MUTUAL DISTRUST
DIVIDES EUROPE,

In Feud Atmosphere,
He Declares.
FIR ANCE HOPELESS
Ready to Accept Challenge
Seen in Russo German
Alliance.
By FRANK H. SIMONDS.

Since my return from France l
have been asked again and again
for some comprehensive statement
Of conditions as they appear at the
present moment from the Paris
viewpoint. In complying with this
request here, l find myself at once
confronted by two wholly different
sets Of circumstances: BY the al
most desperate political conditions,
concerning which l did not in six
weeks in the French capital hear
a single hopeful word; and the
equally unmistakable Improvement
in the minor details, in the things
which are not within the care of
the statesmen, hut are the private
concern of men and women.
Politically anG fiscally, there Is
no mistaking the present situation
in Europe. You have only to pass
through London or Paris to feel
that not only has the disintegra-
tion been tremendous in the three
years which separate Versailles
from Genoa. but that at the pres
ent moment the disruptive pro-
cesses arc working more rapidly
than at any time since the close OF
the war.
Mutual Distrust Dominates.
Dominating everything else in
the European problem is the mu-
tual distrust which today divides
practically all peoples-in fact one
can only make exceptions by de-
grees. And hardly second to this
phenomenon OF international dis
trust is that Of national suspicion.
1t is not merely that nations are
divided by ancient grudges and
rivalries, brought to new vitality by
contemporary events, but inside the
political chstnbers of the psrlia-
ments of all European countries
and perhaps most consplcuously in
Britain, France and Germany, the
three most important nations, the
business of government is con-
Quoted in the atmosphere OF a Ken
lucky blood feud.
Americans, with memories Of the
Washington conference still in
mind, have looked at the Genoa af-
fair as having something of the
same possibilities and approximately

in which such work is done becomes
a local agricultural college. 1t be-
comes the center of all the agricul-
tural activities of the county. The
man who is at the head of this work
is a trained agriculturist. He knows
the best practices of farming in Mon
tana. He is on the job twelve months
of the year. He belongs to the tax
payers of the county in which he
works.
Permit us to cite some things that
are now being done by upwards of
thirty men employed to teach voca-
tional agriculture. One man this
winter was called out at eleven
o'clock at night to look after a sick
horse. Stock are vaccinated against
blackleg; seed is tested for germina-
ton; farm machinery is repaired;
the automobile is overhauled in the

their cream at the school Powell
county high school is the best ex-
ample); poultry is culled; milk is
tested; assistance is given to rural
school teachers; community meetings
bearing upon various phases of agri-
culture are held; specialists from the
college are brought to the counties
to work with the farmers; farmers
short courses from two to five days
in length are held at the school; unit
courses in dairying, poultry, farm
bookkeeping; tillage and summer fal-
low methods are held; bulletins are
distributed to the farmers; through
the newspapers the farmers are in
formed of agricultural doings; boys
and girls club work is conducted
der careful supervision; livestock is
brought in to the community; assist
ance is given to various farm organi-
cations; the farmers are assisted in
organizing (Wibaux county is the
best example,.
These are a few of the ways in
which a vocational department of ag-
riculture functions in a high school.
The work of the Fergus county high
school at Lewistown under the dir
ection of Principal F. l.. Cummings
and Instructor j. w. Gray, would re-
quire more space than this entire
article if the agricultural work of this
school were to be written up. 1t must
be remembered that this kind OF SER
vice is given free to the people of the
state. For a school to employ an ag-
ricultural instructor, someone will
perhaps complain that it will increase
the tax levy for the school. Let us
see. The average salary paid such
a MAI is $4,000 per year. A study
of the salaries paid the teachers of
science, history, for
eign languages, reveals that these
range from $500 to $4,000 and
over for nine months work. No
doubt they earn this sum and more
but our contention is that the tax
payer has a right to demand that
the high school shall at least teach
one subject that fits directly for his
That there shall be a place
each county where the farmer can
get immediate agricultural service.
IN the process of elimination would
t not be well to consider the sub
jtitution of essentials for ~non-essen-
ials? Would it not be well to con-
;ider that a school is the servant

hose subjects which will assist in

Within go miles of Yellowstone
park by steamboat How would thai
sound in an advertisement to lure the
eastern tourist to Montana. This
was accomplished in June 6, 1875, by
the steamer Josephine piloted by Cap
tain Grant Marsh and chartered by
the United States government. AS
the result of this trip Lieutenant Col
onel j.. W. Forsyth reported 20 Gen
eral Phil Sheridan that the Yellow
stone river vas navigable for COM
mercial purposes as far as the mouth
of the Big Horn, while the second of
ficer of the expedition, Lieutenant
Colonel F. d. Grant, states that the
river was navigable to Pompey's Pill
lar, within 80 miles of the present
city of Billings.
Both officers declared that the yell
lowstone, owing to its gravel bed, its
stable banks and islands, and its free
dom from snags, offered a much bet
ter highway for commerce from Fort
Buford to the settlements of western
Montana than did the Missouri from
the same point to Fort Benton.

judgment as the advent of the rail

Nearly opposite the mouth of the
Big Horn, a small stockade vas
erected and a townsite laid out. The
founders of this post, which they
named Fort Pease in honor of the
chief of their expedition, F. D. Pease,
expected, like the builders of the
short-lived Musselshell or Kerchival
City, at the mouth of the Mussel-
she'll, to create a metropolis that
should eclipse Fort Benton in its
palmiest days. Pease and his asso-
viates expected to open a road be-

freight from steamboats, to

Benton.

When their number had been reduced

evident to the colonists that on

because of the inability of the Ana
conda company to market its copper
and zinc output, the necessity was
forced upon it to suspend operations,
which it is estimated cost the COM
pany $6,000,O 00.
During this same period, the
plants of the American Brass COM
pany operated upon a basis which
would have enabled the Anaconda
company to have produced 10000
900 pounds of copper and at least
100000 pounds Of zinc per month
during the entire period Of the shut
down, without any accumulation of
metal stocks. This would have en-
abled the Anaconda company to have
avoided the necessity for closing it's
plants, and resulted in the saving of
$4,000 600 in shutdown expense, and
would have been a stabilizing factor
in the economic condition of Mon
tana and of the entire copper indus
try.
''These in brief are some of the
which, in the judgment of the
board of directors, make the acquisi-
tion of American Brass stock a de-
sirable transaction, and which have
influenced the decision to authorize
its purchase for the Anaconda Cop
