SENATOR T. j. WALSH,

The formal election of Hon. T. J..
Walsh 81 United States senator from
Montana, was by far the most inter-
esting and important incident In legis-
lative proceedings of the pact week.
The action taken by both houses of
the assembly was q ratification of the
verdict of Montana voters at the last
general election-this procedure being
necessary to conform with constitu.
tional requirements now in effect.
The unanimity with which Montana
lawmakers of all political parties
obeyed the popular msndat I deserves
commend alton. Mr.. Walsh received
the vote of every member of the assem-.
bly-democrats, republican,, progress.
sives and the socialist member en-.
dorsing him al the preferential choice
of Montana voters for senatorial
honors. The proceedings formed q
remarkable and welcome contr ast to

Billings Sugar Mill Closed.

BILLINGS, Jan. 2O.-The sugar maxi
ing campaign of the mill located here
was brought to q close last evening
and during the next few monthe about
100 men will be engaged in assembling
and Gle aning the machinery and get.
ting things IN readiness for the next
annual run.
During the last fifteen weeks it is
estimated that a total of about 200, 900
tons OF beets were converted into
sugar and ii 81, 215. 900 was paid to
the growers, 1t will be seen that the
average price vas q little more than
$6 per ton.
1t is never possible to get definite
figures from the sugar company "a to
the amount of sugar manufactured,
but it is reliably estimated that the
total was at least 30, COO tons. This ia
now stacked 10 the warehouse at the
factory, and at current prices it is
estimated that the total gross amount
which will be received for it will be ap.
proximately between So. 800, 900 and
81, 00O, 900.
In addition to manufacturing the
sugar an immense quantity of pulp
and molasses resulted as a by-product
and was disposed to s.ockmen who
fattened 5000 cattle and 5000 sheep
in the yards near the factory.

teresting discussion regarding the

lation OF each place as reported in the
last federal census provided q per

The Helena newspapers presented
their claim in Q statement which de-
clared that the total deposits in the
FIVE Helena danks showed 40 average
of over $500 for each person living in
Helena, ard that the combined re.
sources of these institutions were

Following this announcement came

Sem tor Dixon on March 4, Is splen-
didlv equipped for the high Office to
which he has been elected by his fellow
citizens. A man Of keen intellect, an
orator of great ability, . citizen Of
Montana who Is familiar with the re-
sources of this commonwealth aud the
legislative action necessary for their
most beneficial development, Mr..
Walsh, it is believed, will represent
bis constituency in q most creditab BILE
manner. Dismissing all partisan
prejudice it may be eaid that the new
SEN tor, measured by . standard Of
personal merit and his business and
public record, is worthy of the honor
bestowed by the people of Montana.
1t is expected that, as q member Of
the democratic party. Senator Walsh
will cooperate with his democratic
senatorial associates in matters OF
general policy; but in the event that
their program at any time conflicts
with his own best judgment 81 to what
action should be taken, Mi. Walsh
will not hesitate to oppose such legis-
lation.
The determination OF Montana's
new sen ator to be guided In such mat
tiers by his own convictions was No.
nounced In Q public speech of accept.
ance, Ia which he made these signi6-
cant remarks:
my political sfili ations have al.
ways been with the democratic party
because, in my judgment, the basic
principles it PROCESSES most surely
lead to nstional greatness and most
certainly tend to justice to all men.
But l Am not blind to the fact that
party action is not infreQuently the
very sntithesis OF party principle, and
that legislation which comes through
the fiery furnac Of fierce opposition is
rarely defensible when tried by any
fixed principle. l shall
have no h~esitsncy in supporting meas.
ures that meet my appreciation or ION.
demning those against which my judg.
ment or conscience rebels, without re-
gard to the source from which they
originate"
With this declaration a. q guide
and mentor during HE senatorial
term, Mr.. Walsh will justify the pub
lie confidence in his patriotism and
good judgment that was expressed by
the popular vote and its ratification

of the jury.
II may have violated some of the
laws: of the state of Indiana, but I have
not violated the law Of love- she said.
Attorneys for Fisher said they had

attorneys say nothing definite has been

one of her velvet slippers. She told
the jury that she helped Fisher with
many ideas to attain his position as
head Of lighting device company.

many letters which she said were sent
her by Fisher. One Of them, written
in Europe. ended:

press close to my breast. !"
Another letter which came from
France read:
Dutch, am tired OF this trip. tired
of this country. / have had enough
tour to last me 10 years. miss your
arms and your kisses"
Miss Hassler produced evidence to
