About 1900 tons Of old bait, held In
storage from last year, were pressed
into service this year. In addition
county overnmentS, and individuals
purchased about 900 tons of dry ma
terials, the WPA 400 tons and the
United States department Of agricul-
ture 500 tons following last-minute
appropriation.
Poisoning efforts mostly were con-
centrated in the irrigated sections,

agents and WPA mixing crews got bait
to farmers in time to hold damage to
a minimum on irrigated crops. More
than 800 tons of bait were spread in
Yellowstone county, saving q large
acreage of sugar beets, alfalfa and
grain crops that otherwise would have
been completely destroyed. Even though
1900 acres of sugar beets had to be
abandoned in the lower Yellowstone
the spreading of bait saved thousands

A few weeks following the dis
covery Of gold In Grasshopper
Greek (Bannack) printer with a
small army press and q shirt tail
fun of type appeared in Bannack,
unl0aded his outfit, and announced
that he had come TO the new gold
fields to establish the first news
paper In the territory, which was
then Idaho. He Immediately pro-
ceeded to get out his first and only
issue of the Bannack Newsletter,
= small poster size sheet. In this
work he was assisted by Col. VIII
bur f. Sanders who wrote the salu-
9at0ry and several other editorials.
Stampede Follows
A few days after the publication OF
the initial issue of the Bannack News
Letter came the news Of the phenom-
email strike by Bill FairWeather and
his friends In Alder Gulch where gold
had been found in superabundance.
Immediately thereafter occurred the
Virginia City stampede, one of the
most notable gold rushes in what is
now Montana and which was partici-
pated in by every able bodied adult in
Bannack who did not possess rich pay
ground. The stampede swallowed up
the Bannack Newsletter, its pub
Usher following the rush Of argonauts,
and what to him was the road to OBJ
Ivion. He loaded up his little plant
and moved down the broad trail to
Alder Gulch and never was heard Of
more.
Thirty years later his little press, a
queer contraption to modern disciples
of the art typographical, was found In
discarded junk in the rear of the old
Virginia City Madisonian, successor to
the Montana Post. The writer sent the
press to the Historical society in Hell

And suddenly Gale felt angry. He
had fierce desire to stand in front of

judgment. And yet he wanted to de-
tend Janet too. She's sort of hard

carelessness. But she's a swell friend

They sat side by side, holding hands
and looking out of the window. Pres
emily Lois put her head on Gales
shoulder and they both slept, worn
out with excitement and their strange
and difficult happiness.
Lois woke first Winters dusk was
creeping over the flying landscape.
She glanced at the boy beside her.
His head had fallen back against the
cushions. He looked at once very
young and rather wan and driven, as
though life had been little too hard.
She wanted to hold him close and de-
tend him. She made a sudden pas
sionate resolution that she would
never fail him.
She let him sleep on. There was a
magazine beside her and it was still
light enough to read. Almost on the
first page she met Gales face again
not wan and driven now, but gay and
laughing. He seemed to be looking
across the page to another face that
smiled provocatively back at him. She
could just read the caption, "Janet
and Gale are scheduled to be featured
together in the next Rand picture.
Meantime Gale has gone East to see
the old folks at home and show them

Herman Rand turned over the tele

him from the financial department.

ated requests and had given no sign
OF astonishment or indignation. But
he was really angry, And Janet Cour-
teney, seated on the other side of his
vast, important desk, was angry too.
1T just goes to show" she said,
that you can't trust hick."
Rand drummed an irritable tattoo
on the desk. He had other things to
be annoyed about. His own contract
was still binding, but he knew with a
sixth Hollywood sense that he was on
the skids and that the contract would
not be renewed. 1t was being said that
he didn't know the new, hard-work-
ing, honest goodness Hollywood.
Like hell he didn't.
But if you were on the skids you
were on the skids. Arguing got you
nowhere. You had to do something.
Knock everyone's eye out. He had
counted on the new Gale Janet pic
ture. And now Gale had thrown the
monkey wrench of some idiotic mar
riage into lot of swell publicity.
You ought to keep ball and chain
on your boy friends, "he said sourly, "if
you can't keep them any other way"
Janet had no comeback. She was
thinking too hard. The situation wasn't
pleasant for her either. The boy-and-
girl-sweethearts line was badly snarled.
And there were lot of people who
were going to get lot of clean, hearty
fun watching her unsnarl it. She knew
her friends. And she knew fans. She
remembered that farewell scene with
Gale on the station platform with a
twinge of acute discomfort. Something
had to be done and done fast.
"Well. she said, don't go bald be-
fore your time, Herman. guess one
story is as good as another. I'll go
home and dream new one for you."

News was received yesterday that
through lack of transportation the St.
Croix stockholders of the Virgin Islands
National Bank could not leave for st. Tho
mas today to attend the general an
nual meeting. Proxies were sent by Mr..
Donald Boreham who left on plane for st.
Thomas in TIE afternoon. 1t was expected
that if quorum could be obtained the
meeting would recess until the St:
Croix people arrive on the IS. "Nerrissa."
Among the disappointed stockholders
was the Vice-President of the Bank, Ar
mold M. Golden. After a day of ex-
element he found comfort and relief in
attending a meeting of the municipal
and tax committee in his home town
and listened to the singing of the pretty
little birds which are visiting Frederiksted
this winter These birds wear gay blue
coats with white vests Members of the
tax committee could not agree as to what
sort of birds the visitors were and it was
decided to refer the question to Mr.. Har-
ry Beatty, an authority on birds and mos
quitoes.

Dentists Office Entered. By Gold Thieves
Three Offices in West Main Street Building Burglar
 ized During Night

'Gainig entrance to another office building last night or early this morning in the identical manner in which the Lewis building was broken into several weeks ago, burglars rifled three offices, but left with only a small amount of gold used for dental repairs.
 The theft was discovered this morning when occupants of the Harrington building came to work and reported immediately to police.
 The loss of the gold was reported by Dr. James P. Lawlor, dentist, who maintains an office in the building at 135 West Main street. Subsequent investigation by Detec- tive Lieutenant William Pollard dis closed that while two other offices had been entered, nothing else was taken.
 Locks Fried
 Lieutenant Pollard said the thieves had apparently entered the building unnoticed, and had then proceeded to pry open locks by in- serting a sharp instrument between them and the door jambs.
 The offices of Dr. Daniel Shana- han, also 8 dentist, and Dr. E. J. Godfrey, city health officer, who also maintains quarters in the building, were also entered, but a preliminary checkup revealed that nothing was missing, according to Lieutenant Pollard. Dr. Shanahan also had on hand quantity of gold but 1t was locked in a vault in the office, Lieutenant Pollard said. The Lewis building break occurred sev- eral weeks ago. Five offices in the building were ransacked and small amount of cash obtained in one of them.
