May and his bonds men following a raid on the boat last summer when less than a pint of whisky and a small quantity of near beer were said to have been seized
 The raid was the beginning of series of legal escapades which kept officialdom here on the jump for some time. The boat was seized under the Alabama prohibition laws, but slipped away from officers here and escaped to Tennessee. Later the boat returned to her berth near the Bank street warf. It was reported here that the steamer encountered court difficulties in Tennessee. The officers again seized the vessel and a guard was placed aboard her.
 It was declared in official circles that the non-suits in the two damage suits is the forerunner of a complete settlement of the case Troxell. it is reported, has dis appeared, and it is considered likely thai the vessel will be sold, but no official action has been taken.

Bad Winter of 1869 Left Him
Worse Than Broke, but He stuck

This region claims it has the best

Henry Thompson, who lives 35 miles
south of Dillon on his home ranch
and his neighbors declare hat his
is a model farm, with everything that
goes to make farming successful, sat

interesting description of Thompson
and his farm holdings is given and
it shows how a lifetime of industry,
directed by intelligence, can build up
an ideal home, as we'll as a profit
able ranch.
Forty years ago Thompson settled
on a government homestead near
Lima and started in the cattle and
sheep business on a "shoestring."

picture, in a report of the situation

broke, but he was not closed out and

patient, persistent and well directed
effort, sound judgment and good
management he has grown rich from

His plan was to purchase one ranch

and buy livestock as needed to run

PIONEER FACTORY
MAKES SOAP AGAIN
CHARLES T. PERRY & co. OF
HELENA ONE OF IMPORTANT
MANUFACTURERS OF STATE
Resume Production of Laundry Soap
and Soap Powder; For Years Have
Supplied Stearic Wax and OeIin
Oil for Big Eastern Manufacture
ers; History of Firm.

The Charles T. Perry company, es
tablished in Helena by Charles 7
Perry in 1888 for the purpose o
manufacturing soap, is n of thu
pioneer industries of the state. II
fact, it is one of the first, if not tn.
first mandatory in Montana. Fol
over 20 years the company made anC
sold soap in Montana and had a dis
tribution through the neighborins
states. In about the year 1900 the
allied industry of making hard way
mining candles was taken on and a.
the same time the refining of the by.
products of candle making was also
undertaken. These ~by-products are
dynamite glycerine and olein oil, the
glycerine being used by powder fac.
tories for the making of nitro-glycer-
inc. The olein oil is used by the
wooden mills for the finishing Of
wooden cloth.
With the growth in the demand fol-
these products, the firm was obliged
to give more and more of it's time
to their manufacture until about
1908 the making of soap was given
up. In the year 1913 the candle in
dustry was dropped, the candles be-
ing replaced in the mines by the
small carbide lamp. Since that time
the stearic wax from which mining
candles were formerly made has been
refined by the company and sold
principally to Colgate & Co., of New
York, for the making of face creams,
shaving soap, etc. For fifteen years
the oelin oil of this company which
has always gone to the wooden mills
of New England, has topped the Bos-
ton market, both as to price and
quality. This type of oil and olive
oil are the only oils which the wooden
mills can use on wooden cloth without
harming the fibre. The dynamite
glycerine produced by this company
has always gone to the Du Pont
powder plants.
The Charles T. Perry company,
now operated by the sons of Charles
T. Perry, is again taking up the man
ufacture of soap, along with it's other
products. The soap factory was re-
equipped in the spring of this year,
and has been turning out soap since
June, 1921. The firm so far is spe-
cializing in laundry soaps and is now
introducing it throughout the state.
They are making a white floating
soap for laundry purposes, which
they sell under the name of Meat
Laundry" and 7 also making a soap
powder under the trade name of
"Napo." They are also making
Clipped soap and powdered soap for
the use of steam laundries.
This company is a purely Montana
industry, located in Montana, Mon
tana owned, buying much of its sup
plies and materials within the state.
The present output of the plant is
about 1000 cases of soap per month,
though the capacity is about four
times that.
David Perry is the president and
manager of the firm. o. H. Perry is
secretary of the company and in
charge of selling and distribution.

FISHING BARRED
THROUGH WINTER
STATE FISH AND GAME COMMITS
SION ASTONISHES MONTANA
ANGLERS WITH ORDER
Close Season Between December /
and May % for All Varieties Of
Fish Except Whitefish, Loeb Leven
and Bull Trout; New Regulation
Concerning Dams.

AstoniShment of Montana fisher
men at the order of the state fish
and game commission, made at Malta
recently, prohibiting fishing between
December 1 and May % for all var
ieties except w~hitefish, Loeb Leven,
and bull trout, had hardly passed be-
fore it was also made known that
fishing is likewise prohibited at all
times within 800 feet below any
power or storage dam.
This last order stops forever the
practice of fishing in the waters adj
Joining the spillways of big dams.
Fishermen must not ply their lines
closer than 800 feet land at that point
the fish are not nearly so plentiful
as they are closer to the dam.
All these things, and many more,
were announced by Thomas Nelson
Marlowe of Missoula, chairman of the
fish and game commission.
MarIowe said the closed season On
fish vas ordered after sportsmen's
associations in the state had been
polled. Only seven out of SO such
organizations voting had favored the
retention of uninterrupted fishing.
The new order gives six months fish
ing and six months rest to the tired
anglers. The opening day of fishing
was set at May % so everybody could
plan to go fishing on Memorial day,
May 80.
The number of deputy game war
dens in the state was reduced from
26 to 18. Provision was made for
the construction of two additional
fish hatcheries, one at Great Falls
and n at Lewistown. At Great
Falls the Montana Power company
has offered a free site, water supply
and a cash donation of $4,000. Lew
istown people have subscribed a free
site, water supply and $1,000 in cash.
