road to the office of chief of staff
was cleared for him by special act of
congress because of his great ability.
The retiring officer has participated
in all of the active life Of the army
and served in 1903 as a major in the
Second United States Volunteer caval-
~. known as the I,orrey Rough Riders,
raised ! n the Rocky Mountain states.
Later, ne became assistant chief of the
Fhiiipplne c~onstabulary under Cover
nor General Taft, remaining in the
Philippines from 1902 until 1914.
in 1917, as a major, he was attend
ing the war college in Washington and
was selected by Theodore Roosevelt
to be a %brigadier commander in the
division of volunteers Colonel Roose-
welt hoped to raise for the World war.
On General Pershing's appointment to
command the troops in France, Cen
eral Harbosd was his first selection.
and went over as chief of staff. q post
he retained until the delicate task of
appointing an army officer to COM
mand the marine brigade required his
assignment to that duty.
The marines were under General
Harbord's command in their training
and in the later struggle of Belleau
Wood, where the Second division
stopped the drive toward Paris in 1918.
Subsequently he took command of the
division and led it into action Decide
the crack French Moroccan division
when General Foch ordered the counter
assault known as the scissors often
sive. It was at this point in his career,
with command Of an American corps
and later Of an American army almost
a certainty in his future, that General
Harbord faced a necessity for the well
fare of the army in France that meant
great sacrifice to him as q soldier.
General Pershing turned to him under
the urgent necessity of. reorganizing
the service of supply behind the Amer
lean army. General Harbord did what
he was asked to do SO efficiently as
chief of the service of supply that he
could not be spared to return to the
front before the armistice came. He
was recommended by General Pershing
and Secretary Baker for the rank of
lieutenant general, but the fact that he
had not commanded a corps prevented
his elevation to that title.
In the radio corporation General
Harbord will succeed Edward j. Nally,
who has been appointed managing
director of international relations of
the corporation and will make his
headquarters at Paris.

charge Of the plant and construction
work. according to Hunt, and Will re-
tain him. ~.
When the refinery was planned
said Hunt, 1T was with a view OF
refining Salt Greek and Cat Creek
crude. For the crude from these
fields, the plant is adapted, but it is
not in shape to use the kevln-Sun-
burst oil, leaving a sulphur smell IN
the gasoline produced. An agitator
| will correct this, and we will put out
a product that we deem worthy Of
patronage.
1.-The stockholders are still with
the company and are confident of the
success Of operation under new man
agement.
Remodel Plant
"In our desire to make a product
worthy Of the community, and in our
community pride to use northern
Montana crude, we will make the plant
over slightly to meet the conditions.
When this is done, we will turn out
a product that will rank among the
best. If crude that we expect from
the field arrives we will have the
plant in operation this afternoon, and
! we invite anyone who desires to visit
it and to make any tests of the prod
uct they desire. If there is anything
! that anyone wants to know, including
the owners Of other plants. we invite
them to make a thorough inspection.
THE company has about $4,000 In
the bank and the stockholders them
selves have expressed their willingness
to buy the additional stock needed to
give operating capital in carrying on
the work of the company.
1--WE believe that Great Falls is
an ideal location for q refinery, and
that with good management, we cannot
but have a successful business here.
The northern field is to grow and We
will grow with it."
Hunt was formerly engaged in cat
tie breeding at White Sulphur Springs,
moving to- Great Falls in August. He
said that he had some slight interest
in the company at that time and that
his interest now, SO far as stock is
concerned, is nominal.

stockholders TAKE CONTROL
|Of AMERICAN REFINING firm
Appointment Of Hunt in Place of Engle Marks
Shift in Management; Company to Con-
tinue Using State Crude.

Resignation Of Edwin Engle as sec
retary-treasurer and manager Of the
American Refining company and in
stallation Of Mark Hunt in his place
marked the taking over of control of
the refining company Saturday by a
group of the stockholders of the or
ganization and the calling of a stock
holders meeting for December II,
which they said will result in the GUST
ing Of Earl w. Hustled from the
presidency. Engle resigned when his
resignation was asked by the stock
holders group Wednesday night, but
Hustled had refused to do so.
Hunt, as spokesman for the group of
stockholders, said that the action grew
out of the belief that Engle and Hustled.
IN charge of the company, had sold
S197 900 in stock and that the company
has assets of less than $4,000 The
group of stockholders are said to rep
resent $4,000 in stock in the com
pany. Engle and Hustled and their
friends control between $4,000 and
$4,000 in stock in the company, j. vas
said. OF the 100000 for which the
company was capitalized, $4,000 was
in promotion stock, Hunt said. He
also charged that the books show $780,
600 to have been spent as Organization
expense" and $31 900 as sales commits
sions.
Assets Shown
The company's books show the as
sets of the company to be between
S71. 900 and $4,000. and Hunt charged
that the plant and $4,000 in the bank
do not represent a sum that large.
He admitted that perhaps $1,000 had
been spent in obtaining the materials
and equipment and in workmanship,
but he said that bad judgment and poor
to the proper expenditure of that sum
AS the plant stands, he charged, it
cannot produce a gasoline for the mar
ket because of the sulphur odor to the
gasoline. The gasoline in other partic-
ulars is a high grade product, he
maintained. but until an agitator is
installed, it cannot place it on the
market.
The present status Of the company's
affairs, he said, began at the stock
holders meeting held early in the
month when the officers of the COM
pany had asked the consent of the
stockholders to obtain a loan of $780,
900 to bear interest at 10 per cent,
and permit the marketing of the loan
at a discount mot to exceed 80 per
cent TO tHe SaleSLueu. Lit sloCh-
holders refused to give this permission.
Finances Good
The present financial status of the
company is good, Hunt said, there be-
ing few outstanding bills against it
and the plant. with a few changes,
to be a valuable asset as a dividend
maker. There is no talk among the
stockholders of any need, with the
protection of the creditors, for the
company going into the hands of a
receiver, he said. He held that the
affairs Of the company are in better
condition than has been the case at
any time In months.
The stockholders have confidence
in Charles J. Soyster, engineer in

reached the upstairs game by going
through a private office at the back
OF the cigar store, going up a back
stairs. They said they watched the
playing of a hand without being re-
cognized. Arnold said he saw the
deputy sheriffs at least five minutes
before the arrests were made, but that
he did not recognize them. The
deputies said Lewis was playing solo
at the next table, but did not look up.
Arnold told Gault that be was hired
to run the game by Lewis. He said
he worked Thursday and Friday nights
and Saturday night until arrested. He

that on his frequent visits to Great
Falls he put in considerable time at
the Mint.

Plans for a new hotel for Shelby,
to cost between $150,0O0 and 100000,
were announced some time ago by the

Of holdings beyond the original buy of
the Sullivan ranch, was due largely to

He also said that the properties now
purchased could have been obtained a
few weeks ago at half their present
price.

CODY FISH HATCHERY
TO RESUME OPERATION

Bruce Bayne OF Cheyenne, chief as
sistant to the State Game and Fish
Commissioners, accompanied Commits
sioner Bruce Nowlin on his trip to
Cody the first of the week and spent
a couple of days in this locality inyes-
tigating the matter Of ~reopening the
Cody fish hatchery, which has been
standing idle for some time past.
While the plans for %reopening the
hatchery T as yet immature, It is
the intention to resume operations
this year.
To begin with. the local plant will
probably be used as a collecting or
spawning station, at which fish eggs
will be collected for shipment to other
hatcheries. It Is also quite likely that
Matching operations will be resumed
later, but this is a question which will
be definitely decided in the future.
