STILL AFTER MONEY TO
COMPLETE PABLO LATERAL

Senator Myers did not give up
the fight when his bill appropri-
ating half a million for the Flat
head irrigation project was de-
feated in the lower house of con-
gress. And he has not given up
yet. He is still in Washington
trying to dig enough money out
of the treasury to complete what
is known as Pablo Lateral A,
which will provide water for the
Round Butte country. The Pio-
neer is glad to be able to an
nounce that he is meeting with
some encouragement. In con-
nection with Mr.. Davis, chief of
the reclamation service, plan
has been formulated which, if
successful, will result in $102,-
900 out of the $187, 900 lost to the
project being utilized at once,
which with the $2OO,0OO made
available after July 1st, will 60
a long way toward completing
the works in the country west
of Roman.
Prior to July l., 1914, the rec
lamation service had incurred
obligations for materials and
other things in connection with
the Flathead project to the
amount Of 100000. Senator
ator Myers and Chief Davis have
succeeded in getting the Indian
bureau to agree to approve and
audit these expenditures as hav-
ing been made and payable out

FARMER GIVEN DAMAGES
IN THE DISTRICT COURT

A case that is of much interest
to the farmers and stockmen of
the Mission valley was settled in
in the district court in Missoula
last Saturday, after hard
fought trial lasting two days.
Last fall, cattle belonging to
Dan Mahoney and others broke
into the field of Fred New
gard and destroyed more or less
grain. According to the evidence
they were driven out, but re-
turned, this procedure being re-
peated. At last Newgard took
the cattle up and notified the
owners to come and pay the
the damages and take the cattle.
Instead of this, Mahoney and the
others interested started repli-
vim suit in the justice court at
St. Ignatius. When the case
came to trial the justice found
Newgard entitled to damages in
the amount of $3.50 per head,
with an equal distribution of the
costs assessed to all parties con-
cerned. From this decision New
gard appealed to the district
court, where jury awarded him
damages to the amount tn $20.33
per head and costs of suit. The
Pioneer is informed that three of
the interested parties have signi-
fled their intention of settling on
this basis, but that Mr.. Mahoney
has given notice asking for a
trial, and also announced his
intention of carrying the case to
the supreme court if necessary.
The decision rendered Satur-
day would seem to establish a
precedent, it's effect being that
owners of stock running on the
range will be held responsible
for any damage they may do by
breaking into properly fenced
farms. Mulroney & Mulroney,
of Missoula, represented Ma
honey ct al, while Mr.. New
CARDS interests wese cared for
by Attorneys Mason of Roman
and Besancon of Missoula.

of the fund authorized prior to
July l, 1914, and will join in
drawing on the treasury there
for to reimburse the Indian fund.
If the comptroller of the treas
ury honors this demand, the sum
of $102,000 can be obtained i'm
mediately and the most of it can
be used for the prosecution Of
work this spring.
Senator Myers has hopes that
he will succeed, and if he does,
Mr.. Davis offers the assurance
that work on the Pablo canal
and laterals will be rushed to
completion, probably in time for
this seasons irrigation. In any
event it will be ready for the late
summer and for the beginning
Of another season.
One thing is certain, Senator
Myers has not laid down, but is
doing everything within his
power to get justice for the Flat
head.

Crime Decreases

Since so drug users have been
sent from Butte to the state asy-
lum for the insane, the number
of petty larceny cases reported
to the police and sheriff's office
has dropped Is per cent. The
number of rooms prowled has
also decreased and the begging
on the streets has been reduced.
Sheriff Henderson says that
within a years time the amount
of property saved to residents
because of the commitment of
drug users will total many times
the expenditure being made by
the state to care for or cure the
drug users. There are few con-
frmed drug users left in the
city, as about 45 we'll known
drug fiends left the city when
they learned that all dope
heads" were to be taken to the
asylum. These men are being
arrested as they return.
The practice of the drug fiends
was to enter lodging house and,
if caught in a room, to plead that
he was there to beg for food or
money to buy food. Their in
genuity in entering rooms and

A Future Rockefeller

A little boy entered the farm
er's truck patch and said, touch
ing a handsome cucumber on a
vine:
How much for this?"
"Ten CENTS" the farmer re-
piled.
Il don't want to pay more than
2 cents,' said the boy.
'Well, here's one for that
price, said the farmer, and he
lifted a very small cucumber that
grew beside the big one.
"All right. I'll take her. But
don't cut her off now. I'll call
for her again in two weeks. -

100000 A DAY
FOR REUR0PEAN WAR

War debts of the powers actu-
ally engaged in fighting now
total $10,560, 100000. The an
nual revenues Of those countries
(including their colonies and
possessions) are less than &c.,
600, 100000. After less than
eight months of war, the debts
aggregate 20 per cent more than
the revenues for a year. The
revenues of the whole world are
less than $4,000, 100000, says
the Wall Street Journal.
No one can estimate the ulti-
mate cost of the war. But it is
known what it is costing now.
Some authorities in London say
it is costing all the powers to-
gether a total of $50, 100000 a
day, 1t is expected that with
the opening of spring, military
operations will be on a larger
scale. So must the cost be also.
But even the present estimate
passes human comprehension,
for it is at the rate of SIS, ,00O,-
000,00 a year, should the war
last that long.
We look upon the Panama
canal as a mighty work for the
worlds commerce. Yet at pres
ent rate of expenditure, the god
of war could duplicate that work
in eight days. His maintenance
for three weeks is more than is
spent in a year of education in
this land Of free schools. A year
and a half of such war would pay
for all our live stock, the pro-
ducts of the farms, the output of
the mines, and still leave enough
to take up the capitalized valu-
alton of the railroads.
There is considerable conflict
in statistics of the wealth of
those nations now at war. But
a fair approximation makes their
total wealth 1855, 900, 900, 00c.
Before the war began they were
all in debt. The total amount
now is climbing up to $50, ,0O0,-
100000. What will it be when
the war ends? Should the war
be a long one, what Atlas will
carry the world on his shoulders?

Effects of Grass on Trees

This subject was brought into
prominence a few years ago by
the researches of S. u. Picker
ing, of the Woburn Experiment
tai Fruit Farm, in England. We
have previously noted in these
columns his observations con-
cerning the very injurious in
huence of grass on orchard trees,
apparently due to some toxic SUBJ
stance produced by the former.
The question has now been taken
up at another English research
institutions; viz, the Long Ash
ton station of the University of
Bristol. Mr.. Barker also finds
that grass seriously impairs tree
growth, but the effect is less

BETTER TIMES AHEAD
FOR MONTANA PEOPLE

With the advent of spring
there is every promise of better
times throughout Montana. In
dustries that have been closed
for several months, Or which
have been operating with re-
duced forces, are resuming oper-
ations or putting on more men.
In Great Falls, the Butte &
Montana Smelter, which has not
turned wheel since last Au-
gust, has announced immediate
resumption and will employ 1000
men. Work on the old refinery
and on the two million dollar
new one, has already been
started.
The coal mines at Sand Coulee
and the limestone quarries at
Albright, subsidiaries of the Bos-
ton & Butte, are opening, giving
employment to a large number
of men. In all, the opening of
Great Falls smelter is expected
to provide employment for over
1000 men.
Beginning last Tuesday morn
ing, two of the largest mines of
the Anaconda Copper Mining
company in the Butte district re-
sumed work with a full force,
1900 men being put to work.
Beginning a month ago, the min
ing companies around Butte have
gradually been employing larger
bodies of men, but the number
put to work this week is the
largest single draft made in
many months.
The Milwaukee railway an
nounces that it intends to begin
active work ballasting it's line
along the Missoula division from
Deer Lodge to Alberton and from
St. Regis as far as Haugan, and
that about 800 men will be en-
ployed. About 600 of these will
be distributed between Alberton
and Deer Lodge and 200 between
St. Regis and Haugan.
With work of this kind being
done, the demand for labor in
other branches will be increased
correspondingly and it indicates
that better times and greater
prosperity is sure to come to
come to Montana.

BOGUS HERO IS TAKEN
Man Admits He Found Bomb of
Own Placing to Get Reward.

Reading, Pa, July 19.-Harry F.
Westbrook, who last week went to a
Pennsylvania tower near Altoona, Pa,
with piece of pipe containing twenty
sticks of dynamite and said he had
found the explosive on the tracks was
arrested here last night, and today,
according to the police, he confessed
he had invented the scheme in the
hope of getting reward.
Westbrook, in his confession accord
ing to the police, said he had con-
ceived the idea after reading of the
exploits of Frank Holt. He made the
bomb, the police said, placed it on the
track, later removed it and told the
officials of the railroad he had found
it. The railroad officials did not be-
lieve his story from the start. West
brook further said, the police declare,
that he had got up the scheme to be-
come hero and to improve his po-
sition in life for the sake of his wife
and babies.

LETTER FROM DR.. GUILD
Former Topekan Writes of Expert
enccs Since Leaving City.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
to come out west again to have good
vacation. Since leaving Topeka l
have been kept busy in New York ar
ranging for a conference at Atlantic
City. We brought together over one
hundred religious leaders of the coun-
try who spent two days outlining
program for a commission on feder-
alive movements
This commission is a federation in
itself of such organizat ions as the
international committee of the Y. NJ.
c. A, the national board of the Y
w c. A, the layman's missionary
movement, the United Society of
Christian Endeavor, the Epworth
league and the b. Y p. u, the in
ternational Sunday School association
and other such organizations which
are interdenominational in their work
The conference proved to be of a
very definite forward step in Chris
tan unity. This commission is to
make a thorough study of inter
church work throughout the United
States and to assist in the forming
those already existing. AS executive
secretary of this commission you can
realize that my work will be most in
teresting.
Having completed the work of this
conference, we left New York for our
vacation With Mrs. Guild and the
three boys 1 made a part of the trip
tn Duluth by automobile. We ran
