Producers Wage War ON Dairy
Association With View to
Preventing Rise in Price

.Honolulu's recent milk controversy,
which resulted in the Honolulu Dairy
mems Association cutting down the
price of milk from Is to IA cents a
quart to the consumer and arranging
to pay the producer at least 9 cents
a quart, has had practically an exact
parallel in Denver, Colo. .,...H. r
According to the Denver Post, the
producers have begun a fight on the
Denver milk trust by establishing a
central depot and, as the Post head
lines sum it up, have prepared to "cut
out bandit profit of Denver retail
dairymen's association and prevent
price advances" Here is the story
published in the Post: =:

Enlisted men coming from the
state of New York are asked to meet
at the Army and Navy Y. NJ. C. A.
this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock for the
purpose of organizing the New York
State club.
This was the first November date
decided upon at the meeting of the
Woman's War Council at the Y w.
c. A. Friday. when the principal
subject discussed was the entertain
ment and welfare of the United
States enlisted men. Other dates
that will probably be filled with some
kind of specially arranged entertain.
ment for the soldiers are: November
Is, when a social evening will be civ
en- at Central Union church; Novem-
Der II, when the Lanai Players will
give another performance for the sol
diers; November 1924, opening OF
the Army and Navy Y. M. G. A. On
November %, chowder supper will
be given to all enlisted men who are
sons of d. A. r. members. .
Although the distinguished Ohioan
will be absent, the reception planned
by the Buckeye club to be given to
Harding and all Ohio enlist
ed men at the Country club, Novem.
Der 10. will probably be given on the
date set, with the Ohio soldiers
themselves as guests of honor.

Montana Child Wonder.

Dorothy Claire Garvin, a little 10
year old Butte girl who was visiting
with her mother and sister in NJ lis
soula, took notion that she want
ed to play on the beautiful green
lawn that covers the university camp
US, and as result she is hailed as a
child prodigy.
One of the students in the psychol-
ogy class saw the youngster and as
an experiment applied to her the
Stanford revision of the Binet test
for intelligence and found that she
was as bright as any girl 13 years
old could be expected to be.
The test was again applied to her
by DR.. Sylvester, the instructor, and
she scored 1915 in the 10 year,
seven month test, leading by good
margin some 80 Missoula children,
who were entered. This stamps her
as marvel of intelligence.

1t requires 1000 degrees fahrenheit
to make iron red hot.
Hughes discussed his ideas with
many electrical engineers, and he
was told by the greatest in the coun-
try that his plan was not feasible.
But his experimentation finally led
to the discovery Of a heat unit which
appeared to possess the required
qualities, and in 1910 at st. Louis
he exhibited at an electrical expo
sition the first electric cooking
range which would actually cook. 1t
was expensive to operate and not pre-
possessing in appearance, having
been constructed from an ordinary

His First Factory.
Returning to Chicago, Hughes Sc
cured sufficient capital to open a
small factory, and he began to turn
out ranges Of somewhat crude con-
type heating units, with glowing
coils, which has since proved wholly
successful and has been initiated by
every manufacturer of electric heat
ing equipment
Soon, through the discovery Of an
American engineer who was seeking
for suitable metallic composition
for automobile bearings, a combina-
ton of nickel and chromium was
evolved which possesses wonderful
electrical properties and withstands
very high temperatures. This COM

stock to the miners who made big
strikes in the gold camps of the ter
ritory. The three incorporators were
Kiskadden, Lewis and William
Chumasero, the latter we'll known
pioneer who lived afterward at Hell
ena.
Father of Maud Adams.
Kiskadden was close friend Of
Captain Slade. The latter, while new
er guilty of robbery or any other
crime of that nature, was bad man
After he came to Montana
from Colorado, where he had been il
the employ of the Overland Stage
company as agent at various points,
he made many friends and many enc
mics. When sober he was man OF
attractive and magnetic personality,
but when under the influence of IL
quor he was reckless demon. His
conduct in terrorizing Virginia City
finally made it necessary for the min
ers to hang him.
Kiskadden was with Slade great
deal during the last day of the lat
ter's life. X. Beidler relates that
the day before Slade was hung, Beid-
Ter and Kiskadden walked into the
Washington billiard hall, where
drinks were served at SO cents each,
and found Slade there very drunk
and abusive. Beidler and Slade be-
came embroiled in a quarrel and Kis-
kadden acted as peacemaker. The
next day Slade was on a rampage all
day and Kiskadden, realizing that the
patience of the Virginia City people
had been taxed to the limit, tried his
best to persuade Slade to go home,
but in vain. In the afternoon when
Slade had been made prisoner, and
later while he stood on box under
the scaffold which had been erected,
Kiskakdden was bystander, and he
wept when Slade swung into eternity.
A few minutes after SHADES eXecu
ton, When Mrs. Slade made her dra-
matte appearance on horseback to
make a belated effort to save her
husband. it was Kiskadden who COM
forted her.
Mrs. SHADES Thrilling Ride.
Mrs. SHADES ride for the life of her
husband was one of the most thrill
ing incidents in that dramatic period
of the history of Montana. The horse
she rode was the celebrated "Billy
Bay" long the pride of the Blackfeet
Indians. A band of that tribe had
captured the animal, which was a
Kentucky thoroughbred, on raid
in the vicinity of the Great Salt Lake.
Large sums of money, pelts and 9TH
err valuables were staked on Billy
Bay in the inter-tribal races. Slade
purchased the animal from Malcolm
Clarke, the noted Indian trader, who
was afterward killed by the Blackfeet
in 1869 in the Prickly Pear canyon,
20 miles from Helena.
Mrs. Slade went to Salt Lake City,
where her husbands body was finally
taken for burial, but she returned to
Virginia City, and in March, 1865, she
was married to kiskadden. Shortly
afterward they returned to Salt Lake.
The general belief is that she after
ward separated from Kiskaddten ana
the latter was later married to the
actress, Annie Adams, who was the
leading woman of stock company
playing there. Maud Adams was born
at Salt Lake, November IL, 1872,
and made her first appearance on the
stage there at the age of nine months.

MONTANA MAN WHO REv@lW T0MzED COOKING THE WORLD OVER
WAS AIT FEW YEARS AGO BY SCIENTISTS AS

bination, called pure nickel-chrom-
lum, is composed Of 80 per cent nick
Ell and 20 per cent chromium, and
Hughes adopted it for use in MAX
Ing his electric ranges.
1t is an interesting fact that when
the European war started in 1914
there were only three tons of this
metal in the United States, the only
source of supply then being Ger
many. Hughes purchased by wire
every pound of the composition in
the country, the supply being suffi-
cient with his output at that time
to last several months. Now he uses
10 tons year, and the price has
trebled since the war broke out. The
quotation today is approximately SIS
per pound.
Billings Bought First Ranges.
The first carload of Hughes ranges
sold were ordered by j. f. Roche,
who was then manager of the Mon
tana Power Company at Billings,
and who is now manager of the COM
mercial department of the same COM
pany at Butte. Thus it may be said
that Billings was the first city in the
world to use electric cooking ranges.
Hughes states that the Montana
Power Company was the first to
recognize the electric range as COM
mercial possibility, and the first con-
Germ in the United States to make a
special rate for it's use in the home.
Today 80 per cent of the central heat
ing stations in the United States are
making active campaigns to increase
the use of electric cooking ranges
and other household devices operated
by electricity.
Last year new factory was built
by the Hughes Electric Heating
Company in Chicago covering three
acres of ground, and an option has
been secured on eight acres of adj
joining land on which to expand still
further The Hughes company is
turning out 20 different models of
cooking ranges at prices ranging
from $50 to $3.50, besides big bake
ovens, dryers for automobile manu-
facturers, hotel grills, broilers and
warming closets for kitchens and
other large electrically heated equip
ment.

at the naval training station is an
other that turns out 5000 cakes and
5000 pies per day Bake ovens that
have capacity of from 80 to 700
loaves at baking are made.
In seven years. Hughes has not
only brought an undeveloped idea to
fuefillment, but has revolutionized
cooking in hundreds of thousands of
homes the world over Before he
developed his cooking range he pre-
dicted that electricity would supplant
every other form of heat and power
for household uses, and through the
invention of electric vacuum clean
ers, electric washing machines,
coasters and other devices, his pro-
phecy has been fulfilled in large
degree. Today he believes that
eventually houses will all be heated
by electricity.
Montana has a greater attraction
for Hughes than as a friend for bust
ness, for Great Falls is the home of
his daughter and two grandchildren.
His daughter is the wife of Grant
Call, of the Goodridge-Call Lumber
Company, a well known young Mon
tana business man.
