Plans for the establishment Of a

circles, 1t was announced last night
by the American Society for the
Control of Cancer.
A tentative schedule of the .llnic

"It has been demonstrated by the
surgical experience of the last ten
years that cancer can be cured If
taken in time" said DR.. r. A. Mer.

committee. "A cancer, II has been

which annually tricks through

Large herds swimming the

SEEKS To BUY
V|RC|N|AN RAILWAY
Auto Magnate Said to Hold
Option on Road Built by
Henry n. Rogers.

NORFOLK, Va, Oct. Henry
Ford wants to buy the Virginian
railroad.
In fact, II is said on fairly good
authority that the automobile king
already has secured an option on the
property of the Virginian, and the
only thing left undone is the actual
signing of the papers and the paying
OF the money.
Ford has long sought deep water
terminal for the purpose of operating
steamers TO South America, where
the Ford company does a big busi-
ness. The Nirginian railroad owns
one of the most valuable water sites
on Hampton Roads. The railroad
company operates one of the largest
coal piers in the world in Hampton
Roads and has contracted for the
construction of a larger pier at a
cost of $4,000 900.
Representatives Of Mr.. Ford have
been here looking over the properties
of the Nirginian, and they have also
inspected the railroads holdings at
Victoria. Roanoke and in West Vir'
ginia.
The Virginian was founded by the
late Henry II. Rogers, of the Stand
ard Oil Company. 1t Is one of the
largest coal-carrying railroads in the
world. Ships of all nations come 10
its piers in Hampton Roads for coal
gargoes and to fill their bunkers.
The Virginian also operates passen-
ger and freight trains between Nor
folk and Roanoke and points in Fir.
ginia and West Virginia.

TIERNAN SUES HUSBAND FOR DIVORCE ON CRUELTY CHARGE
POulin Trial
Has Aroused
Entire State

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 7.
THE entire State has been
u stirred to high pitch by
the dramatic disclosures of
the Poulin trial, which were
brought to climax by the
refusal of the merchant to
submit to the blood test de-
manded by Professor Tiernan
to ascertain scientifically the
parentage of the child. Pro-
fessor and Mrs. Tiernan are
to consult specialists in Chi
cago in anticipation of an ap-
peal from the judges decision.
If the expressions of opin-
ion freely uttered by the i'm
mense crowds that have sur
rounded the courthouse are a
fair index to public opinion,
sentiment supports the teach
er in his insistence on a final
answer to the difficult ques-
tion.
Harry Poulin offered an
alibi to every specific charge
made by Professor Tiernan,
and the most-used alibi was a
fishing trip. He asserted that
he had never misconducted
himself with Mrs. Tiernan,
despite her confession, and
went on to say that every
time she had visited him his
own wife had been present.
When Poulin denied meet
ing Mrs. Tiernan on March
'16, she leaped from her chair
in the court and exclaimed:
"You lie! You are a liar,
and you know it."
At the same time Professor
Tiernan cried out:
"Perjurer! Arrest him.
Judge Ducomb had to threat
en- to clear the court before
order was restored.
Mrs. Poulin sat apart from
her husband in a cluster of
intimate friends, back near the
center of the courtroom.

WHEELER, EVANS AND LEAVITT sure
TOREPRESENT MONTANA IN CONGRESS
WHEELER WINNER OVER RIDDICK IN PRACTICALLY
EVERY PART OF STATE EVANS OUTSTRIPES
! MCCORMICK AND LEAVITT BEATS MOSS.

While even at this hour the returns
from the state are very incomplete,
the results are all known without
much question of doubt. Wheeler,
Democrat, for the United States Sen
ate; Evans, Democrat, from the First
district, and Leavitt, Republican, from
the Second district, will be MOntana's
delegation to the next Congress.
From the very earliest returns it
looked like landslide for Wheeler
in the senatorial race against Con-
gresham Riddick, his opponent.
Nothing like accurate figures are
available, but it is estimated that
Wheeler will have a lead Of from 12,-
600 to $4,000. The balance of the
state ticket went Republican.
In the First Congressional district
John M. Evans had all the best of it,
beating Mccormick in practically ev-
cry county, including MissOula coun-
ty, the home of the two men,. Evans
majority, while not as large as that
of Wheeler, is even larger In proper
tion to the vote cast, for while the
Wheeler vote counted included the
whole state, Evans vote included but
the one Congressional district.
In the Second district the vote is
much closer, but here the Republic

LITTLE FLOWING
Done IN VALLEY
Dry Weather of Early Fall and Now
the Snow Keeps Farmers Out
of Fields. Some Winter
Wheat Damaged.

The snow storm which started last
tuesday, and which continued until
Friday. was general throughout this
part of the state. In the valley the
snow was not uniform. Near the
mountains and in the Springhill coun-
try the snow fell to depth of almost
twelve inches on the level; it was
eight to ten inches deep in Bozeman,
whereas lower in the valley but a
couple of inches fell in some places.
Right after the storm the snow
went down some from the heat of the
ground, which is nowhere frozen, but
the continued cold weather has prac-
tically stopped all thawing and every
indication points to the snow stick
ing in all except the most favored
parts of the valley. While the storm
was of great benefit to the winter
wheat, which in some places has been
seriously damaged by the continued
dry weather, its continuance has been
a detriment to most of the valley, as
it has greatly handicapped fall plow-
ing. The dry weather up to the re-
cent storm has prevented practically
all fall blowing in the valley. Here
and there a farmer has turned up I
few acres of sub-irrigated bottom
land, but this has been the exception
rather than the rule, and today ther,

SPECIAL TRAIN
To SEE BIG GAME
Northern Pacific to Run Special to
Carry ROOters to MissOuIa for
State Football Classic.
Many Going.

Headed by the college band, with
colors flying and hopes high set for
a Bobcat victory, the students of the
Montana State College, accompanied
by many townspeople of Bozeman,
will journey to MissouIa Saturday to
see the annual gridiron classic of the
state. For years-it almost seems
without number-the college has been
striving to bring home the state
championship in football, and this
year it almost looks as though the
feat would be accomplished. Since
the Gonzaga game the interest In the
contest with Missoula has daily
grown, and it is expected that double
the number necessary to guarantee
the special train will make the trip
Saturday.
The plans are to leave Bozeman at
4 o'clock in the morning, on the
Northern Pacific, and to go the Hell
ena way to Missoula. Alumni of the
college living along the way have
been notified and it is expected that
many will join the train at Helena
and other points. The special trair
will arrive in Missoula at IL o'clock
It will leave for Bozeman at O'Clock
that night and is due to arrive here
Sunday morning at 8. Tickets SOLE
for the special will be good on th'
regular trains returning from Mis-
soula Sunday, thus giving those wh'
