NAME FEDERAL
RESERVE BOARD

President Wilson has sent to
the senate the names of his ap-
pointees for the federal reserve
board and they are as follows:
Charles S. Hamlin of Boston, for
two years; Paul M. Warburg of
New York, four years: Thomas
D. Jones Of Chicago, six years;
W. P. G. Harding of Birming-
ham. Ala, eight years, and A.
c. Miller of San Francisco, ten
years.
The press dispatches state that
the nominations were referred to
the committee on banking and
currency where opposition has
already developed to the con-
firmation of Warburg and Jones.
1t is also stated that inquiry will
be made into the connections of
Harding with the United States
Steel corporation and influential
southern railroads. 1t is charged
that he is president of the largest
bank in the south and at the
headquarters of the Steel corpor-
alton in that section, besides he
is close to the railroads. The
charge is that President Wilson
has surrendered to ''big busi-
ness'' in making the appoint
ments.

IMPORTANT
RAILROAD CASES

The supreme court Of the
United States decided severalim-
portant railroad cases on June
22, among which were the long
and short haul clause of the law
regarding, rates to the inter
mountain country, the California
land grant case, the eastern
states retail lumber dealers suit
and several other important cases
which had been pending for
months.
In the California case the court
did not pass upon the right of
the government to contest the
claim of the railroad and as an
other suit is now pending to re-
gain title to the same land, it
will be pressed to a final deter
mination. The suit was over
petroleum lands valued at over
00,000, 900.
In the intermountain case the
court sustained the law and the
Dixon amendment was declared
in force. This decision will be
of great benefit to the intermoun-
tain section and will affect the
rates in railroad Tariffs. Not
that there will be a further re-
duction, but the present rates
will be allowed to stand. 1t also
opens the way to the recovery
of almost $40, 900, 900 from the
railroads for excess charges after
the old rates were superseded
by the interstate commerce COM
mission ordering a new rate.
This decision upheld the inter-
state commerce commission and
gives to that commission thu:
power to establish rates, which
fact has been strongly opposed
by all the railroads.
In all the cases decided, the
railroads lost out, except pos
sibly in the California case,
which will be decided finally
later.

$500 Per Year

bers Of the insurgent body of
miners who have recently formed
the new union, and while they
attacked no buildings except the
old union hall and were otter no
one except Meyer and the old
officers. much damage to prop
erty resulted and others were
either killed or seriously wounded
in the scrimmage.
Matters quieted down some
what during the night but there
is said to be a suppressed spirit
which is likely to break out again
at any moment.
The muddle is bad for the
miners, bad for the business men
and bad for the city and state.
Heretofore there has never been
any labor troubles in the greatest
center of the world and
no one can tell what the outcome
of this strife will be. The cooler
headed ones have lost their con-
troll and a serious battle may re-
suit at any moment. The whole
state regrets that such scenes are
possible and the strong arm of
the civil and military law should
be used to prevent a repitition Of
the events of the last ten days.

BUTTE MINERS
AT It AGAIN

The opposing forces or rival
miners organizations in Butte
are very near civil war again.
Tuesday night a meeting was to
have been held at the old miners
union hall by the Meyer following
and before the meeting could be
called to order there was a mob
assembled and the sheriff and so
deputies who were in attendance
to keep the peace were drawn in
to fight with the crowd. Many
shots were fired and one man
killed and several wounded.
President Meyer of the Western
Federation of Miners, and Bert
Riley, president of the old Butte
miners union, made hurried
escape, some say from the city
altogether and others to a secret
hiding place in the city.
The deputy sheriffs held the
miners union hall but men
reached tee roofs of adjoining
buildings and poured a hot rifle
and revolver fire into the hall,
and everybody in it were driven
out. With the crowd in possess
sion of the building, a trip was
made to nearby mine and the
engineer compelled to lower the
men to the powder magazine and
after securing a quantity of dy-
Mantle the miners union hall
was dynamited and entirely de-
stroyed. The explosions wrecked
every pane of glass for blocks
around and not a whole window
was to be found in any of the
buildings on the main streets of
Butte. In all, % blasts of dyna-
mite were set off before 1890
Wednesday morning and con-
fusion held supreme sway.
Governor Stewart will prob
ably send the state troops to
Butte and President Wilson will
be asked to furnish government
troops as well.
"Mucky" Mcdonald, the pres
ident of the new union, issued a
printed notice calling upon all the
members of his branch to go
home and in the name of the
new union keep the peace. Press
reports say he did all a man
could do to stay the hands of his
members.

PICNIC DEMONSTRATION Of
IRRIGATION, MONDAY JULY s

There. will be a picnic and irri-
cation demonstration at the ex-
pertinent station southwest of Ro-
nan on Monday, July 6, to which
all farmers are invited. In fact
everybody is welcome and it is
hoped there will be a large at
tendance.
Prof. F. S. Cooley and corps
Of assistants will be there and
the day will be made one of value
to every farmer who will use the
water for irrigation. Mr.. |. D.
O'Donnell of Billings, one of the
national reclamation board and a
man who has had the practical
experience in irrigation, will be
present and give instructions for
the benefit of beginners in the
use of water. He will demon
strate personally and will give our
farmers much beneficial informa-
ton.
There is a science in irrigation
which our farmers should learn,
and this will be the chance for
them to get together and receive
the instruction that others who
have had the actual working ex-
perience can give them.

A minimum wage of 50 per
week to women an girls working
in laundries has been recon-
mended in the state of Washing
ton by conference of employees,
employers, and citizens. This is
under authority of the minimum
wage law of that state and was
unanimously recommended to the
state industrial commission. At
a meeting of the commission last
winter it rejected an $3.50 per
week scale and the result is an
increase of SO cents per week to
the female employees.

would reduce the mileage from
"a to five miles from the starting
point of the proposed road. The
proposed road will enter Moiese
valley on the south side of Crow

be of much benefit to all the peo-
pie of that valley and from Ro-

4.
In a return game at Thompson
Falls last Sunday, between the
Mission Reds and the Thompson

at that.
The Round Butte boys will play
at St. 1gnatius July 4.
The colored minstrel troupe
had no sooner arrived in town
Wednesday than they issued a
challenge for a game. The boys
here expected a good hard game,
but nothing daunted, proceeded
to get busy and collect in enough
players to take them on. About
3 o'clock there were enough pick
ups to start the game and at it
they went. The minstrels in the
opening inning proceeded to land
the first two or three balls down
along side of the fence and it
looked like they were taking
kindly to Phil Hull's delivery,
but after that Phil tightened up
and it was one, two, three, out
with them. Then the locals had
their turn at the bat and the way
they pounded the colored pitcher
was good to see. They made
eight runs and the score stood 8
to 2. There was nothing to it
after that except batting prac-
tice for the boys, with Phil Hull
and Earl Wagner taking turns
pitching shut-out ball. After
nine innings the score stood q
to 4 in favor Of the Roman boys.
Those from town taking part
were T. Wagner, catcher; Gill
bert Burland, shortstop; Ben
Mcleod, third base; Earl Wag-
ner, first base and pitcher; Luke
Bouchard, second base; Victor
Saucer, center field; Eugene Pot
win, left field; Floyd Lionberger,
right field, and Phil Hull, pitcher
and first base. Quite a crowd
collected to witness the game
and they were much amused by
the playing of the minstrels.

EXPEDITE LAND PATENTS
IS THE CRY OF THE WEST

The Helena commercial club is
agitatin the question of more
haste in the issuance of patents
after final proof is made by home
steaders. Through Geo. L. Ram
sey a communication was address,
ed to the Hon. Commissioner of
the General Land Office asking
that final patents be issued more
promptly and the commissioner
replied that it would very badly
disturb the orderly conduct of
this Office and render more diff
cult the work of the accounting
division if the final certificates
with the proof papers) were
forwarded separately by special
letters as suggested by Mr.. Ram
sey."
That was about the only excuse
that was offered in explaining
the delays which occur, except
the commissioner said that only
about Is days would be saved in
time by this arrangement. This
saving of Is days was not impor-
tant enough to the Commissioner
to have any weight, but the
Helena commercial club has
computed the days it would make
in the aggregate of all cases
handled and finds that it amounts
to $3.50 days, Or 2,671
years, there being 800 home
stead proofs approved during the
last 10 months.
To the people here the matter
of time in the issuance of patents
after proof is not of interest to
them, simply for the reason that
patents are not issued to Flat
head irrigated lands at all. That
is what concerns us most. The
homesteaders here would be
tickled to death to know that
they would get a patent in a
year, but the prospects of wait
ing 20 years or more is not
encouraging, and if the reclama-
tion is not hurried up somewhat
it will be so years before a
patent will issue.
The people here, the CONNER
cial club and in fact everybody,
will approve of any measure
which will expedite the handling
of all land cases but at the same
time would like the assistance Of
the Helena club and the Helena
people in remedying some of the
matters which are of most vital
Importance to the people of this
section Of Montana. They have
appealed for help many times in
the past four years and that help
was not forthcoming just as it
should have been.

the fact that our home products
score on the average even better
than the best butter judged in
Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota
during the month of May. This
is easily understood, for no state
from which butter is shipped is
so we'll adapted as Montana to
the production of fine cream.
The abundance of good feed,
cool nights, and pure, cold water
with which our state is blessed
puts US on an equal with Switzer-
land in the production of high
grade dairy products.
The dangers from foreign COM
petition are not great. True it
is, the duty on butter has been
reduced from 6 cents to 2 IL
cents per pound, which will al
low Danish butter to be laid
down in New York for about 80
cents. The New Zealand, Aus
tralian and Argentine butter,
while not as fine nor fresh as the
Danish butter, will cost from 27
to % cents, duty paid. However,
the butter from these countries
south of the equator will not af-
feet US so much at present be-
cause their season Of greatest
output is during our winter
season, when our output is low.
One thing we must expect dur
ing the next few years is a some
what lower price for butter than
has prevailed during the few
years just past.
The only way we can compete
is on a quality basis. 1t is al
ways the lower grades of butter
that suffer the most. The high
est grades of butter have much
less competition; in fact, the de-
mand is never satisfied. If
every one, from the pasture to
the breakfast table, will do his
part toward raising the quality
of Montana butter we will be
able to compete with any country
in the world. This includes the
merchant too, who is largely re-
sponsible for the particular
brand of butter sold. They are
going to have a wonderful in
fluence on the advance of the
dairy industry in our state. The
biggest thing the merchants can
do is to insist upon handling only
Montana made" butter. C. L.

SPECIAL LETTER BY
KENNETH ROMNEY

CSlldlOl W. CI . dliu SOllSo l. Coo"
men Evans and Stout called on
President Wilson on two different
occasions this week at the re-
quest of Governor Stewart to dis
cuss the Butte riots and the gov
ernor's request that federal
troops be held in readiness to be
rushed to Montana. The Mon
tana delegation kept in close
touch with the situation and
numerous kilograms passed back
and forth. Congressman Evans,
speaking of the interview with
the president, expressed conf
dence that the long record of the
Butte miners for peace and order
would be maintained. He said
he felt sure that government
troops would not be needed to
restore order among Workingmen
who have shown on many occa-
sions that they are law abiding
people.
The New York Times has
classified the four ablest men,
bers of the United States senate.
In this small list it puts two re-
publicans and two democrats.
republicans are those that any
we'll informed person would prob
ably have selected-Root of New
Yorkand Lodge of Massachusetts,.
The Times says that Root is not
inferior in ability to Webster,
Clay, Sumner and Blaine, and
that while we now sigh for the
great days of those senators the
time may come when we will
sigh for the great days Of Root.
The democrats which the Times
places in the same class with
Root are John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi and James A.
O'Gorman of New York. Sen
ator Williams is the readiest de-
batter in either house of congress.
His knowledge of history, liter
ature and law, his wit, sarcasm
and flow Of language combine to
make him one of the most bril-
liant of the public men which the
south has produced since the war.
Lodge, like Williams, is ripe
and exact scholar, but only a
mediocre debater, while Root is
conceded to have one of the
greatest legal minds and broadest
outlooks of any man on either
continent. O'Gorman is one Of
the newer senators, but he has
already impressed the country
with his ability and force. 1t is
said that any list of the best
lawyers in the senate would in
clude the name of Walsh of Mon
tana.
Montana has one of the
youngest members of the house
Of representatives. Congressman
Tom Stout was only 35 years old
last month. He was 33 when
elected to congress. He is, how
ever, one of the most active and
popular first-term members of
the house and his ability has
been recognized by the house
leaders. Mr.. Stout has such a
pleasing address and charm of
manner that he has acquired
many friends in the house who
are always glad to aid him in
any legislative matter in which
he is interested. Little special
legislation has been passed by
the present congress, owing to
the presidents insistence on big
measures, but Mr.. Stout has had
much to do with the framing of
the administration conservation
program which is soon to be
passed by the house. The men,
bers of the public lands commit
tee swear by him.
