duets.
The impression prevailing in
many quarters that the west is crude
undeveloped and still in pioneer
condition was as far as possible dis
PEELED, and a great deal was done BY
this tour to convey truth and correct
ideas concerning the west. The idea
of the trip was unique and ambitious
in conception, and far more was ac-
complished than was anticipated.
The publicity secured by this method
could not possibly have been secured
by any other means, and the fact
that western officials were members
Of the party and giving out the i'll
formation seemed to convince every
one of the truth Of the facts pre-
sented
Il did not find any antagonism to
i the west in the east, but rather a
| lack of information concerning this
country, and it seemed to me that
the east gladly received information
concerning the great empire west Of
the Mississippi river. feel it to be
the duty of the west to in every leg
ltimate way possible let the world
know what the west has TO offer,
and thereby in some measure at
least check the emigration Of Amer
lean citizens towards the Canadian
/ provinces.
Everywhere | have found people
much interested in and desirous of
having information gained BY me
upon the trip. I am confident that
this state is on the eve of unusual
development and growth. Many II
nanciers with whom | talked express
sed the opinion that more prosper
Gus times are near at hand and that
when the financial situation becomes
easier the west will grow and deyel-
op as at no former period IN its his
tory.
In each Of the states visited the
governor was with the party during
the time spent in his jurisdiction. 4
reception committee from each OF
the cities visited met the party and
every hospitality possible was ex-
tended.
Several eastern governors advo-
Gated a like tour from the east to

Complete Report OF Grand Jury

Pursuant to an order made by
the district court, the grand jury
convened at O'Clock a. m
Wednesday, Dee. 6, 1911, at the.
court house in Glendive, Montana.
This was the first call Of
similar nature in eighteen years.
For the public welfare We. reco-
mend the calling together Of
grand jury at intervals Of not less
than two years. Conditions justify
this conclusion.
Regarding the so-called red
light district, we recommend that
all music and dancing Of public
or private nature, as well as the
sale or distribution of intoxicat-
ing liquors on the premises be
prohibited. In this relation, II
segregation Of this evil is to be
}countenanced it shud be enforced
| to the extent Of confining to the
district, every person connected
with it in whatever capacity. Just
! by what authority certain saloons
lin this county convert themselves
into concert saloons is conjecture
In our oponion there is nothing
more demoralizing than this al
legged music in the saloons, ana
! the officers are not doing thelr
duty to allow such to continue.
Considered as a memento, the
! city iail Of Glendive is worthy Of
notice. AS a place Of detention
for man or beast it is impossible
and shud be condemned.
Conditions at the county jail
are satisfactory with the single
/ exception of being over crowded.
i We understand that this condition
is only temporary, pending re
pairs.
We recommend that the county
| commissioners refrain from the
granting Of licenses for the SAFE
of intoxicating liquors IN isolated
places. In our opinion too many
such have been granted. " nen
adequate police protection IS I'M
practicable or impossible, there
shud be a prompt eurtailment O
such conditions, even to the e1-
tent OF reVoking any such licenses.
/ We recommend that any of1leef

chase OF county supplies, Wua pe

such supplies are bought. ms

NORRIS TELLS
RESULTS OF TRIP
East Has Eyes Opened to
Wonders Of Northwest.

Helena, Dec. "a. -Goyernor Edwin
/. Norris today made the following
statement concerning the'recent Sin
yasion Of the east" by the western
governors, the manner in which the
TOUR was financed, and the possible
result of the missionary work done
for the west on the trip.
"The idea originated with and the
tour was organized and conducted
bv former Governor James n. Brady
Of IDAHO and his untiring efforts
contributed largely to the success of
the tour.
For the financing Of the tour the
state of California and the 2 anama-
Pacific Exposition company contrib
uted $4,000, and seven other states
contributed 81, 500 each, making al
aggregate of SIS, 500. The total ex-
penSes of the trip were about $l3, 900
50 that there will be a small balance
on hand. The 81, 500 assessed to the
state of Montana was raised by Lew
is sPenWell through private subscrlp-
tOns, and the Northwestern DeVel-
opment league,
The Great Northern, the North
er Pacific and the Burlington rail
roads contributed the equipment of
the special train, the greater portion
being furnished by the Great North
ern. Aside from furnishing the
equipment, the railroads betrayed
no portion Of the expenses.
The tour commenced at St, Paul
on Nov. 2zand ended at the same
place on Dec. Is. The following
places were visited: Chicago, I'll; Kali
ainazoo, Grand Rapids and Detroit,
Mich; Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus,

There were in the train five ex-
nlolt cars filled with the products Of
me western states represented. AT
each city visited these exhibit cars
were open for inspection, and as
many people as could crowd through

CITY AUTO TAX TO
BE UNCHALLENCFD

Little Rock, July 2O.-It appears
unlikely that there will be any test of
the automobile tax law in Little Rock.
The question has been raised of the
right of the city to tax automobiles in
addition to the state tax provided by
the Hughes act, and some of those
who had at first expressed determi-
nation to resist the city tax have de-
cided to pay it. They look upon it,
however, more as a free-will contribu-
ton to the city to keep up the streets,
and say they could defeat it in the
courts. The new state law becomes
effective August 13, and already 1870
automobile owners have taken out the
tax of SIS. Helena sent in 23 applica-
tions in one mail, and yesterday IL
came in from Marinna. This is less
than one-ffth the total number in the
state, however, and the secretary of
state urges that owners send in their
applications at once, with the money,
so there will be no delay.

JUDGE TAKES A
CASE FROM JURY
RAILWAY given VERDICT
IN DAMAGE SUIT OF F.. A RAM
SEY, AFTER SECOND TRIAL
is HELD.

After all the evidence in the case
was in, Judge Eugene Landlord in
circuit court this morning granted a
motion asking for pre-emptory in
struction for the defendant in the
case of E. A. Ramsey, administrator,
against the st. L., |. M. & S. Ry. Co.,
and the railway won a second victory
IN big damage suit. The case when
first tried in the Faulkner circuit
court resulted in a judgment in favor
of the plaintiff for $500 damages
occasioned by the death of Engineer
S. J. Calhoun. 1t was appealed to the
supreme court, which reversed it on
the ground that the testimony was in
sufficient to sustain the verdict.
New testimony was secured in be-
half of the plaintiff, but after hear
ing the evidence Judge Landlord this
morning ruled that the additional tes-
timony added nothing to the merits of
the case as shown in the first trial
and which the supreme court had held
inadequate. Judge j. Fl. Harrod of
Little Rock, representing the plaintiff,
excepted to the courts instruction and
after the verdict was returned filed
motion for new trial, which was
overruled. The case will again go to
the supreme court.
Another railway damage suit is in
progress this afternoon, T. o. Bla-
lock, administrator, against the Iron
Mountain company. The plaintiff in
this case is seeking to recover $4,000
on account of the death of child who
was run over by train in Argenta.
An echo of the might riding" epi-
sode came up this morning, when the
damage suit of VIII McLain against
Robert Blythe and four others was
dismissed for want of prosecution.
McLain, it will be remembered, had
filed a suit for $4,000 damages and
also instituted criminal proceedings
against five of his neighbors who he
alleged had taken him out and admin
istered severe beating to him.
When the criminal case came up for
trial McLain had mysteriously disap-
peared, and all efforts to locate him
since then have failed.
Other proceedings on the civil dock
ct since yesterday noon:
Hollenberg Music Co. VS.. c. C.
Jones; order dismissing set aside.
Rigo Chemical Co. VS.. w. M. Witch
er; motion for new trial overruled.

5,4OO COAL MINERS
WILL RETURN TO WORK
WESTERN A RK A N SAS AND
EASTERN OKLAHOMA CASES
SETTLED.

Fort Smith, July 20.-Trouble in
the western Arkansas and eastern
Oklahoma coal fields between the un-
ion miners and operators and which
caused leading union officials of Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkan-
sas and International President John
P. White to come here, was amicably
settled at the second days conference
yesterday between union officials and
the operators. In the case of the Sans
Bois Coal Company of Chant McCur-
tain, Okla, where 450 men have been
on a strike the men were ordered
back to work and will resume opera
tions tomorrow morning. In this case
the men claimed the mine company re-
fused to pay them for draw slate al
though their contract called for dig
ging slate two inches or more in thick
ness. Instead of arbitrating the oues-
tion and continuing operations in ac-
cordance with its contract with the
miners the Sans Bols Company closed
down and the union penalized the
company $16,200.
The company now agrees to pay for
the slate as contracted for and the
penalty imposed by the miners will be
arbitrated.
In the case of the Central Coal and
Coke Company of Huntington, where
in the company refused to abide by a
decision of the arbitrator the compa-
ny agreed to accept the arbitrator's
decision and the men will go back to
work tomorrow. The company refus-
ed to pay for roll work and the miners
gained favorable decision on appeal
to the arbitrator The decisions af-
feet 5,400 men in the southwest field.
