties while you
wait
He'll reach the promised land.
So don't pass up old Broadus---
Altho its new today
When you get to know the nat
ives all
You'll never break away.

THE PHILIPPINE FLAG

The Philippine flag is again
floating in the breeze. And the
Filipino people rejoice. because
they again see before them the
emblem of their nationality. 1t
stands for their liberty gained at
the point of the bayonet. 1t stands
for the blood and ashes of their
martyred men. It is rich in his
toric associations. Since the year
1907 it has been lese majesty by
law to display anything which
may suggest the flag, be it en-
bodied in linen, silk or button. A
bill has twice or thrice been pre-
sented for the repeal of the law.
But out OF unalloyed respect to
this republic, it has been invar-
iably killed. Under the new era,
however, of mutual friendship
and good will, and in view of the
unmistakable promise of indepen-
denCe, there no longer is room for
the suspicion that the flag is be
ing hoisted in defiance of Amer
iCas authority. Besides, it is pro-
vided that the flag, when display
ed, should always be at the left
of or under the American banner.
The colors OF the Philippine
flag are red, white, blue and gold.
1t consists OF two stripes. one red
and the other blue, the blue being
on top. At the end near the staff
there is d triangular space which
is white in color, at the center of
which is a sun having eight rays.
AT each corner of the triangle
there is a star. Both the sun and
the stars are in gold. The triangle
stands for brotherhood: the sun
symbolizes the Orient: the eight
rays indicate the eight provinces
originally declared in d state of
rebellion against Spain: and the
three stars represent the Island OF
LuZon, the Nisayan Islands. and
the Island of Mindanao, respect.
ly. The flag, therefore, is the EN-
bodiment of the nationalism OF
the entire archipelago, not the
nationalism of d single group OF
islands. 1t represents the faith
alive and undimmed, of an entire
race. Around this same t1as
Filipinos had rallied in their rev
olution against Spain. Beneath
it Filipinos had fought aeains
Americans. 1t was sanCtitied a:

Republic that was proclaimed il

Round The World
In An AirShib
By Roger Keys

Britain's traditional rule Of the
waves apparently Is TO be supple
mented by supremacy in the air. for
commercial as well as military pur-
poses. \ London company. literally
capitalized and backed BY concerns
OF world wide reputation. announces
an airline system of giant dirigibles
with a regular schedule which il is
hoped 10 put into effect in the near
future. Here are some OF the ar
rangements: London 10 New York,
two and a half days; London 70 San
Francisco. four and a half days; 10
Cairo. a day and a half: to Austria
liza. seven days. TO Cape Town,
Africa, five and a half days. The
proposed fares are s243 TO New
York, 1876 TO Cape Town. and 1895
10 Australia. These seem extremely
moderate, even If the ships at pres
ent are not TO provide such luXuries
as palm gardens. gymnasiums,
swimming pools and >the other
exotic arrangements now found on
the finest ocean liners. The concern
which announces this ambitious pro-
gram has been maintaining a regu-
lar service between London and
Paris for some time and recently
extended its schedule to Holland.
After figuring the costs and prob
able receipts of the British enter
prise. American competitors may be
content for a while with less ambiti-
Gus Undertakings. The cost of one OF
these huge dirigibles is placed al
nearly 100000 600. Only by keep
ing il constantly in commission
could the interest on this vast sum
be met. TO say nothing OF the divi-
dends for eXpectant stockholders
Then there is the question Of dam
ages and losses. It would be neces-
sary for the firm to carry its own
insurance by means OF a sinking
fund. This type Of aircraft has been
improved in recent years, but IT is
by no means immune to the acct
dents which put so many zeppelins
out of business in the days imme-
diately preceding the war. The pros
pect of air trips to the end Of the
Fearth is fascinating to passengers
but the financial rewards for in
vestors are less alluring.
