Montana Fat Stock In Demand.

Billings. Either the mutton and
beef of this section is of such superior
quality to give it strong demand, or
there is shortage in animals suitable
for the market, for there are an I'M
usual number of buyers in the city
from points both east and west, In
Guiding Chicago, the Twin Cities,
Omaha, Portland, Seattle, Tacoma and
Spokane, all in quest of fat sheep and
cattle. There has been comparative
ly heavy movement of marketable
stock, principally sheep, and one day
last week I. D. O'Donnell sent 1000
fat wethers to Spokane. The animals
were fattened in the yards of the Bill
lings Sugar company on ration of
alfalfa, beet pulp and molasses, and
Mr.. O'Donnell says they were about
the finest he has ever marketed.

U. S. TO FIGHT OIL LAND TITLE,
CONTENDS THAY
CLAIMS ARE ILLEGAL.
Suit Involves Millions of Dollars an4
And Many Thousands of
Acres.

Washington, Jan. 18.-A suit which
will test the title of hundreds of thou,
sands of acres of oil lands in the west,
with values running into the millions,
will be filed at. Los Angeles, CAL, by
the federal government within a few
days.
Assistant Attorney General Knae
bel has instructed United States At.
torney Mccormick at Los Angeles to
begin proceedings against all the.
claimants to 100 acres of oil lands in
southern California, said to be worth
$4,000 an acre. Other suits will fol-
low, all of them testing the legality OF
the extensive oil land withdrawal
made by President Taft Sept. ~, 1909
When questions were raised as to
the presidents power to make the
withdrawal, congress gave him speci-
tic authority by the act of June 25,
1910, and President Taft again with.
drew the lands July 2, 1870 Between
the first and second withdrawals, how
ever, many claims were filed for the
lands under the mineral law. The
government holds that the first with
drawal, as we'll as the second, was le-
gal and that the title to these valu-
able tracts is lodged with the United
States.
Not only will the government ask
the court to declare valid it's title to
the land, but it also will seek recov-
cries for all the oil which is said to
have been withdrawn, the exact guam
tity of which must be developed by
the suit.
The proceedings at Los Angeles, it
is understood, will be directed against
all those who have claimed or still
claim title to the land, those who have
purchased it.
The interior department has refused
to grant patents on any of the lands
and there are said to be many conflict
ing claims among the persons who
base their contentious upon placer
mining locations.

Calgary Men Honor Guests.

Great Falls.-More than two hun

quet given in honor of a large party
of Calgary business men who came to
the city on a special train. Plates
sold for SIS apiece. The pleasure Of
the banquet was marred by the fact
that business men of Medicine Hat,
who had been invited and had started
to meet the Calgary special at Leth-
bridge, were caught behind a railroad
wreck that it was impossible to clear
in time for them to make connection.
The speakers included former United
States Senator Paris Gibson and form
Governor Edwin l.. Norris of this
state, and T. F. ulysses and W. D.
Spence of Calgary. The visit of the
Calgary men returns the courtesy paid
that city by local men about three

lished statements of the granting Of
right of way to the power company
by Secretary of the Interior Fisher for
the construction of power transmits
sion lines to electrify $50 miles of
the mountain region of the Milwaukee
road in Montana anu Idaho. Mr.. Ryan
says that power available in the
Rocky and Cascade mountains would
electrify every mile of railroad west
of Miles City and north of Colorado,
and that the step taken by the Mil
waukee system presages the electri-
ication of 10000 miles of railroad the
next few years. The electri6cation
work planned by the Milwaukee will
cost about $7,OO0,O00.

member of the house from Hill coun-
ty, was dismissed from his position Of
permanent caucus secretary OF the
progressives and ]. B. Henley of Mis-
soula was given the position. The &C.
ton was taken because Carnal voted
with the democrats in vain effort on
the part of the progressives to strip
Speaker A. D. Macdonald of the power
of appointing committees. Carnal
brands the action of the progressives
as unfair, and says he merely voted
as he did as a compliment to Speaker
Macdonald, an old-time friend, and
knowing his vote would make no diff.

WASHINGTON Furnishes Prize Summer Fish Story

EISH stories may go and fish stories
L may come, but the piscatorial yarn

Said fish was right in the midst of

while a Washingtonian, J. S. Warm
beth, mounted it.
AS Captain Thompson, in company
with w. /. Brooks and a Norwegian
sailor, were cruising off the coast OF
Miami, Fla, on June 1, 1912, there
hove into sight a huge monster, the
like of which man never before had
laid eyes upon. A mighty struggle
for supremacy ensued and man was
declared the victor.
Five harpoons and ISL bullets were
required to subdue the monster, and 1t
took five days to kill 1t. Before 1t
was under control it smashed boat
into thousands of pieces and knocked
the rudder and propeller off a 31-ton
yacht. The crew was towed around
the ocean for 80 hours by the monster
at speed of about As miles an hour.
When it was finally brought into shore
more than 5000 people were on the
steamship ways at Miami. City Of
