MONTANA FARES
ORDERED RAISED
Interstate Commerce Commits
siOners Rule that State Rates
Discriminate.
TO TAKE EFFECT AT ONCE
Montana Railroad Commissioners to
Await Decision by Supreme Court
on New York and Wisconsin.
Same Issue. Will Cost the
State $1,200,O0O.

Passenger fares in Montana we're
on Wednesday ordered by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission to he
raised to the same level to those pre-
vailing in interstate traffic, according
to dispatches received from Washing
ton. The commissioners declared that
the present rates Disseminated against
interstate business.
Railroad officials of the larger GEN.
ters of the state declare that they have
expected the order for some time. as
the same point was at issue in the
other states where the commission in
creased the interstate rate. In the
opinion of the Montana railroad au-
thorities, the new rate will go into
effect Immediately. 1t is stated that
only one days notice in such event is
all that is required by law.
The old Montana rate has been 3
cents per mile, plus war tax, while the
new fare will amount to three and thr
new fare will amount to 3 3-5 cents
per mile. plus Federal tax, and, ac-
cording to estimates the raise will cost
Montanans $1,200,000 a year.
Montana's state railway commission
did not approve the raise in intrastate.
CraI1lc on the grounds that cent
fare in Montana is provided for by
statute and that they did not have the
power to go beyond the statute.
The ruling by the interstate COM
merce commission was made on the
evidence of hearing conducted last
fall by G. H. Mattingly. examiner of
the commission. The Montana COM
missioners then contended, and still
contend, that the Montana rates are
purely intrastate over which the in
terstate commerce commission has no
control.
E. c. Toomey, secretary of the Mon
tana commission, declared that the or
der was not "a surprise, inasmuch as
virtually the same point was at issue
in % other states and has been uni
formlv decided in favor of the car
riers."
The state commissions have not yet
given up the struggle. The case has
been carried to the supreme court by
New York and Wisconsin and the de
cision in these two states will govern
in Montana.

WlLLIST0N CITY MARKET
PROVES DECIDED SUCCESS
Farmers Get Cash for Produce. Com
mercial Club Manages the Affair
for Rural People

Williston, N. D., Jan PA produce
market for the benefit of the farmers
of this community has become an es-
tablished institution in the city of Will
liston, and weekly market days are
being held each Saturday. The third
market day will be held next Saturday.
The plan was inaugurated by the
Williston Commercial club in order to
aid the farmers in getting ready cash
that would tide them over the winter
months. A committee was appointed
in charge of the market day and a
building rented for a period of one
month by the Commercial club. Free
publicity was given the market by the
local papers and it is the intention of
the Commercial club to turn the insti-
tuition over to the farmers at the end
of 80 days and if they wish to continue
they may form an organization and
make plans lfor the financing of the
same.
At the first market day over 20
farmers brought in produce which con-
sisted of all kinds of meats, vegetables
and dairy products. The second mar
ket day which was held Saturday was
even a greater success and nearly
twice as many farmers brought pro-
duce in to be sold. The sales ran near
the $500 mark and both city people
and farmers were we'll pleased.
Most of the money being received by
the farmers from the sales at the mar
ket is being spent in the city and local
business concerns report excellent
sales on Saturdays. Some merchants
reported that old accounts had beer
paid by farmers who attended the
market.

PIONEER OF MONTANA
DEAD AT BILLINGS
Paul Mccormick Was Early Settler in
Gallatin Valley. One of First to
Invade Lower Yellowstone.

Billings, Jan. 26.-Paul Mccormick,
known throughout this and surround
ing states as the "Grand old man Of
Montana" died at his home here short
ly after o'clock Wednesday morning.
The pioneer had been confined to his
home for the past two years and for
the past three months had been unable
to leave his bed. He was rs years old
and death was due to heart affection
and increased weakness of old age.
Mr.. Mccormick was born in Stuben
county, New York, June Ia. 1S45,
spending his boyhood days there. He
came to Montana in 1866, settling in
the Gallatin valley where he engaged
in farming and freighting. He later
engaged with government troops in ex-
peditions with hostile Indians.
With Pease Expedition.
One of his most notable exploits
was the expedition organized by him
with the late Major F. d. Pease and
z. H. Daniels for an invasion of the
lower Yellowstone valley, then held by
the Sioux Indians. This expedition
was rescued by federal troops after it
had withstood repeated attacks from
the Indians during which six of the
men were killed and nine wounded.
Mr.. Mccormick later engaged in the
mercantile business in Miles City and
Junction City and then entered the
stock raising business. In 1891 he
established his residence in Billings,
engaging in a general mercantile bust
ness which he later sold to Yegen Bro
theirs and to the Huse- Yates Co.
Retired in 1908
Since 1908 he had devoted his at
tention to the management of his large
ranch interests near this city, until ill
health forced him to retire.

VALLEY COUNTY WOULD
LOSE ONE REPRESENTATIVE
Bill Before Legislature Would Reduce
House Roll to 100 Members. North
Country Would Gain One.

Helena, Jan. 26.-Opposition on the
part of members from some of the
larger counties of the state represent
ing the main centers of population TO
any apportionment which would result
IN the balance being transferred from
the more thickly populated sections to
the lesser populated counties by rea-
son of their large and increasing num-
ber, has brought about another change
in the plans of the house committee
on apportionment and representation
which will leave the membership of the
house during the ensuing 10 years
very little reduced from that of the
present assembly.
The committee has reported in a
substitute for H. B. 8. so drawn that
the next house of Representatives will
contain 100 members instead of 70 as
provided in the original Dillavou bill,
and instead of so as recommended bv
the committee in it's amendment of
the bill
The substitute bill places the repre-
sentation at one member for each 5000
population or major fraction thereof,
anu ledNeS 90 Ol CHe smaller ana new
er counties with one representative
each and those with two or more re-
presentatives, as follows:

tin 3, Hill 2, Lewis and Clark 3, Mis-
soula a. Park 2, Phillips 2, Ravalli 2,
Roosevelt 2, Sheridan 2, Silver Bow 10,
Valley 2, Yellowstone 5.
BY this re-apportionment northern
Montana counties would gain one rep
resentative. Cascade county's delega-
tion would remain as at present while
one member each would be added tt
Hill, Blaine, Phillips, Roosevelt ant
Sheridan counties against which Chou
teau would lose two members, Tetor
one and Valley one.
No gains would be experienced by
any other part of the state while the
losses to other counties would be as
follows. Silver Bow two, Lewis and
Clark two, Custer, Missoula. Madison,
Rosebud and Dawson, one each.

of the Retail Merchants association
last week it was voted after thorough
discussion to bring the question Of
commission form of government before

FATE OF FARM
TARIFF FEARED
Democratic Filibuster Now Men,
aces the Passage of the
FOrdney Bill.
PENROSE PLAN IS BLOCKED
Federal Employees Issue Statement
Denouncing Filibuster. Democrats
Would Work Sham Vindication
of Office Holders Under
Wilson.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Republican
leaders in the senate began to despair
this afternoon of the passage of the
emergency tariff bill. The Democratic
filibuster against the bill which has
been going on for several days devel-
oped such formidable proportions that
Republican leaders became fearful that
persistent efforts to pass the tariff
measure may prevent the enactment
of any other legislation in this Con-
gress.
Senator Penrose, as chairman of the
finance committee, came to the senate
in his wheel chair this afternoon TO
offer resolution, designed, he said, to
"test the faith of certain gentlemen on
the other side who deny that they are
filibustering against the tariff BILL"
The Penrose resolution asked unani-
nous consent of vote on the tariff
bill February /. Senator Underwood,
Democratic leader, objected, whereup-
Senator Penrose asked for an agree
ment upon any day up to the middle
Of February. Underwood was then
joined by Simmons of North Carolina
in objecting.
Senators Underwood, Alabama; Pat
Harrison, Mississippi; Fletcher, Flor
ida, Simmons, North Carolina, and
Hoke Smith of Georgia, all Democrats,
seem to have effected some sort of
combination to kill the emergency re-
lief asked by the farmers. Several
Democrats in the senate intend sup
porting the tariff bill if their COL
leagues give them an opportunity, but
the determination of the filibustering
group was we'll illustrated by the fact
that Smith of Georgia this afternoon
delivered a speech he has delivered
twice before in the last fortnight
against the minimum wage bill.
The Georgia senator smiled all the
time he was discussing the wage bill
as if he had in mind what was happen
ing to the tariff measure. and, still
smiling, disclaimed any purpose to fill
buster. The other senators in the fill
buster, however, entered no denial
The purpose Of the filibuster, it is un-
derstood, is not directed entirely
against the tariff bill, but is a piece OF
maneuvering intended to bring over
lures from the Republican side to con-
firm some of President Wilson's ap-
| on March 4 unless this senate acts IA
vorably.
A new element was injected into the
fight tonight when the National Feder-
alton of Federal employees issued a
statement denouncing the Democratic
filibusterers for holding up the passage
of the Johnson-N Nolan minimum wage
bill.

What's Your Drivin. Style?

like to watch the cars go by
And see the different kinds of driving
Some sit UP straight with heads so high.
some crouch-as on the point OF diving.
Some hide behind the steering wheel.
Content that just the head is showing;
Some look alive and keen as steel,
Some hardly know where they are going.
Some signal to the cars behind.
While others seem to quite forget It;
some hog the road and do not mind.
Some try to pass--and then regret it,
Some shift the gears with greatest care,
But some mack such dreadful cIashing
I'm fairly driven to despair
And wonder just how much they're smash

Likes to Demonstrate
His Cars. Saws De Bear

1--WE welcome an opportunity to DEM
onstrate the Chalmers" says Harry j..
De Bear, president of the local Chalm-
ers distributing corporation, because
we are firmly convinced that the car
to-day is one Of the greatest automo-
bile values offered. Due to the new
piston construction, the car is ready to
render full service without having to
be broken in by its owner or driver.
"The fact that the fuel is pre-heated
before it enters the cylinders has a
great deal to do with the fine per-
Torrance of this car. The gasoline
consumption is reduced, plug fouling
and carbon formation are almost I'M
known and much less oil is used.
"These points are of vital concern
because they greatly reduce upkeep
costs. And, because the motor works
so we'll, wear is reduced, meaning long
life to parts and lowered replacement
charges. The car is quiet, even in the
matter of rattles after extended serv-
ice, and it's balance is evidenced by the
way it holds the road, even at high
speeds, and by its easy steering.
"That is why | say we like to dem
onstrate the Chalmers, particularly to
people who know good cars"
