BEGIN ARGUMENTS FOR
NEW TRIAL OF C00PERS
Attorney Holds That Son Should Not
Have Been Convicted with
Father

NASHVILLE, Tenn, April 21.-The
arguments for new trial in the
Cooper case began today before Judge
William Hart. The two defendants,
Col. D. B. Cooper and Robin j. cooper,
who were found guilty of the murder
of former United States Senator Car
mack and given twenty years I'M
prisonment, were in court early.
General Washington, for the defense,
said: zone of the points 1 want to
take up is the argument mace py tne
state that Colonel Cooper fired the shot
which killed Carmack. If ever there
was a case where the state of mind
of two defendants should have been
considered separately, this was the
case, and yet the jury did not SO con-
slider and was not so instructed.
Washingtons entire attention seemed
to be devoted to the claim that Robin
should not have been convicted with
his father.

WASHINGTON, April 21.-The seiz-

The state department has VainlS
tried for ten years to obtain from
Great Britain a definition Of its atti-

THE United States insists Hecate strait
is an open sea, and should the con-
trary view finally prevail 1t would
have a serious effect on the hshing IN

The strait lies between the MAINLAND

FAST TRAIN OVER new line

| Compete With Northwestern Through
Great Fails.
1t has been officially announced that
the Burlington will install fast SER
vice to compete with the Northwest
ern-Northern Pacific limited, says the
Billings journal. The Burlington
train. will consist of 4 baggage car,
combination buffet and commissary
car, first class coach, diner and stand
arm sleepers. In fact, it will consist
OF practically the same equipment as
the Burlington Nos. 1 and 8 between
Chicago and Denver, which is COM
posed Of first-class. modern passenger
equipment.
The heavy forces ON the track for
the last few months have put the
roadbed in first class condition, and it
will be necessary to put the train OH
fast schedule to compete with the
Northern Pacific service.
a we'll grounded rumor is that the
new Burlington train will run from
Chicago to Billings via Omaha and
sheridan, thence over the Billings Il
Northern to Great Falls, and continue
over the Great Northern to Spoka ne.
where it will take the new route over
the North Bank road to Portland.
AS soon as the new yearly contract
is let for the carrying of mails, it is
said, mail service will be inaugurated,
thereby adding to the revenue of the
train.
The new service, so it is announced.
require three new passenger crews
and four new passenger engines and
crews. Also additional telegraph SER
vice along the line.
The Bills boys, formerly of this
place, appear to be taking an active
part in building up Judith Gap. the
recently established town in Montana.
At recent meeting of the newly or
ganized commercial club, Glen Bills
was elected vice president and Hal
Bills secretary of the Club. Both are
enterprising and capable young men
and will no doubt be instrumental in
building up Judith Gap. which prom
ises to be one of the good towns of the

pleased to learn of their success in the
west.-Ada Mimi Herald.

this matter. put it in practical oper-
alton and realize few millions out
OF the investment.
IN the SnOwies at a high altitude
there are innumerable springs that
supply the running streams that flow
through this large territory. There
is natural reservoir in these noun
tains that with a little artificial assis-
lance from man could be made to hold
millions and millions of gallons of
water. Enough and to spare to irri.
gate the thousands of acres of rich
tlllable land now being used for pas
ture. Water will not be necessary to
raise winter wheat or rye in this ter
ritory. but for fruit, alfalfa, sugar
beets and spring wheat, oats, and
barley, the results from irrigation
would be ten fold what it would be
from dry farming. This water from
the reservoir could be tlitched to every
quarter section in this territory ut
very little expense, and the supply is
simply ineNhaustable. With irriga-
ton this soil would produce apples
alone that would amount to 81, 800 an
acre. There is great future for the
Careless creek country. That reser-
yo!r will be built someday, and the
country tributary to its never failing
waters will support tremendous
population.

eminent Dlscontinues The TIBET Postofiice.
The picturesque names Of the early
Montana are passing away, like the
prospectOr and the cowboy. The lat
est to pass is that Of TIBET, erstwhile
home of the Indian and the cowboy
and Mother Barrows, dispenser of
true western hospitality. More than
quarter of a century ago, consider
ably more, it was that Tibet was To-
Gated upon the map of northern Mon
tana, and for the cowboys. Indians,
and like citizens, to make TIBET was
to make square meal, for in adtli-
ton to his home place, John Barrows
also dispensed food for the weary-or
ut least Mother Barrows did, and it
was food with a savory reputation.
Located III the Judith Gap, TIBET
made a convenient half way place
from anywhere to anywhere else and
the hotel, one saloon, one blacksmith
shop, and, in time, one store, did a
thriving business; investigation of
the early history Of TIBET would re-
veal number Of punctuation marks
of .45 size, but no one thought the
less of Ubet for that in the early
time.
And now comes order from the
postofiice department. that Tibet. as
an official handle wherewith to direct
United States mail, is no more; from
here the name Of TIBET drops down
and out of the government directory
and the new name of Judith Gan
takes the postal cards. True, Judith
Gap is not a name to be sneezed at.
but beside the name of TIBET it
dwinlles into the ordinary-very or
binary.
Yet, though the name of TIBET NAV
be wiped off the official map of Uucle

tory for many years to come, and,
who knows but that III some far off
