GREATEST HELP
FOR THIS STATE
Lower Freight Tariffs In Sight
|. c. c. Now Active To Force
Reduction.

Washington, June 1.-Downward re-
vision of railroad rates, particularly
of those on necessities, was discussed
by the president today with members
of the interstate commerce commits
sion at an informal conference at the
commissions headquarters. The presi-
dent was understood to have ben as
sured that the whole subject was un-
der review by the commission.
Report Progress.
Mr.. Harding inquired particularly
about the prospect for modification
of rates on fruits. The commission
officials are reported to have told
him that they were making consider
able progress on plan for obtaining
voluntary reductions in some rates
through concerted action by the car
riers.
1t was said that this movement and
the general work of ironing out in
equalities had gone much further than
information hitherto given to the pub
lie had indicated. The details as to
this, however, were not made public.
The conference was understood also
to have had to do with the proposal
that the government pay the railroads
now the total of funds due them on ac-
count of federal control and defer Is
years collection of the money due the
government from the railways for new
construction during the period of gov
eminent control.

GLASGOW Wins IN
Two MORE GAMES
Malta and Nashua Go Down Ry Rec.
ords of "a and 1876 Respec-
lively.

The ball games last Sunday with
Malta, and Monday with Nashua, re-
suited in pair of victories for the
home team. Marked improvement is
noted in the work of the team as the
season progresses, especially in the
fielding, and "Beck" is becoming a
star on the first bag.
Cold weather, so much so that fur
coats were popular in the grand stand,
did not prevent the Sunday game from
being worth seeing although the at
tendance was very light There was
nothing sensational except a three
base hit by Becker. The tally was
5 to 4 in favor of Glasgow, and the
game remarkably free from errors
considering the atmospheric frigidity
Monday was the most beautiful
spring day of the year-regular Mon
tana weather, and the game with
Nashua attracted the largest attend
ance of the year, the grand stand and
bleachers being filled and about fifty
cars parked around the lot. Moe, fol
the home team did not show up and
Fried, young player from the
school team was substituted. He
threw seven frames in the manner of
veteran. But both sides had THEN
batting eyes and swatting clothes
along, and hits by everybody, were
fast, frequent, high, wide and hand
some. The Nashua team were game
but they lacked team work, and fel
down on the fielding, in which the
home team excelled. According tt
the documents kept by the oficia
scorer the game belonged to Glasgow
the camera having recorded 16 runs
for them and for Nashua; the photo
graphic appartus could not catch al
of the errors, and it may have misset
few of the runs. An adding ma
chine was sent for to keep up will
the hits but it did not arrive in time
so this record is lost to humanity.
The game was enjoyed by all ant
there is no doubt that next time Nash

tributed to their defeat Monday.

MANY KILLED
IN RACE RIOT

Tulsa, Okla, June 1.-Nine white
men are known to have been killed in
the race clash that broke out here
Tuesday night and ragged until We'd
nesday noon, and Chief of Police Gus
tafson placed the negro dead at 65.
In addition, scores of white and ne
groes have been wounded and practi-
cally the entire negro quarter is a
mass of ruins, the result of fire.
Fire department officials expressed
the belief early Wednesday afternoon
that the white residence districts
would be saved from the flames that
are still raging in the negro section.
With martial law in effect in the city
and county, three hundred or more
national guardsmen placed at STRAIT
egic points in the negro quarter, or
ders issued to disarm all citizens and
approximately 5000 negroes under
guard in detention camps, officials ex-
pressed the belief that the situation is
under control.

BEST OUTLOOK
IN FOUR YEARS
Chas ID. Greenfield of Great Northern
Gives This Summary of Obser-
vatiOns in Two States.

"Not in four years have climatic
conditions at this season Of the year
in the country tributary to the Great
Northern railway in Montana and
North Dakota been so favorable for
good crops as they are today" said
Chas. D. Greenfield, agricultural de-
velopment agent in Montana for the
Great Northern, while attending the
meeting of the district group bankers
at Glasgow. Last week he attended
the meetings in North Dakota.
"All along the line in the two
states," continued Mr.. Greenfield,
"there have been rains, putting the
ground in excellent shape for the ger
mination of the seed.
''At the various meetings there was
evinced a spirit of optimism by the
bankers from the different counties,
due to the excellent outlook. The re-
ports showed in many sections not
only an acreage sown equal to that
in 1916. but there was almost unan-
unity where references were made to
the sort of farming that was being
done to the effect that the land had
been better prepared, and more farm

wheat seeding is as general

sowed early the plants are well up and

quantity of oats is being planted, but
there is a considerable decrease in the
flax acreage, according to reports.

son to feel optimistic with present

MANLY OLD TIMER
HAS "CASHED IN"
w. S. Griffith, Pioneer and Former
Sheriff Dies at Hospital In
WillistOn.

w. S. Griffith, aged SO, of Scoby,
Montana, pioneer and former sheriff
of Valley county, died at a hospital in
Wiliston, last Monday. The funeral
was held at Scoby Wednesday.
In being called upon to record the
passing of pioneer, it seldom occurs
that the writer has opportunity to
deal with the events and story of a
life more typical of Montana and the
west, than that of the deceased. He
came to Glasgow a camp cook and
cowboy many years ago. After that
he was saloon keeper, poker player,
racher, rifle shot, hunter, and sheriff.
He played the clay OUT through the
varying and most eventful years of
Montana history, was popular good
fellow with well balanced ideas and
purposes in life; he was almost relig-
iously jealous in the development of
his chosen country, in which he play
ed an important part. He believed in
doing good for the sake of humanity
and not in the fear Of the anger and
vengeance of higher power. He'll,
was to him what men make for
themselves on earth, and not place
of divine origin, for future punish
ment. His convictions were all hon
est and sincere and he is spoken of
by those in Glasgow who know him
best, as having many admirable quail
tiles of heart and mind, blended with
the brave and adventurous spirit of
the pioneer.
During his residence here, which
covered number Of years he was fol
time in partnership with DR.. Hoyt
and Mr.. Mahon. DR.. Hoyt and Mr.
Mabee had accompanied him on hunt
ing trips, at different times, ano
knew him intimately. What they say
reminds us that no written testimon-
ial, no marble shaft, no splendor of
ancient or modern tombs, can adorn
the memory of the many men who
formed the vanguard of the army of
civilization as it advanced upon Mon
tana. "By their works ye shall know
Them" and this great state itself is
an imperishable monument to their
memory. He was a prominent and
typical member of the pioneer band
and as such all will do reverence to
his ashes.
In short sketch of him, Mr.. Mabee
says: "Griffith came up the trail from
Texas with the MN in one of their
several large cattle drives, from the
