Nineteen Births in
The City in January

The City Council met in regular
monthly session at the Council Cham
bers Tuesday evening. John Whalen
acted as mayor in the absence of G..
A. Jeffrey. Bills were allowed and
reports heard. In connection with
the reports the city health officer,
Adams, stated that there were ten
births, eight deaths and one burial
permit granted in December; nineteen
births, seven deaths and two burial
permits to ship out of the city in
January. He also reported that there
was one case of scarlet fever in the
city and number of cases of inf1uen-
"a and whooping cough, but that the
general health is good.
Matt A. Kentala appeared before
the council and made application to
construct a front entrance to the
Meter Building on Broadway for the
purpose of conducting a garage. The
council denied his application.
The application of K. N. Koski, to
construct swimming pool on South
Broadway, was laid on the table until
further information is obtained re-
garding the matter.

FrOmberg Syndicate
Making Progress in
Cottonwood District

Excellent progress is being made
by The Fromberg Syndicate in their
deep test on Cottonwood Creek few
miles east of SiIesia; actual drilling
having started about two weeks ago.
The optimistic feeling of the men who
are directing the work is shared by
all of those who are watching this at
tempt to locate the oil body long be-
LEVIED to exist in this locality.
Years before any oil was discovered
in Montana, interest was directed to
this district, first because of gas seep-
ages known there, and later because
the geological formation indicated
presence of oil. Sporadic attempts
have been made in the past to locate
this wealth, but in every case work
was discontinued before sufficient
depth had been made. Loss of tools,
crooked holes, and limited financial
backing forced abandonment of all
previous attempts; in fact not until
now has there ever been machinery
of the proper type used to continue the
test to proper depth.
1t is believed now, that because OF
ample financial backing, and further
because of the experience of the men
in charge, that this test will be car
ried to completion, and that CONNER
cial production will be the reward.

FROM THIS
COUNTY PARDONED
FROM STATE Pen

Fred d'Angeles an Italian convict
ed and sentenced for life to the state
penitentiary at Deer Lodge for murd-
ering fellow countryman and miner
at Bearcreek in 1918 was pardoned
by Governor J. E. Erickson and the
state board of pardons Monday and
will be deported to his home in Italy.
dAngeles is now suffering from tuber-
culosis.
On January 10, 1919 d'Angelis was
convicted of murder in the first degree
in the district court of Carbon county
and was sentenced to life imprison-
ment. He had killed another Italian,
a man nearly twice the size and
weight of d'Angelis, who had been
prosecuting him in the coal fields of
Utah and also at Bearcreek where he
was engaged as a coal miner. The
day following an attack by this 1tal-
ian,, d'Angelis shot and killed him.
On October 6, 1923, the then COVER
nor Joseph M Dixon, granted a par
don to d'Angelis, conditioned upon his
deportation to Italy, but the pardon
was disapproved by the state board of
pardons. Mr.. Dixon based his action
upon the statements of six OF the trial
Jurors and of the presiding judge and
the attorney general.
Recently pleas for the release OF the
convict have been received by Cover
nor Erickson, it being shown that
d'Angelis is suffering from tubercu-
losis and that Pietro A. Motif, Italian
consular agent at Butte, has pledged
himself to see that the prisoner is de-
ported.

PLANS UNDER WAY
TO ADD TO CARBON
COUNTY HIGH BLDG.

The high school board is calling for
bids this week for the construction of
an addition to the local high school.
Two plans are in mind; one being the
enlargement of the gymnasium and
wings on each side of the building
which will provide four more class
rooms and would add thirty-fve feet
more to the present assembly room
or auditorium. The second plan is
to convert the present gym and as
sembly into class rooms and construct
a new gym on the south side of the
building and build the auditorium over
it.
Enrollments have increased in the
high school in the past few years to
such an extent that it is necessary to
enlarge the building to take care of
the classes.

Forestry Primer In
structs School Child
In Care of Forests

Led by Mr.. Charles Lathrop Pack,
President of the American Tree Asso-
citation of Washington, D. c., plans are
under way for nationwide comment
grafton of the semi-centennial Of the
first step in American Forestry by the
United States government.
While General Clusters last stand
in 1876 on the lonely prairies of the
Little Big Horn of Montana, nearly
marks the end of Indian warfare, that
date also marks the beginning of the
Forestry movement in the United
States, when DR.. Franklin B. Hough
was appointed a special agent for the
Government to inquire into forest
conditions of the country.
Since that time the great American
forests have dwindled to half their
former size. Population and indus
tries have increased. Demands for
timber and trees are universal, and
come even from the vicinity of that
bleak and famous battle-ground.
Thanks to the impetus of the move
ment of fifty years ago, state and gov
eminent are striving to meet that de-
mand, with shelter belts and tree plan
tations that temper the winds and
landscapes to the hardy homesteaders
of the prairies.
Pointing to the lessons of the past,
and with hope for the future, Mr.. Pack
has prepared and published "The For
estry Primer, a little phamplet avail
able to teachers especially, which is
couched in such simple language that
school children can grasp it's meaning.
Containing thirty small pages, it pre-
sents in fourteen simple lessons, the
great Forestry problem of the United
States. "This Forestry Primer, Mr..
Pack says, "aims not only to mark a
date, but to direct the public opinion
of tomorrow to the great Importance
of that cornerstone of our country's
economic safety-forests."

REMEMBER SOAP

It hasn't been SO many years since you
couldn't buy soap. Fact. Those who aspired
to cleanliness had to make their own soap.
And then some one began rather tenta-
tive manufacture of this thing the world had
always made at home At harvest time, per-
haps, or on other occasions when the folks
were busy and soap ran short, they bought
some grudgingly. Ask your grandmother.
Then persuasive advertising began to
shout on every hand the laurels of PEARS
SOAP And has it been effective?
Are folks still making soap at home?
All! the power of suggestion!
You sell some merchandise some service,
some something. But even so, are you salts
fled?
Then remember FAIRY SOAP! If there
is anywhere room for improvement in your
business, what better means to the end de-
sired than the power of the printed adver-
tiSement?
In this vicinity there is no more effective
medium than The Carbon County News.

The county commissioners arrived
on snow shoes Monday and immed-
lately put a force of men to work tun-
nelling down to the court house. They
reached the roof late that evening and
succeeded in effecting an entrance by
way of one of Mr.. Finley's windows
and the commissioners were thus able
to hold the regular monthly meeting.
Saturday evening about 5 o'clock
the shout rang out that the prospec-
tors searching for the Elk's Club
Room had struck it. Several of the
brothers were thus able to phone their
wives as usual that they had an i'm
portant business engagement and
would not be home for supper.
The force of men assigned to find
the library somehow lost their bear
ings and sank tunnel squarely on the
roof of the @. X. Bar and to date the
search has failed to locate a single
one Of the churches.
One sad accident married the general
pleasure of the storm when it was re-
ported that a woman living in the
Third Ward who was on her way down
to get bucket Of ice cream for break
fast lost her way and slid down one
of the chimnies of the Pollard Hotel
bruising herself quite severely.
They claim that there is milk COW
lodged on top of one of the tall CHM
MES of the west side mine and that
gardening here will be somewhat de-
layed by reason of the storm.
The first three days of the month
it was not an uncommon thing to have
a bill collector quietly open your stove
door, step out like Santa Clause and
present you with a bundle of bills but
otherwise the people seem to remain
cheerful, though several of the afore-
said bill collectors are still missing
and foul play is suspected.
Of course train service has been
shot to pieces. Our regular mail train
has been annulled until July and dog
teams are being used to transfer the
mail to and from Billings.
Mayor Jefferies left Saturday for
St. Paul to see if he could hurry up

He went from here to Laurel by dog

AS yet there is no food shortage
The cafes and restaurants have not
raised their prices for icicles and

to supply customers until the crop Of
young onions comes on.

A Dream of Empire

Many years ago a hunter stood,
rifle in hand, on the spot where the
town of Bridger now stands and
dreamed dream. 1t was balmy
evening in early spring when the tall
grasses slant long shadows and the
world was a horizon of prairie and
peak.
Along the dusky distances of the
trail you might hear him call "yeehoo"
like an owl in the night 1t is almost
sunset time and he signals his wife in
the distance that he is man of strong
appetite. All day he had ridden, most
of the way with loose rein, allowing
his steed to wander where fancy led
All day he communed with a vison of
the Great Tomorrow, dream of en-
pire.
His home was in the Clark Fork val
ley. That day he saw jolting prairie
schooner rumbling westward. A beard
ed man guided the granting oxen. The
wheels and axles held squeaky con-
verse as they numbered along. He
stopped but long enough for brief
greeting. He listened to a woman
hum a lullaby from within the canvas
folds of the dust and mudcaked We
hicle of colonization. He pointed the
direction for the wayfarers, eyed them
prophetically, waved and rode on
again to his dream of The Great To-
morrow.
Along the margin of the trail lay
bones that were white and windtemp-
cred. They were the grim harvest of
the prairie, the monument that told of
the buffalo and antelope. The Reaper
took all that was breath and flesh; the
Reaper left naught but bleached bones,
disarticulate and CHASTITY skulls. Shay
gy names no longer tossed defiance,
laundering hoofs were silent.
Then his heart gladdens for there is
his home hewn from trees by his own
two hands. There in the doorway
stands his mate. She too is of the
land of western shadows. She beckons.
He draws near brings his mount to
a stand while he admires. Content
ment is on her face as she points to
a man blowing far to the north, new
log house being built in the middle dis
lance and a band of government sur
veyors camped on the bank of the
river hard by. His dream of the
Great Tomorrow was ended-the day
Of empire had already dawned.

tipped just a little to one side, and
her bright curious eyes.
And when they needed a girl at the front
row table in the Apache dive Bobby turned
to call her because, though he did not
know her name was Jeanne Marie Joseph
inc POulain, he thought she was more the
casting director had sent over. Bobby had
met girls who looked rather like her while
his regiment was stationed at Armentieres.
Hey" he said, beckOning to her across
the mob of extras, Hey, come here"
Jeanne Marie trembled, but she did not
move Beyond doubt the young man in
the white sweater was calling to someone
else. 1t could not be that he wanted her.
She was very frightened. They spoke Eng
lish so fast, these PeOple.
"Hey," yelled Bobby Ross again, "yOu-
you, peanut, you come here"
Jeanne Marie knew the meaning Of the
word peanut, and she understood at last
that he really wanted her, so she edged
forward, slipping under the arms Of the
others, for she was indeed very little.
Bobby continued TO call her Peanut and
