sus and Adana, in the same district of Chilicia, and Marsovan. In all of these towns the population is largely Chris tian, partly MosleIn, with enough arm ed Kurds to terrify. Over the from tier, within Russia Armenia lie FriVan and Etchmiadzin, and Tiflis, which is largely Armenian.
 The Armenian grievances are stated by Miss Jenkins as follows: They may be divided into two class es: those which arise from the delib- crate policy of the government. and those which arise from the weakness and ineffciency of the government. To the former class belong the massacres,. the impoverishment of the peasantry by taxation, and the immunity granted to the crime of Kurds against Chris tians, together with the diSarming of the latter and the supplying of rifles to the former. To the second class belong disorders, utter failure of jus tice, wretched and unsafe transporta- tion and brigandage.
 Tn the courts of justice the word of an Armenian will not be taken, and the Armenian peasant or trader has to pursue his calling knowing that he cannot travel freely, recognizing that he will be so heavily taxed that he can scarcely make a living, and then when the struggles of the year are nearly
 over, perhaps the Kurds sweep down from the mountains and seize his home for their winter shelter. take his crops, and even carry off his daugh- ters. No Armenian's life. his property
 nor the honor of his women has been safe in Turkey for a century,
 Despite these grievances, however, Miss Jenkins tells that the Armenians were wild with enthusiasm and a touching faith that they were about to be given a fatherland by being allowed to take part in the upbuilding ! of Young Turkey. But" the writer i concludes, they were destined to i sharp disappointment; and now, in- ] fnitely saddened they reluctantly l have abandoned their hope of free ] dom through the Turk, large numbers of them following their disappoint- ment emigrated to Russia and to
 America"

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET INCREASINGLY ACTIVE. Favorable Railway Earnings Contrib.
 uted Toward the Improvement.

New York, Nov 26.-Speculative sentiment appeared to undergo g change for the better over the holiday and a moderate increase of activity resulted in the forenoon, with higher prices for many issues. Further fa- vorable railway earnings contributed meaSurably toward this improvement even though that particular class oi securities was relatively backward an6 heavy in the days operations.
 Gains in some of the high priced specialties were sensationally large General Motors advancing 23 to 449, a new maximum. Other stocks that broke all previous high records were Cuban American Sugar on it's rise of 3-4 to 156 3-4, and American Can preferred, which rose 1 to 112. South Porto Rico Sugar rose g to IA, Continental Can 5 to 94 1-2, and Sears Roebuck 10 1-2 to 172. Many of these advances were largely cancelled in the general reces- sions of the final hour.
 American Can common was the most active stock of the session, gaining 3 at GA 5-8. Among the war issues and other stocks coming more or less di- rectly within that designation ad- vances of 1 to 3 points were registered Metal stocks were in demand at higher prices, led by American Smelting which more than recovered it's quar- terly dividend on it's rise of to 101 3-8. SmeIting's strength bore some relation to the steady advance in the price of silver metal and other Gug- genheim stocks made further response to the approaching changes among these properties.
 United States Steel rose a point to SS 1-8, within a fraction of it's it's best of recent years, but fell back in com mon with the balance of the list later. There were again no transactions in Bethlehem Steel, which has been in complete obscurity thus far this week. New Haven's increased weakness-the stock fell 2 3-8 to 73 3-4-was a Re- straining influence on other rails, some scored only nominal gains. Total sales
 Among the October railroad reports was that of Union Pacific, disclosing a net gain of s836,000, while Atchison in creased only S136,000. Purchase of $60,000,000 Baltimore and Ohio refund ing bonds and the tentative sale of 100, 900 shares of Atchison preferred to banking syndicates were announced.
 Sterling exchange relaxed a tri1e, but greater strength was evinced in rates in Scandinavian centers. Local institutions are expected to show a cash loss in tomorrow's bank state- ment.
 Bonds were firm on moderate deal ings, with a substantial advance in Missouri, Kansas and Texas refunding fours. Total sales of bonds, par value, aggregated $4,443,000.

From the returns of the Prairie
County election held Tuesday ii
seems that the division question
carried by about 9S per cent.
Terry was chosen the county
seat. w. S. Haley, senator and
F. G. Buckley, representative.
Other officers elected are as
follows:
Sheriff, w. A. Johnson.
District Clerk, G.. r. Marks.
County Clerk: A. E. Williams.
Assessor, Robert Martin.
Treasurer, S. A. Souther.
County Superintendent, Miss

Two years, II. J. Kramer.
Four years, Lon Fluss.
The Helena independent in
speaking about the election Of
W. S. Haley as senator says
"The vote is to be canvassod
by the board of commissioners of
Dawson county, who have been
given jurisdiction, and upon their
findings certificates of election
will be issued to Mr.. Haley and
Mr.. Buckley, who will then be
eligible to take office immediate-
ly in the legislature.
Thc peculiar feature which
the creation of the new county
has is the effect it will have uD-
on the upper house of the legis-
lature. At present it is consti-
tuted Of ~ republicans, Is demo-
Gratis and A progressives. This
makes 20 a majority. For q num-
ber of days the senate did not
organize, the republicans failing
to acquire the necessary vote re-
quired until Senator Oliver Of
Fallon county threw his voice
over to the standpatters. The
Fallon vote was the deciding onc.
with the accession Of the pre-
sumablc Senator Haley. the re-
publicans will have 20 members
on their side of the senate.
Should Senator Oliver become uh-
sessed with any quaIms of con-
science. and decide to vote with
the democrats, he will be in a
position to tie up the senate once
more, leaving: the decisive vote
with the lieutenant governor.

lished at Wibaux, participated in
the compromise and both express
sed their approval of the agree
ment.
Senator Kinney stated yester-
day that there never had been
any intention on the part of WI
baux county to keep the three
townships. At first. however. he
desird to retain the one township
in which Commissioner Oliver liv-
ed, but agreed to the compromise,
when it was found that the home
Of that officer would be included
within the twelve townships.
Senator Meadors Of Richland
county, who today will introduce
a bill in the senate defining the
boundary lines between the two
counties, stated last night that
he had received letters from citi-
zens in Savage and Sydney, stat
ING that the compromise which
has been agreed to, would be
satisfactory to them.
1t is understood that the coun-
ty commissioners in honoring the
petitions for the creation of the
two counties in question, which
were presented about the same
time, took the view that, since
neither comfy had yet been Gre
ated. it was justifiable to include
the three townships in both coun-
ties. They believed that Rich
land might not be created at all.
in which event. Wibaux would
have the right to include the ter
ritory, now referred to as no
mans land,' within it's bound
aries ..
The election at which Richlapd
was created was held first, anG
the three townships appeared
upon the map of that county. wi
bauX, knowing this fact, appar-
entity, went ahead and held thier
election, and the three townships
were also voted into that commu-
nifty, which gave rise to the belief,
according to Senator Kinney that
they were needed to make up the
required assessed valuation Of
So, 600, 600.
This, however. is denied by
Senator Kinney. He declares
that the county assessors books
will show that Wibaux county
has an assessed valuation of over
S., zoo, 600, including the three
townships in question:. The as,
SCISSORS S report shows that mo
man S land' had a valuation of
something under 500, 600, which
deducted from the. total would
still leave Wibaux in the clear SO
far as valuation is concerned.
Both Senators Kinney and
Meadors declare that there is alb
soluteIy no ground for the asser-
ton that Wibaux county was H.
legal created, as was claimed by
certain people in Richland coun-
ty before the facts with reference
to the petitions became known.

Prohibition Bill
Passes Senate

Helena, Jan. 27. The senate
committee on town and counties
this morning brought in a report
on prohibition, recommending
that the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Amin, progressive, of Still
water county, be passed, The
report Of the committee was un-
aninous.
The report was adopted in the
senate without any opposition.
1t is believed the senate's action
was based on political motives.
as the republicans and democrats
did not propose to allow the pro-
grcsslves to make political capi-
tai out of the turning down of
the proposal TO submit prohibi-
ton to the voters of the state.
Some amendments making the
Amin bill more drastic and
sweeping in character were made
in the committee. No win es
Tor sacriticial purposes would be
allowed in the state under the
terms of the bill, and alcohol is
also barred for all scientific pur-
poses. Denaturcd alcohol is not
included, however.
Notwithstanding t h G state-
wide demand that the state tax
levy be reduced to two and one
nall mills this year, the senate
leaders said today that a state
tax levy amendment making the
levy four mills will soon be intro
duced. They claim that the in
crease in the levy is necessary
because much Of the revenue re-
quired to run the state govern
ment, will be cut off if the voters
decide to adopt the constitutions
