been notified as soon as the fire wal
discovered it Is probable that by tn,
nse Of the chemical and the watsl
available, a good portion Of the eIe,
vatOr might have been saved.
The chemical ia worthless except or
incipient fires but for these it is ex.
eeedingiy efficacious.
People from all over Belt hurried tc
the fire. Certain small boys gravely
assured their fathers that they made
the trip to Arlington in exactly five
minutes. Autos loaded to the run
ming boards carried motley crew. A
small boy on horseback with a boy
grasping each stirrup and another
the horses tail were making fast
time to the fire.
Mr.. Brady feels his loss keenly but
declares that the elevator will be re-
built. Many expression Of sympathy
and goodwill were heard among the
while the same feeling is
universal n Belt.
The burning Of this building
marks the passing Of another land
mark Of the days when Arlington
was the largest town in this section
and the large warehouses; were filled
each year several times with the wool
sacks which contained the clip Of the
entire Judith Basin. The freight
teams which hauled the wool In then
loaded up with all manner Of mer-
,handise for the stores and ranches
If the Basin. Fifteen or 20 freight
outfits with from 12 to 90 horses each
might be seen any summer day in
Armington.
The building Of the jaw-bone rail-
road from Lewistown to Lombard was
the first token of a change and when
he Billings and Northern was put
these immense warehouses
we're empty and deserted.
Mr.. Brady had found profitable use
for one Of them and it is to be re-
zretted that his efforts have been re-
xarded by such loss Of money and
lime.

FIRE DESTROYS ELEVATOR AND
CONTENTS ATARMINCTON FRIDAY

On Friday evening the grain eleva.
tor operated by the Arnington Grain
company Of which J. G. Brady Of Belt
is manager, mysteriously took fire
and was totally destroyed with all is
contents.
Last spring Mr.. Brady purchased
the wool warehouse on the west side
of the track at Arlington and remod-
eled it, building a commodious and
handy elevator near the south end of
the building. The north end Of the
warehouse was used for the storage
OF bulky commodities, such as corn,
salt and cement. The extreme south
end Of the building was made into Of
fices.
Previous to the opening Of this ele-
vator there bad been none at Arming-
ton and when the new elevator was
opened on September first, they at
once developed a profitable business.
Mr.. Brady is an experienced eleva-
tor man, having represented the
Rocky Mountain Elevator company in
Belt for some years besides buying
grain for other companies in Mon
tana and North Dakota in previous
years.
He left the elevator at Arlington
about 4:3O on Friday afternoon, ev-
erything appearing to be in good
shape. The only fire in the building !
was in the heating stove in the office
ct the oxtzene sonth end About
p. m. fire was discovered in the North
end of the warehouse and the railroad
men at once began work in getting
train Of box cars off the track next
to the elevator. BY the time they had
succeeded in doing this, the flames
had broken through the roof and it
was plain that the building was
doomed. Someone telephoned to Mr..
Brady at Belt but that gentleman was
a lecture at the M. E.
church and the messenger failed for
some time to find him.
About this time the editor looked
out of the office window and saw the
reflection Of the blaze on the hills at
Arlington. Telephoning to Central,
he found out what was the trouble.
The Belt Volunteer Fire Depart
ment was in session in the city hall
out profits from their earui=i
val when the editor stepped IN and
asked them to look out Of the window.
No motion to adjourn was put nor did
my one stop to pay his respects to the
chairman. They vanished and the
next minute the chemical truck load
ID down with firemen was on its way
o the scene Of the fire. The chemical
was Of no use but several lengths Of
hose were run off and the water from
he treating tank used to protect the
water tank and the road bed which
vas afire IN many places, The jap
Inese section foreman and his helpers
overed their heads with slickers and
oats and ran the water back and
orth over tise flaming ties until they |
iad the fire extinguished. Thereafter
hey occasionally sprayed them until
he fire had burned so low as to be
% longer dangerous.
The elevator held some 1000 bush
& Of wheat fully covered by insur-
nee come oats, barley and corn. The
itself was only partially m
ured.
There is no fire protection IN Arm
nston and had the fire department :.

FTREMEN TAKE IN $500
AND CLEAR ABOUT $500


On Friday evening Of last
week the Firemen were in ses-
sion when the elevator fire was
discovered. They had already
received the bills and arrived at
q balance Of the carnival re-
ceipts and expenditures when
they were called away. The
cash receipts Of the two even
ings were approximately $500
and the expenses Of both nights
were $500, leaving a profit Of
$500. The total receipts were
$3.50 less than last year while
the expenses were practically
the same. Had the weather
been less rigorous, out-of-town
people would have patronized
the affair freely and the profits
would have been corresponding
ly larger. As It was the re-
eefpts Of the second night were
less than those Of the first
