Mrs. Hansen

Mrs. Gertie Hansen, the pleasant
faced old lady who has lived so many
years among us in the httle house
next to Misean 5, died early this week
of pneumonia after an illness of short
duration.
She was a native of Denmark, about
rs years of age, and came to this sec.
ton with her husband, Peter Hansen
some twenty-five years ago.
They homesteaded at the head OF
Willow Creek.
Mr.. Hansen may be remembered
because of the fact that he was q
trained forester and assisted in the
planting of many trees and shrubs in
and around Belt.
He was killed about IL years ago by
a sack of wool which rolled off wag-
on on him. Afterward Mrs. Hansen
moved 10 Belt, where she has since
lived.
So far as known there are no living
relatives.
The funeral will be held from Peter
sons chapel on Friday afternoon at 2

The closing Of the flour manufac-
turing business is only temporary
matter, it being the intention Of the
company to install machinery of an
improved type and reopen the mill
equipped to manufacture flour Of the
best quality as soon as business con-
ditions warrant it.
The mill will then be able not only
to supply the local market with flour
but will also be able to compete in the
open markets for outside business.
1t is none of our business whether
the owners have made money or not
though we believe that they have been
successful in showing net gain each
year. There should be no feeling OF
jealousy or apprehension on the part
Of other farmers because Of their sue
cess, but rather it behooves every
wheat raiser in this vicinity to give
them generous patronage because
they have furnished the competition
and have taken the marketing risks
which have guaranteed to the farmer
an equitable price for his grain.

The Wright Brothers managed the
mill and elevator business until 1921
Farmers in this vicinity took the
rest of the stock and have since con-
tinued to own and operate it. In 1921
they bought the stock of the Wright
brothers and since that time the own

ness has rested entirely in the hands
of farmers in this community.
A concrete mill Of generous proper
tions was built south of the elevator
and contiguous to the Great Northern
tracks where "Beltana" and "Our

tured for the market.
When the dry years struck this
country and the supply of wheat avail
able was unsuitable and scanty for

The following article taken from
the Great Falls Tribune explains the
plan of the district basketball tourna-
ment and gives some idea Of the COM
parative strength of the teams:
Coach M l.. Crouch of the high
school has made plans to accommo-
date 16 teams in the north central
basketball district of the district tour
nament to be held in Great Falls on
February 22-24. 1t is not guaranteed
that this many teams win compete,
but it is very likely since almost all
in the district are of high caliber this
year and interest IN the annual COM
petition has already grown quite keen.
AS to the teams in the district
that have been watched with interest
by fans in Great Falls, those who
have been following the local team
know its fate against Fort Benton =
few weeks ago when the river quint
came down and beat the Blue and
White by an IS 10 12 score. They
also remember the smooth working
team play that Benton brought along.
