"Lewis Hotel, Lake Mcdonald,
July 30.-All night upon the wall

Epworth Leaguers, Mr.. john
son, 10, Choteau, and Miss Edna
Brown, 16, Wolf Point, which
lead park rangers and others in
this vicinity to fear a recurrence
of tragedies which have happen
ed in past years when tourists
went into dangerous places with
out guides.
Make Trip Unguided
The two had been members of
a party of 80 young people at
tending the Epworth League
camp on Lake Mcdonald, which
had made a trip to the top OF
sperry glacier and which had
gone up without the almost ne
cessary guidance Of experienced
mountain climbers.
When the party left the gla-
cier upon its return down the
regular trail which comes out at
the Lewis hotel, it was not noticed
that their number had been re-
duced to %, and it was not un-
til some time later that the alb
sence of the two was noticed.
Down at the lake, when the
two did not appear, great con-
cern for their safety was mani
fest and number of parties
made the trip up the long trail

"This is one of the most uni
que experiments ever made" said
George H. Black, president Of El-
lensburg, Wash, State normal,
addressing a company Of people
gathered at a banquet Monday
evening in honor of the normal
school commission who are now
in the state for the purpose OF
fixing a location and choosing a
site for the new eastern Montana
normal. C. H. Fisher, president
of BelIingham, Wash, normal and
Frank Baker, president of Mil
waukee State normal are the oth-
er members of the commission.
"The use Of scientific methods IN
finding the proper location for g
normal school in the state OF
Montana, is, we believe, the first
experiment of its kind ever made
in the United States. We believe
that many state institutions have
not been wisely located. just as
many mistakes have been made IN
the east as in the west, and it was
thought that having a disinteresG-
ed commission come in from out
side the state to make a survey
of the possible locations for this
new normal, that the choice might
be made impartially and the nor

serve the people of the east END
Of the state over long PERIOD
of wears. If the experiment
nroves success Montana viii
stem forward as having the first
normal in the United States 70

President Black remarked aOous
the fact that both women ana
man were present at the banquet,

OFFICIALS NOTE
PROGRESS SIGNS
M'FARLAN AND HARDIE MAKE
SURVEY OF COUNTY AND
CROP CONDITIONS

Neil McFarlan, county treasur
err. and w. J. Hardie, clerk anc
recorder, returned Sunday eve
ming from a trip of four day;
which took them pretty vel
Through the entire county. The
purpose of the trip was to dis
tribute election supplies but Mr.
McFarlan took especial advantage
of the opportunity to observe
general conditions. The men left
here last Thursday morning 60
'ng to Brockton, Culbertson, Ian
ark, Bainville, and Mondak. From
there they went back to Balm
Vile and to the communities
north of there; west to Froid, Mr.
Hardie spending one evening at
his home there; through the Damn
community and onto the Reser-
walton. The last lap of their trir
took them to Volt and Waskal and
the territory north Of Wolf Point
and Poplar.
New Land Broken
! One Of the most encouraging
signs that have yet been noted II
/ this county was the breaking o1
thousands of acres Of new lane
lin the territory north Of Vol
Point and Poplar. This IS lane
which has never before beer
touched. and according to Mr.
McFarlan, is being prepared fol
crops next year. On many
farms. which are already under
cultivation, much new acreage i
being broken this summer and con
sequently will sow larger acreage
next spring. In other instance
abandoned land is being reclaim
ed. In many instances who'll
ouarter sections were being pre-
nared for cultivation. This
noted as an especially reliable IN
'ldex to the general trend OF con
ditions in the county.
Wheat Good
AS for this years crop Mr.. Nc
Farlan says that the wheat Gro,
lin the east and north parts OF tn
county is the best appearing 1
the county. The flax crop whlcl
will be harvested later this sum
mer is being greatly benefited b,
this weeks rain and another goo'
rain before they are cut will d.
still more good. The early fla,
crop has suffered because OF lacl
of rain.
