Lord Salisbury's government, 1T
was understood, with the possible
exception of his secretary of state for
India, was favorable. Balfour's
speech of March IL, 1896, and not
the chancellor of the exchequer, were
accepted at Washington as positively
pledging the governments of England
and India.
AT the last moment that govern
ment, by its mouthpiece, Elgin, point
blank refused the great offer of this
great league of nations united for
a great purpose.
Senator Thomas
"At Washington recently, in a SEN
ate speech of historic interest, listen
to with entire sympathy, Senator.
Thomas of Colorado proposed that
the United States should take up
Wolcott's work for the International
settlement of this exchange problem
where he left it in 1897.
I'VE are likely, therefore, to know
in exchange matters our
world still learns nothing and for
gets everything But whatever the
world does or does not do, rely upon
it, silver is begged at SIS.
THUS there is no longer a silver
question, but a gold question: en-
phatically yes! And never was fl
nance in greater danger than through
persistent gold drain to India,
which India officialdom, and not the
of the natives, perseveres in.
THE western world demands gold,
orient demands silver. Then why
not restore Calonne's French mint

HUNT BEAR WITH
BOW AND ARROW
MAN WITH HIGH POWER RIFLE
SAVES FOOLISH ARCHERS
IN YELLOWSTONE
San Francisco Disciples of Ancient
Sport, in Attempting to Kill Griz-
ely Bear With Primitive Weapons,
Almost Come to Grief; Guide Saves
Them.

AS an archery sport, hunting griz-
lies may tickle the fancy. 1t may APP
peal to ones idea of the daring and
bizarre. 1t might even suit the taste
of one contemplating suicide.
But when it comes to a question of
discretion, well, ask three brave war
riors who started out for grizzlies in
Yellowstone park armed with a full
equipment of bows and arrows.
1t was a scientific" expedition.
Permission for it was gained through
the California academy of science,
which wanted the trophies for it's in
stitution. The archers were quite
confident.
Many old hunters we're heard to
express skepticism and when a dis
patch arrived telling that the hunt
had been successful, they scratched
their heads and wondered. One was
heard to say that the grizzly must be
becoming effete through contact with
too much civilization.
Better Have a Rifle
1t is said the intrepid hunters are
now advising those who try the stunt
in the future to ride in a high-power-
ed car for a quick get-away+or else
have a guide with a rifle and an eagle
eye.
It was the latter that saved the
lives of the Archers Three and their
companions.
According to the story as told
at Sylvan Pass and borne out by Of
fetal guides, the party of hunters
came on a mother grizzly and her
ers succeeded in killing the cub. An
arrow whanged at the mother, and
the mother shook herself and came
toward the party.
Caught Breath Again
She came fast. The archers had
no time to draw their bows. Just
as the bear was about to climb the
of the hunters, Ned Frost, IA
nous guide, level his rifle and a hand
to hand combat with the bear was
prevented. And the archers event
began to breathe again. Frost,
when asked to accompany the party,
said that he must be permitted to
AXE his rifle. Memories of a single
encounter with a grizzly re-
NAMED with him. Frost said that
he arrows would kill a grizzly but he
lid not think they would stop one
Iuick enough. He declared he had
nown to bear to come 20 yards with
bullet in his heart.
The arrows used on the hunt have
harp steel points and are a little

lization were in evidence as late as
the 70's, but now have entirely dis
appeared. The beautiful view of the
three forks of the Missouri shown
above was taken by A. Schlechten of
Bozeman, one of the leading scenic
photographers of the west. 1t shows
the spot where Sacajawea, the Indian
Bird Woman" who guided the
Lewis and Clark party westward from
the Dakotas, climbed for a survey of
the country, and then declared that
she recognized the passes through
the distant mountains westward
through which she had been brought
a captive in childhood, when she was
stolen from her people by an enemy
tribe. The river followed westward
by Lewis and Clark was the Jeffer-
son, on the right in the picture. The

There are few points of historic in
terest in Montana that are more nota-
BILE than Three Forks, where the
junction of the Gallatin, the Jeffer-
son and the Madison forms the
mighty Missouri, which flows 1850
miles to the Gulf of Mexico and with
the Mississippi forms the longest
river in the world. AS early as 1909
the American Fur Company built a
trading fort near where the town of
Three Forks stands today for the
purpose of trading with the Black
feet. The site had been suggested
for a trading post by Lewis and Clark
when they camped there in 1904, and
the ruins of this old outpost of civil

SILVER SHOULD
GO TO A DOLLAR
MONTANA PRODUCERS SAY PITT
MAN ACT CERTAIN TO
MAINTAIN PRICE
Under This Law Director of the Mint
Must Purchase 2O7 Million Ounces
at One Dollar; Opinion Is That the
Price Will Advance From Present
Levels.

Silver producers of the Butte dis
trict have given considerable study
| of late to the Pittman act, under
which it is mandatory upon the dir
ector of minis to purchase 100000
900 ounces aggregate at 81 per
1000 fine.
Under the terms of the Pittman
act the silver purchased by the mint
must be the product of mines located
in the United States and of reduc-
ton works in the United States.
Clear and u~nequivocal proof must be
furnished by the producer to this eff
feet. Form for affidavit to estab-
fish proof of production and milling
or smelling is contained in the Pitt
man act.
Price to Rise
It is the consensus of opinion Of
Montana producers that silver will be
a dollar as soon as the effect of the
Pittman act is felt. The 207 600
ounces purchasable by the govern
ment under the act is equivalent to
four or five years supply from the
American mines and as a conSe-
quence the stability of the silver in
dustry is assured for at least that
length of time.
That no fears need be entertained
for many years is the opinion of men
in touch with the white metal indus
try. In this connection the opinion
of a British expert is pertinent. In
the article printed in the London
Telegraph Sir Morton Frewen de-
clares for bi-metalism, and expresses
+hA Lo1s1e 4l1+ d;IrN, mill nAt call Tn-I
der five shillings in future years.
The article follows:
Silver will never drop below
price of five shillings again, accord
ing to Sir Morton Frewen, the dis
tinguished British authority on fin
ance, who, in a recent article in the
London Telegraph, says:
GAS to the real silver problem, that
problem is now in a n settled. No
dwe1ler on this planet will eve again
see silver lower than five shillings an
ounce (the French mint ratio of 1916
to 1, and 5s silver, as it e~ventuates,
will be found to have automatically
reconstructed the worlds exchanges.
Until the very last moment, and to
the allies infinite undoing, the gov
eminent of India tied down it's ru-
pee exchange and sat on the safety
INSTEAD of letting their exchange
go freely to 10 rupees to the sover-
eign (pound sterling), that govern
ment, by every means in its power,
endeavored to hold it down to 16d,
then to 18d, then to god. Why did
do it? What were the reasons?
The whole world a wear from now
will be shouting this question.
u. S. Commission
Elm 1897 President Mckinley sent
he Wolcott commission to sound
treat Britain and France, the two
countries chiefly concerned for the
rehabilitation of silver. The Ameri-
an government offered to open the
hints at 1875 to 1 if France would
10 the same and if England would
eopen the Indian minis and coin as
before 1893 an honest rupee.

town, their hospitality to visitors and
their progressiyeness in developing

SOW WHEAT

Il
In times like these, when the cot
ton trade has reached such condi-
ton that all buyers withdraw from
the market, it is the farmer who has
his own living at home that finds It
easiest To look to the future with
confidence.
Wheat as money crop does not
promise very big returns, but when
figured in the regular rotation Of
crops It has a place which nothing
else can occupy, and when you look
over the county and count the men
who have raised wheat regularly
during the past 30 years you will
find that their farms are in good
condition and that they are the most
prosperous farmers we have.
You can get plenty Of good seed
from the Covirgton Milling Co. at a
fair price, and wheat can be sown any
time during the next six weeks with
an assurance Of fair crop.
The lespedeza land can be disced,
subsoiled and sown. or you can pick
over your cotton field and by running
a turning plow shallow close to the
stalks make a splendid seed bed and
plant wheat right away, covering
same and leveling the land with a
five-tooth cultivator or harrow.
Then, after all the cotton is picked,
You can cut the stalks down. In
All plans Of planting you should fol-
low with. red clover or lespedeza,
sown in the late winter or early
spring.
