FIRE SWEEPS WOODS
NORTH OF POPLAR
Poplar Standard

Fire, caused by dropping a
match in a hay field, swept a
small area of the woods north of
town last Thursday, destroying a
stack of feed, considerable pasture
land, and a group of trees and
bushes bordering the river road.
1t is reported that the blaze
originated when governments en-
ployees working in the govern
ment field, about half a mile east
of Frye and Company headquart-
ers, dropped a match in the grass.
Everything was completely dried
out and the fire swept rapidly
across the field and into the
bushes and trees adjacent to Pop
lar river. Green shrubs and tree
tops burned as fast as though
gasoline had been poured over
them.
The fire was stopped on the
north and east by the roads pass
ing the field. For a time it threat
ened to work south into a wheat
field and eventually into Legion
Park, but this was prevented by
workmen present, who plowed a
wide break across between the
fire and the field.

PROTEIN AVERAGE
FOR JULY is LOW

The protein premium I
for July this year was the lowest
it has been in the last five years,
says e. ]. Bell, marketing econo-
mist for the Montana experiment
station. The large carry-over of
high protein wheat, prospects of
shriveled wheat with high protein
content from the spring wheat
area of the United States and the
high average of Kansas wheat al
ready on the market this year
have contributed to this down
ward trend.
Economists differ on the future
trend and Mr.. Bell states that the
only way in which any degree of
accuracy can be assured in MAX
ing forecasts is to watch for sub
sequent reports as a guide.
The average July premium for
1870 protein in 1925 and 1927 was
lac, in 1926 it was tic and in 1928
it rose to CSC. The average for
July this year was about &c. Pre-
miums for 1870 wheat has dropped
4c during the past month and 14%
wheat dropped &c.
The large carry-over of high
protein wheat has made the mil
lers slow to bid on this years

In SOLITARY CELL
FOR FIFTY YEARS

One can't imagine how it would
seem to be shut away from the
world entirely, in solitary confne-
ment for over fifty years. 1t is
an impossibility to image the
C h anges and advances that
would be taking place. Jesse H.
Pomeroy experienced a number of
queer sensations when he was
taken out into the world once
more after having been shut away
for over half a century. When a
lad of seventeen, Pomeroy was
sentenced to be hanged for the
murder of three children in Mas
sa~chusetts. Because of his youth,
the sentence was committed to
solitary Imprisonment for life. He
is now an old man of seventy.
From the time he was imprisoned,
until last Thursday, August 1,
Pomeroy has had no glimpse of
the world outside the solitary
cell. Because of his recent fail
ing health, he was ordered trans
ferred to the safe prison farm.
He was taken to the farm by
motor, his first ride in an auto
mobile. He was rendered speech
less by the advances that the
world has made during the fifty
years he spent in prison. His
sensations were not of the joyous
type, for he was decidedly disap-
pointed by the absence of horses.
Enroute to the farm he was per-
to watch an a%irplane, the
first he ever saw, take off from
the air port. In his amazement
and wonderment, he was unable to

understand their use. He will

high protein crop and there is a
possibility that bakers may be
content with 11% flour instead Of
the standard 11.50%. In 1928
when the base price was high,
bakers of the southwest accepted
flour with 11% protein rather than
pay a higher price.
Wheat marketed in Kansas July
1-20 averaged 1859 protein.
Last minute reports from this
area for the remainder of July
showed an average of 12.23% as
compared with 1882 for 1928

Cottonwood All Club
Enjoys 2 Day Outing
(By a Club Member)

The Cottonwood All Sewing
club held their last meeting at the
home of Ruth and Life Fossen on
Thursday, August LIST.
The All club enjoyed a two
days outing on the Poplar river.
They left July oath and returned
Friday morning.
The first happening of the day
was a morning dip which made
u blood fairly Jingle. The girls
took turns in cooking the meals
and washing dishes. The appel
ties of the girls seemed to in
crease at each meal. Each eve
ming one of the girls played a
banjo and we sang club songs and
hymns after which we retired.
Our beds, of course, were not
very comfortable but that made
it all the more enjoyable as we
could stay awake and talk half
the night. We all wished we
could stay a few days longer.
The girls are sewing on dresses
in the club. They intend to send
their garments to the Culbertson
fair.
The All club will have their
Achievement Day program OF the
31st of August. The program
committee will meet the End at
the home of lola Seth.
The next meeting will be held
at the home of Corinth Saunders
on August 18th.

MAY BUILD GAS
LINE TO EAST

Saco.-The directors of the Big
Dome Oil & Gas company met
with the Jones Oil company at
Williston recently, and a deal
was closed by the Jones Oil COM
pany, a subsidiary of the Montana
Dakota, to use gas from the Big
Dome oil field.
At least ten gas wells are to be
drilled within the next year, and
as many more as the Big Dome
Oil & Gas company can drill.
A six-inch pipe will convey the
gas to Malta and Glasgow, and
possibly as far east as the Dakota
line.
During 1880 a pipe line is to be
laid from Chester to the Twin
Cities and on to Duluth, supply
ing gas for fuel to the big iron in
dustries in Minnesota.
The Big Dome structure, locat-
ed Is miles north of Saco, is the
largest oil and gas dome in the
United States, and the gas from
this dome will supply Malta and
Glasgow this winter.
The six-inch pipe line laid this
fall to Malta and Glasgow, and
possibly east to the Dakota line,
will be permanent and used ex-
clusively to convey gas to the
towns through which it passes.
The main pipe line from Chester
to the Twin Cities will be much
larger and will occupy a separate
ditch.-Saco Independent.

PLANT MEN PLAY
IMPORTANT ROLE
In BELL SYSTEM
Over 100000 Are Employed in
Telephone Construction
and Maintenance

Because of the rapid expansion
and progress in the telephone in
dustry throughout the country, the
work of the Plant Department Of
the Bell System presents important
and difficult problems which are in
creasing in magnitude and complex
lty. For it is the men of the Plant
Department who build and main.
tain the system of wires and switch
boards and other apparatus that
makes it possible to send the hu.
man voice almost anywhere in the
country at any time.
They are the men who install the
telephone equipment in Office and
home; who splice the thousands of
wires in the cables beneath the
streets and along the highways;
who keep the lines of communica-
ton open. They are the guardians
of these circuits-the wire chiefs
and testers in central offices, the
linemen who brave billiards. and
storms, the maintenance men who
guard the equipment and see that
it is kept in proper condition, the
trouble men who are on the job
whenever anything goes wrong,
often restoring service before the
average subscriber knows that any
thing at all had happened.
Thus the Plant Department in the
Bell System employs a large force
of men with a wide diversity of oc-
cupation.
At the beginning of 1929 there
were more than 10000 men en-
ployed in the Plant Department of
the Bell System throughout the
country.
Throughout the Bell System the
Associated Companies have at the
head of their Plant Department y
general plant manager who is in
of all the Plant Department
activities. Reporting to him are a
line and staff organization. This
organization has for its response
~Dilities the recommendation of all
outside plant extensions and addi-
ions to care for contemplated
growth, including plans and esti-
mates of costs of construction and
construction work; keeping out

In July, 1877, we all returned
east to our different homes. By
reason of the change of Major
Mitchell as Indian agent, we all
got fired.

for some st. Louis fur com
pany. At that time this store
was located where Mr.. Cogswelr:
store now stands. Our house was
about 100 yards south of the store
which house consisted of fou1
rooms. The south room was the
schoolhouse, the other three rooms
we occupied as our home. The
commissory was 100 yards east OF
our house. The saw mill was 10.
Gated south of our house. Besides
these buildings there were several
Indian houses in the little city
of Wolf Point of 1876. We re-
member the Boshas, the Smokers,
Comstocks and several others.
Johnnie Smoker, a little Indian
maid, lived in a tepee and made
the finest of Indian bead work,
some of which we have in our
house to this day.
At this time the boats made
trips only as far as FIT. Benton.
We remember only the names of
two, Katy Koontz, which made
only one trip a year from st. Louis
to FIT. Benton, bring supplies and
returning loaded with buffalo
robes and other furs. The other
boat was Silver City.
Women Arrive
In July, 1876, our mother, with
her two sons, James W., 9 years,
and Charles F., six years, came
from Augusta as far as Bismarck
by rail, then by boat to Wolf
Point; also Mrs. Morris from
Quincy, with her two boys about
the same age. Mrs. Morris du-
ties were to provide a soup din
ner for the school children I'm
dians) each noon. A Mr.. Mathews
was schoolmaster. Our mother
organized the first Methodist"
Sunday school at Wolf Point,
which was held in the school
room. There was no Sunday
school paper or pictures for the
children. Only mothers old Bible
and the one Mr.. Mathews had,
but the school was a satisfaction
to mother.
Joe Lambert was the interpreter
at this time. He and his father
murdered some time after
we left Wolf Point. His son
Charlie, was left for dead, but
recovered and is now living near
Frazer.
The Indian camp at this time
vas located about a mile up the
liver in the timber, near the
mouth of Wolf creek. The burial
was north of our house
bout a mile-we are told where
our city water works are now
coated. '
Prices
Eggs at that time were S1.OO
per dozen, when you could get
'em" from Mr.. Lambert; buffalo
'obes were worth 1 pint of New
Orleans brown sugar. Father took
7 two-year old robes on his re- :

DAILY PLANE TRIPS
MADE In FAR NORTH
Great Falls Tribune)

That aviation is not solely con
fined to the populated regions OF
the country is shown in a letter
received by Chris Trebesch, Hotel
Rainbow employee, from C. J.. Fer
guson, former Great Falls photog-
rapher, who is on a trapping tour
in the frozen north country. Mr..
Ferguson writes that airplanes
are visiting Resolution and Akla-
vik almost daily, the former place
being on Slave lake about 700
miles north from the last railroad
point. The planes carry out a
few letters, but will not bring in
any mail except that carrying
special airmail stamps.
Mrs. Ferguson, who has been
with her husband in that country
for almost two years, will be in
Great Falls the middle of August
for medical treatment. She left
the camp about three weeks ago,
taking around five weeks for the
trip. They must go by dog sled
for several miles and come down
the river in the summer time.
