Terrific Blizzard Hit
Montana Last Monday

The spring like weather of last
week came to sudden halt, in fact
caught terrible cold last Sunday
and on Monday this section was Wis
tied by one of the worst blizzards
that has ever been experienced in
eastern Montana for fully twenty
years.
The sudden change occurred last
Sunday afternoon when it started to
snow and by Monday morning rag
ing blizzard was in progress, the wind
increasing rapidly and by ten o'clock
it was such binding storm that one
could not see the buildings across the
street. Several people lost their way
in town in trying to reach home and
fortunately got to neighbor's resi-
dence.
1t is thought that fully two feet Of
snow fell and this piled up in huge
drifts from three to ten feet in depth.
Most all coulees and cutbanks were
drifted full, and travelling the past
week has been very difficult.
The storm came up most unexpec-
ted and the result was considerable
loss OF stock, many farmers losing
from two to ten and fifteen head.
Among the heaviest losers are w. ].
King of Spring creek who is said to
have lost IA head; Olson brothers of
Union Is or 90 head, and the Denni-
sons near Lindsay suffered loss of
65 head. The exact loss is not
known as many parts have not been
heard from.
The storm lasted all day Monday
and most Of the night, but the past
few days we have had fairly nice
weather and it is commencing to
thaw. Oldtimers declare that not for
fully twenty years have they seen a
storm of its equal.
The storm seems to have been quite
general over the state. and covered
practically all OF North Dakota. The
train service was crippled for sever
al days on the main lines.

Yellowstone On Rampage
Glendive Bridge May Go

| The warm weather of last week
started the Yellowstone river to 30
on a rampage and several reports
have reached here to the effect that
1t was feared that the wagon bridge
at Glendive would go out. The river
is said to be the highest ever known.
Last Saturday the high grade on the
| north side of the bridge was washed
out and today (Friday) the river had
started new channel and washed
out part uf the N. P. tracks en- the
Sidney Dianch near the Occ:dent ele-
vator thei eby making it impossible
to reach Glendive by any other means
than boat and that too is an i'm
possibility.
The water on Thursday was said
to be SO high that it came very near
reaching the planking on tile big
bridge, and that means 1t came very
near going over the bank and flood
ing the town.
The ice has started to break UP and
this Saturday morning an ice gorge
a mile and half wide is reported above
Glendive. If this goes down the main
channel of the river there can be lit
tie hope of saving the bridge, aad
should it go will mean loss Of sew
eral hundred thousand dollars.
No reports have been received from
the north as to how the old Missouri
is behaving, but it too very likely is
making things interesting.

Since there is to be no county
agent, it has been decided that the
Boys and Girls Club work of Nc
Cone County will be handled thru this
Office with the help of the parents
and teachers. Letters were sent out
this week to the teachers and to the
boys and girls, asking them to talk
the matter over and decide in which
clubs they were most interested. In
spite Of discouraging conditions in
the past, the children's clubs have
added thousands of dollars annually
to the resources of this state. In ad-
dition to offering the boys and girls
a chance to become economic factors
while still in school, joining a club
brings many other advantages to the
boys and girls; it provides definite
instruction in agriculture and home
economics. it develops thrift, indus
try, self reliance, responsibility, BUSH
ness management and initiative; it
brings the child's work in competition
with others of his own age and gives
him standard by which to judge his
work, and creates an interest in the
farm which too many of our boys and
girls are losing. If the boys and
girls clubs are to be a success, the
parents, teachers, and in fact everyone
must back the work

were compelled to get out the list of

TO TEACH OR NOT TO TEACH.

This is the question that is now
confronting thousands of teachers
and one that has been decided mega.
lively by many. So many, In fact
that it is really difficult for a princi.
pal or superintendent to secure a
teacher, even poorly qualified, at su.
perior salary.
The time to consider this matter
fairly and squarely is now; not next
fall when all good teachers have made
contracts and only few Ieft-overs
are available. A poor teacher is a
poor investment at any price, ard SUI
perintendents and school boards are
now learning this lesson as never be-
fore.
The reason for the shortage of tea
chers is obvious: If we consider the
following points we must agree that
the teacher who has turned to other
vocations has simply shown good
business Judgment. First, the tea
cher's work with pupils and parents
is often discouraging and unsa tisfac-
tory in immediate results. In the sec
ond place, school work is often under
a superintendent who is unapprecia-
tive, and for an Indifferent school
board. In the next place a teachers
services are in demand for only
three-fourths of the year, which
means three months period without
salary. Last and most important of
all, the salary attached to such work
is not thrift wage, and in many cas-
es not even a living wage.
Certainly conditions must be
changed and the man of business, ia
ther. n. tier, as we'll as ihs members
OF the School Board, E.ujt make an
active effort. Let every reader do
something toward making teachers
work more attractive and his salary
more inviting. Only by such concert
ed action can we hope to secure
competent, capable teachers for. our
Mntana boys and girls. duty in this
direction rests on each and every citi-
zen OF Montana.

THINKS IT'S FOR. THE BEST
THAT WE CAN'T SELL BONDS

j ication was received last week for
publication, but had to be laid over
on account of reaching us too late
for last weeks issue.
Editor:
just got the Banner containing
the news of the Bonding Company re-
fusing to buy the bonds of our and
other counties.
! take chance at being condemned
for the stand l take, but to my judg-
ment thing we are all better of if
the county does not bond for the pur-
pose OF furnishing seed to needy far
Imers--provided that small grain seed
lis what would be thus furnished. 1
I have just had talk with Agricultur-
list Mendenhall about this thing and
although he is accused of being too
much the friend of the farmers, he
does not believe in these bond issues
to furnish small grain seed in Daw-
son county or, for that matter, any
where where conditions are the
same, for the reason that sit is not
help that will help" l understand
the county may use 100000 for
seed, bond or. no bond, and if this
amount is used for seeds that are apt
to make a crop, it will help some.
Anyone putting small grain into
ground that is peppered with weed
seeds is worse than taking an even
chance and certainly should not be
encouraged. We got to get off our
high horse; quit the idea of getting
rich quick or we shall certainly go
the way of so many new settlers in
other places. 1t should be clear to
us by this time that under conditions
even worse than those of North Da-
kota, Minnesota, Nebraska, etc. that |
we got to profit by their experience |
or suffer their disasters. No one |
can successfully raise small grain on
weedy fields with scant rainfall. |
The year of 1912 might have done it |
but in my 81 years in the state, 1912 |
Is the only year of that kind.
For the man that intends to make
permanent home here there is only
one reasonably safe way and that is
to cut down the acreage to what one /
plan wheat has no place at all unless
such curious thing as clean field
Is found somewhere.
This spring horses are poor, feed
s high and few are SO situated they
ian take losing chance except the
he fellow who is ready to throw up
lis hands. He may take that free"
iced and take that chance. The rest
# us better plow what we can and put
t into corn or other intertilled crops.
We ara also fairly safe to put in a /
ew acres of millet if moisture is
plentiful in June. The rest of our
ime can be used to good advantage
ummerfallowing. Under this plan
will be only year till we again
an begin to. crawl ahead on raising
rops and for keeping cows and
ther stock, we should be in good
ven this year.
I don't think there is any reason
he bonding concerns refuse our bonds
My that they know our system of
arming has broken d3s-h.
This is not the popular conception of :
costing but / am willing to let time :
rove the correctness of my views.
Mr.. Mendenhall has promised an article
n the subject but his will be too late for
ais weeks issue.
Yours truly,
Peter Rorvik.

InstaI|s Fine Safe

The Farmers State Bank. Jas.
per. has recently installed a mag
nificent safe, a tribute to the
craft of the safe maker, which is
so finely adjusted that a hair
from your head caught in the
jamb would not permit the door
to close, Three watches of finest
make govern the second when the
door shall unlock. Eighteen in
ches of finest steel, uncutable by
torch, guard the hollow within
the steel monster where the
treasure is kept, and there is
room enough for all the money in
the banks of the valley. The
manufacturers claim this safe
can be placed on the public street
and all the crooks in creation in
vited to try to make it say,
Open. Sesame, and that it
would positively refuse to open.
1t is a ponderous affair. weighing
80, 900 pounds and while on roll
lers is a proposition to move.

ing duties, and there is a gay old
time ahead.
Monday was mostly prelimin-
ary work, securing juries, grand
and traverse. and the charge of
the judge to the grand jury,
though several cases were dis
posed of in the afternoon.
The personel of tie grand jury
is as follows:
R, W. McReynolds, foreman;

ransacking is being made, judg
ing from the subpoenas that are
beng sent out. officers working
briskly Monday night to start a
procession grand Jurywards. "
The county has been very
quiet since the election, but still
there are many matters of mo.
ment to Investigate and law
abiding people wish Judge Rauls-
ton and his court success in clear
ing up things.
