Butte's tiniest baby is dead. Elsie
MIRIAM Lahti, who weighed scarceiy
one mound when born, has succumDed
desnite the constant care of physi-
clan who undertook the task OF Keep
ing life within the frail body. Ihat
the infant lived a week is considered
remarkable in view of the fact that at
birth artificial respiration was resort
ed to for 30 minutes before the heart
began to beat Physicians then de-
ciared that the mite could not i've
more than a few hours unless kept In
an incubator. This was disproved,
however. Althou~h the attending phy-
stefan had admitted from the first that
the question of keen'ng the child alive
was q serious one, until few hours
before death there WAS every lndlca-
ton that tiny Elsie would survive. In
the absence Of an Incubator, the baby
was kept rolled In electric pads.

usual size down to that of a small
lead pencil. While heads of this char
acter are occasionally obtained it is
generally believed that the unusual
number of points is due to an injury
received during early growth of the
antlers.
1t now seems as if the proposed Pc
troleum country is drilling on a
fault" and it is barely possible that
the promoters will find 1t necessary to
start a new hole. 1t is said that the
Valentine country is petitoning out,
several big landowners are enlisting
volunteers to help fight it, and there
Is some question as to the validity of
