BAN ON JAY WALKERS

Fort Myers, August 1S.-Residents
of Fort Myers are walking chalk lines
nowadays whether they wish to or
not, the city commission having
adopted regulation prohibiting "jay''
walking in the business section. The
important crossings are ornamented
with broad white lines indicating the
way the streets are to be crossed.
The city commission explains that
the effort to abolish Jay" walking
had as its object the diminishing of
automobile accidents on the down
town streets and to make the streets
safe for pedestrians.

among property which he owns are
5000 acres near the Dakota line.
In developing the livestock industry
of Montana he has played an import
ant part. and annually has shipped
into the state for distribution among
the farmers and small ranchers for
feeding (thus providing a market for
the states forage and cereal crops)
thousands of head of livestock.
Along similar lines during the past
few years he has placed large
amount of stock with farmers and
Colorado. Wyoming, Utah, Montana,
and other western states. The Oper-
ations of these farmers and ranchers
he has financed to large degree.
Number of Head Increasing.
In 1913 he handled more than 3d.
900 head of cattle and each year sue
ceeding the number has been in ex-
cess of that amount. In 1914 he en-
ported through the port of Nogales
from Mexico over 100000 head OF
livestock. In addition to his Mon
tana ranches and the ranch on the
border he is interested in ranches in
northern New Mexico and in the state
OF Sonora, old Mexico, the control
of the southern ranches being vested
in the La Osa Livestock & Loan COM
pany. in which he and his associates,
Ramon Elias, Jose Canon and Beck
ford Kibbey. are interested. The for
mer two visited in Montana on one
or two occasions.
Thousands Of head are grazed on
the Sonora ranch, but for several
years. owing to distribution condi-
tiOns along the Mexican border, it
was not possible to import them into
this country. However, conditions

with an ambition SO prominent in the
character of great western men. He
has gained position as one of the
wealthfest men IL not the wealthiest,
In the Montana state senate as q re-
suit OF untiring energy and hard
labor.
He first came to Montana in 1890,
and secured employment as a cow
boy on the ranges of southeastern
Montana. He was in the employ of
the Berry Brothers Cattle company
and of the late Pierre Wibaux and
rode the range the same as any other
cowpuncher. In 1904 he engaged in
business ON a small smale in Mingos-
Vile, Montana, now called Wibaux.
In 1905 he became interested in a
bank in that rapidly developing dis
trict. His rise has been phenomenal
for in the succeeding IL years he
has increased his possessions to q
point where his wealth is variously
estimated in seven figures.
He first became extensively inter-
ested in politics through his efforts
to organize Wibaux county, of which
he is the father. In 1902 he was a
delegate to the Republican state con-
vention at Livingston, and later the
same year he was nominated by the
state convention at Great Falls as
the party candidate for lieutenant
governor. He ran ahead of his
ticket but was swamped as result
of the division which existed in the
party that year. With the creation of
Wibaux county in the summer of
1914 he was appointed its first state
senator and was reelected for a term
of four years at the general election
that fall.

An Earth Tremor
On Granite street just west of
Hamilton an old gulch had been
spanned with planking which had
been covered with paving blocks. On
an extension of this planking stood
the realty office Of Curtis & Majors.
Green Majors withdrew from the
firm and removed to California. He
was through the great earthquake
and his nerves suffered. Shortly af-
forwards he came to Butte. He was
calling on John Curtis, senior part
ner, when huge ore wagon rumbled
down the street. AS It crossed the
gulch. the planks under the pave
ment trembled and quivered with the
weight. The realty office responded
to the tremor. Majors turned white
and selling Curtis arm exclaimed:

these "barkers.'' They have long
since ceased to operate.
The street candy peddler is a by

One OF these known as Scout Taylor

business for several years.

Mexico that the opportunities for do
Ing business are continually growing
brighter and that is one reason
why Senator Kinney proposes to de-
vote himself to the southeast and
his interests there.
Another big ranch in which he is
interested is situated near Gallup,
in New Mexico. There thousands Of
head have been running along the
Mexican border on the American
side. At this ranch water is secured
by wells which Senator Kinney and
his associates have sunk. some Of
them 1000 feet deep. Another ranch
on the Mexican border is situated
south of Tucson in the Altar valley.
1t is one Of the latest exclusive live
stock ranches in the country. There
are more than 100000 acres under
fence. More than $4,000 acres of it
is decided land, the balance leased
under long time contracts from the
Santa Fee railroad.
100000 Expended on Wells.
This land was formerly considered
almost valueless owing to a lack of
water, but Senator Kinney and his
associates have spent approximately
100000 in sinking wells. Some of
them cost as high as $4,000 apiece.
The ranch is situated at Lasabe on
the border, and it was near there
that the battle between the cowboys
and American militia men and the
Mexican soldiers took place.
Senator Kinney believes that Mon
tana will before long begin a new
era as a great livestock producing
state and within a few short years
he expects to see the number of cat
tie many thousands greater than
ever in its history. These conditions
he says, will be brought about by
the small farmers, who will raise
small herds but of far better

SENATOR J. c. KINNEY, ONE OF BIGGEST
ST0CkGR0wERS IM AMERICA, LEAVES STATE

Senator ]. c. Kinney, representing
Wtbaux county in the state senate,
has been called to Arizona, where he
has extensive livestock and ranch in
terests. The range where his stock
has been kept is said to be drying up
and 1t is probable that 5000 head of
his cattle will have to be shipped.
This means that Senator Kinney
will not return during the present
legislative session. He has gradually
been transferring his interests from
The Powder River County examiner and the Broadus independent. [volume] (Broadus, Mont.) 1919-1935, 1921-02-25

Montana to Arizona and for the past
three years has spent most of his
time in the southern state. 1t is be-
lieved that henceforth he will make
his home in Arizona.
Senator Kinney is one of the most
popular members of the legislature
and has wide acquaintance in
Montana, gained through many years
residence. General regret has been
expressed at the probability that
Montana will lose him.
Senator Kinney has lived life of
romance. He began his career in
this state quarter of a century ago,
riding the ranges of southeastern
Montana as cowboy. In few
years he, went into the cattle business
for himself. He prospered. Then
came the hOmesteader, whose en-
croachments on the ranges compelled
the cattle barons to seek other Sec
tions. Senator Kinney went to Ari-
IONA, where on the country's south
ern frontier he found new ranges for
his vast and growing herds. He has
become one of the greatest OF the
stOckmen of the southwest. At pres
ent he and his associates are rang
ing between $4,000 and 10000 head
Of cattle on one 0O.O0O-acre ranch
in southern Arizona alone. In sim
gle season he has brought into this
country from Mexico more than 10O.-
900 head.
At one time Senator Kinney was
prisoner in the hands of the Next
cans and only timely discovery OF
his identity and the revelation that
he was associated with Mexican in
terests friendly to his captors saved
him from the firing squad.
Battle Near His Ranch
When the Associated Press four
years ago carried the story of bat
tie between Arizona cowboys and
Utah militia men on the one side and
Carranzista Mexican soldiers on the
other 1t was read with more than
passing interest by the Wibaux coun-
ty senator, for the fighting. which
lasted for more than "a hours, took
place within half a mile of Senator
kinney's ranch, and the American
participants were all friends of his,
some of them cowboys in the employ
OF the company in which he is in
terested.
Extensive cattle operations in nor
thern Mexico and throughout the
western portion of the United States
have made him one of the most
prominent cattle men of the nation.
In one year alone he handled more
than 100000 head of livestock, a
large portion of which was placed
with farmers and small ranchers in
Rocky mountain states for feeding
purposes. His annual operations
have represented several million
dollars investment.
1t has only been in recent years
that Senator Kinney has been inter-
ested in the livestock industry of the
southwest. Until 1913 practically
all his interests were in the eastern
section of Montana, and as one of its
leading business men and its greatest
developers he gained prominence
throughout the Treasure state.

In segregating in 40 classes, all OF
the business of Montana, r. D. Mil
Ter, auditor of the state corporation
income tax, shows some interesting
reflections of business in Montana
during the last four years. His segre-
cation covers the complete reports
of all companies doing business for
the years of 1917, 1918, 1919 and
1920, ending December 81, 1920.
The total tax collected during the
entire period is $1,977,30o.7s and
shows a decrease each year from
$7S6,457 in 1917 to $557,75S in
1918; in 1919 is dropped to $780,
954 and in 1920 to $24O,13O.
Mining Companies Decrease.
The decrease is because OF the
smaller business done by mining,
milling and smelling companies.
They are the heaviest contributors
and their income tax dropped from
$580,9S0 in 1917 to $33,771 in 1920.
Among the branches of business
which showed increases are farming
and livestock which jumped from
$S,834 in 1917 to $13,6O1 in 1920
General merchandise jumped up
from $16,942 in 1917 to $19,555 in
1920. Other business that showed an
increase are grain, seedsmen and
elevator, insurance companies, lum.
her. coal, building material. hay and
grain and flour and feed. lumber
manufacturers.
Liquors Drop Off.
Amusements also took a drop and
banks increased. Cement. brick and
tile plants dropped while contractors
made more money. Drugs and boots
and shoes showed no gain and little
change while fruit and produce bare.
~ held their own. Hotels and restau-
rants showed healthy business in
1917 drop for two years and a re.
sumption of business in 1920.
Both liquor dealers and soft drink
parlors dropped greatly. Packers and
butchers also had hard shedding &C.
cording to the report. while plumb
ers picked up from $3.50 in 1917 to
1882 in 1920. Undertakes have been
going along about the same.
Items Segregated.
Mr.. Miller has also prepared an
interesting segregation Of all report
ing for the four year period giving
a net gain by years in the number of
corporations assessed during each OF
the current years.
