Discussion on Sale Of Eggs.

In addition to hearing the reports
Of the delegation sent to Helena to
attend the hearing before the state
railroad commission and Of the carn1-
val committee, another committee
was appointed at a meeting OF the
chamber Of commerce and $4,000
club" held at the city hall last night.
This time the committee appointed
will investigate the identity Of Bill.
ings people who purchase OF eastern
mail order houses and the cause Of
their not patronizing the local mer-
chants.
The appointment Of the committee,
the members Of which are Fred Keil,
w. T. Denniston and Bert Albin, came
after a lengthy discussion during
which it developed that an organiza.
ton of farmers exists In this valley
the purpose OF which Is to purchase
goods from mail order houses, and
that more than 700 persons. in the city
Of Billings make purchases OF goods
described in catalogues Of eastern
houses. That, the merchants Of Bill.
ings, especially the grocers, were in
a way responsible for this was alleged
by some of the speakers, who stated
that the grocers wouldn't pay a fair
price to the farmers for their produce,
notably eggs, and that they compelled
them to take their pay in trade.
kelI Denies u.
This accusation was vigorously de-
MED by Fred Keil, who explained
that eggs were paid for in cash and
a fair price was paid to the farmers
for them. He stated. that the reason
eggs are shipped into Billings was
that less than '1NkIper cent Of the eggs
consumed ii Bilhhgs were produced
in the valley, and that the farmers
were unable to supply the great de.
mand$ for hen fruit.

the work done by the delegation sent
to Helena, votes of thanks will be

f. H. Hereford OF Tucson, who has
been in litigation with the Greene Cat
tie company for a long time for the

ARIZONA GUARDSMEn
MADE GOOD SHOWING
They Ranked Thiry-Fifh in
the Matches at Camp
Perry,

PHOENIX, Aug. 2S.-The shooting
matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, in which
the national guard of Arizona is inter
ested are over and the Arizona boys
have made good record. The follow.
ing telegram was received by Cover
nor Kibbey from Adjutant General L.
w. Coggins, who is with the team, the
message coming from Fort Clinton,
Ohio:
Matches over. Arizona team Sc
cured 35th place; New Mexico team
46th place. l leave tonight for Wash
ington"
There were fifty-one teams in the
contest this year, several more than
participated last year. II is not re-
called Just where the Arizona team
stood last year, but it was somewhere
in the forties, one official saying that
to the best of his recollection it was
18th, the place New Mexico holds this
year. A source of pride to the Ari-
IONA shooters will be their gain over
New Mexico which last year stood one
position ahead of them.
The detailed results will be awaited
with interest by the guardsmen here
The Improvement made by the Ari-
IONA team may be accounted for in
part by better equipment. but Off
setting this is the fact that when last
heard from the weather there was
very bad and much of handicap. The
chief cause for the better work will
therefore be properly credited to the
faithful, persistent and intelligent
work of the guard during the past year
and especially the team which was
encamped at Camp Brodie some time
for a practice shoot.
