MRS. JACKSON TELLS
ABOUT LIFE in TEXAS

Judge Gordon is in the receipt
of two letters from Mrs. Florence
Jackson, whose husband was here
in connection with the construc-
tion of the Wolf Point bridge.
They are now in Texas where
the Missouri Bridge and Iron
company has the contract for a
bridge across the Canadian river.
The first letter was written
from Amarillo. Mrs. Jackson said
in part: 1--WE will be here at Am
arillo for about six or eight
months. It's quite a town of about
$4,000 people. The work will be
about 40 miles out. 1t is to be a
railroad bridge across the Canadi-
an river. The oil fields are not
far from here, about 60 miles.
The oil boom town of Berger,
Texas is not far from here. An
old-timer told us that % million
aires live here in Amarillo. It's
much like Montana in this part
VI ItAdS. ISdHClinS, CdIC1C, anu III
seem to be the main industries.
We see the same sort of big hats
and COW boots as in Montana"
The second letter was written
from Tascosa, Texas, and Mrs.
Jackson said: 1.-THE camp is just
being. built up out here and they
haven't started any of the actual
bridge work yet. They are build
ing the tool hiuse and blacksmith
shop today, and l understand that
Harry Dietrich will be here to
ing the tool house and blacksmith
This part of Texas reminds me
of Montana around Wolf Point.
The hills look the same and the
coyotes howl like those up there.
Also there are r~attlesnakes aplen-
ty. The boys have killed two
near the bunk house and we
found the second scorpion in the
house this morning. It's a great
life and | rather like it. Suppose
Wolf Point is pretty dead now

GLASGOW,
DIES SUDDENLY
FORMER BANK PRESIDENT
SUCCUMBS LIGHTING
GAS HEATER

Glasgow-President J. e. Arnot
of the closed Glasgow National
bank lost his life early Monday
morning in a fire that broke out
in his residence here. His charred
body was found in the basement
by members of the fire depart
ment when they answered the
alarm and we're forced to break
in an outside door to the house
to gain admittance. The theory
of the tragedy is that Mr.. Arnot
had gone into the basement of
the house, in which he was alone
at the time, to light the water
heater so the household would
have a supply of hot water for
washing purposes Monday morn
ing.
1t is thought he must have
tainted while holding a lighted
match in his hand and fell into
a pile of papers and rubbish
which became ignited and there
suffocated and burned to death.
1t was brought out at the coron-
er's inquiry that Mr.. Arnot had
been subject to fainting spells and
had been a victim of five or six
of them recently.
Mrs. Arnot, who discovered the
fire upon her return home from
the tourist camp where she had
gone to see if her son., Robert,
who is in charge of the camp,
was intending to return home to
spend the night. She was absent
from the home only 20 minutes
or so, but upon her return dis
covered that the house was filled
with smoke. She ran across the
street to the home of DR.. Mont
gomery and aroused the family,
them that her home was
on fire and that MT. Arnot was
in it.
Mrs. Montgomery turned in the
fire alarm and DR.. Montgomery
ran across the street to do what
he could at the Arnot home. He
was unable to find the light
switch at once and in the mean
time the firemen arrived.
Mr. Arnot's body was found in
smoke-filled room in the base
ment lying on a blazing pile of
papers and rubbish. He was garb-
ed in his nightgown. The upper
part of his body was burned to
a crisp.
Mr.. Arnot was a brother of w.

THE BOARD INVITES ALL TO
~PATRONIZE THE FAIR
SEPT. % AND "a

The premium lists for the
Roosevelt county fair have been
mailed to the farmers of the coun-
ty, accompanied by an entry
blank and the letter reprinted be-
low. The list of premiums is
more complete than eve before
and should attract an increased
number of entries. The fair books
were gotten out this year by the
Valley Tribune of Bainville and
are neat and attractive.
In mailing out the lists the
Fair Board, through it's secretary,
A. w. Warden, says:
"This premium list is our invi-
tation to you to take part in this
great development project, the
building up of the Roosevelt
County Fair. Read it over and de-
termine what classes you can help
with to the greatest advantage.
eve urge that you consider this
fair from the standpoint of it's
value to the county and to north
eastern Montana. Consider, too,
how you a help to make it
even Bigger and Better and then
lend a hand. The fair can reach
its greatest development only
through much cooperative effort.
1--WE, as the Fair Board, have
gone as far as we can when we
have made full preparations for
a growing fair. Now it depends
upon yourself and other exhibit
ors as to whether it will really
grow.
do not hesitate to exhibit be-
cause your products are not per-
feet, for none of them are. Bring
the best you have and you viii
be surprised at the showing they
will make in competition with
others. The farm or home that
does not produce something worth
showing at the fair is, indeed, I'M
fortunate.
I'VE want to see you as we'll
as your products at the coming
fair"

BOSSES REACH COAST
HAD ENJOYABLE TRIP

Irene Boese, who, with her
by a for Washington, writes
mother and brother, recently left
that they had an interesting trip.
and that they had no car trouble
on the way, not even one flat
tire, At the time she wrote they
were visiting at the T. H. Barton
home at Port Orchard, and on
the way they had visited friends
at Glasgow, Harlem, Havre and
Great Falls. They also spent some
time in Glacier Park. Bad roads
were encountered in places, but
the road through Glacier Park
was not as bad as had been ex-
pected, although that from Bolton
on through to Bonners Ferry was
not good. From Bolton to Libby
they couldn't hardly have been
worse, she said. The road was
very narrow, high up and was so
winding that n could not see
far ahead. However they enjoyed
the trip and the beautiful scenery
they passed.
Miss Boese said in part: 1--WE
like it around Seattle and Port
Orchard fine, and hope to get
settled in Seattle soon. I'm going
to start my business course Sep
TENDER End, but l am afraid that
we are going to miss Wolf Point
very much for a time. Wolf Point
means SO much to us. Will close
this time with best regards to
all"

such high-priced attractions defin-
itely convinced us Indianapolis

Miss Winnie Lightner, famous
on both stage and screen, has been
obtained to open the. new policy.

selfish, but we can curb our selfish
ness with self-control. All churches
have members who are self1sI1-have

Do what you do just as well as you

Watch the example you set for your

you're going to do something, even
if it's a spanking, do it! Or you'll

Thousands Lie Along Banks
After Blasting of Dam
in White River.

Blowing up of temporary dam
in an attempt to make a new
channel for White river. several
weeks ago, has killed thousands of
fish in the stream between Indian
apolis and Martinsville and is ruin
ing what little fishing White river
affords for the future in this
vicinity.
This was admitted today by Wal
ter Shirts, head of the fish and
game division of the state conserva-
ton department, and elaborated
upon by Lewis S. Finch, chief
sanitary engineer of the state health
department.
Finch explained that he sent in
veStigators to discover the cause of
the thousands of dead fish along
the river banks, between Indian
polls and Martinsville, and discov-
cred that it was lot from pollution
Of the water, but from the flood
caused by releasing the irnpounded
water.
This was done under direction OF
the Indianapolis board of works in
carrying out a flood prevention
project.
That it will take years to restore,
through the hatcheries, the number
Of fish killed was the prediction
made by Shirts.
