S~heepshearer's Body
Found Near Oswego;
Died From Exposure

Special to The Tribune.
Glasgow, May 17.-The body of NJ.
Blanchard, a sheepshearer. was found
by an Indian who was rounding up
some horses about a mile south Of
Oswego. The Valley county authori.
ties were notified. and Coroner Peter.
son, County Attorney Working and
Deputy Sheriff Hess left at once for
Oswego where a %coroner's inquest was
held.
The only thing found, that would
identify the dead man, was a union
card showing that Blanchard was a
member of the Sheepshearers' union
of Butte. The inquest brought out the
feet that Blanchard, who was little
known in that section, had borrowed
a horse from a rancher on the south
side of the Missouri river on April IS,
intending TO ride to Oswego. He evil
IDENTIFY had bad luck in crossing the
river, which at that time was very
high, and as nothing had been seen of
the horse and saddle since, the con-
c~lusion was reached that the horse
was drowned and Blanchard has sue
ceeded in landing himself. but being
exhausted, persisted of the cold and
exposure on his way into town.
The body was brought to Glasgow
and an attempt will be made to locate
relatives of the dead man.

To ORGANIZE
To PROMOTE ROADS
IN NORTH DAKOTA
Would Connect Roosevelt High.
way With Yellowstone
Trail From Montana.
Special to The Tribune.

WilIiston, N. D., May 1.-Two
meetings of great Importance in the
direction of highway development are
scheduled to be held in Williston Mon
day, May %.
One of these meetings is called for
the purpose of forming an association
to designate an international highway
planned to run from Regina. Sask.,
through the western part of North
and South Dakota to Denver, Colo,
connecting from north to south the
county seats of the counties through
which it passes. As tentatively located
in this state it enters the state from
Estevan, striking Noonan, thence to
Crosby, Alamo, Williston. Alexander,
Arnegard. Watford City. Grassy Butte,
Killdeer, Manning, Dickinson, New
England, Amidon and Bowman, and
thence to Buffalo. South Dakota.
The other meeting is called for the
purpose OF organizing to promote a
highway to connect the Roosevelt
highway at Williston with the Yellow
stone Trail at Glendive, Mont, the
proposed route passing through Tren-
ton. Buford, Mondak, Fairview, Sidney
and Savage. There are marked trails
on this route, but the object sought is
to make it one through highway with
uniform markings, and to make it a
federal and state aid project.
Responses to the calls sent out for
these meetings have been such as to
indicate that they will be we'll at
tended. From Estevan, Crosby, Bow
man and Bismarck have come express
sions of approval and assurances that
these cities will be represented.

perienced artists do. There is surpris-
ingly little meaningless music SUBJ
mitted.
One little girl, telling about her
manuscript, said that her father was
away in the north. In a letter he said
that he missed hearing the familiar
bird songs. So she wrote a song with
the bobolink notes carefully initiated in
the melody and sent it to him. This
song she had entered in the competi-
ton. She was in Miami. Florida, where
junior clubs in the United States.
Musical Memory Tests
Another device for making America
more musical is the music memory
test. These tests have been used in
some public schools and in music clubs
for several years. In some cities they
have been conducted as city wide con
tests for prizes. .
A list of 5 well known violin, piano
and vocal pieces is selected by q local
music committee, or obtained from the
Federation of Music clubs. which is
sponsoring the tests. These lists con-
tain such numbers as ITO a Wild Rose"
d~elssohn1; "Narcissus" (Nevin): I'm
dian Lament" (Kreisler-D vorak) !;
'Toreador Chorus" from Carmen
(Bizet); Rhapsody Number Two"
(Liszt); "Anitra's Dance (GrieR);
and Fifth Symphony" (Beethoven).
The list is made public and numbers
are played as often as possible for
the contestants during the weeks be-
fore the contest. For the test, a num-
Der of the pieces are played on a
graphophone and the contestants iden-
tify them as to the title and the COM
poser. In the Indianapolis schools so
many of the children learned to know
all the pieces listed that the contest
was not much of a competition. Even
after eliminating all papers with very
slight mistakes it was necessary to give
Is prizes.
The value of the music memory tests
is obvious. Acquaintance with a cheap
melody is interesting for only a few
weeks at most. No one goes around
humming the rag time of a few years
ago. The Toreador Song. on the other
hand. with it's gay, fascinating Tilt. is
worth remembering. 1t is just as easy
to learn as the latest jazz tune, and
once really learned, it is not easily for
gotten.

Malta, May lin view of the fact

continued cool weather may bring the

crop in a few days time. That grass
hoppers can be successfully fought
with poisoned bran has been proven
and a successful campaign against this
pest lies principally in quick action
at the proper time.
Inasmuch as accurate information
concerning the development of the
grasshooper situation in all portions
of the county is absolutely necessary.
each farm bureau community in the
county has appointed one man to act
in the capacity of official g~rasshopper
reporter TO the county agents office,
beginning about May 20. From this
date on each community will furnish
reports each week or 10 days. giving
the situation in detail, thus making ii
possible for the county agents office
to keep in touch with all portions of
the county and know the situation at
all times. Should the pest begin to
prove serious representatives from all
the communities can be called tagethcr
inside of two days time, if necessary.

SpeCtAl 10 u Tribune.
Kalispell, May 17.-Tbe Hon. John
NJ. Evans of Missoula, former repre-
sentative in congress from Montana,
spoke at the county high school Tues
day. Mr.. Evans spoke at length on
the question of disarmament and the
probability and effect of possible u
ture wars. In his talk he took occa-
sion TO emphasize the disparity in the
expenditure of public funds, showing
that of the expenses of the nation over
% per cent was used for wars, or
their incident expense in the way of
pensions, standing army and actual
cost of warfare itself, while only ap-
proximately Z per cent was diverted
TO the channels of education and re-
construction.
Mr.. Evans favors autonomy for the
Philippines, regarding them as a po-
tcntial source of international entan-
clement in the future.
Discussing the relationship which ed
ucation bears to the future conduct,
Mr.. Evans declared if he could die
tate the sentiment of the high schools
for a few years he could control the
destinies of the nation" but, he added.
the human animal is the most difficult
to teach
Mr.. Evans also seems to regard
the yellow peril" as something more
than a chimera, as he declared that be
could state without fear Of contradic-
ton that another war as disastrous
as the last would make the white races
subordinate in world control.

AUTOS INVOLVED
IN Is PER CENT Of
CROSSING M|SHAPS
Great Northern Makes Plans to
Participate in National
Campaign of Caution.
Special to The Tribune.

0pcCi0A " 4uC 4ElDuuc.
Havre, May &c. L. La Fountaine
Of st. Paul, general safety supervisor
for the Great Northern railway, ex-
planned the Careful Crossing" cam
paign which the American Railway as
ISOLATION is preparing to inaugurate on
June l and continue Il September 30,
to the safety committee of the local
Great Northern shops at a meeting
OF that organization Tuesday after
noon.
The slogan Of the campaign will be
"Cross Crossings Cautiously" and it's
purpose will be the prevention OF or
reduction in the number OF highway
crossing accidents involving railroad
trains, vehicles and pedestrians,
throughout the country, Mr.. La F'oun-
tame told the committee Tuesday.
The necessity and timeliness Of the
campaign was shown by the following
facts: In 80 years the population OF
the United States increased So per
cent. Crossing accidents increased
345 per cent in fatal and 652 per cent
in injury cases during the same period.
In 1920 automobiles were involved in
Is per cent of all these accidents.
During that year 1891 persons were
killed and SOFT injured, of the latter
number lie subsequently died from
injuries sustained at railroad crossings
within the United States.
Impossible to Remove Crossings
There are two ways to reduce or
Fountaine said. 'The first in the pub
lie mind is the elimination of the cross
ings by the establishment of under
ground or overhead passages. This is
impossible. All men and money avail
able would not be sufficient to remove
these crossings in a lifetime. Conser-
vative estimates of the average cost of
elimination fixed the figure at approx
mately $4,000 a crossing or a total of
s12. 800, 900, 900.
Apparently the solution of the prob
lem can be found in education" Mr..
La Fountaine continued pointing out
that the campaign for careful cross
ing which the national railway associa-
ton is launching is to educate the pub
lie to the dangers of crossings and the
means of preventing accidents.
Will Use Posters
Posters will be used to carry on
the campaign in all industries, clubs,
schools and other organizations and in
stitutions. The movement will be
backed by a message from President
Harding and will received the coop
Grafton Of the United States Automo-
bile Chamber Of Commerce, the Ma
tional Highway Traffic association,
the National Safety Council and num-
erous other organizations.
Railroads have learned the value of
an organized effort for safety and are
now e~ndeavoring to educate the public
rs well as their employees, Mr.. La
Fountaine said. The Great Northern.
he stated, holds the record of no
passengers killed in train accidents in
over four years.

Lewistown May 17.-Plans for a
pipe line to bring in the natural gas
from the Armells field to Lewistown
are taking definite form and it is ex-
pected that they will be made public
shortly. II the flow holds up, and it
is expected to increase, there appears
to be little doubt that such a line will
be put in. The distance would not be
over so miles and the plants already
in operation in this city and vicinity
would welcome the opportunity to use
natural gas for fuel.
