ORIENTAL LIMITED
NOW MAKES STOP
AT CULBERTSON

Effective last Monday, the east
bound Great Northern Oriental limit
ed changed its schedule so as to stop
at Culbertson, discharging passen-
gers from west of Culbertson and
picking up passengers for points east
at which No. stops.
The Inauguration of the additional
service comes as a result Of the COM
bined efforts Of the Great Northern
officials and the Culbertson Com
mercial club.
The Culbertson Commercial club
two months ago sent petitions north
of town as far as Plentywood and
Scobey to be signed, asking that the
Great Northern make Culbertson a
regular stop for their through linn
tied on account Of the heavy passen-
ger travel out of Culbertson.
Formerly the Oriental Limited on
ly stopped at Culbertson to discharge
passengers from south of Havre,
making its stopping uncertain at this
point.
Comercial travellers will now be alb
lie to drive from Froid, the nearest
point on this branch, to Culbertson,
and make connections through to the
Atlantic coast with direct connections
at Chicago.

arm Tour Is
Well Attended

On August 7th a very interesting
Farm Tour was held in the northern
part of the county, with approximate
ly 200 farmers and farm women in
attendance. The tour started from
Outlook at 10 o'clock in the morning.
The first stop made was to see the
new-way harvester operate in a bar
ley field, this being the first demon
stration of this method of harvesting
in Sheridan county. A great deal of
interest was shown on the part of
those present.
Other stops were made to inspect
approved and registered grain fields,
variety tests and shelterbelts. One
of the most interesting variety tests
visited was that of Ceres wheat ver-
sus Marquis versus Montana King
wheat which was growing on the
Charles Grant farm south of Out
look.
During the stops at the different
demonstration plots, bulletins on pro-
Elm marketing and combining un-
svenly ripened grain were handed out
to the farmers and they were in
structed how to make samples to de-
termine the protein content of their
different fields prior to harvesting.
All those who were on this tour
we're we'll pleased with the days out
ing and were unanimous in saying
that the tour was the most success
full one of its kind ever staged in
Sheridan county.

SCOBEY MAN SERIOUSLY
INJURED IN AUTO WRECK

Lloyd Shoeweiler, wholesale to-
bacco dealer of Scobey, was perhaps
fatally injured early last Sunday
when the new Ford coach
he was driving failed to make the
turn over a railroad crossing just east
of Scobey, and crashed head-on into
a power line pole near the road. A
lady riding with him, whose name
was not learned, escaped with slight
bruises and a bad shaking up.
Apparently the car was going at
a high rate of speed upon approach
ing the turn, and in an attempt to
slow down, the driver applied the
brakes, akidding several yards out
side the road and crashing into the
pole in an attempt to negotiate the
turn.
Passengers of another car, coming
along shortly after the accident, no.
ticed the car beside the road, at first
thinking that nothing unusual had
happened, the car perhaps being out
of gas and left beside the road. How
ever, upon investigation, the unfor-
tunate victims were found pinned
in the wreck, and with the help of

Smith Opposed
to St. Lawrence
Waterway Plan

Election Of Herbert Hoover is nee
essary to insure completion of the
negotiations looking toward con-
struction of the st. Lawrence sea-
way, because Governor Smith is
bitter foe of the plan, Governor
Fred r. Zimmerman of Wisconsin de-
clares in a statement printed in the
Christian Science Monitor.
In the face of Mr.. Hoover's con-
tinuous effort to advance the project
from one stage to another, the demo-
cratic candidate for president con-
sstently has opposed it. The last
time he did so was in his annual
message to the New York legisla-
ture in which he favored the route
across New York which would cost
much more than the st. Lawrence,
be longer and of very doubtful value.
"If the northwest wants a water
way, it doesn't want Smith, and /
cannot imagine farmers in Wisconsin,
Michigan, Illinois, Iowa or Minnesota
supporting Smith in view of the fact
that they are aware that Hoover and
not Smith is the man to whom they
can look for the relief which would
be made available by the construc-
tion of such a waterway" the Wis
consin governor said.

other people who were coming from
the dance. succeeded in extracting
them from the wreck. The victims
were taken to the Humbert hospita!
in Scobey and physicians summoned.
Examination proved that both of
Shoeweiler's legs were broken, one
being shattered from the knee down,
the splintered bones protruding from
the flesh. He also was injured in
ternally and was badly cut up all ov-
er his body. Part of the flesh on his
thigh had been torn away. Aside from
a bad shaking up and a few bruises,
he lady was none the worse for the
* dent. She returned to her home
he next day, while Shoeweiler was
taken to bone specialist at Mime
apolis, in hopes of saving his legs.
Scobey physicians held little hopes
for Shoeweiler's recovery, the vic
tim being so badly injured that infec-
tion was almost sure to set in. Ac-
cording to DR.. Morrow, who helped
to dress the wounds of the injured
man, he will be crippled far life if
he recovers from the accident.
The car was totally wrecked by
the crash.

Local Team
Wins Two
(Sioux CITY Journal)

In two Of the fastest games played
at Stock Yards park this year, Happy
Felsch's All Stars defeated the Han
ford Eskimos Sunday afternoon by
scores Of 2 to l and to 3. Both
contests were played without a mis-
cue on the part of either team and
there were enough thrilling plays to
satisfy a major league scout who was
in the stands.
Doubles by Turne and Dode gave
the All Stars a run in the second inn
ing of the first game, but the Esk-
imos knotted the count in their half
of the frame on singles to Brandon
and Winkler, McCaff9ty's sacrifice
and Thacker's single.
Black Wins First Game
Black won the first game for the
visitors when he doubled in the ninth
after Foreman and Turine had singh
ed.
Foreman and Phillips both pitched
great ball, the former allowing six
hits and the latter eight.
Singles by Bowers and Hidden af-
ter which Black doubled put the Wis
itors out ahead in the fifth inning of
the afterpiece, two runs scoring. A
single by Happy Felsch, one by Fore
man and Dode's sacrifice fly gave
the All Stars another run in the sixth
Canton who, by the way, is bro
ther of the Canton who pitches for
Spencer, was going along like a big
Lacquer up to the seventh and it ap-
peared that the Eskimos hadn't a
chance They staged great rally in
the seventh inning, however, ham,
mering out four hits and scoring
three times to tie the score.
Watson singled and Tones hit q
long double into center field to score
the Eskimo shortstop. Brandon sin
gled over third base and Tones
scored. Winkler sacrificed Brandon
to second and he counted on Nc
Cafferty's single into left field.
The All Stars didn't hesitate about
deciding the issue. In the eighth, af-
ter Kruska beat out an infield hit
Felsch tripled against the right field
wall. Foreman then singled into
right field to count Felsch. Tones
started the Eskimo half of the inning
with a single, but he never reached
second base.
Fielding features were provided
by Black and Bowers, the visitors
keystone combination, and by Nc
Cafferty and Crouch for the Eski-
mos. Felsch, one of the greatest
throwers who ever played baseball
gave the fans an idea of his power
in the first game after making a put.

home about 10 feet off the groune
and it hoped into Kruska's mitt OF

This is commendable move on the
part of the commissioners. In many
places along the highways weeds and
gras7 grow so thick that the snow
piles in the roads several feet deep,
making travel next to impossible with
cars and other motor vehicles.
A few hours work with a team and
moving machine would rid the roads
of these snow catehers. If each
farmer would take it upon himself
to do this some time before the snow
flies, he would be helping himself as
well as others, in making the roads
vi Sheridan county passable in winter
months as we'll as in the summer.
If the county commissioners were
to hire a team or teams to do this
work, the expense would be consid-
cradle, while if each farmer would
NOW the weeds, brush, etc, border
ing his own land, the cost would be
practically nothing.
