had charge of the mechanical de-
,artment. The first issue contained
an account of OUR trip from Kalida,
Putnam county, Ohio, from whence
we came to Virginia City, Mont.
This account was all we could get
to put in the paper, as the country
was new, wild and woolly, no tele-
phone or telegraph to secure the
news.
Brought In With Ok Team.
1--WE bought the material and
outfit at ST. Louis, Mo-, shipped it
on a steamboat called the Yellow
stone, and went up the Missouri
river, expecting to land at Fort
Benton. We got up the river about
80 miles below Fort Benton, where
the boat was unable to run over
the rapids, was caught by swift
current of water, which carried it
down the river for quite distance
landing on an island. In a few days
the water went down and the boat
was lying on the bottom helpless.
The freight was unloaded and
placed on the island; the printing
outfit was a part of the freight. |
After the boat had laid there for a |
week or ten days quick and hard
rain fell, raising the river about
three feet in a short time. They |
hurriedly got up stream and spar
red the boat to deeper water Wei
we're compelled to remain there for
about two weeks until OK and mule
-eams came down from Fort Ben
on and took us, the printing outfit
and other freight up to the fort.
From there we conveyed it to Vir-
ginia City in wagons drawn by OK

We had only ten bundles of paper.
We had printed a bundle the first

our pages, six columns to the page
not an advertisement. We got it
90 large. We issued it once each
week for four weeks, sold it for
rold for double the amount we

THE DRAINAGE DITCH


The two drainage ditch machines
Lave been working in concert to
complete the ditch. The west
machine having finished its task
west of the trail, returned to help
the east machine complete its
task 1t has now reached the
Trail digging a trench about 10
feet deep The other machine will
complete the Job Of excavation
to the proper depth The west
machine was sent to Rocky Ford
Tuesday After crossing the trail
there will still remain about a
mile of the ditch to be completed.
The big conduit pipes have arriv-
ed for Horse Creek. These will
carry the ditch under the Creek,
whose banks have now been cut
through, but will be restored,
The soil is fast draining out and
when the ditch is complete quite
a respectable stream will have
been created. 1t is now thought,
however, that several laterals will
need to be dug from the territory
near the town site before the
region north of the city shall. have
been properly drained.

After taking the eastern divi-
sion Championship of the Valley,
without loss, the Holly High.
School team tied into tthe Fow-
Ter team, winners of the central
and western divisions last Friday
at Lamar The game proved to be
one of the most sensational ones
ever witnessed in the Valley.
The game was fast all the way
thrugh with Coatney and Thomas
starring for Fowler. and the hon
ors being about equally divided
between Blair and Adkins of
Holly. However, all boys did well
and pleased the several hundred
fans that were there from Holly
and surrounding country to give
them a cheer on every play.
Fowler boys have held the
Championship for the last three
years and put up game fight
taking the first quarter by a
score of 6 to 3. They came back
little weaker in the second
quarter, taking it only by to 4
making the score II to in. the
first half in Fowler's favor. The
Holly boys got in some real play
ing in he third quarter winning
it by 10 to 9 and should have had
the game in the last half when
the score stood II to % and only
two or three minutes to go, They
however. could not hold the fast
Fowler squad and the game ended
% to %.
Five minutes was then given to
play the tie off Fowler scored
two points right off the bat and
things looked gloomy" for bit
However our boys whipped up
placed a couple field goals and
one free throw winning their first
championship cup of the Valley
BY score OF q to 25
Never has it happened before
in this part of the country that
two championship games played
on the same night and same court
result in tie. Fowler girls. also
winners of the Central and West
ern divisions. and Wiley girls
winners of the Eastern. division
played as fast, sensational and
interesting game, resulting also
in tie, 26 to 26.
The game started Off with
Fowler girl in the lead and with
all indications that they would
be easy winners, They had the
first quarter by II to ) and end
ed the first half with score of
II to s But Wiley came back in
the third, taking it by to and
sprung real comeback and sur
prise the last quarter which they
took 8 to 2. Wiley should have
had the game, but Miss Pemble.
Wileys star forward, was wild
and lost lot of good chance OF
taking the bacon home. All
in all, it was wonderful game
and caused a lot of excitement
among the spectators,
Holly certainly should feel
proud of her high school boys this
wear as well as of their coach and
the rest of the faculty that whip
ned them into line both in foot,
ball and basket ball. They have
not lost game-thats some
thing to be proud of Not many

.i,OOO WORDS A MINUTE
Magnetic Photographic Drum Recorder Demonstrated, Greatly Speeds Up Receiving of Messages.

London, Feb. 22.--Striking evidence of the advancement made in invention during 1923 is found in the recent ex- hibit Of telegraphic and other instru- ments at the British Imperial College of Science and Technology. The most notable development is in telegraphy: delay in submarine cabling has been largely eliminated by utilizing the action of light on solenium. which responds so rapidly that the signal sent out is recorded even before the full current has passed over the wire.
 A magnetic telegraphic drum re- corder is shown. capable of speeding up messages to 1000 words a minute. This is effected by the current of the incoming signal passing through coils contained in 8 rapidly revolving iron drum and turning it into a magnet for a brief space, thus attracting a slight piece of iron, shaped like a brake shoe. This operates a fine syphon tube charged with ink, causing 1t to record the signal on the paper tape as it flies past it.
 Another exhibit is an 'undulator." or an instrument used in high speed wireless telegraphy. capable of print ing on an endless slip of paper up to 300 words a minute.
 Another device which appealed both to laymen and professional is the com plicated photographic apparatus for taking motion picture at the rate of 5000 second.
