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.
