stated that many ranchers barely
escaped with their lives when the
water came down Saturday night.
On his own ranch on Powder river,
he said, the occupants escaped to
high ground by wading in water five
feet deep.
Powder river is rapidly %receding,
although vast sections still are I'M
der water.
The wreckage from Sheridan's
second flood was being cleared away
Tuesday. Both Little and Big Goose
creeks have returned to their banks
and clearing skies with forecasts for
fair weather have brought an end
to danger of additional high water.
The flood district is a sea of mud
and debris. The wood paving blocks
on North Main street and Broadway
have been carried away by the
foods. The city street department
made frantic effort to round up the
blocks today but it was a hopeless
task.
Train service still is paralyzed.
Burlington officials estimated tempo
rary repairs to the wagon bridge
across Powder river would be com
pleted in three days so that stranded
could be transferred.

Mr.. Whitright ventured no reply
but obediently wrote the name of his
wife.
The court questioned Erwin Brack-
en-. who in signing his name twice
had spelled it"en"once and once "in''
which presumably were the two spell
ings used on the card and poll book.
He stated to the court that he some
times spelled it with an sc" and
| sometimes with an 81. Some of
the other witnesses who testified and
signed were Margaret E. Dolly,
Mamie DuPree and Mary Heddrick.
Lizzie Smith was questioned at
length as to the voting and signing
of jeanette Boyd. A member of the
election board in precinct 20 named
Forrest testified to signing in the
poll book the names of a number of
absent voters under the impression
that that was what the law required
him to do.
The vote of Iva NJ. Gray was the
subject of careful investigation
through the testimony of E. E. Cor
nelius. Geo. E. Bows testified con-
corning the residence of H. c. Cron-
lin. H. A. Morley, deputy clerk of
court. also testified concerning Cron-
Inns residence.
Looks Like a Standoff +.
The number of illegal votes
charged up to each town of course
cannot be known until Judge For-
kan's decision is rendered, but to OBJ
servers who have kept careful check
it looks like just about a standoff.
The matter Of impers, nations has
not been gone into very thoroughly
by Wolf Points attorneys fer lack
of time and it is probable that many
more might have been brought to
light.
Hospitality
An incident that happened after
the close of the evening session of
court held Wednesday illustrates the
of mind and attitude of certain
Poplarites who are to the reporter
unknown.
Immediately after the close of the
session., a group of Wolf Pointers
we're standing in the front of the
Gateway hotel discussing the events
If the evening. when they were sud
fenly treated to a cold shower bath
rom above, just as free as the enter
,ainment, the speeches and the re-
'reshments at the Poplar campaign
meetings. The group stepped aside,
md someone inquired toward the up
Der floor window if they didn't have
hot water in the hotel. The re-
;ponse was another dose of water,
bout a pailful, this time, but it
missed the mark by a small margin.
Yes, they are not at all good natured
ince Hurd began to pry into the
side.

that was a part of their campaign
literature. Witness was also shown
a copy Of the Poplar Standard con-
tanning an extended argument in
favor of this so-called free court
house. Mr.. Kelly recognized both
the circular and the newspaper as
Poplar campaign literature.
Large Fund Disappears
G. L. Smith, treasurer of the COM
mittee could not be placed on the
stand as he is absent from the city
and has been for some time. c. E.
! Cunningham, a teller in the Traders
State Bank, could not remember OF
cashing the checks or orders which
DR.. Harris had testified he issued on
Treasurer Smith for various items
for campaign expense, so while a
large fund was identified and traced
into the bank, it seemingly disap-
peared right there. Mr.. Cunning
ham testified to a fund having been
raised Immediately after election
for use in contesting the election and
recalled cashing checks issued
against it. A meeting had been held
Nov. 8, 1922, at which there had
been a report of a deficit in the cam
paign fund. A plan was formed for
raising a new fund and a committee
appointed to wire three different
law firms with a view to retaining

Hands Not Clean
This investigation into Poplar's
campaign methods and the legality
of many of it's votes was of course
for the purpose of showing that in
bringing this contest of the election
they did not come into court with
clean hands. The evidence of Mr..
Cunningham was the last effort by
the defense.
Since Wednesday afternoon the
attorneys for the plaintiff have been
putting on witnesses in an effort to
the showing of impersona-
lions and this has resulted in some
spicy pages for the record of
the case. The same process has been
through many times without
great variation. Mr.. Bangs puts on
a witness who testifies he acknowl-
edges the signatures on the reglstra-
ton card and the poll book. Then
Hurd takes the witness for a careful
questioning and concludes by
recurring him to sign his name on a
sheet of paper twice, once as he did
On the card and once as he did on
5he poll book. Of course the spec
.ators did not have the opportunity
If inspecting these signatures or
comparing them with the writing on
The cards and books, but it could be
observed that some signatures elicit
ed smiles from the attorneys and
held the earnest attention of the
court, who sometimes took a hand

case, that of VIM. M. Whitright,
Judge Horkan called the witness
pack after he had left the stand and
requested him to write the name OF

IMPROVEMENT CAN LAST
SAYS BABSON

Wellesley Hills, Mass. January 10,
1923.-Roger w. Babson today issued
the following statement in which he
further discusses the points that ar
oused greatest interest in his "Out-
look for 1923" which appeared in
these columns on January 1st:--
whatever 1928 brings forth it is
starting out exceedingly well. AS
explained last week, statistically
business is now in a better position
than it has been since October 1920.
Taking all sections of the country
and all lines Of business, the Bah
sonchart is practically normal to-
day. This compares with minus Fl
per cent year ago, and minus 13
per cent two years ago" says Mr..
Babson.
"Of course, the Improvement has
been so rapid during the past few
weeks that it probably cannot hold
up during the entire year of 1928.
However, most lines Of business are
doing well today and we should make
the best of this opportunity. Those
who are not in lines which are i'm
proving should get busy and find out
why. Certainly the ultimate con-
cumers Of most goods are today in
position to buy in reasonable quanti-
ties. Every businessman should be
doing business with them and shar-
ing their prosperity.
"The farmers are feeling BETTER
continued the Statistician, ethan they
have for some years. The value in
money Of the crops just harvested is
over 80 per cent greater than the
value Of the previous crop. The
banking situation in the farming Sec
tions is liquidating. Failures are
running only 400 week compared
with 500 or 600 a year ago. My
records from the mail order houses
show that December has again been
q record month, and that most farm
ers' families had a sumptuous Christ
mas. This applies not only to the
grain sections Of the West, but most
cotton sections of the South. Condi-
tions in Texas are better than they
have been for some time. Since the
textile workers have returned, the
cotton mills are very busy. Cotton
should remain firm until we know
something about next years crop.
1.-THE iron and steel industry is in
better condition than it has been
for three years. Pittsburgh had a
prosperous Christmas. Most plants
are working 80 per cent of their capa-
city and the demand for this time
Of year for their products is ex-
ceptionally good Ordinarily many
steel plants close down this season
but there is little chance of it at
present. Most railroads are buying
locomotives, cars, rails, and other
track material. Building, which is

NOTICE OF ASSESSMENT ROLLS

Notice is hereby given that the real
and personal property tax rolls for
the year 1922, have been delivered
to the county treasurer for collection
on and after Monday, February 9Th,

! tinues to be active, and the demand
| for brick, lumber, and hardware is
greater than ever before at this sea-
son. The demand for copper is IN
creasing and l would not be surpris-
ed to see higher prices during the
next few months. The coal indus
try continues to boom, and SO long
as the present cold weather continues
there should be no let-up in the pro-
ducing end of the industry. Ger
| tain sections Of the country, however,
which have been suffering for lack OF
coal should soon get plenty. Coal
prices should be lower in 1928 than
| in 1922.
"Foreign trade is holding up bet
! ter than most people anticipated.
Various reasons exist for this, but
the principal one is the renewed IN
terest which President Harding is
taking in foreign affairs. The state
ment last week by Senator Borah
should be beneficial to the foreign
trade situation. Export business is
dependent upon confidence. Nothing
will help so much to restore our for
eign trade as a feeling that Europe
| is to be kept from bankruptcy. My
financial friends have been very pes
simistic over the European situation
during the past few months. Reports
which l have received this week in
regard to Europe seem brighter and
| more hopeful.
There is even a brighter side to
the labor situation as we begin the
New Year. Although most employers
believe that labor is too high and
many feel that it is becoming inef-
ficient, the fact remains that strikes
are fewer. There has not been a
January for many years with so few
strikes. Apparently both capital and
labor got good scare during the
railroad strike, certainly they both
lost. AS a result, both sides have
since counted ten before pulling off
strike or lockout. There is much
talk about changing the immigration
laws to relieve the situation. 1t,
however, will take more than chang
| ing the quota of immigration. The
fundamental difficulty with the skill
ed labor situation is that the war
killed, crippled, and shocked great
mass of workers. We complain that
men are anxious to be clerks instead
of plasterers, but the real truth is
that the physical conditions Of wage
workers has, thru war and other
causes, so deteriorated them that
only small proportion Of the men
have, today, the physical endurance
to do hard manual work.
at, therefore, will be seen that we
|-are starting the year under very
happy circumstances. The Babson-
chart this week registers minus 3 per
cent. Our job during 1923 will not
be to open the throttle wider but to
hold the prosperity which we have
today. This is the task before US.
To this end we must work. This
means" concluded Mr.. Babson "that
we must substitute service for greed,
thrift for Incidence, efficiency for
inefficiency, and an honest desire to
give dollar Of service and material
for every dollar that we get. If
we do this our present good condi-
tions could continue thru 1928; but
if we again get careless business will
again quickly fall off, because these
better conditions cannot continue
without strong and broad founda-
ton on which to build and grow"

EDllOR1AL ANNOUNCEMENT
 Alter Saturday June the second the, News. will devote its entire space to the recording of local news.
 We are making arrangements to se- cure correspondents in the different districts'where we have 2 subscribers, and will thus be enabled to secure about a column aweek from each camp.
 Alter mature consideration we are convinced that the majority of our subscribers will welcome this change, and othat all of our patrons will coun.
 In the past we have been able to give world wide events only limited space, and this practice has been un- satisfactory both our readers and our. selves. Nearly everyone subscribes to daily that handles world wide news, and is equipped to give it the proper writeup.
 It would therefore seem that our best bet would be to chronicle the local affairs exclusively, SO hereafter we will do our best along that line:
 Anyhow, most people are more in terested in, what their neighbors are do ing than in whether some diplomat has gone dippyi whether Lenine is ly. ing at death door; or whether some king was cleaned at blackjack. ts
