Poison Cannery Breaks Records. The Poison Community Can- nery has had a record breaking canning season with 15,000 cans used to date. This has been the biggest year for the cannery. Not only local but many out- of-state canners, totaling 150, have taken advantage of the op- portunity to can their produce. Cherries has been the main pro- duce canned. Persons desiring to do further canning are urged to „do so at their first opportunity as the num- ber of cans on hand is about de- pleted and there is no assurance of receiving a new supply.

Poison, Lake County, Montana, Thursday, August 14, 1947 Price: Five Cents Obituary of J. H. Cline Joseph H. Cline passed away at his home in Poison Wednes- day of last week, August 6, at the age of 83 years. He was born in Pennsylvania and as a young man came west and for a time was a resident of Missouri, where he was married. Following his marriage he and his wife settled in Concordia, Kansas, where he engaged in the milling business and when the Flathead reservation was opened he decided to come to Poison. Here he engaged in the same bus- iness which he continued until his mill was destroyed by fire in 1929. Since that time he had lead more or less a retired life, spending his time between his home and the automobile bus- iness conducted by his three sons. It appears that his sons inher- ited the desire to be engaged in the automobile business from their father, as he was one of the first dealers in the state of Kan- sas many years ago. He sold the then famous White Steamer, and many amusing stories were told o his early experience in that ne of business, and from some of his stories possibly came the desire to get farther west where men could follow the dictates of their own hearts; the city of Poi- son was indeed fortunate to have Mr. and Mrs. Cline and their family cast their lot with this young and growing city. He loved the Flathead and gave liberally of his time and money for its betterment. He served the city as mayor and as such left a record that could easily be a mask for all mayors to try to attain. Always working for anything and every- thing that would be an improve- ment to the city, some of his ac- complishments are a monument to his service to the city. He was a Christian gentleman, an ardent worker in the church, a member of Poison Lodge No. 78 A.F. & A.M., and always took an active part in all Masonic Jr- ganizations and their work. He loved the great out -doors and spent considerable of his time hunting each season. He was a member of a hunting lodge lo- cated in the Thompson river country. Funeral services were held at the Retz chapel Friday morning, services being conducted by the Rev. Kenneth Killin of the Pres- byterian church with Masonic graveside services. The floral pieces were a tribute to the mem- ory of Mr. Cline and in a small measure showed the esteem in which he was held by the people of this community. Miss Dorris Harbert and Mrs. H. I. Johnson sang three numbers and the pall- bearers were old friends of the deceased, most of them his hunt- ing lodge companions. They were: Walter Stimson, J. U. Williams, A. L. Graves, Walter von Euen, Nels Carlson, H. S. Hanson, W. F. Emory a,nd J. A. Johnson. The people of Poison have in the death of Mr. Cline suffered a great loss and a man who will long be remembered for his many kind acts and deeds. Police Officers To Meet Here George Rhoades, with the Fed- eral Bureau of Investigation at Missoula, will be the principal speaker at a meeting of the northwest police officers associa- tion to be held at the court house Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. Police officers to the number of about 40 are expected to attend the meeting from Whitefish, Co- lumbia Falls, Libby, Kalispell and Bigfork. Mr. Rhoades will discuss in- vestigations, materials, and evi- dence connected with police work. All police officers of Lake County are requested to attend, says Wallace Beaudry, Lakc Co. Sheriff. MRS. DAVIS PASSES IN THIS CITY Funeral services for Mrs. El- la Davis, who died at a local hos- pital Sunday, were held Tuesday afternoon at Ronan. The services were conducted by Rev. Bert A. Powell of the Methodist church in that city and burial was in Mountain View cemetery. Pall- bearers were K. G. Johnson, I. M. Branjord, 0. C. Kemp, Lester Nadreau, G. L. Sperry and Wil- liam Sands. Mrs. Davis was in her 88th year and had been a patient at the hospital in this city for the past four years. Her husband. Steven W. Davis, died a year ago this month. The family came to the Flathead Valley in 1910 and lo- cated on a ranch in the Round Butte district, later moving to Ronan. She was born Nov. 16, 1858; at Elam, Minnesota CAR TURNS OVER, OCUPANT UNHURT A car being driven by Kenneth Anderson from Whitefish to Poi- son missed the corner on the highway by the Sunny Slope school house and turned over five times Sunday evening, 'at was reported by Wallace Beau- dry, sheriff. Mr. Anderson was alone in ;tie car and suffered, only minor scratches and bruises. The • car was a total wreck. He paid a $27.50 fine on a reckless driving charge in the justice court of L. A. Gipe on Monday, it was further stated. W. J. Frowen Dies Of Heart Attack A great many friends and rel- atives will mourn the loss of W. J. Growen, 62, of the East Lake shore, who died of a heart at- tacke Wednesday morning at 2 o'clock at his home. Mr. Frowen had been a resi- dent of the east lake shore since 1940 and was employed as chief operator of the Hell Roaring Dam. Prior to his arrival here Mr. Frowen resided in Butte where he was a stationary engineer for the A.C.M. Later he owned and operated a Shell Oil gas station there. In his earlier days Mr. Frowen was a well known jockey. He held a life membership in the Masonic and Royal Arch lodges and was a member of the Shrine. He is survived by his wife, a brother, Granite Frowen of Butte and a niece, Mrs. C. N. Brough- ton of Seattle. Masonic services will be con- ducted at Poison and burial will be in the Butte family plot. Fur- ther arrangements are pending word from relatives. Justice Court Had Busy Week Justice of the Peace L.

Hanson, held on an as- sault charge, was fined $25 and Alex R. Bear paid a $10 fine for disturbing the peace.

Peak Danger Period for Fires Is at Hand Warning that the peak danger season for destructive range grass and grain field fires is at hand, ranchers, farmers and the pub- lic in general were urged to day by Geo. W. Gustafson, coordin- ator of the Montana Rural Fire Fighting service to exercise ev- ery possible precaution to pre- vent such fires from starting. Gustafson pointed out that with :grass curing on the range, grain crops maturing and other vegeta- tion becoming dry, only a small spark may touch off a fire that might cause serious loss of grain crops, range forage, or farm buildings and equipment. Careful disposal of cigarettes, matches and other smoking ma- terial by making sure they are dead out is especially necessary at this time of year, he said. He also urged that farm oper- ators take steps to prevent mo- torized grain harvesting equip- ment from starting dangerous stubble fires. By adding an ex- tra length of pipe to the exhaust of .trucks and other gasoline powered equipment so that the pipe may be turned upwards in- stead of downward into the com- bustible stubble, a common cause of grain field fires will be elim- inated. he said. Members of rural fire fighting units in the state were also re- minded by Gustafson to be on the alert and to be sure that their equipment and personnel are ready for quick action when the need arises. Thus far, he said, 53 Montana counties have organized fire fighting units under the state rural fire cnotrol law passed by the 1945 legislature. Membership in the units consists of farmers and ranchers as well as person- nel of cooperating federal, state and local agencies working under the direction of a county rural fire chief.

Program Set for All -day Affair 'Goodfellowship Day' this year will be held in this city on Sat- urday, August 16, and will be the 5th annual event of this kind sponsored by the business men and women of this vicinity and the Goodfellowship Club, which is a county-wide organization. In the past this celebration has been one of the big drawing cards .of the year, and weather permittig, this year will be no exceution; in fact, with the program arranged, it should excel any previous cele- bration put on by this organiza- tion. Every feature on the big pro- gram is entirely free to those who care to attend and in addition, everyone who enters the various contest will receive an award, if they should be declared the win- ner of the event in K hich they take part.

At this time of the year the display should be superb, and in- clude such flowers as dahlias, gladioli, asters, snapdragons, CO , - es and scores of other seasonable flowers. Nowhere in the state can larger and better flowers be grown than right here and this one fea- ture of the program should be worth the trip to see. A special invitation is extended to all to attend the floral display and to the tourists visiting the city on that date, it would be a kindly gesture if our citizens would call their attention to this part of the program and accompany them to the show.

Obituary ofJ. H. ClineJoseph H. Cline passed away
at his home in Poison Wednes-day of last week, August 6, atthe age of 83 years.He was born in Pennsylvania
and as a young man came westand for a time was a resident ofMissouri, where he was married.Following his marriage he andhis wife settled in Concordia,Kansas, where he engaged in themilling business and when theFlathead reservation was openedhe decided to come to Poison.Here he engaged in the same bus-iness which he continued untilhis mill was destroyed by firein 1929. Since that time he hadlead more or less a retired life,spending his time between hishome and the automobile bus-iness conducted by his threesons.
It appears that his sons inher-ited the desire to be engaged inthe automobile business fromtheir father, as he was one of thefirst dealers in the state of Kan-sas many years ago. He sold thethen famous White Steamer, andmany amusing stories were toldo his early experience in thatne of business, and from some
of his stories possibly came thedesire to get farther west wheremen could follow the dictates oftheir own hearts; the city of Poi-son was indeed fortunate to haveMr. and Mrs. Cline and theirfamily cast their lot with thisyoung and growing city. He lovedthe Flathead and gave liberallyof his time and money for itsbetterment.He served the city as mayor
and as such left a record thatcould easily be a mask for allmayors to try to attain. Alwaysworking for anything and every-thing that would be an improve-ment to the city, some of his ac-complishments are a monumentto his service to the city.He was a Christian gentleman,
an ardent worker in the church,a member of Poison Lodge No.78 A.F. & A.M., and always tookan active part in all Masonic Jr-ganizations and their work. Heloved the great out-doors andspent considerable of his timehunting each season. He was amember of a hunting lodge lo-cated in the Thompson rivercountry.Funeral services were held at
the Retz chapel Friday morning,services being conducted by theRev. Kenneth Killin of the Pres-byterian church with Masonicgraveside services. The floralpieces were a tribute to the mem-ory of Mr. Cline and in a smallmeasure showed the esteem inwhich he was held by the peopleof this community. Miss DorrisHarbert and Mrs. H. I. Johnsonsang three numbers and the pall-bearers were old friends of thedeceased, most of them his hunt-ing lodge companions. They were:Walter Stimson, J. U. Williams,A. L. Graves, Walter von Euen,Nels Carlson, H. S. Hanson, W.F. Emory a,nd J. A. Johnson.The people of Poison have in
the death of Mr. Cline suffereda great loss and a man who willlong be remembered for his manykind acts and deeds.

Peak DangerPeriod for FiresIs at HandWarning that the peak danger
season for destructive range grassand grain field fires is at hand,ranchers, farmers and the pub-lic in general were urged to dayby Geo. W. Gustafson, coordin-ator of the Montana Rural FireFighting service to exercise ev-ery possible precaution to pre-vent such fires from starting.Gustafson pointed out that with
:grass curing on the range, graincrops maturing and other vegeta-tion becoming dry, only a smallspark may touch off a fire thatmight cause serious loss of graincrops, range forage, or farmbuildings and equipment.Careful disposal of cigarettes,
matches and other smoking ma-terial by making sure they aredead out is especially necessaryat this time of year, he said.He also urged that farm oper-
ators take steps to prevent mo-torized grain harvesting equip-ment from starting dangerousstubble fires. By adding an ex-tra length of pipe to the exhaustof .trucks and other gasolinepowered equipment so that thepipe may be turned upwards in-stead of downward into the com-bustible stubble, a common causeof grain field fires will be elim-inated. he said.Members of rural fire fighting
units in the state were also re-minded by Gustafson to be onthe alert and to be sure that theirequipment and personnel areready for quick action when theneed arises. Thus far, he said, 53Montana counties have organizedfire fighting units under the staterural fire cnotrol law passed bythe 1945 legislature. Membershipin the units consists of farmersand ranchers as well as person-nel of cooperating federal, stateand local agencies working underthe direction of a county ruralfire chief.
