open-air concerts at the park each
evening. They played well and were
generous with the number of selec-
tions they rendered.
Two dances were held each even
ing, one at the Coliseum and the
other at the old Glacier hall and there
was good music at each place. Judg-
ing by the crowds each night there
is no doubt but what all who wanted
to dance had an opportunity.
Drawing the Car
The big thrill of the Stampede
came at 1920 Saturday evening,
when the drawing took place which
gave the Oldsmobile Six, given away
by the American Legion, to William
Scott Of Medicine Lake, Montana.
For a couple of weeks previous to
the Stampede the Legion had been
giving away tickets on the car and
there was much interest in the draw
ing, the crowd filling Main street
for a considerable distance aound the
car.
The conducting of a successful
stampede is no small undertaking and
those in charge of the affair this
year r deserving of the praise they
have been receiving. The committee
this year consists of C. J. Severson,
0. c. Johnson, O. T. Stennes, F. J..
Neutgens and E. B. Styer. Ray Nit
chell was manager in charge of the
daily programs and Jack Marmon ac-
ted as secretary.

Former Waska Farmer
Dies at Detroit, Mich.

The many friends Of Charles E.
Shafer, formerly of the Waska neigh
borhood, will regret to learn of his
death from cancer of the stomach,
which occurred June oath at Detroit,
Mich. The sad news was received
in a letter from Mrs. Shafer to the
Herald, and enclosed the following
clipping from a Hartford, Mich,
newspaper:
Former Resident Dies
The Cody of Charles E. Shafer,
aged 60, was brought here Saturday
evening from Detroit, where ms
death occurred last Saturday follow
ing a long period of i'll health. The
body was taken to the home of Mrs.
F. w. Toogood on East Main street
where funeral services were held yes
terday afternoon, with interment at
Maple Hill. Mr.. Shafer was the sec
ond son of Jackson and Arvilla Sha-
fer. pioneer residents of Lawrence
township, and was born in Lawrence
on April &c, 1862. On March 20,
1880, he was married to Elsie Eas-
ton of Hartford, who survives him.
10 Cnem were DOrn live oolbo, 1coiA
Shafer of Hartford, Verne of Kala-
mazoo, and George, Dell and Dale, all
of Detroit. He is also survived by
one sister, Mrs. Altha Van Bracklin
of Hart, Michigan, and five brothers,
Frank and Mack Shafer Of Hartford,
Emery of Tacoma, Wash, and Glen
and Marion of Hart. Mr.. and Mrs.
Shafer formerly resided for many
years on a farm i nsoutheast Hart
ford, but for many years had resided
in North Dakota and Montana. They
returned last fall, Mr. Shafer being
in i'll health, and went to Detroit
to spend the winter with their sons,
where his death occurred.
Mr.. Shafer was a substantial,
thrifty farmer, who for a number of
years resided in the Waska neighbor-
hood, and a host of friends will re-
greet his departure and join in SYM
pathy for Mrs. Shafer.

ROOSEVELT COUNTY

that, with the exception of the vault,
it could be made ready for occu-
pancy within a very short time.
Move At Once
There was a discussion Of the court
order regarding when the offices
should be moved, and it was inter-
preted to mean that the offices should
move as soon as possible, and it was
therefore decided that the offices be
moved into the various buildings
available around town, giving the
commissioners time to secure figures
on the cost Of a vault and Jail build
ing, in order that they may make
an intelligent and careful compari-
son of the two propositions.
There has been much discussion of
the matter on the street since yester-
day, and while it is evident that the
Great Northern has offered the better
rent proposition, the c%oncensus of
opinion is to the effect that the
county will get a better price
on a courthouse and courthouse site
than the one Mrs. Rogers made them,
as $4,000 is only about half the cost
of the buildings that are on the
Coliseum lots. Another argument
that is put forth is that, while it was
all very well and the proper thing
to rent as long as the permanent To-
cation Of the county seat was in
doubt, now that the seat of govern
ment is permanently located it is
the part Of wisdom to buy, so that
every dollars worth of improvement
put into the buildings will enhance
the value of the county's property.
SO the moving began this morning
when twenty or more trucks and cars
went down to Poplar and began the
process of bringing the records to
Wolf Point. In the course Of a cou-
pie of hours the joyous footing Of
auto horns announced the return of
the loaded cars. Even Old Mother
Nature took a hand in it and sent a
heavy shower Of short duration to lay
the dust on the Roosevelt highway.

tel pay it's own way. as every self respecting individual or enterprise should do. But if. in making this q practical, self supporting proposition, we can also add the element of at tractiveness. we are just that much better off. In this hotel l believe we have reached an ideal compromise; we have every evidence of both util- ity and beauty. And I very sincerely congratulate you.
 There is one other thing l want to point out before I close. That will be in the form of a little prediction. predict that the launching of this hotel will mark new era in the prosperity of New Britain. It has been my experience that every time city gets down to business and as d community puts over something big. then that city has experienced re- birth of progress.
 Many times you hear folks say, oh. we cant do this. or we can't do that It is too much for this city. Its impossible. We cant get any more paved streets. we cant stand for a new city hall, or a new high school or a public library: we simply can't do it; the town is not big enough for it.
 "Whenevcr you hear local "Jere- miah" saying things like that. why. you just take him by the ear and bring him up here to West Main street. and point out this hotel. Bring him into the lobby. let him get the feel the atmosphere, of tho place, breathe in the air of hospitality he will find here. I think you can send him away with a great deal more faith in his home city.
 Tt does city good to do a good thing in big way. This hotel will do good for New Britain. All that Is necessary for you folks to have is further extension of the enthusiasm and faith which made this hotel pos sible. Don't stop just because you have succeeded in establishing the hotel. Keep right on--do your share in making it successful. Get behind and push and keep on pushing. And we'll be with you"
 Before closing the exercises, Toast master Black announced that during the next 30 days. 5.700 people would attend banquets and entertainment at the hotel and made plea to the stockholders to make the place the center of social activities.
