Mayor Says NeV
Firenaen Are Too
BrdUe For Sdfety

Il am very much pleased with the
work of the fire department in hand
ling the fire at Madison avenue and
Second street." Mayor Paine said
Tuesday. They may have made
minor mistakes, but on the whole it
was a most excellent piece of fire
fighting.
THE fire was a bad one to handle
and the seat of the fire was extreme
ly hard to get to, but those boys went
in to it like veterans and have more
that justified the fondest hopes of
the city commission and we feel sure
that the experience will prove
of much benefit to the firemep,
as well as affording a splendid dem
onstration of the ability of the ma
terial which Commissioner Edgar has
gathered together in his reorganized
department.
"All Of the men who answered the
alarm displayed beyond any reasona-
BILE doubt that they are ready and
willing to go into any place where
their services are needed in fact,
they perhaps have too much courage
and rush into danger where it is un-
necessary.
Both Commissioner Edgar and
myself are highly, pleased with the
showing made Tuesday"

roes of In the Name of Friendship,
and characters of still earlier stage,
1 the Indian, the border policeman, the
| founders of future town, people his
pages, drawn with a sympathy, hui
NOR, and sometimes pathos that make
them very much alive. Mr.. Under
man, as an old settler and lover of
Montana, has known them all. !"
The book, which is now on sale at
Helena bookstores, we'll repays read
ing. To the newcomer it presents the
life of earlier times; to the old Mon
tanan it revives memories of other
days and other scenes familiar to him
yet gradually dying from existence
and memory. 1t performs distinct
service to local history and to the lit
erature of the frontier and the west
by crystalizing in lasting form the i'm
pressions and manifestations of a de-
parting period.
A perusal of the stories discloses
that they cover many aspects of life
in Montana during the Indian period
and the early days of the whites. The
author has told them with decided
effect, using material that is rich in
interest with literary and artistic
masterfulness.
The production of this book is a
decided feat in the world of art and
letters, and should attract attention
to the author as one who is fitted by
knowledge and appreciation of the
life and times he describes, and by
high craftsmanship in art, to turn out
a literary work Of distinction. There
is no doubt the book will have wide
both in Montana and the
northwest, where its fidelity to life
and it's direct vivid description of
widely known types will win it
friends, but also throughout the
country, which will be quick to per-
ceive in it the charm of freshness and
novelty.
The author, Mr.. Linderman, hardly |
needs an introduction to the public, |
since he has been prominent in bust
ness and politics in the state for
years, former resident of Helena,
now dwelling in a home of aesthetic
and artistic settings on
the shores of Flathead lake, where he
produces his literary work, and is
man who has many friends and &C
luaintances throughout Montana.

FAMILY SLEEPS WHILE

baby and I. r. Shuts, the grand
father, miraculously escaped death
when their residence Is miles west of
Ekalaka, Carter county, was demol-
ished in a heavy windstorm last week.
At the first shock of the storm at
II o'clock at night the front of the
building was torn away and few
minutes later the rest of the house
was blown away with the exception
of the floor. Mr.. Barrerer was
knocked unconscious. The cradle
containing the baby was found 70
feet away pinned down by a section
of the roof. The baby was crying
vigorously but had not scratch.
Aside from the bruises suffered by
Mr.. aBrerer none of the other mem
bers of the family were injured. The
stove was left standing with two
joints of stovepipe intact. A table
with a lamp sitting on it was undis-
turbed and the lamp flue was not
broken.

John Rich, chairman of the federal
Minneapolis in a letter to associate
banks in Montana, urges the impera-
tive need of arranging for grain stor-
age to prevent loss of the big crops
which will be harvested throughout
the northwest.
The threatened car shortage is
likely to be realized and farmers
should guard against placing too
much reliance on shipping conditions.
The elevator capacity is sufficient to
take care of all the grain and in the
event there are not enough cars to
ship promptly farmers will be up
against the necessity of storing their
grain out of doors.
Chairman Rich's letter of warning
and the suggestions offered, follow:
To all banks in the ninth federal
reserve district:
Large yields of all grain crops in
the ninth federal reserve district are
practically assured. The production
of wheat, oats, barley, rye and flax
promises to run as high as $50, 000,-
900 bushels, of which wheat promises
to reach a total of approximately
100000 bushels.
The total rated elevator capacity
including private houses owned by
mills, operated in connection with
milling enterprises and not as pub
lie warehouses, in the states of Min
nesota, North Dakota, South Dakota
and Montana, is 225, 100000 bushels.
The actual working capacity of these
elevators is probably at least 20 per
cent less.
When the grain crops are cut and
the farmer will have only
two alternates. He must deliver his
grain at the elevator where the abil-
ity to receive it will be governed by
the car supply, or he must store it on
his farm. The total farm storage
for small grains does not
seem to be greater than 10 per cent |
Of the promised production, and in
all probability is considerably less.
During the month of May 619 re-
porting elevators in Minnesota and |
North and South Dakota received a
.otal of 1918 cars for the loading of
grain, or an average per elevator of
,.12 cars for the month. During the
month of June 759 reporting ele
