A Story of the /, ". W.

thing for some of the other boys Ny!
l saw one boy last night up here in
the hall with his teeth all black with
decay and stain. They looked as bad
as yours did
"Who was it?"
81 don't know his name. I'd never
seen him but once before. And
didn't know how he'd take my asking
him about his teeth. 1 haven't any
spare money just now but in a week
or so I'll have some more coming in.
l could do something for somebody in
that way, little something anyhow.
Of course I'm not rich"
Bjornson told her she was already
doing much, distributing literature,
going bail for political prisoners,
alternating herself from her family,
nevertheless using the respectable
prestige of her family's name for 1.
w. W. defense work.
You're doing lot as it is" ne re-
peated.

Feet were sounding on the stairs
outside the door, approaching the top
evenly, somewhat lightly. McFee en-
tered, looking at the group around the
room, saying in a matter-of-fac low
voice: Hello, fellow workers"
There's McFee," Biornson said to
Miss Atwood. 81 think he just got in
from Chicago"
McFee stood looking over the
group, waving to Bjornson, who said:
Hello, fellow worker"
Then to Miss Atwood Bjornson
said: 81 didn't think he'd remember
me. The only time McFee and l ever
met was in Chicago at the convention
two years ago. l wasn't even a dele
gate. l was last year but not that
time"

member faces that way" Miss At
wood said.
Yes; some of these characters are

guess it comes from spotting stool
pigeons"
McFee was standing rolling a CT
garet, talking with the group, saying
Haywood would be in town about Z
O'clock. The meeting in Toledo two
nights before had been encouraging
although the permit to use the hall
they wanted there was cancelled at
the last minute.
The Toledo police were at the door
when Haywood arrived" McFee said
but Haywood was master of the sit
uation, master of them ALL
Blornson called across to ask what
happened.
oh, he was master Of them ALL
McFee repeated Fellow workers.
Haywood said to the crowd outside
the hall, we've been film -fIammed
But we haven't been beaten. Wei
hold our meeting in the street. The
streets, they told me when | was g
kid in school, are public
And when the superintendent Of
police, who was there in person, tolc

then Haywood announced he had 8
better idea than that, by God.
Wen take over the old picnic
ground once again, Haywood said
-Coogan's Grove. I've been there
many time. It's just over the city
llne--just the spot"
McFee said they could have heard
Haywood's voice two blocks the way
ne doomed it out.
Richard Edmond asked if thew went
to the grove.
Did we go?" McFee asked. "You
bet We went. Haywood sang Out

went again. The committee got

We were all there.

"'These police officers you see
here, they've all had orders from
above to keep US out of this hail.
Haywood told the crowd before we
moved on. You all know what Above
is, don't your he asked all the stiffs.
Well he said, the head policeman
here is taking it on himself to keep
us off the streets besides. But the 1.

That's what the hand bills say, isn't
it? To Coogan's Grove, fellow work
ers! The streets in this town are too
narrow anyway
That's the way he put it out to
them," McFee said.
Edmond said by God that was good.
Torrey, Larson, Taliferro, Tyler,
Straus were sitting laughing with
boisterous approval. Miss Atwood and
Bjornson at the desk were smiling ap-
provingly also.
MY! 1t certainly is great when
things come off like that" she said.
81 wonder what will happen tonight
here"
McFee was coming their way.
"Bjornson is my name," Bjornson
said. You're McFee, 1 gather. This
is Miss Atwood, Fellow Worker At
wood. Have a chair. How are
things in Chicago?"
Bjornson pulled up chair for Nc
Fee.
$685." McFee said casually. "My
teeth have gone bad on me. NY Jaw
has been aching for three days now"
BJornson said: ,"Is that right? l
certainly know what that is all right"
"Yes," McFee said, my jaw kept
me awake most of last night"
ITS tough on a fellow all right :"
Bjornson said.
McFee looked brightly at Bjornson
saying: Yours look all right"
Eyes, l had mine yanked out the
other day-couldn't stand it any lon
ger. These here are phoney."
BJornson tapped front tooth with
his finger nail.
"Oh, l see. l wondered. l didn't
think they looked as if they were
bothering you much"
McFee laughed in a curious way at
BJornson, then at Miss Atwood.
~
Across the room Edmund was call
ing Bjornson: Come here. We've got
to settle something"
Pushing his chair back, avoiding
Miss Atwood's feet, Bjornson went
walking leisurely toward the group,
saying: 81 guess we'd better have the
other light on here. You fellows can't
see to talk"
Going to the wall, switching on an
other light, Bjornson sat down. Ed
mund was discussing arrangements
for the meeting-chairs, police, reso-
lutions, collection, leaflets, literature
! table.
At Bjornson's desk near the front
windows McFee and Miss Atwood
were left sitting looking into the
street. Noisy automobile horns, street
car bells, newsboy voices were dis
tinguishable in mufflsd clamor. Men
were sitting shoulder to shoulder on
stools along the white enameled coun-
ter in the brightly lighted Union Cot
fee House across the street. A few
doors away adjoining a lodging house
the yorktown Lunch also was filling
with men.
1t was late autumn. Western har-
vests were III. Wheat, oats, corn were
moving eastward from Kansas, Iowa
the Dakotas toward Minneapolis mills,
Duluth elevators. Lumber camps were
closing. Workers in those occupa-
tlons were gathering in cities for win
ter; freighting, hitch-hiking out of
TIMBER lands, prairie country toward
industrial centers.
Miss Atwood asked: GLOW long
have your teeth been bothering you,
fellow worker?"

BYNUM PROJECT
Is TURNED OVER
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY FINISHES
WORK ON IRRIGATION JOB
IN TETON
Directors Of District Accept bitches from
Winston Brothers of Minneapolis; viii
Water $1,000 Acres of Farming Land
Cost $95O,OOO to Build

Work on n BynUm irrigation prof.
ect, which has been under cOnstruC-
ton for the last two years, was formally
ended the other day and the project
was taken over by the directors of the
district from Winston Brothers, a Min
neapOlts construction firm, which was
awarded the contract for the project.
The project had been virtually COM
pleted for several days but before the
contractors turned it over to the irriga-
ton district water was run through all of
the canals M bitches to demonstrate
that the system would deliver water for
irrigation purposes in accordance with
the plans and specifications.
The Bynum dam, which lies south and
west OF the town Of the same name, has
a capacity Of 10000 acre feet, approx
mately the same amount that will be
stored when Gibson dam in Sun river
canyon is completed. There are 21,OOO
trr1gable acres IN the project and at
present 5000 are under cultivation. APP
proximately 10000 acre feet of water had
work was accepted.
About 20 per cent Of the water gath
cred and held by the Bynum dam is
used in the Brady irrigation district, but
the remainder is held for the 1000 acres
near Bynum. The entire cost of the irri-
cation system was $3.50, 900.
Construction work on the project was
under the supervision Of c.. G. Carey Of
Minneapolis representing winston
Brothers. F. B.. Winston, treasurer Of
the concern, was in the field for several
weeks before the work was completed.

MissOuIa Reminded
of Pioneer Days
Gold Coin ImfImx

Gold as a medium of exchange came
back in MissOula. 1t is said there was
more gold in circulation recently than
for a long time.
It was pay day at the Citizens Military
Training camp at Fort Missolua, when
the boys who had been at the camp,
received the equivalent Of their trans
portation home from the government.
Gold was used in making the payments,
and incidentally the railroads got most
Of the money. However, there were
many young men of the camp who had
money enough saved up for their trans
portation and held onto the gold pieces
Years ago there was much more gold
in circulation than now. Gold dust was
one of the first mediums Of exchange in
western Montana. Gold coins were
equally popular, but for many years they
have become more rare and since the
war the number in circulation has beer
considerably less than before.

ROADS ARE SET
TO MOVE CROPS
RAILWAYS IN NORTHWEST NOW HAVE
$4,000 CARS IN
RESERVE
Less Than B Per Cent of Grain Cars
Owned by Northwestern Lines are Dis
tributed Over Other Lines; Best Pre-
. pared Ever in History

Railroads Of the northwest are In a
better position than ever before to
transport the huge volume of grain
which Will be harvested this season, ac-
cOrdlng to the car service division of
the American Railway association, with
headquarters in Minneapolis.
The car service division estimates that
eight railroads serving the northwestern
states have in reserve more than $4,000
box cars suitable for moving grain on
their lines. A year ago there were only
$4,000 grain cars in reserve.
Less than 8 per cent Of the grain cars
owned by the northwestern roads are
scattered over other lines, it is estimated.
ana a umb Of the roads actually have
more cars available than they own.
The concentration of rolling stock in
the northwest at the present time will
result in marketing Of the grain crop
with efficiency n dispatch, railway and
Shippers association officials believe.
Grain car shortages were the rule in the
northwest during and immediately after
the haVest1ng seasons prior to 1923. In
1917, conditions were exceptionally bad
and 1T is estimated that the farmers lost
millions OF dollars because Of inability
TO obtain cars to handle their crops.
Since 1928 railways and shippers asso-
Citations have co-operated in concentrate
ing a surplus Of grain cars when most
needed and in bringing about prompt
loading and unloading Of cars at the
loading n marketing centers.
