A. C. Gothenquist was a Cut
Bank visitor last week, coming
down from Medicine Hat,
where he is engaged in drilling
for oil on an extensive scale.
He has half interest in twelve
drilling outfits in that section
and has already struck gas in
several wells. He expects to
ship an outfit to Wyoming in
the near future, and one to the
vicinity of Demers, where
the prospects of finding oil look
encouraging.
The recent ruling permitting
filing on additional land by
those who have not taken a
half section is most sweeping
and liberal and many local
people are making additional
filings. 1t has made a neat
little harvest for the real estate

Christ Sewald was in from
the Kelvin section Tuesday and
was highly enthusiastic over
the exceptional crop prospect
out that way. He declared
that he had an eighty acre
wheat field that was more
promising than any seen IN this

emphasized the Importance of
pushing the matter to a con-

Livingstone Almost
A Model Town

Livingston is so much like
Cut Bank in point of location
and opportunities that it's his
tory and development are es-
pecially interesting to us.
A few years ago Livingston
was a slovenly border town,
with no spirit of unity and no
impulse toward civic improve
ment. How Livingston woke
up, realized and appraised her
self, makes an interesting chap
ter, as told by citizens of that
little city, who are proud of her
municipal achievements in the
past few years.
Let it suffice to say that to-
day Livingston is one of the
cleanest, rrettiest and most
spirited cities in all Montana.
Miles of cement walks, streets
with beautiful electric light
poles, metropolitan buildings of
brick and stone and above all
sanitary conditions that are
ideal. The streets are cleaned
and sprinkled several times a
day and all garbage is collected
in cans, placed in the rear of
homes and business places-big
city methods in every detail.
Livingston has little more
than Cut Bank in the way Of
resources. 1t is railway
terminal on the N. P, and it's
: payroll not much larger than
ours. The Yellowstone Park
traffic is probably quite a source
: of revenue during a short period
of the year. In it's immediate
vicinity there isn't enough
: farming land to sustain a snow
bird. The town lays claim to
. the Shields River Valley, more
: than rs miles away. 1t is also
the county seat of Park county.
It is spirit that has pulled
Livingston out of small town
. lethargy and made it a pulsing
little city. 1t has a modern
|. chamber of commerce with an
!. alert secretary. It's hotels, the
!. big beneficiaries of the Park
!. traffice, do not hold back aud
!. "let George do it." The men
!. who are making their money
+ are working as unit to make
]. Livingston still bigger and
!. better. Many sleepy Montana
!. towns still living in the atmos-
! phere of the old cow days could
!. find inspiration in the big &C
! complishments of the Park

C1al CLUB, Oaturday last, VIII

Not with desire for
the public of the details of Il
lowing is taken from Sunday
The directors of the Great
Falls commercial club met for a
noon luncheon at the park hotel
yesterday and gave further
consideration to the question
of such cooperation as might be
extended on the part of local
people to the commissioners OF
Teton county in arranging al
adequate highway to Glacier
national Park. The luncheon
was in part occasioned by the
presence in the city of Dan
Milestone, editor of the Pioneer
Press of Cut Ba n k. Mr..
Milestone, as the guest of the
commercial club, spoke regard
ing the proposed roadways
across the Blackfeet Indian
reservation from the standpoint
of the people of Cut Bank. He
opened his remarks by en-
phasizing the friendly relations
that are existing between this
city and his home town. He
said that the people of Cut Bank
wished to become even better
friends of Great Falls.
While not presuming to speak
at all with authority from the
commissioners of Teton county
Mr., Milestone was still very
firmly of the opinion that they
would not entertain the COM
struction of a road across the
| Biackfeet reservation unless II
be the one by way of Cut
Bank. His view was further
that the proposed north and
south route branching off at OF
near Dupuyer, while it perhaps
was shorter in miles, would moi
be anywhere nearly as SER
viceable to the travelling public
going from park-to-park. He
thought that the average auto
mobile traveller would Very
much perfer to keep in a more
settled country and nearer tt
assistance in case of trouble
The point was also brought ou1
that there was also large
travel going through Teton
) county from points east Of Gu
Bank which would be better
served by the roadway goinl
through that city than by th'
| north and south route branch
ing off at Dupuyer.
Mr.. Milestone was of tn
opinion that it would be goo'
thing to have a conference a
Choteau, attended by repre-
sentatives from the Great Fail
commercial club and perhap
some people from Cnt Banl
and Browning, so that the Who'll
matter might be taken up wit
the commissioners of Teto
: county and so that everybod,
e interested might know wha
they are willing to do in thi
: matter.
II O. S. Warden was calle
upon and outlined a conferenc
that he had recently had wit
some of the people at Brownin
in regard to this road across tn
reservation. He was of tn
opinion that the all i'm
| portant thing was to secure
| good road by wav of som
acceptable and agreed upo
route. His understanding VIZ
that the matter was really
the hands of the commissions
of Teton county, inasmuch
the route would have to

body after the murder and to his best
judgment she had been attacked
G. n. Watson, chemist of the Uni
versity of Kansas, was called to the
stand to testify to evidence taken
from the girls body by DIR. Brownell,
tending to prove she had been raw
ished.
Did Not Subpoena Capper

pills, testified she heard screams in the
vicinity of the murder about the time
the deed was supposed to have been

were heard
The plan to subpoena Governor
Capper in the case and have him pro-
duce the telegram alleged to have

TO RESTRICT war
Peace League Speakers Urge
Necessity of World Tribunal.

retary of War Baker.

Washington, May 27-Secretary of
War Newton D. Baker told the league
to enforce peace in session here that
WIN the war is over, Europe's people
will demand preservation. He says
such wars as the present will no long
er be tolerated. If the United States
refuses to join hands with nations
to preserv peace, he state, it will be
left outside the circles formed by the
nations of the world to preserve peace
H said:
There has come situation in the
world in which, whether we want to
or whether we do not, whether it is
good business or just ordinary ideal
ism, we are obliged to take a plan
etary view of the advent of the human
race
AN intimate and intricate system
of xchange and interchange between
nations is going to rise as the voice
of the people in favor of some such
expression of the popular conscience
of the continent of Europe as is de-
sired by the league for the enforce
ment of peace
z. s. Must Be In.
Now suppose they get up such a
league. Suppose Europe asserts her
self and determines to have that sort
OF regulation of international relations
and we are not in it. What will then
be the relation we bear to the rest of
the world? Their intimacy without
our being in partnership will some day
become confusing to U.S. And if we
now. in the dominant moral position
,, in the world, decline to join hands
with the circle that is quite certainly
destined to be formed by the nations
of the world for the preservation OF
peace. they will form that circle and
we will be on the outside of it,"

They Think He May Throw His
Strength to Root.

Washington, May 27.-Republican
leaders in congress conceded today
Colonel Roosevelt will be able to con-

the Republican national convention, if
he fails to nominate himself.
They declared the former president
could cause the nomination of either
Root, Hughes. Burton, Sherman or
Fairbanks, but were inclined to be-

other. Should Colonel Roosevelt Sc
lect Root, they said, he would have
no difficulty whatever in coming
back himself in 1920.

the convention are hand picked but
that while they will be free to vote
for any man, there was a mental res

The convention will be dominated,
it was declared, by "standpatters.' but

Colonel Roosevelt. There was notice
able today distinct desire on the part
of all factions at the capital TO esti-
mate Colonel Roosevelt at his true
value and not to minimize his strength
with the rank and file of the party.
This consideration for the wishes of
the former president was particularly
noticeable in the camps of the favorite
sons, who have begun to court him in

cast his eyes their way if the nomina-

Wilson today finished the carefully

broad aspects of the International sit

will bear on the war and will lead to
discussion of the fundamentals the
president believes should underlie
world peace.

international police force is looked
upon by the president as a possible
means of minimizing the danger of
war. 1t is understood that tonight he
will carefully set forth his views on
the question.
There were renewed evidences to-
day that the president is deeply in
terested in the continued public dis
cussion of peace although there were
no indications that he was yet ready
