'BEHOLD MY Wife, !
ONE OF THE FINEST
FILMS OF THE YEAR

Hailed by the critics and motion
picture public as one of the finest pro-
ductions of the current season, George
Melford's "Behold My Wife!" is COM
ing to the Orpheum Theatre for two
days commencing Sunday. The story
was adapted from Sir Gilbert Parker's
novel of the Canadian Northwest,
"The Translation of a Savage"
The central characters are the aris-
tocratic son of an English family and
the simple Indian girl whom he en-
counters in Canada while he is on busi-
ness for the Hudson's Bay Company.
Receiving word from his fiancee back
in England that she has broken with
him because of his family's objection
to their marriage, the youth, in a fit
Of rage, marries the Indian girl and
sends her back to England as his wife
to disgrace his blue-blooded sires.
Then he proceeds to hit thetoboggan
in his own way. However, dramatic
events work transformation in both
the young Englishman and his bride
and the ending is happy one.
"Behold My Wife!" has been filmed
against a background of snow-capped
mountain peaks, bleak Canadian trad
ing posts, and luxurious English coun-
try homes. The action is interpreted
by distinguished cast including Ma
bel Julienne Scott, Elliott Dexter, Mil
ton Sills, and Ann Forrest. Frank
Condor adapted the story to the screen

The movement springs from an an

held at that city in 1925.
The aim of the Portland worlds fair
will be to commemorate the linking of

GREAT NORTHERN
TO ELECTRIFY
Transformation from Steam to
Electricity to Take Place
Very Soon.
MONTANA'S OPPORTUNITIES
Review of Roads History Shows Much
Development in This State Since
1887 When G.. n. First Laid
Rails for Their Line Here.

Definite plans for electrification of
all Great Northern lines in Montana
are declared to have been adopted
and it is expected that the trans
formation from steam to electric
power will be made within the next
few years, officials announced yester-
day.
With the construction of a power
plant at Lake Chelan in the state of
Washington at cost of 81 100000,
electrification of all Great Northern
lines in Washington will begin this
spring it is said. Work on the Mon
tana lines will then be undertaken,
after which, it is expected, the cleo
trification will be extended eastward.
The Great Northern railway is one
of the four transcontinental lines
which have contributed to the develop
ment of Montana.
Great possibilities Of Montana were
foreseen by James j. Hill, the found
er of the Great Northern railways
in the early sos, when the transcon-
tinental line was planned.
When Mr. Hill resigned from the
chairmanship Of the board of directors,
ne gave historical sketch OF the
railroad and said the following of
Montana: "The West was being set
tied rapidly. Railroad construction
permitted of a line with grades as to
make possible cheaper overland car
riage than had ever been previously
considered.
Montana was beginning large
development of her own while the
active growth of the North Pacific
coast, though only in embryo, could
be foreseen. In 1887 the lines of the
Manitoba were extended to connec-
tion with the Montana Central This
latter company had been incorporated
arly in January, 1886.

legislature, made public tonight. urges
that all factions "throw politics to the
winds"
"Under the present law the indus
tries have been run by the employees

same as the ridiculous Plumb Plan
of running railroads. The federal re-
serve banks have a model foundation
and you may easily give a similar
foundation to the state bank and
state industries.
"Since 1918, the taxes have been
marked up more than three fold. This
is the main cause of the trouble.

insurance is five time the sum neces-

FARM MARKETING BILL
HAS BEEN DRAFTED
S. NJ. Wards Plan to Organize Bonded
Districts viii Go Before the Ses-
sion for Discussion.

Helena, Jan. 6.-Much interest is
being evidenced by Montana farm or
ganizations in a measure that has been
drafted by S. M. Ward of Hamilton
to afford a foundation for cooperative
marketing of farm products.
Briefly, Mr.. Wards bill will enable
farm communities to organize agricul-
tural marketing districts, as irrigation
and drainage districts are now organ
lied. The districts will be bonded and
the process of the bond sale made
available to the farmers of that dis
trict for the building of warehouses or
to be utilized in the establishment of
any other piece Of marketing machin-
cry.
Mr.. Ward points out that his plan
differs radically from that Of the Nom
partisan league; under his plan the
farmers will finance themselves, under
the N. P. L. plan the state is expected
to do the financing.
eve plan for the rural communities, !"
said Mr.. Ward, ''to figure out tbs own
problem and organize for what d
problem and organize itself for what
ever purpose it desires on a COM
petitive basis with other communities.
In business sense, every industry
should stand on it's own merits, but it
has been so difficult for the farmer
to sell his products to the ultimate
consumer without warehousing and
warehouse receipts because he is un-
able to finance himself like other in
dustres. Farm products, it seems,
have never been able to be standard
lied from the farm and only by COM
mon warehousing can we put out
standardized grades, which is another
great difficulty in marketing.
"By our plan we hope to organize
the community in business way ond
on a sound business basis so that we
can carry on the marketing end of our
business. At the same time we are
not losing sight of the ultimate con-
sumner. If we were receiving now,
even at low prices, what the consumer
is paying, minus transportation and
a reasonable distribution charge, farm
ing would be more encouraging.

RANKIN CLAMPS The LID
ON ALL VICE IN MONTANA
Attorney General Serves Warning. Will
Demand Officials to Do Duty. Ser
yes Ultimatum to Legislature.

Helena, Jan. 9th Unmistakable
warning to all Montana that bootleg
ging gambling and kindred violations
will be suppressed and vigorously
prosecuted was served this Thursday
afternoon by Attorney General We'll
lington d. Rankin. He began with
Helena. At Mr. Rankin's direction,
County Attorney j. R. Wine instruct
ed Sheriff George w. Huffaker to mott
fly every establishment in Lewis and
Clark county suspected of law viola
tions to shut up shop or go to Jail. At
L o'clock this afternoon, Sheriff Huff
aker, heading a party of deputies,
visited all of the places and delivered
the warning.
Helena has been running wide open
for 60 days." Mr.. Rankin said. "The
lid is now on and it stays on. That
goes for Helena and it goes for all
Montana. Booze, gambling and prosti-
tuition are most emphatically under the
ban. Punch boards are also forbidden.
There are a number of laws that
should be changed. Let the legislature
while it is in session pass such laws as
it desires enforced and have the cour.
age to repeal all laws that it does not
want enforced"
Mr.. Rankin declared that in his cam
paign for law enforcement he will
work through the co nty attorneys in
stead of attempting to handle prose-
cutions with members Of his staff. He
will maintain close watch on results
and will hold the county attorneys re-
sponsible for conditions in their vari-
Gus constituencies.
CONSERVATION was spread in certain
quarters, it is intimated. Some per-
sons are reported to have planned on
a golden harvest during the coming
weeks and had laid in generous sup
plies. Mr.. Rankin's reputation for
"going through" on whatever he starts
is said to have discouraged these per-
sons immeasurably. Other parts of
the state, which are said to have been
appraised already by telegraph of the
developments here, are in similar dis
tress.
The lid is on.
