THE SHERIFFS OF COUGAR

"A Story of the Mountains"
BY ROBERT J. PEARsALl

awhile. You haven't heard yet," he
went on rapidly, "but the Territory
of Idaho's been formed, and you're in
it, and there'll be federal court next
week at Lewiston They sent me over
to help you corral the gang that's
been workin' out from Cougar.
guess you know mostly who they are
that you've got your guns against, but
they'll have fair trial, jury trial, in
Lewiston"
A shadow of uncertainty still hung
over the crowd, and after a little
pause he continued.
There were too many coinci-
dences. The charred letter in the fire
place, story-book style, was bad
enough, but when the burned place
began each time just at Arnett's name
real cute way Of coverin' an erasure,
says l. And who'd write in Arnett's
name but the man that wanted. to get
rid of him-Helme? And who'd have
a chance to write it in but the MUIR
derer, the man whose name was in
the letter when Washburn got it, the
man Washburn tried to blackmail?
For Helme was right about that-the
letter and attempted blackmail were
the cause of Washburn's murder.
"Of course had to guess a bit at
that-and liked the looks of Arnett's
friends. But that's over, and now"
his voice changed to an official note,
'by the powers invested in me by the
United States Government hereby
| declare"
He droned on, appointing guards
for the prisoners, summoning wit
nesses. The crowd was very silent,
contemplating the greatness of the
mistake they had SO nearly made,
grateful for the mistakes they would
be spared in the future. Here and
there hat came off. Dimly the com
munity of Cougar was approaching its
real beginning as part Of greater

If we tried to produce with our
own labor alone all the things that we
use every day we would find ourselves
quite helpless.
1t is hard to imagine what sort OF
house we would be living in if we had
to construct it and all the materials
that go into il wholly by our own Ell
forts, or what sort OF food and clothes
we would have if we had to produce
these things with no help from the
rest of the world Under such condi-
tons we would be little better off than
beasts.
Because of the desire for better liv-
ing, men in past years came to follow
different occupations-one became a
carpenter, another weaver, and still
another baker. After this speciali-
eaton took place people had better
houses, better CLOTH and better bread,
and they also got these things more
cheaply and quickly than before.
In modern countries this process of
the division of labor is carried still
further. Perhaps the following we'll
known example will illustrate the
point.
Adam Smith in his celebrated book,
"The Wealth OF Nations" first pub
lshed about $50 years ago, gives an
interesting example of the effective
ness OF the division of labor in SC
simple a business as the making OF
ordinary brass pins. After showing
that 10 people, each specializing in
certain portions Of the work, were able
with only the crudest kind Of machin-
cry to make $4,000 pins day he says
But if they had all wrought sep
arately and independently, and with
out any OF them having been educated
to this particular business, they GER
tainly could not each of them have
made 20, perhaps not one pin in a
day; that is, certainly, not the 240th,
perhaps not the 4,800th part OF what
they are at present capable OF per
forming in consequence Of a proper
division and combination OF their dit
ferent operations"

can be used. from heavy leather
to pink kid combined with satin.
Also cut-out rose pattern can be

this handkerchief case use four
inch squares of stiff thin card
board. The decorative fabric is
firmly held on by sparing use of
the best quality of liquid glue. The
elastic is glued in place before the
cover is put on.
The success of this handkerchief
case largely depends upon the dec

tirely to the taste of the maker.

favor of granting the relief sought.
The transportation department Of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce re-
manned neutral and took no part in
the proceedings.
When the commission hearing was
held in Seattle last year the railroads
made formal objection to the applica-
ton for granting of through rates.
They declared that the two steamship
companies already having rate agree
ments with the railroads were able
to handle all the business offered and
that another company entering the
field would divide the field so as to
make 1t Improbable so that service
would be impaired.

Plentywood II. S. Boys Win
Easily from Homestead

In rather one-sided game, the
brentwood High School Basketball
boys team won from the Homestead
boys at the Farmer-LabOr Temple
last Saturday night by score OF
27 to II.
The rapid advancement Of the Plen-
tywOod boys over the first of the
season could be plainly seen in the
speed and teamwork of the local
basketball shooters. The manner in
which they cageA and passed the
ball bespeaks we'll fer the local boys
in the coming tournament at Wolf
Point.
The Homestead game was the last
game to be played by the Plenty
wood hoop artists before the tourna-
ment and they go to the tournament
with the scalp of every high school
team in the county dangling at their
belts.
The success of the team is due in
a large measure to the untiring eff
forts of Coach Rice, who has worked
with the boys night and day, ham
mering them into condition and i'm
proving their skill in the art OF
passing the ball through the hoop de-
spite all opposition.

RED HAT NEW BRAND
OF WESTLAND GAS

The Red Hat, built along the lines of
Uncle Sans familiar sky piece and
made famous as a brand of high
quality, gasoline, has made its APP
pearance in PlentywOOd.
The new lid was adopted as the
distinguishing mark of its gasoline
by the Westland Oil Company at its
fourth annual convention in Wolf
Point recently and the new emblem
IS. now prominently displayed on all
Westland pumps and equipment IN
town.
Use of the new emblem, according
to +. J. Kjelstrup, local manager of
the Westland Oil Company, is re-
+ stricted to strictly Independent ell
concerns holding membership in the
Independent Oil Men of America, a
nationwide organization Of independ-
ent oil companies.
All gasoline sold under this brand
must equal or surpass U. S. govern
ment specifications for gasoline, eX-
plains Mr.. Kjelstrup. Furthermore,
it must have an Independent history
from the well to the consumer. The
Red Hat was adopted by The indie
. pClluCllG clooOOldI4O4l q gCetA lSO d. q
brand for gasoline and since that time
the emblem has been introduced to
millions Of people throughout the
United States through the medium OF
national advertising and general dis
play from coast to coast.
When the Red Hat was first intro
duced to the public, the Standard Oh
Company interests attempted to pre-
vent copyright of the emblem, claim
ing that it was an infringement upor
the Red Crown brand. Independents
commended, however, that no American
would have trouble in distinguishing
hat from a crown.
