a wealthy member of the Board of Trade.
Testimony that there was such man was
given before the special Senate committee

Growers. Inc, by James *. Mason Of
Milton, Ind.
Mr.. Hales readily admitted that he was
the uan referred to by Mr.. Mason, who
had declined to identify the prospective
benefactor of the subsidiary planned to
sell the grain contracted for by the
United States Grain Growers, Inc.
Mr.s Mason's testim0ny-that a Board
of Trade man was willing to help finance
the cooperative organization. which is
looked on by big traders as inimical to
their interests-created a sensation in
financial circles here, but the identified
tion Of Mr.. Hales caused even greater
surprise.
Mr.. Hales said that the question of
sales departments for the Grain Grow
ers still was pending, and that he did
not know just what would come of 1t or
of his offer to lend financial aid. He
would not go into details as to his rea-
sons for being willing to back the propo-

trict as a fighter. He formerly rep
resented the p. D. Armour grain CON
Germ on the Board Of Trade.
The capitalist said his nephew, G. ".
Hales, would assist him In any fnan-
cial aid given to the sales plan and that
he himself had agreed to advance $50
600, whenever it was wanted, - a start

PRAGUE BEER
OUTPUT LESS
Heavy Taxes and High Prices
Reduce Brewing TwO-Thirds.

PRAGUE, June 16-One glass Of beer
is brewed in Czecho- Slovakia today to
three glasses brewed before the war. The
reason is heavy taxation, high prices for
materials and the high rate of exchange
on the local crown in the currencies Of
Germany, Hungary and Austria. The
pre-war total was 100000 hectoliters
for this year it is estimated at about
4000,0 900. Foreign export has ceased,
German brews are competing with the
home product and a vast amount Of bar
ley is seeking a buyer.
The price of fresh meat is so high in
Czecho- Slovakia that American frozen,

government has called for the American
product at prices 80 per cent lower tnan
those prevailing for fresh meat.
Various conditions conspire to keep up
the price Of local meat. Cattle from
Poland and Denmark and hogs from
Hungary and Roumania are prohibited
on account Of alleged infection; there
are limited cold storage facilities in the
country and but few cold storage cars
on the lines Of Hamburg. The govern
ment will attempt to regulate imports
to meet the local demand.

From the vigor with which she ap-
pealed to the police for aid and the

gathered that Mrs. Chambers was deter

motion led Mrs. Chambers TO believe the
house was burning or that her servants
were being attacked by robbers. The
shock Of the affair was understood TO

Plan for Livestock
Estimating Service

Plans for a nationwide livestock re-
porting service showing the monthly
changes in the livestock situation on
farms are now being made by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, under the $4,000 congressional
appropriation recently made for this
work. The service will also include
the forecasting and reporting of the
important livestock movements.
AT recent conferences of statisti-
clans and crop and livestock estimat-
ing experts, it was felt that the
monthly reports of the changes on
the farm should include reports of
births, deaths, losses, marketing. pur-
chases, and animals bred, with period
ical classifications of the number of
animals on the farms, This service

work carried on by the division of
crop and livestock estimates during
the last three or four years. Monthly
reports will be obtained from 10000
to 100000 farms and state indexes of
changes at least for the corr belt. and
eastern and southern states will be
developed. The range of states on
sheep and cattle will be covered by a

Claims the Bounty

S. N. Snyder, professional wolfer
who has spent the past winter IN the
Calvert and Tiger Butte mountain
sections in an endeavor to free that
country of wolves that have been TAX
ing a heavy toll from the stockmen
and who recently succeeded in captut-
ing q den of six wolf pups and their
mother, later getting the male, the
latter part of last week took the pelts
to Great Falls to clai mthe bounty,
and the Leader prints his story OF
the capture as follows:
Snyder had been hunting the big
wolf for a month or more and had To-
Gated the den of he and his mate in
the rocky face of Black Butte in the
southern part of the county in which
were six two weeks old wolf pups.
Snyder hid himself TO the lee of the
den, and waited from daylight until
near dusk for one of the wolves to
appear, as they never came together.
The big male came up a draw but IN
way became wary of the hunter
and refused TO advance closer than
300 yards, at which distance Snyder

then crawled into the den and brought

To Select Route Mon
arch Logging Ok. Road

Government and state highway en-
gineers will on Wednesday or Thurs
day of the present week start recon-
naissance work upon the proposed
Monarch-Logging creek highway on
Belt creek in Cascade county for the
purpose of picking out a location for
the proposed forest service highway
to connect with the Neihart road at
Monarch and the Lick creek road at
Logging creek, according to Helena
dispatches.
The work will be handled under the
direction of Engineer Crenshaw of
Portland, representing the highway
department of the u. S. forestry ser
vice, and w. M. Spann, locating en-
gineer of the Montana highway COM
mission. 1t is probable that Z. ID.
Harlow, district engineer at Great
Falls, and Fl. A. Templeton of Great
Falls, state highway commissioner,
viii be with the party during the first
day or two of the work.
1t is expected the work will be COM
pleted in two or three days and if
the secretary of agriculture approves
of the project after receiving the re-
port it will be advertised for bids.
The engineers will make their esti-
mates after having inspected the route
and picking out locations.
This is one of the projects recon-
mended by the highway commission
to the u. S. department of agricul-
ture to be built out of forestry high
funds allotted to Montana. The
estimate of the highway commission on
this road, which would be about seven
miles in length, was $4,000.

SUNDAY FISH TRAIN
TO NEIHART THIS YEAR

Revival of the fishing train of pre-
war days that operated between Great
Falls and Neihart on Sundays and hol-
idays is not anticipated this year, ac-
cording to General Agent J. S. Book
of the Great Northern railway.
The train was an attractive summer
feature for fishermen in those days,
for the train stopped at every good
fishing hole along the way.
The late fishing season this year
eliminates all necessity for such a
train and during the fishing season
