GRAIN GROWERS
ARE ORGANIZED
ASSOCIATION FORMED WHICH
WILL ENDEAVOR TO PROTECT
THE WHEAT PRICE

Delegates representing the farm
bureaus and other farmers coopera-
dith Basin, Fergus and Chouteau
counties met in Lewistown a few
days ago to consider plans for the
formation of a Montana state grain
growers association.
A. A. Gilmore, president of the
Farmers Union of Washington and a
representative of the Pacific North
west Grain Growers association ad-
dressed the convention, outlining for
the assembled delegates the contract
plan of wheat pool selling used by
the growers associations in Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho.
Acting upon the suggestion of the
temporary organization committee
created st a former meeting of the
delegates, the convention adopted the
following resolution:
Whereas, the wheat growers of
this state and nation are at this time
facing ruin, mortgage and bank
|ruptcy by reason of the absurd and
un~reasonably low price of wheat,
which threatens to deprive them of
tn sir homes, happiness and prosper
'ity, and
Whereas, there seems to be no
way of meeting the serious crisis and
the situation except through an abso-
lutte bona fide farmers marketing as
.sociation.
Now, therefore, be it resolved
that the chairman of this convention
be instructed to appoint a committee
of IL men, including himself, as a
dot $40 As,af;n,a nNpa as4fan fnTs tha
expires purpose of initiating and
developing the Montana Wheat
Growers association, and for the fur
Their purpose of developing a pure
cooperative marketing association
whereby all the wheat of this state
will be handled on a cooperative
basis for the benefit of the producer
and ultimately the consumer.
THAT said committee be, and is
hereby instructed to prepare plans
for such cooperative marketing as
sociation for the state of Montana;
work out all the preliminary de-
tails thereof; to the proper
contracts to be drawn; appoint such
assistance and other committees as
in their judgment may be necessary
and in general to do everything to
bring into existence such cooperative
marketing association for the wheat
farmers Of the state of Montana"
Immediately after the close of the
session, Chairman ID. r. Gresap car
ried out an order of the above resolu-
ton and appointed the following II
men as a permanent committee to
draft a tentative contract and perfect
a Montana State Grain W ac-

cowardice. Some speed, Penn" And
he pointed to the rapidly disappear
ing figures of the men who would
put him out of the way.
Judge Pemberton says it was the
greatest exhibition of speed occurring
in Montana before the days of the
automobile. "They ran in a way that
would make a scared jackrabbit won

laughed. That incident did more to
hearten the men who were with us
than anything else possibly could do.

sorting that while many Indians
fought on the union side in the civil
war to release the negro from slavery

whereas Indians who fought in the
war still are without this privilege.

manded by Jonathan Tibet, chief
counsellor of the Indian Mission fed
Grafton of California. Each tribe
should be allowed to govern itself on

interests than the majority of agents
and officials who control Indian in
terests under the present system.

Full citizenship is the right of the
members of the Indian race, dele
gates asserted in addresses at the
ninth annual conference of the So
ciety of American Indians in session
at st. Louis. 1t is the duty of the
government to see that this right is
conferred, they asserted. Legisla-
ton has not been enacted, it was en-
phasized, that would grant citizen

The Rev. Red Fox, a member of
the Northern Blackfeet, one of the
speakers, declared that the influx of
japanese is a menace to the Pacific
coast. He charged that government
agents have taken Indian land and
leased it to the Japanese and that
the latter now control many lumber
camps in the state of Washington.

Virginia City shortly after Bill Fair
rich placers of Alder gulch. He had
won his passage across the prairies
by driving a bull team. In Virginia
City he set up an office and began
the practice of law. When the Vigil
lantes were organized for the exter-
mination of Plummer and his band of
robbers, he cast his lot with the law
and order element, and at the trial
of George Ives, Plummer's lieuten-
ant, acted as reporter for the miners
court which ~adjudged Ives guilty and
fixed his punishment at death.
The sentence was Immediately car
ried out. Ives body had been cut
down from the ~improvised scaffold.
His friends, highwaymen and their
sympathizers, talked reprisals. Will
bur F. Sanders, who conducted the
prosecution, and insisted on the i'm
mediate execution of the arch-mur-
derer, was marked for death. Ru-
mors of the intention of Ives friends
to do away with Sanders reached his
friends from several sources.
An hour after Ives body had been
cut down, in the gathering dusk
Judge Pemberton happened to be
standing in the shadow back of one
of the miners cabins in Nevada City.
A group of men, whose actions dur
ing the execution of Ives demon
strated their sympathy for the first
Vigilante victim and marked them as
Plummer's men were nearby. They
could not see Pemberton. They were
discussing the execution of Ives.
They were half full of barbed-wire
whisky, and talked Unfortunately.
Sanders name was mentioned.

of these devils. But for him George
Ives would be alive this minute. If
he lives the lives of every n of our
gang is in danger"
YES" said another, "and we must
do it right away. He is altogether
too keen ON this hanging. We will
have to put him out of the way"
Pemberton, unnoticed, slipped
around the cabin and ran into San
ders. He told Sanders of the CONVEX
sation he had overheard, and warn
ed him of his danger.

front to these fellows" said Sanders.

Pemberton Was in Danger


And so brave old Penn, the joke
smith of the pioneers, ~laughingly dis
misses his part in an incident in
which the courage of two Montanans
of those early days was proven. He
does not dwell on the fact that he
was close at his impetuous friends
heels, carelessly ready to take the
medicine that the desperate bandits
planned to give to Sanders. Because
if the robbers had killed Sanders as
he dashed around the corner, they
would have had to kill Pemberton,
too. All he thought of was that San
ders was in danger, and he proposed
to share that danger in order to give
him some measure of protection.
After these two pioneer lawyers
had helped their fellows to clean the
district of brigandage, they assisted
in the organization of the territory.
With the creation of the territory the
democrats and republicans aligned
themselves in contests for glory and
place. Pemberton became the war
horse of the territorial democracy.
Sanders was the perpetual leader of
the republicans. Both were famous
orators. They would stump the state
when campaigns were on, and make
frenzied %oratorical onslaughts on
each others principles and purposes.
They were so bitter that their res
pective adherents sometimes thought
that only a physical encounter could
adjust the differences in their politi-
cal beliefs. When they would meet
at some central place of these poll
teal campaigns, it was blood and
together at some quiet resort after
the meetings were over.
Named County for Sanders
There they would forget their poll
tics and express their mutual admira-
ton and respect for each other, born
in the %perilous days when they were
helping each other to rid the state of
Plummer and his cutthroat gang, by
each trying to do all the buying, the
while their political friends stood
around with bated breath, waiting
for the real fight to begin. 1t never
began. Pemberton and Sanders re-
manned friends up to the time of San
ders' death, and it was at Judge Penn
berton's suggestion, when the friend
of his youth lay dying, that the legis-
lators changed the name of Paradise
county, then in the throes of creation,
to Sanders county, and made on
the map of Montana a permanent
monument to his political adversary
and close friend of ante-territorial
days.

should not be permitted to work more
than eight hours, but in those trades
in which the weather conditions de-
termine whether there is work or no
work, we must find some way to take
advantage Of the favorable condi-
tons, or pay the price. There are
certain seasons Of the year in which
the planting and cultivating Of crops
must be done. During this season
the farmer must work much more
than eight hours a day. Other pro-
ductive lines must learn from the
farmer and take advantage Of the
favorable weather conditions. If we
would do this just for one building

striking editorial from Country Life.
The picture of our economic situation
At presents is far from optimistic. 1t
is scarcely overdrawn. There are, Of
course, many localities in which the
abuses, both in the matter of labor
and the profiteering capitalists, are
nothing like so serious. There are
many wage earners whose attitude is
reasonable, whose wages are mod
crate and who are rendering efficient
y service. The honest and industrious
wage earners suffer with the re-
mainder Of the public from the at
titude of those who will not work
unless they get double wages, or
who insist upon working only part Of
the time and in a most Indifferent
manner just as the merchants and
the manufacturers who are satisfied
with fair profit must suffer as the
result of profiteering on the part Of
other merchants and manufacturers.
The elimination of the profiteer

labor cannot of itself solve the prob

solution of the problem, however,
than any other one factor in our eco

Rents would at least be no higher
next winter. There is good reason
to believe they would be considerably
lower. Under existing conditions there
is danger that they may be higher.
If we could raise the standard of eff
ficiency and add an hours time a
day in every productive industry, the
'law of supply and demand would
result in lower prices in many lines.
As long as there are three or four
families waiting to rent every vacant
house, we may expect rents to soar.
As long as there is an untitled demand

not expect prices to fall.

The Viper Strikes

Bolshevism, rank, rotten, German

raised its head in America and
sought to strike its poisoned fangs
into the breast Of the nation that has

us, newspapers have derided us for
being alarmists when for two years
we have warned the country against
the spread of Bolshevism. America,

success on eight hours a day. The
man who starts out on eight hours a
day and sticks to it will never be any
thing else but wage Garner. Those
who are willing to work more than
eight hours to employ all Of their ca
pacities, get out of the wage earning
class. The man who is willing to
work only eight hours must also be
willing to accept a limited amount of
the comforts and Injuries Of life.
