First Day, July 3, Ended In Rain
; StOrm-Weather Was Ideal
For Most of Show.

The Hardin Stampede, sponsor
ed by the Hardin Lions club, was
the most successful entertainment
of the kind ever staged in Big
Horn county. "A good rodeo show
was staged both days-July 3rd
and 18th, and the attendance the
second day about 5000, was one
of the largest that any show In
Hardin has ever drawn. The large
grandstand and the bleachers were
filled to capacity, while hundreds
of automobiles, loaded with cele-
brants lined the fence facing the
for hundreds of feet on
either side of the grandstand, and
the arena beyond the chutes con-
tanned a long line of automobiles
filled with people who would rath-
er view the bucking contests, calf
roping, bulldogging and wild horse
racing from that vantage point
than from the grandstand, and
were many additional
hundreds who were forced to
stand and view the show.
While a dust storm, followed by
a heavy shower cut short the
program the first day, Wednesday
was an ideal day. There was no
wind and the sky was just SUI
ficiently cloudy to cool the at
mosphere, and it was one of the
most comfortable days of the
summer.
The rodeo program began at
one o'clock, when the crack Sheri-
high school band Of 10 pieces, I'M
der the direction of Eric Becker,
marched from the Savoy hotel to
the fair grounds, rendering pa
triotic music as they marched, and
took their places in the band
stand in front OF the grandstand,
from which they rendered music
throughout the afternoon, at in
tervals between events. The SER
vices of this band were furnished,
free Of charge, to the people of
Hardin and Big Horn county
through the good Offices of the
Sheridan Lions club and the
Sheridan Wyo- Rodeo association,
which organization furnished
transportation to and from Har-
din, the only expense to the Har-
din Lions Stampede management
being the providing them with
meals while in the city. This ac-
ton on the part Of the Sheridan
people Is an evidence Of their
appreciation Of the trade rela-
lions existing between the Sheri-
dan wholesale houses and the
business firms OF Hardin. The
people Of Hardin appreciate this
attitude on the part of Sheridan
and its citizens, and a large num-
Der of people from this county will
go to Sheridan, July IS, 10 and
20 to attend the Sheridan Wyo-
Rodeo.
The rodeo was under the man.
agement Of Junior Spear, who has
earned the reputation of being
one of the best rodeo directors in
the country. He was ably assisted
in its direction by Bud Anderson,
also an expert in this line, and
they had a crew Of experienced
riders and wranglers to put the
show over. While there have beer
larger rodeos in various parts Of
the country, there has never been
"a better show than the one that
was put on by these gentlemen al

A VOTE OF THANKS

In appreciation for the services rendered by the
Sheridan High School Band, which was so graciously
offered by that organization upon the request of the
Sheridan Lions Club and Sheridan-W Asso-
citation, on the first day of the Hardin Stampede, July
3, 1884, we wish to express our thanks and tender our
good will in reciprocation. The appearance of this A.
piece band of young musicians at the opening of the
stampede did much toward putting life into the event
and giving it an suspicious start.

to Grand Forks by diversion through

Reciting the fight for government
support Of the diversion project, Holt
said one Of the main handicaps has
been the indifference to the enter
prise displayed by Senior Senator
Lynn ]. Frazier, his opponent In the
election. When q delegation Of 40
North Dakotans was trying to get
recognition In washington. he said

his own candidacy, he declared that
the better the representatives in
Washington, the better cnance Of sue
cess the diversion project would have.
Lynch told the people not to be de-
ceived by the claim that they will
have to pay the huge relief expendi-

raised from income taxes, levied upon
people who are able to pay them.

both Olson and the lawyer would
be "taken care Of" il they would
withdraw the custer action. The
offer was rejected.
As one cure for the ills of the
economic system, Olson proposed q
law which would restrict ownership
Of the soil to the man who wants ia
live on it, thereby barring specula-
ton in land values by corporations.
Such q law, he said, would reduce
taxes on homes in which the owner
lives or the home quarter in the
case Of farms. Each succeeding quar-
ter of land would pay a higher tax
rate until the point was reached
where land ownership would be un-
profitable.
Commenting on the activity of the
federal government in behalf Of the
farmer, Olson asserted that the
cattle-buying program was the best
thing the government ever did, since
lit gave the farmers some money and
prevented the animals from dying Of
thirst and starvation. The govern
ment, he said, should have credit
for what it has done and is entitled
to the full cooperation Of the state
government, contention stressed
also by the Democratic candidates.
Promising to continue his efforts
to give the state cleaner government
than it has had in the last 10 months,
Olson asserted the records show the
worst racketeering in the history Of
the state during that time. For ex-
ample, he cited the deel whereby the
state mill and elevator made an ad-
vance payment Of $3.50 on an adj
vertising contract with The Leader,
political newspaper. In effect, he
said, LANCER as official head Of the
board controlling the state mill and
elevator, made : contract with him
self as owner Of the Leader, to pay
out the states money and then sent
two men to browbeat Ludwig Peder-
son, mill manager, into paying the
money in advance.
Gets Last Laugh
His political enemies, he said, have
laughed at his alleged midnight ride
to Bismarck at the time LANCER was
convicted in the federal court but
have said nothing 1t al about Peder-
sons midnight ride across the entire
state in an effort to get back the
money he had paid out a. an advance
on the advertising contract.
Commenting that LANCER had
asked the people in June not to vote
for Ole because he had not CO.
operated, Olson got . laugh when
he asked, "Where would I be head
ing for now If I had cooperated?"
Langer's contention that he is still
the governor, Olson said, has pro-
duced both humorous and touching
incidents. The humor, he said, comes
from the fact that all mail addressed
to the governor comes to him and
such letters o he does not want he
turns over to his predecessor. He
explained that it is like the hired
man reading mail addressed to the
boss and letting him see what he

Written Especially for NEA Service
and The Raassnn rrk WSr2huvAl

A friend Of mine rented = house
for the summer, and had no more
than moved in when heard q wall
from him about the hot water sup
ply.
I spent q weekend with him to
look things over. The hot water out
fit was wrong wherever it could be.
It started with water-heating
stove, in which some previous user,
I suppose in q desperate attempt to
make the thing work, had built so
hot fire that the top lid had warp
ed. This made q leak that reduced
the draft, and that, Of course, was
trouble number one.
The supply tank was alongside the
stove, and although there were three
bathrooms In the house, not to men
ton the kitchen sink and laundry
tubs, the tank had capacity Of only
Is gallons. Fault number two.
The low connection from the stove
led to the bottom Of the tank, and had
no drain cock by which the tank could
be flushed out. Faults three and four.

wants him to see.
The tragedy, he said, comes from
the fact that many people still do
not understand what has been going
on in North Dakota.
Widow Offered Mite
Recently, he said, letter addressed
TO the governor came from q woman
IN the western part Of the state. She
recited how destitute she and her
children were. They had no clothes
and that the children were sleeping
on cots without mattresses. After
this tale Of economic tragedy. he
said, she enclosed q quarter. saving
It was all she could give to the
LANCER defense fund.
Olson was bitter as he remarked:
Here was this woman in the poorest
OF circumstances, sending her mite

tnat ne had an income Of between
$4,000 and $4,000 last year. Al
Capone or Dillinger wouldn't take

Democratic candidates was the finan.

LARGER TANK NEEDED

A new lid would fix the stove, and
a new tank Of at least twice the ca
pacity-better yet, three times
should be put In. After few months
Of use, galvanized tank, which this
was, will be crusted inside with a de-
post Of scale and probably rust.
The connecting pipe to the heating
stove being at the bottom, the flakes
ana sediment settle into 1t, either to
be carried to the faucets or to collect
in the low pipe and eventually clog 1t.
With the low pipe from the stove con-
nected to an opening low in the side
OF the tank, there is space at the bot
tom Of the tank In which the sediment
can collect without being carried
along by the circulation.
This will avoid clogging Of the sys-
