HAYS ASSURED
FOR NEXT POST :.
MASTER GENERAL
Republican National
Chairman Refuses to
Discuss Cabinet
Appointments

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Feb. IA
Will H. Hayes, Republican national
chairman, is the man almost certain
to be the next postmaster general,
arrived in St. Augustine late today
for his last conference with Presi-
dent-elect Harding before the latter's
inauguration.
Mr.. Hays will have an extended
conference with Mr.. Harding as hd
plans to spend several days here. Tho
man who was largely responsible for
the overwhelming Republican land
slide in November, was ominously
silent about his cabinet.
Silent on Situation
The Republican chairman was
asked about reports to the effect that
he had. already given his formal ac-
ceptance Of the offer of the post Of
fee portfolio, but he declined to dis
cuss the matter.
To the direct question, would you
accept the postmaster generalship II
it were offered" Mr.. Hays replied.
II don't think l had better discuss
that"
In we'll informed circles close to
the president-elect, Mr.. Hays has
been for some time regarded as a
cabinet possibility.
It is apparent President-elect
Harding has the highest opinion OF
Mr.. Hays ability as an organizer and
believes that as postmaster general,
Mr.. Hays would effect complete re-
organization of the postal service, re-
garded as one of the weakest spots
in the administration.
Daugherty to Confer
Other men practically conceded
places in the next cabinet will come
to st. Augustine shortly for final con-
ferences with Mr. Harding. First
of these will be Harry Daugherty of
Columbus, who will be attorney gen.
eral of the next administration.
Andrew H. Mellon of Pittsburgh,
it was learned today, will be in
Florida shortly for conference with
Mr.. Harding. The Mellon boom for
secretary of the treasury is daily be-
more formidable since the
elimination Of Charles G.
Dawes, the Chicago banker. Dawes
is understood to have told friends
here that he now has no intention of
accepting a cabinet post. Mellon has
enlisted the strongest kind of back
ing, naming Senators Knox and Pen
rose among his supporters.

WILL e. ID. HINES EXPLAIN?

Assessor Malcolm says that e. d.
Hines of Aberdeen is the best deputy
assessor he had in the county.
Mr.. Hines has lived at or near
Aberdeen every year of the ten years
since the newspaper was established
there, it has been a profitable enter
prise the last few years. Mr.. Hines
has been assessing Aberdeen and he
has not yet assessed The Times.
What the people of this county
wish to know is whether Mr.. Hines
overlooked it of his own accord each
year or whether a county official
directed him to. If the latter, which
county official was it?

Last Sunday aforenoon DR.. Chris
Jensen came down from Morris, and
assisted by DR.. Ransom of this place,
and DR.. Fitzgerald of Morris, ampu-
tated M. N. Johnson's foot a few
inches above the ankle. 1t will be
remembered that on the opening day
of the hunting season Mr.. Johnson
had his foot injured by gun shot
wound and he was taken to the hos
pital at Starbuck where an operation
was performed and it was hoped that
the foot could be saved. Since then,
however, the bones of the arch of
the foot have refused to heal and the
surrounding tissues have broken
down to such an extent that it was
deemed best to amputate the entire
foot.

i Inspector Ray S. Gaunt of the bu

Great Falls Tuesday night on the
charge of passing worthless checks
ana who claimed that he was a special
! inyes tigator from the office of Attor-
| ney General Wellington d. Rankin,
really has an official acquaintance
with the attorney general. Surles
knows of Rankin because the latter is
member Of the parole board of the

criminal record was shown him. On

Of the wheat grown in Washington

quality. be milled at home. according
to Paul A. Fisher. sales manager at
Spokane for the Royal Milling Co. Mr..
Fisher was in Great Falls Wednesday
for a conference at the headquarters
offices of his company, and stated that
the quality attained by Washington
wheat this season has brought about
an abrupt change in methods ordinarily
followed in handling the crop.
Washington mills will this season
handle more home grown wheat than
in several years" said Mr. Fisher.
Because of its high milling quality, a
larger amount of the crop than usual
can be milled at local plants, materi-
ally reducing the tonnage ordinarily i'm
ported to make the necessary blends
The wheat crop matured after fash
ion seldom realized in Washington and
the growers are receiving larger re-
turns as a consequence.

yields in the Inland Empire this
year ranged from 90 to 90 bushels an
acre. Harvesting was completed last
month and much Of the threshing is
out of the way. Prices for Wash
ington wheat range at almost the same
level paid for the same varieties in
Montana"
Mr.. Fisher stated that Washington
orchardists are experiencing a big year
along with the wheat growers There
is a ready sale for all varieties of
apples. with prices ranging from S1.65
to $3.50 box. Nearly all of the apple
crop has been contracted. much of the
export demand coming from sections
of the east where fruit trees were
frosted last spring.
'All of agricultural Washington is
having good season." Mr.. Fisher
stated. The combination made by
big wheat crop and big fruit crop.
with prices that yield a substantial
profit to the growers. is going a long
way towards returning the state to
normal"

Mr.. Fisher was assistant cashier
of the American Bank and Trust Co.

with the Royal Milling Go. He left
Great Falls to take a position with

Rumor has it that Miss Ida Brown,
OF Irwin Miller's Broadway Rastus
Company is about to desert the stage
for matrimony. This rumor is
strengthened by the fact that shortly
before the departure OF the company
for Detroit Sunday night, Miss Brown
handed in her resignation, to become
effective Immediately after the COM
plction of the companys engagement
in Columbus, Ohio, which follows the
Detroit engagement.
Speculation is rife as to who her

generally conceded that the musical
comedy star is to become the wife OF
Sheridan A. Brusseaux, of the Key
stone National Detective Agency, who
has been conspicuous in his attention:
to her lately.
When asked for a confirmation or
denial OF the rumor, Brusseaux re-
mained non-committal. refusing to
make statement. His very silence.
however, lends strength to the belief
that he is soon to become benedict
