COWBOY BUNK
FROM MONTANA
MONTANAN SPILLS A LOT OF
FOOL PESSIMISM ABOUT
WESTERN N. d.

Chas Mccarthy. OF Helena, Mont.
gave out an interview concerning
the future Of Western North Da
kota and EASTERN Montana, as {
farming section, whrie on a visit tt
Jmestown recently. His outlook i
just as fallacious as it is pessimis
tic. He saws:
western North Dakota and
the greater part or eastern
Montana should never be farm
ed as an agricultural section of
our country. The small farm
er that took up a homestead,
expecting to make good liv-
ing, and get ahead with grain
farming is mostly broke. The
seasons are against him as this
region of Montana and west
ern South and North Dakota
has always been a stock range
and always will be, with only
an occasional year when grain
crops can be raised. This
whole country was q buffalo
range, grazing country, and
grass Is the main crop. At least
that is the conviction now Of
thousands of men who were in
duced to take up homesteads,
and undertake to farm the land
but have been forced to aban-
don their claims on account Of
repeated crop failures.
''It looks to me like simple
foolishness for a government
or the state of North Dakota
or anybody else to put out
money for seed in the Bad
Lands or in most of east
ern Montana. 1t is just throw
ing good money after bad. and
taking a risk in which nearly
every chance is against sue
cess"
The truth is that the section re
ferred to by Mccarthy is today pro
ducing cattle by the hundreds o.
thousands more than it did in the
palmiest days of the convoy and th'
and of a far superior
quality. The dairying industry has
had a tremendous growth in thu
western counties and corn, potatoes
clover, and crop rotation is rapidly
becomign the settled order of farm
ing. .
or course, the forced change" il
a great hardship to a lot of farmers
who were unprepared-in fact, II
has proved fatal to many. But thai
does not mean that the western
will again become the hab
ital of the hardriding cowboy. Il
only means that stern necessity il
forcing the farmers out here tx
change to diversified farming. Oul
soil is not as rich and deep as II
the Valley counties, but we have
other advantages: - our soil Il
warmer. better for corn and We
have all the Ignite coal needed, us
ually as an out-croppine on thu
farms.
The writer who visited nearly
every western county in the stat'
last year as an emplove of the Banl
of North Dakota, is convinced tha
this section has grand future, ani
is prepared to make the following
rather paradoxical forecast:
Unless the farmers Of the ex
ceedingly rich Red River valley ant
Lake Region counties look to theil
laurels they will be outstripped il
the race by their drauthstricken
mortgage-burdened brothers on
west.
Here we HAVE to change; bacl
there they are well enough fixed
and their soil is rich enough 81
they can gamble on wheat few
years longer.

BIG SEND=OFF
FOR THE EDITOR
BOWBELIlS TURNS OUT EN-.
MASSE TO SAY GOODBYE"
WHEN EDITOR GOES

Good-Bye Stef' was not merely
the expression of few individuals,
but it became the expression of the
entire community on Saturday even
ing when Bowbells and vicinity
turned out en-masse to say good
bye and good luck to their friend
the editor, who was about to leave
Bowbells after eleven years of good
and faithful work in their midst.
When it was learned that Mr..
Stefonowicz had purchased the
Devils Lake World and was prepar-
ing to leave Bowbei1s for a larger
field, the community spirit asserted
itself and it was decided to give
him rousing send-off. For this
purpose Fraternity Hall was en-
gagged and an elaborate program of
ings and speeches prepared. The
entire community was behind the
move and practically all the people
of the town turned out to shake
the editor by the hand and wish
him success In his new field.
The program included music by
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry White, singing
by Mrs. Donovan and Mrs. Hilgen-
dorf, readings by Helen Bogus,
Marie Speer and Irene Kopriya and
several excellent selections by
Melby's orchestra.
Rev. Father Otto Weisser was
chosen to deliver the speech express
ing the community's appreciation of
the departing newspaper man. He
said that Mr.. Stefonowicz had
helped to carry the mutual civic
burdens here for eleven years, and
that he had found in him many
traits to admire He referred to
the old truth that often we do not
fully appreciate our friends utnil
they are gone. A life is like a
wonderful painting, said the rever-
end father-if we get too close to
it, it looks like daub, and we have
to stand off and view it from dis
tance in order to appreciate it's
real worth. In closing, he extend
ed the community's wishes for fu-
ture success, and for the same mea-
sure of friendship and goodwill
that has always been manifested
here.
In reply, the editor expressed his
dee, appreciation of what had been
done for him, but as he wasn't quite
able to control the vibration of his
voice, the speech was cut rather
short.
= For the rest of the evening the
men took charge Of the editor and
put him on the grill, telling him
what moose Of a Fellow he mign:
have been If it wasn't for his short
comings. In this line Of persifage
"Stef" sustained his reputation and
was more than able to hold his own.
Coffee and lunch were served by
the ladies and the card tables were
set going, but bit later the young
folks shooed the card players off
the main floor and spent delight-
full hour in dancing.

Big Four Opposed

Cincinnati July 29-The proposed plan for settlement of the nation wide railroad strike was attacked today by H. A. Worcester, vice. president of the Big Four railroad system. who de- clared that if the striking shopmen were granted seniority it would mean that the railway executives had lied" to the new men when they were en- gagged to fill the places of the striking shopmen.
 The message closely followed an an nouncement by L. F. Loree, president of the Delaware and Hudson and chairman of the eastern railroad presidents conference that he had sent telegrams to U. s. Senators Wadsworth and Calder of New York. declaring the president has made / effort to inforp himself as to the po- sition of more than 175,00o shopmen now on the railroads payrolls whose interests are vitally at stake.
 More than 5000 of these men are in your own state" Mir. Loree's mes sage to the senators. Naturally they will look to you to see that their in- .erests are safeguarded.

Plan Details Withheld

Washington, July 29. Details of the rail strike settlement plan drawn up by President Harding considered at separate meetings of railroad ex- executives and union officials at New York and Chicago next Tuesday were still withheld today but the president was said to feel that they offered a basis upon which the two sides should be able to come to an early agree ment.
 After announcing that the general strike committee of the shop crafts union on strike would be convened in Chicago to consider the proposals on the same day the rail heads meet in New York for that purpose, B. M Jewell, leader of the shopmen and in- ternational officers of the unions left here for Chicago last night apparently prepared to recommend favora ble ac- tion by the committee. That the spokesmen of the rail executives who have conferred with the president would have the same favorable rec ommendation 10 make, however, ap- peared improbable today with the seniority issue looming in that quarter as the doubtful point.

 AFTER THREE YEARS

Previous to his Westville escape Danshire had been arrested in Springfield twice and in Baltimore once.
 May Have Planned Delivery.
 When 1t was found that Danshire had revolver. which was of .32 cali bre, it was assumed that violence to some members of the prison force was the motive. The night force of the prison was at once summoned and thorough search of the prison grounds both outside and inside the wall and of the prison itself Is now being conducted. It Is thought Dan shire may have secreted drugs or tools for jail delivery before making his daring attempt to enter the build ing.
 Examine Prisoners.
 Prisoners are also being closely ex amined in order to ascertain whether or not Danshire had an accomplice and the state police are on the look out for suspects on the outside.
 It was found that Danshire had scaled the wall on the outside by using a ladder which he had ob tained near the prison and had tied a rope to the railing that runs along the top of the wall to let himself down on the inside.
