FARMERS AFTER SEED LOANS

Probably several thousand farmers
in Montana will take advantage O1
the seed loan this year, if the Nc
Cumber bill, introduced as an emer.
gency measure to aid the farmers
who have suffered crop failures be-
cause of drought, passes the house
committee.
The bill as it was introduced pro-
vides for $5,000,000 to be appro-
priated for seed loans in communi-
ties where the crops last year were
less than five bushels to the acre,
and to dry land farmers whose crops
were destroyed by drought. 1t was
passed by the senate and received ia
vorable report by the house commit
tee, which reduced the amount of the
appropriation from $5,000,000 to ST.
100000.
Due to press notice that the bill
had passed the senate, county agents
have been besieged with visitors and
letters from farmers wanting to
know when they can get the money.
If the bill passes the house, which
it most likely will, it must then be
referred to the secretary of agricul-
ture, who will arrange for the dis
tribution of the loans The matter
will probably not be definitely set
tied until April /, and the farmers
will be notified when the loans are
available.

P. M. AT CAPITOL
is A BUSY BIRD
HENRY j. BARKER is MAN WHOM
UNCLE SAM APPOINTED TO
SORT STATEHOUSE MAIL.
Forty Offices and Departments at
State Building at Helena Get Let
ters and Papers Through His Of
flee, Which Was Established
Eight Years Ago.

There probably is no more accurate
barometer of the volume of Mon
tana's governmental affairs than the
sub-station postoffice conducted in
the state house in Helena by Henry
]. Baker, the state house postmaster,
who is accredited by capitol officials
with performing the most efficient
service in that capacity since the
state house postoffice was installed
on the ground floor of the capitol
building eight years ago.
Forty offices and departments in
the capitol building are served in the
transmission of state official mail
through this sub-station postoffice
Situated throughout the building are
IL stations, points from which Post
master Baker gathers the outgoing
mail daily at IL a. m. and at p. M,
except on Sundays. Sacks of mail are
sent out from the capital postoffice
three times daily, at a. M, at 1 p.
M, and at p. m. Before it departs
the capitol mail is sorted and bundled
by Postmaster Baker, according to
outgoing mail trains.
Each day there leaves this sub-sta-
tion three filled pouches of outgoing
first-class mail and from three to
six filled pouches of second-class
matter, somewhat in excess to the
amount of incoming mail. Included
in the ''in and out" capitol mail,
there are daily from 80 to 100 reg
istered letters and from 20 to so
pieces o Ensured mail. To handle
the mail in the state house Post
master Baker stated that he sells
from 500 to $3.50 worth of postage
stamps each month and from 1000
to 5000 envelopes, post cards and
paper wrappers. Letters in and out
Of the sub-station without sufficient
postage attached cause the sale of
from SO to SIS worth of postage due"
stamps each month. In the wrap
ping and tying of this mail from six
% ten balls of twine are used |
Postmaster Baker took office on |
July 1, last year, after having been
recommended for the place by the
tate board of examiners and ap-
'ointed by the president. His office
s under the jurisdiction of the fed
raj postal department and the main
'ostoffice in Helena, the latter fur
fishing the supplies for the state
Iouse sub-station. Mr.. Baker, in as
uming the office, was given no op-
'ortunity to become familiar with
he duties. Possessed with natural
usiness ability, however, he soon,
mastered the details, and
oday is accredited with being a
thoroughly efficient and courteous
tate capitol official.

LAWYER HAD TO TURIN ACTOR TO COLLECT
FEE FROM FAMOUS TRAGED1AM, BAMDN@AMM

But the stage hands and boys il
the wings put up a job on Denny.
They sawed the legs of the chail
into which he was to fall. Wher
Denny collapsed, the chair collapsed
with him, and doctor and chail
crumpled into confused heap on the
floor. A voice in the audience, whom
1. G. says he recognized as Tom
Marshall, exclaimed in a high falsetto
voice through the impressive silence:
Good Lord, he busted the chair. y
The audience roared with laughter.
The spotlight boy, who should
have been on the job to show the tri-
umphant Hyde standing over the
body saying, gleefully, Dead, dead,
dead" reniged completely and the
curtain went down on a badly fumb-
led climax. Denny had a broken rib,
but it was nothing as compared to
Bandmann's wounded professional
pride.
He almost tore out nhis false hair
and he swore in all the classical
tongues known to realms of higher
dramatic art. However, the accident
was more deplored by the star than
by the audience, who enjoyed the
humor of the situation and felt they
were getting better performance
than was originally planned.
THAT night" says DENNY, impress
sively, "I retired from the stage. Few
actors have had so brief career
and few had such gifted associate
as I. Bandmann made enough to pay
his taxes. After much controversy,
l got SIS on account, but the old man
didn't forgive me for several
"Bandmann was great actor and
a great genius. His colorful person.

even his very faults, were fit objects
for the admiration of the layman. His

To have trod the boards with Band
mann is distinction few Motana
men can claim. Attorney 1. G. Denny
was one of Herr Bandmann's cast in
that celebrity's presentation of Or.
Jeckyl and Mr.. Hyde" in Missoula
many years ago. AS told by the
genial dean of the Silver Bow Law
school, it is a much better story than
when reduced to writing, for Mr..
Denny is splendid story teller
Mr.. Denny it will be remembered,
was law partner of Joseph M Dixon
in Missoula in the early days, and it
was as solicitor" (Bandmann's ia
vorite name for lawyer), that Denny
became intimate with the veteran
tragedian. The expression of solici-
tor was not inappropriate, because
Judge Denny explains that it was his
constant necessity to solicit Band
mann for fees in the payment of
which the thespian-ag agriculturist was
most alarmingly remiss.
The visionary veteran of the stage,
who, after notable successes in
Europe and America, determined to
settle in the environs of Missoula, has
furnished column after column of
feature stories for the Montana press
in the golden age of Montana's
journalism-when feature stories
were written for Sunday editions and
artists illustrated the work.
To Pay Taxes.
Bandmann's career as a rancher
was not marked by any conspicuous
financial triumph. Indeed, far from
paying his attorney, Bandmann was
telling Denny that he had no money
to pay his taxes. I. G. suggested that
Bandmann put on a show in Mis-
soula, in the secret hope that out of
the box office receipts he might get
a payment on his bill for legal serv-
ices. The suggestion came to the
actor like an inspiration. Grasping

Court Hears Arguments

The state supreme court heard ar
guments last week on the constitu-
tionality of the law passed by the
last legislature prohibiting the man
ufacture of carbon black from Mon
tana natural gas. The case is an ap-
peal by the Gas Products company
which owned large carbon black
factory at Baker, from a decision of
the Lewis and Clark court upholding
the statute, which prevents the use
of natural gas for making carbon
black on the ground that it is a waste
of gas.

Open Bids for State Buildings

AL Miles City on April the state
board of examiners will open bids
for the construction of a gymnasium
to cost $4,000 together with other
new buildings totaling cost of $780,
90 for the state industrial school
at that city. On Monday, April 10,
the board expects to open bids in
Helena for the construction of new
buildings at the state Orphans Home
at Twin Bridges to cost $4,000.
Later bids will be opened for new
building at the state school for the
feeble minded at Boulder to cost
100000, and also for the compile
tion of the Metallurgical building at
the State School of Mines in Butte.
This last building was started three
years ago, and so far has cost $780,

WILL GO TO FORD
WITH FARM TOOL
HAVRE MAN HOPES TO INTEREST
FLIVVER KING IN IMPLEMENT
FOR CONSERVING MOISTURE
Machine Dragged Behind Plow VIII
Leave Groove in Sub-Soil Which
Is Designed to Act as Storage Tank
to Hold Early Moisture From
Spring Rains Till Dry Days.

Henry Hales, a local inventor ex-
poets to leave soon for the east TO
present tool invented to aid in the
conservation of moisture to the at
tentlon of Henry Ford, with view
to it's manufacture. Hales has had 35
years experience in farming and he
has invented machine, which his
friends claim, will revolutionize the
industry in the more arid districts
of the country.
The machine is designed to con-
serve and hold the moisture of the
early spring rains SO that it may
prove of benefit to crops in the grow
ing season. 1t is so constructed that
it may be attached behind a plow.
1t leaves a groove in the subsoil
which will act as a storage tank to
hold the early moisture in the ground
for the nourishment of plant life
later on and thus insure crop which
might otherwise be failure.
Hales has designed his machine
so that the depth of the cutters may
be adjusted to suit the character of
the ground. The adjustment is made
by means of a lever which secures the
cutters at the desired depth and the
'V' shaped groove that has been made
will be filled in with the loose mould
all in one operation.
After the soil has been worked
over once, the cutters may be set
down to their full depth. This would
be done when preparing the ground
for the second crop.

Denny's hand he exclaimed, thea
trically:
ut shall be done-it shall be done
and my good fellow, you will play
a part. Future generations will write
it into your biography that you once
trod the boards with Bandmann."
This was more than Denny bar.
gained for, but in order to help mat
ters along he consented. Bandmann's
! talent was known and appreciated al
over the state, and he usually played
to good houses in any part of the
west. The public was educated up tc
stars in those days-and many no.
tables of the mimic world had played
in Montana. Indeed, since those
days the drama has suffered a
pitiable decline in the west.
No Way Out.
Bandmann put on "Dr. Jeckyl and
Mr. HYDE" with himself, of course,
in the title role, and cast Denny for
the rather important part of DR.. Lam
nion. Thorough rehearsals were had
and the hastily gathered local com
pany was whipped rapidly into shape.
Il
scheduled, Denny tried to "dog it,"
claiming he had lost his memory, his
voice, his nerve and all other of the
essentials of the hummer"
The old star wouldn't countenance
any excuse and threatened to call off
the show if Denny failed him.
The attorney decided to go through
because fees were scarce and Denny
wanted his fee, even if he had to earn
it twice, by his appearance across the
footlights.
1. G. being a very large man ply
sically, had great difficulty in tax
ing fall' in that most grewsome
scene where it is his duty to drop
dead-when DR.. Jeckyl transforms
himself on the stage into the horrific
Mr.. Hyde-Dr. Lannion, overcome
with horror, falls to the floor and
dies.
Consequently, the original presen-
tation was altered so that Denny col
lapsed into a chair and died In sit
ting posture. The house sold out
and S. R. o., signs proclaimed the
commercial success of the evenings
At the eleventh hour Denny de-
an order on the box office
for $4,000. He had been Band
lawyer for long time and
had given him everything
but money.
One Man Strike.
The star stormed and fumed. He
excoriated Denny as a "mercenary |
wretch, debased by love of filthy |
ucre; varlet and a churl" Denny |
however, was on strike. He pulled |
he first actors strike in the west |
Ind he was the whole theatrical |
lnion in himself. After delaying the
curtain for some time an armist1ce
vas arranged until after the play,
When the money was to be counted.
The show went along in fine shape.
Denny says it was an excellent pro-
Iuction, thrown together as 1t was,
or Bandmann was a thorough di-
ector, a stage manager and an in
piration to any one with scintilla
f talent. Doubtless, there are many
q Missoula today who were present
t the show.

sun RIVER GAME
WINTERINC WELL
THOUSANDS OF HEAD OF ELK,
SHEEP AND GOATS AND A FEW
MOOSE ARE IN GOODSHAPE
Elk Are Beginning to Gather in
Huge Bands, Sometimes Number
ing a Thousand or More; Moose
and Goats are Back in the Hills
and Are Seldom Seen.

Thousands of head of wild game,
including elk, sheep, goats and
few moose, are reported to be win
tering we'll, in spite of the deepest
snow in years in the Sun river coun-
try, by Forest Ranger H. H. Hen
dron, who lives at the Hanan gulch
station about 81 miles west of Gill
man, and who saws that the elk are
staying high in the hills this year
and appear to be in good condition.
He has seen many sheep and goats
have reported to him that they have
seen big bands of wild sheep in the
Medicine Springs country up near
the head of Sun river.
Counts 300 Sheep
One trapper claimed to have
counted more than 800 sheep. Hen
dron said that he had seen only a
few moose, but had often seen tracks
few miles from his cabin. The
moose and goats are not as tame as
the sheep and stay further back in
the hills. The elk are comparatively
gentle and have commenced to as
semble in big herds, he said. He
counted 800 IN one herd and has
seen numerous smaller herds. Later
in the season the herds assume enor
nous proportions, often totaling
more than a thousand, he said.
The wolves have not run in that
section this year, but the bobcats and
coyotes have been numerous, the
ranger reported. Three mountain
lions have been killed, one of them
being trapped only short distance
from where he had slain and partly !
devoured an elk calf.
Lions Greatest Menace
The mountain lions are even a
greater menace of the wild game than
wolves, killing on an average of at
least one elk week, the ranger re-
ported. The eagles and bobcats are
the greatest enemies of the sheep and
goats, he said.
Dozens of coyotes have been killed
by the farmers and many packs have
been reported to be sweeping the
hills, killing off much small game,
the ranger said. There has been lit
tie molestation of stock by the coy
otes and most of the stock is still
in good condition. The hay supply
is still plentiful in the Sun River
country and a few of the farmers
have been shipping hay to other
points in the state, he reported.
