BILL INTRODUCED TO
STOP IMMIGRATION

Washington, August PA bill to
stop all immigration for two years,
and bill to deport all aliens who
withdrew their first papers to escape
military service during the war, was
introduced yesterday by Chairman AL
bert johnson of the house immigra-
tion committee.
After the end of the two-year sus-
pension period, aliens would be en-
titled to admission to the United
States only under passport or on
written declaration to become an
American citizen. They would be re-
quired to register annually until citi-
zenship was conferred
Fed exceptions to the prohibition
of immigration for two years are per-
mitted by the bill.
Adoption of the bill would mean, its
trainers say, literal fulfillment Of the
so-called "gentlemen's agreement" be-
tween the United States and Japan

he rates agreed upon to contractors
We're:
Three-ton trucks, equipped, $3.50
per working day.
Two-ton trucks, equipped, Sc per
working day.
One hundred and twenty horsepow-
er Caterpillar, equipped, $l1 per work
ing day.
For counties the commission an
nounced the following arrangement:
Two-ton trucks will be rented to
counties upon payment to the commits
sion of the equipment and charges
which the commission incurred in OBJ
tanning the trucks from the govern
ment. This will be all the rental tc
be paid for the years 1919 and 1920
After 1920 the annual rental will
be $400 for two-ton trucks and $500
for three-ton trucks.

with respect to immigration and would
keep out Japanese coolies.
Under the Root Tokihara agreement,
Japan is obligated to send no coolies
to this country, but, it is charged
that the records disclose that they ar
rive by the thousands, with passports
as merchants, students, and the like.
Once here, it is alleged, they remain,
send for picture brides," rear fami-
lies and their children become citizens
of the United States by right of birth.
Representative johnson says the re-
quirement that aliens landing at Amer
ican ports must have passports with
a time limit will break up the great
inflow of foreigners.
After taking out papers, aliens must
remain here five years for final cit
izenship, with a time allowance off
for knowledge of the elements of the
American plan of government and pro-
ficiency in the English language. If
an alien does not require citizenship in
eight years he is sent home.

MALTA BABY NARROWLY
ESCAPES INSTANT DEATH
Little Tot Thrown Twenty-Five Feet
by Locomotive and Escapes with
Severe Shaking Up.

What is considered one of the most
miraculous escapes from death ever
chronicled in this vicinity was the ac-
cident that happened last Friday night
when the little 14-months-o]d son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Facey was hit by
the locomotive on No. and the little
lad hurled for 25 feet through space,
only to be badly bruised and shaken
up as result of his trip in the air,
says the Malta Call of last week.
Mrs. Facey had prepared some
choice sweet corn for the evening meal
and had concluded to let some neigh
bors share in the treat. She left home
or few moments to deliver the roast
ing ears and while she was gone the
baby toddled over to the tracks and
before any warning could be given,
No. came down and only for the
fact that Engineer Richard L. Muir
ply saw the baby and applied the
emergency brakes, would have struck
the child full speed.
The parents brought the youngster
over to the Great Northern hotel
where a physician Immediately waited
upon it and after careful diagnosis,
announced that no bones were broken
and that Tom Jr., had a fair chance
to recover.
Latest advices from the family home
where the child was later taken states
that he is recovering nicely and it sis
not thought at this time that he will
sustain any permanent injuries as a
result of the accident.

GRAIN YIELD IN COUNTY
LARGER Than EXPECTED
FARM NEAR GLASGOW THRESHES THIRTY ONE
BUSHELS TO THE ACRE; AVERAGE YIELD
THROUGHOUT COUNTY WILL BE FROM
THREE TO FOUR BUSHELS /:

Threshing in Valley county is we'll
under way and from reports being re-
ceived the yields in most sections of
the county will range from one and a
half to nine bushels with an average
yield of three to four bushels through
out the county.
Yields are probably not as heavy
as in former years, but then this year
weather conditions were not so favor
able. Herman Slowing, near Glasgow,
reports 81 bushels Of Macaroni wheat
to the acre. Farmers living south Of
Tampico are threshing at an average
of 10 bushel of wheat to the acre.
Crops in the vicinity of Avondale and
Baylor are better than first expected.
The people near Opheim and Roam
wood are claiming the largest yield
per acre in the county.
Right here we would like to say for
the benefit Of the people who are in
clined to be pessimistic that they
should visit the commercial club rooms
and take glimpse Of the sheaves and
threshed grains that are there await
ing to be displayed at the one-day
agricultural exhibit to be held here
Labor Day, September 1st.
The quality of grains being harvest
ed and threshed this year are excep-
tional. The elevators are paying in
most cases for No. l grade and in
some instances premium ON wheat
Valley county is noted for raising the
best milling wheat west Of the Mis-
sissippi river and this year more than
proves that fact.
In spite of drought conditions the
farmers of the county are summer fall
lowing more land than before, which
only convinces the man who is uncer-
tain of the future of this county that
if the farmer did not have faith he
would not be so persistent.
Alfalfa will be the leading crop in
Valley county before another five
years have passed by. This year a
number of farmers are increasing
their acreage nearly double and many
others who never grew alfalfa are
placing their land in shape to raise it.
The alfalfa seed grown this year is
the same as the wheat quality. The
best ever produced in the county
There has been no live stock ship
ped out of Glasgow to feeding ranges
in other states because of insufficient
feed here. In fact, over 40 cars OF
cattle and horses were shipped into
Valley county for feeding purposes.
There will no doubt be few farm
ers who will find it necessary to buy
some feed so that they might hold
their stock over this winter, but the
county as whole has large amount
of hay on hand.
But very few people are leaving
the county and most of those leaving
plan on returning next spring.

Gus Kind, the young Hinsdale home
steader who was brought to the Glas-

exposure and skull fracture, died Sat-

SPOTTER BADLY BEATEN.

S. H. Thinwall. the North Dakota
Enforcement league agent, who did
some under cover work in Arthur two
years ago to get evidence against an
alleged blind pig, was badly beaten
up in Minot few nights ago. The
booze detective was attacked on the
street on a Sunday night following
church services and when found hours
later had been horribly beaten about
the head and body. Thinwall had
preached at Minot church the eve

FOREST FIRES SWEEP
WESTERN MONTANA
Five Thousand Men Put Up Heroic
Fight in an Effort to Save
Towns in Path of Flames.

Missoula, Montana, August 27.-
Five thousand men, composing the fire
fighting forces of the forest service,
were waging a drawn battle today
against hundreds of forest fires
sweeping over Montana and nothern
Idaho, with no prospect of controlling
the flames further than to save what
soever towns may be in their path
until rain intervenes.
This estimation of the situation was
made at forest service headquarters
here today, where it was said that
despite the refusal of federal troops
to aid in the fight against the flames,
no shortage of men is feared, civil
ian recruits filling the daily vacancies
in the ranks of the fighters.
The most dangerous fire reported
today was the Deep Creek blaze,
sweeping into the southern end of the
Bitter Root forest from Idaho yester-
day. A sheet of flames mile wide
spread over five miles of Montana
land after crossing the divide. 1t
proved impossible to hold the fire at
Blue Joint creek and it advanced to
the head of Coal creek, where it is
now burning. While an effort is be-
ing made to hold the blaze on the
south end, there was believed to be
little chance of checking it on the
north side. Fighters are being hur-
ried to this blaze from all other Bit
ter Root fires.
The Canyon creek fire in the Sal
mon mountain district of the Bitter
Root forest is burning fiercely over
800 acres of timber.
Four fires in the Beaver ridge re-
gion of the Lolo forest joined into a
huge blaze ten miles wide, sweeping
across the mountains from Lolo Hot
Springs, despite all efforts to stop it..
= Fair progress is being made in the
Clearwater forest, with the danger
Gus Arogrande blaze held within con-
fines established by forestry crews.
An immense fire on Rocy Ridge is be-
ing held on the south and west, on an
eight mile line, from crossing into
the valuable Lolo watershed. The
Goose creek fire is burning in threat
ening manner, while several blazes
are smoking up in a manner to indi-
cate that they are very serious.
Reports from the Kootenai forest
are favorable. The Nelson Siding fire
on Steamboat creek in the Coeur d.
Alene forest, is uncontrolled and
spreading very rapidly. 1t was stat
ed that a fighter had been fatally in
jured there, but no report had been
received at district headquarters
The School gulch fire near Boze-
man has developed into one of the
worst in the district, burning beyond
hope Of control.
Messages have been received from
headquarters of district No. at Den
YER, asking the return of some of the
forestry officials who came here to
assist in directing the fire fighting
operations, as it was declared that
they are urgently needed in the for
ests of Wyoming and Colorado.
