PLENTYWOOD BUILD
ING BOOM CONTINUES

The Plentywood Building Boom
seems to be growing every day.
The G. G. johnson residence is I'M
der way, workmen being engaged in
the excavation of the cellar when the
foundation will be put in and the
building rushed to completion.
The work of clearing away the de-
bris of the lots left by the fire in jan
uary, is nearing completion when the
excavation will be commenced of the
Fishbect, Riba, Plentywood State
Bank building preparatory to the
starting of the wall of present plans
do not fail.
And it is further reported and con-
frmed by jim Popesku that that gen
tleman has bought a lot north of the
one bought by G. c. Johnson and will
build four thousand dollar home
thereon. In fact Popesku is now
studying plans preparatory to letting
the contract.
Besides this considerable improve
ment work on buildings is being plan
ned in the way Of putting on porches,
adding wings and putting in base
ments, for the coming summer.

doubted the motives and good faith of
the Egyptian queen. He replied to
her overtures:
''The son of your lord (the king)
where is he? Have you deceived me ?
The general of the army (Horemheb)
has not nominated my son to the king
ship"
The queen thereupon rejoined:
"What is this you say? l have de-
ceived you? If l had son and my
people a ruler, l would not have
sought the hand of a man from an
other country. No one has had chill
dren by me. I have no son. Give me
one of your sons as my husband and
he shall be king of the land of Egypt
The document shows that the royal
romance was almost completed by the
king of the Hittites giving the fan
sutton one of his sons; but just as the
marriage was about to be celebrated
King Az seized the throne Of Egypt
and the queen was banished.
Present history and archaeology
show no trace of Queen Ankhsamen
She seems to have entirely disappear
ed from view after King Ay usurpeC
the throne.
The Hittite narrative, American ar
chacologists say, makes it extremel!
unlikely, they add, that the body O
Queen Ankhasamen will be found IL
the royal metropolis.

WOLF HUNTER CLAIMS RECORD

Bismarck, N. D., April 16.-The
worlds record as a wolf and coyote
hunter is claimed by Adam Lesmeister
of Harvey, Pierce county, who IN the
last rs years has slain nearly 9OOO
of these animals in Forth and South
Dakota.
Leismeister's kills, which total 8,5Ol
wolves and coyotes since 1898 include
mostly coyotes taken on the Dakota
prairies. He has receipts to show
that during the 25 years he has col
lected $24,612.5O in bounties IN two
states, more than $4,000 coming from
North Dakota. In addition ne has
been hired especially to kill the preda-
tory animals by numerous ranchers.

PLENTYWOOD
SANS MAYOR
F. E. BELANSKI FAILS TO QUAIL
IFY DURING PERIOD ALLOWED
BY LAW-COUNCIL WILL AP-
POINT SUCCESSOR.

Pentvwood seems to be sans mayor.
One was duly elected on Monday,
April second at the regular municipal
electios in the person of E. E. Belan-
ski by a majority of 81 votes over AL
bert HOLMAN in a holly contested
election, but it seems that he,does not
want either the office or the honor for
he has not qualified during the time
allowed for that act by the law of the
state which provides that he must
qualify within twelve days after the
election or the office becomes lpso
facto vacant.
Soon after the election it was dis
covered that Judge Belansk could not
qualify because he was ont a free
holder in the city, the law requiring
the mavor to be a freeholder in the
citv in order to hold the Office. Then
there was some talk of a contest but
this died down when it was discover
ed that Albert Holman the defeated
candidate was in the same boat, when
people lost interest entirely.
Some of the legal lights thought
that BelansEi could buy a lot before he
took mis- oath and thus legally qualify,
by being freeholder at the time he
took office. However the mayor elect
did not seem to think the office worth
the trouble and failed to qualify with
in the time law requires.
Fred Grave will retain the Office of
mayor until the next meeting of the
city council when that august body
will organize for the ensuing two year
term and appoint a mayor and a may
or pro tenn. No one has the least
idea al the present time who will be
appointed to succeed Mayor Grave.

that while King Tutenkhamen's body
was still upon its bier awaiting burial,
his 27-year-old wife dispatched an

CLOSED INCIDENT

Moscow, April 1.-The EXECUTION OF
Vicar General Bucthkavitch appears
to be a closed incident so far as the
Russian government is concerned.
From Catholic sources it is learned
that no reply has been made by the
government to the request of the
Roman Catholics of Moscow for per
mission to bury vicar general in ac-
cordance with the rites of the church.
Beyond a resolution adopted by the
Kharkov Polish worlumen approving
the executin, no mention of the affair
is made by the Moscow press.

SIDNEY MAN NETS
Sl,lS4.75 FEEDING
CORN TO LAMBS
Remarkable Demonstration of What
Can be Done on Montana Farms as
a Result of Corn Raising.

Sidney, April 18.-Seven hundred
and seven lambs fed on corn supple
mented with alfalfa pasture and ma
tive grass Melted Augustus Vaux Of
Sidney S1,18475 in a little more than
six weeks, according to figures pub
ished by Mr.. Vaux in the current bull
letin of the Montana Development As
sociation. Mr.. VauX, prominent bu-
siness man and farmer of eastern
Montana and one of the directors of
the Montana State Fair, purchased
the lambs and his profit represents
the net gain on his feeding operations
after all expenses had been deducted.
On September 10, 1922, he purchas-
ed 707 lambs which were loaded in
cars early that morning and shipped
55m lies, and averaged 6812 lbs,
when weighed at p. m. of the same
day, without having been fed or wat
cred from the evening before. These
lambs were of uniform size and were
turned on native grass, sweet clover
along the creek bottom, about 40
acres of alfalfa that averaged to 6
inches in height, and 16 acres of Tri-
umph Flint and Minnesota 10 Dent
corn, all of which had matured and
the fodder nearly dry.
These lambs were brought in Octo-
Der &c, 1922, weighed at 10 o'clock
after being off feed for two hours,
and averaged 8112 lbs. On October
29th they we're shipped to Chicago
and put on feed at Montgomery, ILL.,,

cost, together with other expenses

combined. They are a cheerful com
pany in which color and lustrous sur
faces combine to make brilliant mil
linery. There are two all-black hats
among them, but all-black in cleaning
materials that cannot be somber.
One Of these appears at the top of
the group in which taffeta is laid over
a braid body, and decorated with braid
stitched over it. Two loops of hand
some mOire ribbon fall over the brim.
The little poke shape at the right is
made Of taffeta also, in blue and tan,
changeable weave, with silk flowers re-
peating these cOlors.
A lovely wide brimmed hat. at the
left, is Of tagel braid-its crown COW
cred with figured silk in many strong,
rich colors, repeated in the border of
narrow ribbons that edge the under
brim. A large cluster Of grapes, that
take up these colors and repeat them
in other tones, serves for trimming.
Another Interpretation Of the poke
shape Is shown made Of novelty cloth
in bright red with applique in black
lacquered foliage finished with black
ribbon and ends. Finally a smart
little draped shape of a lustrous fab
ric supports two long ostrich quilts.
