TALLMAN THINKS DANGER
FROM FLOODS Is OYEf

A. " Tallman who recently re-
turned from trip to the coast cities.
has been busy since, as water master
OF the Boise river, In looking after
the flood waters. He says the worst
is over, and that there should not be
trouble from now on. One reason is
that the farmers will quickly use the
surplus flow on their crops. This
week irrigation started in earnest,
notwithstanding the ground had been
soaked by the recent rains. The hot
sun has a way in Idaho of soon dry
ing up the land, after rain, and eX-
perts claim the best time to irrigate
is during or just after Is rain. Also
when the first irrigation is put on,
the earth will soak up an enormous
amount of water. which would run
off If put on in a similar way in the
late summer.
Speaking of his trip, to the coast.
Mr.. Tallman says the coast cities are
in better shape than he expected, and
that great deal of building is going
on in Portland Seattle, however,
seems to be experiencing hard times,
from the fact that the Alaskan trade
Is not as good as usual.
He says here is no place in the
northwest better able to handle the
pinch" OF the hard times just now
than the Boise valley in Idaho.

OF HONEY FROM
MERIDIAN TO EUROPE

A carload OF honey was loaded and
started on the way 20 Edinburgh,
scotland, this week. The honey was
strained and In small cans. Most OF it
was from the Atwater apiary In MGR
idian and the carload consists of
10000 pounds OF the best honey in
the world. The market at home has
not been brisk, OF late. and an effort
will be made to secure more orders
from abroad, which is probable after
the trade makes a test OF the quality
of the Idaho IToduct. This is the
first carload to go abroad from Merid-
ian, although there have been pre-
ytons shipments OF small emount.

to Great Falls boys who keep in touch
daily with current affairs by radio.
Harry Deen, 827 Eighth avenue

pick up radio telegraph and telephone
messages from many points in the
middle west, as far south as Florida,
all along the Pacific coast, and from
ships off the Pacific coast mainland.
Listen to Denver. &
The boys pick up interesting infor-
nation from radiophone stations and
listen in on musical concerts that are
sent out two or three times week by
the Reynolds Radio company at Den

the prettiest music in the world So

Comment on Testimony
Comment on this testimony by
Justice Cooper is as follows: 1sThis
testimony shows benevolent attitude,
rarely exhibited by one person to an
other having no ties of blood or kin
ship. Upon the record at the close
of the evidence the court should have
given the peremptory instructions re-
quested by the defendant to find
verdict in his favor"
lie case VI J. tGCl 4AdluOolioy uS du
ministrator of the estate of George
d, Skarpas, against the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul railway company,
appellant, was affirmed by the court.
Skarpas died in 1915 after an accident
on train at Vendome. Mont. He was
track worker for the company and
If was alleged that the train backed
into him. A judgment of $4,000 was
rendered against the railroad COM
pany.
The decision Of the lower court was
affirmed in the case of G. p. Frost,
T.. J. .Nordhemi, Robert Snow, and II.
B. DeForrest against the Montana
public utilities commission. The pub
lie service commission appealed from
a ruling of the district court of Ra-
valli county which held that the state
board had no power to regulate con-
tracts and rates of the Ravalll Water
company. The water company claimed
it was not a public utility, but was a
cooperative water project. The low
er court granted a writ of prohibition
staying all proceedings by the state
board
Affirmed
The case of Anna Danielson against
David Danielson, appellant, was af-
firmed She obtained a decree of di-
vorce in the district court Of Phillips
county. He moved to vacate default
Judgment. He claimed that the ac-
ton had been begun in the wrong
county and that it should have been
started in Teton county. The couple
lived at Dutton. it was claimed.
The court reversed the decision of
the lower court in the case Of the
state Of Montana against NJ. Wilson.
Wilson, rancher in McCone county.
was convicted of assault ou Arthur
Calder. Tt was alleged that Wilson
had attacked Colder because he be-
liered the latter had taken stock that
did not belong to him. Wilson was
sentenced to serve not less than two
years and six months and not more
than five years in prison.

Butte Slayer Must.
Hang Is Decision
Of Supreme Court

Helena, Dec 24-Assad Juhray,
convicted of the murder of Hugh J.
Gibson, of Butte, must hang, accord
ing to pronouncement Saturday of the
supreme court which denied the ac-
cused man a rehearing of his case.
The higher court recently affirmed
Juhray's conviction in the lower court.
Juhray, according to the evidence,
killed Gibson during a fight over the
latter's wife. Mrs. Gibson testified
that on the night of the murder,
Juhray came to the Gibson home and
choked and mistreated her. When the
husband entered and found Juhray
present the fight ensued in which Glib
son lost his life. .Juhray also fired
at Mrs. Gibson, wounding her, it was

be taken exclusively in charge By the
prison board,' he stated. when this
is done the board will make al in
vestigation and order hearing, giving
Mr.. Macdonald an opportunity to
prove the assertions in his recently
published report, and Mr.. Coney a
chance to refute them. IT, at the
prison board hearing, it is found that
the former warden misapproprated
state funds or state property. court
action will follow. If the charges are
without basis, it will be SO declared
in the boards report"
How about the reported differ
ences between yourself and Governor
Dixon?" he was asked. is it true
that bitterness exists between you
and the governor
THE fact is Mr.. Rankin replied,
that the warmest personal friend
ship exists between the governor and
myself. but in some official matters
there is an honest difference of opin-
ion. These differences have, ! sup
pose, given rise to the reports that
are current. but there has positively
been no interruption of our friendship
in personal way
DR.. Lanstrum was the republican
candidate for United States senator in
1918. when he was defeated by Sena
tor L. j. Walsh, the democratic nom
inee. Dr. Lanstrum S candidacy, it
was declared at the time. was vigor-
ously opposed by Mr.. Edwards, who
lost the nomination in 1916 to Charles

the conversation plainly. A garage
man on the island ordered parts for a
flivver and 'baWled OUT the manager
OF the Ford assembling plant at San
Diego for his delay in sending the
parts. This conversation was good.
Waste No Time
d The people of southern California
use the radiophones for commercial
purposes and waste no time discussing
trivialities just for the novelty Of
talking, the boys say.
Deen recently listened in on a lec-
ture that was delivered to patients in
the United States government hospital
No. z at Denver. The address could
be heard as plainly as though the man
were standing in his station.
There is much visiting between am
ateurs who operate radio telegraph
and telephone sets and occasionally
semi private conversation is heard
that sets new pace in the gossip
world. All is free that comes through
the air, the boys aver, and if you have
something to tell the world" just get
a radiophone and commence to talk.
And if what you say is good enough,
some of the lads will relay your mes
sages to points all over the country.
Gets School News
Messages are exchanged between
the city stations and with other sta
tions in Montana and Idaho by the
Great Falls boys. Elton picks up
high school news from several other
schools in Montana and from the high
school at Boise, Idaho.

Old rivals TO Be OPPOSED
FOR SENATOR, SAYS RANKIN
Attorney General States He Knows Lanstrum
and Edwards Will Be Candidates; Prison
Board Will Hear Conley Matter.

That two republicans, each of whom
has encountered the others personal
opposition when he ran for the United
States senate before, will be primary
candidates in 1922 for nomination to
that office. is the assertion of Attor-
ney General Wellington D. Rankin,
who was in Great Falls Saturday while
en- route to Kalispell, where he will
spend Christmas. 1t is conclusively
known, the attorney general said, that
DIR. o. NJ. Lanstrum, publisher of the
Montana Record, Herald, and Major J.
+. Edwards of Rosebud county, will be
opposed in the race for the privilege
of representing their party in the next
senatorial election.
Edwards Has Said So
Mr. Edwards has told me. person
ally, that he intends to ask for the
States senator" said Mr. Rankin at
the Park hotel, and "and | have the
impression that he would say the same
thing to anybody who asked him. Dr.
l.anstrum has not told me SO himself
that he will be candidate. but his
brother, Chairman George w. Ian
strum of the state highway commits
sion, has declared to me that the doc
tor will without question be in the
race.
Asked concerning the report that he
will himself be primary candidate for
United States senator. Mr. Rankin
said he had given the matter no
thought.
Il have been altogether too busy
with the affairs Of my office to even
think about running for United States
senator" be answered. Congressman
Carl Riddick. he stated. is not likely
TO be senatorial candidate so long
as Mr.. Edwards is on the republican
ticket. Mr.. Rankin said he based the
assertion on statements said to have
been made to prominent republicans
hy Mr.. Riddick.
Four Democrats.
Talk among men who interest
themselves in politics is that there
may be at least four democrats out
for the senatorial nomination, he con
tiDued These are John NJ. Evans,
former congressman from the First
district; Tom Stout, former congress
man from the Second district; Sepa-
tor Henry l.. Myers and 3. n Wheel
er. although it is probable that Wheel
er will get into the race only in the
date to succeed himself. 1t naturally
follows, however, that my Information
concerning prospective democratic
candidates is not so definite as it is
with reference to men within my own
party"
The attorney general expressed his
opinion, as single member of the
state prison board. that circumstances
affecting the Macdonald report on the
administration of Frank Conley, form
er- warden Of the state penitentiary,
will undoubtedly shape themselves SO
as to place any further action solely in
the hands of the board. This. he stat
cd would relieve the special investi-
eating committee of any further con
sideration of the matter

WANTS HIGHWAY
TO OHELENAOVER
BIRD TAIL ROAD
Will Circulate Petition for Inn
pr0vement of Historic
Road.

a petition which has as It's object
the appropriation of a portion Of the
county's road fund for the improve
ment Of the Bird Tail road between
Great Falls and Helena and ultimately
to cause that road to be recognized Al
the established route between the two
cities has been prepared for circula-
ton by W. G. Jones, 518 Fifth avenue
south, and will later be presented to
the board Of county commissioners II
q satisfactory number of signatures are
attached.
In urging the Improvement Of the
Bird Tail road, Mr.. Jones, who has
been a resident Of the county for near
ly 40 years, asserts that the route Is
not only free from abrupt grades but
is the shortest line of travel between
Great Falls. The present road to
Helena, according to Mr.. Jones, In
wolves distance Of 115 miles and
passes over Sullivan hill, while the
ard avoids the Sullivan hill grade.
Other reasons advanced in the petit
ton for the improvement of the road
point out the route passes through
settled country, is the most direct line
between Helena and this city, involves
no expense for bridges and culverts,
is graded for a considerable distance
and is already gravelled for distance
Of q miles, between Great Falls and
Sun River town. Other virtues of the
route, according to the petition, is that
it places Great Falls in direct COM
munication with Dearborn valley.
Mr. Jones estimates that the Bird
Tail road can be placed in first class
condition through the expenditure of
$4,000.

PARIS GIVES
INSURANCE TO
100 employees
Management Presents Policies
When Store Closes for
Christmas Holiday.

After the doors of the Paris store
had closed Saturday night for the
holidays, every employe who has been
with the store for year or more was
given a paid-up insurance policy as a
Christmas present from the manage
ment: Approximately 100 policies were
distributed, ranging in amount from
$500 to $1,000, according to the length
OF the recipients employment.
Add $500 Each Year
Employees who have been with the
store but one year received a policy
for $500, and 500 was added for each
additional year any person has been
with the firm. Hereafter, 500 will be
added to the policies for each year of
service until policy of $4,000 is
created, it was announced by Fred A.
Fligman, president of sthe company, in
are issued under what is termed the
group plan, which is said to be intro
duced by the Paris store now for the
first time in Great Falls.
The policies provide for double in
demnity in case of violent death, sick
benefits and accident insurance. The
holder names his or her own benefi-
clary, submits to no medical examina-
ton and is insured without considera-
ton of his or her age. While the en-
ploye remains with the store the an.
nual premiums are paid by the en-
ployers, and if a policy holder leaves
the concern provision is made for con-
tinuing it by the holder if he so de-
sires.
Mr. Singer Approves Plan
For some time prior to the death
of S. S. Singer. the former president
of the firm, we discussed the group
plan of insurance for our employees"
said Mr.. Fligman, ''but the plan was
not worked out until now. We believe
it is one of the finest Christmas gifts
