Man Injured in Cascade County

Helena, Sept. 6.-Concluding n OF
the most difficult cases the state IN

final settlement has just been mace
with William III. Dipley, who was m
jured in a mine at Hughesvllle, oas-
cade county, Nov. 25, 1921. while IN
the employ of the Block Z. Mining
company. Dipley was caught oeneatn
a cave-in and was struck in the small
of the back by a large rock. This re-
suited in a hemorrhage of the spine
and he became permanently disabled,
being unable to turn over In pea or 10
help himself in any way.
Dipley was removed to a hospltai
in Great Falls where he was cared
for until his wife arrived from Mis-
souri, and Chairman Jerome e.. Locke
arranged with her to take him back
to Missouri in the hope that expert
medical attention would to some ex-
tent relieve his disability. The wife
~endeavored to obtain lump settlement
with the board but this vas denied
her.
No beneficial results were obtained
and Dipley was finally placed in a hos
pital in Missouri. His wife left him
and obtained a divorce. The board
then undertook the difficult task OF
finding someone who would guarantee
his maintenance and care in the future
as he still has 80 years of life ex-
pectancy.
After months of effort some dis
tant relatives were located who have
been induced to undertake the care OF
the helpless man and give assurance
| that he will not be left as a public
charge after his compensation pay
ments are exhausted. In furtheranct
with the plan for his permanent care
the board has made a final lump sun

THE VALUE OF L

Benyenuto Cellini himself, is today in
almost as perfect condition as when it
left the makers hands. 1t was once
owned by the distinguished Swedish
artist, Ole Bull, who had a large col
lection of ~violins, and at his death In
this country it passed into the posses
sion of a wealthy amateur. As Gas
pard da SaIo is credited by most au-
thorities with being the inventor Of
the first voilin some time about 1850.
this is probably the most aged instru-
ment in existence. Needless to say,
it is worth q fortune, although its chief
value is as a curiosity and not for the
quality of it's tone.
The majority of the Stradivarius
violins in existence, however, have a
practical as well as an aesthetic value,
standing the strain of constant use by
some Of the worlds most celebrated
~violinists. The cheapest unchanged
Strad is valued at $4,000, while ever
the cheapest damaged instrument
turned out by the greatest violir
maker who ever lived is worth $1,000
A genuine Strad in excellent condition
recently imported from Europe to this
country was valued at $4,000.
The average commercial violin o.
modern make, on the otneh manu-, seiii
for $50. The reason for this differ
ence in price is not the mere matter o
age but of workmanship. In spite O.
occasional alleged proofs to the con
trary, it is impossible for moder,
makers to equal the superb craftsman
ship of the Cremona school of the six
teenth and seventeenth centuries
whose instruments are eagerly sough
| by connoisseurs on account of thei
! richness of tone, which experts at
| tribute largely to the flexibility of tn
wood used in their construction.
That is, some experts do. Other
contend that the supremacy of tn
old Italian violins rests chiefly on tn.
yarnish, the secret formula for whicl
remains one of the great medieva
mysteries, like the unknown pigmen
which was used in the stained glas
windows of the early c~athedrals.

SURPLUS LAWS.

CECRETARY of War Weeks has
- some views on the subject OF
legislation and law observance that
seem to us to bear the stamp OF
common sense. In a recent maya
zine article he says: I'VE have an
invincible tendency to seek the at
tainment of perfection by means OF
legislation. We say that all men
should be good and perfect; then
we pass laws to make them so and
proclaim that the job is done. We
not only weaken the authority OF
government by acting on an i'm
practicable ideal and enacting i'm
possible laws in. harmony there
with, but we carry out Don Quixot-
ism so far that we weaken public
respect for law by reason OF the
nature of the law. The prohibition
law constitutes a case in point
And again: 1--WE have so many
laws that nobody can possibly
avoid violating some of them, I'M
less he spends all of his time study
ing them to find out what they
mean, and others are so absurd or
ridiculous that they invite viola
ton. We need fewer laws, more
law enforcement and more respect
for law; and the last is largely a
product of the first two"
There is a world of truth in
these remarks. 1t would be a great
public gain to the state OF Mon
tana if two-thirds of the laws in
the statute books of the state could
be repealed at one time, and no
new legislation enacted in their
place. And yet the popular way
to catch votes as a rule is to prom
Use some new legislation to cure
some real or imaginary evil, or to
put money in the pocket OF some
class of citizens by taking 1t out OF
the pocket of other citizens. We
have too many laws and too much
class legislation, and they do not
even operate as their own authors
thought they would operate. they
are often useless as well as bad.

Quincy railroad at Benteen. Wyoming,
from which point they were trallea
overland to the ranch to be turned out
on the ranges for grazing.
The cattle, according TO Mr.. Mclean
were in fine shape on their arrival.
This shipment of cattle from the
south increases the number 2,oOo head
that have been brought from the south
so far this year.
It is accepted as the first step to
be taken in connection with the re
stocking of the ranges of southeast

runner of other shipments which will
be undertaken by the stockmen of this

THE VOTE FOR CHARLIE
PRAY.

NNE of the features of the late
~ senatorial primary that caused
a good deal of comment in these
parts was the heavy vote tor
Charlie Pray in the republican pri-
mary. Carl Riddick had all the in
fluence of the republican admins
tration at Washington back OF him,
and Wellington Rankin had all the
influence of the political machine
of Governor Dixon and also the
political machine of the Anti-Sa-
loon League back of him, but
Charlie Pray had no backing but
his own reputation in the state to
helm him. and he came into the
race at a comparatively late date,
after the political lines had been
set. He was certainly the most
deserving candidate on the repub-
lican senatorial ticket, though he
was defeated. Yet Mr.. Pray and
his friends have certainly a right
to be gratified with the race he
made under so heavy handicap.
The Bozeman Daily Chronicle,
commenting on the fact that he
carried Gallatin county, says:
THE republicans and democrats
of Gallatin county have no apollo
eies to offer. Charles Pray car
ried the county for the republican
nomination for United States SEN
ator. and Tom Stout carried it for
the democratic nomination for that
office.
"A peculiar thing, too, was the
fact that nearly every voter-re-
publican and democrat-who voted
for either Stout or Pray declared
that the state would be ably and
sensibly and well represented II
either man were to be nominated
, and elected. The Pray men were
complimentary in their remark
about Stout. The Stout supporters
we're equally complimentary II
their remarks about Pray.
THE unfortunate thing about II
was that the rest of the state OF
Montana failed to view the situa'
ton in the same light as the voter:
of Gallatin county.
"In many counties, men who &C
knowledged that Pray was the pes
candidate or the republican side
went to the polls and voted fo'
Riddick to beat Rankin, or 10
