doubt become n corn state in time
said County Agent Gustafson who was

being made at growing corn in Mon
tana and especially in this section of
the state. This year Phillips county,
he said, will have 5000 acres in corn

success in this northern section of
Montana as well as Minnesota %,
Gehu Flint and Dakota White Flint.
Mr.. Gustafson said that from the re-
turns to the QUESTIONABLE which he
sem out some time ago the corn acre
age will be doubled in this county this

have been burning for generations.

But underground fires no longer are
to be considered unquenchable, as in
the Butte district a process of fire

Anaconda Copper Mining company
which is salvaging an ore body of ire

burning for ID years in three connect

a million tons of mud.
10000 Tons of Copper Saved
BY the end of 1929 two million tons
of metalliferous ore, containing, ac-
cording to expert estimates, at least
10000 tons of copper, once more will

The process of fighting the subter-
ranean fire as developed is not COM

idea evolved in 1884 by fire fighters
at a coal mine in the Schuykill region
Of Pennsylvania. Sand. decomposed
rock and other materials which came
originally from the Slopes and were
discarded as tailings in the process of
extraction, simply have been
turned back into the fire area. Water.

that Mr.. Bennett would not deal with
the state in the matter Of the sale of
the Walton ranch and that he would
deal only through Conley.

"Well maybe we WILL" suggested
Colonel Nolan.
The question of professional ethics
then came up and counsel asked Mac
Donald If he considered it ethical to
leave the court room day after day to
lecture and try to train witnesses.
TO this the witness replied that it
was both ethical and customary for
attorneys to examine witnesses before
they were placed on the stand.
And to call a witness a liar"
queried Colonel Nolan.
II did not call him a liar" replied
Macdonald.
Believes Blanket Facts Suppressed
Macdonald then said the next case
of suppression of facts On the part
of Conley came up in the matter of a
quantity of blankets purchased from
the j. V. Farwell company, blankets
which he said Conley had told him had
been used the year before at a hunt

which were smooth and unwrinkled
and still bore the manufacturers

Brick Question Argued
He said there appeared to be one
thing which had slipped his
mind and asked for the complaint in
the case to recall it TO his mind.
While he was looking at the complaint
Colonel Nolan interposed an objection
but the witness had found the item
desired before the objection took eff
feet and said that it was regarding
statement that the state owed
him a million brick. He said Conley
told him the state had borrowed a
million brick to be used in the erection
Of a cell building at the prison and for
he had never been repaid. The
of accounting for brick was

between counsel and witness for
time in relation to the cause of

pert witness had valued at slightly in
excess Of $4,000, were worth $4,000.
The witness said his recollection was
that the value in the complaint was
$4,000, but he val then shown the
complaint which placed the value at
$4,000. He said he got his valuation
from Highway Commissioner Henry
Good, who said they were worth
$4,000 to $4,000 and from n
Simpkins. who said they were worth
about $4,000.
Macdonald said he believed the
transaction relative to the repayment
to John Byrne Of 10000 brick was
improper and that he thought it was
a bogus deal.
Thinks Supplies Were Posed
The witness also detected conceal
ment in the method Of the arrange
ment of the bacon, flour, groceries and
other articles which he was shown in
the Mullan warehouse. He said the
flour and sugar sacks had the same
| "Conley & McTague" stenciled upon
them, that the warehouse, in the hot
weather, was not q proper place for
the storing of bacon and he intimated
that the goods were arranged there
merely for effect during it's examination
by the investigator. He said he be-
lieved the foregoing were all of the
cases of concealment he had noticed.
Colonel Nolan then read from the
original Macdonald report. to the eff
feet that it vas to have been conducted
no attempt was to be made to set up
claims that could not be substantiated
by the facts.
This led to an interchange of argu-
ments as to the objects Of the inves-
tigation, presence OF absence of bias
in the inquiry and the purpose of the
report to the governor.
Spoiled Meat Slipped Mind
you learn of it?" asked Colonel Nolan.
"Soon after I went over there" re-
piled witness, but / must confess it
slipped my mind"
Wouldn't it have been a great thing
to have carried it in you report, and
yet there is not a word concerning it?'
Il did not prepare my report with
any intent to blacken Mr.. Conley," re-
piled Macdonald.
When, in reply to questions, he said
he did not recall if any mention Of
spoiled meat had been made in any of
the affidavits obtained at the prison,
the witness was asked to look over
those affidavits before next Monday
and if he found anything to bring those
affidavits into court.
Tells of Supply Shortages
Asked why he did not seek informa-
ton from Ackley. who was in charge
of the guards and in charge of the re-
moval of goods from the prison at the
time Of the change in wardens. the wit
ness replied that he knew Ackley was
a friend of Conley and hostile to the
investigation and because he knew
Ackley had given no information of i'm
portance to the state when previously |
questioned by Major McFatridge.
He was then questioned as to the |
figures in his report claiming heavy
shortages of flour. bacon, sugar and
groceries. and replied that he had OBJ
tanned these from State Accountant |
Stewards figures. He was shown the |
detailed report of the state account
ant, which tailed with those of his own |
report, and the defense than succeeded |
in having this part of the accountants
figures admitted as an exhibit in the
case.
