ANOTHER CRISIS
IN PARLIAMENT

DUBLIN, Ireland Aug. IL R-The
As Eamon de Valera republicans,
elected at the last general election,
made their first appearance in the
dali eireann today, but the expected
crisis in the political situation did
not materializei 1t was postponed
until Tuesday, when labor motion
Of non confidence in the Cosgrayc
government is scheduled for debate.
The proceedings of the dali lacked
the anticipated sensations and the
conflict among the various parties was
not brought to head. The sitting
failed to reflect the admitted gravity
OF the political crisis and de Valera
himself sat silent and absorbed
throghout, saying nothing.
NO ill feeling was evident on any
side and in the lobbies de Valeras
colleagues, members of the fianna fail
party, exchanged salutations with
of President Cosgrave's
party, old friends in tie fight years
ago against the British.
The ministers appeared in good
spirits and President Cosgrave him.

700 MEN FIGHT
FOREST FIRES
IN NORTHWEST

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. IL R)-
Eight large fires were rampant and
700 men were fighting them today in
the Columbia national forest, bordering
on the Columbia river in Washington.
The fresh outbreak occurred in spite
OF the rain which fell over most
of washington and much Of Oregon
yesterday. Only light showers in e.
few spots fell in the Columbia forest
area, however, and these were said
to be of little value to the fire
fighters.
Forty men joined the forest crews
on the Lost Creek fire today. The
only information received at United
States forest service headquarters here
today concerning this or any other
Of the Columbia fires was that there
was virtually no change. The other
conflagrations are known as the Rock
creek, Silver creek, Green river, Little
White Salmon river, Siouxon, SquaW
Butte and Hungry peak fires.
Because of the improvement of the
fire situation in other seriously men-
Iseed forests, the forest service said
today that the outlook was slightly
more favorable" Rain fell more
copiously in many northern forests
Light showers dampened flames in
the Olympic national forest and had
some effect on the serious Storm King
fire near Lake Cushman. This fire
is in high, precipitous country and
is difficult to fight.
Showers fell in the Wenatchee for
est and the Roaring creek fire was
reported under control after it had
spread over 900 acres.

1929 BUDGET TO
PROVIDE MONEY
FOR NAVY WORK

RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. IL P)-
Sufficient funds for the first, years
work on all naval craft authorized,
including the six cruisers which cong
ress asked for last winter, will be
included in next years estimates,
Brig. Gen. Herbert M. Lord, director
of the budget declared today upon
his arrival for conference with
President Coolidge.
The only exception, he said, will be
the three submarines authorized N
1916 on which some experimental
work is still to be done.
General Lord was of the opinion
! that the estimates to be presented
to congress this fall would be within
the $3,3OO0OO000 mark set by Presl'
dent Coolidge last June.
He added, however, that the de-
partments had asked $l25,0Oo,OOO over
| this figure and it would be up 20
MIR. Coolidge to decide how much Oh
this was to be requested OF congress
The estimates will include a re-
quest for $125,OOO to begin work on
the Washington airport at Gravelly
Point, Va, Mr.. Lord, said
The director declared there un-
doubtedly would be some unusual re-
quests figuring in the estimates and
that it was entirely up to President
Coolidge what would be done about
these.
At the summer white house today,
il was said President Coolidge hoped
the expenditures for next year might
be held to So, 100000 but that it
seemed doubtful that this could s-I

DROWNING HORSE IS

A remarkable exhibition of
horse sense was demonstrated last
Sunday morning. About o'clock,
ED Lynd and family who live south
of Brockton heard one of their
horses neighing near the door At
the time little attention was paid
to the early caller but in the
course of an hour or so Ed went
outside to find out what was
wrong. Only one horse was in
sight and it seemed very impa-
tient. Slipping a halter on it Ed
was led by the horse down to a
hole in the ice where its mate
"Dan" was struggling for its life.
Some men on the Brockton side
of the river hurried to help. A
rope was secured to the drowning
animal and it was soon landed
safely ashore It's mate gave every
evidence of gratitude to the res
cuers as we'll as joy over the mar
row escape of its mate Dan

Be Held AT Bainve, March 24-25-Danels, Sheri-

Wolf Points representative at
the State Corn and Seed Show, at
Sidney, saw the finest quality of
exhibits ever gotten together in
the state. Positive proof that Mon
tana grows corn with consistent
success, and in many grains and
grasses and potatoes, produces
registered, certified and approved
seed that is becoming the coun-
try's standard of quality.
Besides offering the public
view of these wonderful exhibits,
the occasion was important be-
cause of the presence of Chancel-
lor Brannon of the Montana uni
versity and an imposing delega-
tion from the State college at
Bozeman The addresses given and
the programs carried out were re-
plete with the practical economics
of modern farming being broad
cast through organized extension.

conference this seven-county meet

northeast district are Valley, Dan

sented and Agent Warden of Roos-

not vote. Each county made the
plea of convenience to its farmers
in attending the conference.

finally. Daniels, Sheridan and Rich

GET THE BASKETBALL
RECORDS STRAIGHT

Recent basketball reports ap-
pear to need Strengthening. The
Antelope team played the Wolf
Point high team here last Friday
night and were defeated by score
of II to II. There was no ques-
tion about the result. Several
hundred people saw the scores
made and placed on the blackboard
and the Antelope coach made no
protest before leaving for home.
Then they sent the Great Falls
Tribune a story to the effect that
they had won IA to 13. o. B. Hoven
of Antelope who is given as au-
thority for the story in the Tri-
bune is mistaken about the score
which is proven in another way
by the fact that Antelope made
three points on free throws, so
their score could not be II regard
less of how many field baskets
they made or think they made.
While on the subject it should
be said that the Wolf Point team
has not been defeated this season
and the team that Nashua is
boasting about having defeated
was part of the second string and
part of the third string players.
The game was played at Nashua
the same night that Wolf Points
first team was beating Antelope
here. There is no desire to take
any credit from either Nashua or
Antelope. but these are the facts.
