What Home Folks
Think of H. Bea|e

A special correspondence to the
Great Falls Leader from Simms, the
home town of Harry o. Beale, candi-
date for the republican nomination
for county surveyor, says:
"Simms has been rejoicing gener-
ally since it has been learned that the
town has got real, live candidate
with his hat already in the ring and a
good outlook to go some at the pri-
maries in August. This candidate is
Harry o. Beale of Simms, who is as
piring to the office of county surveyor
as his first move in a political way.
Mr.. Beale says that if he is elected he
will serve the public impartially and
that his slogan will be Justice, effic-
iency and economy strictly.
Mr.. Beale is native of Maine,
having graduated from the university
of that state in 1905. He came to what
is now Simms in 1906 as an engineer
in the reclamation service, his first
practical work being in working out
irrigation systems. He served four
years at this and was given much
credit for his efficient work. In 1911
Mr.. Beale hired out to the Chicago
and st. Paul railway and
left that company four years later
with a splendid record. During the
past few years he has been with the
state highway commission as an en-
gineer and is now in charge of the
of the Sun River highway
Simms.
Mr.. Beale is a genial, hard working
man in field or office, has resided in
Cascade county ever since coming to
the state is married and heavy tax
payer, all of which his friends be-
ieve will make him a real honest to
goodness county surveyor, should he
be elected"

Marriage Walker
Adams Saturday

Cards were received here Monday
announcing the marriage of Lueius l.
Walker and Miss Josephine Adams in
Great Falls on Saturday July 15.
The ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Father 0'Brien, v. G., at the rec
tory Of st AIMS cathedral at o'clock
in the afternoon and Mr.. and Mrs.
Walker left that evening for Los
Angeles, where they expect to make
their home.
Word of the marriage was received
here with considerable surprise, for
while it was the general belief that it
would come some time, the date had
been kept very quiet and very few in
the city knew that It was so close at
hand. The bride had announced that
she was leaving on her vacation and
would visit a sister in the state Of
Washington, and nothing more was
thought about it until the marriage H.
cense was noted in the Sunday Tri-
bune.
Mrs. Walker had made her home In
Belt for the past four years, coming
here as an accountant for the Farm
ers and Miners State bank from North
Dakota Later she was made assistant
cashier, resigning her position without
making her intentions known. Mr..
Walker for the past two years has
been manual training instructor In the
Belt Valley High school, and both dur
ing their residence here have made
many friends who will offer congratu-
lations.
II Is understood to be their intention
to GO TO Los Angeles, where Mr.. Walk
er will take course in automobile me-
ehanies, and then after working at the
trade for time to gain practical ex-
perience, enter the automobile bus
mess in Los Angeles or one of its

No Provision Budget for
the Home DemOnStratOr

The office Of the home demonstra-
tion agent of Cascade county will be
dispensed with next year as measure
of economy to the taxpayers, accord
ing to the board Of county commits

Harding Asks States TO
Aid in Reopening Mines

In the name of the common welfare
and the paramount need of the Ameri-
can people for the production and
transportation Of a fuel supply, Pres
ident Harding Tuesday night, through
kilograms. called upon the governors
Of 28 coal states, including Governor
Dixon of Montana, to furnish protec-
tion and safeguards to men and en-
ployers willing TO resume work in the
industry, notwithstanding the mine
workers strike. To the efforts Of the
states in this direction, he said, "the
federal government pledges TO you
every assistance at its command"
says an Associated Press dispatch.
Behind the kilograms there loomed
the definite indication Of govern
ment decision to obtain the resumption
of TRANSPORTATION and mining, both
hampered today by labor walkouts
which high government officials con-
slider inter-connected and associated.
This action followed several un-
availing attempts Of the president 70
bring the operators and miners to an
agreement that would assure a re-
Of the production of coal,
and his appeal of the first Of the week
TO the operators to reopen their
mines under the protection Of the
American flag.

The placing of the blame for her
present plight upon former President
Woodrow Wilson, the statement that
she was starving to death and a re-
quest for a small sum of money were
the outstanding features of a letter
received the latter part of last week
by Harry Hamment from Mrs. Bertha
Gumpell of Hanover, Germany. Mrs.
Gumpell was formerly the wife of
Harry Zick, who in the erlier days of
this camp conducted restaurant bus
mess here. She left Zick, who had
many ventures upon the sea of matri-
mony, some 16 or IL years ago, and
evidently returned to the land Of her
birth. Nothing had been heard of
her for years until the receipt of the
letter.
"We have your President Wilson to
blame for our present plight" read
one sentence of the letter, which was
written in the German language and

Mrs. A.C. Taylor Injured
When Gar Goes Off Road

Mrs. Alton c. Taylor of the New
Judge hotel at Neihart, was severely
injured last Thursday evening about
seven miles below Neihart when the
a car driven by Chas McGibbon was
lost control of and rolled over 40
foot embankment. Mr.. McGibbon was
taking Mr.. and Mrs. Taylor and their
children and lady guest Of the Tay-
lor's for a little ride when the acci-
dent happened. Mrs. Taylor sus-
tanned several broken ribs and was
badly bruised about the body, whilc
her guest sustained only severe
bruises. The other members Of the
party escaped without injury of any
serious nature.
The party was rescued by s. G..
Anderson in charge of the Belt creek
ranger station, who took them back to
Neihart, where DR.. Smith attended to
the injuries of the women.
The cause of the accident could not
be given. Mr.. Anderson said the ma
chine suddenly slipped from the road
way, slid upright down the embank-
ment for several feet and and then
rolled. The car landed in timber fall
and was undamaged.

Great Falls to Get Big
Brass Plant, Ryan Says

Citizens of Great Falls were told at
a Commercial club dinner given Tues
day evening at the Rainbow hotel. at
which John b. Ryan, chairman Of the
board of directors of the Anaconda
Copper Mining company; Con r..
Kelley, president Of the company, and
officials of the American Brass COM
pany were honor guests, that brass
would be fabricated in Great Falls,
and on a larger scale than at any
other plant Of the company in the
country. Mr.. Ryan was the speaker,
and while he set no date when the
manufacture of brass articles in Great
Falls would begin,h he said he hoped IT
would be soon.
This is big news for Great Falls,
and for all Montana, meaning the adj
dition of thousands of men to the pay
rolls in the industrial centers who
must be supplied with the the produce
of the farms and ranges, thus afford
ing a greater home market.
Another announcement made during
the visit Of Messrs, Kelley and Ryan
was that these gentlemen and their
associates of the Anaconda company
had acquired control Of the stock OF
the Great Falls National bank, mean
ing that they have become more close
ly identified with the commercial life
of that city and Of northern Montana.

Maury Wins Out
in Mcclure Suit

BY a decision handed down last
Thursday by Judge Carroll of the
Silver Bow county district court, H.
L. Maury, A. b. Melzner and B. X.
Wheeler, associated at various times as
attorneys in the affairs of the estate
of Charles D. Mcclure, were given a
fee Of approximately $23 900 for SER
vices rendered. The decision not only
settles the dispute about the legal
claim of H. L. Maury for something
like $4,000 he got from the estate, and
on which item disbarment proceedings
were based.
In his decision Judge Carroll orders
the former executors of the estate,
William B. Mcclure and Clara Mcclure
Jones, to correct their former ac-
counts by allowing $539.62 for money
necessarily and properly paid out by
the attorneys, and to add $4,000 as
attorney fees from May, 1912, to Oc-
tober, 1920, which amount the court
deems reasonable for the services rem
dered, less Sc, $50 already paid This
leaves balance of s22,450 for legal
services, to which must be added the
$539.62 advanced, making a total of
$22, ,989.62 coming to the lawyers.
The Judge continued until August
the hearing on objections filed by
Special Administrator j. d. 0'Con-
nor to reports of the executors The
special administrator objected to num-
erous items in the accounts as un-
authorized. He also alleged that S3,-
200 cash had not been accounted for;
also that $4,000 was received from the
sale of machinery; 81 600 from the
sale of tailings of the Combination
group, and 1000 0=from- the sale of
low grade ore there.
No direct testimony had been Of
fered on these matters when the claim
of the attorneys was being considered. |

Former Belt Woman, Now Starv-
ing in Germany, Pleads for Help

translated by Gus Steinberg. Just
how President Wilson is to blame Mrs.
Gumpell does not say, but from the
tone of her letter it is taken that her
meaning is that had not the United
States entered the World war Ger
many would have been victorious and
now everything would have been COM
ing fine-for the people of Germany,
at. least.
She tells little of the industrial con-
dition of Germany, which it has been
understood here was flourishing. Ac-
cording to Mr. Steinberg, Hanover
which is a large manufacturing CEN
ter, is also the center of a remark
ably fine agricultural country, and he
cannot understand how anyone can be
in the plight Mrs. Gumpell represents
herself to be, if the reports we have
read are correct. She says she has
young daughter for whom she has not
even any bread, and she begs that
some of those who knew her contribute
a few cents each and send her $500 to
save her and her daughter from starv-
alton Two dollars in American
money means 200 German marks
at the present rate of exchange and
would buy considerable food. She en-
phasizes the fact that the money
should be sent by u S. money order,
which she says she would be certain
to receive and which could easily be
exchanged for food.
The tone of the letter, which seems
very antagonistic to the United
States. has aroused but little synn-
pathy here and none of those mention
ed as being likely to heed the plea for
assistance seem desirous of taking the
responsibility of forwarding the move
ment.

Registration Light Over
County, But Heavy Here

Cascade county registration books
for the coming primary election closed
last Friday evening, and while the
registration for the county as whole
was not as great as in former years.
and there will be many otherwise en-
titled to vote whose names will not
be on the list, the local registration
was up TO or above normal, according
to John A. Hackshaw, local deputy
registration agent, about 40 registra-
tions having been made by him.
1t will require a week or more, said
Deputy Clerk A. E. Caufield, in charge
of registration, before figures on the
total registration in, the county will
be available. Registration books for
the general election in November
opened Saturday morning, and those
who did not register for the primaries
have an opportunity to do so for the
lated Election.
Clerk and Recorder John f. Moran
kept his office open from to 9 the
last two nights, and last Thursday
night 1877 persons registered. besides
AZ transfers Friday afternoon the
registration became very brisk and
required the services of three deputies
and Mr. Moran to handle the work.
Women were especially numerous on
the last day Despite this eleventh
hour rush it is not believed that the
registration for the primaries will be
as heavy as it was two years ago

Local GrasshOpper Campaign
to Close-H1s Cost Farmers
and the County OUer $1,000

Agriculturist Ralph 0eftii of the
Belt Valley High school announced
yesterday noon that with the mixing
of four more tons of bran into a
grasshopper poison mash, the mixing
station here would be closed and the
campaign brought to an end, at least
so far as to the county.s participation
in it. The mixing of the four tons of
bran also depended upon the receipt
from County Agent McSpadden Of
sufficient banana oil for this amount,
the local station being short of this in
gredient, though having sufficient mo-
lasses and arsenic on hand. The coun-
ty agent said that the banana oil
would be sent out Practically all of
the remaining material has been
spoken for Mr.. Oertli has been as
sisted this week. by A. X. Carroll. for
mer agrieulturist, who is leaving
shortly for the coast.
Though the county made an appro-
priation of 81 900 for the hopper cam
paigr. the local mixing station has
cost the county more than that amount
and the total cost has been several
times the amount. In checking up his
work. Mr.. Carroll found that 80 tons
of bran had been used here at cost
to those using it of approximately
1910. The total coost of bran and ma
teriai has been approximately $2,lO0,
and as the county has stood all the
expense except the cost Of the bran,
the cost to the county has been about
81 200. The agriculturists have been
notified that the county will furnish
no more material, necessitating the
closing of the plant. The reason, they
believe, is to eliminate this expense,
in view Of the fact that
now the hoppers are flying the cost

Newman TO Oppose Mer-

Louis Newman Of Great Falls,
former mayor of that city, has defin-
itely entered the race for state sem
ator. filing his declaration with Coun-
ty Clerk and Recorder Moran to enter
the democratic primaries on August

lief that Mr. Newman would not enter

first Of the democrats to be mention
ed He will oppose George w. Merkle
Of this city for the party nomination.

election declaration as TO his platform,
stating that "If nominated and elected

else my best efforts in the interest OF

ernment, with view Of bringing some

and work would~be much heavier Co
accomplish the same results.
The past week has brought many
farmers who failed to realize the SER
iousness Of the situation until the hop
pers had begun to fly and to cause
considerable damage. However, those
who have used the poison regularly
tell the agriculturist they feel they
have been exceptionally well paid for
the cash outlay made and the neces-
sary labor in the grain that has been
saved, and next year. should the ne
cessity continue, il is probable that
many more farmers will make IT a
point to carry on vigorous and con-
tinual campaign.
Reports reaching the station and in
vestigation reveal that some damage
to grain is being caused by the grass
hoppers, farmers saying that they are
now attacking the heads Of the wheat,
but just how extensive the damage will
be cannot be determined.
A little red parasite is reported IN
some sections to be attacking the
and are aiding in the
work of extinguishing them. Some
ff these were brought in by Fred Bur
rows. found on the W H. Porter
ranch. The mite gets under the wings
of the hoppers and soon kills them.
Whether these parasites are numerous
enough to do any great good; wheth-
er they viii increase until they are
sufficient in number TO rid the country
Of the hoppers, and whether they
in the latter case, would
become menace, are questions under
at the mixing plants, but
questions to which the agriculturists
do not care to venture an answer,
though they do not believe the mites,
though numerous, could do any such
damage to crops as do grasshoppers.

Threaten Trouble
at Lehigh Mines

Sheriff G. II. Kelley, Undersheriff
c. o. Ray and Deputy Lester Black
held a meeting with the miners union
at Lehigh Monday evening and dis
cussed matters relative to complaints
coming from the camp that there was
considerable feeling between the union
and non-union men and that serious
trouble was likely to result unless an
understanding was had.
On Monday several complaints
reached the sheriff's office that union
men had waited on the miners getting
out coal and as result, either through
intimidation or mutual agreement
every miner in the district laid down
his shovel. The complaints were large
ly brought in by farmers who were un-
able to get coal Monday, and as a
step of precaution Sheriff Kelley and
his force visited the camp in an en-
deavor to iron out the difficulties.
II was pointed out by the union men
on strike that they had no particular
objection TO the non-union men work
ing TO the extent Of supplying the To-
cal demand, but strenuously objected
to the shipping out Of coal. However,
the union agreed TO take the matter
up with the district headquarters for
regarding the situation at
Lehigh and it is expected that an
agreement will be reached in four or
five days. Both the union and nom
union men faithfully promised the
sheriff that there would be no violence
a settlement.

we're indignant over the affair and

own hands unless relief was forth
