AUTOMOBILES
AS MURDERERS

Former Attorney General Nc
Veagh, in the following letter to
the Public Ledger, voices the SEN
timent OF man, woman or child,
whose life is daily exposed TO dan
ger at the hands OF thoughtless or
reckless automobiles who make
our public highways virtual
death trap. Read the letter.
TO the Editor OF the Public Led
ger:
Sri don't wish these days to
find fault with anybody or any
thing, finding abundant occupa-
ton in considering my own short
comiss. But having narrowly es-
capped instant death or manning
worse than death--three times in
the last fortnight while using
public highway with the utmost
precaution, | venture to ask, Is it
not just possible that murderers in
automobiles are taking an undue
advantage OF the immunity they
have secured for their crimes?
No doubt they are justified in
feeling secure that bribed Coro-
ncrs, bribed Magistrates and brib-
ed policemen, with their itching
palms daily crossed with this ac-
cursed blood money, will continue
a. long as they dare to acquit the
murderers-young or old, Of Ell
ther sex, laymen or clergymen,
drunk or so5cr-oi any wrong, and
lay all the blame on the innocent
victim. They will even induce by
ISLANDERS to declare that the MUIR
der was an unavoidable accident.
We are daily nauscated by such
lying, and yet it increases daily.
With the manufacturers de-
manding sales, with the newspap-
ers demanding advertising and
Coroners, Magistrates and police
men demanding brides nobody ex-
ccpt automobiles can now use
the highways belonging to all the
people without constant peril to
lie and Limb. Indeed, in this Grim
NAL madness they are now occa-
sionalIy killing themselves and
each other. In New York yestcr-
day man drove himself and wife
II death in front OF an express
Train rather than stop and listen.
Another speed maniac lost control
OF his car, killed the girl with him
and narrowly escaped death him

bile contributed SIS toward the

That is the Giastly record OF

Montana Crops Biggest Ever

George T. Slade, vice-president
Of the Northern Pacific Railroad,
who has just returned from a
western inspection trip, declares
that Montana will harvest the
biggest crop in it's history, barr
ing unforeseen damage between
now and harvest, which has not
yet begun. He said the states
small grain acreage is much larg-
er than any previous year.
Mr.. Slade agrees with other
good judges of crop prospects
that North Dakota crops are ex-
cellent in some localities, normal
in others and very poor in others.
Black rust has made it's appear
ance in some parts of western
and central Minnesota and has
done considerable damage to
wheat. Clay, Robinson & Com

Has Opened New Office

r. A. Baxter, of the firm of
Leahy and Baxter, attorneys and
counselors-at-law, who recently
dissolved partnership, has this
week opened an office in the First
National Bank block, where he
will in the future be ready at all
times to meet his clients as in
the past.
Mr.. Baxter has enjoyed a
splendid practice since locating
here, and although at one time
he was about decided to open Of
fees in Glendive, his many clients
will be pleased to learn that he
has decided to remain in Wibaux.

Rain Damages New Foundation

The heavy rain on Tuesday
caused considerable damage to
the concrete foundation for the
new brick block, on which the
brick work was to have COM
menced early this week. Although
reinforced with steel rods. the
concrete wall apparently had a
defect where the damage occurr-
ed. However, about thirty feet
Of the front wall, in one solid
piece fell in, necessitating the use
OF dynamite to remove the ruins,
and thus causing considerable
delay in the construction work.

Wibaux to Have Bskery

An enterprise to supply the
general public with everything in
the line Of fresh bakery goods is
the latest addition to our city,
and is being promoted by J. A.
Hart, an experienced man at the
business, and a we'll and favor
ably known resident Of this city.
Mr.. Hart has been getting the
building in readiness the past few
days, and expects to open for
business at an early date. There
is growing demand for bakery
goods in Wibaux, and the new
shop will undoubtedly enjoy a
substantial patronage. The bak-
cry is located in the building for
merly occupied by the tailor.

"Ruckerville" Booming

The new town of Mondoka,
which was only recently estab-
lished, though better known to-
day as Ruckerville, is said to not
only fourishing but enjoying a
very substantial boom.
The good people of that little
city recently elected a temporary
set of officers until such a time
when it will become a suberban
town in EAST" Wibaux-''The
Coming City of Eastern Mon
tana."
With Little" Peterson, who
won so much fame on the Wibaux
Tigers ball club, as mayor, Dave
Tucker, the steady old war
horse" as chief of police, and
Fridley as magistrate, Rucker-
Vile the real ''gate city" to the
Treasure State will undoubtedly
be recognized as one Of high
morals and great civic pride.

A Model Workshop

While out taking notes" the
first Of the week the writer hap
pened into the mechanical depart
ment of the Wibaux Auto Co.,
where, through the courtesy Of
Manager McNaughton, we were
afforded the opportunity Of see
ing the inside workings of what
might we'll be termed model
workshop, with every facility for
turning out iron repair work, and
with none but competent hands
in charge.
Probably but few people realize
the cost Of installing machinery
such as may be seen there, and
less are aware of the class of
work that the various machines
are designed to handle. With
turning lathe, shaper. power
drills, saws, etc., and men that
know the business, the Wibaux
Auto Co. is capable of, and has
been, turning out some very neat
work.

Hail Visits
Golden Valley
Many Crops are Total
lyDestroyed---
Most were Insured

During the past week the Col.
den Valley and other sections Of
Eastern Montana were visited by
soaking rains which will materi.
ally help all late soWn grains and
put the soil in excellent condition
for early fall ploWing, though in
certain localities it was accom-
panied by hail which totally de-
stroyed the crops.
Just how extensive the hailed
districts are would be hard to es-
innate at this time, but it is be-
lieved that in most cases the
crops destroyed were partially
insured, while some of the farm
ers within the hailed districts
had a small percentage of their
crops already harvested.
In the vicinity of Horse Point,
south of Wibaux, it is stated that
a strip extending about six miles
long and three miles wide was
practically all destroyed, while a
number of farms north of town,
which were visited by hail last
year were also destroyed in the
recent storm.
The hail also done considerable
damage in the country north and
south Of Yates and Beach, and
tributary to Glendive.

was recently reorganized, and
that they are now doing business
under the supervision of the state
banking laws.

Express Rates Change

On August l the recent ruling
of the interstate commerce COM
mission regarding express rates
went int effect and it is said that
this will mean a reduction of
about 20 per cent in express rates
in the United States. The ruling
is to the effect that hereafter
where a package is shipped over
two lines, it gets a through rate,
and the two local rates cannot be
charged.

Time to Prepare Exhibits

1t will be worth the while of
Montana booster and publicity
organizations that desire to draw
attention to their districts, and
of farmers with land for sale,
and OF real estate men generally,
to be represented at the State
Fair which will be held at Helena
the last week of September.
Indications are that more home
seekers and prospective investors
will attend this years state fair
than ever before. Montana S
bumper crops, as contrasted with
the slim crops in the east, have
focused attention on this state,
and railroad officials are antici-
pating big rush Of land-spiers.
AS bird 's-eye view of the states
resources is given by the exhibits
OF the fair, many of these eastern
scouts will come directly to the
state fair, look over the exhibits,
and will then make a personal in
spection of the districts whose
exhibit at the fair catch their eye.
The valuable premiums that
will be awarded at this years fair
are we'll worth striving after, but
still richer are the indirect bene-
fits accruing to counties and in
dividuals making good displays.
The publicity and advertising
that follow bring in new people
and new dollars.

Worlds Costliest Building

The most costly structure in
the world, was built in memory
of woman. 1t is the Tig Nahal
tomb at Agsa, India, taking %
years to build, materials costing
500, 100000, and was erected in
memory of the wife of the grand
mogul. The influence of women
has ever been the leading one in
the world, and it is to their keen
discernment that golden grain
belt beers owe their rapidly grow
ing popularity. Women like it's
original flavor, tonic qualities,
and bracing value. Order a case

Death of State
Sec'y Yoder
A. N. YOder Met Sud-
den Death as Result
of Heart Failure

Secretary of State A. N. Yoder
died of heart failure Sunday af-
ternoon while picnicing at Union
vile with friends. Regarding
his death, a Helena special says:
with J. W. Christie, Mr.. Yo-
der on Saturday night went to
Unionville, where his wife has
been visiting Mrs. Christie in her
cottage for three or four days. A
large colony of Helena people is
camping there, and Mr.. Yoder
joined with zest in the sports of
the evening. He arose at 7:3O
Sunday morning and spent the
day until 2 O clock idling around.
He was seated in the Christie
camp when siezed with an attack
Of heart failure. He paled and
complained of feeling i'll. Mr..
Christie wanted to send to Helena
Immediately for a doctor, but
MIR. Yoder wouldn't hear of it.
He lay down and hot cloths were
applied to his breast and feet.
In half an hour he said he felt
better, that the pain had left him
and he would walk around in
few minutes. Shortly after 800
he was seized with a spasm and
became unconscious. Mr.. Christie
meanwhile had telephoned for a
physician, but when he arrived a
half hour later Mr.. Yoder was
expiring. He never regained
Consciousness.
Mrs. Yoder is almost pros
trated and is being cared for by
friends.'
In speaking Of the secretary's
death Governor Norris is quoted
as saying: Il deeply regret the
death of Mr.. Yoder, personally
and officially. Our official rela-
tions could be no more pleasant
than those | maintained with the
secretary of state. He was a ca
pable, efficient and conscientious
public officer, always on the job,
and devoted to doing his duty to
the best of his ability. In his
death Montana loses a faithful
public servant.
Mr.. Yoder was born in Ohio,
July 8, 1856, and came to Mon
tana in 1883. His first wife died
in 1899. He married again and
is survived only by his wife, no
children having been born to him.
The vacancy caused by Secre-
tary Yoder's death will be filled
for the unexpired term by Gov
ernor Norris.
