JUDGE McHATT0N
QUITS PRACTICE
CHIEF COUNSEL FOR r. AUGUS-
TUS HEINZE In FAMOUS
LITIGATION.
First District Judge in Silver Bow
County on Admission of Montana
to Territory; Participated in Po-
litical controversy Over Voting of
N. p. Construction Grew.

Judge John j. Mediation. one OF
the best known attorneys of Butte
during the last quarter of century,
whose legal career has been indenti-
| fled with much of the sensational
mining legislation that has had
made Butte famous during the past
quarter of a century, has retired from
the practice of law and has left Butte
for California with Mrs. Mediation to
be near their son, a graduate of Yale,
now in the artillery department of
the army.
Judge Mediation was chief counsel
for f. Augustus Heinze during the
latters long and bitter legal battle
with the Amalgamated Copper COM
pany.
Judge Mediation was born at
Mount Sterling, ILL.,, in 1860. He re-
ceived his education in the public
schools and the Iowa state university
at Iowa City, where he gradual
ed from the law school in 1888. I'M
mediately following his graduation
he went to Saltwater, Mimi, where
he began the practice of his profess
sion. In the spring of 1885 Judge Nc
Hatton removed to Butte. At once he
became active in the law and his abil-
ity and resourcefulness were given
immediate recognition. A few months
following his arrival in Butte he was
appointed to fill a vacancy in the Of
flee of city attorney. He served as
police magistrate in 1886 and 1887.
In an interesting way Judge Nc
Hatton became a prominent figure IN
the political excitement that was In
cident, in 1889, to the beginning OF
Montana's career in statehood. In
order to get the administrative ma
chinery in motion, at the time when
the proposed constitution was sub
mitted to the people, state and coun-
ty, officers were chosen at an elec-
ton in October. The democrats NOM
mated Mediation for district judge.
One result of the election was the
famous controversy over the returns
prom precinct "a at Homestake Hill,
where work on the construction of
the Northern Pacific Butte-Logan
branch was progressing.
The Silver Bow canvassing board
threw out that precinct vote, with the
result that Mediation had an appar-
ent minority For several days the
situation in Butte was tense, but on
the appointed day, under rather dra-
matte circumstances. Mediation took
his seat as district judge. The con-
troversy over precinct "a was long
sustained 1t involved the member
ship of the legislature as we'll as the
federal senatorships. During it's pro-
gress Judge Hatton was appointed
district judge by Governor Toole.
Later on he was elected for a partial
term and still later he was elected
without opposition to a full term. He
served on the district court bench
seven years and three months.
When Judge McHatton retired
from the bench he again entered upon
the practice of law, and was promin-
ent in many of the important mining
actions of the period. For four years,
from 1896, he served as national
democratic committeeman for Mon
tana. Judge Mediation is a large real
estate holder and his properties in

Why We Are at War.

Some people think this world is
big enough to hold anything. Ii
is not. Any number of things
could be mentioned which it has
not room for. Certainly it is not
big enough to hold the nation the
United States of America aspires
to be and the nation the German
empire aspires to be.
This nation is, as Lincoln sail.
republic dedicated to the propo-
sition that all men are free and
equal. Despite all its failures and
shortcomings it aspires to develop
along these lines-to become a
more democratic nation as it be-
comes a greater nation to lead
other nations. by the force of its
example, to become free and strong
and self sustaining. With all its
records of wars and con fiicts, its
ideal is peace. The one thing it
values more than peace is justice.
rhe German Empire is the last
great stronghold of the doctrine of
divine rights" of the belief that
some men are appointed by God
to rule over the rest of mankind.
1t aspires, even as Caesar and
Genghis Kahn and Napoleon as
pired. to world domination. 1t is
based on a belief in force. For
two generations it has subordina
ted everything to military efficien
cy. The right of the German
Empire to dictate to other nations
is an accepted part of its creed.
The use of any measure of force
or brutality that will enable it to
do so Is openly proclaimed as a
pational policy.
Il Two such nations could not con-
tnue to exist and to grow in a
world no larger than ours. A
clash was inevitable. The world
cannot remain half democratic and
half autocratic.
This, in few words, is why we
are at war Southern Agricul-

Very little news to report fro m
this part of the county at present.
Health perhaps was never bet
ter throughout this section. Crops
are far short of previous estitnas
tions. The corn crop has been
cut short about one-third by the
dry wealth er. that has prevailed
during the past five weeks. The
hay crop no doubt will be short
on account of no rain. We hear
of considerable complaint about
the shortage of the sorghum crop.
So If we get an average crop of
food stuff we will do pretty we'll.

Secretary Baker Takes Out Ini- tial Number-DraWing Con- tinues All Day Friday and
 Throughout Night.
Long List of Numbers Given in Order as Drawn, From Which Those Who Will Be Called to Serve in First Army Will Be
 Selected.

Washington, July 21.-The drawing for the big United States army was not completed until early Saturday morning. The drawing began at 9 :45 Friday morning, and continued throughout the day and night. Alto gether 10,500 numbers were drawn from the big fish bowl. It was officially stated that the first 1000 numbers drawn represented more than 1,000,- 900 men, and it Is not considered probable that men representing any number drawn after the first 2,000 will be called before any exemption board for the first army The first eight numbers were drawn respective ly by Secretary of War Baker, Senator Chamberlain of the senate military committee. Congressman Dent of the house military committee, Senator Warren and Representative Kahn, ranking minority members of the sem ate and house military committees; Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, acting chief of staff of the army: Maj Gen. Enoeh Crowder, provost marshal of the army and Major General Mccain, adJutant general of the army. After the first eight numbers had been drawn the regular tellers took hold, and worked through until the long task was completed.
 In only small number of the Iarg- est districts will the numbers above. few thousand affect registrants. Of the 4,557 registration districts throughout the country the largest has something over 10,200 numbers, while the smallest has only about 1855, and the average is about 5000. As the drawing proceeded, 157 numbers were withdrawn before one low enough to affect the smallest district came out. It was 126, placing 4,55T men number ed I26 on their local lists as 157th in order of liability
 The following list shows the num- bers in the order In which they were drawn. The first number in each case represents the order in which the sec ond, or red-ink registry. number was taken from the bowl. Four numbers are given In each line.

France Is Arranging for Supplies

ties--Need $4,000, 600 Bushels
I Of Wheat.

Paris.--The purchase abroad and
transportation Of about $4,000, 900
bushels Of wheat and other cereals is
one Of the problems Of France for the
campaign Of 1918. Four hundred thou
sand tons Of shipping month will be
required for the importation of sup
plies the country must get on the out
side.
The realization Of this problem viii
be partly accomplished through the
unified allies purchasing board, elimi-
mating more and more private trade
with the country; the development Of
o ministerial department Of supply will
eliminate commissary department buy
ers, while increasing stringent meas
nres regarding shipping will increase
the tonnage available for this object.
Successive decrees now have COM
PEELED every shipowner to obtain a
navigation license prescribing the par
ticular route for each vessel and the
categories. of merchandise destined for
the government that 1t would be re-
Quired to take on board on each voy-
age, and also giving the secretary Of
state for merchant marine powers to
limit transportation charges on prod
ucts essential to the life Of the coun-
try.
Henceforth all tonnage under the
French flag will be systematically d.
vided between the different categories
Of Indispensable products, In order to
assure the utmost regularity Of supply.
Certain voyages which were Of no
great utility to France have been stop
ped, and the transportation Of coffee
and other products of secondary util-
ity to a nation at war have been sus-
pended. Orders have been given that
cotton and tobacco must be bought
from the nearest market.
Navigation between France and the
colony Of Madagascar will be greatly
reduced, and the French lines to Cuba,
Argentina, Brazil and New Orleans will
be reduced as regards the number Of
ships or sailings suspended alto
gether.
As a result of these measures 10000
tons of additional shipping have been
placed at the disposition Of the pro-
visioning department, and the tendency
Is more and more toward the intense
compression of the navigation service
SO as to make every ton of burden
count for the utmost.
