0DCE LADIES ILL
GAS THOUGHT CAUSE
pN
he

the "
bae&caping gas from the furnace
the Kragrud hall is attributed
as the cause of the sudden illness
of a number of the members of
the Degree of Honor lodge who
were stricken on the evening of
the installation of the new officers
last week.
Mrs. Martin Mitchell, who was
alone in the hall at about seven
ieIclock, finishing preparations for
the banquet, was the first one
stricken. She became suddenly
and violently i'll, but succeeded in
reaching the Westland Oil station
where a taxi was called to take
her home. Later in the evening
Miss Beulah Torrison was taken
i'll the same way, and was rushed
home. More than half the ladies
present were affected with severe
headaches, dizziness and nausea
Among those most seriously affect
ed were Mrs. Ben Anderson, Mrs.
Chas. Warmbrod, Miss Maud Kel-
logg. Nearly all OF the victims
have recovered.

OFFICERS FIND
EAST-END STILL
SEEKING TO AID DESTITUTE
FAMILY, STUMBLE ONTO
EVIDENCE

Trailing the unlicensed slayer of
deer in the brush near Snowden
led to the discovery of case of
destitution such as is seldom met
with in the county. Incidentally
small size still was uncovered
E. R. Krost, deputy state game
warden, trying to find out who had
been killing deer, came upon the
family and reported it to the
county officials. A. M. Foor, coun-
ty attorney, John Iwen, deputy
sheriff and Commissioner George
Leeson accompanied Mr. Krost to
the place which served as shelter
In the 8x10 houseboat there were
living J. A. Grosvenor. 40 and his
three children, Mildred who claims
to be 18, but who looks not more
than ID, Dale, 12 and Verle s.

Der of the household A leanto
just big enough for a bed was
built onto one side of the 8x10
structure. A mattress laid on some
boards formed the bed of the
three children, while the men slept
on the floor.
When the investigating party
arrived the men were found lying
on their floor hunks and the girl
was in bed, while the little boys
were out in the woods getting fuel
with which to build fire
Came Down River
The family claims to have come
from Norton, Kansas, originally.
They foated down the Missouri
last fall, reaching Snowden in
October. There they pulled up on
shore and made ready for the
winter. The clothing of the ia
mily was scantv and apparently
none of them had a change of un-
derwear. The cooking utensils
and dishes were old and battered,
such as might have been salvaged
from dump heap.
Still in Cellar
In looking around the officers
observed a light coming through a
crack in the floor Investigating
they found a dug-out under the |
house with a 25-gallon still, a
stove and about $50 gallons Of
mash. The men were arrested |
and brought to Wolf Point, where /
they are in Jail under $500 bonds. |

up last years business and taking
care of important interests of the
community that have recently
come up.
AT a meeting of the directors held

nual business meeting of the club
was set for Jan. 20 at eight p. m.
at the Sherman hotel. President
w. L. Young and the directors
urgently request a full attendance.
Expense bills incident to the

Station KICK
The project of securing the re-
moval of broadcasting station
KGCX from Vida to Wolf Point
was considered. c. M. Hamblin,
e. E. Krebsbach, was
present and said that Mr.. Krebs-
bach was willing to bring the sta
tion to Wolf Point after he has
come here himself to take up his
business duties, although he had
several offers from other towns.
New equipment, Mr.. Hamblin
said, would be necessary to make
the station adequate to the local
needs and give it a wider radius
high towers, new generator, and
other essential equipment. These
and the labor installation would
amount to about $500 and it was
voted that local business concerns
who would have the opportunity
to use the station should furnish

BIG WHEAT TRAIN
GETS ATTENTION

The low-cost wheat production
ern machinery and equipment used
in modern wheat production,
which is being operated in north
ern and central Montana, and
which will be in Wolf Point Jan.
%, is attracting much attention at
all it's one day stands A stop is
made at each wheat producing
center in the district and the
machinery and equipment carried
is exhibited daily to the farmers
attending the agricultural meet
ings at the different points on the
schedule.
The machinery exhibits consist
of tractors, plows, drills, cultiva-
tors, harvesting equipment, corn
planters and listers, haying mach
inery, seed grain cleaning and
treating equipment.
The tractor exhibits consist of
two general types, the wheeled
and crawler in different sizes.
There will be two three-plow
tractors, two four-plow, three six
plow, and one general purpose
farm tractor
Two types Of plows will be ex-
hibited, the disc and the mold
board, and a plow-drill, combin-
alton Of plow and drill in one
unit.
The planting equipment will
consist of press and double disc
drills for small grains, a three
and fve-row lister and a four-row
planter for corn
A special exhibition coach is
carried with the train for the pur-
pose of showing the different
grain varieties, summer tillage,
windrowing operations, pedigreed
seed and it's value, and dyna-
mometer, a device for testing the
pull of tractors.
The exhibits carried on the
train are up-to-the-minute mach
ines and equipment that have
proved themselves essential to
low-cost wheat production. The
machines cover thoroughly every
power need and every mechanical
device tested by experiment that
may prove an important factor in
the competitive wheat struggle
that is facing Montana growers.

MISSOURI FLOW
BEING MEASURED
FLOOD CONTROL SURVEY GO.
ING ON IN VARIOUS
DISTRICTS

w. j.. Parsons of the United
States geological survey was in
Wolf Point the first of the week
taking measurements from which
he will compute the flow of water
in the Missouri river. This work
is being done at various points
along the Missouri as part of
the survey which is being made
to secure data for use in connec-
tion with Mississippi flood control.
The federal government is doing a
great deal of work along this line,
said Mr.. Parsons.
1t takes from month to six
weeks for water to flow from here
into the Mississippi flood region,
so that our annual June rise is of
little moment by the time it
reaches the Mississippi, for it
comes along after the Ohio and
other rivers farther south have
passed food tide Heretofore it
has been the custom to measure
the water in the Mississippi only
when it was at it's highest in the
summertime This had little value
in connection with flood control,
but by taking measurements now
it will be possible to form an esti-
mate of the amount that will be
poured into the Mississippi the
latter part Of February or first of
at about the time the Ohio
river goes on a rampage in the
spring.
In order to compute the flow Of
the river it was necessary to cut
holes through the ice at various
points and take soundings to fnd
the depth of the water. TIE vel
ocity of the water is also found
and from the figures taken it is
possible to work out the flow of
the river.
Mr.. Parsons says that there are
several districts where this flood
control survey work is being car
-ied on. The Helena office is
headquarters for the district COM
Drising Montana, North and South
Dakota and Wyoming. The dis
rict comprising Wisconsin and
is handled from Madi-
son, Wis. and so on.

LAST SESSION
OF FOUR SHOWS

The news story below, sent by
the Malta correspondent to the
Great Falls Tribune, describes
some of the features of the last
day the four annual shows, the
State and Northern Montana corn
shows, the Northern Montana Dis
trict Poultry show, and the State
Pure Seed show, which were held
in conjunction January 9-12, at
Malta:
"The afternoon program, with
M. A. Bell of the Havre experiment
station; Chancellor M. A. Brannon
of the greater university, and L.
D. Kurtz, agronomist of the State
college, filled the courtroom with
a crowd.
"Dr. Brannon dealt with bene-
fits received by the state, and
Philips county, in particular, from
school money, both in county and
state schools. He brought out the
fact that while the people of Phil
lips county paid $4,000 into the
state school money, they received
back $4,000 spent in this county
through state work done here or
in benefit to students at state in
stitutions.
"The chancellor briefly outlined
suggested plans for maintaining
revenues of the greater university
with an average increase to each
average farmer taxpayer of only
$3.50 each He brought vividly to
the audience the benefit received
by them by experimental work of
all lines done under the super
listing the growing appreciation of
educational and experimental work
by the public with the increasing
use of large business activities of
scientific investigation and the
growing realization of big business
that the increasing of educational
opportunities results in increased
opportunities and development for
business organizations.
IL. D. Kurtz told briefly of the
166 registered seedgrowers of the
state, the SAB growers of registered
alfalfa seed who produced this
last year 100000 pounds of alfalfa
seed, and the 131 approved seed
growers, showing that Montana
seed products are widely distri-
buted this year, going as far south
as Kansas and as far east as New
York.
"He cautioned against every one
going into the seed production end,
stating that it required high bust
ness ability and great personal in
tegrity, for the man as we'll as
the seed must be certified. But
the matter of prime Importance
was, he said, for each man to keep
his own seed up good, so the
average quality will not fall
down"

MONT. QUALITY
AT FOUR SHOWS
MALTA TOOK CARE OF CORN,
SEED AND POULTRY EX-
HIBITS LAST WEEK

Quality shone forth from every
table, every pan and basket at the
corn and seed shows held at Nal
ia last week. And there was quail
ity in resplendent abundance in
the many pens at the district as
sociation's annuul poultry show
Every variety of grain and seed,
every breed of poultry, supplied
added proof that Montana's chief
claim to distinction as an agricul-
tural state rests in the quality Of
the products she produces.
The grain, corn and seed was
we'll displayed in the wide cor
odors of Phillips county's beauti-
full $150,000 court house. The
quantity was considerably less
than at the six or seven proceed
ing shows. This was because the
county agents deemed best to
stress quality rather than quaint
ity. There were plenty of ex-
