6.93l HUNTERS
KILL 1900 DEER
ALSO STAY 51S ELK AND 1873
BEAR IN MONTANA FORESTS
IN 1922
Investigations Conducted by Missoula
Forestry Office at Request of Bu-
eau Of Biological Survey; One
Mountain Sheep Reported Killed.

The deer population of the nation
al forests of Montana was reduced
1900 by hunters during the last year,
according to Investigations which
have been made by Fred Morrell, dis
trict forester of District No. 1 with
headquarters in Missoula- Nearly
three times as many deer were
slaughtered as any other one kind of
wild animal, Mr.. Morrell reports.
In response to a request for infor-
nation regarding hunting In the ma
tional forests, made by letter to the
Missoula forestry office by the bureau
of biological survey in Washington,
D. c., investigation resulted in the
foregoing facts being uncovered.
1t was also ascertained that hunt
ers numbering 6,931 invaded Mon
tana national forests during the last
year in quest of big game. They
killed in addition to the deer men
toned, SIS elk, 115 black or brown
bear. Only one mountain sheep is
known to have been killed in viola
ton of the law in the state.
In western Montana on the Mis-
soula, Lolo and Bitter Root forests,
deer casualties were 267, and elk
ITO. Two thousand six hundred and
sixty hunters spent n or more days
these forests. In Idaho, north of
the Nez Perces forest, 724 hunters
killed 455 deer, 16 sheep or goats,
81 elk and 73 black or brown bear.

-M family cos4h Oe7sp

Dillon Hereford Sale Success
The sale of registered Hereford
cattle at the Dillon horse sales yard
proved one of the most successful
cattle auctions held in Beaverhead
county for a number of years.
The entire herd of IS head were
sold at prices ranges from 500 to
$40, the cattle bringing a total sum
of $,O45, or an average of about $145
a head. Seven of the 10 buyers
were ranchers of Beaverhead county
and the remainder were from other
parts of the state. William fash,
owner Of the DL ranch on Grass
hopper, paid the highest price at the
sale, purchasing one of the bulls for
$340. The Donovan Ranch company
bought 10 of the registered cattle.
The sale was held under the au-
spices of the Montana, Hereford
Breeders association, and the herd

prohibition. Jeffy really made his
first stake at Fairview. From Fair
view he moved up to sHarlOwtOn
where he again did a prosperous bust
ness but having no business rival for
some months he confined his batter
les to onslaughts on the opposite po-
litical party. He made money in Har-
lowton, sold out to fine advantage,
and bought to good advantage Col.
Hamilton's paper in Miles City, a
weekly. Some time last year he
launched a daily edition of the paper.
He died as he lived, with his fight
ing clothes on.
Jeffy was born in West Virginia In
1850. When he was IA years of age
his parents moved to Kansas. Jeffy
learned the printers trade in Cawker
City and as 0 on as he was big
enough he began playing ball. Char
ley Bebb tells us he was a good play
and was known as "Beefing"
Johns. He lost his love for the
sport and in nearly all the towns he
lived in he managed to get together
a good team. Some of the Lewistown
old-timers still talk of the time he
up with his team from Forsyth
and Cleaned" all the gay sports and
fans of this village. He performed
the same feat with the same team
at Billings.
Jeffy was first of all a democrat.
His next and secondary obsession was
baseball. He would journey hundreds
Of miles to attend a democratic con-
vention or to witness a good ball
but he wouldn't cross the street
% see a game Of golf.
Jeffy was welded to his idols. He
made a host of enemies but he had
many warm friends.
He was a real, old fashioned, fight
ng editor.

Confiscation Decisions

Deciding what are said to have
been the first cases instituted in Mon
tana under the confiscation provi
sions of the liquor laws, Judge Rob.
ert Stong of Billings ordered the for
fixture of fixtures in two soft. drink
p~arlors operated in Livingston BY
men under arrest on ~boOtlegging
charges. In a third case the court
ordered the restoration of seized fix
lures IN the ground that Frank Can
non, the alleged bootlegger involved,
served liquor to state agents from a
bottle carried In h his pocket, and
therefore the fixtures were not used.
The property restored belongs to
the Lehrkind estate, which is in the
hands of the court in the cours of
probate. Judge Stong said that If
the administrator, a member of the
family, were shown to have been cog
infant of liquor dispensing on the
property, it would have been ground
for his removal.

!, Beware the Ides of March

March winds must play their
pranks. Jack Hawkins, old pioneer
and sheriff Of Custer county in the
wild days, had one the other day
which he will not soon forget. He
left the city hall at noon and on en-
tering a business house four blocks
away, noticed that he had lost all but
one of nine $500 bills which he was
carrying. On learning of his loss he
started a search for the missing
money, and on reaching the street
found that the wind had scattered it
all about. With volunteered assist
ance from bystanders he retrieved
every n of the bills.

EASTERN MONEY
WILL COME HERE
FINANCIERS CONFIDENT MON
TANA OFFERS CONSISTENT IN
VESTMENTS, SAYS BANKER
Sixty Per Cent of States Farmers
Have Gone Through Adversely and
Proven Themselves, is Opinion of
l.. e, Wakefield Of Minneapolis.

Eastern concerns with interests In
Montana are taking a most optimistic
view toward development and fur
Their sterilization of agriculture and
business in the Treasure state dur
ing the coming year. The rapid re-
covery of the state during the last
two years, joined to the outlook for
1922 as a period of intensive devel-
opment, is confirming the faith east
ern sections always have expressed
in Montana, and capital will continue
to look for consistent investments
here.
This is the view of Lyman E. Wake
field, vice-president of the Wells
Dickey company of Minneapolis,
which has a large number of farm
loans placed in Montana. Mr.. Wake
field was in Great Falls for a con
ference with Robert Stallman, Mon
tana manager for the company.
Farming Status Proved
"An outstanding fact to remember
in connection with Montana is that
agriculture has proved its perma-
nency here" said Mr.. Wakefield.
From the experience of the last few
years, we know hat farming is a
profitable industry in Montana and
hat farm yields and farm incomes
will be steadily increased as a con-
sequence of the adoption Of better
methods and the introduction of new
crops.
There have been comparatively
but very few failures among Montana
land owners who were know-how
III - s-o xn
today, I would say that 60 per cent
of the states farm population has
gone through the period of adversely
and emerged safely intrenched
against any adverse conditions that
may arise. On the other hand there
have been about 40 per cent of fail
ures, or near failures, among own
ers who were not and never intended
to be farmers. But in that fact there
is an argument favoring the early
restoration of Montana lands. Farms
that passed from the proprietorship
of such owners has tended to keep
values at a comparatively low mark,
and cheap land has a big attraction
for farmers of the middle west.
Good Year Indicated
II would not say that their is go
ing to be a rush of land buyers into
Montana, or any other state, this
year, for there is no general move
ment towards agriculture, but Mon
tana is bound to get a large number
of new settlers in 1923.
Everything indicates a good year
for Montana. Agriculture is going TO
make important gains; the sheep in
duStry is fulIV restored. and mining
again is on a solid foundation. The
cattle business has not SO far recov-
cred, but it is gaining rapidly and
probably will be normal by another
fall. Development of the oil fields in
evitably will be a big factor in Mon
prosperity. The state now is
along to where it is produc-
ing considerable oil and there will be
sums expended here in the next
few years in development"

HOW JEFFY JOHNS
DIED IN HARNESS
FAMOUS OLD-TIME NEWSPAPER
MAN, WHO HAD THE COUR-
AGE OF CONVICTIONS
Established Many Newspapers Dur
ing bis Third of a Century in Mon
tana; q Fighting Editor of a School
that is Passing.

~. Jefferson Johns, who died in
q harness in his office in Miles
Clty a few days ago, was probably
one OF the best known Of his craft
IN the state. He had established
many newspapers and was a writer
VINO q the courage Of his con-
vlctIOns. Here is a tribute to Mr..
Johns from the faci1e pen Of ]. a.
Gilluly, dean of the newspape
gulld OF the state, who knew Che
fighting editor well:
Arrayed in the full panoply of a
knight of the quill, that old warrior.
T. Jefferson Johns, while preparing
to make another advance upon the
enemy, this particular enemy being
some policies of municipal govern
ment which heidi not sanction, went
down in the ~twinkling Of an eye be-
fore the scythe of old Father Time.
He was seated at the exchange
table in his editorial office in Miles
City when the stroke came, and there
probably reposed on that table a he
terogenous mass of daily and weekly
newspapers, paste pot and pair of
shears, unopened and unanswered
correspondence, and all the other
characteristic accoutrement of a
newspaper mans den.
Jeffy, as he was known from n
end of the state of Montana to the
other, was a warrior bold. Fighting
with ink was even more than meat
and drink t. him and what more
could he ask than to be permitted to
ldin ~, htr <o-4 ~r.4l L. Fill $500
on?
Jeffy began his Montana news
paper career in LewistOwn about
1891. He was then 81 years of age.
He stayed here a few years, went
away and came back. He bought an
interest in the original Fergus
County Democrat, which was estab-
lished by the late e. H. Rathbone,
who died at Roman a few years ago.
Scott Brothers bought the paper from
.Rathbone and Jeffy acquired an in
terest with Dave Scott. He stayed
here until about. 1905, when he set
out on his varied career. Senator w.
F. Meyers sent for him to come over
to Red Lodge, and staked him to a
plant in that city. Walter Alderson
was editing the Red Lodge Picket at
that time and he and the wealthy
senator were at swords points.
Meyers object was to secure. a man
with a pen equally as vitriolic as
Walters and he made no mistakeJ
when he selected Jeffy. 1t was a bat
tie royal and it lasted for several
years.
Mr.. Johns went from Red Lodge to
Forsyth where he and Ira Cole ex-
changed the amenities of the season
their rival newspapers for about
a year. Next he was in Miles City for
. short time and went from there to
Clyde Park in the Shields river val
ley and thence to Livingston for a
brief period, managing and editing
papers in his characteristic style in
all of these towns. From Living
ston he. dropped down to Fairview
on the North Dakota line, where he
suddenly espoused with all his won't

TEX AUSTIN, RODEO
PRODUCER, IN TOWN

Tex Austin, who put the worlds
champion cowboy contests in Chicago
and New York, is in town with view
of making his home here if he can
find a suitable cattle outfit. In 1920
and 1921 Mr. Austin produced two
worlds champion cowboy contests in
Chicago, giving the largest amount Of
prizes that has ever been offered for
such an affair. Not satisfied with this
accomplishment, he produced worlds
championship contests at the New
York stadium in 1922 and 1928. In
these rodeos he gave prizes amount
ing to $4,000 in each instance, like
wise the largest amount ever given in
prizes or cowboy contests.
Mr. Austin has produced more ro-
deos than any other man. His home
is at Las Vegas, n. M.

GOVERNOR HUNT NOT
TO CALL EXTRA SESSION

Governor Hunt definitely annOunc-
ed Monday that he had no intention
whatever of calling the Sixth legis-
lature into extraordinary session de-
spite rumors to the contrary.
Il will not call a special session
of the Sixth legislature" the COVER
non emphatically declared, unless
SON hing unusual happens such as
fire or famine, or an epidemic of some
kind that would neccessitate calling
the legislature together"
1t has been generally rumored that
the governor would call special ses-
sion of the legislature and that it
would convene shortly after the first
of the year
The governor, in making the de-
claration yesterday, stated that at
present there were no matters which
W0u.G warrant calling the legislature
and that any matters on which leg
islation are desired were of such
nature that they could wait until the
regular session of the Seventh legis-
lature in 1925.
The Sixth legislature, the governor
pointed out, convened in regular ses-
sion for 80 days, the full time accord
ed them by the law, without accom-
plishing a great deal in the way of
construction legislation.
He also pointed out that the Sixth
legislature, after meeting in regular
session, employed more clerks than
any of the former state legislatures
and that their appropriation bills to
cover the expense of the session
made a total expenditure greater than
that of any previous session of the
legislature.
Calling the legislature into special
session would be very expensive
proposition, the governor said, "and

together for another 80 days ses-

portance than any that has arisen so
