HE fought back the instinct to
vi scream out her story from the
- doorway. At the bidding of an
instinct so sure and true that it par
took of a quality of infallibility, she
checked her wild pace before she
crossed the threshold. Everything de-
pended on Ned and the cool, strong
quality of Ned's nerves. She caught
her breath in a curious deep gasp,
then stepped into the room.
Then that gasp became very nearly
2 sob. The way of deliverance was
not clear. A wrinkled native wom-
an, an Aleut or an Eskimo, who
was evidently Doomsdorf's wife
looked up at her with dark inscrut-
able eyes from the opposite side of
the room.
The whole picture went home to
Bess in a glance. Lenore was hud-
died in chair before the stove,
yielding herself to the blessed
warmth, already shaking off the
semi-apathy induced by the nights
chill. But as yet there was no hope
in her. She was shivering, helpless.
impotent. Ned bent over her, his
arms about her, now and then giving
her sips from a sup of hot liquid
that he held in his hand. His care,
his tender solicitude. struck Bess
with a sense of unutterable irony.
Evidently he had no suspicion of the
real truth.

Sue Ettien
Passes Away

Miss Sue Ettien, former teacher of
the Spring Creek school in this dis
trict, died recently at her home in AL
berton. The cause of her death is not
known, but presumably it was tuber-
culosis Of which she was afraid. Miss
Ettien was considered to be wonder
full teacher and the display of hand
and industrial work in her school
room was such as to draw words Of
approval from every teacher who saw
it and admiring comments from all
others. The Belt normal girls were
always required to visit this school
as a splendid example Of what a rural
teacher can do. The beauty of it was
that you could sit there and watch the
children do the work and the skeptical
who doubted that the children had ac-
tually themselves made the objects on
display were speedily convinced. The
children who were trained by Miss
Ettien will always have greater fac
ility in hand work because of her
teaching and will be able the better
to coordinate mental and physical
processes because of her exceptional
ability. She was a niece of Mrs. Tom
Oakland of Great Falls.

Powers Cop
League Rag

The Montana Powers defeated the
Miners in the game which decided the
championship by q score of Q to /.
Rachac pitched for the Miners but
the Powers had In the box port side
artist from Butte by the name Of Nc
liver who delivered the goods in Big
League fashion. The result Of this
game was to tie the Miners and Smell
ters for second place in the league.
On Monday night a game was play
ed in Great Falls to settle the tie but
with no results as the game was
called at the end Of the sixth inning
when the score stood to 2. The
Woodmen are in fourth place while
Belt has cinch on fifth.
The league has served at least one
useful purpose from local stand
point. 1t has given the men some
thing to talk about during long sum-
mer when crop conditions were none
too promising. 1t has demonstrated
the fact that Belt can keep a ball
team in the field. IL has given base
ball an impetus among the kids which
will produce crop Of ball players in
the next few years. 1t has helped TO
draw the community together and to
hold them there.
Already the question is being asked,
"Shall we have team in the league
next year," II may be early to say.
but we believe that the consensus of
opinion is that we shall get more
sport out Of a seasons baseball than
we could possibly get in any other
way.

Alf Johnson Hurt

Saturday morning about 1890 as
Alfred johnson was riding the motor
out with a trip in the Merkle mine the
motor jumped the track and All was
thrown headlong toward switch
standard which seemed to him to be
coming to meet him. He threw up his
arm to protect his face and in doing
so his right hand struck in such way
as to tear the tendons loose at the
wrist and disIocate some of the bones
of the wrist.
He was also slightly injured about
the neck and shoulders and thinks be
was unconscious for few minutes.
Upon regaining consciousness he made
his way to the mouth of the mine
where he received first aid and was
taken to the doctors office where he
was x-Rayed for broken bones and
received other medical attention. He
is getting along finely but will not be
at work again for some little time.

CROP PROSPECTS EX-
CELLENT IN VALLEY

7 Report from threshermen in thia
vicinity indicate that wheat is run
ming better than anticipated. YieIas
of 30 bushels, 46 bushels and AZ bunA-
els have been reported. Averages Of
90 bushels and better for large fields
are not uncommon. Some fields which
we're not put in properly have fallen
as low as 20 bushels to the acre but
these are rare. South of Belt and
east toward Raynesford there ara
many fields as yet unthreshed, soma
of which will crowd go bushels to the
acre in winter wheat and there are al
SO some marvellous crops of spring
wheat.
The Pimperton boys, the McCaffer~
ty boys and VIM. McInnis are some Of
those who are judged to have record
breaking crops, while all around them
are fields that are seemingly. just ~
good.

outfit into this territory Tuesday and

be known how high this wheat Ia pro-
ducing. e. w. Burnett also startsa
for the Raynesford country on Tuss-
day while there are other outfits Al
ready at work.
Some years the yield is very mucA
overestimated before threshing but
this seems not to have been the casa
this year when almost every field has
exceeded estimates from five to Is
bushels to the acre.
The quality also is much better than
first reported although the color Ia
slightly off from last year. The ina
proved price looks favorable and IL
may be that wheat sold later may pay

more harm than good.
with respect to this special matter
lit has done US some good to know
that among Montana newspapers the
Record Herald has been practically
alone in its opposition to an All Mon
tana Conference" for the purpose of
bringing about better mutual under
standing among and between the nu-
merous elements In the state. And
from the very start it has been the
intention to keep politics out Of the
confersuce as far as humanity possible
and to see that no single interest, big
or little, should dominate the confer
ence. And only in the most remote
sense would the conference be con-
eerned with the Dixon-Copper COM
pany row. For IL that were the only
internal condition that retarded the
development Of Montana such con-
ference would be useless. From the
volume Of editorial comment from
over the state ii is evident that the
feeling that such conference would
result in good, is general. In short.

missed it's step, but anyway the next
time it wishes to initiate a kid with

get than the editor of this paper il is
quite welcome to cut loose. We can
