'In order to give applicants a basis

adequate to take care of the situation,
and it is expected that perhaps $780,

Arrangements now will be merely for
fall planting, the proposition of spring
planting to be taken up later.
Washington is In most confident
frame of mind as regards the war;"
continued the governor "This is in
marked contrast to what it was four
months ago when was there last.
There is belief that the nation is
hitting it's stride in all war activities
and the success in transporting troops
and munitions and the prospects of a
good crop this year, together with the
splendid account the Americans have
given of themselves in the battles
along the Marine, have frightened up
the situation materially. There is a
feeling closely approaching elaticn.
Senator Walsh is in splendid
health. He looks we'll and is full of

leave Washington Monday night and
will arrive in the state this week.
How long the Senator will remain he

Sensational Run Between Great
Falls and Helena Made Tues
day Night in Record Time.

Flying over the road at forty miles
an hour to save the candidacy of a
northern Montana man for congress
in the Second district, Grant Smith
and George Hagenson made the trip
to Helena in the Studebaker six Tues
day night, Smith at the wheel and
Hagenson carrying 267 names upon
petitions of Robert J. Moore, of Glas-
gov, for nomination as congressman
in the Republican primaries. The trip
was a record breaker, and the candi-
dacy OF Moore was saved at the last
moment.
Tuesday was the last day for filing
nominations with the state secretary,
and that night at II o'clock the last
minute. Moore arrived in Great Falls
Monday afternoon shy something like
400 names under the belated ruling of
Attorney General S. c. Ford, that S69
petition names were necessary to COM
plete filing for the republican con-
gres sional primary nomination.
Mr.. Moore is some hustler himself
and having started for the nomination
he concluded to keep going. Placing
the campaign for names in charge of
Alderman c. E. Hubbard, an old time
friend Of Mr. Moore's, he started into
the battle. Hubbard and his aids work
ing all night long, getting names in
Black Eagle after II o'clock Monday
night and taking the rest of the
night to check the petitions up.
Saved By Thirty Minutes.

SCENES STAGED IN
HISTORIC CABIN

As Philip Nolan, "The Man With
out Country" in Metros historical
American drama "My Own United
States," Mr.. Arnold Daily acted in the
original cabin where the real Philip
Nolan spent many weary hours. This
noteworthy production which presents
many of the most interesting phases
of American history will be shown at
the Orpheum theater on Saturday,
August 10.
For the taking of the scenes in the
cabin, a complete lighting equipment
was installed on the veteran ship of
the American Novy. The night battle
scenes were staged by the light of
flares which furnished just enough
light for photography, maintaining
the darkness as on the night of the
original fight with the pirates of
Algiers.

Draft Limit To
Be from Is to 45

In recommending this extension of
the age limits, Mr.. Baker continued,
the department had it in mind simply
to get for the army the number of
men believed necessary to defeat Ger
many. The secretary was not prepared
to say how many that would be, nor
to give any estimates as to the propor-
tion of males between the sges of IS
to As, inclusive, would be found eli
gible.
In making up the list and classes,
the same rules would be followed that
had governed in the first draft with
some exceptions from the first call
of married men with dependents and
those engaged in essential industries.
Mr.. Baker gave it as his opinion that
so far about 100000 had been drafted
out of class one from the existing list.

This year above all years, the
Glasgow chautauqua should be largely
attended because of the unusual op-
portunity to obtain reliable informa-
ton concerning many phases of the
great war. The Ellison-White people
are sending US the best talent on the
chautauqua circuit and from glancing
over the programs that have been dis
tributed about town the past few DAYS
it is evident that we may expect a
series of enjoyable and instructive
entertainments.

committee, c. H. Alderman and the
board of directors are at work MAX

OPERATION OF WIRES
REMAIN THE SANE
Postmaster General Says No
Changes Will Be Made With
out Consulting Bell.

Under the authority of the law and
by the proclamation of the president,
possession and control of the wire
systems pass to the postmaster gen.
eral as on August /.
In conference held in Washington,
at which were present the postmaster
general, the government operating
committee and representatives of the
Bell companies, the postmaster gen.
eral expressed most emphatically his
appreciation of the service which the
Bell companies were rendering, and
that such improvement possible to be
made would be because of the
additional power derived from the
government. He asked for the Coop
GRAFTON and assistance of those who
had heretofore been responsible for
the service.
The postmaster general was equally
emphatic in the statement Of his de-
sire to conserve the service and prop
critics of the companies with view
of returning them, when called upon
so to do, to the owners in as good con-
dition as received. That it was his
earnest desire that the owners should
receive just compensation in the full
sense of their use.
The postmaster general, until other
instructions are issued, desires that
the conduct of operation shall con-
tinue as heretofore, and also states
that no changes will be made until
after consultation and full and careful
consideration to all who are identified
with the Bell companies, who have
shown fine sense of obligation and
loyalty and fidelity to the country, to
the public service and to the property
in the past, and to whom the credit
is due for the prestige and position
of the companies in the public eye. 1t
is asked, and it is not too much to ask
you, that same loyalty, fidelity and
devotion to the service under the new
order of things. On your behalf much
loyalty, fidelity and devotion to the
service have been promised, knowing
full we'll the spirit in which you would
meet and respond to the request. To
do ones full duty in each position is
the greatest obligation resting upon
every person and is also the greatest
opening to the future preferment.

morning 200 names shy Of necessary
$50. Mr.. Hubbard told him to be
"Johnnie-on-the-spot" in the secre-
tary of states office at the witching
hour Of eleven last night. The work
of securing names went on, the petit
tions being certified and finished and
at 1882 that night they were handed
to George Hagenson, who hoped into
the big Studebaker six machine beside
Grant Smith and the race for Helena
began. The big machine rushed
through the darkness like racing
engine, passed over prairies, noun
tains, and through Helena, on to the
state capitol and swung up before
the steps with wild shrieks at 1l:1S,
just three hours and 46 minutes from
the time they had left Great Falls
and at 11:30 the filing of Robert j.
Moore for congress was completed
with 1000 names and the day was
saved.
Seventy Miles an Hour.
The trip stands as record between
Great Falls and Helena in the night
time and meant an average of nearly
40 miles an hour over the Rocky
mountains in darkness, the distance
being about ia miles. 1t was the one
sensational incident of the entire cam
paign and if the man from Glasgow
runs as we'll in the primaries and
election as he ran in securing names
to complete his filing there will be
nothing to it.
The road crosses the Rocky noun
tains at Sullivan hill on the trip, and
through the Prickley Pear canyon
where high rate of speed is impos-
sible because of the grades and turns
for nearly 20 miles. At times the big
car registered 70 miles an hour on
the open road.
