GLASGOW LEGION NEXT
HOST TO WELFARE ASSN.
Poplar Meeting Attended by Sixty Vet
q Many Join the Famous
Box Car Society.

With about sixty Legionnaires as
their guests, the members of Poplar
Post No. IS we're hosts on Saturday,
Sept. %, to the American Legion We'll
fare association Of northeastern Mon
tana. The entire day was given over
to. entertainment in some form. In
all there were about sixty visiting Le-
gionnaries present. The association
chose Glasgow as its the place for it's
next meeting which will be held late in
the year.
The morning was taken up with
registrations and a reunion of buddies
in the club rooms under the Gateway
hotel. In the afternoon the visitors
were guests of the post and the Com
mercial club at the program given at
the fair grounds.
The big event of the day came at 6
o'clock in the evening when a course
banquet was served at the high school
by the ladies' auxiliary of the post
and Miss Elsie Baertsch of the do
nestle science department of the high
school. Covers were laid for one hun
dred guests. At the conclusion of the
banquet the buddies from out of town
said this had been one of the best feeds
the association had ever enjoyed.
Attorney l.. A. Brown, commander
of the Froid post, was POSTMASTER at
the banquet and toasts were responded
to by 0. G. Lamport, state adjutant;
E. Y. Poore, vice state commander;
Dee Patton, commander of the Glas-
gov post; S. c. Taaborg of Medicine
Lake; Attorney Hugh Marion of Wolf
Point; w. C. McDaniels of Scobey;
Coach Hagen of Culbertson; Attorney
Arlie M. Foor of Wolf Point; Earl
Vance of Miles City; Scott P. Hart,
commander of the Poplar post, and
others. Mayor H. M. Cosier welcomed
the guests to the city. The boys de-
clare that the mayor did himself proud
on this occasion.
During the banquet solo numbers
were provided by Miss Grace Greger-
son, Miss Pete Patch, Mr.. Taylor, DR..
Anderson and Vernon Jackish. They
were all good and were heartily re-
ceived by the Legionnaires. This was
one of the first times Mr.. Taylor, a
newcomer, has been heard in Poplar,
and he made a decided hit.
Following the banquet the guests
were taken to the Legion hall where a
dance vas given in their honor. The
dance proved to be one of the biggest
affairs of it's kind attempted in Pop
lar for a long time. Another event
that was part of the evening program
was the initiation ceremony conducted
by the 40 and 8 society, the unique
branch organization Of the American
Legion. This is an organization that
is strictly a Legion affair and mem
bership in it is highly priced by the
buddies. eBtween Is and 20 novices
took the initiation.
The days activities closed with the
dance and the initiation and the boys
returning to their homes declared that
the Poplar post had proved royal
hosts.-Poplar Standard.

RUM RUNNERS
POSING AS FILM MEN

Lethbridge, Alta.-Resourceful and
daring are the rum runners of the
Alberta Montana border. Going the
motor car one better, a Denver, Colo,
liquor ring is said to be operating ar
airship between that city and the Can
adam Rockies, southwest of this city.
Thus far the aerial rum runners have
evaded capture, as it is not easy, with
the facilities at hand, to block the
ether highways frequented by the
cunning birdmen.
The macine is camouflaged, it is
stated, by a full assortment of motion

one visits the flying booze boat, and
a number here have seen it, reports
say, he is politely shown over the ma
chine and informed that they are en-
gagged in screening a scenic film for a
New York producing company. This
takes place during the day.
At night the motion picture men get
into action on a more lucrative job.
They are met by high powered cars
from this city and at Fernie, B. c.,

the Colorado metropolis.

ARGONAUT MINE TRAGEDY
POINTS OUT MANY LESSONS

The tragedy at the Argonaut mine
in California in which AZ miners lost
their lives is one that has attracted
worldwide attention. The miners
were entrapped deep in the mine with
no means of escape when a tremen-
dous fire caught in the shaft and
burned with a fierceness that nothing
could withstand. The men were nearly.
one mile below the surface when the
fire started. Rescuers at once begun
an effort at rescue, but there being
but n entrance to the mine this was
found especially difficult. The on
ly feasible way to reach the imprisoned
miners was through the adjoining
Kennedy mine. This proved almost a
%herculean task, but after % days of
strenuous work the entombed men
were reached. They we're found be-
hind a bulkhead which they had erect
ed to keep out the poison gas, but
which proved insufficient.
The lesson to be learned from this
momentous and terrible tragedy
would indicate that more than one exit
n entrance should be provided for
every deep working mine. A law to
that effect exists in Montana, and
such a law is also said to be in force
and effect in California.
Readers of the Courier NAV doubt
less be interested in knowing in what
section of California the mine is sit
uated. The Argonaut mine is one
mile north of Jackson, in Amador
county, California. It is about 80
miles northeast of San Francisco. 1t is
situated on what is known as the
mother lode" This %gold-bearing for
nation or belt runs along the western
slope of the foothills of the Sierra
Nevada mountains, which strike north
20 degrees west. The main working
sha is down to a depth of 1885 feet,
owing to the fact that it is sunk on
the incline, which averages GO degrees.
n altitude is 1900 feet above sea
level.
The fire started in the shaft of the
Argonaut mine on the night of Aug
ust ~, 1922. The Muldoon shaft, $50
feet distant was intended as another
exit, but owing to the drift of the
flames and gases it could not be used
by the imprisoned men. This means
OF escape proved entirely useless in
time OF dire need, so the Al entombed
miners persisted. With adequate meal
provided for escape from the mine the
men could have been saved, but such
was not the case. The adjoining Ken
nedy mine was closed so far as the
imprisoned miners were concerned and
might as well have been under oper-
alton, as there were no means of es-
cape through that property. Both of
these mines were on fire in 1919 and
the timbers were destroyed where the
fire ragged and that is what caused the
debris and mud through which the res
cuers had to work in their effort to
reach the entombed men. But all ef-
tort at rescue proved u~navailing as
the men are declared to have persisted

RANSOM COUNTY .
HISTORY IS TO
Be PUBLISHED )
The Material, Gathered BY Mrs.
Curtis, To Be Presented To
State Historical Assn.
MUsKET, BUCKLES, FOUND

Lisbon, N. D., June 12-One North
Dakota county will have a we'll de-
fined history to present to the State
Historical Association due to the work
of Mrs. Walter G. Curtis of this city.
Mrs. Curtis first commenced working
on the history of Ransom county for a
club paper. This beginning interest
ed her so much, and attracted so much
attention that the original short club
paper has been developed to an ad-
dress of more than an hour and much
of the material gathered cannot be in
cluded.
The material gathered by Mrs. Cur
It's includes all possible records. She
has hunted out and recorded on maps
many of the physical aspects of the
county in the earlier days. The maps
include among other things, the old
1Sdian trails which cross the county,
the military trails to the Northwest
which crossed the county before the
boundaries of the county were fixed
or the state outlined. She has also
located on these maps the point where
General Sibley spent eight days rest
ing, and found there the outlines Of
the earth works raised by his men. In
digging around among these earth
works, an old musket and buckles
have been found. .syssV.
Mrs. Curtis also has shown on the
maps the locations of the sand hills,
and has secured from geologists, the
reasons for these sand hills and the
locations of the Sheyenne river, with
changes that have taken place in the
course of the river as the glacial wa
ters receded.
Mrs. Curtis has also gone out and
found the reason for the names of the
different townships in Ransom coun-
ty. Rosemead, being named from the
words Of an early settler, who looked
out at the cluster of wild roses about
her and exclaimed upon the beauty of
the "rose meadow" Oswego was so
named because the early settlers
there were from New York, and Sgd
ma being the name of the first woman
resident of the county. Mrs. Curtis
also is compiling a list of all times
and places where Ransom county peo-
pie have been mentioned.
One of her interesting experiences
was an appearance with her lecture
before the pioneer mothers club of
the county. "If had been possessed
of four hands," said Mrs. Curtis, in re-
counting this experience, II could
not have taken down notes on all of
the experiences poured in my ears af-
for that naatinp."

ledges on each end of the dam site
that will afford plentiful supply OF

"This reservoir will supply suffi-
cient water for the irrigation of thirty
sections of land, good part of which
could be supplied by gravity.
1T seems that the most urgent
thing to be done at this time is to Sc
cure an appropriation by congress to
be expended in surveys and investi-
cations of the projects mentioned, as
we'll as other projects that have been
considered in the past, notably the
Bowman project and the various
pumping projects along the Missouri
River bottoms.
Why Conserve Waters
The flood waters of the Missouri
that should be conserved for irriga-
tion are not only allowed to run to
waste but in addition cause great
damage along its two thousand mile
course from the mouth of the Yellow
stone to the Mississippi River. Thous-
;ands Of acres of fertile farm land are
cut annually but this does not end
the destruction wrought. A
The Missouri River supplies a
large quota of the 145 cubic miles of
silt that passes through the mouth
of the Mississippi annually. The
silt carried by the Missouri River
which under flood conditions is over
one half of one per cent of it's volume
is perhaps the greatest menace to
navigation of the lower Mississippi. It
makes the problem of providing aux
iliary outlets extremely difficult.
The Atchafalya outlet which carries
about 1-3 of the water of the lower
Mississippi during flood conditions
has caused sitting up of the Miss
issippi below the mouth Of the Red
River. And at the present time the
government is asked to close the
Atchafalaya outlet at cost of mil
lions of dollars. Il JNl 49,:
why not spend these, millions to
control the Missouri River floods in
Montana, North Dakota and South
Dakota, using the water for irrigation,
thereby saving the large acreage of
farm land destroyed by floods an.

Colorado River project where seven
states are cooperating in urging de-
velopment.
"The New Orleans Chamber Of
Commerce suggests that the twenty
seven states concerned in the flood
control Of the Mississippi cooperate
for their mutual benefit.
II sincerely hope that the North
Dakota Irrigation Association will
have not only your moral support but
your financial assistance as we'll in
carrying on the good work they are
now doing in promoting irrigation
development in this state and would
suggest that tri-state organization
