On R.R. Building
While Nothing Authentic Has Been
Given Out, Rumors Continue to
"Listen Good"

Railroad talk about the construction
of the Great Northern railway through
here continues to be the popular pass
time, and of course to the thousands
of residents throughout this section,
is very vital topic to discuss. So far
nothing real authentic has been given
out but there are lots of rumors that
sound reasonable. At any rate rail
road news is encouraging to the many
who have gone through the pioneering
stage these last ten or fifteen years
and it is sincerely hoped that the
line will actually be constructed this
year.
Following is a couple late press
cOmmentS.
'In corroboration of the statement
from the Melstone Messenger regard
ing the plan of the Great Northern to
complete the construction of its cut
off from Lewistown to Richey, in the
extreme northwestern part of Daw-
son county this year, it may be stated
that the company yesterday rented
quarters on the third floor of the Mon
tana building, and Y. H. HERMAN
and r. G. Herman, representing the
company, will be installed in these
offices today. That, in itself, is OF
course most significant, for while the
gentlemen have given out no informa-
tion whatever in regard to the mean
ing of this, or the company's further
plans, other developments have taken
n1aon in thp last % hours that can
only be interpreted as meaning that
the Great Northern is going to build.
This is the most important news
affecting the welfare of Lewistown
that has come to light in some time
That completion of the great cutoff
from this city to New Rockfard, North
Dakota, will be the realization of big
dream that will bring more growth
and solid prosperity to Lewistown
than almost anything else within the
realm of probability. .-Lewstown Dem

Film DIRECTORS WIN FAME
EARLY
Some of the Most Successful of Them
Are Well Under 35 Years

Motion picture directors as a class
are remarkably young, especially so
when one considers the importance of
their work. A glance over the bio
graphical records of Gold wyn direc-
tors shows that forty is the high
water mark. Reginald Barker and
Frank Lloyd, featured directors, are
only 35 and 80 respectively. Alfred
Green is the youngest, with only %
years behind him. Victor Schertzinger
is only 81. Paul Bern, Goldwyn's new
est director, is 80. Wallace Worsley,
Mason Litson and Clrence Badger
are no.

DARK RIG FACTOR
FATAL COLLISION.
ROAD ACCID EMIT DEMONS.
TRATES SAFETY DEMAND
FOR LIGHTS ON ALL
VEHICLES.

A 14-year-old girl was killed and
her father, Sam Braaten, was badly
hurt on a road near Faribault on a
recent night when their buggy with
out lights was stuck by an automo-
bile. Faribault people recalled the
warning given by Charles M. Bah
cock, state highway commissioner,
at a local road meeting shortly be-
fore, that safety requires lights on
all vehicles on the roads at night.
The commissioner predicted that
the next legislature will pass law
compelling all vehicles on the high
ways after dark to carry lights. He
said the great majority of farmers
and others using horse-drawn rigs
now realize that such precaution
is positively necessary for their own
safety and that of others.
AS lightless rigs on the roads after
dark become less numerous, how
ever, the menace from those re-
naming is increased, it was pointed
out.

RED CROSS MEMBERSHIP
DRIVE NOW IN FULL SWING

The Annual Roll Call of the Red
Cross is in full swing throughout the
country and the Ely Chapter is
busy this week the same as other
chapters throughout the United
States. The membership drive is
being conducted in very complete
manner and it is the hopes that
when finished the enrolment will
top any heretofore. The work of
the Red Cross in the devastated
japanese districts and in districts
of this country where disaster has
overtaken the people has attracted
the attention of the world to the

GRAVEL ROADS ARE
FAILING IN WISCONSIN.

A study of this years highway
traffic and highway conditions brings
out in an outstanding way that on
the main arteries of the state gravel
surfacing is not giving adequate SER
vice, says the official journal of the
Wisconsin Good Roads association.
The gravel road surfacing on such
main arteries as 10 and II are not
in as good condition as last year or
the year before. The surface is
quickly worn off by the heavy traf-
fic and becomes rough and uneven.
Thousands of people can testify to
this fact.
Highway engineers have foreseen
this condition impending, continues
the Wisconsin publication. As has
often been said, road is much like
a motor truck. You cannot put a
lotion load on 5-ton truck. With
the tremendous increase in traffic we
are attempting metaphorically speak

CLUB ROOMS.

You don't believe in ghosts?
Neither did the Legion until week
ago. But have you noticed the
fondness they have developed fol-
their home fireside?
If you have, you will be forced to
agree that something must be the
matter with the club rooms. The
fact of the matter is they are
haunted.
To make a bad matter worse,
these nocturnal visitors don't wait
until the mystic hour of eleven.
Every night about 1880 they may be
seen fitting about here and there,
and emitting the most unusual
sounds. Members of the order are
branding themselves as the most
courageous of all mankind to return
to the club rooms at all.

threw personal safety to the winds
and boldly accosted the CHASTITY trio

been the case down through the
ages, true valor has been rewarded
