Hobo Trails Crowded

A tin a camp and q hobo

to Enforce
Auto Parking Rules

With parking signs now placed in all
parts of the city, the police will be
come more stringent in the enforce
ment of the parking ordinance. Chief
of Police Marcus Anderson said Mon
day. No arrests for violation of the
ordinance have been made for several
weeks because automobile Owners have
had no means of knowing what districts
were not available for parking.
Signs have been placed at points
within 40 feet of street corners. with
the section between the sign and the
corner restricted to parking. Signs
have also been placed in front of the
aters. calling attention to the fact that
no machines shall be parked in front
of the entrances.
The police. according to Chief of Po-
lice Anderson. will be especially active
in enforcing this feature of the ordi-
nance while theaters are open TO the
public.

RELICS AND MEMENTOS OF CIVIL WAR
MAKE INTERESTING WINDOW DISPLAY

To the student of history there
are few pages fascinating
than those that paint the story of
the days of 81. With the celebra-
ton of Memorial day this fascina-
ton is accumulated and the young
er generation will gather about the
Civil war veterans to hear the
stories of their adventures in a day
that lives only in their memories.
More enhancing than anything
that can ever be put in print is
this vivid RELIEVING of a history
making epoch. Odd bits collected
into an ensemble that is eloquent
of the Civil war, may be teen in
the window of Heyn & Kelley,
photographers.
A fluttering flag and a larger
flag draped across the back of
the window were the signals to a
hurrying and preoccupied public to
stop and gaze. Those who needed
the challenge cannot regret the
time they spent in contemplation.

Young soldiers who lost their lives
in the war of abolition, have the
allure that belongs to another age.
The straits to which many parts
of the nation was reduced in Civil

flag that meant surrender or post
ponement of a battle lies beside
the unique newspaper.

The rainfall record follows:

In May of this year, the rainfall IN
the Sun river valley was 20 inches and
the precipitation during the recent
series of rains was Is inches.
In commenting upon the significance
of the heavy rainfall this year, MIR.
Sanford said it was very promising for
a good crop.
Crops Follow Winter Rainfall
The essence of successful dry land
farming is in conservation of the
moisture" he said. The moisture that
is largely conserved is the moisture
that falls between October | and May
81 and this is a very important factor
in the growing of n crop although the
summer rainfall is also important.
Checking on the record of past years
will show that the crops have followed
very closely the winter rainfall al
though in some cases, notably in 1916.
the heavy summer rainfall made up
for the lower winter precipitation.
THE Fort Shaw records are just
about the same as would be taken over
a wide section of northern Montana.
The annual rainfall in Great Falls
would be slightly higher than for Fort
Shaw, probably about three inches
heavier"

The contest in last Tuesdays prim-
aries between Governor Ben W. Olcott
and State Senator Charles Hall for the
republication nomination for governor
of Oregon was a fight between the ku
Kiux Klan and those opposed to 1t,
according to w. L. Kirk. member of the
Oregon industrial accident commission,
who is in Great Falls. Senator Hall
was the alleged ku Klux klan candl-
date and Mt one time during the early
returns was thought to be nominated.
At the present time. Olcott is leading
by approximately 500 votes, and it is
said that Hall will contest the count.

the Ku Klux Klan's activities there was
aroused in Great Falls by the an

made that the Khan in Montana is

In the beginning of the primary cam

candidates for the republican nomina-

Governor Olcott, who had been adj

campaign was to drive 'alI Catholics,
Jews and negroes from the public
payroll, refused to entertain any of
their requests and made known his
stand that he was governor of all the
people of Oregon. regardless OF race
or creed. and that his campaign for re
nomination would be conducted on that
attitude.
Halls Vote a Surprise
A few days before election. members
of the Ku Klux Klan participated in a
night raid in a town in Oregon which
resulted in Governor Olcott issuing a
proclamation urging district judges and
peace officers to be unusually diligent
