The elevator was insured for $4,000
and the grain was fully covered by
insurance, which is very fortunate,
although the loss Of the elevator will
be greatly felt at this time Of the
year, when the farmers are busy
hauling their grain to market.
The origin Of the fire is not known.
Carl Hovdey, one Of the directors of
the elevator, was the last man known
to have been in the building, having
gone back to get a coat, which he left
there. At that time, Mr.. Hovdey
states there was no smell of smoke
or anything indicating that a fire
might be smcldering in some unknown
place.
The directors met after the fire
but no decision was arrived at that
meeting in regard to rebuilding but
we understand arrangements are be
ing made to buy grain from the track
by Mr.. Walker.

GOV. DIXON TALKED
TO PACKED HOUSE AT
.ORPHEUM tues. EVE
Chased the Anaconda Snake Round
the Stage for Three Hours to De-
light of Appreciative Audience
Made Wonderful Impression.
OSCAR COLLINS LEADS PARADE

Gov. Dixon spoke to a packed house
at the Orpheum Theatre Tuesday
evening.
He spoke for three hours from eight
until eleven.
Every effort was made in order to
coax cut a big audience. A parade
was held composed mostly of small
boys, led by Gov. Dixon's payroll man,
Oscar Collins. The boys carried cat
tails soaked in oil as torches. The
rally had been advertised for three
weeks, and free picture show was
advertised to take place after the
Governor had finished his discourse
in order to get out and hold the crowd.
The Governor chased the Anaconda
dragon about the stage for three
hours, making quite a hero out of
himself. He did not say anything
about the farmers being free-lovers
this time as he did when he was here
four years ago when he was running
against Wheeler, nor did he tell
whether the Copper company was
| contributing to his campaign this
time or not. 1t furnished the money
to elect him four years ago.

he dared not meet Frank Edwards on
the platform for one hundred dollars
a night.
He took a dirty fling at one of the
local newspapers which he said ought
to be supporting him this year, but
which isn't, insinuating that it was
taking copper money to work against
him. Some thought he was abus-
ing the Plentywood Herald, and
very few, if any Of the audience, be-
! lieves that his insinuations had any
foundations in fact.
The Governor delivered his usual
cargo of half truths, but did not even
mention the Northern Pacific Rail
road company, the biggest tax-doAgel
in the state.
The Governor made, however, quite
an impression on the mainstreeters.

F1shbeck acted as scenery.

big busses full of striking paper box

The issue of the fight is organiza-
