ST. LOUIS MAN DISCOVERS
NEW KIND OF HEAT

Mr.. B. M. Oliver of st. Louis has
invented an amazing device which
ends forever the days of woman's
slavery to dirty, mussy coal and wood
fires. 1t sets into the fire-box of any
kind of heating stove, cook stove or
furnace without changes and just
turning a valve. 1t gives any degree
of heat from a tiny flame to a roar
ing inferno-3 times the heat of coal
If it is needed
Mr.. Oliver calls his invention the
Oliver Oil-Gas Burner because it
makes its own gas from $3.50 air and
$50 oil, the cheapest fuel there is.
The wonderful story of a woman's
freedom from building fires, carrying
heavy scuttles, emptying ashes, has
spread so rapidly that already over
100000 burners are being used by
American housewives. Mr.. Oliver
wants every woman to have the use
of his invention. If you will write
to him at 2f65-K Oliver Bldg, st.
Louis, Mo-, you will receive an at
tractive booklet FREE that tells all
about it. Mr.. Oliver is now making

state that is so greatly indebted to

The readers curiosity is likely to
be more aroused when he discovers
that Governor, then Judge Edger-

what is now Montana, to make the
perilous journey to Washington,
and secure, if possible, the division
of Idaho, and that his mission was

ABOUT THE CHANGING OF THE MAINE OF
EDGERTOM COUNTY TO LEWIS AND CLARK

| On his return trip to Montana in
May, he heard when he arrived at
Salt Lake City that President Lin
coin had for the second time given
him an official appointment, max
ing him governor of Montana,
above many rival candidates with
strong political backing.
why, with such a record to his
credit" the bewildered reader
might ask, SHOULD such an affront
have been offered this man by the
people of Montana; an affront that
has never been rectified, although
many new counties have been
formed, bearing the names of all
sorts and conditions of men? What
unforgiveable crime did Governor
Edgerton commit that led to the
dropping of his name from the list
of counties ?"
One early historian, whose name
| do not recall, accused the COVER
nor of being arbitrary and dicta-
torial while Sanders history, COM
menting on the action of the legis-
lature which changed the name of
Edgerton county, says: "This as
sembly, actuated by the shoulder
ing embers of political hatred,
changed the name of Edgerton
county to that of Lewis and Clark"
The first of these partial explain
atoms was written by virulent
partisan and quite likely grew out
of an incident connected with the
seating of a member of the first
territorial legislature-Co1. Rodg-
ers- formerly of the Confederate
army.
The Iron Clad Oath

onally an admirer of Col. Rodgers
of character, felt it his
luty to oppose the admittance of
he Colonel to the legislature, un-
ess he took the prescribed oath,
hen known as the "Iron-clad."
What other honorable course was
pen to the governor? .
