Special to The Tribune.
Roundup, Aug. 11.-Fire first dis
covered in the roof of the building com-
pletely destroyed the machine shops at
No. 3 mine Of the Roundup Coal Mining
company and for a time threatened the
big tipple and other nearby structures.
The obsence of any wind at that hour is
perhaps the only thing that prevented
spread of the flames. The cause Of
the fire is unknown.
The building was covered with sheet
iron and it's interior was coated with
oil and grease from long use, adding
fuel to the flames and fastening com
plete destruction. Machinery and tools
are badly damaged. if not wholly ruined
and the monetary loss is considerable.
Included in the loss is an automobile
belonging to George Doris.
No. 3 mine is equipped with fire
fighting apparatus and the water sys-
TEN, without the pump, has a pressure
of about 20 pounds, but the fire had
gained such Roadway before aid arrived
that it's progress could not be stopped.
Members of the Roundup fire depart
ment responded to the call but were
unable to give material help.

hole through his head, the four year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry GAYLORD

pc. neighbors of the Gaylord family.
The gun used was a % caliber rifle.

pute arose. The nature of the quarrel
was not revealed by an investigation
which was conducted by County Attor-
ney G. F. Maris and Coroner NJ. A.

girl wen to her home and procured her
fathers rifle. also securing a cartridge

that nothing further be done. The
parents in both families are Frustrated
with grief.

MONTANA FOREST FIRES

CIXTEEN incendiary fires were
~ set the other day in the Koote-
mai national forests. This is an AS
ISOLATED Press dispatch from Wash
ington. We have been reading all
the while lately of forest fires in
western Montana that are burning
over hundreds of acres and destroy
ing valuable timber that is worth
millions of dollars. 1t takes thou
sands of men every year to fight
these fires. The aggregate cost is
enormous.
Regardless of what may be the
cause of these fires, the outstand-
ing problem is what a be done to
ave- some of this timber that is
being lost every year. The Tri-
bune is of the opinion that if one
half of the money expended in
fighting these fires were put out by
the government in the building of
good roads so that there could be
rapid transportation of men and
facilities for fighting such confla-
grations, that the value of the tim
Der destroyed could soon be cut in
half. 1t would be interesting to
know how much it really costs to
fight these fires. Something must
be done. People are swarming
more and more every year into the
forest reservations for recreation.
We note in some cases that men
are obliged to thread their own way
through the trackless forest and
impossible places to get into a po-
sition where they can combat the
destructive flames. 1t a be well
repeated over and over again,
Something must be done which has
not been done" Certainly a rea-
sonable expenditure of money
would make it possible to get into
the vicinity of forest fires much
more rapidly than can be done at
the present time. The remaining
untouched forests of this state have
a wonderful value. The question
has an importance for beyond what
is appreciated by the average citi-
zen. The state executives of Mon
tana may well give some attention
to this subject as we'll as the for
estry service and the general gov
eminent.

that congress may give or refuse at

There are a lot of items to this
settlement. In the first place there
are private debts due by Germany
to our citizens and private debts
due by our citizens to Germans
arising out of transactions in trade
before we went to war with Ger
many. Then there are damages due
by the sinking of American vessels
before the war by German subma-
rines-damages to life as we'll as
property. Some of these debts
were acknowledged by the German
government before the war and
payment promised. Then there are
claims of German citizens against
our alien property commissioner
for German private property seized
and sold during the war or after it.
Finally there is our government
claim of about a third of a billion
dollars paid out for the support OF
the American army in Germany for
which we have never received a
cent so far. These things can bet
ter be settled by three men than
by q discussion in congress-

Bank Robbery Fails
After Yeggs Succeed
in Dynamiting Wall

Special to The Tribune.
Bridger. Aug. 11.-Local officers
have been searching for safe crackers
who made an attempt to enter the
vault of the Bank of Frannie by drill
ing into the concrete wall and explod-
ing a charge of dynamite in the hole.
A portion of the wall was blown out,
but no opening was made through it
and the burglar or burglars evidently
became frightened or discouraged and
departed without further molesting the
property.
Designs to loot safety deposit boxes
evidently were behind the dynamiting,
as the banks burglar proof safe in
the banking room was untouched.
The explosion was heard by people
living in the vicinity but was mis-
taken for a gun shot, and the attempt
ed burglary was not discovered until
+. l.. Davis. cashier. arrived to open
the bank. Sheriff Wickwire was immc-
diately notified. but no clue as to the
identity of the yeggs has been obtained.
Authorities here believe the attempt
was made by the same person or per-
sons who several days ago tried to
rob the First State bank of Clyde Park
in the Shields River valley.

ACCOUNTS.

According to a cable from Ber-
lin the government of Germany and
of the United States has concluded
an agreement for a joint commits
sion consisting of a representative
from each country and a third man
as umpire to effect a settlement Of
all claims between the two coun-
tries. President Harding has ap-
pointed as umpire a judge of the
United States supreme court, JUS
tice Day, this being satisfactory to
the Germans.
Is is asserted at Washington that
this agreement is not a treaty, and
therefore does not have to be sub
mitted to the United States senate
for a two-thirds approval, which
it could probably never get. In fact
it is rather frankly admitted that it
is a method of whipping the devil
around the stump. 1t has all the
elements of a treaty except the
name. Negotiated through the Dip
lomatic representatives of each ma
ton and signed by their authodity
we do not see how it differs from
a treaty in any vital way.
No doubt some of the sticklers
for senatorial privileges and some
of the constitutional lawyers in the
senate will denounce this agree
ment. If it had been negotiated by
Woodrow Wilson they would have
made the welkin ring with de-
nunciations of executive usurpa-
ton.
But after all we think the country
has gained something by this decree
that keeps the agreement away
from congress. If it had ever gone
to the senate for ratification it is
doubtful if it would ever be rati-
fled, and at best the work would
have been postponed for at least
a year. Senator Borah who has
been one of the chief defenders of
senatorial privilege in such inter-
national agreements gives it his ap-
proval and says that there is pre-
cedent in the past history of our
diplomacy for such settlement of
foreign affairs without the partici-
patton of congress. In the final
analysis of the case congress will
no doubt have to give its approval,
for it will probbaly involve the pay
ment of money to Germany, and
that will require an appropriation

The bureau of Indian affairs of the

its charges to enter exhibits of their

the government for the Indian is prim-
arily to promote industrial activities
such as agriculture and stock raising,
and to educate the children, the revival
of the art work is approved because
it means increased independence of the
craftsmen.
Many Of the older Indians support

Tax Levy Reduced
Below 1921 Amount >
by Roundup Council
Special to The Tribune.

Roundup. Aug. 1.-THE tax levy
in Roundup this year will be one.half
mill less than last, and there will be
no special levies for fire equipment M
street work such as added to the total
of taxes paid in 1921. At the last
meeting of the city council the general
levy was fixed at 10 mills and 61a mills
was levied for the Newton judgment
and all sinking funds. Distribution of
the 10 mill levy to the various pur-
poses to which it is applied will be
made at a subsequent meeting.
Last year the levy was II mills and
there were in addition special levies
for the purchase of fire department
equipment and for street work. Mayor
Renshaw stated that a total of 10 mills
would cover all needs for 1929, but
that to offset possible d%elinquencies
and make certain of sufficient funds
to operate the city it would be well to
leave the levy at 1872 mills.

Red Lodge, Aug. 11.-Swept off his
feet while fishing in the swift waters
of the Clark's Fork river, just across

Lindsay of Bear Greek was carried
down the stream and drowned before

to reach him and render assistance.
The body was recovered the follow
ing day on a sandbar about a mile and
a half below the scene of the accident.
Although Lindsay, who was a powerful
swimmer, fell in water only two feet
deep, it is supposed that the rushing
current rolled him over and over so
rapidly that he had no chance to save
himself.

dollar purchased or paid on accounts
at the discretion of the merchant.
The name of the firm issuing must
be stamped on the back of each
ticket and name of the holder signed
on the face of the ticket. 1t is the
experience of several localities that
such an attractive prize is an in
