new, went up in the smoke.
Origin Unknown
The fire of unknown origin broke
out about half past six, just after the
store had been closed and the clerks
left for the night. 1t started in the
workshop and quickly spread to the
entire building. There were several
explosions when the fire reached the
gas tanks on the cars throwing burn
ing gas to all parts of the garage.
There was much combustible materials
in the hardware store which contrib
uted to the fury of the flames.
The fire department responded
quickly, but owing to the fact that
the hydrants were found &c be frozen
solid they were unable to do much
until after it and the water mains had
been thawed out, though they did
what they could with the chemicals
until the supply was exhausted.
1t is reported that the Battleson
Company which has huge business
lin the ScObey territory will rebuild
and will start on their new building
which will be of brick and concrete
construction and modern in every
way, just as soon as the weather will
permit.
The Battleson Company was SEQ
beys' leading mercantile enterprise,
having started there a number of
years ago and enjoyed extraordinary
prosperity ever since, growing from
small beginning to be one of the
largest business establishments in
northeastern Montana.
While the loss is reported to be in
the sum of 100000 or more, the firm
is reported to be in a financial con-
dition to be able to stand this tre-
mendous loss and continue in business.

and tn coil prospects for northeastern
Montana.
Speaks at 0rpheum Theatre
Dr.. Olson delivered a lecture at the
0pheum Theatre last Friday after
noon in which he went into the the

and spoke very interestingly on the
subjects of PaleOntology and Miner
OlOgy and allied sciences and discuss
ed at some length the several instru-

vented to assist in the location of pc
tOleum and determining its depth.
Doctor Compliments Pioneers
Dr. Olson is also a noted inventor.
He stated that as a result of investi-
cations carried on by him he was
prepared to state that great rewards
awaited those drilling with the cour-
age to go down to it. And at this
point he took occasion to pay a great
compliment to those whose vision and
aintlrng efforts had resulted in the
lRa exploration of these fields.

P. I. A. TO MEET
FRIDAY AT ORPHEUM

The Parent-Teachers' Association
will meet in regular session on Fri
day evening of this week, February
24th. The meeting will be held at the
Orpheum Theatre instead of the
school house. This change has been
brought about because of the combin-
ing of the Annual High School Decla-
nation Contest with the meeting of
1927 there was so much unemploy-
admission fee of 25 cents will be
charged to all who attend. The pro-
ceeds will be used to defray expenses
of the contest.

election instigated by the enc
mics of the industrial program
of the Nonpartisan League and
was defeated by r. A. Nestos of
Minot. In 1922, however, the
good folks of North Dakota re-
pented and sent Frazier to the
u. S. Senate.
Strong Ticket Named at Bismarck
A strong ticket was named by the
Nonpartisans at their recent Bismarck
convention. 1t is generally admitted
that it is the best ticket that has
ever been placed in the field by the
progressive forces of the Flickertail
state. I. H. Thoreson, of Dunn Cen
ter was endorsed fo Grovernor, over
Lieutenant Governor Walter Maddox
of Plaza. Thoreson is considered a
strong man. He is at present state
tax commissioner, having been ap-
pointed to that position by Governor
A. G. Sorlie. Obviously Mr.. Thore-
son has the Sorlie support, but he is
equally strong with the supporters of
Senator Frazier.
The candidates named for the office
Of ATTORNEY General and Commission
er of Agriculture and Labor are well
known and capable men. William

ZIONIST SOCIETY IS 25 YEARS OLD
Celebration Tomorrow Evening
 in Hebrew School Hall

The New Britain Zionist district will celebrate the 18th anniversary of the first permanent Zionist or ganization in this city, by meeting to be held in the Hebrew school hall tomorrow evening.
 In 1899, shortly after the first Zionist congress. which was called by Dr. Ilerzel in Basle. Switzerland. the first organization was formed in this city which existed about two years. In 1905 after the third Zion lst congress steps were taken again to build a local o, ganzation and in May. 1903, the Sons Of Zion was founded here. The founders were Louis Cans Louis Edelson. Ralph Myerson. Abraham F.isenberg, Ma than Gamson. David Gordon and Dr. Morris s. Dunn. Since that time 1 the history has been continuous one,
 The organization was instrumental Tn organizing societies in other cities in the state. The Hartford society was organized by representatives of the New Britain Sons of Zion. In 1oee when the national organization
 was organized the Sons of Zion be- came a unit in the new plan with tho name of the New Britain Zionist district. The local committee is try ing 10 arrive at the total amount forwarded from New Britain to- wards the p-builliny of the Jewish | national homeland and will present
 the figures at the meeting tomorrow night. From available records it 1. learned that very considerable sums i amounting to thousands Of dollars

DISCOVER GIRLS
 BODY IN WOODS
Missing Youngstown, Ohio, Girl
 Located at Last

Youngstown, O.. May 2s LP-The search for 10 year old Beatrice Ros- senbaum. who disappeared from her home here just two weeks ago. was at an end today. The girls body had been found. but authorities still were at loss to explain the cir cumstances of her death.
 Coroner NJ. l.. Hayes and his as- sistant surgeon. Dr. F. w. McNama- "a, said after an autopsy completed early today that the girl had died from starvation and exposure and probably had been dead four or five days.
 Body In Rasine
 The body, found late yesterday in . wooded rayine near Salem. O., 16 miles from Youngstown, was brought Here last night for the au- topsy
 Coroner Hayes said there were no marks of violence or indications that the girl had been assaulted She had been without food for days and her feet were swollen and crack ed as If exposed to water, he said.
 Police had inclined to the theory the girl had been kidnapped and then taken to the wooded place near the farm of Mr. and Mrs. John Lip iatt where her body was found by two sons of the Lipiatts.
 The coroner added, however, that in his opinion the girl could not have wandered afoot the 16 miles because of foot deformity. He said she must have been noticed and proba- ply taken to that vicinity by some passing motorist.
 Police today however. continued to follow up indications that the girl might have been kidnaped, held captive and then left to die.

BOND MARKET IS DULL AND HEAVY
Buying Activity All Centers
 on Copper

Now York. May os tP--The bond market was dull and featureless under light trading today. Buying activity centered on the coppers, while other industrials. rails and utilities were inactive.
 Announcement that new govern ment financing is expected shortly was taken in bond circles to mean either that the offering will take the form of long-terIn notes or that the treasury is of the opinion that money rates will become easier in the near future. It was the general belief. however. that long term bonds yielding about 3 3-S per cent would be offered.
 Continued favorable reports from the copper industry encouraged buying of Anaconda and Andes cop- per 1s.

 Cleveland. O.. May c6 Think of flying from Berlin to New York, a distance of 4ooo miles, in an hour
 Of sailing through rarefied air at a maximum speed of 45oo miles an hour
 Of reaching a height Of sl miles above the earth's surface
 And you hace the future picture. according to present predictions. of the rocket-moto airplane this is even now in the first stage of con- struction.
 The rocket plane is the ultimate goal Of the builders of motor that Is propelled by a series Of rocket explosions similar to those of . rocket pinwheel shooting into the air It has just been applied near Berlin to an automobile which attained speed of 125 miles an hour within 45 seconds of its start. and which may attain a speed far greater than ever reached by man in such a vehicle.
 This is the unique idea of Fritz von Open. German auto racing champion, who has been colla bo- rating with the German airplane and motor builders. Raab and Kat zenstein. in the construction of his rocket motor and it's application first 10 automobiles and ultimate ly to airplanes.
 Revolutionary as this might sound. however. it is taken quite seriously not only by Non Opel and his coworkers. but by several European scientists. who have long been comtem plating similar idea In fact, the Russian soviet govern ment. it is said, has appropriated $250.O0o to finance a Moscow scien. tist for experiments of this kind.
 The idea of attaining excessive speeds and great heights, beyond the capabilities of present engines has forced eXperimenters 10. enter tain the principle of rocket mo- tor. This would be a motor thai would force a body outward from the earth at tremendous speed much as an explosion does to fire works rocket.
 It Is believed this is the principle of the German rocket motor al though the inventors are reticen1 about the matter. Max Nalier, the Munich inventor, has long been fig.
New Britain herald., 1928-05-28

uring on this type of motor to pro- pei an airplane almost at lightning speed across the Atlantic.
 Vaiicr has reduced his theories to practical figures. from which he concludes a trip from Berlin to New York could be made in a little more than an hour.
 At the beginning of such a trip. says Waller, the rocket airplane would2 have 10 contend with the resistance of the atmosphere and therefore could be aided in its in- itial progress by pair of propel- lers
 Shooting up into the air at an angle of 70 degrees, however. the rocket airplanc could reach height of nine miles in less than a minute. At this height. the at- mosrhere would be so rare as 10 make the propeller practically worthless as means of pulling the plane along and the ship would have to depend entirely for its further progress on the series of explosions of rockets in this pe- culiar motor.
 l The extremely thin air. how ever. would relieve the ship of so much resistence that if could at tain a speed of $500 miles an hour in few seconds.
 At a height of sl miles above artI ,I ,11, altitude actually attained by man. Vaier figures the airplane could continue to go on an even keel parallel with the earth at a speed of 45oo miles an hour. A bullet fired from . rife would go only half as fast.
 The rocket shop could reach this altitude at distance of only 43 miles from it's source and in a min ute and 40 seconds. In less than an hour the ocean could be crossed. and the plane could glide slowly down to earth The gliding process would takc longer than the actual flight. The fact that human beings cant live in so rarefied atmosphere as that which exists 31 miles above the earth, doesn't bother the advocates of the rocket airplane. They explain that the ship could have an alright cabin, for both pilot and passengers, in which the oxygen content will al ways remain the same as that on the earth's surface. The passengers therefore would feel no ill effects of mounting to so great height.
 Additional oxygen tanks might also carry oxygen for combustion of the rockets.
