PREFERS PENlTENTIARY
TO THE MlSS0ULA JAIL

P.J. Kelly is in the state peni-
tertiary in Deer Lodge today
because he would rather be there
than in the county Jail at Mis-
soula.
"Judge," he said to Judge
Duncan in Missoula, after having
pleaded guilty to carrying con-
cealed weapons, brass knuckles,
in his case. 81 don't want to go
to Jail here. Send me to Deer
Lodge, please"
Judge Duncan expostnlated:
"Why, it's much more of a dis
grace to go to states prison than
to the Jail. You'd better take
the Jail sentence"
"No, judge" argued Kelly, II
want to go to the 'pen,' 1 can
keep clean there and L can't in
the Jail here.'
Kelly was given his wish, six
months of it.

MONTANA FISH WILL
AID IN FOOD SAVING

State Game Warden DeHart has
pointed out that fish is a good SUBJ
stitute for meat and that it may be
obtained very easily by seining,
which under the fish and game act,
passed at the last session of the leg
islature, may be done in the Yellow
stone below Billings, in the Missoury
below Three Forks, in the Clarks
Fork tributary o. the Columbia, and
in Lake Bowdoin in Phillips county
and a lake in Teton county.

Ordinary Nuxated Iron Will Make Deli
cate, Nervous, Rundown People 100
Per Cent. Stronger in Two Weeks
Time in Many Cases.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Most people fool
ishly seem to think they are going to get
renewed health and strength from some
stimulating medicine, secret nostrum or
narcotic drug, said DR.. Il. Sauer, Boston
Physician who has studied widely both in
this country and in Great European Medi-
cal Institutions when, as matter of fact
real and true strength can only come from
the food you eat. But people often fail to
get the strength out of their food because
they haven't enough iron in their blood to
enable it to change food into living mat
ter. From their weakened, nervous condi-
tion they know something is wrong but
they can't tell what, so they, generally
commence doctoring for stomach, liver, or
kidney trouble or symptoms of some other
ailment caused by lack of iron in the blood.
This thing may go on for years. while the
patient suffers untold agony II you are
not strong or well, you owe it to yourself
to make the following test: See how long
you can work or how far you can walk
without becoming tired Next take two
five grain tablets Of ordinary nuxated iron
three times per day after meals for two
weeks. Then test your strength again and
see for yourself how much you have gained
I have seen dozens of nervous. run down
people who were ailing all the while, double
their strength and endurance and entirely
get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver

STEAMER CAME TO
THE GREAT FALLS
CAPTAIN BURKE DROVE HIS
BOAT FARTHEREST UP
MISSOURI.
Moored His Boat at the Old Portage
Within Sound of Great Cataract.
1. G. Baker, Merchant Prince of
Fifty Years Ago, Was One Who
Made the Trip.

How far has any river boat been
navigated on the head waters of the
Missouri river? The late 1. G. Baker
is authority for the statement that a
steamboat has been propelled to a
point a few miles below the city of
Great Falls, and stopped only then
because it was within hearing of the
great cataract of the Missouri, where
the unleashed waters have put up a
perpetual barrier against further up
river travel.
According to the Baker narrative,
as recorded by Lieutenant Bradley in
his journal, the navigator who ac-
complished this feat was Captain
At dinner party given in Fort Ben
ton in July, 1868, Captain Burke
made the statement that he wanted
to be the navigator who would take
his boat farther up the river than
any one else. He invited all those
present to accompany him and it was
decided to make the trip the next
day.
Within Sound of the Falls.
All Benton was out to wish the
venturesome captain bon voyage.
The steamer made it's way slowly,
and it was not until 1 o'clock on the
following morning that the old port
age, a point about six miles below
the main cataract and about SO miles
from Fort Benton was reached.
Those on board the Tom Stevens
could distinctively | ear the roar of
the great water fall, which has since
been harnessed and is providing cleo
tricity for half the towns and cities
in the state.
The steamer was moored at the
portage, and Captain Burke and his
friends disembarked and walked to
the great falls, where they lunched.
They passed that night on board the
steamer, and dropped down the river
the next morning to Fort Benton.
Among the passengers was I. G.
Baker, then the merchant prince of
northern Montana and southern AL
berta.
This incident occ rred nearly 20
years before James ]. Hill, empire
builder, and Former Senator Paris
Gibson, stood on the hills forth of
what is now Great Falls, and viewing
the virgin site, resolved to build a
city.

FACES AN ANTIDRUG CHARGE
Shamrock Woman To Dc Arraigned
Before u. S. Commissioner wilkins

Wearing an air of refinement and
culture seldom seen in criminal
courts, Mrs. Miles Foreman, a strik-
ing, handsome-looking young woman
of about 80, of Shamrock. is being
held here by deputy United States
marshals for arraignment before u.
| S. Commissioner j. III. Wilkins, on
September 13, TO answer a charge of
violating the Harrison anti-drug act.
Mrs. Foreman is said to be highly
connected at Shamrock and is q men,
ber Of one Of the first families of that
place. She Is OF pronounced bru-
nette type. with coal black hair and
black eyes. pearly white .teeth, fash
ionably dressed, and Is evidently a
woman of considerable refinement.
Altho she has not been arraigned.
1t Ia understood her plea will be not
guilty. Friends OF the woman claim
the evidence against her is flimsy and
undcpendable, but George Phillips. OF
Oklahoma City, government enforce
ment officer In charge OF the en-
forcement OF the Harrison act in this
state, who was here yesterday, said
the evidence is stronger than had been
stated.
Shamrock is a mining town about
six miles from Drumright, in Creek

BUSINESS MEMS SERVICES
TO BE ENLISTED BY Y. M.
Association Needs Help To Fill Places
and Assist In Care OF
Soldiers

A September campaign to enlist the
interest OF business men in the Y. M.
C. A. and to have them take out
memberships to help fill the ranks OF
the boys who have gone into khaki
during thealast two months Is being
put on by the membership committee
OF the association.
One hundred memberships were
cancelled last montN--soldier boys all.
ono hundred will be cancelled this
month and probably as many more
next. This sad. yet glorious depletion,
must be filled, both for the good of
the home base and the good OF the
boys who are gone TO carry the colors.
Since every American soldier IL held
q member OF the Y. M. c. A. without
financial backing, It Is easy to be
seen that some one must keep the
hearth fires burning and send on
cheer to the ones at the front.
The committee composed of c. r.
Gilmore, j. Allen Yeager l.. w. Rook,
Ray Fellows. Max Madansky and w.
G. Elliot met yesterday at lunch In
the Y. NJ c. A. cafeteria and decided
to lay an active campaign to effect
this purpose.
Speakers will go before the Rotary.
City, Country. LIONS and Advertising
clubs and set forth the advantages
OF belonging to the Y. NJ. G. A. aside
from the good which will be done
his soul when he helps his fellows.

WHY BABY FAILED TO
APPEAR IN THE PLAY
State Authorities Would Not
Permit Use of Infant in
"Heir to Hoorah."

One member of the cast OF THE
Heir to the Hoorah," which has it's
final performance by the Grand the
ater stock company tonight, has never
put in her appearance.
The missing actor is Baby Reynolds,
whose father Is "a local bank teller and
whose mother Is one of the most
prominent young club women OF the
city.
II you are one of the thousands who
have seen this great play by Paul
Armstrong, you have wondered per-
haps why, in the last act, they never
brought in the baby and placed her in
the massive cradle, carved from a
giant redwood tree by friends of Joe
Lacey, the hero.
All arrangements were made to use
tho real, live baby in the show, even
to procuring nurse 10 look after the
child during the short time it would be
back on the stage at each performance.
The day before the bill opened Dave
Easterly, representative OF the state
labor commissioner, served notice on
AIessrs. Powell and Hastings, managers
of the Grand, that ii would be viola
ton of the child labor law to use the
infant.
The child labor law probably was
never meant to apply TO infants in
arms and the case could be taken to
the courts and beaten no doubt, but
Messrs. Powell and Hastings do not
believe in legal complications. They
prefer giving the authorities the bene-
fit Of the doubt in all instances.
Therefore, without further ceremony,
they agreed not to use the baby.
Cliff Hastings would not stand for a
dummy being used. Director Harry
+. Vickery hurriedly rewrote part of
the lines, and the company was given
n last-minute rehearsal, so that the
play went off smoothly. and the baby
never put in an appearance, altho the
child is supposed TO be just a few
feet "off stage" at every performance.
Following The Heir to the Hoorah"
the new attraction at the Grand to-
will be "a Bachelors Romance" in
which comedy will predominant.

MARYLAND OIL LEASES
TO BE SOLD IN NOV.
Commission on School Land
Adopts Resolution Affect
ing 100000 Acres.
World Capital Bureau,

World Capital Bureau.
sl2 Campbell Building.
| OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. Sept IL.
The school land commission this
afternoon adopted n resolution ac-
cepting the report Of appraisement OF
| improvements held by Il. w. Marland,
J on approximately one hundred thou
sand acres of oil and gas leases held
by him, totalling about S2b0,000. and
also voted to hold sale of the lease
about November 6. The date was
not definitely set and 1t may be a few
days after that time.
This is but another step in the con-
troversy between four members of
the school land commission and Gov
ernor Williams. also member OF the
board. The difference arose over the
granting of the preference right
which had been contained in the orig
| inal lease to Marland. The four
members. r. II. Wilson, Frank Gault,
]. l.. Lyon, and f.. B. Howard. voted
to hold the sale subject to the prefer
ence right, while Governor Williams
voted against 1t. He had said on n
former occasion that he would invoke
injunction proceedings to prevent the
sale and he has not ndicated that he
has changed his mind.
The time for this to be done, how
ever would be when the lease is fully
concluded, which will be when the
bids are opened. Marland held two
sets OF leases, some expiring on May
6 and others on August L. The sale
will cover both. These leases had
practically all been transferred to the
Kay a. Kiowa Oil Co.. but the
provisions as to preference right still
maintained
Leases held by Marland which had
never been transferred and upon
which no development had been
made, covering about eighty thousand
| acres in Pawnee, Kay and Lincoln
counties, was turned loose in which
he waived preference right The
action of the school land board in ad-
vertising for sale oil and gas leases
also included leases held by the Sin
clair people in Payne county. with
improvements appraised at $4,000
and of the Uncle Sam Oil company
( in Pawnee county, appraised at s11,-
600. These leases are also to be Of
fered subject to the preference rights
