"THE VALLEY OF SILENT
MEN" HERE TWO DAYS

Frank Borzage, the celebrated di-
rector of Cosmopolitan Productions
went with his entire company to the
Canadian Rockies, where he filmed
James Oliver Curwood's famous
story, "The Valley of Silent Men,"
amid the scenes which the author de-
scribed so vividly in his novel.
Of course, this romance of the
northern wilds which comes to the
Liberty theatre next Monday and
Tuesday, is striking contrast to the
crowned East Side, the bright lights
of Broadway shown in "Back Pay"
or the humors of Get-Rich-Quick-
Wallingford, which Mr.. Borzage
also made for the Cosmopolitan Pro-
ductions.
With Cosmopolitan cast headed
by Alma Rubens, as the French-Ca-
madam heroine of the Curwood story,
and with Lew Cody as the heroic cor

COUNTY BOARD in ROLE
OF MERRY SAINT NICK

The board of county commission
. ers assumed the role of Santa Claus
at their meeting this week when they
handed out the county printing con-
tract, without calling for bids, to
their old friend, Jerome of the Poplar
Standard, thus making it possible for
him to remain in California little
longer this winter. The contract was
let for two years.
This is the third consecutive time
that this contract has been forced
upon the Standard at the expense of
the taxpayers. We are not saying
that the Standard is exhorbant in its
charges but it is our belief that the
interests of the taxpayers would be
best served if this contract was let
by bids the same as other contracts
are.
The matter came up Tuesday morn
ing, there being two bids, the Wolf
Point Herald having the audacity to
present bid, and that of the Poplar
Standard. Commissioner Lesson
made motion that the bids be not
considered at that time and call be
issued for bids and the contract be
awarded to the lowest responsible
bidder. In this he was overruled by
the other two members of the board
and the contract was handed to the
Standard on a silver platter Balm
vile Tribune.

poral of the Royal Mounted Police
Mr.. Borzage spent twelve weeks il
the Canadian Rockies. From Baniff
Alberta, they followed the trail OF
the story to the veritable ''Valley OF
Silent Men" which Mr. Curwood de-
scribed so realistically. They lived
in log cabins, camped with the
Stoney tribe of Indians-some of
whom Mr. Borzage enlisted in the
company and shot the rapids of the
Kipewa river.
They climbed the snow-clad peaks
and skidded over the glaciers of the
Canadian Rockies. No city-bred di-
rector could have overcome the OBJ
stacles which faced Frank Borzage
on every hand. He is an American
born, and was reared among the
Possibly his nativity
helped him to realize the Curwood
story on the screen in the spirit and
amid the scenes In which the author
wrote it.

Wolf Point Wins In First Round
Poplar Forced to Prove Allegations

the attorneys could confer out of

things alleged in the complaint. The
attorneys were agreeable to the sug-
gestion and an adjournment was
taken for that purpose.

minutes and Judge Green announced
that the attorneys would require the
remainder of time for their work and
court would adjourn until Thursday
morning at $50.
Thursday

regular session of district court
He said that if the present court
should rule that the burden was on
the plaintiff to furnish proof of the
allegations they would do the best
they could but would frankly admit
they were not prepared on all ale
cations. He cited law and cases
from other states at considerable
length and the Medicine Lake-Plenty-
wood case. was frequently referred
to.
Reviews the Facts
Mr. Hurd in reply said he was un-
able to follow the reasoning of plain
tiff's counsel. He called attention to
the fact that POOP electors had voted
for Wolf Point and 1910 for Poplar.
That, after being ordered by the su-
preme court, the board of canvas
sers had so found the result and de-
clared Wolf Point to be the county
seat and that it was now the actual
county seat of Roosevelt county. He
said that while he was not raising the
point, he seriously doubted the right
of the court to sit at Poplar. That
it was remarkable that the plaintiff
having filed a complaint on Dec. 8,
IL days ago, filed with long list
of allegations, and made affidavit that
he knew them to be true of his own
knowledge, his counsel should come
into court and admit they were not
prepard to furnish the proof. 1t ap-
peared to him that fraud had been
practiced on Judge Conner to secure
the temporary injunction. He said
the defense was prepared with wit
nesses to uphold their side of the |
case and had expected the plaintiff |
would be prepared to attempt to prove
,hese allegations that had been sworn
o as true. Mr.. Hurd cited Montana
aw and precedents at length in sup
,ort of his argumnt.

injunction case was won by Wolf
Point. 1t was in the form of a rul-
ing by the court on an important
point of law after debate of nearly
two hours between the opposing at
torneys.
In granting Poplar a restraining
order that temporarily holds the
county offices there, Judge C. E.
Conner set the hearing on the ques-
tion of making the order permanent,
pending trial of the contest, for De-
cember goth, and called on Judge
John ]. Green of Choteau county to
occupy the bench.
Late trains prevented court from
convening until two o'clock D. M.
and at that hour the court room was
well filled by an eagerly expectant
audience. Attorneys George E. Hurd
and Otis A. Hallett of Norris, Hurd
Rhoades & Hallett of Great Falls and
Glasgow were present representing

over points of law that was pretty

Mrs. Margaret Brown, mother of
Mrs. Roy Conrad, passed away at the
Conrad home in this city Saturday
evening after brief illness. Mrs.

before death came. Intestinal pneu-
monia was given as the immediate
cause of death.
Mrs. Brown was 54 years old and
had lived one of those beautiful chris
tian lives that endeared her to all
with whom she came in contact. She
was an ardent worker in the Metho-
dist church.
Mr.. and Mrs. Conrad accompanied
the remains to Wysox, Pa, where
the venerable lady was buried in the

Williams Will Make More Than 40 Homers
 Unless He Weakens

St. Louis, June 24-Kenneth Will Hams. St. Louis Browns slugser will have more than 40 home runs to his credit at the end of the season if he maintains the present average of two a week.
 Williams has made 1s homers so far-nine weeks after the season opened-and if he continues to garner his pair of long hits each week for the remaining 12 weeks of the sched- ule. he will add 24, which would make his grand total 42. IT less than the record breaking total of 5s collected by Babe Ruth last year.
 Two weeks ago Williams suffered one of the heaviest batting slumps ever experienced by player. His batting average declined more than 150 points to below 300 and 1t was wondered whether he was running himself as a hitter by trying to run up large number of home runs. This question has been disproved by sta- tistics which show that during the past two weeksIhe has regained his batting eye. and has hit the ball at an average of well over 400.

 Military Academy

Gulfport, June 4Ss--(Special.)-- With the announcement that Coach T. L.

Gaddys four years as a star player on some. of the best teams Mississippi A. and M ever sen out. his service in the army overseas during the World war, and his superb record as coach In Mis- sissippi high schools would indicate that the academy has chosen man who will succeed as teacher of boys and as coach of football. bas- ketball and track teams.
 For four successive ysk.s Gaddy was brilliant member of the var slty teams in football, basketball and track at A. and M. record not oft en made. At the end of one season his consistent playing gained him the distinction of being chosen as all- southern end. Gaddy and the famous Don Scott, one of the greatest track men the south ever produced, were teammates for four years. Scott is now a captain in the United States army and 8 polo player of distinc- tion. Soon after his graduation Coach Gaddy was commi ssioned second lieutendant in the regular army. Later he was sent overseas and promoted to the grade of cap tain, serving as commander of the Regimental Machine Gun company of the Sixty fourth infantry of the Sev- enth division. Six feet tall. weigh ing 220 pounds. with pleasing per- sonality and a decided ability to lead boys, this man may be depended on to send forth strong teams in foot ball. basketball and track.
 At a later date the schedule for next year in football will be an- nounced. At this time it may be said that plans are under way, which will probably result in a number of the strongest teams in the south be- ing given place on the schedule of Gulf Coast. The athletic field un- der the direction of Coach Gaddy had heen greatly improved. adequate quarters for the athletic teams are being constructed, and when school opens on September 14, atheletes here will begin under very favorable conditions.
