¡muti». 6-ita VOLUME X CHOTEAU, TETON COUNTY, MONTANA, NOVEMBER 17, 1922 NUMBER 19 Last Wednesday morning, at the 'Choteau Hospital, occuned the death •of Alfred C.,Warner, one of the most widly known citizen^ of Teton county. Death ■ was caused by Urema which jwas proceeded by a chronic attack -of Bright’s disiease. Thè illness last ing only a few days. “Uncle Al,” as Mr. Warn err was 'commonly known, first came to Mon tana more than forty years ago and for the past two years has filled the post of county treasurer, being re flected for that office this last elec tion. Prior to his election to this of fice, he was a United States commis sioner for more than thirty years. He was bora at Brooklyn, New York, September 8, 1848, son of 'Charles H. and Charlotte (Walters) 'Warner. His parents being both na tives of London, England. His father • iwas bora April 5, 1825, and died on March 20th, 1899. They were mar ried in London in September, 1847. 'Of their nine children three are still living: Eleanor M„ Edwin Freemont and Walter J. The son Walter in 1916 joined Battery A of the Missouri national guard artillery at St. Louis, was first lieutenant, and with that rank served on the Mexican border. W h en this country entered the war with Germany he and his command became part of the First Missouri artillery, and he was mastered into service with the one hundred twenty eighth field artillery of the thirty- fifth division. He served as Lieut. Colonel during the battle of the Ar- \gonne Forest, where he commanded his regiment, was later promoted to colonel of his regiment, and altogeth er made a brilliant military record for himself. The parents of Alfred C. Warner came to this „country by sailing ship in March 1848. They were six weeks on the ocean.. At Brooklyn, Charles H. Warner was employed as an ex pert by the Brooklyn Flint ‘Glass company. In 1852 the company sent him back to London in charge of its -exhibit of products. These took the ■first prize at the great exposition at London. Afterwards he was the sup- •erintendent of the Planters Glass •company of St. Louis, and from 1<S65 •to 1882 was superintendent of the 'Great Western Glass company. For the last fifteen or more years of his life he lived retired. He was a re publican and cast his vote for that '■party in 1856. Alfred C. Warner spent his early \boyhood on his fathers farm on Long Island. He attended school there to the age of thirteen. In 1863 he found work in New York City as a mailing •clerk at the wages of $1.00 per week for the publishing house of D. Apple- ton & Company. In the ^ spring of 1867, when he joined his • family in \St. Louis, his experience with Apple- ton qualified him for a position with the Woodward book store, an old St. Louis firm with which he remained until 1871. In that year he went \back to New York and was chief clerk to J. B. Ford and Co., publish ers ol Henry Ward Beecher’s paper, The Christian Union, and other lit erary output of Mr. Beecher. In 1876 Mr. Warner again rejoined his family in St. Louis and in the summer of the following year came to Montana. For five years he was clerk at the Blackfoot Indian agency. Hie made his pioneer trip to Montana by railroad as far as Bismarch and thence by steamboat up the Missouri to Fort Benton. Going back to St. Louis, Mr. Warner lived in that city until 1885, when he established his permanent home in Choteau, Mon tana. He was at this time appointed postmaster and also held the position as justice of the peace. He next kept books for Hazlett and Hamilton, pioneer merchants of this city. He was also associated with the firm of Burnet and Warner, one of the earl iest sawmill enterprises of Teton county. They operated a mill twen ty-five miles above this city on the Teton river. In 1887 Mr. Warner sold his interests in this business and since has given his time to office work. He was appointed U. S. com missioner in 1889, and filled that of fice for over thirty years. JHe was elected county clery of Teton county in 1896, and by reelection held that post twelve years. Mr. Warner has never married. He was an active republican, and is a charter member of Chevalier Lodge No. 12, Knights of Pythias, and has held all the offices in the lodge, and been grand representative,-a humber of times. .He is also a member of Great Falls Lodge No. 214, Benevo lent and Protective Order of Elks and Rathbone Temple No. 25, Pythian Sisters of „Choteau. ........... .» In the passing of XByjlg^Al Warner we lose one whose''loss.will be keen ly felt. He had the qualities of heart and the life characteristics of his class, hatred of shams,(fidelity to friends,* unswevering honesty, busi ness integrity, all tending* to make him respected and honored. He had little use for set phrases or so called polite forms of speech. He was blunt, truthful and sincere. He was one who as Garfield once said would “look the devil in the face and tell him he was a devil.” Like all old timers he hated shams with the in tensity of Carlyle, despised pretence and cant, but none.ever had greater reverence for true worth and piety. Funeral services will be from the K. of P. hall Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock. Burial will be made in the Choteau cemetery.

FDREST SERVICE THE VALUE OF WOOD AS FUEL Probably wood is not available^ at present nor is-ih, adapted, to: the needs* of'iiH-as a household fuel, neverthe« less it has certain advantages for that purpose which are often over looked. It has been determined by careful experiments conducted at the forest products laboratory at Madison, Wis consin, that when a good soft coal iB selling at $12.00 per ton one can af ford to buy, a cord of wood of the dif ferent kinds offered for sale in this region at the following rates, includ ing the cost of sawing into stove lengths. Red or Douglas fir. __________ $7.20 Larch or tamarack __________ 8.87 Lodgepole pine, yellow pine or hemlock ________________ 7.00 White pin ______________ _ ____ 7.20 Wood burned green has about 90 per cent of the fuel value of thorough ly air seasoned wood but it is much more difficult to start and makes more smoke. Th bark of such woods as Douglas fir has about the same heating value as an equal volume of wood. Pound for pound of weight and given equal conditions of drynses and similar methods of utilization all kinds of wood have very nearly equal heating value, but a measured cord of hard wood will weigh a great deal more than a cord of equally dry soft wood, and Is therefore capable of producing- more heat. Wood cut from dead trees, if sound, will not produce an appreciably less amount of heat than that cut from green trees and seas oned. A ton of good coal will liberate enough soot sufficient to damage the appearance of yaur neighbor’s Mon day washing and smudge the paint on several buildings. It will also pro duce 200 to 300 pounds of worthless ashes for you to carry out and dis-; pose of. A cord of. wood makes very little soot indeed, and will produce less than sixty pounds of ashes con taining about two pounds of potash, and fifteen pounds of lime, both of which ingredients are a valuable fert ilizer for your garden, orchard or berry patch. When you buy a ton of coal your dealer sends much of your twelve dollars out of the community to the .mines to pay for the coal and gives another large portion of the money to a railroad, overcrowded during the rush season, in payment for a long freight haul. On the other hand when you buy a cord of wood nearly all of the money is spent locally by the fanner or sawmill operator in payment for labor, clothing, groc eries, tools and taxes, thus stimulat ing local industry and trade and sup plying remunerative winter occupa- L Two new pupils have entered the eighth .grade this week,Jessie Edgar and Harvey Willis. C'L Albert’. Youngblood- entered second grade week. V -*- v - Marjorie Ye'ageiTeht'efedrbe''tblrcf grade' last Monday. June Edgar from Bynum entered Miss Albert’s room Monday. The fourth grade’s new pupils are Margaret Edgar, Evan Thompson anc£ Emil Youngblood. Tbe fifth grade received a quarter If there Is. a class, the best in the school, The kids full of pep to the last, Who gets up and gets there and has lots of push ' Then that is the sophomore class. The best state in the world,- the» best school in the state, The best class in the school; and I guess that’s all of the best, best yet Is the sophomore class of T. H. S. On account of the snow and cold weather last Saturday, the football team did not go to Fort Benion for the scheduled game. Walter Dow, Siegfreidt and Searles Andrews have been on the sick list during the last week. The students were given the last periods of the day on Friday for st matinee dance. The first quarter report cards were issued Monday. Basketball practice started last week for the ’boys and girls. The first game Is scheduled for December 8, either with Conrad of Big Sandy. Since a new mirror has been in stalled in the girls locker room, the girls have started dressing for /gym ten minutes earlier than usual. Freshman boy— (wanting to know title of song)—“Is this song about ‘you and I’?” Miss Williamson—“I don’t think BO.” Those desiring plum pudding for Thanksgiving phone the domestic science department, before Wednes day, November 22. Price 75 cents a pound. Professor Williamson, Mr. Sweat and several T. H. S. students went to Great Falls Saturday to attend the footbal game between Great Falls and •Butte. ' ....... The students in French II class are busy preparing a French play entitled \Rosalie.” The football players had their pict ures taken last Monday. Mildred Mansfield discontinued to attend school last Friday. She left on the same day for Mexico. It is said holiday for the second time. Byron Rogers from Farmington one the senior boys is feeling quite entered the fifth grade Monday. tion for local labor. As a rule the quality of wood that Is cut into fuel is ’ unsuited to the manufacture of any but the poorer grades of lumber and in the present stage of our economic development would probably be wasted if not utilized for fuel. Unlike coal, which when once mined out is gone for all time, wood is a growing crop which wastes if not harvested when ripe and which can be constantly repro duced from the same ground. There fore the wise use of wood is true economy. ’ Think it over and take your choice. Possibly it will pay you to let the wood pile keep you warm, cook your meals and finally furnish you with daily healthful out-door exercise If you desire i t sad this week. Several accuracy and speed cre dentials were received this week- in the commercial department for the award tests on both the Remington and Underwood typewriters.
