WILD SPOTS STILL REMAlM DM MONTANA
UNCHANGED SINCE THE WHITE MAN CAME

I COW pony. The cowboys name is
Jess Hurley, and it is hardly neces-
sary to remark that he would have
made good if he had had his pony.
There are organized gangs of stock
rustlers operating in that wild region
where the n of three states,
Montana, Wyoming and South Da-
kota, are joined land where the
try is adapted to the carrying on of
this nefarious trade that has been
long ago wiped out in most parts of
the west. During the past summer
a state of war existed between the
ranchmen and the rustlers. One of
the deputy state stock inspectors. Bill
Richardson, spent much OF his time
in this territory, making investiga-
lions and getting inside information,
and is still scouting about the
try, not on horseback, but in bis car
with his rifle and his champion Aife-
dale dog as his companions.
This Airedale is an animal of high
degree, and a very useful partner for
a stock inspector in a land where
rustlers abound. He is from the ia
nous Caswell kennels OF Toledo,
Ohio, and is a full brother to Prnsi-
dent Harding's Airedale. His father
was brought from Europe by the wife
of Lucky" Baldwin. AS a body
guard he is beyond price, for one of
the peculiar characteristics of his
breed is silence. He is trained to
maintain absolute silence under all
circumstances. Richardson can lie
down anywhere and go to sleep, and
if anyone approaches, his dog will
awaken him so quietly as not to give
any notice or alarm to the approach
ing person or persons, be they friends
foes. Few men would care to ven
ture into this territory alone as an
avowed enemy to the lawless element, I.
and most people believe that Ritch-
cuold not continue long to DO
so without the aid and comfort of his
alert and watchful ally.
During the past summer several
mass meetings of ranchers and stock
were held to take steps for mu-
tual protection against the rustlers.
At one of these at Broadus, in Powder
River county, Attorney General w.
Rankin was present and caused
something of a sensation by calling
by name a number of men whom he
as rustlers and suggesting
the crystalization of public sent
iment against them would save the
some unnecessary legal expense.

Bank Stockholders liability

A stockholders of a bank who fails
to vote on a matter before a meeting
of stockholders of the institution has
no redress in court and must be
bound by the majority vote, accord
ing to Attorney General w. D. Ran
kin, in an opinion at the request of
L. @. Shelton, state bank examiner.
The question brought up is whether
at a meeting of stockholders at which
a proposition is Endorsed by a ma
jority of the stock voting but by a
minority of the stock represented at
the meeting is legal. The attorney
general holds that it is legal and that
a stakeholder must avail himself of
his right to vote to protect his inter
ests.

WHY MONTANA WILL BE ONE OF FIRST STATES OF NATION TO
RETURN TO PROSPERITY is EXPLAINED BY GREAT FALLS BANK

Montana gives promise of a more
rapid return to stable, prosperous
conditions than any of the middle
western or other western states,'' an
officer of the Ninth Federal Reserve
bank at Minneapolis is quoted as say
ing in the January bulletin letter of
the Great Falls National bank of
Great Falls.
The bank bulletin letter goes on to
say: THE beginning of this new year
has brought tangible evidences of the
statement that has been so often re-
peated in our bulletin letters to the
effect hat the almost entire Jack of
Initiation in Montana during the war
meant that this state would be one
of the leaders in the return to nor
NAL. Liquidation of Indebtedness re-
sulting from the war and adverse con-
ditions of recent years has proceeded
more rapidly in Montana than has
been the case in the central west.
The credit of this state is better than
most Trans-Mississipi states can
boast. Our prospects are brighter.
Furthermore the reputation that Mon
tana has achieved among the finan-
cial men of the nation as a result of
standing the stress of postwar de-
preston will be a valuable asset in
the future.
1.-THE favorable projects, however,
do not indicate for 1922 anything APP
preaching a boom year in Montana.
Indications point, rather, to a slow,
sur recovery of business, with as
much necessity for watchfulness,
economy and conservatism in the fu-
ture as has existed in the past. But
in this state we are standing on solid
bottom, with a secure foundation for
building, while in states like Iowa in
flated land values have left the fin
ancial structure on a basis far from
firm. Consequently there is still much
uncertainty and lack of confidence
and of credit. Farms in Iowa that
sold a few years ago at double their
real values have, in some instances,
changed hands several times and have
again returned to the original mort
gage, or owner, with losses taken on
practically every transaction.
with Montana sound fundament-
ally, most of the industries of the
state are beginning to look up in an
encouraging way. With wool sales
reported at from 81 to 27 IL cents
a pound and the market growing
firmer and more active, with lambs
as high as s11 a head in Chi
cago-twice the local quotation of
two months ago-and with lower
costs of production and operation, the
sheep business has the most encour-

(By John Franklin Lewis)

"There was a sunny, savage land
Beneath the Eagles Wings,
And there, across the thorns and sand
Wild rovers rode as kings"
The poet used the past tense, but
there are localities where the rovers
still ride and where the bunch grass,
the sagebrush and the prickly pear
present the same appearance as when
viewed by Lewis and Clark a hundred
years and more ago.
In Powder River county and III
southern Carter county, along the
Wyoming border, there are still broad
acres:
SWhere the wilds, immeasurably
spread,
Seem frightening as you CO."
There are many townships of un-
surveyed land, with here and there a
"honyock' squatter, living in out-of-
the-way places, like Robinson Crusoe,
without seeing a human being for
weeks at a stretch.
Three years ago a homesteader was
murdered in his shack and three
weeks passed before his absence was

a chaotic condition in agrarian COM
munities, many farmers abandoning
their land to their creditors and going
to cheap land states, while others are
joining farmers organizations and
proposing radical measures for eco
nomic and political relief"
Lowrie said he does not believe a
farmers political movement is a per-
manent solution of their present
problems. AS when in Montana, he
still pins his faith to cooperative So
c%ieties, but contends that even these
organizations will not succeed until
they are established in a national
way and are able to hapdle the prod
uct through all its channels from the
farm to the ultimate consumer.

noticed. A sheriff's posse searched
for days before the body was found,
lying on the hillside in a remote, I'M
frequented spot in the Chalk Buttes,
some 70 miles from a railroad.
"Honyock'' is the common term for
a homesteader in that country, and
one of the species, dwelling on the
wide border, once wrote some verses
beginning:
"Way out in old Montana, where they
have four foot O. snow,
The honyock goes no place,
cause there's no place to 60.

scribed as having more truth than

"IH0se Who Dance

There's a settlement in profit or loss, for

in that case the settlement may bear compound
