WATCH FOR FLAG ON NEW
PLACE-POSSIBLY MON
DAY MORNING

According to j. B. Randall, post
master general at Wolf Point, the
postoffice, like the constitution,
follows the flag. SO when we see
Old Glory waving in the breeze
over the new site in the Miller
Mcdonald building, that will be
the place to go for our duns and
dailies. Maybe we will get a BOX
Rent Due, too, already yet. Mr..
Randall of course does not know
exactly when the new office will
open. Shrewd guessers are setting
the time at next Monday morn
ing, March 80.
The new fixtures arrived sever
al days ago and are being fitted
and installed as rapidly as pos
sible. Those who have seen them
say they are a classy outfit-ine
enough for a much bigger city. 1t
seems evident the department
took into account the growth Wolf
Point is certain to make.
The new post office will be a
splendid Improvement over the old
place-nearly twice as much floor
space, high ceiling, plenty of light
in all parts of the building, also
ventilation and adequate heating
plant.

DEATH TAKES
OLD RESIDENT
JOHN DORGAN OF BENRUD
PASSES ON IN SLEEP
SATURDAY NIGHT

The friends of John Dorgan in
country and town received a sew
re shock to learn that he had died
during Saturday night, March 81.
The end came without the slight
est warning at the home of a
neighbor, Gilbert Forsness. Mr..
Dorgan heard that some Of his
horses were near the ForSness
place and went there Saturday. The
horses were located and rounded
up Saturday evening. An invitation
was extended to stay all night and
he accepted, intending to take the
horses home in the morning. The
evening was spent playing crib
bage, a game Of which he was
fond. Near midnight he retired to
his bed.
In the morning Mr.. Forsness
looked into the room and saw
that his guest appeared to be
sleeping, and left him. Later,
when breakfast was ready he cali
ed to Mr.. Dorgan but got no ans
wer. Upon going to the bed he saw
that his neighbor was dead.
Mr.. Dorgan lay just as he had
fallen asleep. Without a sign of
struggle or movement he had pas
sed the great divide in his slum-
Der. He would have been 50 years
old on the 18th of next April. He
had been in his usual good health
so far as was known. If he had
felt any symptoms Of heart troub-
lie he had not mentioned it. The
LIST of July, 1929, he was in a
coupe coming to Wolf Point with

Butte, March 25-(UP)-Mon'
tana's answer to depression was
drafted last week in a project and
employment survey which disclos'
ed more than 8 $4,000, 900 to be
spent for labor and materials dur
ing 1881.
With reports received from only
10 Montana cities, Willard Thomp-
son secretary of the Butte Cham
Der of Commerce, said the total
revealed in the statewide survey
was $35, 445, 900.
OF this amount, $29,132000 is
contemplated in major projects,
while the remainder represents
smaller proposals.
Everyone is vitality interested
in employment data" Thompson
said. THAT was our prime reason
in gathering these figures. They
speak for themselves"
Montana labor will be given pre-
ference in all employment, Thomp-
Son said, and warned that timer
ant job seekers should not come
to Montana expecting to find en-
ployment easily.
The largest individual project is
the piping Of naural gas from Nor
thern Montana fields to the cities
and industries of Southwestern
Montana. This project will cost
$40, 900, 900 exclusive of the city
pipelines which will cost millions
more.

we'll under way and an additional
$8, 900, 600 will be spent there this

OLDEST INHABITANT DIES AT

afternoon at the Frazer school
house. Despite the cold and dis
agreeable day a large crowd gath
cred to do honor to the aged Civil
war veteran. He was laid to rest
with military honors, Legion mem
bers from the Hinsdale, Glasgow
and Wolf Point taking part. Jimmy
Boyd of this city, who had known
Joe Butch for more than half a
century, and who is himself one
of the few remaining Civil War
veterans in this part of the country,
was n of the pail bearers. Sever
al others from Wolf Point attend
ed the funeral.
Just how cd Joe Butch was
seems to rsre been a matter OF
conjecture. Notations among his
effects would seem to show that he
was born April IS, 1916, in England.
which would have made him al
most IS, but it is believed that he
was probably several years older
than that.
He had little opportunity for an
education and early went to work
for an English family. In 1860 he
accompanied one of the younger
members of the family to Quebec,
where he was ~apprenticed to a tan
ner named Chamberlain, receiving
$500 a month the first year, $3.50
a month the second year and $500
the third year.
Leaving thes tanners employ at
the end of three years, Butch took
advantage of excursion rates to
see a balloon ascension at Montre-
al and on this trip he spent all the
money he had earned during the
apprenticeship.
Father Named Creasley
Joe's father is said to have been
named Abraham Creasley, but at
ter his apprenticeship Joe took the
name of his employer, Chamber
lain and it was under this name
that he enlisted in the Union army
near the close of the Civil war.
Later, fearing apprehension for de-
sorting from the army, he took the
name of Butcher and this was
shortened to Butch, so 1t is as Joe
Butch that he has been known the
greater part of his life.
Following his apprenticeship as
a tanner, he and the young Eng
lishmen went to New York, where
they witnessed the draft riots. At
ter the fall of Vicksburg, the Eng
lishman decided he wanted to Wis
it Vicksburg before returning to
England. The two journeyed toget-
her as far as st. Louis where Joe
found work. Six or eight months
later he enlisted in the Union army
under the name Chamberlain. At the
close of the war he was mustered
out and received his discharge al
though he still had a year and a
half of his enlistment to serve
for a sight of frontier
life, he enlisted In in the 18th Unit

levy of two mills was retained.
Although a three mill levy was ap-
proved at the last fall election on

priated for university units, a to-
tai of $2,254,812.
OF the So, 900, 900 bond issue ap-
proved by popular vote at the last
fall election, $2,096, 900 was allot-
ted, leaving a reserve fund Of near
ly a million dollars to meet future

enacted by the legislature and ap-
proved by Governor Erickson, the
