Return to Montana
From California

Mr.. and Mrs. Archie Steel and
children returned the past week after
a year or more trying out California
They were at Redlands where they
built house and Mr.. Steel had a
job with an ice concern, They
found the climate very fne-the
children could play outdoors almost
the year round. But that was the
only advantage the country had over
Montana. AS for getting along and
getting ahead there were no better
opportunities there than, here, scare
ely as good. The Steels have land
here and house in town and, they
read about last years crops. So they
came back, like most of them do.
They are living in town for few
weeks before moving into the coun-
try to farm.

MEETS TOM ALLEY NEXT

Stanley Buresh won from Hodeson
the big Havre policeman, Tuesday
night at Glasgow, in two straight
falls, the first in 33 minutes and the
second in II minutes. Stanley says
it was a tough bout. The Havre
man is 25 pounds heavier than the
Nebraskan and equipped with plenty
of muscle and considerable knowl-
edge Of the game.
On st. Patrick's day, Tom Alley,
holder of the championship Of this
section, at least, of the Northwest,
will meet Buresh at the Liberty in
a match to be managed by the Ameri-
can Legion. These men are of equal
weight and both have high reputa-
tions to sustain. Tom Alley is the
proven superior of both John Alley
and Hodeson Of Havre, he has had
lot of experience in his art. On
the other hand Buresh is touted as
young wonder who has never been
beaten. Can Tom Alley turn the
trick? 1t is bound to be humdinger
of wrestling show. Pick your man
and watch him win-or lose.

FORT UNION SUCCEEDS
M0NDAK AT STATE line

Mondak is no longer even name.
1t is merely memory. Mondak,
famous in Wild West history of ten
to twenty years ago, but doomed to
semi-oblivion by the 18th amendment
must join the ghost cities of the
West. Mondak, the erstwhile seat
of government of the riverside county
of Roosevelt will not be found on
future maps. In it's place the name
Fort Union will appear.
AS is quite well known, Fort Union
located at the junction of the Yel-
one of the earliest military head
quarters in the Northwest of the SOS
and COS and was prominent in the
history of those troublous times of
fur trading and Indian fighting.
Situated on the north bank of the
Missouri only a few rods east of
what is now the Montana-Dakota
state line, it originally consisted of
a group of log houses, soldiers bar
racks, stables and two stockades,
each more than 200 feet long. 1t
was the destination of the ox-team
freighters from Bismark, steamboats,
from ST. Louis, and detachments of
the United States cavalry.
The historic Importance and en-
gaging tradition that center around
the old landmark will be recognized
and fittingly remembered through
the cooperation of the federal gov
ernment and the Great Northern |
railroad 1t is understood that an
of $4,000 has been |
made for the purpose. The work of |
marking the historic spot will be
done on the old site but presumably
the railway station will remain where
it is just on the Montana side of
the line. Through action of the rail
road and public service commission
the station is reinstated and will
appear on train sheets and time cards
as Fort Union. The land including
1he site of the old fort is owned by
E. A. Weinrich. an old time resi-
dent and member of the Roosevelt
county board. The process of reviv-
ng the historic place was consider
ably facilitated by the donation by
Mr.. Weinrich of nine acres of the
ground.

LUSTRE COMMUNITY
LEADS IN PURE SEED

The Lustre outlines a new project
IN pure seed work. The community
takes the lead in the state as the
first community to put on a 100
per cent crop Standardization pro-
gram.
County Agent Stebbins spent all
day Friday of last week at the Lustre
school house working with the farm
ers of the community planning their
crop work for 1925. The farmers
brought their dinners and the meet
ing lasted until P. NJ
Numerous samples of registered
and approved seed grain and corn
were exhibited by the growers of the
county. Great interest was shown
by all the farmers in the use of pure
seed. Inquiries about registered al
falfa were numerous and several of
the farmers are placing their orders
for small maounts of the registered
grain this spring. The topic of for
age crops, like sweet clover and
bronze grass were discussed at length |
and considerable acreage will be |
sown.
Pure Marquis and Victory Oats
The community voted to put on a
to get every farmer in
he county to seed registered or ap-

ect on right the community bound

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
ACCEPTS MONTANA GIFT

Washington, March 2.-President
Coolidge and members of his cabinet
will have Montana turkey for their
Thanksgiving dinner next November.
The president has accepted the offer
of the Pondera Poultry Growers as
sociation to send twelve turkeys, one
of which is for himself, one for each
cabinet member and one for Con-
gressman Scott TLeavitt.
Mrs. L. Alquist, of Conrad, secre-
tary of the association, in asking
Congressman Leavitt to present the
offer to the president, said that the
turkeys would be the gift of no in
dividual, but of the 800 members of
the association, the largest co-opera-
tive marketing organization of dres-
sed fowls in the northwest.
Accepting the offer on behalf of
the president, his acting secretary,
E. T. Clark, has written to Mrs. AL
quist as follows:
Through the courtesy of Con-
gressman Leavitt, the president has
received your letter asking, for the
Pondera Poultry Growers associa-
ton, the privilege of sending the
Thanksgiving turkeys to the presi-
dent and the members of the cabi-
net at next Thanksgiving time.
"The president asks me to thank
you, not only in behalf of himself,
but in behalf of the cabinet members,
and to say that he will undertake to
have them distributed so that they
will reach the tables of the cabinet
members at the appropriate mo-
nent."

WILLIAM A. CLARK
CALLED BY DEATH
NOTED MONTANAN VICTIM OF
NEUMONIA-WON GREAT
WEALTH FROM MINES

New York, March William A.
Clark, sc years old, former United
States senator from Montana, and
pioneer of the copper mining indus
try, died in his Fifth avenue home
here last night of pneumonia fol-
lowing cold contracted few days
ago.
Mr.. Clark was the vice-president
of the United Verde Copper COM
pany, maintained a residence in
Butte, Mont, his home city, in ad-
dition to the one here. Since he re-
turned from another residence in
Santa Barbara, Calf, last Decem-
ber, he has been active in directing
the United Verde and other compan-
les in which he was interested.
An idea of his wealth is given by
the fact that as far back as 1889
he refused $5O,OOO,OOO for one of
his copper mines. This rise to
wealth was during a career which
included the occupations of farmers
helper, school teacher, law student,
miner, prospector, banker and art
collector.
Mr.. Clark's widow was Anna La
Chapelle, Canadian physicians
daughter who became his ward on
the death of her father, and who was
to Mr. Clark in Marseilles
in 1901. Mr.. Clark was first mar
ried to Kate L. Stauffer of Connells-
vile, Pa, in 1869. She died in 1898.
Home a Show Place
Mr. Clark's residence at 962 Fifth
avenue was one of the most preten-
tious structures in New York and at
it's completion in 1912 it was said to
have cost $5,000,OOO 1t included
a system of Turkish baths, huge
organ and 26 servants rooms. In it

MONTANA CHILD'S Home
DOING GOOD SERVICE

There is no greater work in the
world than befriending a homeless
child. Thousands of people all over
the land have opened up their homes
and their hearts to the unfortunate
children who have lost their homes
and given the child every opportunity
that a natural child would have re-
ceived and the child has gone out
into life a credit and blessing to
society rather than liability. And
thousands of others have contributed
of their means to help to support a
society whose business it is to find
a good home for the unfortunate
homeless children.
For twenty-seven years the Mon
tana Children's Home society has
been placing homeless children out
into the best of our Montana homes,
until over $500 children have thus
been adopted out. This has been ac-
complished at cost of only S136 for
each child and SO per cent of these
children have made good. About 300
children were handled during the
past year. Do you call this an ex-
pensive proposition? Were the child
your child would you think so? Ask
the people who have adopted one
of these children into their home
and love the child as any parent |
would love theirs and more than
many parents do, if too much money |
has been spent on handling their
child. What would have been the
expense if these children had been
Sept in an orphanage? What would
he expense have been if the major
ty of them had been neglected and
inally sent to some penal institu-
ion?
The district superintendent has
,een here recently and has received
goodly number of contributions
rom the friends of the society for
yhich we are very grateful. Many
'thers would doubtless have con- {
ributed had there been time to see {
1em. A contribution sent into the I
flee at Helena, or to F. R. Brown, d

"CHICK" BREAKS HAND; FIGHTS
GAMELY TO WIN FROM
TOUGH OPPONENT

A large crowd of local and sur

tight and classy ten-round bout at
the Liberty theatre Monday night
when Ferguson and Tobin met in
the final event of the Legion's box
ing show. peanuts" Tobin of Mi
not, who was taken on in place of
Jimmie Fryler of Helena proved fast,
game and tough. He was good on
the defense and able to absorb
lot of punishment. He was fought
to his knees several times and plainly
was not far from out in the last
two rounds, but always rallied and
stuck to the end, beaten but still
trying.

Chick Ferguson, local boy, was de-
clared to have the best of of the 10
rounds. He carried the fighting to
his opponent much of the time and
tried hard for a win by the X. o.
method but was too much handicap
ped by a broken hand, an injury
received in the first round. He at
tributes the accident to an ill-ftting

ANTON ALLINC in
TOLLS, GREAT FALLS
RESIDED HERE FOR A TIME
CHARGED WITH GIVING
BOGUS DEED

He was old and alone and without
other interest in life than the modest
desire for home and the compan-
ionship of a friend or two to COM
fort his last days on earth.
These were the representations
made by Anton Alling, 76, to Frank
Tocci, which resulted in an agree
ment whereby Tocci was given deed
to property in Wisconsin and Michi-
gan, said to be worth between $5,-
900 and $4,000, in return for which
Tocci says he took Alling into his
home, 815 Ninth avenue south, as a
guest for life.
That was last October. Monday
the aged Alling was picked up by
the police at the request of Tocci,
who claims to have been swindled
out of five months board and room.
In support of his allegations Tocci
showed Chief of Police Marcus An
derson replies from different clerks
and recorders in Michigan and Wis
consin denying Alling's property
rights as set out in the deeds given
Tocci.
A lot in Flint. Michigan, a summer
home on Madeline island in Wiscon-
sin and 80 acres of land in Morris
township, Michigan, constitutes the
property to which Tocci says he

Questioned at the station, the old
man refused to admit the alleged
fraud, declaring that he held clear
title to all the land in question and
that he was able and that he would
pay Tocci for his keep.
He is being held for further in

Operated Here
Unless it is a case of remarkable
the man arrested at
Great Falls is the same Anton Alling |
who staid in Wolf Point for time
and who employed identically the
same methods to gain free board and |
shelter. He is said to have repre- |
,ented himself as rich with property |
n Wisconsin and Michigan and valu-
.ble oil interests in Montana. He
convinced farmer and his wife of
he genuineness of his claims and
leeded certain lots of large value

Karl Reddig is a registered grower

AIR RAIL DELAYED

Petitions from all but one Of the
first class postoffices in Washington,
asking for the establishment Of an
air mail route between Pasco and
Elko, Nevada, have been received
by the postmaster at Pasco and
forwarded to the postoffice depart
ment. Wenatchee was dhe only first
class office in the state that re-
fused the petition for the establish
rent Of the route. According to
dispatches from Washington, d. c.,
however, the petitions for the Pasco-
Elko route will probably not arrive
in time to bring about its establish
ment this summer. The postofficc de-
partrnept has to make a thorough in
vestlgation after the petitions are
received. as to the feasibility and
practicability of the route as well as
determining as nearly as it can
whether the route would pay and
this generally requires several months.
