MONTANA HOGS BRING TOP PRICE

Billings. Mont. April 9th. Mon
tana hogs fattened on a ration of al
falfa, sugar beets and barley. sold on
the Chicago market this week for the
highest price paid forporkers during
the present year. The shipment COM
prsed s5 hogs which averaged 200
pounds each. They were grown and
finished for market by E. Reilly of
this city on his farm near Huntley
and that the animals We're in tip-top
condition is not only indicated by
the fact that the figure received was
$7.95 per hundred, but that they
ranked highest among shipments
from Iowa, Illinois and other mid
die western states where corn is used
as a father.
When the animals were unloaded
in the yards at Chicago they caused
Il sensation among the buyers and
stockmen from the pork producing
commonwealth and a photograph
was taken of them by Wood Bros.
who will make use of it throughout
Montana. According to the records
in the general offices of the Northern
Pacific Railway Company at st. Paul,
the shipment was the first ever ham
died over that line from Montana to
the eastern market.

A Washington news item of recent
date says that members of the con-
ference committee on the three-yea,
homestead bill are receiving tele-
grams urging them to make the
homestead bill embrace the 800 acre
entry. 1t appears they are greatly
alarmed over the failure to include
these entries.
"That is exactly what is proposed,
to cover the 800 acre or enlarged
homestead entries." said Represen-
tative Pray, whose attention was
called to the matter. GAS it now
stands, the bill contains such u pro-
vision. At any rate that is the in
depreciation placed upon it by men,
bers of the conference committee.
My position all along has been that
the language dropped from the meas
ure with the elimination of section
two before the bill was sent to con-
ference should be restored, not as a
section, but in appropriate language
in proviso or otherwise as 4 part of
the amendment to section 2291 or
2297 Of the revised statutes. 1t does
not matter which section it modifies.
I am certain the billas it stands COW
ers the enlarged homestead, but rath-
er than leave shadow of doubt in
the way of a misconstruction at the
interior department l have strongly
urged that such words as these be
adopted.
'"rhat all existing pending entries
as we'll as all entries that may here
after be made requiring residence
shall be perfected under the terms of
this act.''
II have insisted upon the use of
some language like this so that moth
ing may be left to the interior de.
partment to decideas to what entries
are embraced within the proposed
law"

1t is generally known that Secreta-
1y of the Interior Fisher is opposing
the three.yea homestead bill but de-
spite this opposition it is almost

was unsafe for the passage of trains
at ordinary speed. This derailment
occurred on straight track, while the
train was running about 80 miles an
hour"
The report says that the most dis
quieting and perplexing feature in
the problem of accident prevention
is the large proportion of train acct
dents caused by dereliction of duty
by the employees involved. The COM
mission believes that as a rule there
are no men that have a keener APP
probation of their responsibilities
than railroad trainmen and engine
men," and yet it is pointed out that
63 per cent of the whole number of
accidents Investigated were caused by
mistakes on the part of employees.
There is a disposition in some
quarters continues the report. TO
charge these lamentable errors TO
failure of discipline and to hold en-
ployes wholly responsible for such
failure. This is a superficial view,
which contains no promise of effective
remedy.

PROGRESS BEING MADE IN
PACIFIC EXPOSITION.

Recent news item sent out by the
exposition management from San
Francisco states that the two vouch-
ers for 100000 each rep

ments on account of the Southern Pa
cific company's subscription to the
Panama-Paciic International EXPOSE
ton, and two for $40. 100000 each on
account of the Central Pacific rail-
roads subscription to the Exposition,
making a total of 100000 ere
received by Comptroller Rodney S.
Durkee of the Exposition.
This is one of the largest subserip-
tions received by the Exposition with
in the past month and is evidence of
the interest being taken by corpora
tions and individuals in the 1915
Worlds fair.
The subscription of the Southern
Pacific company of s250,000.00 was
made on June 18th, 1910. This sub
scription vas made conditional upon
the recognition OF San Francisco by
congress, and the amount was diyid-
ed as follows:
Southern Pacific Co, $50, 10000
Central Pacific X. II. 100, 100000
The first installment of 10 per
cent on each subscription vas made
in March, 1911, a short time after
congress recognized this city as the
place for the holding of the EXPOSE
ton to celebrate the completion of
the Panama canal, and the second
payments were made a few months
later.
A few days ago Comptroller Dur
kee, who was formerly an employee
of President Sproule of the Southern
Pacific company, when he was eon-
nected with the American Smelling
and Refining company, directed the
attention of President Sproule and
Auditor A. ID. Mcdonald of the
Southern Pacific company. that there
was a delinquency in the payments.

TREATS
OF ACCIDENTS
COMMERCE COMMISSION FINDS
LACK OF PROBATION AND
POOR EQUIPMENT RESPONSE
BILE FOR RAILWAY DISASTERS

Safety First" is the paramount
rule of train operation suggested by
the interstate commerce commission
in its twenty-sixth annual report sub
mitted at Washington, Monday, to
congress. Discussion of disasters on
American railroads during the last
year constituted an important fea-
ture of the report.
1t is pointed out that many of the
accidents resulting in fatalities might
HAYES been averted by the exercise of
proper p|recaution or the employment
of suitable devices and good equip
ment. Figures given show that the
total of S,215 derailments during the
var included 1877 which were aus
ed by defects of roadway and 3,S47
due to defective equipment. This in
dicates an increase over the previous
year of 652 in the derailments due
to bad roadway and 1923 due to bad
equipment.
The investigation by the commits
sion itself of railroad accidents in
volving loss of life, the report says,
has proceeded far enough to indi-
cate the need of more effective mea-
sures than thus far have been taken
to secure safety of railroad travel"
While the previous suggestions of the
commission as to the adoption by the
railroads of all-steel or all-steel
underframe cars are being add
opted as rapidly Is eondi-
tions will permit" the danger
of defective roadway and the
use of unsound rails still remain
as a matter of which derailments are
likely to occur at any time" Con
corning its Investigations, the COM
mission says:
"Of the 81 derailments inyestigat-
ed, IA we're either directly or indi-
rectly caused by bad track. In 3 of
the IA cases the derailments would
probably have been avoided had ex-
listing speed restrictions been obsery-
ed, but in all the remaining cases the
track conditions were 81 obviously
unsafe that derailments we're likely
to occur even at low speed. In one
serious derailment, an examination of
the track in the vicinity of the acct
dent disclosed 600 rotten ties, within
a distance of 147 rail lengths. I'm
der many of the rails there were as
many as IL bad ties, and under each
of 2 rails there were II ties so badly
decayed and broken as to be totally
unfit for service. In many of these
ties the spikes were so loose that they
were easily removed by hand, the
wood having no longer any holding
power. The track in the vicinity of
this accident was poorly ballasted and

Hay for the Moose.

The other day William Allen
White, head of the Bull Moose party
in Kansas, says the Kansas City
Journal, sent a letter to Fred Ham
mond, of Burlington, saying: 1.-The
Bull Moose needs more hay. Please
raise some money among the brethren
and send it to me-"
Now Hammond happens to be an
ardent stand-patter. So he skirmish-
ed around town and found a Confed-
crate $50 bill. He SEN it to White
with this letter. '"The money inclos-
ed was good enough for the fellows
who were fighting the Republican
party in the SOS as you are doing to-
day. 1t ought to be good enough for
YOU"

ject. In certain states there are
stallion license laws which prevent
defective animals being used for SER
vice. Such a condition is unique in
the light of our famous modern-day
intelligence.
1T is extremely difficult TO secure
the passage of a health law of this
kind. There seems to be an inherent
resentment among our Legislators
against passing any legislation of
this kind which will have as its end
the betterment of the human race.
Why no one knows, only that public
sentiment has not reached this high
point. 1t is possible that a law re-
curing health certificates before
marriage would be difficult of en-
forcement. Undoubtedly many dis
honest physicians for a paltry sum
would issue certificates of health just
the same as now they write prescrp-
lions for liquor in dry territory.
Again, a smaller percent of dishon-
est clergymen and officials who will
perform the ceremony when health
certificates have not been obtained or
with the knowledge of fraudulent
certificates. Nevertheless much good
would be accomplished, as without
doubt the majority of our people are
honest, although at times it would
seem that the V was true.
In the absence of laws the clergy
can do much If they will, of a con-
structiye character along this line.
1t has been reported that one emf
nent Chicago clergyman, the Rev.
Dean Walter T. Sumner, president of
the Chicago vice commission and
member of the board of education of
has stated that hereafter
he will perform no marriage cere-
mony without the contracting parties
present clean bills of health. This
gentleman, who probably knows
more than any other person about the
vice conditions of that great city and
results, comes to this wise de-
eision after careful study. 1t would
be well for others in the ministry to
do like wise and consequently do
their share in the furthering of the
campaign for the betterment of pub
ic health. Some shortsighted clergy
men have objected on the ground
hat it would rob the holy marriage
rite of it's sanctity and divest a sacred
of its beauty and holiness,
To attempt to answer such
arguments would scarcely be worth
while when known facts are at

EASY DIVORCE.

Reno, as the metropolis of the
busy, developing state of Nevada. is
destined commercially to be one of
the important intermountain cities,
but instead of substantial fame It
now receives universal discredit as
the city of easy divorces, says the San
Francisco Call. Farces are written
about Reno and about the trains go
ing there. A comic weekly gave a
prize of $25 for the best name that
could be substituted for Reno's pre-
sent cognomen and awarded the
bounty to the author of THE City
of Otherly Love" The infamy that
was once Chieago's and later Sioux
Falls Is now Reno's.
Earnest, thoughtful citizens of Ne
vada want to purge the state and its
large city of the odium that has come
with the easy divorce" industry.
Certain members of the Legislature
want to change the legal period of
residence in the state from six months
to one year, and there are plenty to
fight them In the session next year.
Merchants who grow prosperous in
the silk stocking trade and hotelmen
who serve dainty dishes for the d.
yorce c~olonists, as well as the army
of easy divorce lawyers, will lobby
in the Legislature to perpetuate the
disgrace of the state.
But the better type of Nevadans
will fight against the perpetuation
of a condition which makes Reno's
name a coars joke throughout the
country, the last opportunity for di-
voree in haste of which the jaded
spouses of the United States may
avail themselves.
