Work Begins on Giant
Loco-Works In S. u

Work begins this month on the
building of the giant locomotive
building works in the Kusnetzk in
dustrial district about Is kilome-
tres from Kusnetzkstroi on the
right bank of the river Tom. When
completed and in full swing the
works will employ no less than
$4,000 workers and be one of the
biggest industrial undertakings in
the world. It's capacity will be
greater than all locomotive build
ing works in the Soviet Union
combined. This year 1900 locomo-
tives were built in the Soviet
Union. In the same period the
German State Railways built only
100 locomotives. The building OPP
erations will cost $50 million ru-
bles and will be completed in the
spring of 1884.

SCHOOL HOUSE
NEEDS REBUILDING
(BY HANS RASMUSSEN

ND1 0AINO hAOm OOOENJ
When the new school in Plenty
wood was built last year, we adj
vocated that this work should be
done by local labor, in order to
give our local people a chance to
make a few dollars, which every
one needed so badly.
But the local school board, who
consisted of a typical representa-
ton of the Plentywood business
element, who are telling us that
it is our duty to keep our money
at home and spend it with them.
This school board simply high hat
ted our working population, and
one of them said: eve don't trust
anybody in Plentywood to build
that school house." And the re-
suit was that outside people were
brought in and got away with
the bulk of the money and only a
miserable small part left with a
few of he local people.
About half of one year has now
gone by since the new building
was completed, and what have we

DEUS Elk MACHINA
VISIT EARTH
(BY HANS RASMUSSEN


Way back in olden times people
had other gods than we have to-
day. They were probably not quite
as good as what we now have, but
they had more of them and got
along fairly well with what they
had.
The old Greeks had a lot of
gods. When one of them appeared
in a play to settle things they cal
led it the Deus ex Machina. When
lever they Ehad any mysterious
troubles to deep for themselves to
unravel, in the course of a play,
this Deus ex Machina (the god
from the machine) was brought
down to earth from the sky, or
somewhere, by pulling a string and
being god he was always able to
solve their mysterious problems
one way on the other. The Deus
ex Machina is still with us, or
dinarily he lives way up in the
sky, way above the common herd,
but whenever somebody pulls the
string he comes down and tells us
what is what. He is still our god
and whatever he says goes, no
matter if it is right or wrong
Who pulls the string has a lot &c
do with it.
Lately Harry Polk was the one
who pulled the string and the Deus
ex Machina appeared-those who
could not pronounce the latin wore
called him Judge Stong and sale
he was from Billings. Perfectly
sober and dignified, as a god whC
lives in the sky must always be
he sat there and listened to Harr!
Polk telling him how he mad vic
lated the laws of Montana, not
once but seven or eight times. H
hobnobbed and dined with Harr!
Polk and his friends while he wa
here, and after he was hoisted bacl
into the sky, he dropped a lot O.
lines written on a lot of paper
telling us that in his godly wis
dom he had decided that no earthl.
power should take the printing
contract away from Harry Polk.
Not with one word did this Deu
ex Machina give as reasons TO
his decision, gods need not Civ
reasons, they are almighty, tn
common herd, who live so far from
the sky where the gods live mus
be satisfied with what is handed
! to them no matter if it is right o
wrong. Not with one word did h
: mention the fact that Harry Pol
, had been breaking the law, neithe
:, did he mention what should bt
: done about it. That part seems t
i be perfectly all right as far as h
9 is concerned. What the Deus e7
9 Machina will do when he is lie
down from the sky all depends o
G who is pulling the string.

Genius Laursen was nominated
by the farmers to run on the Com
munist ticket and represent them
at the state capitol as their State
Representative.
Gonius Laursen was born in
1885 and grew to manhood on his
fathers farm in Wisconsin. He
was among the first settlers in the
Dagmar community, taking up a
homestead there in 1906 where he
is still living. In 1912 he married
and they have four crildren, all
living at home.
He has always taken an active
part in community affairs and
many affairs and many a job Of
trust rave been bestowed upon him
IN the course of time by his fell
low farmers. At present time he
is a director of the Dagmar Bur
rial Association, director of the
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance
Co., on the Advisory board of the
First State Bank of Medicine Lake
In behalf of said Fire Insurance
CO., and president of the Farmers
Elevator Co. of Reserve. He is g
member of the Lutheran church
and at the time they had the high
school in Dagmar he was it's treas
urer.
| Gonius Laursen is at present
time the owner of 43O acres of
land, just how long he can hans
on to it is a question withhim al
well as it is with all the rest o.
us. He knows where the shoe
pinches. When he goes to Helen;
he will represent the class of tn
farmers of which he is one, rep
resent those who are facing fore
closure, sheriffs sales and eviction
And he has the nerve and abilit,
to stick up and fight for them; h
has proven this on more than on
occasion.
In the last few years GoniuE
Laursen has gotten to be know
all over the county. In the fight
the farmers have put up agains
the county agent and for relic.
he has been among the most agres
sive and active ones. He is a goo
speaker and has a lot of abilit!
! so when the farmers send him
Helena they will have a farme
there who will be able to tell tn
rest of them about the condition
on the farm and will not be afrai
: to spit it out.
