JOSEPH POPE URGES BONE
DRY LAW FOR THIS STATE

Helena.--Joseph Pope, superintend-
ent of the Montana Anti-Saloon league,
took up the bone dry issue in Montana
in sermon Sunday evening in a
Methodist church. Mr. Pope said that
without a bone dry law, prohibition
is class legislation, giving the rich the
opportunity of getting liquor in their
possession, while the wage Garner can
not afford it.
Mr.. Pope said the reason why that
provision was not Incorporated in the
law previously adopted was the fact
that many attorneys did not believe
such law would stand the test of the
supreme court. But that test was
made in the Idaho case and was sus-
tanned, since which time one state
after another stepped into the bone
dry column, Washington, Oregon.
Idaho, Colorado, South Dakota, states
bordering Montana on three sides,
adopting the law.

GASOLINE PRICES PROBED
BY JOINT HOUSE COMMITTEE
Food, Clothing, Shoes and Other Com
modities Will Be lnvesti-
gated Thoroughly.

ELENA.-Gosoline prices in the
state as handled by the Montana Oil
company, a jobbing concern, with head
offices in Helena, were brought to
The front by the joint house and senate
price investigating committee. Chair
man Booth, senator from FaIlon coun-'
y, said that the committee would touch
rock bottom on such commodities as
food, clothing, shoes, and other ne
cessities before the investigation is
completed.
Loring Cramer. traffic manager of
the Montana Oil company, was the
principal witness before the committee
this evening. Mr. Cramer's testimony
was to the effect that he bought gas0.
line laid down in Helena at % cents
which was sold to garages and middle
men for retail sales at % cents. The
cost to the company is the same for
gasoline in Helena or Billings, but that
it sold to middlemen for 26 IL cents in
Billings in order to meet the COMPETE
ton of the GreybuIi Refinery near Bill
lings, MIR. Cramer said that three
cent profit was also made on each gal
lon of Kerosene, buying ii mt 1902
cents and selling it at 16 cents. The
committele heard testimony from Mr.
Russell. owner of the Auto Gas & Oil
company of Butte. in which he said
that he secured gas for % IL cents in
Los Angeles and sold il at retail for,
q cents, while the garages sold it ut
from 80 TO 80 cents for cash and 80
on charge accounts. Other testimony
from Charles Austin of Butte was
that il was purchased in Boise for %
cents and sold for 80 and 81 cents and
in Los Angeles it was purchased for
Is cents and sold for II cents

Carrie Nation broke into the lime
light in the fall Of 1900 and made her
name a household word In newspaper
Offices and most American homes. She
was Mrs. David Nation Of Medicine
Lodge, Kan, and a member In good
and regular standing Of the w. C. +.
u. 1t is said that her first husband
died Of delirfum tremens. Anyway,
Carrie Nation had another and more
apparent incentive to use her Ratchet
on saloon furniture. And WELD that
hatchet she did; its fame temporarily
eclipsed that of the Father of His
Country.
Carrie Nations Little Ratchet.
Kansas was legally prohibition
state. AS a matter of fact prohibition
was but a name and the saloons of the
state were wide open. The general
plan was to fine saloon $25 a month
for breaking the law; that solved the
license difficulty. In short, prohibition
in Kansas had broken down complete
ly in the ten years it had been nOmi-
nally in force and the state authori-
ties had not the courage either to
modify the law or enforce it. Carrie
Nation took the situation into her own
hands.
Carrie Nation first visited Kiowa
and broke up two saloons with her lit
tie hatchet. Then she went to Wichi-
ia and broke up two more. She was
put in jail, kept there for several days

MONTANA SHIPPERS LOSE
MILLIONS BY DECISION
Interstate Commerce Commission
Rules Against Recovery of
High Rates Paid.

HELENA Montana shippers lost
claims aggregating million dollars,
it is estimated, when the interstate
commerce commission denied claims
against the railroads by shippers in
the Spokane district.
The claims of the Montana shippers
were filed by X. l.. Varney of this city,
secretary of the Montana Relief Mer-
chants association and traffic expert,
following the rate reduction of 1912
due toithe decision in the famous Spo-
kane and other intermOuntain points
in granting less rate to Pacific coast
points. The claims of the Spokane
shippers We're filed at the same time.
All sought to recover the difference
between the reduced rates which re-
suited from the Spokane rate case de-
cision, and the higher rates which had
prevailed previously. and covered a
period of two years prior to the re-
duction.

FLOURLESS BREAD WON'T DO
Idea Was Taken UP by the Germans
During the War, But Results
Were Not good.

Efforts have been made in the name
Of economy to make bread directly
from the grain without putting 1t
through the milling process, but it has
not been successful from any stand
point. This is done simply by soak
ing the grain in water and kneading 1t
into dough. The war committee of
German millers claims, however, that
this method was tried 80 years ago,
but has never been used, except In
small bakeries, and the expectations
Of obtaining a. large quantity of bread
IN this way have not been realized.
Using the grain itself, soaked in wa
ter, would save about 1h per cent or
dinarily lost in dust. Even then what
might be gained in weight would be
lost In nutrition, as the bread made Of
grain would contain many Impurities.

ness man of Pinole, Cal, says keen wit
liz most essential in the dealing with

cessful 1t works, he cites this bit Of

1t seems Jacobs had driven Jack
Silva, farmer hailing from round
Martinez, from here to Richmond. On
alighting in the oil city. Silva asked
that he be given transfer.
"a Transient shouted Jacobs
Think this is a traction company"
The farmer was irsistent.
"All right, take this" said Jacobs,
handing Silva a clothespin.
Shocked for the minute, the farmer
took the pin and gazed at it.
That's good on any line" hailed
back Jacobs as he drove away.

man said when he found 1t on his hook.

MANY GAIN fame
IN SALOON FIGHT
Activities of Various Kinds Win
Wide Attention.
FRANCES E. WILLARD LEADER
Known All Over World as Head Of
w. C. T. UPicturesque Career
of Carrie Nation Is
Recalled.

The final adoption of nationwide
prohibition calls to memory number
of men and women who have achieved
not only national but worldwide fame
through their connection with the pro-
hibition, or, as it once was known, the
| temperance movement.
Some of these persons who have
been most prominent in the movement
were active so long ago that their
names mean little to those who have
not been closely connected with the
prohibition movement, but others are
well remembered by the present gen
Grafton. Among those who have won
the widest fame at various times
through their activity in this work
may be mentioned Gen. Neal Dow,
who is credited with bringing prohi-
bition to Maine, the first state to be-
come dry; John B. Cough, who be-
came world-famous temperance"
lecturer after having been drink adj
dict at twenty-five; Frances E. Will
lard, who personifies the w. c. T. o..
and Carrie Nation, the eccentric sa-
loon smasher, who died only short
time ago after tempestuous career.
Gen. Neal Dow.
Neal Dow was born in Portland,
Nc, of Quaker parentage. He was
twice mayor of Portland and a MEM
Der of the state legislature. He en-
tered the Civil war as colonel of the
Thirteenth Maine volunteers. He was
wounded and was a prisoner in Libby
prison and was made brigadier gem
eral for gallant service. Yet the coun-
try knows Neal Dow simply as ga
Their of the Maine Law" and as a tenn
perance reformer. Maine passed the
law of which he was the author in
1851 and was the first state to estab-
lish prohibition. General Dow trav-
eled widely in foreign countries work
ing for temperance, and on his nine
tieth birthday memorial meetings
were held in many parts of the world.
He died in 1897.
JohneB. Cough, who was the first
temperance advocate to attract more
than local fame, was native of Eng
land, where he was born in 1917, but
he came to the United States when he
was twelve years old. He learned the
bookbinding trade, but early became
addicted to liquor and could not hold
a position. He made such a living as
he could by singing in saloons. Later
he made a new start and married, but
when he lost his wife and child he
again took to drink and sank to new
depths.
The turning-point in his life came
when he was induced by Massachu-
sets Quaker to sign total abstinence
pledge. He became temperance lee
turer, and after making many tours
In the United States he visited Eng
land, where he conducted two cam
paigns. His fame spread throughout !
the English speaking nations and his
books have been translated into many |
other languages.
