Ibsen, Henrik JOhan, b. 2O-3
1928, d. 23-5 1906, poet, play
wright and author In 1850 he
came to Christiania (Oslo), where
he received his matriculation de-
gree. 1851-57 he worked as DRAM
attic author and instructor at the
theatre Den Rationale Scenes" in
Bergen, interrupted by one years
studies in Copenhagen and Dres-
den 1882. Then for five years
he was head of the "Christiania
Norske Teater." Here Ibsen laid
the basis for his intimate knowl-
edge of the theatre. In the spring
of 1864 Ibsen went to Rome with
state scholarship, and for 81
years he lived abroad.
Already in his first historic
drama The Pretenders''-1873, h.
sen showed his aptitude for de-
picting living characters. The YER
sified theological dramas Brand"
and Peer Gynt" deal with Ibsen's
main problem - mans reaction to
the problem of life = and the
principle "all or nothing at all" is
adhered to without compromise.
In the succeeding series of realis-
tic dramas Ibsen handles the same
problems. In Pillars of Society"
he critisizes the ranters in politi-
cal life, in Dolls House." he at
tacks the bondage of women, and
in Ghosts" conjugal and heredi-
tary problems are discussed. In
the satiric Enemy of the People,"
Ibsen maintains the rights of the
individual against the Compact
majority" Profound studies of
character are found in his last
pessimistic, symbolic dramas THE
Wild Duck s." "Rosmersholm,"
"Hedda Gabler" and The Master
Builder"
Ibsen's plays are technically
perfect. No Nordic author has
been the cause of so much discus
sion as Ibsen, neither has any 9TH
er Nordic author had such a pro-
found influence on the spiritual
life all over the world. AS a dram
atist he is no doubt the greatest
master in the 18th century,

Incidents In 0SS
Service Are
Cited by Pratt

A lecture on the work of the
Office of Strategic Services,
held at the American Legion
hall, Wednesday, April 10, was
well attended by residents of
Big Horn county.
George Pratt of Billings, who
held a key position with this
intelligence service, gave a very
interesting talk on the work of
the department.
Several very amusing Incl
dents were related by Mr.
Pratt, among them was the
broadcasting by U. S. intelli-
gence personnel from the attic
of a hotel in Bavaria where
Marshall Herman Goehring was
staying. The intelligence team
radioed England, giving the ex-
act location of the hotel, and
requested that American bomb
ers take care of the situation.
However, they were unable to
accomplish their mission due to
bad weather over the Bavarian
Alps.
Another entertaining story
was that of one of our agents
who was being elected from a
compartment on a train in
Germany to. which he had been
assigned but which was reserv-
ed for Field Marshall Won Ron
sted. The Marshall boarded the
train about the time the agent
was being put off, and he asked
that this citizen be allowed to
remain as he wanted to talk
with him. So the agent finished
the trip in the compartment
talking about the morale of
the German people to one of
the principal generals of the
German army without his iden-
titv being discovered.
Mr.. Pratt said the intelli-
gence work is a difficult and
dirty business and that the
Americans have always prided
themselves in not having to re-
" on spies. This is not true in
foreign countries which made
intelligence work part of their
everyday lives. -
Mr.. Pratt stated that Daniel
Defoe, author of Robinson
Crusoe," was the father of the
British Intelligence Service,
but it did not become public
knowledge that he was con-
nected in any way with this
service until almost rs years
after his death.

Monfana-Dakota Utilities Co. Assumes
Ownership of Property Of
Big Horn Oil and Gas Development Co.
A. r. Richmond Will
Be Manager Of
CompunY's Local Office

A deal was completed on
Monday, April a, whereby the
Montana-Dakota Utilities Com
pany acquired the natural gas
distribution system and other
physical assets of the Big Horn
County Oil and Gas Develop
ment Company of Hardin.
L. M. Wells of Sheridan, man
ager of the gas and merchan-
dising depar t;mentS for the
Montana-Dakota company; Ro-
bert Naylor, Miles City division
manager, and A. R. Richmond
of Miles City arrived in Hardin
Sunday to complete details re-
lating to the transfer.
Gas meters were read on APP
ril "a and Is and Hardin gas
consumers will receive final
statements in the near future
for gas consumed to those
dates.
The company announced that
Richmond will be local mana
ger. He has been an employee
of the company for 20 years in
various departments. He is
married and has two children,
and his family is expected to
join him in Hardin later.
Art Platz and Joe hammers,
who have been employed by the
Big Horn County Oil and Gas
Development Company, will
continue as employees at the
local office under the new own
erS.
MI. Naylor said the company
plans to begin studies immedi-
ately to determine the require
mentS of present and prospec-
tive gas users and to make gas
service available wherever it is
economically feasible. Necessary
work on the distribution syS-
tenn in Hardin will be done as
rapidly as studies can be COM
pleted and materials obtained.
1t is expected that gas from
the company's new line from
Worland, Wyo., to Eastern Mon
tana will be available in Har-
din in October:
On completion of the sale,
the Big Horn Oil and Gas De-
velopment Company expressed
it's appreciation to the people of
Hardin for the patronage given
it during the years when there
was a sufficient gas supply
available, as well as the years
when the growth of the city
and the depletion of the gas
wells rendered the supply mad
equate.
Company officials said, eve
are pleased that the city of
Hardin is fortunate enough to
now have an ample supply of
gas which means so much to
its certain future growth and
development. We ask that the
people extend to their new
company their heartiest coop
