SCOBEY BOY CITED
FOR GALLANT ACTION

Charles J. Hanlon, who was en-
ployed in Scobey until about two years
ago when he joined the army, being
killed in September 26, 1918, has been
cited by his division commander for
extraordinary bravery and awarded
Distinguished Order of Merit medal.
Private Hanlon was member of
Company A, 3OSth infantry and his
act of volunteering, above his regu-
lar line Of duty, to advance with two
other volunteers to the most advanced
position to learn information neces-
sary to his commander, was one of
unusual bravery. He made the trip,
gained the report, took several pris-
oners and returned, and, with two of
his prisoners, was killed by burst
ing enemy shell.

MONTANA GRAIN YIELD
100000 BUSHELS
$7,O00,O00 Needed to Buy Seed Grain
for 10000 Farmers Needing
Assistance.

There are not to exceed 100000
bushels of grain in Montana to be
harvested this year, according to the
estimates made by several authorities,
who have canvassed the state. Most
of this will be taken from irrigated
tracts.
If Montana is going to try to buy
seed grain for 10000 farmers who
are said to require assistance if they
are to remain, it will cost the state
not less than $7,O00,0O0, and this does
not take into account feed for farm
stock and other necessary expenses.
Out of a total of $500 replies re-
ceived from farmers who were sent
missionaries in Is counties, about
half Of them will have to leave their
farms temporarily, and 782 perma-
nently, if they are not assisted.
These statements in brief, epito-
mize the report made by Senator An
derson, chairman of the senate COM
mittee, which was appointed to re-
port on crop conditions in the state
after consulting with a grain COM
pany, Chas. D. Greenfield, secretary
of agriculture and publicity, and Pres
ident Alfred Atkinson of the Bozeman
agricultural college.
The committee report says:
"Mr. President: Your committee on
crop conditions in the state beg leave
to submit the following partial re-
port:
"Mr. Greenfield, secretary of agri-
culture of the state, estimates the
wheat crop Of the state for 1919 to
be about 100000 bushels. He bases
this upon the estimate given him by
Mr.. Bailey Of the McCaull-Dinsmore
Grain company. Mr.. Bailey's esti-
mate two weeks ago was 100000
bushels, but he reports that where he
expected to buy carloads of grain he
will buy bushels. President Atkin-
son of the agricultural college at
Bozeman, estibates the wheat crop at
about 100000 bushels, or about one

RAINS HAVE QUENCHED
MONTANA FOREST FIRES

Missoula, August 3.-Due to heavy
rains all fires in the Montana nation
al forests are reported safe and the
only trouble the foresters are exper-
iencing now is with the blazes in the
Idaho reserves, which have not been
visited by showers. No reports of
new fires were received at the dis
trict headquarters.
The worst fires in the Idaho forests
are now burning in the Clearwater,
Selway, Nez Perce, St. Joe and Couer
d'Alene reserves. The largest fire in
the district is now burning on the
American river near Elk City in the
Nez Perce forest. The blaze that is
doing the most damage now is the
Bear creek fire in the Occur d'Alene
forest. This blaze has spread over
several thousand acres. Weather con-
ditions there are dry and hot and the
fire fighters are experiencing much
difficulty. Another bad fire in the
Coeur d'Alene reserve is the one on
Jordan river. Men have been sent
from here to Thompson Falls and will
cross over into Idaho to the fire.
The Lolo forest, where several bad
fires have been burning for weeks
was reported in good shape yester-
day. 1t was visited by heavy rains
and the foresters expect to have all
fires there trenched within the next
few days.
Good progress is being made against
the Hughes creek fire in the Bitter
Root forest.

HOSPITAL unit NO. |
Wins CROlX De GUERRE
Division that Major M. D. Hoyt Was
Member of Cited by French Gov
ernment.

Mobile hospital number one has been
awarded the Croix de Guerre by the
French government for it's activities
behind the Chateau Thierry, St. Mi
hiel and Meuse-Argonne fronts in
France. Not only did the hospital as
unit receive the coveted French wal
cross but Colonel Macrae, commander
of the unit himself, was recognized by
a personal citation carrying with it
the Croix De Guerre.
Awarding the cross to mobile hos
pital number one is considered sig
nal distinction owing to the reluctance
of the French government to give such
recognition to it's own hospitals work
ing behind the lines. 1t is believed
that Mobile No. is the first hospital
to gain this recognition. In April
of this year it was known that no
French hospital had been cited with
the Croix De Guerre,
The citation, which is an order of
Marshal Petain, commanderin-chief
of the French armies of the east, reads
as follows:
"Under the approval of the COM
mander-in-c of the American ex-
, peditionary forces in France, the mar

The harvest is fully ten days earl

HILLYARD MEN STRIKE.

Spokane, WASH, August 5.-Loco-

here, went on strike today in support
of the demands of the shopmen's un-

of the company did not strike, it was
stated.
A strike vote of union shopmen en-
ployed by railroads here was being
taken today in compliance with vote
at union meeting last night, and it
had been expected that unions which
had previously voted to strike today
would withhold action pending this
vote.

coats are reported very light with
few good prospects in the state. Ow-
ing to shortage of water for irriga-
tion the alfalfa crop will be below
normal and other hay scarce. Some
are already feeding hay to their stock
due to the burned up condition Of their
pastures. This will further increase
the shortage of feed for winter use.
"Some idea of the crop conditions
may be gained from a survey made
by the agriculture college through the
county agents and farm bureaus of
the state. Questionnaires were sent
out to the farmers of Cascade Chou

Chicago, August 5.-Officials of
