REMOVED GARBAGE

Commissioner Arlie Barber managed
to get rid of the garbage. Owing to the
heavy rains in July the garbage moved
slowly at first and many persons not
understanding the real situation filed
complaints. However, most of the gar
bage was moved on time and the entire
commission backed Mr.. Barber in his
conduct of the situation. Garbage re-
moval, despite an inadequate number of
employees, is now about normal, and
complaints are said by Commissioner
Barber to be at a minimum.
Commissioner James Weatherly took
care of his de~artment of public utili"
ties during the recent crises and CO.
operated with his colleagues wherever
he could.
And now while the city is still fnan-
cially embarrassed the Ave commissions
ers are keeping it going somehow or
other-and smoothly. On Wednesday
afternoon a committee of citizens APP
pealed to the commission to accept the
recommendations of DR.. Carroll Fox,
the federal expert, which meant an adj
dition of $4,000 to the annual budget,
and the commission promptly went on
record that If it could raise the money
it would do so.
II guess with little skimping," said
President Ward. 1--WE will manage to ac-
cept DIR. Foxs recommendations"
And these are the men that are now
appealing to the general public of Bir-
mingham to visit the city hall and get
vaccinated before they close the free
bureau.
This bureau has cost the city lot
of money in the past six weeks said
Commissioner Hornady, land we do not
regret one cent of it, and neither should
the public, as it Is their money and 1t
was spent for their benefit. However
there are thousands of people who have
not been vaccinated and to these the
commission appeals at the present time,
Come and be vaccinated today. Do not
wait any longer"

COMPETITIVE BASIS
FOR FREIGHT RATES
New Schedule for AutOmO-
biles and Accessories
Helps Birmingham

Beginning on the 18th day of August.
Birmingham will be put on a competitive
asis with Atlanta in the matter Of
freight rates on automo oiles and access
sories. 1t has been rumored in BirninS-
ham for the past few days that the
Ford Motor company, in Investigating
Birmingham as a probable poin. TO build
an assembling plant, found that the
freight rates between Birmingham and
Detroit were SO much higher than the
rates from Detroit to Atlanta. that it
would not pay them to establish d plant
here.
]. t. Slater, manager of the freight
bureau of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association, stated yesterday that
it was a fact that at the present time
Atlanta had a much better rate OH auto
mobiles and accessories than Birmingham
and that the saving in freight rates on
account of the differences would amount
TIC a great deal in the course of a year,
but that beginning on the 18th of this
month Birmingham would be aole to offer
as low rate as Atlanta.
The present rates on automobiles from
Detroit to Atlanta. Birmingham and
Montgomery are as follows:
Less
From Detroit to- Carloads. Carloads:
Atlanta .................. Sl444 S1Vio
Birmingham ........... 1905 1000
Montgomery l4l4 1lz.o
THE rates named above are the pres
ent rates on automobiles as described,
said Mr.. Slater. "They were formerly
lower to Atlanta than they are now. In
Eugene Morris freight tariff No. l2S-F,
ICC-445, effective January 2, 1914, the rate
to Atlanta from Detroit was $4,000. They
have since been advanced by supplement ats
to this tariff. to the figures shown above.
However. a new tariff has been issued
advancing Atlanta's rate to $146.3 pc 100
pounds, and this goes into effect August
49, This will put Birmingham on rate
parity with Atlanta The advance of At
lanta's rate was not voluntary actlon
of the carriers, but was made in compii-
ance with an order of the interstate COM
merce commission in a complaint OF the
Atlanta freight bureau, which sought 10
have the same rates esta blished TO AT
lanta from Cincinnati, were in effect
to Birmingham Our rates at the time
being on first class, &c per 100 pounds
lower than Atlanta's rates. The order re-
CURED the carriers 60 make the rates
equal, and Atlanta naturally thought her
rates would be reduced to the level OF
Birmingham's rates. But the carriers had
no such idea. They very promptly ra1sed
both rates to a common level or ~ "el
100 pounds; advancing Atlanta &c and
Birmingham 1Sc per 100 pounds The new
tariff, which goes into effect August 70,
cancels Atlantas rates. which were made
on Virginia Cities combination ard es-
tablishes new rates which are ~ ne
made on Ohio river combination The
effect of this will be to put us on rate
level with Atlanta whereas the former
method of constructing the rate gave At
lanta practically lie per 100 hounds adj
vantage over Birmingham"

GEORGIANS APPEALED
TO FOR MORE FUNDS
ASKED TO RAISE $4,000 OF $780,
900 DEFICIT IN NATIONAL
CAMPAIGN FUND.

Democrats who have not already
contributed to the expense of the
campaign in which President Wilson
was reelected have an opportunity to
do so now. The following telegram
to The News from W. W. Marsh,
treasurer of the democratic national
finance committee, explains the stu
alton:
New York, Nov. lathe
Dawson News, Dawson, Ca
Democratic national committee
will deem it extraordinary favor
if you will start at once vigorous
campaign for funds to help wipe
out deficit of over 100000. We
must not allow our glorious vic
tory to be clouded by failure to
pay legitimate bills promptly.
Quick action necessary. W. w.
Marsh, Treasurer"
There are a good many democrats
who did not give before the election
who will be glad to give now, and
these especially are requested to send
in their contributions at once to help
pay the deficit of 100000.
Georgia democrats have done well
in contributing funds to aid in the
hard-fought campaign through which
we have passed, having broken all
records in the amount of financial aid
given by Georgia to the national COM
mittee, and we are entitled to rejoice
over the splendid victory which has
been won for the cause of democracy.
However, every democrat must real
ize that this debt was unavoidable
because of the close contest in many
states, and it should not be permitted
to hang over and embarrass the ma
tional campaign committee. Every
democrat is appealed to and urged to
respond at once.

and so degrees below zero discouraged
the partners in their repeated efforts
to haul loads up the steep pass.
Among the other experiences OF
Barrett in the pioneer days was the
to be taken for rebel,
or at least a rebel sympathizer.
"We had a red and white flag"
said the ranchman as quoted IN
Stones "Following Old Trails"
(Which we used as signal to call the
men from the fields for dinner. In
1864 party of patriotic emigrants
saw this flag flying and at once held
an indignation meeting over the
'secesh' flag-though I had no idea
what they were fussing about. The
emigrants reported the matter to
Governor Edgerton in Bannack and
he sent us word that we had better
take down the old signal flag. l dld
this very willingly, as I had not had
q thought Of any offense to anybody's
feelings. I was yet Canadian and
had no part in the local conflict"

beat the stage people, who, after buy
ing hay from Barrett, retailed it at Is
cents pound-the equivalent Of $500
a ton.
In partnership with Joe Shineber-
ger, Martin Barrett, who had emf
grated in his childhood from Ireland
to Ontario, located ranch eleven
miles south of Bannack, July II, 1863,
Barrett gave his whole attention to
ranching from the start, while for
the first few seasons his partner
mined in the summer at Alder gulch.
Lived 48 Years on Ranch.
Barrett lived on his ranch for 4S
years, or until 1911. He built a two
story brick house, which was the fin
est of it's day in Beaverhead county.
Barrett and his wife for several years
past have been residents Of Dillon.
And the mention of Mrs. Barrett re-
calls a romance of those pioneer days.
In the spring of '67 Barrett re-
turned from a visit to his mother
back in Canada. In Barrett's own
words: "When we got to our ranch
on the trail, I found my partner sit
ting in the doorway Of the cabin,
mendinp his clothes. He hadn't heard
from me since I left the fall before
and he had concluded that was dead.
When I spoke to him as I came up,
he jumped and lost his needle-the
only one he had. He asked me if
had brought back wife. I told him
that I had not, but that I knew a
mighty fine girl. go and get her,
he said, 'as I have lost my needle.
All right replied, and I went and
got her."
Only Woman in Party.
This girl, Alice E. Cook, the only
woman among the emigrants, and
her brother at Fort Kearney had
joined the wagon train with which
Barrett was travelling back to Mon
tana. At Denver her uncle tried to
lure her away from the caravan by
proffering her position at seven dol
lars a week-big wages in those days
for girl-but she refused the offer
while announcing that she intended to
teach school in Montana. Miss Cook s
father, in the meantime, was also on
his way to Montana, voyaging up the
Missouri on a steamboat. The son
and the daughter were to meet him at
Benton or Helena, but for some rea-
son never explicitly explained, Miss
Cook halted her journey to make her
home for a brief period with friends
at Red Rock, not far from Barrett s
ranch on Horse Prairie. Barrett and
Miss Cook were marrier at Red Rock
on the sixth Of August of that year.
Ranched Freight Cattle.

USE OF TRACTOR
IS INCREASING
OUTPUT FOR THIS YEAR is ES.
TINfATED AT FROM 10000
TO 100000.
Sell All the Way From $4,000 down
to $3.50; Plow Deeper Than Horse
Hauled Plows and Bring Into Bear
ing Richer Soils; About the Ford
Tractor.

Output of tractors for farm work
this year is variously estimated at
10000 to 100000. There are now
about IS companies producing trac-
tors for farm work, and many are
doubling last seasons output. Prac-
teal adaptation of oil or gasolene
motive power to farm work is of COM
paratively recent origin and the farm
tractor industry may be said to be
in it's experimental stages. Tractors
now being manufactured range from
the small garden tractor, which sells
at about $3.50, to larger machines
used for drawing ten plows at a
time, selling as high as $4,000 to
$4,000. Machines for general farm
use cost $500 to $1,000 each.
Will Not Replace Horse.
The tractor will probably never
replace the horse on the farm, and
it's function is only to do Improbable
labor of the horse on profitable ba-
sis. Estimates as to cost of horse
labor versus power labor on the farm
are misleading because horses are in
dispensable to the farm, and the only
basis for comparison, therefore
should be between cost Of operating
a farm with horses alone and cost Of
operating with tractor and re-
duced number of horses.
Saves Farmers Money.
Number of horses tractor will
displace varies according to condi-
tions of farming, products raised,
etc and no accurate cOmDarisOn can
be made except under identical con-
ditions. A canvass by department of
agriculture showed that in the corn
belt on 90 farms where 1,104 horses
had been kept, 1853 were displaced by
tractors. These figures would indi-
cate that work of one out Of four
