to the companies in the district that
are hauling their supply or exhausting
their present reservoirs, Adam j
Euiberg, president of the company, an
nounces. Work on the water line viii
be pushed as rapidly as possible.
The drilling contract which the com
pany has let calls for development OF
| 24O acres out of GAO held by the Snow
Cap in a nearly solid block in the Sun
burst field. and, in addition, the Snow
Cap may start a well on its remaining
400 acres or the 100 acres it has &C
| quired in Cat Greek, Eulberg said.
The Kevin-Sunburst acreage, which
will see immediate development, is 10.
Gated in sections Z, s and 9-34-2W
The Cat Greek acreage of the com
pany is in section 22-15-29, where

PREPARE GRAIN
FOR two FAIRS
in NORTHWEST
MacSpadden Expects Better
Show at PendletOn Than
Year Ago.

Four entries of threshed wheat have
been sent by County Agent +. II. Mac
Spadden to the Northwest Hay and
Grain show at Pendleton, Ore.
The Cascade county exhibit will in
clude three samples of hard winter
wheat and one of spring. Last year,
with four entries in the show from
Cascade county, every sample placed
and the results this year are expected
to at Leaf equal this record, since the
grains sent are of higher quality. The
samples at the Pendleton show are IN
5O-pound lots, and on the close of the
show may be entered as a part OF the
entries from the county to the chicago
International show later in the year.
Since the Pendleton show IS September
10 to 90, it will be impossible for the
same grain to be shown at the state
fair. Other grains have been cleaned
| and prepared for this event, however,
in peck lots.
MacSpadden has been busy for the
last two weeks in journeys about the

and forage and making arrangements

sary to carry a large staff of workers

AUSTRIAN SAYS GOT BLACK EYE
BECAUSEH HE DUNNED HIS BOSS
FOR $500, WAGES FOR SUMMER

clad in a tattered shirt, a pair Of
oyeralls that were worn to shreds, and
a pair of shoes, Peter Baliajik, age 80,
an Austrian, applied at the county jail
for lodging Sunday night.
The wardrobe he wore represented
his nav for working since spring as a
s%heepherder, he told the jailer. FOL
good measure he carried an eye or
black and blue hues that had swollen
shut. which, he said, his former EN-
ployer had thrown in for good measure
when Baliajik asked him for the $500
he said was due him.
In addition to the lodging he asked
for. Baliajik received a good meal and
a new pair of trousers s%alvaged from
the automobile of Deputy Sheriff Curt
Dennis. The meal was charity but
the trousers were due rather to the
sense of modesty of the jailer.
BaiTiajik told Jailer Mike Kommers
that he had been working for a rancher
near Vaughn ''since seeding time"
herding sheep most of the time. Dur
ing that time, he said, he had drawn
no part of his wages, had not even
asked for clothes. Sunday he went to
the rancher and asked for his wages.
The employer refused to give him any
and told him to get to - Off the
ranch"
Walking the four miles to Vaughn,
Baliajik got his second wind and hiked
the remaining Is miles to Great Falls

county Jail.
