Walsh and Wheeler On Trip Through Drouth Area
Meet with Delegations-Do Not Favor Missouri
Bottom Irrigation on Fort Peck Reservation Now

Senators Thos. j. Walsh and B.
K. Wheeler passed through Wolf
Point Saturday on their way from
Glasgow to Poplar. They were
brought here from Glasgow by Ed
Feehan of Glasgow, and Ed Krebs-
bach and j. H. Coffey took them
to Poplar. They held a meeting
that evening at Poplar and the
next day went on to Scobey. Mon
day they were at Culbertson and
took the train that night from
Williston for the east. With a
view to getting at the needs and
wishes of the people in northern
Montana, they made a trip through
the drouth stricken area of the
state and conferred with delega-
tons at various points.
Accounts of the meetings at
Poplar and Culbertson, as reported

POPLAR. Sept. IA. - Senators
B. X. Wheeler and T. j.. Walsh
arrived here by car and, after a
dinner with Mr.. and Mrs. J.. c.
Dwyer, held a meeting with the
Indian tribal council and the Pop
lar Commercial club. An irrigation
system along the Missouri river
was discussed as a relief meas
ure but the senators did not en-
courage this as a present project.
They promised, however, that an
engineer would be sent later to de
termine the feasibility of such a
venture. The subject of sheep for
the Indians was discussed. Those
who represented the tribal council
were Alex Sansaver, Joshua Wet

FERCUSONS BACK
AT NORTHERN Home

The Herald is in receipt of a
letter from c.. J. Ferguson VINO
with Mrs. Ferguson left early IN
August for their north country
home in the Northwest territory,
Canada. He says in part:
1--WE arrived here Aug. 18th al
ter an interesting and pleasant
trip by rail and steamer. AT TT.
Smith we were delayed a full
week waiting for the steamer.
Through faulty management the
TT. B. Co. had routed us out a
week too soon. On Great Slave
lake we were given a thrill When
the huge barge being pushed pc
fore the steamer broke loose IN
rough weather. We were forced to
anchor in a lee of Burnt Island
while repairs were made n 0
still another three days while walt
ing for the wind to Subslde. 90
ing on a rock, five holes were
punched in the bottom OF the
steamer and for a while it was IN
danger of sinking.
"Now we are busy preparing 10
depart for our home in the bush
which we expect to reach Sept.
Goth. Sand flies are very bad here
this year, so this part OF the TRIP
will not be so pleasant"

Subscribers To Farm
Journal Get Papers

Various people who subscribed
to the Farm Journal recently, Civ
ing chickens in exchange, have
taken occasion to tell the Herald
representative that they received
the first copies of their papers
this week. That is good news and
The Herald is glad that the agent
claiming to represent that paper
proved not to be a fake. Accounts
of the methods he used as report
ed to US from various sources in
dictated that his way of securing
subscribers was peculiar, at least.
and we are glad that farmers and
farmers wives are getting what
they subscribed for. At the same
time we say again, make agent
show their credentials when theg
call. If they are acting in good
faith they will be glad to do so.

FAST HORSE LOST
IN SIDNEY RACE
(Sidney HERALD

The third day of the Richland
County Fair was replete with
thrills. In the three-quarter mile
running race, Carlos Enrique, own
ed and ridden by Mrs. Edna Bell,
broke his right front leg just as
he was rounding the turn at the
west end of the track to come
down the home stretch. Carlos
Enrique was a least two lengths
in the lead when he went down
the first time. When the gallant
animal struggled up an continued
trying to run his rider thought he
had only stumbled but when he
went down the second time he
fell SO violently that she lost her
seat, fortunately falling in such a
way that she was not seriously
injured, escaping with only a
strained back. Carlos Enrique was
removed from the track and shot
by Steve Douglas as it is impossi-
BILE to render effective treatment.
This is the third horse lost by
the Bells in the past year in &C
cidents of similar nature. The first
one was injured and killed at the
fair at Culbertson last September
and the second one in Deadwoody
S. D., last month.
