TO PREVENT BLACK LEG
Vaccination Discussed by Shonkin
Stock Association.
iMPAIRS THE VITALITY
Will Not Be Continued Where no Cases
Exist Privileges OF the Associ-
alton Denied Those Who Brand
Their Own Calves

Great Falls, May 22-The Shonkn
Stock association held it's 18th annual
meeting at Fort Benton Friday even
ing, and there was an excellent at
tendance. According to the reports of
the different committees, the associa-
ton and its affairs are in very ex-
cellent condition. M. E. Miner pre-
sided as chairman and John B. Turton
of Helena acted as secretary.
The question of black leg and vacci-
nation for it was very fully discussed,
and the association voted not to con-
tinue the latter this year, it being the
sentiment of those present that while
vaccination is of use where the dis
ease exists, it Is not necessary where
there are no cases of black leg. 1t was
also said that the vaccination impairs
the vitality of the animal subjected to
it and arrests it's growth to an appre-
ciable degree. The association decided
to purchase 20 thoroughbred heifers
and bulls, which will be placed on the
Shonkin range this season, the cost to
be met by an assessment upon those
benefited.
A resolution was passed denying the
privileges Of the association to those
who range and herd their stock and
brand their own calves. AS the reve-
nue. of the association is derived from
its calf branding and beef shipments as
an organization it was deprived of its
just dues by the practice, against which
this resolution was passed.
G. w. Rouse was chosen captain of
the roundup, which will begin the
work of the season on June IL at Cut
Bank, in the Arrow Creek country.
The sale of the mavericks brought
out some lively bidding, which started
at $12 per head. James BARLEY finally
made the winning offer of 1925, the
highest price received by the associa-
ton, and which is believed to be the top
figure paid in Montana. Six or seven
years ago the association received but
$3.50 per head, and the Musselshoal
mavericks of this season have been
contracted at SIG.
Proceeding to the election of officers,
Messrs. M. E. Miner, Charles Lepley
and Malcolm Morrow were chosen as
the executive committee, of which Mr..
Miner will be the chairman The water
right committee will have the same
membership as during the past year.
At the meeting of the executive COM
mittee on Saturday morning, Major
Thomas A. Cummings was appointed
clerk of the committee, which carries
with it the position of secretary anu
treasurer of the association.

IN SECRET SESSION.
The City Treasurer Will Enforce the
License Ordinance.


License Ordinance.
Great Falls, May 22.-The major part
of this evenings session of the city
council was spent in one of it's mys-
FERROUS executive sessions. No reports
of the proceedings was made, but 1t is
understood that the council considered
the matter of reducing the license on
the breweries of the city. The city
treasurer said he had received mys-
terious instructions on the subject, and
as he interpreted them he was merely
left to enforce the ordinance now in
force. AS he has been trying to the
best of his ability to do this he ex
pressed a determination to collect all
licenses regardless of the person who
pays them. The council also extended
an invitation to President Mckinley to
include Great Falls in the itinerary of
his Western trip. All petitions regard
ing extensions of water mains were re-
ferred to the water commissioners. The
fire committee reported favorably on
the petition of J. T. Miller for permits
sion to build brick building on First
avenue south. The report was adopted.

FIRE RECORD.
Incendinrism at Calender.

FORT DODGE, Ia. Aug. 3o.-(Special
Telegram. 1.-THE little town Of Calender,
situated on the Rock Island south Of Fort
Dodge, was visited by frebugs Tuesday
morning. Shortly after midnight the town
people were awakened by cries of fire and
1t was discovered that the large corn cribs
OF Pratt & Co. of Chicago, and situated on
the outskirts OF the town were ablaze. Men
were soon on the spot and vigorous effort
was made to extinguish the flames. There Is
no fire organization in the town and the fire
was fought with buckets. While engaged
in the attempt to ~extinguish the flames the
cry of fire came from the heart Of the town.
The private barn Of A. Thorarude was in
flames. There was a strong smell Of kerosene
about the place. The granaries were aban-
doned and the fire in the own engrossed the
attention of the fire fighters. The citizens
thinking that an organized effort was being
made to burn the town organized a posse to
patrol the streets and sent to Fort Dodge
for a fire company. The flames were kept
from spreading, but the granaries contain
ing SO. 200 bushels of corn and other grain,
were a total loss. Almost certain evidences
of incendiarism have been discovered and
a vigorous effort Is being made to discover
the guilty party.

NATURE CONQUERED BY MAN
TerrOrs of Travel to the KiOndike
Removed by a Railroad.

On May 26, 1898, less than one year from
the date of this sketch, the approaches to the
White pass of the Chilcat mountains pre-
scented their primeval chaos and silence.
Over an icy trail an endless line Of dumb.
determined argonauts plodded their weary
way.
On the 27th OF that month the silence Of
ages awoke. the granite hills shook under
the explosion Of tons OF giant powder and
900 laborers. armed with bar and barrow,
drill and dynamite, pushed out from the
headwaters Of Lynn canal, leaving two shin
ing lines OF steel in their wake. Other
railroads have conquered greater heights,
others have %spanned wider chasms, but for
rapidity of construction in the dead OF an
Arctic winter, over an almost insurmount-
able mountain range, the White Pass &
Yukon railway must ever stand in conspicu-
Gus ~pre-eminence.
At first the wiseacres smilingly nodded
their heads and whispered Scheme; Skag-
way has seen its best days, and there are
town lots for sale AS the grade neared
the granite wall, a mile high. and the SHOWS
filled every cut and canyon, ever the hardy

must surely tie up until spring, but the

Charters from the English government

and the international boundary line. Armed

DEATH RECORD.
Baron Albert Grant.

LONDON, Aug. 30.-Baron Albert Grant,
the company promoter, is dead. His title
was conferred on him by King Humbert In
1858 for services in connection with tn,
Victor Emanu gallery at Milan. Grant
was the Hooley OF his day. Grant was best
known in connection with the Emma silver
mine scandal. The capital was fixed at a
million shares Of $40. Three members of
Parliament were on the board of directors
and R. G. Schenck. the United States min
lister to Great Britain, was also a director.
This was considered a masterpiece OF pro-
motion, as Mr.. Schenck's name inspired
great confidence. The prospectus showed
that a dividend Of so per cent was possible.
Two Americans, Park and Stewart, were
the vendors of the mine. which turned out
to be worthless. Only a shilling per share
was saved from the wreck and it afterward
developed that Park and Stewart paid Grant
100000 promoting money, besides other
sums. Mr.. Schsnck Is said to have received
G10, 900 from Schenck to buy shares and
become a director. A report on the mine,
%purporting to come from Prof. Gilman of
Yale, was pronounced to be a forgery.
