NO THRILLING is ALLOWED
Interstate Commerce Commission
Will Not Suspend Ruling on
Freight Rates

WASHINGTON, D. c., March g.
Denial of the request Of the railways
of official classification territory that
they be permitted voluntarily to sus-
pend the proposed advance in freight
rates from March Is to November
next. was made by the Interstate
Commerce Commission today. In its
recent decision the commission or
dered the companies to withdraw the
rates by March 10 or the commission
would put into effect an order effect
ing for at least two years the present
rates.
AS a result of a conference in New
York last Friday, several railroad
men and attorneys made application
to the commission asking permission
to withdraw the rates until November
/, stating that in that time their bus
mess might show a falling off in reve-
nues which would afford them an op-
portunity again to ask the commits
sion to consider an advance in rates,
when they would be enabled to make
better showing in support of the
request than in the recent cases.
Denial of the request was made in
letter to President Brown Of the
New York Central, written by Com
missioner Prouty.

COWBOYS TO JOIN
IN WOLF DRIVE

GLASGOW, Mont, March THE
greatest wolf drive of modern times is
being planned in this county. At least
300 cowboys will participate covering
an immense territory in a desperate
attempt to rid the stockmen of a pest
that has reached unusual proportions
the past winter
Henry McGregor, owner of a large
stock ranch in Valley county, is one
of the promoters of the idea. He ia
busy seeking recruits in all parts of
eastern and northeastern Montana
Arrangements are being made to get
every saddle horse in eastern Mon
tant. One cattle outfit has agreed to
furnish $50 horses and every cowboy
in its employ. Pack horses will con-
vey large quantity of provisions, as
the hunt will occupy about a week S
time, A number of steers will be ia
ken along and several barbecues will
be held.
Valley county lies in the extreme
northeastern part of Montana and en-
braces the largest range country in
the northwest. 1t is imm ediately adj
jacent to the Canadian frontier and
this winter has been infested with
large gray wolves driven south by the
rigors of the northern winter. The
animals have been unusually prevalent
on the range between the Canadian
line and the Missouri river, and this
territory will be the scene of the
drive.
Poison, traps and hunting the beasts
apparently have no effect upon their
numbers. The wolves travel in packs
of from six to twenty. Calves, colts
and sheep are helpless before their
rush. A quick nip from the wolves
hamstring the animals and they fall
upon their launches, ready prey for
the ravenous beasts. Even full grown
horses are not safe.
Elk, antelope and jackrabbits are
run down by a peculiar system of
crisis one wolf in the wake
of the quarry urging him on and the
wolves on both flanks keeping the
game scurrying now to the right and
then to the left. The effect of such
tactics is to worry the beast into
weakness and he is virtually run
down to exhaustion. The rabbit falls
an easy victim but the more nimble-
footed antelope is more difficult to
turn.

NO EXERCISE MEANS
SICKNESS, SECRET OF
LIFE IN THE TROPICS

MANILA. p. l., March THE in
vestigations of the bureau of health
and the experience of Americans in
the Philippines have demonstrated
the health of white people in the
tropics is a question of care. Health
and working vigor can be kept up
here as well as any place in the
world with proper care.
One thing that Is being impressed
more and more on insular Ameri-
cans by observation and experience.
is that good health cannot be MAIN
tanned in the tropics without physi-
cal exercise. There Is no denying
that the tendency in this country is
for everyone to avoid exercise as
much as possible. The danger to
health lies in giving way to this
tendency to muscular inertia. It's ef-
feet is noticeable in the physique Of
the average Filipino. Lack of exer-
else and the lack of nutritious food
combine with unsanitary habits OF
life to account for the physical weak
ness Of the race.
