Helena-The state public service
commission is gathering information
relative to complaints mailed from
Twodot relative to the condition of
the waterworks plant in that town.
The complaint to the commission
was to the effect that a portion of

frozen the last two weeks, and that
there have been little apparent eff
fort to make repairs, making it
necessary for some Of the consumers
to carry the water.

agent, an appointment made to fill
the acancy created when Charles A
Whipple retired from that office sew
eral months ago, returns to Helena
an old-time citizen who helped make
early day history of the capital city,
Soon after his arrival in Helena in
1880 Cook was foreman of the Cans
& Klein ranch at Fort Logan. Later
he entered the mercantile business
and was in charge of the Geddis
store. Soon afterward he formed an
association with DR.. William Parber-
ry, at one time owner of the townsite
of White Sulphur Springs, and with
him established a sheep ranch in the
Judith Basin, on Dog creek in Fergus
county, and there continued opera
tions until 1898.
In 1890, however, he took up his
residence in Lewistown, his present
home, having received the appoint
ment of receiver of the United States
land office there from President Har-
rison. He served as receiver for four
years. In 1895 he was elected treas
urer of Fergus county, serving two
terms. Soon afterward Cook was
elected mayor of what vas then the
town of Lewistown. A year later the
town of Lewistown was incorporated
as a city, and Cook was the first
mayor, having been reelected and
served as the first mayor of the city
for a period of two years.
Some Early Day Affairs
In 1898 the firm of Cook & Hill
ger was formed, and since that time
Cook has been associated with David
Hilger. While Cook and Hilger have
been associated in business affairs
in the Judith Basin since pioneer
days, their families having been ear
ed as neighbors, and their sheep ran
ches adjoining, they have not follow
ed the same political paths, for Cook
has been a lifelong republican and
Hilger of the democratic faith. Mr..
Hilger received the democratic APP
pointment as register of the United
States land office in Lewistown when
Mr.. Cook retired as receiver, after
Grover Cleveland became president.

N. 3. Knapp. faculty athletic man
ager Of high school athletics, and Paul
Pritchardn football coach, are trying
to get opposition FOR q game here next
Saturday. Negotiations are underway
to bring Thief River Falls to Grand
Forks for an Armistice day battle.
Thief River defeated Central early in
the season by a score Of 20 to%0. and
the local team would like to wipe out
the loss.

American Legion promote the Satur-

Walter Schlosser said last night that
he was willing to take over the game
provided the high school could secure
a suitable opponent. It was not
thought that either Cavalier or Graf
ton would make a good drawing card
for tho reason that Grafton has al
ready been beaten by Central and
Cavalier did not look strong enough to
furnish the Grand Forks team much
opposition, in view of its overwhelm-
ing defeat by Fargo last Saturday.
As the local team now stands it is
stronger than it has been at any time
during the syear. The loss nj Nc
Cracker in the backfield has, been off
set by added strength in the line. Doe
