PEOPLES FORUM
SAD PLIGHT OF PENSACOLA
LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.

Recently / had occasion to visit the
Pensacola Library, ana was greatly
disappointed to note the lack Of prog
ress made there during the past de-
cade.
Today the library Is in practically
the same condition it was when I last
visited II, ten years ago. And this
condition is one in which we can take
no pride. AS an example OF the stag
nation refer to, might mention that
out of a total population of over thir-
ty thousand in this city, only one hum
bred and forty-two are registered
members OF the Library Association!
Now this is lamentable state OF af-
fairs for city the size of Pensacola
Yet it is by no means the fault OF the
secretary and librarian. Miss Lottie
Flynn has devoted something like
twenty five years Of her life to the
service OF the local library. and only
| by her heroic efforts and faithful Ia
bours has its present standard been
maintained. Her fidelity to the cause
! of public enlightenment and culture is
worthy of a nobler appreciation than
has heretofore been displayed by the
people of Pensacola.
AS a practical means OF expressing
our gratitude for her faithful service
and perseverance in the face Of dis
couraging circumstances, 1 would sug-
gest that we aid the cause which is so
near and dear to her-the cause of our
Library Association.
A committee could be appointed to
receive contributions for the library,
either in the form Of cash donations or
standard works OF literature. Other
methods could be adopted at the dis
erection of the committee.
BY SO doing feel we would be ex-
pressing our gratitude to Miss Flynn
| in a manner most pleasing to her, ana
at the same time raise the standard OF
our local library to level with those
of other cities our size. 1t is only by
concrete actions we can. uphold our
Wanted civic pride and patriotism.

HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGES
TO Be TRIED IN STATE
Secretary Mabee of Rod & Gun Club
Congratulated by Chairman State
Game Commission on Pheasant
Showing.

w. w. Mabee, secretary of the
Glasgow Rod & Gun Club received a
very interesting letter this week from
Thomas N. Marlowe of Missoula,
chairman of the Montana Fish and
Game Commission, congratulating the
club on it's showing made in raising
Chinese pheasants.
Mr.. Marlowe said in part:
81 think the past winter has been
one of the most severe we have had
in Montana for number Of years and
am sure that if the pheasants which
we have planted can survive such a
winter as this that the future is very
promising indeed and l am sure very
much pleased with the enthusiasm
shown by the members of your asso-
citation.
"The Commission is making a stren-
uous effort to get some Hungarian
Partridges for liberation in this state
and assure you that if we can buy
them we will endeavor to distribute
them around the state.
II am sorry that other places in the
state, however, have not done like
you fellows have done there, that is,

VALLEY GETS S13,6S2.7O
DANIELS BOND MONEY
New County Sells Large Bond Issue
At Par to Take Up Debts Due
Parent Counties, Sheridan
and Valley.

The Daniels County Board of Com
missioners have sold bonds for $685.
572.75, the amount which the county
owes Sheridan and Valley counties in
cident to the formation of the coutny.
The bonds will be in denominations
of $1,000 of $500 or both and will
bear six per cent interest. The bonds
were sold at par and without expense
whatever to the county, the bonding
company paying all legal expense and
the printing of the bonds. The bonds
run from eleven to twenty years.
John E. Price & Co., who have had
a standing bid for the bonds, was the
only bidder and has now started on
the work of attending to all the legal
phases of the issue. This will make
way for the payment of other war
rants by Daniels county, as the big
warrant Tor more than 100000, made
in favor of Sheridan county, was one
of the first warrants issued, and its
size blocked the payment of smaller
warrants following, as the county
can only redeem warrants in order as
they are registered.
Out of the bonds Valley county will
be paid the sum of $13,652.7O, being
full settlement of the general and seed
relief tax adjustment. The adjust
ment of the amount due on the classi-
fication work has not yet been made
between the two boards Of county
commissioners.

PARTRIDGE FOR MONTANA

The state fish and game department
has placed a cable order with Czecho-
Slovakia for 500 pair Of Hungarian
partridges. The purchase price of the
birds is SO a pair delivered at the
headquarters of the department in
Helena. According to Warden C. A..
Jakways, the Hungarian partridge
weighs about one pound, is especially
prolific and is adapted to the climate
of Montana. Washington installed sew
eral hundred pairs of these partridges
some time ago and they have increas-
ey by the thousands, it is said. The
birds have also been tried out in AL
berta. The American Game Protec-
tive association will attend to receiv-
ing the Montana shipment in New
York. The money for the purchase
will be taken from the state fish and
game fund.

DESP0NDENT FARMER
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Young Man of Poplar Fires Two
Bullets Into Head and
Survives.

Despite the fact that he fired two
revolver shots into his head and that
one of the bullets came within hairs
breadth of piercing the brain, physi-
clans declare that Eben Monroe, a
young north country farmer, has a
good chance to recover. Monroe is in
hospital at Wolf Point and DR..
Thos. Morrow, county health physi-
clan, said this morning friday that
his condition was satisfactory.
Monroe shot himself Sunday morn
ing about ten o'clock and was brought
to town Tuesday forenoon and taken
to Wolf Point that night where DR..
Morrow took an x-ray picture. The
picture showed two bullets had en-
tered the head. One bullet was lodg-
ed in the tissue at the base of the
brain and the second was lodged over
the spper jaw above the last molar
tooth. The bullet at the base of the
brain, which the x-ray showed to have
come within scratch of piercing that
organ has been extracted, but the
bullet over the jaw still remains.
Drs. Harris and Morrow, who have
attended Monroe say that he possess
es remarkable physique, which fact
will probably save his life. Had he
not possessed a rugged constitution
the physicians say he might have lost
his life before medical attention
reached him.
Due to the fact that Monroe did not
tell even his relatives of the exact ma
ture of the affair it was two days be-
fore he was attended by doctor. Up
until Monday night he insisted that he
| had met with but slight accident and
refused to permit the family to send
for a physician. The wound, which
was back of his right ear in the mas
told bone, was deceiving and until
Monroe consented to talk it was i'm
possible to tell whether or not it had
ben caused by fall or blow with
some blunt instrument. He was un-
conscious for the greater part of
Monday. When he was able to talk
ne would only say that he had heard
shot and that he saw big rock
go round and round. When DR.. Harris
arrived Tuesday night Monroe admit
ted that he had attempted his own
life. Despondent and discouraged
with the outlook for the future, he de-
cided to snuff out his life, he said.-
