WILL WORK IN SMALL SCALE THIS SEASON
 STATES JOHN HERSHEY
With plans laid to work on small

With plans laid to work on a small scale this season, John Hirshey. pioneer of the Hope mining district, over in the Sunrise territory of Turn again Arm, came in from Seattle Saturday on the s. s. Aleutian and expects to have his operations going by June 1. He and his partners of the Lucky Strike Mining Company figure on working eight men and will operate five stamp mill on the Lucky Strike claim. From small amount of development work done last summer they believe they have enough ore in sight to keep them go- ing all this season.
 We have three tunnels on the property which has been worked in termittently for several years, but we have encountered some good show ings although the ore is bunchy and it is hard to average up either quan- titles or values"
 MT Hirshey said he had heard in Seattle, where he spends his winters, that the Harper Brothers were open ing up the St Louis Mining company placer ground with Hydraulic out fit. It is also understood that the Mathison hydraulic ground has been leased to some eastern parties for immediate work and that Ed Belmont will do some work with his hydraulic plant on Bear creek, all in the Hope district.
 MT. Hirshey, who was accompanied North by Mrs. Hirshey, departed to- day for the camp.

Montana Senator Cuts Wide
Swath in Gopher State. Lum-
Der Interests Are Valuable.
WILL STAY WITH
PEOPLE OF MONTANA

Minneapolis.-Senator Charles E.
Taylor of Montana is being seriously
considered here as a candidate for
governor of Minnesota on the Farm
er-Labor ticket. Although he is a
state senator in Montana he is a ma
tive son of the Gopher state and has
extensive family and industrial ties
here. For the past two years he has
spent a great deal of his time in his
native state experimenting work on
the very valuable timber crop on his
wife's' homestead. He has made con-
necteions with the lumber interests in
the Twin Cities who have backed
their finance against his judgment
and the timber resources which he
controls.
Lath Mill
The result is that one of the biggest
lumber commission houses in Mime
apolis has agreed to erect a lath mill
on Senator Taylor's property. This
mill will turn the raw lumber re-
sources of Mr.. Taylor's holdings into

COM
PANY TO SELL ICE
LESSREFRIGERATOR

A new company was formed the
past week for the purpose of selling
the Mystic Iceless refrigerator in four
Northeastern Montana counties. The
leading members of the new company
are Frank Fishbeck and Stanley Palu-
bicki.
A refrigerator has ben received and
is now on display at the Kavon Gar
age Show room.
The new refrigerator is claimed by
its makers to keep articles stored
therein at a very low temperature and
water is only needed to produce the
desired coOlneSs, pint or so being
placed every day in the top of the
refrigerator in pan which is covered
by Stats
This new invention will sell at S65
for the household size which is now
on display, and if the refrigerator is
the success which its makers claim
1t to be, it will be readily seen that
big sale is in store for the promot-
ers and agents. No ice is used and
no machinery is connected with it. The
sides are lined with a secret compo-
SitiOn which absorbs moisture and
keeps the temperature on the inside
at a low mark.
The last of this week will see the
new cooler ready for operation as it
takes about five days for the water
to cover the box and draw the temper
ature down ready for use.
Messrs. F'ishbeck and Palubicki are
very optimistic over the new refriger-
atOr and if it proves to be the sue
cess that it is claimed to be will sell
| like "hot-cakes."
The machines are now being manu-
factured at Great Falls for the state
of Montana.

Trial to Be Held Here
This means that the libel action in
stituted by Mr.. Torsteson against the
Helena editor will be tried in Sheri-
dan County unless damages are paid
and settlement arrived at before
the date set. 1t will be remembered
that shortly after the robbery of the
County Treasury, the Helena indie
pendent published a long speculative
article on the affair. This article was
declared to be very libelous by two of
Montana's ablest lawyers, Messrs.
Pease and Nolan, and shortly after, a
suit for 100000 was instituted
against Campbell and the Independ-
ent Company.
Campbell Journeys to Great Falls
Campbell journeyed to Great Falls
and hired Hurd, Rhoades & Hall to
defend him. This legal firm inter
posed the demurrer and asked for a
change of venue. Pease and Nolan
filed a motion asking that both be
dismissed by the judge for the follow
ing reasons: ~ That the motion and
demurrer should be called up for con-
sideration within the meaning of Rule
XIX of the district court. (2) That
the demurrer was frivolous and inter-
posed for the purpose of causing de-
lay. (3) That the stipulation enter
ed into between the attorney for the
plaintiff and defendant has been aban-
doned and preached by CampbelPs
lawyers.
Pease Files Affidavit
The matter was brought up in
Judge Pauls court by the filing of an
affidavit by Attorney Harlow Pease,

Leavitt Introduces Bill
1t is an open secret that Judge Geo.
Bourquin, who made an enviable repu
tation as a jurist all over the west
during his occupancy of the federal
bench, is favored for this appoint
ment. Representative Scott Leavitt,
who is the only elected representa-
tive of the people of Montana now in
Washington who has a chance of hav-
ing his bills passed, has introduced a
bill in congress which would pave the
way for Judge Bourquin's' appoint
ment. AS several states in the Rocky
mountain legal circuit have already
secured representation on the high
court in San Francisco the time is re-
garded as ripe for Judge Bourquin to
be elevated to this position.
Dietrich Got Last Appointment
The last appointment in the Circuit
Court of Appeals went to Idaho when
Judge Dietrich was appionted. Judge
Bourquin was then mentioned for the
place and notwithstanding the fact
that his judicial qualifications pre-
eminently fitting him for the position
were submitted to President Coolidge
and his cabinet the Idaho judge was
appointed because of the unwrltteI
law of political exegency. Idaho has
two important republican representa-
tives in the Senate and the influenc'
of the Montana senators in Washing
ton is known to be nil. Senator
Walsh has to resort to the expedlen

Taylor Talked of for Minnesota Governor
DAY TO
END WITH BIG DANCE,

The ladies of the community,
both in the country and towns are
working hard in connection with
Hospital Day to be held at the
Farmer Labor Temple in Plenty
wood, Saturday, February 18th.
The work is progressing nicely
and meeting with every success.
One doesn't need much explana-
tiOn of the plans for this year
when he recalls the success the
ladies had last year and this year
is to be even better.
The men have made an excel
; lent decision in putting on a COM
binatiOn of Olde Tyne dances as
well as the modern ones. There
will be two Orchestras so there
will be no lack of music. We Un-
; derstand Mr.. DeSilva is going to
make a large poster of the pro-
gram and place it on the wall
next to the stage so it can be
seen from all parts of the hall
and the arrangements of the
dances will suit everyone we are
sure.
II is hoped that the weather
man will be especially good that
day, but even if the weather is
not the best it should not keep
anyone home as all of the "dO-
ings" day and evening, will be in
side the large hall.
If indications count for any
thing, Hospital Day promises to
be one of the biggest events ev-
er held in PlentywoOd. From far
and near comes word of great ac-
tivity for the benefit of the local
institution of healing. The peO-
pie appreciate the fact that they
have a modern hospital in their
vicinity and are boosting Hospital
: Day to show their appreciation.

NATL. COMMANDER
DEMANDS PROBE


Minneapolis. - Emil Holmes. in
his sick bed in the Asbury Hos
pital here, today informed re-
pOrters that an attempt was be-
ing made to steal the most Nalu-
able power site in the West by
the Montana Power Company. Mr..
Holmes, who is National Com
mander of the World War Vet
Grams and received over 25O.OOO
votes in his campaign for Lieu
tenant Governor of Minnesota.
said that he would demand a con-
gressiOnal investigation of the
lobbying OF the Montana Power
company in the matter. He said
that the Flathead sites were more
valuable than Muscle Shoals and
that any Progressive Senator who
votes In favor of the Interior Ap-
preparation Bill containing the
clause giving the Power Commits
sion power to lease same will go
down to defeat in the next elec-
ton.
"In the last war the BOYS went
out and fought for this country"
said Mr.. Holmes. ''We were not
told that a group of politicians
would give away the most vain
able parts of the country named
to greedy corporate interests
give ample warning that I will
speak in every big center in the
Northwest States next summer
and any sO-called progressive
Senator who votes for the bill in
which this crooked clause Is in
: serted will have to justify his ac-

Coils, Sugar and Shots
On Sunday about noon Officer Cor
coran. accompanied by Under Sheriff
Robke, was in the COalridge country
to investigate the exploits of one
Dolphy Lobdell who was released by
Commissioner Belanski this week aft
er he was charged with having moon
shine, coils for a still and a truck
load of sugar.
The officers went to the place of
Pat Chapman who is alleged to have
taken sugar from LobdelIs truck
They found the sugar and at the same
time Steffens drove into Chapman s
yard with a team all lathered as if
coming from a long and strenuous
journey.
Steffens Runs
On seeing the officers Steffens
started to run. He was pursued.
He grabbed a horse out of the barn
and without saddle or bride turned
towards the open country a la Jesse
James. CorcOran commanded the fly-
ing hOrseman to stop but Steffens
just urged the steed forward. The
prohibition agent whipped out his
automatic and fired four shots in rap
Id succession. One of the shots
grazed the ear of the fugitive but he
had the start of the officers and es-
capped in the deep snow of the Coal
ndge country.
Steffens Arrested
Steffens was arrested by Sheriff
Salisbury in Plentywood Wednesday
and is still in the Sheridan county,

Although the big daily newspapers
of the state ignore the proposition
there is an undercurrent of specula-

to grab the water power that is be-
ginning to prove rather embarrassing
to the company ana some politicians.
lC is now known that after meeting
with some of the power officials Sen
atOr Wheeler was sent to the Flat
head reservation last summer to talk
to the Indians on the leasing of the
the Flathead power sites. Mr. Wheel

that the present government of the
United States would not favor public
ownership for the next fifty years.
He said that the Montana Power COM
