We cannot but sympathize with the
sturdy lads of the Cathedral High
School in Burlington whom an unfair
ruling has barred from participation in
the New England basketball champion
ship games at Tufts. The public high
school of Montpelier, handily defeated
on the gymnasium court by their paro-
chial schoolfellows, will represent Yer
mont in the big games. The state
member of the committee to select
the best teams for these contests is
reported as being appreciative of the
superiority OF the Cathedral school
boys over the other basketball quin-
tets in Vermont. The rules of the
championship series, however, elimi-
nate all parochial schools. But what
can be the reason?

Good Crop Promise Will Renew
Influx Of. Settlers, Believes
E. C. Leedy.

Crop conditions throughout the
northwest are better this year than
they have been for a long time and
indications are that numerous people
will seek to establish themselves in
Montana and other western states IN
the coming year. e. C. Leedy general
agricultural development agent of the
Great Northern with headquarters in
st. Paul, arrived in Great Falls Thurs
day, looking over the crop conditions
throughout the western territory and
were greatly impressed with the out
look for good crop this year.
Crop Prospects Never Better.
Things have never looked better
stated Mr.. Leedy. Minnesota, North
Dakota and Montana look wonderful
and it is safe to say that they have
not looked 50 good for years. Farm
ers Of Montana must be given credit
for suffering the failures they have
experienced in past years but it looks
as though they will get their reward
this year Coming through northern
Montana the prospects seem to be the
best Around Choteau they are as
good as they could be and the same
is true Of the neighboring districts
Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceived at st. Paul regarding the con-
ditions in Montana and it appears that
there will be large immigration to
the Montana districts within a very
short time. The farmers throughout
the middle west. both land owners and
renters, have come to the conclusion
that there is nothing in trying to ham
die high-priced farm land when there
is a prospect of cheaper farming land
10 4fh v,1o 1v,dt h0f
there will be movement to the cheap
er farming territories afforded in the
west and the majority Of our inquiries
ask about the prospects in Montana"
Inquiries as to Oh.
'"The purpose of our trip is to give
the travelling agricultural development
agents an inspiration in their work,
and l am sure that we have found it
in this trip. We could not have picked
a better time, and inquiries regarding
Montana land and farming prospects
will be easy to answer
Many inquiries are received. asking
Of oil conditions throughout Montana,
object of their trip through the west
is to inspect the farming conditions.
Their purpose in viewing the oil con-
ditions is to acquaint the many who
inquire with the real situation.
In the party with Mr.. Leedy were
the following travelling agricultural
development agents: w. S. Weber.

William Blonder, st. Paul; Charles d.

lion of visiting the Judith Basin dis
trict, expecting to go to Lewistown

Mr.. Bailey came to Montana in 1870

Mr.. Bailey and his partner were
transporting a small cargo of whisky
from Rocky Point landing on the Mis-
souri, to Canadian Pacific construc-
ton crew at work near the boundary
line. The Canadian Pacific was then
being built across the continent.
Mr.. Bailey relates that the Indians
were in an ugly mood and decreed that
the prisoners be put to death during
the evening of the third day after
their capture. Word of the plight OF
Bailey and his partner reached Thomas
O'Hanlon, who conducted trading
post near Fort Belknap, and at O'Han-
Ions urgent request officers in charge

soldiers to the scene and the prisoners

SHIPPERS TO FIGHT
NEW RATE SCHEME
Abrcgation of Long and Short
Haul Clause Feared by
Midwest Concerns.

A move by the intermediate Rate
association, composed of western and
midwestern concerns interested in rail-
road tariffs, against the supposed eff
fort Of transcontinental systems to
make imperative the long and short
haul clause of the interstate commerce
act has been made without the inter-
state commerce commission being ad-
vised that such action is contemplated
by the roads, according to information
furnished to the Great Falls CONNER
cial club by Secretary C. B. McGinty
of the commission.
The intermediate Rate commission
has called a meeting of interested ship
ers. to be held at Salt Lake City. June
IL, to combat the reported intentions
Of the roads and much attention has
been attracted over the west. The
Commercial club communicated direct
with Secretary McGinty. and in a reply
received Saturday it was stated that
the transcontinental roads have made
no application for permission to make
the change.
The supposed intentions Of the roads
is to reduce rates on shipments from
the eastern territory to Pacific coast
terminals without making correspond
ing reductions to intermediate points
If such plan we're to be carried out
the long and short haul clause Of the
interstate commerce act would be dis
regarded. Thus far, the intermediate
Rate association has referred to the
matter as threat" by the roads to
apply for permission to discriminate
between transcontinental and interme
date shipments. 1t is reported to be
generally understood that an applica-
ton had been filed with the interstate
commerce commission.
