HORTON COMES
HERE TO WRITE
WESTERN NOVEL
Former Local Newspaper Man
Is Recognized Contributor
to Magazines.

Robert J. Horton. one time news
paper man who formerly did The Trib-
une's sports page under the pen name
of ''Sporticus," but who has abandon
ed fbe midnight toll for place in the
sun as "A contributor to several of the
popular magazines. has returned to
Great Falls from New York to COM
plete the work on what he anticipates
as his greatest western story. He ex
poets TO devote the greater portion of
the next three months to the novel.
Three Stories in Films
Since his entry into magazine work.
Mr.. Horizons stories have come to
have an established place in the realm
of fiction. His stories frequently take
the front position in Munsey's, West
err Story and the Adventure maya
zines and since his last departure from
Great Falls the Fox Film company has
purchased the picture rights to When
the Law Came to Singing River" one
of the Horton stories which has at
tracted wide attention. Two Of his
other stories. Clean Waters" and

something of roamer, and to his
wanderlust can probably be traced his
first successful attempt to write fic-
ton. He dropped into FL Paso, Texas,
one night several years ago and re-
sponded to an urge to write by produc-
ing a yarn which he mailed to Mum
sey's. The days passed and no
acknowledgement came, and he could
not wait. From Kansas City he sug
gested to the magazine that he was at
least entitled to the courtesy of re-
lection slip, which brought the infor-
nation that a check had been mailed
for his story. Eventually it caught up
with him.
Seven Stories Rejected
Enthused with the success of his
first venture, Mr. Horton forthwith
wrote seven more stories, and mailed
them in calm confidence of their avail
ability. Every one was rejected. Then
followed the struggle, and the hard
work, which has won for him univer-
sal Reorganization as writer of west
ern stories. The setting for several
of his novels were in the Little Belt
mountains, near Monarch, and quite
general in his writings are local de-
scriptions which many Great Falls
people recognize.
Mr.. Horton left Great Falls about
six months ago and until his return
was in New York and other eastern
cities.

; Fargo, N. D., June 3.-State head

resolutions adopted at session of
the executive committee in Bismarck,
opposing and condemning efforts of
certain milling interests in trying to
get the right to use Canadian wheat

In adopting the resolutions, the ex-
ecutive committee held that the pro-
posed tari6 law, being considered by
congress. is against the interests OF
agriculture in North Dakota, and that
such law would tend to put the
prices on wheat in North Dakota on q
par with prices in Canada, and be one
more step toward driving North Dako.

1t is estimated by members of the
