snapped Glass and as he resumed he
mumbled his words so they sounded
like jargon and he had difficulty in
again getting under way.
He recovered in a moment, how
ever. and snapped his phrases at the
Republicans as if they were actual
blows with whiplash.
League Plank AppIauded.
A great burst of applause cut into
! GLASS; declaration that the Demo-
cratic party demanded ratification of
that portion of the plank which said
the party did not object to certain
reservations. So Glass repeated it,
that there might be no misapprehen-
sion.
At the conclusion of the league
plank, Gless stepped back, spread out
his arms and cried:
$50 much for the League of Ma
TONS with nod of satisfaction.
My voice has been impaired" he
remarked as the cheering dwindled,
"by fighting for the plank" He was
cheered. When Glass read the plank
expressing thanks to the nations
fighting men in the war, he paused
momentarily after the words soldiers
and sailors and added marines.
The marines had been inadvertently
left out of the original text.

GLASS; hand trembled violently as
he rested it for a moment on the read
ing desk. His voice became more
throaty and ragged, and sometimes
broke He saved his voice, chopping
his sentences off short when the ap-
plause obliterated his words, instead

Reading thrust at the Republican
congress for allegedly refusing arbi-

long string of figures beginning with
billions and ending in thirty cents.
And they wouldn't even lop off the

There was applause as Glass launch

THE MONTANA PLAN
FIRE PREVENTION
Gives Hearty Approval to Gov.
ernor Stewards Call for For
est Protection.
By y {. Y. BRYANT.

Washington, May 22.-Hearty ap-
proval is given by the United States for
est service to the plan of the governor
of Montana to have the people observe a
forest protection week this spring Gov
ernors of nine other western states have
either issued, or intend to issue, proc
lamations for observance of such a week.
1.-The new movement" an official of
the forest service said, lis unprecedented
in this country and will be of much i'm
portance in safeguarding the nations for
ests and spreading the demand for their
better protection. The west is now gen.
orally alive to the importance Of keeping
fire out of the woods. This is partly be-
cause of the great value of the present
stand OF timber, but it is also because of
growing recognition Of the Importance of
permanent forests and stable industries
"a large proportion of the fires which
have in recent years caused the loss of
hundreds Of millions of feet of timber
in the west are man-caused and prevent
able This fact has stimulated a deter
mination to cut down the number Of fires.
In aggressive action the west has, on the
whole, decidedly taken the lead over the
east, where, in many states, little effort
is made to protect the forests against
fires"

gists report is favorable.
For the past several weeks the work
of securing leases has been in progress,
embracing land both north and south of
Milk river, and this week +. NJ. Burke,
cashier of the Farmers National bank,
filed leases to about 10000 acres north
of Chinook from North Fork to the Hol-
landville settlement. He is acting as
trustee for number of Chinook men
of which he is a member. Others in
terested in the enterprise are Frank
Browne, Ira S. Harbolt, Gilman Nc
kinnie and Frank ID. Ovesen.
A. l.. Ritt, cashier of the Havre Ma
tional bank. has also filed a number of
leases on land in the northwestern part
of Blaine county. Mr.. Ritt is acting
for the Original Oil company. which also
has a block of leases in the northeastern
and northwestern parts of Hill county.
Geologist Campbell. who located the
Roundup oil field, has already passed
upon the structure northwest of Havre,
and pronounces it equally as promising
as the Roundup field.
Acting upon the favorable report of
Mr.. Campbell and other geologists. the
Original Oil company is selling stock and
making preparations for drilling at a
location about 20 miles northwest of
Havre
E. T. Lupton, the geologist who To-
Gated the wells for the Frantz corpora
tion in Fergus county, was here several
days last week, looking over the land
leased north Of Chinook, and favor
able report by him will no doubt result
in some company comiLg here to drill

FINANCIAL DIGEST
By THE TRIBUNE
THE WEEK IN BUSINESS

No time since the world war started
in 1914 has the depressing effects been
so noticeable on the stock and money
markets as last week. New low records
were scored by many stocks and bonds.
chief among the latter being the liberty
issues of the United States government
which dropped until the entire series
stood at about 95 or, ,/ler. In the face
of this situation. old issues of govern
Inent bonds remained unchanged. al
though the interest return is materially
smaller Singularly enough, exchange
rates, measured by the English pound
sterling continued on an even keel
throughout the week and changed only
by couple of cents between the high
est and the lowest in demand and cable
rates from Monday until Saturday.
Call Money Steady.
Call money rates were quotably
steady. ranging from to s per cent
with the ruling rate playing about the
Z per cent mark, but the banks contln-
ued to discourage everything but the
most substantial and necessary invest
ments. reflecting thereby the policy. OF
the Federal Reserve board which has
set about to help bring credit deflation
and through it lower costs in the neces-
saries of life. Press reports from many
sections told of realization of the pur-
pose in decreased costs of such articles
as clothing and foodstuffs. the reported
decreases ranging all the way from l0
to 40 per cent. Locally. no such changes
were reported and nothing except sea-
sonal sales have affected the price mark
ings of the local stores.
Traffic Is Hindered.
Furthermore. merchants of this sec
ton declare that with the jobbers insist
ing on the pricse which now prevail, any
attempt to slaughter prices would not be
inviting financial loss. but would create
more aggravated situation when they
had to restore the prices required to
conduct their business on a safe and
profit returning basis.
The outlaw strike. although declared
failure and in reality lacking the back
ing of the legitimate union organizations,
still continues to hold the traffic sit
uation in a paralyzing grip through the
central portions of the country. In this
section. there is no hindrance from strike
activities. but the effect is most strik-
ingly seen in the great slump of freight
from the east. 1t has decreased the
freight from that section fully 80 per
cent and some lines of goods are not
coming at all, the points where they
originate being reported as so congested
be cause Of the strike that it is impos-
sible yet to get shipments sent out
Metal Market Sluggish.
In the metal market the past week
was one of sluggishness and the price
of silver was pegged throughout the
week exactly as it closed the previous
week. 99& cents an ounce.
Corn prices softened few cents. May

PENNSYLVANIA OFFERING

advertising the sale on June % of sls,-

This is the largest offering of state

No announcement as to why the state
considers this favorable opportunity
to attempt the flotation of such large
issue accompanies the sale. Between
now and June % conditions may be
considerably improved, but the concen-
sus of opinion in bond circles is not en-
couraging. We have received reports
from number of municipalities that
no bids had been submitted for their
bonds.
Sale In Utah.
A week ago today, Utah county,
Utah. sold 100000 IS to a New York
syndicate on a 6.27 per cent basis. This
was one of the largest municipal sales
consummated in week or so and is an
interesting indication of what bond
dealers are doing in municipals. Those
few houses which are not devoting ali
their attention to selling issues already
bought and paid for are bidding only on
bonds which may be put out at extreme
ly attractive prices. Competition among
dealers has almost disappeared and buy
ers are naming their own prices for any
issues that offer possibility of being
turned over quickly.
AS conditions are at present there is
only one constructive thing for state and
cities to do. That is to withdraw their
bond offering from the market and alb
solutely stop the offering of any new
issues. except where it is imperative
to raise money and all temporary means
of doing so have failed
