HEANEY HOOKS
0NELlVE One
Serious Friend Fails to See
Joke, Warns of Prison
Offense.

A. l.. Heaney, state distributor for the
Nelie automobile, was saved from the
federal prison few days ago by one
Of his friends. No one is more pleased
by the fact than Heaney because none
gets so much fund out of the joke as
he. Here is how it happened:
w. r. Call. the local Velie agent and
Mr.. Heaney, while sitting around the
office during the cold weather devised
little contrivance which apparently
takes a plain piece Of paper and running
it between rolls turns it into crisp
new five dollar bill And the interesting
part of it is that the bill is just as good
as can be got at one of the banks Mr.
Heaney showed the thing to a number
Of his friends and all enjoyed the laugh
when they saw the thing was trick
that is all but one. That one looked at
it. grew serious and didn't seem to get
the joke. Finally Heaney thought he
would have a little more fun and he
said:
Better take a little stock in it,
Frank. We can make a mint of money
out Of it and none will ever be any
wiser. Think it over
Frank went away. Apparently he did
think it over for little later he called
Heaney over the telephone and request
ed that he go no further with the thing
until he could take it up with him. When
he met Mr.. Heaney he cautioned him
that he had been studying the matter
and he didn't see how it could escape
being branded as device Of counter
feiters. Then after Heaney stopped
laughing long enough to do so, he ex-
planned the thing to Frank and the lat
ter gazed into space for Il few seconds
and then remarked:
Well shiver my timbers. Art. that's
the darnest trick I ever saw worked
and I'm willing to buy you a good cigar"
has been smoking off the victim ever
since on the promise that he won't come
nearer telling his name than to say his
first name is Frank.

More Antelopes Die
From Bullets Than
Starvation, Is Claim

There is greater need for game war
den protection than for hay to take care
nf the antelope which range the coun-
try north of Fort Shaw and in the vicin-
ity of Asheulot and Fairfield, according
to Lester Young. one of the young ranch
crs of that section. Mr.. Young came
to Great Falls Thursday for visit with
his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Young
and he says that it has been his obser
walton that more antelope are dying be-
cause Of being hit by lead bullet than
because Of lack Of hay. He reports find
ing proof Of one having been killed about
two miles straight north Of Lange's
road house at the junction of the Sun
River and Choteau roads. Mr.. Young
says he realizes it may be hard for a
game warden to get all the guilty ones
who kill the antelope but he thinks there
is more danger Of the herd being wiped
out that way than because of the lack
Of hay or other forage.

He Declares.

Special to The Daily Tribune.
Helena. Jan. S.-With orders for lum-
Der coming in from the forest areas in
Montana in greater numbers than has
been the case in years for all kinds of
state owned standing timber except
lodge pole pines. ]. c. Van Hook, state
forester, said he wished he could be of
help to the newspapers of Montana in
establishing print paper manufacturing
plant in the western part of the state
which would use the lodge pole which
at present is growing to maturity and
dying without being used.
Cut Paper Cost.
"1f the newspapers of Montana could
form concern for the production of
print paper for their own plants. and
locate it in the western part of the
state, feel sure they could cut down
the cost Of paper" Mr.. Van Hook said.
He explained that there is vast COM
mercial supply of material in Montana
forests available for paper manufacture
which is going to waste. The lodge
pole pine is among the better of the
raw products and there are thousands
Of acres of lodgepole pine which is not
being used for any purpose.

SPECIAL TRAIN, lOODELECATES

Great Falls Committee Wants Bigger Crowd at
Billings Convention Than Attended Miles City
Last Year; First Meeting Held.

never was year when people were more
keenly interested in the question OF good
livestock. Accordingly. it was decided
to keep in touch with the situation and
at the proper time to take such action
as would mean a good delegation to the
Billings meeting.
The Northern Montana Livestock Pa
viion company's new building will be
completed and ready for sales of pure
bred cattle there this spring and this is
one reason the committee believes that
Great Falls should send special train
from this city to Billings carrying from
100 to $50 business men from all sec
tions of northern Montana.
AS the argument for the special train
for the Billings trip, it will save practi-
cally two days for the men who go as
they can leave here at night and arrive
there the morning the meeting opens
while if they attend and travel by the
usual route, they must start in the morn
ing prior to the day the convention
opens. Coming back, they can leave by
their special train late in the evening
while if they came by the usual train
they would have to stay in Billings until
the following morning.
