L. w. HILL BUYS FRUIT
LAND IN WASHINGTON

L. W. Hill, president OF the Great
Northern railway, is going into the
fruit raising business, says the Pho
neer Press.
He has purchased a 40-acre tract
of Furry & Culver. who had an ex-
hibit at the Northwestern Land Pro-
ducts show from the Methow valley,
Washington.
II tasted several of their apples
and they were fine, SO l decided to
raise some of my own" said Mr. Hill
last night.
Mr.. Hill made this announcement
during an interview in which he de-
MED the Hill interests have been
considering the purchase of land
near Port Arthur, Can, for their
Midland railway terminals, as stated
recently in Winnipeg dispatch.
There is positively nothing to the
story. Our agents have not procured
any options, neither have they ap-
preached any one in that vicinity
with view to buying land. The on
ly land that has been acquired by
any Of the Hills recently is the 40
acre tract purchased in the Methow
valley today" he said.

Not alone is Montana eclipsing all
the other states in agricultural pro-
ducts, but she has set another pace
that will be difficult for the others
to surpass or even try to follow She
annexed this new laurel at theChi-
cago live stock market, in that the
highest price ever paid for range cat
tie on the market was given to F.
M. Heinrich, of Deer Lodge. Mr..
Heinrich sold on November 81 a
grade short-horn steer direct from
the range, which had never been fed
pound Of hay, and received $3.50
a hundred, 80 cents higher than has
ever been paid before on the Chi
cago market for range beeves.

The vaious kinds, classes and con-
ditions of eggs have been legally
classified aud defined by the pure
rood law that went into effect the
first of the year in Montana. So far
AZ the state is concerned there are
three varieties, and a heavy penalty
must be paid for misbranding.
Henceforth a fresh egg is to be
defined as an egg that shall not be
more than seven days old. and which
has never been treated with a pre-
sentative. The Montana solons
have decided that an average. nor
NAL. we'll behaved egg ought to
keep seven days without offense,
and consequently no evidence based
upon the odor will be admitted How
ever arbitrary this definition may be
1t certainly will go long ways to-
wards ruling out the strictly" fresh
class.
The law goes on to define a
ranch egg" as an egg Of indefinite
age, which has never been treated
by preservatives. and a lease egg"
IL an egg that has been preserved
by artificial means. These classes
are the only kinds of eggs that can
exist legally and the penalty for
calling an egg by a wrong name
even on the bill of fare in a restaur-
ant, or eating house, is severe
enough to make owners think twice
before acting contrary to the stat
utes.

The recent scandal alleged to have
been brought to light last week and
the unearthing of a whole grist of
family troubles. which has figured
prominently in police court. have
been great food for gossip. and AZ
the story has been going the rounds
day after day now for a week, 80
that almost everyone il acquainted
with the facts whole lot better than
we could record them and in more
detailed manner than we would care
to print them. and on account of
the innocent members Of the family
whose names would be dragged into
the case, we refrain from giving the
trouble more publicity than it al
ready has had. Theca sc was dis
missed in Justice court yesterday for
lack of discriminating evidence.

If we are going to increase the
growth of our city we must bring
more settlers in, and in order to ret
them here inducements must be
made that will get them to come
to this town and vicinity rather than
stopping off in other places. Cheap
lands are great inducement to
the land hungry Fasteners. And un-
til we can get land on the market
that is held by large owners, princi-
pally the lumber companies, we will
be about at a standstill. The lum-
Der companies who own the vast
tracts of cut-over lands should be
induced to cut them up into
small parcels and place them on
the market. They are the ones who
are retarding the growth Of the val
ley by holding their lands at a fan
cy price and offering no induce
ments to settlers.

Fourth district, Frank B. Guernsey,
Republican, 1922. Fifty towns missing.
Governor Plaisted, while admitting
Democratic defeat, was not downcast.
He said today:
I'm view of all the Republican Will
fication, l believe the showing made
by the Democrats of Maine need
cause no chagrin, especially as the
Republican majority is one of the
smallest ever known on a presidential
year. Republican majorities in these
years used to run az high as $4,000,
and the Democrats won in 1910 for the
first time in a generation.
Despite rumors to the contrary, the
two factions of the Republican party
were solidly united on the state ticket,
however much they may split later on
the national. I regard the going back
of the Republicans into the fold, how
ever, as only temporary and am pre-
pared ii enter the next campaign with
redoubled zeal"

About three months ago Mrs. Dilks

Oscar Tauer, superintendent of the

company, left last night for New York,
from which port he will sail for Ger

Tauer to Germany in forty years and
he is anticipating a great time. A few
days ago he was presented with a

his department at the piano factory
and last night he was given a typical

KNOCK OFF HEAD"
SAYS POLICE CHIEF
Gives This as His Solution if
the Badger Game" Is
Attempted Here.

Richmond, the Quaker City of the
West" the clean and beautiful CITY,"
and the home of churches" is rapidly
losing her reputation in the opinion
of Chief of Police Gormon, who de-
3iores the number of negroes of the
undesirable class who are invading
this city from all the larger cities of
this and other states.
Lately the badger" game has been
worked here by a number of negro
men and women of the lower class,
@ho by this little game earn good
living. Their operations are confined
to the dark alleys near the center of
the city, to Elm place. North and
South Eighth streets. and other
streets where trees and dark spots
make it easy for man to be accosted
by woman. She engages her victim
in conversation, then later another
from the man who has allowed him
self to be lead into the trap. The
victim usually pays rather than to
face a fight or the possibility of ex-
posture to his family or friends
Negro women have been bold, es-
pecially in the north end. Many
white men have paid them money &C.
cording to the police records. Re-
Gently a man visited the police sta
ton and told Chief Of Police Gormon
that he had been held up by a negro
woman who asked for money
Il was SO mad could have knocked
her head off," stated the man, who is
prominent here.

Gormon.
That is the chiefs solution, and his
advice.

POLICE FIND WOMAN
IDENTIFYING ABSH|RE
But Cling to the Theory that
Abshire Is Not the Muir
derer of Saunders.

The police department does not be-
lieve Henry Abshire, the Virginian IN
der arrest for the murder of Arthur
Saunders, is guilty, although a woman
man resembling Abshire run from the
alley shortly after the crime was COM
mitted.
The police cling to the belief that
the two negroes, Clara Saunders and
Green Park, are Withholding the true
story of the deadly assault and are
attempting to shield the guilty one.
Abshire is still in the city Jail He
seems undisturbed about the charge
preferred against him and the fact
that he will face the grand jury Thurs
day. He whites away the time whist
ling.
The two negroes maintain that the
murderer several times called out be-
my boy?" AS Abshire claims he has no
children living here and the police
have been unable to locate a son of
the accused man, strength Is lent to
Abshire's story that he is innocent.
Abshire gives the following story of
how he spent Saturday night:
II went to the Grand saloon and
played cards. afterwards going to a
five cent show. Then I met Mr.. Crick-
more. and we went to the market to-
Gether to get some things for dinner
Sunday and to meet his wife. We did

vegetables and then went down to my
room on North Seventh street to get
