The Utah Montana league is the result

abandoned.

A LIBEL on BUTTE.

The New York Herald states that Bir-
mingham, Ala. is the wickedest city in
the United States, and that Atlanta, Ca,
and Butte, Mont, come next on the list.
AS to the statistics upon which the
Herald bases it's assertion, we quote from
its columns the following about Bir-
mingham:
There were 1925 arrests in Birmingham
last year.
Do you grasp what this means?
1t means that 25 per cent OF the popu-
lation saw tine inside of police stations.
1t means that every fourth person in
the city had an unpleasant quarter OF
All hour or more with a policeman?
It means that Birmingham, Ala. Goth
in the order of American cities stands
at the head of the list when it comes to
breaking the law of the land. 1t is sone-
thing to have a record!
Drunkenness and larceny are RESPONSE
BILE for Birmingham's high-water mark
of arrests. There were more thieves
caught in this place last year than We're
caught, in proportion, anywhere else in
the country. And, leaving aside all
questions of proportion, the number
1123-is exceeded only by nine other cities
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, ST.
Louis, Boston. Baltimore. Cleveland,
Buffalo and Washington-and in any one
of these Birmingham might be slowed
away in an odd corner and nobody know
1t was there.
The Herald article continues:
After Birmingham in point of wicked
ness, come Atlanta and Butte. We are
accustomed to considering the wild and
woody Western land as the home of too
much trouble hence there will be less
wonder al the bad record of Butte
than at tine showings of cities in the
supposedly peaceful South. Thirteen
per cent of arrests is the figure for the
30.470 folk who live in the city on the
hills of Montana. AS in the case of
other cities, Buttes naughtiness is
sscriba BILE, in the main, to rum.
The Herald claims to have obtained
from the census returns the figures upon
which it bases it's classification of Butte
in the matter of public morality That
is sufficient to explain the injustice of
the article. While the census returns
may give Butte a population of only |
30,4l0, it is a fact that the municipal |
boundaries do not include one-haIf the
total population, the suburbs being more
densely settled than the central portions
of the city. The official population may
be but $4,000, yet there are no fewer than
$4,000 people within the jurisdiction of
the local courts upon whose cases the
census returns were made up. The truth
probably is that the number of ar
rests in proportion to the population in
Butte is no greater than in 80 per cent
of the cities of the United States.

Bright Ideas of

1t Is said that one-seventieth Of the

sixty-nine seventieths are trying to work
them for free rides.-Great Falls Trth-

1t Is believed the time Is not far dis
tant when Northern Montana stockmen
Will market a good percentage of winter
fed beef. Something in that direction
has been done in recent years, and the
good returns from the experiment justify
the belief that it will be practiced more
extensively in the future. The South Da-
kota cattle that received the top price OF
the season brought a gross figure of
about $S5 per head-an object lesson
which shows that winter feeding is not
an Improbable investment.-Fort Ben

RICH GIRL IN STEERAaE
Wealthy Roumanian on Her Wav to
North Dakota,

Baltimore, Md.-An 18-year-oh Rom
manian girl, who says she is worth
$4,000 was one of the steerage passen-
gers on steamship that arrived a few
days ago from Bremen. During the in
spectlon she was asked If she had anv
money and she said she had $50 0OO She
displayed necklace said to be worth
several thousand dollars. Owing to the
fact that she was crying bitterly from
inconsistencies she was unable to answer
questions.
She wore the boots frequently seen on
women in the steeragee. a short black
skirt, close-fitting waist of knit goods
and a belt embroidered IN bright colors
an eton jacket of gOatskin, with the fur
inside, and kerchief over her head.
She accompanied Braikan Dumitru, his
wife and four children. The party at
tracted unusual attention. owing to the
goatskin coats worn. The jacket was
loose fitting, came up high back of the
neck. and had sleeves which covered the
hands. The insides of the garments wexe
lined with white and edged with black
goats hair The hide. bleached a Alean
white, formed the exterior of the sgar-
ments. 49,
The man had a Turkish fez of goatskin,
from which protruded quantity of hair.
He wore long goats hair cape over a;
suit of what appeared to he heavy white
cheesecioth, the coat reaching nearly
down to the knees and spreading out like
the short skirt Of q ballet dancer Around
his waist was broad leather belt, bright
with brass ornaments. -
The mans chest shone with light brass
chains, used to draw his goatskin coat
tightly about him. a gilded chain, from
which was suspended an emblem of the
Greek church, and a brass-tipped leather
strap. from which hung hip pouch of
leather used to carry odds and ends.
The family have been prosperous farm
ers in Roumania. They decided to move
20 the great Northwest. They were three
