CHRISTMAS PAGEANT
PRESENTED THURSDAY

Those who attended the Christmas
program at the Presbyterian church
on Thursday evening of last week
were more than repaid for Drawing
the cold that night. Preceding the
big event, the pageant Bethlehem, !"
short program of recitations was
given by the primary department,
which in itself was a splendid enter
tainment. The little folks showed
ability and practice and all did so
we'll that special mention cannot be
given of any particular one.
Following this the pageant was
presented and those who worked so
long and faithfully to produce it
must have felt gratifed at their sue
cess. The older children of the Sun
day School portrayed the people of
Judea and the shepherds, while three
men from the congregation were
chosen to act the part of the "Three
Wise Men of the East" In story
and beautiful song they told of the
birth of the Savior.
The characters were gowned in
bright colors according to the custom
of that period and with the use of
colored spot lights created a scene
Of remarkable beauty. Aiding ma
terially in the effect of the scene was
a large background showing the city
Of Bethlehem as it is today, with |
electric lights skillfully arranged to !
bring out the Star and the angel ,
which appeared on the first Christ
mas night.
Too much credit cannot be given
Rev. and Mrs. S "A. Walker and their
aithful assistants for giving to the
public this beautiful and instructive
entertainment.
At the close of the program jol- !
y old Santa Claus appeared and
'assed out eandy.-Contributed.

Wolf POINT BAKERY
HAS A MODERN PLANT

The Wolf Point bakery, Richard
Schaale, manager, has one Of the
most up to date and we'll equipped
plants for town of this size, in the
Northwest. The writer had the
pleasure of inspecting the plant and
seeing the various kinds of machin-
cry in operation this week. Num-
erous labor saving devices enable
Mr.. Schaale and his assistant to do
work which would require a much
larger staff were not the machinery
there. Some of the machines do
everything the workman does, and
do it accurately and much more
quickly. One of the most interesting
and useful of the labor saving de-
vices is the wrapping machine which
takes the loaf, wraps it IN waxed
paper, seals the paper and passes it
out of the machine ready to deliver
to the customer.
Another device which performs eff
ficiently is the bread moulder, which
takes the dough. moulds it into loaves
and passes it out ready to go into
the ovens.
Giant ovens with fire bricks top
and bottom to keep the temperature
at an even degree insure the thorough |
and even cooking of the bread and I
pastry. A cake mixer is regulated I
so that the mixing may be done
slowly or quickly according to the
needs. Close by is sitter which
accommodates 800 pounds of flour,
sitting and cleaning it and passing
it out all prepared for the dough.
In addition to this extensive outlay
If labor saving machinery with its
consequent increase in efficient pro-
luction Mr.. Schaale also has every ia
'ility for preparing fancy cakes and
PASTRIES.

Greek Giant Seeks
Wrestling Opponents

The sports editor of this paper
has received a letter and sheaf of
clippings from Gust Karras who
says he is anxious for match with
Stanley Buresh. G. !$t is recalled
here as appearing with Robbins
Brothers circus last June. He was
large muscular person who weighed
some 225 pounds and looked as if
he had been reading Bernarr Mac
Fadden's magazines for several
years.
The ring master introduced Gust
and invited any one in the audience
to come forward for bout with the
gentleman, who stood calmly on the
mat with folded arms. Nobody
came. Every man was watching the
clowns. The sports editor blushed
for his town. Stan Buresh was in
Nebraska at the time, Bill Burgess
had not yet entered the game, and
personally the editor was detained,
high up on the reserved seats holding
the baby, and there was not dry
spot to lay it on that day. But it
was Just as well so, for Gust says he
did not lose one of his 1876 matches
while with the circus. 1t would have
been shame to spoil his record.

HOUSE MEETS ALLEY
FOR CHAMPIONSHIP

Arrangements have finally been
completed to bring Elwood House,
heavy weight champion of Montana
and Tom Alley, light heavy weight
champion of the state, together in
this city, for finish wrestling match.
The bout is two best falls out of
three, on a winner take all basis.
The match will take place in the
Liberty theatre Wednesday night,
January 6, at about 9:20. These
boys have met twice before both
times in Plcntywood. Alley won the
first match and House the second
and since the last match these
wrestlers have been the topic of the
day among wrestling fans of Mon
tana. They will meet here to set
tie in their own minds as well as
with the wrestling fans in Northeast
ern Montana which is entitled to the
heavyweight title Of this state. Many
out of town fans are planning to
attend. The largest crowd ever seen
at wrestling match here is expect
ed. What many consider the two
best grapplers in the Northwest will
be a strong attraction. Those plan
ming to attend should make early
seat reservations. Two good pre-
have been arranged.

WILLISTON FIRE
COSTS $15O,OOO
JARREL-JOHNSON BLOCK WITH
HARDWARE STOCK, OFFICES,
PRIVATE APARTMENTS

Fire that was discovered early Sun
day morning completely destroyed
the Jarrel-Johnson building at Will
liston and damaged the adjoining
Creaser block. The building, which
was in the same block as the Great
Northern hotel, was a two-story
brick structure of so foot frontage
and nearly half-block depth. The
damage is estimated at $150,OOO with
insurance of about one half that
amount.
Reports say the work of the fire
men was hampered by severe cold
and by falling walls. Two fremen
were injured when the walls fell and
another was overcome by exposure.
The iremen risked their lives for
more than four hours before finally
getting the blaze under control.
Phone Operators Stay
Stories of bravery on the part of
telephone operators also were told at
Williston Sunday. The telephone Of
flee was in the building adjoining the
one destroyed by the flames and the
local manager and his operators re-
mained at the switchboards turning
in the alarms and handling emergen-
cy calls when the flames were threat
ening to burst through the walls.
This was the third fire in as many
days in Williston. 1t was the lar
gest that the town has experienced
and the only one of consequence in
the last 10 years.
Origin of the blaze is still unknown
it started in the basement
of the hardware store. Mr.. Jarrel
the furnace of the build
ing personally about 1890 p. m.
Many Occupants
The Johnson block was occupied
on the first floor by the Jarrel-John-
son Hardware company, carrying a
large stock, and the second floor
contained apartments and the offices
Of W. G. Owens and Ivan MetZger,
lawyers; DR.. E. G. Scholberg, den
list; E. w. Blaisdell, insurance, and
J. A. Cunningham, real estate.
Five families, living in the apart
nents, lost everything and several
casualties probably were averted by
he alarm spread by the Misses EN-
ma Calvert and Marie Erschenberg-
sr, who resided in the building. The
,amilies which occupied the apart
nents carried no insurance and lost
III their clothing and furniture.
Another Block Damaged
The Creaser block, owned by the
7irst National Bank of Williston,
djoining the Jarrel-Johnson build
ng, was partially destroyed The
Jreaser drug stock on the first floor
nd apartment furnishings on the
econd floor were ruined by smoke
nd water and half of the roof of
he building was burned.
The loss to the hardware company
estimated by its manager at $751;
90, of which only $48,O00 is cover
d by insurance. The Owens law
brary on the second floor was one
f the largest in the state and, to-
ether with equipment, was valued
$4,000 Insurance in the
mount Of $4,000 was carried on the
roperty.
1t has been announced that the
urned block will be rebuilt as soon
; possible.

had reached certain and definite de-
cision. In fact, looking back on the
past few months, Mr.. Latter was at
loss to account as to how things had
reached their present pass. Had he
been told when he stood for parlia-
ment, Haunting all the old hackneyed
formufae, that within two years he
would be secretly engaged in red-hot
Communist work, he would have
laughed the idea to scorn. Anarchy,
too: nasty word but the only one
that fitted the bomb outrage in Man
chester, which he had himself organ
ized. Sometimes in the night, he used
to wake and lie sweating as he thought
Of that episode.
And gradually it had become worse
and worse. Little by little the charm
ing Count Zadowa, realizing that Mr..
Latter possessed just those gifts which
he could utilize TO advantage, had
ceased to be charming. There were
many advantages in having a men,
ber Of parliament as chief liaison
officer.
There had been that first small slip
when he signed a receipt for money
paid him to address q revolutionary
meeting in South Wales during the
coal strike And the receipt specified
the service rendered. An unpleasant
document in view Of the fact that his
principal supporters in his constitu-
ency were coal-owners. And after
that the descent had been rapid.

REARING PONDS AT OAK
CREEK GROWING $4,000
YOUNG TROUT FOR STREAM

1t is unlikely that Oak Creek will
ever again be even mildly lacking in
its main essential-good, gamey trout
in plenty. There are two fine rearing
ponds there now and in them are 60
1000 young trout, recently brought
from the state fish hatchery at Sprin-
gerville.
The rearing ponds, i is said, are
largely due to the initiative and hard
work Of r. K. Duffy, president of the
Verde Valley Game Protective asso-
citation.
The rearing ponds are at Lolomai
lodge and one of the Lamport places.
Each is two feet deep by II by so
feet. Into each running spring water
sprays from a height of two feet, not
only keeping the water fresh, but
carrying into it fresh oxygen.
The state of Colorado fish and game
authorities estimate that every size
able trout caught by outsiders in the
streams of that state nets the busi-
ness men of the state So Whether
that figure is too high or isn't, at any
rate well-stocked trout stream, easy
of access, is a great asset to the
towns around it, especially when sit
uated in such a delightful scenic
country as Oak Creek canyon, the
beauties of which in themselves are
sufficient to attract many visitors
each year.

GOLDEN EAGLE GAMBLING

PARADE HEADS NAMED

When the Days of '49' celebration
begins in Flagstaff, July 2 there will
be saloon the trade name of which
will be familiar to old timers as well
as those of the later school. Begin
ming with plans for the '49 saloon
Fred Russell with assistants were
selected to run the Last Chance" bar.
Russell took the job on the condition
that some of the Elks be muzzled
while on duty
]. M. Clark will conduct the Golden
Eagle gambling hall, with Lefty"
Lewis as one assistant, others to be
named later.
You'd be surprised if you knew who
got peeved when the saloon conces-
sions were awarded. Many of the
Elks want to be fastidious gentleman
gamblers and saloon keepers during
the big event. Various other roles
must be enacted however, and there
viii be many other characters of the
40 days to be portrayed.
The street parade will be in charge
of Lieut.-Col. Harry Embach.
The Elks' program will be an
nounced from time to time, the execu-
tive committee declaring that so many
things are being planned that it is
better to go slowly with the big pro-
gram in orGer to work everything out
in detail.

BILL STROBE, HE STROBE IN

Bill STROBE. the ubiquitous repre-.
sentative of TIE Miami Silver Belt
published in the copper arena OF
which Miami is the center, has been
in Flagstaff this week with the sena-
torial party as a special press agent
We don't know Bills exact technical
ly adhesion to the polished Silver
Belt officially, but from the widely
segregated locations of the scenes of
his activities over the state and his
method of attack, we have come to
the conclusion that he is the Rowing
Political Buccaneer" with side lines as
to the flora and fauna of places here
and there he purposely drops in on
accidentally.
Bill strode into the office Monday
to borrow copy paper and swap lies
despite the fact that we are mortal
enemies with no special ill-will against
each other.
Bill has wonderful descriptive pow
ers for scenery and climate, but when
he endeavors politics he scatters like
a batch of birdshot in a blunderbuss.
