Cold Wave Breaks
Siege
OF Many Days ;

IA welcome break in the cold
snap arrived in Hardin begin
ming Tuesday night when the
mercury climbed above the zero
mark for the first time in sew
eral days. The lowest reading
recorded at the Holy Sugar
corporation factory north of
Hardin was a minus AZ early
Tuesday.
The low reading was the cold
est recorded in this area for
nearly ten years, according to
longtime local residents.
Some StockraiserS in this
area are runninp short of hay,
it is reported. Jess Schwend has
been hauling hay from Red
Lodge to feed cattle at his
ranch and another herd near
Fly Inn Some Stockmen are
buying feed from as far away
as B5zeman, it was said.
The heating problem in HAIR
din reached serious proportions
during the cold weather when
insufficient natural gas was
available to heat all homes and
business places. Many fami les
converted to other heating ia
ciIities, some moved in with
trends or neighbors who had
sufficient heat, and Others
closed off parts of their homes
in an effort to conserve enough
heat for one or two rooms.
With the return of warmer
weather yesterday, conditions
began r%everting to normal.

State Invasion
By hufferites
ISoIons Problem

The following article clipped
from the Midland Review, edit
ed by Z. M. PrilI of Billings, is
of interest to Big Horn county
citizens since a Hutterite colony
made an attempt to settle in
this county about two years
ago:
Montana is suffering an in
VaSion of butterflies and the
problems in their choosing this
state as their future home is
one that should and will be
thoroughly considered by the.
present lawmakers assembled in
Helena.
Readers Of The Midland Re-
view may question our mention
ing this subject and so we will
attempt giving information in
a general way. This article,
while lacking much detail as to
the life, beliefs and motives Of
the people involved, is what we
have learned in years of OBJ
Servance. !
While we are speaking direct
~ Of the sect called butterflies,
still we wish it understood
clearly that there are many
other branches of the same
kind of belief such as Hussites,
MennoniteS, DoukabourS, AmiSh
and on and on.
At the present time we are
informed that seven colonies of
these kind of peoples are To-
Gated in Montana. They are
kpicking Montana as a pretty
fertile field for their peculiar
mode of living.
The last of these people to
arrive within our state are the
butterflies who purchased three
tracts of irrigated farm lands
and moved in in a body from
Canada. One group is near Au-
gusta and two groups are near

Hedvy Ddrnuge in
Fire MonddY

partment battled a blaze for an
hour and a half in a So below
temperature last Monday night,
when they were called to- the
home of Mrs. Lucy Oronando
north of the Standard bulk
plant of Railroad avenue.
According to Fire Chief Seth
Thompson the blaze started
from a blowtorch which was
being used to thaw frozen water
pipes. Fire and water damage
was heavy due to the fact that
the fire was between double
walls and was difficult to ex-
tinguiSh.
Mrs. Oronande had insurance
on the home and furniture, 1t
was said.

City Crews Remove
Snow from Streets

City crews are busy this week
removing snow from the down
town streets Of Hardin. Accord
ing to Mayor A. M. Chilly, this
is the first year that the pre-
sent system of removing snow
from the streets has been used
in Hardin.
The snow was moved to the
middle of the streets with a
blade several days ago, and city
trucks and county loading
equipment are being used to re-
move the snow. The method is
a decided improvement over
previous years when the snow
was left piled at the curbs.

Big Horn Scion
Is Author
Obituary Bill

According to word received
this week from Representative
Clyde L.. Hawks, author of a
bill in the state legislature to
permit county commissioners to
levy a maximum of two, rather
than one mill for support of
free county public libraries,
Hawks expects the measure to
pass the house in the near flu
turo.
The bill had been, recon-
mended for nonpassage by the
house standing committee which
considered it, but it's author
succeeded in keeping the mea-
sure alive and recently he and
several other members beat off
another attempt to have it kill
ed, and succeeded in having it
given house approval.
Hawks pointed out the bill
was of a premissive mature,
giving counties a chance to
maintain their library facilities
despite increases in costs of
services and supplies. He drew
support from Representatives
Blenkner, r, Saltwater; Briker,
r., Cascade and Helding, D.,
Missoula, and was opposed by
Representative Frerich, r.,
Roosevelt.
Hawks also was appointed BY
House Speaker Leo g. Graybill
to serve on a Seven-man specia'
committee to investigate dupll-
cation in state boards and of
ficecc.
1T seems to me like a pretty
big undertaking, but we hope
TO have some recommendations
by the end of the session,
Hawks said.

PA step toward implementing
"decent race relations was under

manufacturers. This step took the
form of employing three colored
girls as office workers.

that it was their duty to hire peo-

the new policy to the office staff.
