Attention to eastern Montana as a
stock raising mecca is called again
by the sale on the South Omaha
market a few days ago of purely
range steers from this section at
prices which set new records.
High Prices for Beef.
One steer weighing 1860 pounds
brought $12 per hundred, or a total
price for the animal of $187.2O,
the highest price ever obtained for
any purely range steer on any market
in the United States, while a batch of
21 steers averaging 1,400 pounds
brought $1,000 per hundred, or an
average price of $148.4O per head,
the figure being 60 cents per 100,
higher than was ever before obtained
for purely range steers in that mar
ket.
The cattle, which were sold
through the Mutual Livestock Com
mission company of South Omaha,
were shipped by F. M. Heinrich OF
st. Xavier and were from his famous
herd of white face Herefords. They
were raised and run on his Rotten
Grass Creek ranch in the Big Horn
valley.

gerous to stop with the bishop; as we
were passing ourselves off as Nor

through an examination, and we
would be shown to be imposters and
like as not we would be killed, as the
Mormons were anything but friendly
to the Gentiles. But Jim said, That's
all right, we can stand an examina-
tion; and then the bishops live better
than anyone else.' Finally we found
the bishops house, halloaed, and the
bishop himself came out. The first
question he asked, was, Were we
members of the church?' and of
course we told him we were. We
went into the house. The family had
just finished eating their supper.
There were four women in there, his
four wives, I suppose, and about a
half-dozen children. Now, the Nor
mons at every meal ask blessing and
they have stereotyped formula they
use at all times, AID generally wind
up with, God bless the presidency of
the church, even Brother Brigham.
Amen!' The bishop told the women
to give us something to eat, and they
put on the table some potatoes and a
lot of meat, the first we had seen for
a long time. Jim, drawing down his

typed Mormon blessing, to which we
both said Amen and then fell to.
After we had eaten, the old bishop
opened the racket. Jim passed mus

Wilson Note Asking Belligerents
to Tell What They Are Fighting
for, Brightens Peace Prospects

President Wilson's note to the
belligerent powers urging dis
cusion of peace terms or at least
revelation of what they are
fighting for has made Washing
ton the center of the worlds di-
plOmacy.
Although Secretary Lansing
later disOvOwed a statement in
which he said that the sending of
the note twill indicate the pos
sibility of our being forced into
the war;" it became evident that
the administration fears the in
creasing bitterness of the war
and the retaliatOry measures
adopted by the belligerents at
sea will make it impossible to
remain long alOof. 1t is believed
in many quarters that the presi-
dents move has considerably
improved the prospects of an
early peace. OfficialdOm in the
entente countries was admittedly
taken by surprise.
The Glasgow courier., 1916-12-29

Entente diplomats at Wash.
ingtOn, at first at an utter loss
how to handle the unexpected
situation, became convinced that
a clearer understanding of the
necessities and purposes of the
United States proved that their
fear of move favorable to Ger
many was not well founded and
that this country would not try
to force peace on Europe. 1t is
indicated that they will advise
their governments to view the
note in friendly spirit, and go
as far as possible toward meet
ing the wishes of the United
States.
Secretary Lansing is under-
stood to have made it clear to
the entente diplomats individual
ly that the United States expects
the replies of their governments
to be absolutely frank in all de-
tails.

War and Peace Make
a Striking Difference
Here and in Alberto

The difference between peace
and war is strikingly illustrated
in events that are about to occur
in Montana, and in Alberta, the
Canadian province which neigh
bOrs Montana on the north.
Word has gone forth that
Great Britain needs railroad
steel, which cannot be had as
quickly from the manufacturers
as the urgent need demands.
These rails are wanted for rail-
way construction on emergency
lines to be built back of the em-
battled front in France. So 10y
al Alberta is going to tear up
1000 miles of railroad track,
much of it from the lines that
run west of Edmonton to the
coast, and ship the rails to the
mother country. The 1000
miles of railroad which is to be
sacrificed for this purpose will
fill 80 ships, and a great country
in western Alberta will be left
without railroad transportation.
On the other hand, Montana,
at peace, is preparing to COM
struct, through the various rail-
roads operating in the state, over
1000 miles of new railroad
branch lines, feeders for the
transcOntinentals, with probably
as much more mileage in pros.
pect.
The rapid development of the
state has made the construction
of these new lines and branches
imperative.

Twenty-Five years ago a young

possessed of a sheepskin and SIS in
cash. The west was wilder, more
spacious in those times. The days
slipped by and the youths small store
of money dwindled. Home ties pulled
at his heart strings. The hearthstone
on the green banks of the Wabash
appealed to him. He decided that life
away from kith and friends was not
worth while. He wanted to go back.
But he did not have the money.
Perforce, he had to remain in the
west. Now he is at the head of one
of the great banking houses of Mon

pie live there in happiness and pros
perity. And what is true of Sheri
dan county is true Of every county of
the prairie country which stretches
east across far reaches to the Dako-
ia line. Everywhere there is growth
and development. It takes money to
finance the development of new
country; and lots of it. And there is
parent. The bank of which he is the
head is closely affiliated with the Da-
ly banks of Butte and Anaconda.
Strongly interested in 1t are such men
and concerns as John D. Ryan, the
Daily estate, the Morony and Hill es-
tates, all interests that represent
many millions of dollars. These CO.
lossal fortunes were made in part
through the development of Montana
resources, and when the head of this
bank needs money for the develop
ment and expansion of Montana it is
reasonable to assume that it will not
be hard to find.
Money for Development.
In all this development and expan-
sion, which will 60 forward with add

few years a tremendous amount Of
money, in the aggregate, will have to
be advanced. The smaller banker in
the country town can take care of
only fraction of the loans that will
be necessary to speed up this de-
sirable movement. He will have to
seek outside help, and men situated
as Sam Stephenson is, in touch with
Montana-made millions, will be in a
position to come t. the relief of the
smaller banker. and help to finance a
hundred communities, if necessary.
For this reason he will loom large in
this scheme of expansion, the start of
which has only just been made. And
because of loans made at the right
time and infant industries financed
when money is most needed, it is
probable that many will have occa-
sion to feel glad that the youth of a
quarter of a century ago did not have
the money with which to pay his fare
back to the Wabash on that distant
day when homesickness overcame
him.

PAID $4,000 FOR
BARREL WHISKEY
OLD TIMERS RECALL STORY
INVOLVING WILLIAM REA
AND ANDREW j. DAVIS
Rea Bought Whiskey From Davis,
Paying Him With Note Secured by
Gallatin County Warrants of
$4,000 Face Value; Davis Finally
Collected Warrants.

William Rea of Billings spent some
time in Helena last week, and told of
his purchase of barrel of whiskey
by his father, William Rea, Sr.. from
Judge A. J. Davis of Helena, in the
early days for $4,000, the record
price for whiskey in this state.
When William Rea kept the only
stopping lace, or wayside hotel, in
the vicinity of Gallatin City in 1866,
he deemed it necessary to keep a lit
tie liquid refreshment on hand for
his numerous travelling guests.
Old Time Interest.
He accordingly purchased barrel
of whiskey, containing 49 gallons, at
$3.50 per gallon, from Judge A. j.
Davis, paying therefor with note
bearing interest at per cent per
month, interest to be compounded
at the end of each and every month.
The note was secured by Mr.. Rea
with $3,00O-face value-of Gallatin
county warrants. The note was al
lowed to run some three years when
Mr.. Rea, ascertaining that the war
rants had not been paid off and that
there was no immediate prospect that
they would be, and fin Ling that the
note was fast absorbing them, con-
cluded to accept the inevitable, then
and there.
He accordingly went to Judge Da-
Wis and said: "Give me my note, take
the warrants and 60 to thunder" ("
(Revised Edition.) This proposition
Judge Davis readily accepted, surren-
dering the note and taking the $4,000
worth of county warrants for the bar
rel of whiskey.
Davis Gets Busy.
No one at all acquainted with A. ].
Davis will suppose for a minute that
he wore out those valuable evidences
of Indebtedness in his pantaloons poe
ket, or that he allowed the treasurer
of Gallatin county to recline on
"flowery beds of ease" while the said
warrants RENAME unpaid. He 81
quietly looked up the law, then over
hauled the treasurer's accounts and
transactions, then he deliberately
stirred up little hornets nest about
the ears of the official. He took the
matter into the district court and
there demonstrated that the county
treasurer had not only beer
paying warrants bearing date an(
register subsequent to those held b,
Davis, but had also, contrary to law
issued and paid balance certificates
and that he was apparently short il
his accounts to the extent of severa
thousand dollars.
More Complications.
| Be that as it may, Davis secured
judgment against the county treas, r
er, and compelled payment of tn,
warrants within year from the time
he commenced action. This turn O
the wheel rendered it necessary fo
the treasurer to raise money to . a,
the warrants and the costs of tn,
suit. This he did by borrowing thu
needed amount from l.. M. Black
the repayment of which he secured
by mortgaging the Northern Pacifi
hotel. Judge Davis thereby realized
SO, 800 for his barrel of whiskey, an,
in short time l.. M. Black owne,
the hotel, which had -lso been alb
sorbed by the single barrel of liquor
originally purchased by Mr.. Rea fo
$465.5O, but which eventually cos
him $4,000.

is the formation of local company
for the manufacture of brick and tile.
During the present year, the men
back of the proposition have sent
samples of various clays found in
the vicinity of Baker, to eastern
manufactures to be made up into fin
ished products, and these are now be-
ing displayed at their office. The
company will start the erection of a
large plant as soon as spring opens
up, and, of course, will use natural
gas for heat and power.

Gently in the we'll that is being drilled
in the Crazy Woman's pocket coun-
try. near Lavina, and gas has been
encountered in numerous drillings
south of Billings.
Worlds Greatest Gas Field.
Seventy miles south of Billings
but on the Wyoming side, is probably
one of the greatest deposits of natur-
al gas in the world. Eight wells
have been drilled that produce ap-
proximately 25O,OOO,O0O cubic feet of
gas every "a hours. The giant we'll
of the group will produce in excess
of 100, 100000 cubic feet per day.
The pressure of the gas of this well
was so great that it blew the der
rick to pieces, blew two ordinary steeA
gate valves off the casing at the
wells mouth, and it was necessary
to have an especially heavy gate
valve manufactured. and anchor the
the top of the casing with about Is
tons of cement before the flow could
be checked and finally stopped. The
roar of the escaping gas could be
heard for 20 miles, and it is estim-
ated that 1,00O,OOO,O0O cubic feet of
gas blew off every ten days for three
months before the we'll could be fin
ally carped.
Billings Will Have Gas.
It is entirely feasible and practical
to pipe this gas into Billings, the
largest center near it. Engineers
have passed upon the undertaking
favorably, but it is thought that with
the large amount of drilling for oil
between Billings and this field, ma
tural gas will be discovered closer to
the Yellowstone metropolis, but one
of the certainties of the future is
that Billings will one day be heated
with natural gas in great volume.
Hon. Thos. Arthur of Billings, and
Lieutenant Governor Mcdowell of
Butte, were prominent in this en-
deavor. They brought three New
York engineers who were natural gas
specialists, and their report on the
Byron gas fields, as this deposit is
called, was very favorable. Probably
$5,000,O00 is being expended in oil
prospecting between the gas fields
and Billings, however, and it was
thought best to await the outcome of
this drilling.
Gas Possibilities.
Running across Montana, striking
northwest and southeast, is a great
system of anticlines, the same that
passes through Wyoming, and in
which much oil and gas has been
found. In these anticlines are locat-
ed the Byron gas deposits of North
ern Wyoming, just across the Mon
tana boundary on the south, while
at Bow Island. in Alberta, just across
the Montana boundary to the north,
is another great gas field. which
heats and lights the city Of Calgary,
and l 5 other towns and cities along
the line of the trunk mains. This
would indicate some gas possibilities
in Montana, and has been demon
strated at Baker, Havre and Glen
dive.

NOT \ TRIVIAL MATTER.

In last evenings Nugget, the edi- tor of that paper has the following upon the New York strike, wherein he reveals his complete unfamiliar ity with the situation as regards the traction workers:
 ''The recent sympathetic industri~ al strike in New York is suggestive of an occasionnal case in court where the penalty inflicted is dis proportionate to the offense com mitted. The attempt to tie up all the industries of a great city failed. Had it succeeded it would have been almost a calamity, the depressing in fuence of which would have effect ed the whole country. And this monstrous evil was seriously and understandingly planned by some of the union leaders because of a con- paratively insignificant difficulty be- tween the traction company and d few of it's employees. The members of the unions were at first led away by sympathy for their fellow, but on second thought reconsidered and wisely resumed their occucpations. When united labor has genuine grievance all workers concerned know it and they are justified ill seeking redress. In such case pub i., too"
 In quite number of peoples mind, any attempt to upset the nor nal industrial condition by radical action is not only regarded with dis pleasure but seriously condemned. That is due either to the fact that the person so condemning has either the point of view Of an employer, or being an employee loves to adopt the masters point of view as his own. And he enjoys the felicity of a masters smile when he severely reprobates the activities which have for the object the overcoming and redress of a nevil can in no other way be overcome or redressed.
 The tractionist troubles in New York are of such nature as to in- yolve the well-being of the entire working class in that city, because beginning with the Peterborough Company an attempt was made to compel the workers to sign away all their individual rights and to be- come in effect the contracted slaves of the employers without any means whatsovere of redress being avail able to them.
 They are in effect asked to sign an agreement which had among it's clauses one which individually reads as follows:
 ''The undersigned agrees to work for the company in such position as may be assigned to me from time to time, for such wages and hours and for such period and periods as may be offered"
