Jacob H. Schiff, philanthropist AMI

home in New York City, after an
illness of heart disease, complicated
by arterioschlerosis and aortitis urae-

Mr.. Schiff's last illness kept within
the family that few Of his associates

Worn ythe ex rtions which he in

few years on behalf Of the war suffer

Schiff's health began to give way
about six months ago. Reticent in this
affliction, as he was in the manner

the secret to himself for months, un-
willing to admit that his health was

having concluded the advertising
campaign of the Montana Power
company which has been in progress
the past three months, containing es-

this company. In New York he will
confer with John d. Ryan, president
of the Power company, and c. F..
Kelly. president of the Anaconda
Copper company with reference to
launching other campaigns.
Mr.. Towne's conclusion with refer
ence to the productivity of newspa-
per. advertising in Montana was the
result. he said, Of his observations
in connection with the extensive
campaign which has recently closed.
The reason" he said, lis plain.
In Montana the home papers have
little or no competition from the out
side. Each paper serves fields that
would be considered enormous areas
in tka east and Montana people,
find, read their home papers more
thoroughly and in larger numbers
than do people in eastern communi-
ties. 1t is therefore possible to con-
centrate an advertising campaign en-
tirely within the state. and yet pro-
cure results Which would be imposs
sible anywhere east OF the Missouri
river without using the columns OF
papers from the larger cities.' In
addition to conducting the Montana
Power company advertising cam
paign, Mr.. Towne prepared a book
let for the Anaconda Copper COM
pany. of which an edition of 10000
was issued. He has been in Montana
six months, and declared before leav-
ing that he could say conscientiously
that the state and its prospects had
impressed him more favorable than
other sections of the country

FOR CO.
BOXING COMMISSION

Under Montana's new boxing bill,
adopted ty the voters of the state
at the November elections and pro-
claimed law, boxing matches are
permitted in any county in which
commission has been appointed.
Appointment lies in the hands of the
district Judge or judges OF the ju-
ldcial district in which the county
lies. There is no state boxing COM
nilsson.
Any boxing club after securing a
license from the commission, may
hold bouts not to exceed Is rounds
and the law provides that partici-
pants in matches must submit to
medical examination before enter
ing the ring and use gloves weigh
ing over six ounces. Fighters who
have been barred in other states can
not box in Montana under the new
bill. Before a license can be secured
each club must deposit bond of
$4,000 with the county treasurer to
insure payment to the state OF so
per cent of the net returns, to go to
state fund for building and MAIN
tenance OF state home for disabled
soldiers and sailors of the world
war.
The measure providing boxing
commissions received a majority of
votes in it's favor in Powder River
county, indicating the desire of our
people for sport of this character.
To qualify under the provisions of
the law it Is necessary for at least
100 taxpayers to petition the district
Judge for the appointment of such
commission for this county. Several
of these petitions were prepared this
week and no doubt they will be nu-
mer0usly signed.
The boxing measure became lew
with the signature Of the state Off
cial attached about two weeks ago,
so that the petitions must be COM
pleted for filing with the district
judge shortly after January /.

WOLF ARRIVES AND MEETS
WITH WARM RECEPTION

The only wolf IN the county: so
far as known, arrived q few days
ago on the Mizpah and met with
rather a warm reception. 1t was
observed by George Grooms in It's
prailmihary attack upon horse:
ysala Mad 1920 calibre rifle and
got within a 75-yard range unob-
served. Two shots were fired. one
striking the wolf in the shoulders.
That Sunday evening Grooms. Billy
and Earl Thompson tracked the
wolf two and half miles, and in
one spot found pool of blood where
it had stopped to rest. The next
morning the pursuit was continued
a distance Of two more miles, but a
snowstorm ensued and obliterated
the trail. The supposition is that the
beast probably died before. going
much further.
According to Grooms, the wolf
had footprints nearly as large as a
bear and when first seen looked
the size of year-old calf.
Another wolf has been seen lately
in the vicinity of the l. ranch.

New Manager
At Flour Mill

John Leno on Wednesday of this
week succeeded w. G. Kenney as
miller at the local -four mill and
hereafter will be in charge. Of opera
tions there.
From reports, $500 bushels Of
wheat are on hand at the mill to be
converted into -four. Only one shift
will be worked. While the capacity
of the mill is 25 barrels of flour a
day of "a hours, it will be the aim
to average at least ten barrels day
working only one shift. This much
flour will consume 81 bushels of
wheat: SO that there is two-months
supply of wheat on hand now ready
tor grinding and some wheat is
coming in occasionally. There is
much wheat in the county, but
stored away until better prices OBJ
tain. The latest quotations received
from Miles City called for Sl.54 a
bushel. making the price in Broadus
around 81.
Mr.. LenO. the now miller. is eX-
perienced in that profession. Sew
eral years ago he installed and oper-
ated a 12-barrel mill at his place
near here, but this mill was later
moved to Boyes.

SERIOUS YEAR FOR
THE MONTANA SHEEP

WoolgroWers OF Montana have just
clOsed the books on one of the most
disastrous seasons in the histry of
the industry, according to the an
nual summary Of F.. A. Gray. general
agent in Montana of the Chicago &
Northwestern lines.
The wool season OF 13l9-192O is
not pleasant subject. OF one to
BOAST Of" Mr.. Gray said, and added:
ITO begin with. the 1919-1920
period was disastrous and expensive.
costing stOckmen over $5O,OOO,OOO
for feed. much of which was inferior,
all expensive and was necessary
from October Is to May of this year.
The sheep did not do we'll and the
deeces We're much lighter. The
weather during lambing season was
BAD and the losses very heavy.
MOT pound OF wool was sold in
Montana and less than per cent
sold at Boston. a few sales being
made at 80 to IS cents at Boston,
which would mean cents less than
II sold here. All our wool was ship
ned to commission houses in Chi
cago, Philadelphia and Boston. the
growers accepting advances Of 25 to
ing the lower figure. There is no
, market today and what price will
eventually be paid would only be a
guess. but l doubt if over 80 cents
will be received unless an embargo
is placed against foreign wools.
From official sources should es-
innate the total clip for 1920 at 49,
S4S,0OO pounds and 1919. about 49,
100000 pounds.
MANY sheep were shipped to ad-
joining states to be fed and very few
were brought back.
1.-THE outlook for the coming win
ter, SO far as weather and feed are
concerned, was never brighter. The
prices Of sheep have dropped. along
with wool, so that our growers must
add this to their losses for the year
and charge up the readjustfent,
which now seems must apply to all
classes Of business before we can gel
down to brass tacks.'

OFFICIAL CENSUS
Of COUNTY 1857

The official census figures for
1920 give Powder River county q
population Of 1857. That there were
many people of this county who
were not counted in the enumeration
Is seen by q comparison with the
election figures. The total vote cast
in the county seat contest was 1,445
and on the customary ratio Of four
people to every voter, this would
give the county a population OF near
ly 5000.
The enumeration of people In this
county last spring was taken with
the greatest difficulty. The roads
we're impossible q greater portion Of
the time and often the enumerator
would have to travel for many miles
to list a single family, only to find
them absent at the time. Sometimes
it was impossible to get their names
and the required information and
sometimes it was impossible for the
enumeratOr to reach families in in
accessible and remote places.

LOCAL PARTIES HAVE INTEREST
IN WE'LL ON THOMPSON CREEK

A. Montgomery and C. w. Bryan
hold one-thirtieth interest in the
Pahasapa Oil company which en-
countered a slrong gas and oil mix
ture in the shale on Thompson
creek, 60 miles southeast of Broad
us. The gas pressure was so strong
that it caved the we'll to such an ey-
tent that it has been necessary to
send for an under-reamer SO that
the we'll can be cased the entire
depth of $50 feet. At this time the
we'll is-only cased to depth of 500
feet.
Geologist Henly, who has charge
OF the drilling operations, gives il as
his opinion that there no question
but that the Pahasapa company will
bring in an oil we'll on this property

flow will be struck. lies only about
