ADJUSTMENTS
Joseph Hislop, Scottish Tenor.

Joseph Hisiop. Scottish tenor Of the
Chicago Opera Company. gave a re-
cital yesterday afternoon in the Ma
tional Theater, assisted by Oscar
| Maestro. cellist, and Alberto Scia-
rietti. accompanist, in one of the con-
certs in the ten-star series.
Mr.. Hislop sang for the first time
in Washington, and to those who
heard him made an exceedingly good
Impression. He has a voice of sweet
quality and sings with artistic finish
and much dramatic fire. He was
probably at his best in the operatic
arias, in which the full volume of his
voice was shown. The famous .Ce-
leste Ada was beautifully sung, and
,lso the aria, "IIamento di Federico"
.tself an aria of great beauty. and
..1r. Hislop made the most of 1t. A
.,roup of English sons. one of Ger
nan, French song and, q group Of
scotch songs completed his program,
which was well balanced and thor
oughly enjoyable.
Mr.. Hislop is cultivated musician.
II the intellectual type. His inter-
Dretations show thought and sincere
study. Several times his high tones
seemed to lack k~freedom and his re-
spect for the pitch was not as pro-
found rs might be.
OF the smaller numbers the more
charming were Harold Craxton's
Come you, Mary: the two songs Of
Edward Grieg, Elm Schwann" and
Elm Traum." and the two songs from
the Hebrides. AS encores he sang
Little Rose of May" by Kathleen
Blair Clarke, and the famous La
Donne e Mobile brilliant finish to a
delightful program.
Mr.. Maestro seemed handicapped
by his instrument and sacrificed his
tone for tempo, making 1t metallic
and in the higher tones, very thin
many times. dwindling into a squeak.
His best work was in his own COM
position. "Chanson Hongrois." His only
encore was Cuts "Orientale."
Mr.. Sciarietti was an efficient ac-
companist. His playing was always
in the background, yet gave ample sup
port to both singer and cellist.

BOWDOIN WELL
IS ABANDONED
Castings Cannot Be Moved and Tools
Will Be Stored and Company
ReOrganized.

The well at Lake Bowdoin, of the
Bowdoin Oil and Gas company has
been abandoned and there will be no
more holes put down by this company,
without the cooperation of the neigh
boring lease helders and farmers, ac-
cording to the report of DR.. Smith,
who has just returned to Glasgow
from the well, where he represented
Glasgow stockholders in the final eff
fort to pull the casing from the old
hole. These decisions are those of
the directors of the company.
The company is equipped with a
powerful and efficient hosting appar-
tus, but the castings in the hole, which
is now down $500 feet, cannot be
pulled out on account of being "froz-
en-, tightly wedged' in the ground.
The power applied pulled the casing
apart but failed to loosen it at lower
depths of the well. 1t was therefore
decided to abandon this hole, and store
the apparatus for the present
According to all reports, there are
many small lease holders and farm
ers, in the vicinity who would reap
rich harvest, should the efforts Of
the company prove successful in
bringing in a WE'LL The company has
now invested more than 100000 in
prospecting, and the directors feel
that 1T is up to the others, who expect
to participate in the profits, to share
some of the labor and expense of the
pre- l;minary work. Much of the stock
in the company is held in Glasgow
and the sentiment among these stock
holders, is unanimous to store the
tools, and wait developments.

REPORTS AGREE
ON BUMPER CROP
Different Observers Predict Great
Yields For Valley County and
Northeast Montana.

Remarkably good crops and gen.
,eral revival in business is what |
have seen all over this part of Mon
tana,", was the good word passed out
by w. w. Cheely, the well known man.
ager of the Montana Newspaper As
sociation, on his return to Glasgow
Tuesday, after an auto trip over the
northeastern counties.
"We drove yesterday from Plenty
wood to Glasgow, through the Glen
tana country and Scobey, and saw the
best crops of the trip, if there is any
best where it all is so good; we drove
IT'S miles through what was practical
ly one tremendous grain field, giving
promise of yields of wheat up to 35
and 40 bushels, and other grains in
proportion" Mr.. Cheely said.
When asked about the business out
look the newspaper man remarked
that he had been over this country
every year for the last five years and
that the people were feeling better
now than ever befor. "Evryone is op-
timistic, and all believe that good
times are here again, when business
will move along in normal ways"
Chas. E. Peterson, who was in Great
Falls during the week, has given an
interview to the Tribune, in which he
states the results of his observations
in Valley county. He told the Tribune:
"The average wheat yield in the
county this year will be between 80
and 35 bushels an acre and the estl-
mate is that the county's total yield
will be around 100000 bushels. The
territory adjacent to Nashua is ex-
pected to produce 1,250,0O0 bushels
alone, and there are other territories
where the acre yield will be as large
"Car after car of twine has been un
loaded in Glasgow this year and the
roads are on some days lined with
wagons hauling harvest supplies to the
fields. Farmers expect to recover to
large extent from the adverse condi
tions of the last few years and bust
mess men agree that there is bount
to be an abrupt recovery with them

SWIMMING POOL
DEMAND GROWS
Mothers Say Glasgow Can Put One
In As Well As Many Other
Towns.

That nothing is being done in the
way of construction, does not indicate
that the swimming pool project has
been abandoned in Glasgow. On the
contrary the demand for it, on the
part of mothers is gaining in volume
daily, and if what prominent ladies
say regarding the matter is to be re-
lied on, the pool will be put in this
year, or there will be some explaining
to be done, by the members of the
once sterner sex.
The more the project is discussed
the more everyone realizes its i'm
portance, and the more acute is the
desire to have it put in at once. Those
who are urging action now refer to
what other towns are doing. In Havre
actual construction of pool has COM
menced. The estimated cost of the
pool is about $4,000. 1t will be built
of reinforced concrete and will be 100
feet in length and 40 feet wide, in
the shape of an oval. 1t will be en-
closed with an iron railing and a
board fence. Spring boards will be
installed on the deep end which will
be seven and a half feet and slope
up to the shallow end. two feet deep.
The pool will be completed about Sep
tember Is.
In Harlowtown and Glendive pools
are also being built. In the latter
named town one is being constructed,
said to be the largest in the state
This is being done by volunteer labor
and contributions of money and ma
terial. Everybody is welding SHOW

in favor of the pool was manifest. II

BAD WRECK ON
PACIFIC COAST

Eureka, Cal, Aug. 7.-Forty-eight
persons, Sc passengers and II of the
crew, were lost last night when the
steamship Alaska of the San Fran
cisco and Portland Steamship COM
pany, southbound from Portland, Ore,
to San Francisco, sank 30 minutes
after crashing into the rocks of Blunt's
reef, 40 miles south Of this city.
The survivors, numbering 166 per-
sons. were brought here today by the
rescue ship Anyox, the first vessel to
reach the scene of the wreck in re-
sponse to the Alaska's radio signals.
The coast guard tug Ranger, dis
patched early today from Eureka, re-
turned to port with the bodies of 12
men. Eight were members of the
crew and four were passengers. Capt.
Harry Hobey, master of the Alaska,
is still unaccounted for and is believed
to have gone down with the ship.
Of the survivors landed by the

DEMONSTRATION
OF IRRIGATION
Miniature Farm Will Be One of Fair
Attractions With Many
Others.

A womans building of double the
present capacity, a miniature irrigated
farm, under the direction of the pro-
ject engineers, and a practical dem
onstration silo, are among the big ed
ucational features of the Valley coun-
ty fair, this year. These arrangements
have been completed by Secretary Fred
Weigel, who reports unusual interest
in the fair by country people, who are
writing from different parts of the
county regarding exhibits which they
propose to make.
The bumper crop that is now beng
harvested in the county, and the spirit
of OPTIMISM that is now driving busl-
ness forward, are the causes for new
life in the farmers, and they will we
with each other this year, in showing
the world just what can be done on
Valley county land. The exhibits will
be many and will be of variety and
quality that will make the county
outrank older and more noted agrl-
cultural districts. The exhibits this
wear will cover larger field and be
numerically greater than ever shown
before at the county fair.
Along entertainment and amusement
lines Mr.. Weigel has conclued con-
tracts with noted automobile racers
who will be present and contest the
speed superiority of a number OF the
standard makes of cars. These dare
devils and speed demons are among
the most noted in the United States
and are guaranteed to furnish more
than the number of thrills usually at
forded by these highly thrilling meet
ings. -,
A carnival company will also holt
continuous free shows; there Will be
ball games between the best teams II
the county; some splendid horse rae
ing, and it is believed other high elias:

C. Ross Irvine, who left here last

The scenario of his career during
the second episode in which Glasgow
people are interested, reveals that

of driver, whom he rewarded with
one of his famous scraps of paper, ne
stopped at Wolf Point. He is quick,

balance to be paid at delivery at Ger.

along uneventfully until they got into
the southwestern part of the state
