Helena.
The cups are on display at the jew
elry shop of Carl Steller, 425 Central

than feet high and the others are
more than foot high. All have heavy
stands and are handsomely
engraved. They signify the winning

LescheT in Charge Sand
CouIee Bank; RumOrs Rife

II. G.. Lescher, associated with the
American Bank & Trust Company
bank of Great Falls until its closing
some time ago, has been appointed to
the staff of L. O. Shelton, state super
intendent of banks, and has been tenn
porarily placed in charge of the
Miners State Bank of Sand Coulee,
which closed its doors shortly after
the arrest of L. B. Lockhart, vice
president of that bank The appoint
ment of Mr. Lescher was indirectly the
result of the closing of the State Bank
of Belt, the state department sending
H. e. Stewart, who was in charge at
Sand Coulee, here upon the closing of
the local bank for short time.
Monday rumors gained circulation
on the streets of Belt that the First
National bank at Stanford, the First
National bank at Ceyser and one of
the banks at Highwood had been
closed Investigations made by local
people as to closing of the Stanford
and Geyser banks proved the rumors
to be absolutely groundless and IL is
said the same is true of the Highwood
bank. Starting a rumor of such ma
ture is a serious criminal offense
under the laws Of Montana and the Of 1
ficials of the Judith Basin county
banks have an investigation under
way to determine who is responsible
for starting the rumor with . view TO
10 the full extent Of the
law.

Kibbey, remaining there for year
and then for two years was in the EN-
ploy of j. T. Armington at Arlington
driving large bands of sheep through
to st. Paul, returning with cattle
Then for two years he engaged in
stockraising with Mr.. Arlington on
shares
In 1892 Mr.. Lewis located what is
now known as the Calone & johnson
coal mine here, operating it for a per-
lod of years, the output going to the
B. q M. smelter in Great Falls. After
disposing of the mine he engaged in
various lines of endeavor, operating
the old Bateman house for several
years, the livery business, contracting
and farming. In many of his opera
tions he was successful financially,
but in others luck went against him
and the competence he had amassed
dwindled in one way and another until
only small local realty holdings re-
manned. A man of kindly and opti-
mistic nature, his reverses. seemingly,
troubled him but little and were never
inflicted upon his friends. But that
they affected him more deeply than
was apparent is evidenced by the fact
that he left home and friends to spend
his last days among strangers.
In April, 1890 he was married to
Miss Susie Dockery, six children be-
ing hnrn~t to themy four surviving
Frank, Fred, Harvey and Susie, and
the widow. Mrs. Lewis went to Cal
ifornia some weeks ago to join her
husband, and with Harvey, was with
him at the time of his death.

SEN. MYERS TO CAMPAIGN
FOR RIDDICK, SAYS CALI

The Great Falls Call is authority
for the statement that United States
Senator Henry L. Myers will come to
Montana in the not too distant future
to make campaign in behalf of Carl
Riddick for the United States Senate,
in preference to Burton K. Wheeler,
who stole the democrat party ard7 de-
livered it over to Townley and his
crowd two years ago
There is no question but what Sem
ator Myers is still the leader Of the
old line democrats in Montana, and
should the Calls information be cor
rect, and should he take the stump for
Riddick, there is little doubt but what
he would throw big democratic vote
to the republican candidate.

City Pumping Situation
Big Problem for Dads

A short special meeting of the city
council was held last Thursday even
ing for the purpose of considering
matters arising in connection with the
pump at the city water works. A test
conducted a week ago Sunday proved
that the pump is showing the affects
of old age and is only doing half the
work it should at double the normal
cost, and with possibility of it lay
ing down on the job at any time and
refusing to perform the task it has
handled continuously for nine years =
With these facts facing the council
they realized that in order to assure
the city Of an ample supply Of water
and fire protection, immediate steps
must be taken to replace the pump.
Salt Lake concern was wired Mon
day requesting the present cost Of IN
staliing similar pump. The reply
staggered the financial committee
bl100, but single ray of hope was IN
,iuded I'm the reply, suggestion that
1 pump Of another make and costing
,rIv about half the amount be sub
Itituted. Tuesday Mayor Millard and
Carlson and Hackshaw went
nto the Falls to learn what could be
lone IN there IN the way Of pump.
While they found different concerns
eady to give any assistance they
ouId, nothing that will fully meet the
equiremsnts could be found. The
natter viii continue 10 receive a,ten-
'on until the problem is solved. Y

Fifty Fifty for Progress

The big obvious need of this
country today is psychological
the disposition to go ahead. We
have here a vast ability to produce
and a vast ability to consume the
products of indsutsy. Potentially,
Supply and Demand are pretty
well matched. The main trouble is
that the people don't. demand
enough things to justify industry in
pdoings it's utmost to produce.
The result is that great amount
Of energy is being spent on trying
to get a lions share Of the existing
demand, and not enough is spent
on trying to create the demand so
there will be enough to keep every
body busy supplying it.

seventies Of the hast century. He is
a man Of modern thought and edu-
cation and an accomplished painter
whose, works were exhibited at the
Paris salon. :.s., : .: 4,>tsE,.> &.1 :, q. .
The new Calpih is about fifty
years old. and speaks English, French
and German fluently. He had his
son, Prince 0mer Faruk, educated in
Europe, and his principal hobby is
painting. He is not only an accom-
plished artist, but the interest his
worksa rouse ins the observer Is en-
CHANGED blythe fact that hetsubjects
Of his paintings are invariably con-
nected with Oriental life.
The palace he occupied up to his
recent election as Caliph, is q dream
of Oriental art and splendor. Unlike
many of his fellow countrymen, Alb
dull Medjid refrained from filling his
home with furniture and objects OF
European patter trying to saow that
Oriental art Of interior decoration is
aelf-sufficient- The carved tables
and chairs, the mosaiques, the rugs,
in fact every article in his palace is
of Oriental make.
On the other hand, the new Sultan
is trying to show by his acts that he
recognizes the Importance of West
ern habits and reforms. He is the
first Turkish ruler who has no harem
having only one, wife like an 'ordi-
nary mortal of the Wetern world.
When he received me on the eve |
Of my departure from Constanti
ncple,, he had me shown around in
his palace, and after a converation
of almost two hours about art and
politics, he introduced me to his son,
Prince Omer Faruk,' and his little
granddaughter, Princess Nesslishah
Sultan. Carrying the little girl on his
arm, he asked her to make a deep
Turkish salute to me. THE little
princess, obeying her grandfather,
made deep bow to probably the
first Western visitor she had ever
met.
