Mount Aniakchak is one of the four craters in Alaska which are the largest in the forld and they were nomed "moon craters" by Father Hubbard because they are the only known earthly viyals of the huge craters seen by astrono- mers on the face of the moon.

Educator To Receive
 Last Rites 1T Tomorrow
Mrs Jennie A. Phillips, Sprague School Principal,
 Succumbs Yesterday to Long Illness

Hundreds of friends and former pupils of Mrs Jennie Augusta (Goldsmlth) Phillips, principal of the sprague school in ,Watervilie joined today in mourning her death. Mrs Phillips died yester- day at the Waterbury hospital a.- ter a long illness.
 Leaders in the civic life Of Wa terville paid unanimous tribute to Mrs Phillips today as one of the most beloved and respected figures in the community, woman whose sound advice and counsel were sought by pupils long after they had left the school and by residents of Waterville in the planning of any new enterprise.
 She was intensely interested in the growth of Waterville and Fair mount and was always among the proponents of any suggestion which might promote better civic conditions. While a strict disci- plinarian in her classes, she was eminently fair to students. Illus { trative of the respect she com. manded by those whom she taught during her long service in the school is the fact that hundreds of former students came to her for advice in later years.
 CrOsby Graduate
 Mrs Phillips was born in Water bury, the daughter of Andrew W. and Christine (Somers) Goldsmith. She was educated in the public schools and was graduate of Crosby high school. She had taken extension work at New York uni- versity and travelled extensively both in this country and abroad.
 Prior to her marriage to Charles D. Phillips in 1890, she taught in Hopeville, coming to Spraguc as a teacher in 1885,, She was ap- pointed principal in 1900. MT Phillips died February II. 1924, and q son died in 1894 at the age of three years.
 tJhe is survived by one sister, Mrs Benjamin Cbatfield of this city; a brother, William A. Goldsmith of Seattle. Washington: two nieces, Miss Rhoda and Miss Elizabeth Chatfie1d of this city. She was n member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Matta- tuck Historical society and com municant of the Episcopal church.
 Tributes Paid
 Tribute was paid today to Mrs Phillips by Alderman c. Arthur Dubois, who said:
 "I feel a deep sense of personal loss in the passing of Mrs Phillips. Waterville has lost its best known resident a woman whose strength of character, Kindness and human understanding have endeared her not only to hundreds of former pu- pils-at Sprague but also to other residents of the community. She was always intensely interested in anything affecting the welfare of her pupils or the community at large.
 Her passing leaves an irrepar- able gap in Waterville's continuity Ifs, of which she had become an essential part"
 Nir Thomas J. Condon, superin- tenhent of schools, said:
 ''Ne will all miss her. She was conscientious, hard working, a principal loved by both pupils and teachers. Her interest in her pupils extended beyond their graduation. You would frequently see former pupils returning to her to talk over their problems. She was a wonder full influence in the community and

FORT PECK.-All workers a
round here seem to be just about
as sick and tired as they possibly
can be living in the government
bunkhouses. The general opposi-
ton is slowly crystallizing into
some action, protest meetings are
being held, and petitions have been
signed by more than 1000 workers
requesting congressional investiga-
ton and demanding to live where
they please and not in the bunk
houses.
According to government regula-
tons, about 80 per cent of the
workers are forced to live in these
barracks. All winter long they
have been filled with sick men. A
relatively large number of men
have died, mostly of pneumonia.
The miserable conditions are
caused BY the tin can hot air fur

February Is, 1885.

Producers News Editor:
Copies of the inclosed letter have
been sent to Senator Lars Ang-
wick and to DR.. Butler, state re-
lief administrator:
Dear Sir:
The inefficiency, injustice, waste
of money and discrimir alton prs.
vailing in the relief administration
at Plentywood has reached such a
point that it has become impossi-
BILE for me to refrain from pro-
testing. l will give a few exam

1t is common knowledge that
some case workers will go out 20
or 80 miles from town and inves-
tigate only one farmer, and then
come back possibly the next day
and investigate his neighbor. This
practice is, in its mildest words,
waste of relief money.
No Relief While Waiting For

STATE RELIEF

is NOT CUT,
SAYS BUTLER
But Sheridan County Relief
Has Been Cut for 10
Days

HELENA, Feb. 16.-There will
be no curtailment of the Montana
relief program at least for several
days, DIR. w. J. Butler, state re-
lief administrator, announced last
night.
He made this statement in an
swer to many calls he had received
from persons who feared that the
program would be stopped Feb. IS.
Montana has received only part
of the regular amount of money
for February from the federal gov
eminent, Butler said, but with the
sum appropriated by the state the
program can continue perhaps I'M
til congress will act.
"There has heen no cutting of
budgets up to date" said Butler.
1t seems, however, that the state
relief administrator is somewhat
misinformed, for the relief admin
istratiori of Sheridan county has
been cutting budgets Justify since
Feb. 5. A number of families have
been entirely cut off, others had
their clothing orders refused and
grocery orders have been cut gen.
orally.
Is the local administration act
ing without orders, or is Butler
just trying to fool the people?

Harry Polk Had Some
Disappointment

Dakota county printing is voted

LANCER faction. He furnished
them with printing ard free gaso-

while they were voting against the

should he voting for the Herald for
county printing.
That scheme didn't work so good
and the Herald didn't get the
printing, but Harry's governor

lasted only 25 days. What a dis

WEATHER BUREAU
PREDICTS ANOTHER
MIDWEST DROUTH
Late Spring Is To Be Warm
and Dry, 1t Is Re-
ported

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE
AAA seems to work in close CO.
operation with the weather god.
This at least can be concluded
from the report made yesterday by
the official weather bureau here,
which predicted another drought
for the entire midwest.
The bureaus sciev lists state that
they have discovered an 11-month
weather cycle which, if it runs
true to form, will mean warm
and dry late spring for the entire
midwestern area this year.
The report admitted that the
great plains are still dry enough
to make spring rains very import
ant. However, slate spring will
be. warm and dry in the midwest
this year if May conforms to its
usual practice of bringing high
temreratures II months after an
abnormally hot June" the weather
prophets said. This contention,
they say, is verified by past re-
cords.
There is no disagreement any
where as to the fact that last June
was quite hot and in temperature
above what is considered normal
And with another droupht, the crop
destruction program of the Roose-
welt administration ought to be in
pretty good shape by the end Of
this year.
The report states further that
from the central plains eastward
there is now sufficient moisture tt
give the, crops a start. But the
plains area from North Dakct;
and Montana southwark is lacking
moisture reserve to a considerabl,
degree, says the weather bureau.

1000 Workers Protest Bunk
House Conditions at the Dam

GERS everywhere. But its initial
cost was low, and at the same time
it is a virtual gold mine for those
who hold the fuel contract.
The medical trust finds no fault
with the heating equipment. Since
workers are the only ones to re-
side in the bunkhouses, no atten-
ton was given in planning the con-
struction to fit modern rules Of
sanitation.
The phoney contractor who slip
ped this type Of heating system
over on Fort Peck must have been
mechanical genius, ard the gov
eminent inspector who passed on
this handy-andy affair should feel
proud of the accomplishment. For
workers who get sick or die there
are others to take their places and
dead ones have no chance to fall
back on government relief.
It is lack of organization on the
part of the workers that makes
the government and the contract
ors dare to put up such conditions.
Even the Wolf Point commander Of
the American Legion had to adj
nit the other dav that the stu
alton was deplorable. He "advis-
ed' the workers to bring it to the
attertion of the "proper officials"
and regulations would be changed.
There will be no change for the
better unless workers here viii or
