Fourteen Foreigners Barely
Escape Death at Wells
burg Today:

WELLSBURG, w. Va. May 90
Fourteen men living in
the home of Sam Sparato at
Seventh and Yankee streets,
Wel1sburg, narrowly escaped with
their lives early this morning
when bonn was exploded under
the building, Blowing the entire
east side out and breaking Win
dows for blocks around. The .ex-
/ plosion occurred about 2:14
O'Clock.
Up to late hour this morning,
no arrests had been made, but
Sheriff H. H Duvall and a posse
of deputies were running down
clues and arrests were expected.
That the explosion was the
thought expressed by Sheriff Du-
vail Sparato refused to make a
statement, declining to say any
thing even to the auth critics. His
little son, however, when asked
whether his father had ever re-
ceived blackhand letters or warn
ing5, said:
II do not know, but you know
they send the hands around and
ask so much money. If you
don't pay, they blow up your
house and its costs $500 or S700.
to fix it up" With that he turn
ed away and would say nothing
more.
Windows for "a half block
around were blown out, while
every window in the Kyle Hard ;
ware Co. building across the street
was blown out or shattered. TIE
entire ceiling of the second fIoGr
of the Kyle building was shats
down by the explosion, which
woke up the entire town.
The building was three story
brick, and bricks from it were
thrown nearly a half block falling
on adjoining houses in showers.
Sheriff Duvall expressed the
opinion that the bombs Were Of
dynamite and had been dropped
into an air vent beneath The
building. A hole several feet
deep was blown under the found;t-
ton of the building.
That any one escaped death is.
miraculous as all occupants of the
building were thrown from their
beds and in one instance the en-
tire side of the room in which
three persons were sleeping was
blowing out.
Sparato returned home yester-
day from Mt. Clemens, Mich
and conducts two shoe repair
shops about town. He has been 4
resident of Wellsburg for several
years.

COOPERATIVE FARM
ORGANIZATIONS

President Harding at Farm Confer
ence: American farmers are asking
for, and it should be possible to afford
them, ample provision of law under
which they may carry on in co-opera-
tive fashion those business operations
which lend themselves to that meth
or, and which, thus handled, would
bring advantage to both the farmer
and his consuming public. In coun-
tries where these facilities and oppor-
tunities have been afforded such CO.
operative organizations have been
carried to highest usefulness and are
recognized as aiding both farmer and
consumer. They make the farmers
selling price higher and the consum-
er's buying price lower.
"But when we shall have done this
the farmers must become responsible
for doing the rest. They must learT
organization and the practical pro
cedures of cooperation"

NEVADA'S NATIONAL
MONUMENT CREATED

BY a proclamation of President
Harding, signed January "a, a 593-.
acre tract in the Nevada National
Forest was set aside as the Lehman
Caves National Monument. For rs
years these caves have been known
locally, and for some time individuals
have been trying to gain control of
them, but the action of the chief ex-
ecHtive realms them safely for all the
people and prevents the destruction
of the many objects of scenic and
scientific value. The area remains a
part of the national forest, but the
monument can be used for on pur-
poses that interfere with its preser-
walton as a national monument. 1t
is the eleventh national monument to
be established in a national forest
and the first one in Nevada.
The act providing for the preserv-
alton of such areas, that Of June ,
1906, authorizes the president, in his
discretion, to declare by public proc
lamation to be national monuments
historic landmarks, historic and pre-
historic structures, and other objects
of historic or scientific interest that
are situated upon lands owned or
controlled by the government. The
establishment of a monument pre-
vents the removal of any objects of
interest except under the authority
of the secretary of agriculture.
The Lehman Caves are six miles
west of Baker, White Pine county
Nevada, at the base Of Mount Wheel
er and at an elevation of 1920 feet
They are in a light grey and white
limestone formation on the eastern
slope of the mountain. They contain
stalactites and stalagmites, columns
and galleries of rare beauty that have
inspired the epople Of the locality tt
apply to the various parts of the
caves such fanciful names as The
Pearly Gates, the Cyress Swamp, Thu
Portiere, Liberty Column, The Para
chutes, Washington's Column, Palac,
of the Gods, Pygmalion and Galate;
1.-TWO columns), Cathedral of Rest
Eagles Gate, The Snow Queen of tn

Column, and Niagara Falls.

CALGARY CATTLE AND
WINNIPEG WHEAT

Alberta Province, Canada, seems to
have done pretty well in 1921 in sell
ing its products to the United States,
Notwithstanding the Fordney emer-
gency tariff law. According to a re-
port from Winnipeg, Alberta exports
of cattle and -four to the United States
have increased. From the Calgary
district alone 1851 head of cattle
were sent to us in 1921, valued at
$1,132,00O, compared with 1891 head
IN 1890. Last year 103,2l6 sacks OF
-four we're shipped from the Calgary
district to US, valued at $452,995, com
pared with Sc, 152 sacks in 1920. "How.
ever, the total exports from this sec
ton 10 the United States droppes
from $6,S26.219 in 1920 to 1918,
$50 last year, the emergency bin be
ing responsible in large measure,
says the report. More than likeI.
this value decrease was due Ia great
er measure to the general decline I
prices which hiss been worldwide.

of the editorial in your issue of Feb
ruary 9Th, with reference to the city
management. / feel that there is Sc
we're criticism due the commission
ers and more might be said of the
matter than you stated.
AS a long resident of the city Of
Bozeman, during which time l have
always borne my share of the burden
of city expense and paid a goodly
sum in taxes( { felt the change in
governmental form would be a big
improvement. l worked for the sue
cess of changing to the commission
form of city government with the
view of having a purely business ad-
mInistlNtbnA Things have started
off as though we were not going to
get it.
In the first place, it was asserted
by those who first brought the new
form of government to our atten-
iont, that the city manager would
be a man from outside the city who
did not have any friendships or other
connections locally. A man was tC
be employed who could be free to de
the things we all wanted done tC
give better government and save tht
city money. AS you stated in youl
editorial, we are right back where
we were a year ago. This does MOI
suit me, and / know of many other:
in Bohemian who are also dissatisfied
who will be glad to see the city 81
back to the old form if what We have
had so far is the best to be expected
under the present system.
Had a city manager been employed
who was competent to fill the posi-
ton, who was a stranger to the city
as was understood would be done
then the present unsatisfactory sit
.cn would not have developed.
feel the citizens of BOzeman shoulc
not hesitate to show the commission
ers they do not approve of the meth
DDS so far followed. For myself, i
what we have had so far is a sampl
of commission form of city govern
ment, / have had all I want of it.

w. II. C.

The Bozeman Courier, Bozeman,
Montana:
I read your criticism of the APP
pointments made by the city manager
with considerable pleasure. 1 think
you stated the case lust right. There
is every reason for the people of
Bohemian feeling disappointed in the
way the city has been managed since
changing to this new form of a COM
mission government.
The women Of the city, at least
those with whom 1 have talked,
wanted to see the new kind of gov
eminent, wanted it so that the old
clique that had been running the
town so long would be done away
with. That was why it was expect
| ed some n who was not a Bozeman
man would be hired as city manager
But we see the whole thing going
just the reverse of the promises made
before the election. 1t looks like al
attempt is being made to make people
dissatisfied with this new form Of
city government.
If the city is to be run by a few
and run without consideration for thu
best interests of the whole town, an,
the same men must be put In tn
same offices all the time, then Their
is no need of the new form of cit
government. The women of the tow
voted strong for the change, and j
necessary they can vote just as stron
for another. 1 hope your paper wi
keep at this until the commission
ers realize the seriousness of tn,
matter and correct their ways.
Sincerely yours,

CAN'T CANCEL.

The debt refunding bill contains
the significant clause that "this act
shall not be construed to authorize
: = = cancellation of any part
Of such Indebtedness except through
payment thereof" Congress is still
as thoroughly American as it was
when the eLague of Nations was re

cancellation of the $1,000, 100000 for

THE PEOPLES FORUM

Bohemian, Mont, Feb. 10, 1922.
Editor Weekly Courier, Bozeman,
Montana:
Dear Sir-I take this opportunity
to commend you on your editorial
on "City Management" appearing IN
this weeks edition of the Courier.
1t is very regrettable that enc
commissioners did not use more dis
erection in their choice of the man who
is to "sit at the helm" and guide US
through the first stages of our new
form of government; some n who
would disregard politics and gbOy4
hood friendships in his choice OF
men for the various departments of
eur city.
1 voted for and worked for the
commissioner-manager form of gov
eminent, believing that it would elm
mate any favoritism or partiality in
any business dealings connected with
municipal affairs; / feel like some
one who has been rudely awakened
from a pleasant cream; if it should
come to a vote again, / will work as
hard against it as l did for it this
time.
The very men who have been re-
placed by our new manager are the
same ones who were the issues at the
last mayoralty election, and l thought
the people expressed their opinions al
that time in no uncertain name
/ understand that this man has d
certain period in which to "make
good" Let us hope everything will
turn out for the best.
Respectfully,
G. D. C.
