From Middle West
Snecial Ia The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Roundup, March 18.-Connderable
new immigration is expected this year
from the middle west, several local men
having trades in prospect for Montana
lands. The first new settler, w. B.
Gowans. arrived from Missouri to take
over the T., G. Farmer ranch. which
he has acquired and viii at once pro-
coed to put in crop and otherwise
improve it. The unusual amount Of
snow o tas winter a.: .1n.t the afEe amount
is said to be the best assurance Of q
crop this county has had in years. The
mountains surrounding the Musselshell
watershed are now full of snow and
irrigated ranches along the river will
be able to use an adequate amount Of
water for their alfalfa and grain fields
along the bottoms. Winter wheat Is
looking fine and little, if any, winter
killing is anticipated,

ROSENFELD FOUND
GUILTY OF CHARGE
Jury COnvicts South Side Mer-
chant of Trapping Beaver
Without Permit.

Deliberating only 10 minutes, a jury
in the Wilson justice court room Sat
urday found Lewis Resented. former
south side merchant, guilty of trapping
and killing beaver without a permit.
Justice of the Peace G. A. Wilson re-
served sentence until Monday morning.
Resented is liable to fine of not less
than $25 or more than $500 and q
maximum Jail sentence of 60 days.
Resented was arrested following the
finding Of crate of beaver skins and
shop by a deputy game warden. Through
the testiomny Of David Herscovitch,
who was arrested on complaint of
Rosenfeld that he had stolen the skins,
counsel for the defendant tried to show
that the witnes and Rosenfeld had pur-
chased the beaver pelts. Herscovitch
could account for only 40 of the skins
while SO were found in the box.
The state presented evidence to show
that the pelts were in Rosenfeld's pos.
session and that they were packed ready
for shipment. When confronted with
this evidence. Resented admitted that
he owned the skins. He said he had
bought them but could not tell the jury
from whom they were purchased. state
game laws provide that possession OF
beaver skins is prima facie evidence
that they were secured by hunting and
trapping.
Deputy County Attorney Julius Wuerth-
ner conducted the prosecution and
Resented was represented by Attorney
". F. OLeary. Resented is facing
another state charge of obtaining credit
and property Under false pretenses and
n federal charge of concealing assets
from his trustee in bankruptcy is also
pending against him.

AUTO SHOW BEST YET HELD
IS VERDICT Of EXHIBITORS
Attendance Greater Than Last Year and 1922
Sales Now Where They Were in May
of 1921.

With sales Of autos to oil men being
closed a. cars were shunted out Of the
Rainbow lobby and with happy crowd
gathered for the finale dance, the sew
enth annual auto show closed Satur-
day night as a record breaker of re.
cent years in attendance and automo-
bile sales.
Stimulated by the community sales
and show week, the news Of the oil
find at Kelvin and q we'll balanced series
of entertainm ents during the week, the
auto show was pronounced by dealers,
those attending and by the show man
ager as one which will be remembered
as a banner motor car exhibit.
One Of the most interesting features
of the week and stunt which at
tracted many onlooknrs was the quick
removal of cars from the Palm room
to Third street by the front window
route. 1t took just nine minutes to
take 10 cars "over the bump" of the
window sill and on to the street.
Buyers Claim Cars
Many of the cars shown during the
week were claimed by parties to whom
tAey Hdu Deeu SOLO as soon as they
were taken out Of the show. George
Prentice, Dodge agent, sold two cars
to oil men for use at the Kelvin field,
just as the show was closing. One deal
was closed just as the auto was going
out the Rainbow window.
Auto dealers in conference Saturday
evening stated that as many cars have
been sold in Great Falls up to the end
of auto show week as were disposed
Of in 1921 up to the last day of May.
Checking against the 1921 attend
ance record, it is found that there was
an increase of practically one-third in
attendance in 1922 over 1921" said
Walter Wight, ticket chairman.
There is no doubt that from ali
standpoints the 1922 show was the most
successful of recent years." said Show
Manager A. ]. Breitenstein, who has

WEEK EXCEEDS
EXPECTATIONS
SAY SPONSORS
Show Rooms Crowded With
Out of Town Visitors
Until Last Hour.

The first annual Great Falls COM
munity sales and show week closed
Saturday night with exhibitors, BUSH
ness men, sponsors and customers
unanimous in the opinion that it had
been success greater than expected.
Although the weather man dealt out an
adverse brand of weather, the week
realized its ambitions It brought
many out of town visitors, stimulated
business and turned few pessimists
into optimists.
Buying Stimulated
Officers Of the Great Falls Ad club,
which sponsored the week, said Satur
day night that their initial community
enterprise had went over big" Ex-
hibtors who maintained booths at the
pure food show asserted that that fea
ture Of the week was instrumental in
stimulating buying and that they we're
we'll pleased. Talks with. merchants
revealed that with the exception of
the stormy day, their record Of pur-
chases gave evidence of the success
Of the week.
Despite the unfavorable climatic and
travelling conditions. there was a good
attendance from out of the city. The
committee In charge was unable Sat
urday night to report on the number
of railroad refunds that were made
during the week but A. H. Jester,
chairman of the committee. said it
would reach a good figure. A number
of visitors did not take advantage
Of the fare and half rate because
Of the fact, they said, that the home
railway stations we're So crowded with
people bound for Great Falls that they
couldn't buy tickets until they got on
the train.
Exhibit Hail Crowded
All day Saturday the exhibit han was
crowded with visitors. The jam did
not loosen until near the closing hour.
One index on the attendance during
the week was the report of the Stone
Ordean- Wells company that it had
served 1857 cups of coffee No effort
was made to count the number Of peo-
pie who viewed the exhibits but it is
estimated that the attendance went
we'll into the thousands.

such test is made, but Wyoming oil
men say that wells completed in that
state in the same sand have not dimin-
ished more than % barrels a day in
the last 26 months.
Sand May Be 100 Feet Thick
The thickness Of the sand, another
point of much interest, can be only esti
mattel, but Mr.. Campbell believes that
it is at least 100 feet thick. He stated
that he has repeatedly found the same
sand 300 feet thick in Canada and that
while it becomes thinner farther south,
he considers it very probable that it is
100 feet through in the Kelvin district.
Talk OF Stevenson Settlement
The strain under which Mr.. Campbell
has been laboring while drilling the well
is plainly evident in his features. His
face is that of man 10 years older
than the Gordon Campbell who was in
Great Falls last summer and in his
every move state of nervousness is
apparent. He said that there has been
discussion Of a settlement Of the It'll
CATION between himself and L. G. Ste
phenson, his former fiscal agent, but
that no progress has been made that
could be considered definite.
IF / should lose this action. would
be broke" he declared. ''The syndi-
cate would be all right, but l would
have nothing left. / have been through
seven oil fields before this without max
ing any money, and if l lose this suit
the Kelvin field will be the eighth"
Visitors FIocking In
Visitors continue to arrive here in in
creasinR numbers and it is expected that
the the crowd will grow even larger
next week. A number of scouts from
the big companies are here watching
progress at the well, but it is not un-
derstood that any Of those on the
ground have a larger jurisdiction than
to report developments. These men are
pulling" for decision on the part Of
Mr. Campbell to drill deeper into the
oil sand. while local people with acreage
or royalties are hoping that he will in
stall pump and be satisfied with the
production now possible. A large num-
Der of men of Great Falls, Lewistown
and other Montana cities are here with
an idea to obtaining acreage or royal
ties, but no deals Of consequence have
been made. Rumors are current of
prices asked, but no definite figure of
an amount offered or accepted can be
verified.
A party Of Lewistown men, includ-
ing Tom Stout, editor of the Lewistown
Democrat News; J. B. Rich, Waiter
Bright, Ray D'Autremont, Ray Calkins
and others left Saturday after being
here since Thursday.

state, this board appearing az formal

stock case.
Grain, grain products and hay: re-

case.
Fruit and vegetables Gncluding po-

Reduced Material Rates
"1n connection with the attorney
lions are required to pay unreasonable
rates, the board wishes to point out that
it has secured reduction of % per
cent on brick for buildings to be erected
at Bozeman and Missoula, and another
reduction of 20 per cent On granite to
be used in the construction of build
lngs at Bozeman. In connection with
the first reduction, the board specifi-
cally ascertained that the contract for
brick provided that any reduction in
freight rates should accrue to the bene-
fit of the state. In connection with
the reductions on building rock the
board found that the contracts failed
to include provisions whereby such
reductions would result in gain to
the state. in consequence the board it
self made representation before the
state board of examiners that all con-
tracts for building materials should spe-
officially provide that reduced rate ad-
vantages should accrue to the state.
The board took this step because its
experience Of the last Is months has
shown that in many instances the ulti-
mate consumer is not getting the bene-
fit. as he should, of freight rate re-
auctions.
Coal Rates Low
"As far as Montana coal rates are
concerned, it is fact that Montana
intrastate rates for one OF two line
hauls are a great deal lower than coal
rates in the states of Wyoming, Utah,
Washington and Idaho. In fact Mon
tana intrastate coal rates are second to
the low Ignite rates obtaining in North
Dakota, and as is well known, the lig-
mite coal of that state is only about
half as valuable as Montana bituminous
and semi-bituminous coal.
There is no governmental agency in
the state Of Montana which has been
as active, or is more anxious to secure
reduced rates for Montana people, as
soon as reductions can lawfully be Sc
cured, than the Montana railroad COM
mission, and the board is willing to
stand on its record of the past Is
as proof of this fact"

Helena, March 1s.-As result Of
the United States supreme court de-
cision last month in the Wisconsin
passenger fare case, in which the rights
of the interstate commerce commission
were upheld, the state supreme court
Saturday ordered the resubmission Of
the Montana suit against the carriers.
This case has been pending in the

suit was to enforce the state law lin
iting passenger fares to cents mile.

granted the carriers rate Of SO cents.
The Montana suit was similar to the
Wisconsin one.
