Mrs. C.H. Carroll
Is Laid to Rest
Active in COlville Social and
Business Affairs for
Many Years

Mrs. Clara Carroll, wife of c. H.
Carroll, died at her home in Colville
early Monday morning, as result
of organic heart trouble from which
she had suffered for many years. She
had been confined to the house much
of the time since the first of January.
Mrs. Carroll was nearly 81 years
Of age, having been born in Iowa
City, Iowa, Oct. 7, 1860. She was
united in marriage with c. H. Car
roll at Iowa City in 1890, and in
that year they came to Washington,
where he established drugstore at
Port Townsend.
In 1900 Mr.. and Mrs. Carroll came
to Marcus, where he operated
drugstore for two years. During
this time Mrs. Carroll went back to
Iowa City and took the pharmaceuti-
cal course, and ever since has been
associated actively with her husband
in the drug business. They came to
Colville in 1902, and for 20 years op-
Grated Carroll's Pharmacy together.
Their only son Burdine H. Carroll
followed in the footsteps of his par
ents and became druggist, and af-
ter locating in Seattle took as his
bride graduate pharmacist. Thus
the Carroll family has been a family
of pharmacists.
Mrs. Carroll was ever active in So
cial and community efforts, and was
a member of the Eastern Star, Wo-
men of Woodcraft, Colville Improve
ment Club, Embroidery Club, and the
Congregational church. Owing to
poor health in recent years Mr. and
Mrs. Carroll might have joined their
son in Seattle but for Mrs. Carroll's
desire that she "remain in Colville
with her friends" Her friends were
real to her, and she had many of
them.
+. Besides her husband and son, Mrs.
Carroll leaves an only sister, Mrs.
T. j. Crocker of Boise, Idaho, who
was unable to come on account f ill
ness. An uncle, Samuel Moore, re-
sides at Baltimore, Md. Mrs. Car
rolls father Orsemus Moore died in
Colville in 1906, and her mother Mrs.
Drusilla (MarshalD Moore died here
in 1916.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. f. Demmons of
Spokane, relatives of Mrs. Carroll,
and Mrs. Burdine Carrol's sister and
husband Mr.. and Mrs. C. L. Speer of
Seattle arrived for the funeral, also
Mrs. Alice Gastineau, C. H. Carroll's
sister, of Port Angeles.
Services were held at the home
Wednesday afternoon, conducted by
the Rev. J. M. Higgins, pastor of
the Congregational church. Music
was furnished by quartet of East
ern Stars and Masons, Mrs. j. c.
Harrigan, Mrs. E. R. LaVigne, VIM.
C. Keller, H. ]. Plumb, who sang
Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and
"By Cool Siloam's Shady Rill." Pail
bearers were l.. E. Jesseph, H. 0.
Bair, M. r. Strong, F. Leo Grin
stead, Thomas Aspend, Hugh Wad-
dell.
The floral offerings were unusual
in their beauty and number, express
ing the esteem of the people of the
community in which she had lived.
Business houses were closed during
the funeral hour.
Burial services were conducted by
the Eastern Star, in charge OF the
matron Mrs. H. o. Bair, at Highland
cemetery.

plans of which are under way for the
work to start in the near future.
The Methodist women will furnish
a dinner for the men while the
work is being done. A spirit Of CO.
operation has been shown here which
bespeaks the spirit which builds
cities, and if all churches and societies
pull together in this manner there
will be in evidence a spirit that will
make Colville a better and a big
ger city. 1t is believed that other
churches will follow in this action,
and that in the work that has been
undertaken the saw and hammer OF
many different churches will make
a new church builded by love and
cooperation.

Young Belt After
nGy Now Benedict

A romance that had it's beginning
in those stirring days when Uncle San
was training thousands Of young mer
in preparation to show the kaiser thai
his dream of Germany ruling ths
world was an idle one, had a happy
elimination last Saturday afternoon
July 29, when Miss Alma Alta Hutch
inson of Wilsall, Meagher county, be-
came the bride of Leo c. Graybill OF
this city. Miss Hutchinson is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. O.
Hutchinson of Wi.ssll, the wedding be-
ing quiet home affair attended by
only the parents Of the bride and q
few Of her most intimate friends and
by Mr.. Graybill's brother, F. L. Gray
bin of Great Falls, and his wife. Fol-
lowing a wedding dinner the young
couple left Wilsall by train for Glacier
National park, where they have taken
a cabin on the shores of Lake McDon-
aid and are spending their honeymoon
They will come to Belt about August
-15, and after September / viii be at
home to their friends at the Chamber
lain home on Second avenue south.
Mr.. and Mrs. Graybill first met at
rCa &1ObtEos soVnf ahS VA iat
was attending Drake university and
Mr.. Graybill was stationed at Camp
Dodge in the military service. The
acquaintance formed there was con-
tinued; Miss Hutchinson was gradu-
ated and returned to her home in Mon
tana; the armistice was signed, young
Graybill was discharged from service
and re-entered college to complete his
law course, being graduated in March,
1920. Montana called, though it was
not her boundless resources, her beau
tiful scenery, her promise of oppor
tunity for young lawyer, nor yet the
fact that he had brother living in the
Falls that called the most insistently-~
it was that something that brought
about last Saturdays happy event.
The young lawyer hurried to Montana,
applied for admission to the bar, was
successful and in July, 1920, hung out
his shingle in Belt. Progressive,
taking keen interest in all civic mat
ters and fully practicing the motto Of
business first" he soon established
a good practice and made business and
personal friends. For awhile occas-
ional visits over Kings Hill into
Meagher county held bit of mystery
for his home people, which was ex-
planned year ago last Fourth of July
when Miss Hutchinson and her father
visited Belt and when a month ago
he took lease on the Chamberlain
home a suspicion of the near arrival
Of the happy event became certainty, |
and now Mr.. Graybilrs friends await |
his return to extend to him and his
bride their congratulations and a well
come to the community.
Mr.. Graybill holds the position of
city attorney and city clerk, and is I
also adjutant of the local post of the I
American Legion. Il

Ben G. Johnston, l. H. Kommers
and Gilbert T. Boyd, constituting the
board of county commissioners, Wis
tied this section of the county last
Thursday, mainly to view the recently
completed road leading from the new
bridge on Belt creek at the Weir and
Huber ranches to the Ed. Woed
ranch before accepting it, and TO
again visit property owners along the
proposed Orr coulee road over the
west grade to the Peterson ranch.
They found conditions at the newly
constructed Lower Belt road not en-
tirely satisfactory, and it is probable
that considerable additional work
viii have TO be done on it before it
is accepted by the board. They said
that in places the road was two feet
moreover than called for by the speci-
fications; that in places it was not up
to grade, and in other places the sur
veyor4s stakes had not been followed.
They said that the acceptance Of the
road as left by the contractors would
later mean an expense to the county
and intimsted that the contractor
would be required TO bring it up to
specifications before it was accepted
Later they went out over the west
grade and visited property owners
along the proposed route of the new
Orr coulee road They found condi-
tions much the same as those which
for long time have delayed the con-
struction of a road that would elm
mate to a great extent the present
hard, dangerous grade to the bench.

Ask Return Dem
OnStratOr and Fair

Following the action of the board of
county commissioners In eliminating
from the proposed budget for Cascade
county appropriations for the main
tenAnce of a county demonstration
agent and for the preparation Of a
county agriculturist exhibit at the
state fair, which would mean q saving
of S3,400 to the county, the Great
Falls Commercial club last week sent
committee to the board asking for
an appropriation of $1,000 for home
demonstration work in the county and
that 5000 be appropriated to pay for
the Cascade county exhibits at the
state fair. A further request from
the advisory board Of the state fair
for the county asking that an appro-
priation be made for payment of ex-
penses incurred in the collection OF ex-
hibits for the fair was also made.
The board pointed out to those pre-
senting the requests that a saving of
$1,000 had been made by eliminating
the services of the home demonstrator
and y1,400 on the state fair appro-
priation. The city committees in
formed the board of their belief that
there was need in the rural sections Of
the county of the services Of the
demonstration agent. The board de-
cided to take both petitions under ad-
yisement and II is very probable that
the appropriations will be made as
requested.
Judging from the sentiment about
Belt, it is certain that IL vote on the
matter could be taken both appro-
priations would be lost by fully an
1920 vote, but as long as no protests
to again entering the items in the
budget comes from the taxpayers Of
the county no blame can attach to the
board II they do grant the requests

Long Search Of Belt Boy to Locate
Father Has Happy Ending in Vallejo

The Los Angeles Post of a recen
date prints the following story of /
Belt boys long search for bis father
and of his locating him in Vallejo
Cal. after going through hardship,
that few boys of today would under
take. The clippings were given us b,
John Jeffries, to whom they wers
sent by his daughter, Mrs. Garry, whs
is now living in Los Angeles. The
stories follow;

And then, evidently after Harvey
had made q second visit to the police

Of the search, tells of the locating of
the father, thusly:

Burglary Alarm
System a Marvel

A several days visit made TO Belt
last week by H. Nj. Harper of Mime
apolis, brings to mind the fact that
Belt has something that very few
towns of its size has, and that is q
bank equipped with modern and COM
plete burglary alarm system. Mr..
Harper is an inspector for the A. b.
McClintock company Of Minneapolis
and his visit here was for the purpose
of going over the burglary alarm
system Of the Farmers e. Miners
State bank.
A visit to the bank and the listening
to an explanation of the system gives
one an idea how unlikely it is that a
bank thus equipped will ever expert
ence an attempt at burglary, to say
nothing of a successful break. Tbs
system is, of course, electrical, and
any attempt to force an entrance to
any of the doors or windows or TO the
vault sets off gong that would
arouse a large part of the city.
Through the heavy concrete construc-
tion of the vault run electric wires
woven into the concrete SO thickly
that it would be almost impossible to
drill through it without striking one
of them, and the minute that one is
touched, off goes the alarm. The door
of the vault is similarly equipped, and
at the weak point, the mechanism
that operates the bolts, is highly SEN
sitive plate, which the moment either
heat or force is applied TO il also sets
the gong changing. For daytime
protection push buttons are conven-
iently located at different places in the
working compartments that when
touched also ring the alarm. Besides
thes, precautions the company has a
standing reward of $500 for evidence
that brings conviction for any attempt
at burglary. This is in addition to
the reward offered by the Bankers
The systems are frequently inspect
ed and equipped with all the new in
ventions and improvements which are
brought out. and it was for this pur-
pose that Mr. Harper visited Belt
last week

Commissioners Visit Belt and Talk
of Local Road Work and New Bridge

A few of the property owners refuse
to give the right-of-way, some ask
ing as much as from $4,000 to Sl0,-
600 for it, the total amount wanted
exceeding the estimated cost of the
construction of the road considerably.
One woman who has steadily opposed
giving the right-of-way because she
feared the loss of the coal right as
well as the surface right, saw the
matter in a more favorable way after
the board explained to her that the
granting of the right-of-way would in
no wise affect her coal right. How
ever, as it is the expressed opinion of
the board that all of the right-of-way
cannot be obtained gratuitously, and
recognizing the justice Of the claim Of
those who must haul their loads over
the hill for an easier and safer route.
they said that petition which would
pass court procedure would be drawn
up and sent out here for signatures,
and that as soon as returned con-
demnation proceedings would be start
ed with view to obtaining title to the
right-of-wsy and the completion of
the road before winter set in. As yet
we have not learned of the receipt of
the petition.
When asked as to the construction
of the Armington-R -Riceville road, and
the new bridge here, the board stated
that the Opening of bids for the road
which had been set for July 21, had
been postponed until later in order
that the Sun River-Simms road might
get well underway, and that the call
for bids on the Belt bridge had also
been delayed, but that bids on both
projects would be opened soon and
that the money for the construction
of the bridge had been set apart and
that construction should be started
in the near future. AS to the road,
they were not quite so definite, point
ing out that the right-of-way had not
yet been entirely obtained, three pro-
pcrty owners still holding out.
the board did not 80 state, it
was gathered that there is some doubt
there win be sufficient funds
to complete this road from Arming-
ton to Riceville, though they did
state that some of it would be built.
It seemed to be a case Of waiting TO
see how much money would be left
after government projects already
are completed before taking |
up the local road project.
Saturday Chairman Johnston Of the !
soard. and e. T. Harlow, Great Falls
resident engineer Of the state high
way commission, visited the RiceviIle |
section on trip made with view to |
'uture contracts that may be let for
and repair work. What, |
I any, connection this visit has with |
he road is not known.
