Chief Engineer and Party Go to yell
lowstOne Through West Gallatin.
Examine Trail to Forest

That the Milwaukee people are 60
ing to leave no stones unturned to
make the entrance into the Yellow,
stone via Bozeman and the West
Gallatin canyon the most attractive
way of getting to the park has been
evidenced in the last few days by
the visit of engineers of the road to
Bozeman and to the canyon, with a
view towards ascertaining the feasi-
bility of building an auto road into
the petrified forest, portion of the
Yellowstone park that can be reached
only by auto only from the West Gal
latin canyon.
On Thursday, c. F. Loweth, chief
engineer of the c., NJ. & st. P rail-
road, and M. L. Mitchell, has assist
ant, both of Chicago, and R. j. Mid
dleton and R. w. Sweet, of Seattle
also of the engineering department of
the road were in the city for a few
hours before making the trip through
the canyon with Ed. Avery, of Three
Forks.
While here the party visited at the
forest offices with a view of gather
ing as much information as possible
about the Specimen forest, as the re

Man ARRESTED HERE
SENTENCED TO PEN
Driver of Car With Stolen Merchan-
disc Tried in Billings and Gets Two
to Four Years Sentence

James Minor, a steeplejack from
Spokane, who was arrested in BOze-
man last week by Under Sheriff Or
vile Jones, and later taken to Bill
lings, was sentenced in that city to
serve from two to four years in the
state penitentiary on charge of
grand larceny.
Minor and Edwsrd Haynes who
said he was an /. w. w. organizer,
were arrested last Tuesday near the
pea factory and their cash searched
Some $500 worth of dry goods and
merchandise were found in the car,
and the two men were held. A third
disappeared when the officers hove IN
sight and has not been found.
Minor told a tale of hiring his car
to some men at Billings, they wanting
to be driven to Bozeman. Haynes was
not arrested with Minor, but was
picked up on the streets and later was
released. Minor said the men who
hired his car put the goods in it and
that he did not know they were stolen
properly.
News Of the local capture spread
over the state and letters asking de-
scriptions of the merchandise were
received from many places. Special
Agent Ami, of the Burlington sys-

and identified them as belonging te
that road, taking them back to Ne.

.GALLATIN FARMS
SHOW IMPROVEMENT
Earnings From Farms Greater Than
for Past Two Years According to
Survey of College

Gallatin valley farms made fairly
good returns last year, according to
the preliminary report upon the Gal
latin valley farm management sur
vey which has just been issued by
the farm management department of
the Montana experiment station.
The average farm receipts upon Y
farms which records were secured for
last year were $4,3e6. After deduct
ing the average farm expenses Of S2,-
ATT, a farm income Of $1,S89 is left,
which is a considerable increase over
that of the two preceding years. In
1921 the farm income was only 1892,
and in 1920, only SAT-.
The farm income last year was not
quite enough, however, to pay per
cent interest upon the average farm
capital, to say nothing of giving the
! farmer any wages for his years work
One reason for this is the high valu
alton of the farms. Although lanC
values have come down considerably
in the last two years from the higl
prices that were reached during the
war, they are still a good deal owe,
pre-war values, The average value
per acre last year was S121 as com
pared with $97 in 1913, and S148 a
the peak in 1920,
The records for last year make tn
fifth year that this survey has bee
carried on, in addition to the frs
Gallatin valley survey, which wa
made in 1913. 1t is planned to pub
lish complete report upon this wor
some time this winter, presenting tn
facts that have been brought out a
to the most profitable farming sys
TENS and practices.

DEMONSTRATIONS
INTEREST FARMERS
Wheat. Potato and Corn DemOnstra-
ton Held by BOdley and Assistants
Arouse Farm Interest

During the past week or ten days
a number of agricultural demonstra-
tions have been held in different
parts of the county by County Agent
Bodley, and while fall operations has
prevented large attendance at these,
a great deal of interest has been
shown.
The first of these demonstrations
was an inspection of the comparative
returns from five different varieties
of spring wheat planted on the Man
haitian company's No. l ranch near
Manhattan. This demonstration was
conducted by ]. A. Ogaard, of the col
leee staff. Five OF the varieties OF
spring wheat were planted under the
same conditions and at the same time
last spring. While the grain is not
vet threshed, and so the yields could
not be obtained, the demonstration
showed. that the variety known as
Red Bobbs showed the best indications
for yield, with the popular Marquis
second. In the matter of early ma
turitv the Hard Federation was the
earliest. the Red Bobbs second, Fed
Grafton third, Marquis fourth ant
Dicklow last.
A potato rogueing demonstration
was held at the Cooper ranch neal
Willow Greek yesterday, with Prof
c. c. Starring, of the College, II
charge. The diseased vines in thu
field were rogued out, Professor Star
ring showing how to tell the differen
potato diseases and giving thorough
exposition of their eradication.
A similar demonstration was he'll
at the c. z. Slime ranch on Sou
Dough this morning, and in addition

was easy to determine which was tn
certified seed, and the value of tube
unit selection was also clearly Gem
onstrated. This afternoon the sam
farmers who spent the morning q
the Sine ranch are going over tn
college experimental potato plots.
One of the most interesting den
Onstrations was held recently at Wi
low Creek and Three Forks, when
thorough inspection was made of th
different corn fields in those local
ties. The inspection was made larg'
i to determine the maturity of tt
different varieties, u of which wei

HOPPER POISON
Saving MONEY
GaIlatin County Practically Cleaned
of Insect Pest and Many Other
Counties Successful

That grasshoppers have practically
ceased to be a menace to many sec
tions of Gallatin county is the opinion
of most of the men who have been
active in promoting campaigns to
poison these destructive insects. In
some of the dry land regions of the
county there still are quite a number
of hoppers, but these are present in
nothing like the numbers that charact-
erized them year ago or two years
ago. Wholesale community poisoning
rid many communities of so many
hoppers that the turkey raisers are
finding difficulty getting enough in
sects to make their turkeys range the
fields.

new Parking plan
Meets With FAVOR
Auto Owners Like Idea of Parking
in Middle of Street. Helps TO Equal
iZe Use of Paving

The new plan of parking automo-
biles in the middle of Main street
inaugurated a week or so ago by the
city management, is meeting with
general favor among the automobilists
of the city. For years it has been
the custom to park the cars facing
the curb at an angle, thus in a measure
shutting off the store fronts from the
street and preventing the use of the
considerable portion of the pavement
covered by these parked cars. With
the removal of the street cars tracks
middle of the street parking was
made possible.
A series of parallel white lines have
been painted on the pavement at the
middle of the street at about forty
five degree angle with the curb. Each
of the spaces inclosed in the white
lines is intended for one car, the car
to drive in from either direction, but
to back out and continue its way in
the same direction as it was moving
before parking.
This plan permits the use of the
pavement next to the curb, a portion
of the pavement that has seen relative
ly little use for many years and saves
the middle of the street, which in the
past has borne most of the heavy traf-
fic. Another advantage of this plan
is that it enables a car to drive up
in front of any store, discharge its
cargo of people and then move to a
parking place. Cars are not allowed
to park at the curb for any length of
time, only the time needed to either
load or unload their cargo.
While some few minor difficulties
have arisen, as was natural in es-
tablishing this new system, it is work
ing out in a most satisfactory manner
and as whole the people are pleased
with it. The only objection voiced SC
far is that on a day when the streets
are crowded with cars there will bt
insufficient room to park them or
Main street, for the parking suace i:
necessarily cut in half by the present
system. However there are plenty Of
side streets where cars may be park
ed with but slight, inconvenience.

greene HOME is
ROBBED Of jewels
Thieves Enter H. r. Greene Residence
In Absence of Family and Ransack
House for Valuables

Burglars were busy in Bozeman
Monday night and entered the home
of Howard R. Greene, COL Grand av-
enue, stealing most of Mrs. Greene's
Jewels and few dollars in cash that
were in the house.
Mr.. Greene is out of town at pres
ent and during his absence Mrs.
Greene has been spending the nights
at the home of her mother, Mrs. Julius
Lehrkind Mrs. Greene left her home
about 8 o'clock, leaving all the win
dow shades up. When she returned
home Tuesday she noticed at once
that the shades were drawn in the Sec
ond story.
Investigation showed that the house
had been completely gone over by
burglars. Entrance had been gained
by breaking a glass in the kitchen
door. The burglars did a thorough
job, not a cupboard or drawer in the
house being overlooked. The con
tents of the jewel boxes had beer
emptied on Mrs. Greene's bed anC
there the thieves chose what they
wished. Some rings, lady's watcl
and some brooches were the principa
articles taken, along with few cd,
dollars in cash that happened to be il
the house. The thieves did not toucl
the silver or any other valuables.
The burglary was at once repOrte
to the sheriff'c office, but so far n
arrests have been made.

LOCAL CATTLE Breed
WELL IN The EAST

In the recent issue of the Brown
Swiss Bulletin, a publication issued
in Beloit, Wisconsin and the official
journal of the Brown Swiss associ-
alton, is an interesting write up of
Forest Girl of Lake View, the new
champion two year old Brown Swiss
heifer. This heifer in one year pro-
duced Is, 954.6 pounds of milk and
657.92 pounds Of butter fat, a truly
remarkable record.
But the interesting part of the
story is that the heifer was sired
by Gallatin Browney, a Brown Swiss
bull bred by w. o. Bohart of Boze-
man and shown by him in 1919 to the
championship of the National Dairy
show, as well as the Waterloo Dairy
congress, the two largest dairy shows
in the world. This bull was sold by
Mr.. Bohart when on the eastern show
circuit and Forest Girl of Lake View
is only one, though perhaps the best
of the many good heifers he has sired

known as one of the best collection
of Brown Swiss cattle in America. HI

SLAYER CUTS UP
BODY BEFORE
CHILDREN
Father Confesses to Brutal
Dismemberment Of Man, He
Killed in Quarrel.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Sept. 90
Louis Rossi, well-known amateur
baseball player, confessed that he
killed Nick Ferrio, last Wednesday
during a melee at Rossi's home, dis
membered the body, even decapitat
ing 1t, and burying the parts. Police
characterized the crime as the most
brutal in Mahonong county annals.
Parts of Ferrio's body were found
by police buried under the cellar
and under the kitchen floor OF
Rossi's home.
Retaliation for an alleged assault
led Rossi first to beat Ferries skull
in with a baseball bat, and later
hack the body to pieces after it was
discovered by his two children, Clare
twelve, and Adam, thirteen, secreted
in closet under stairway.
The crime occurred last Wednes
day afternoon at o'clock, and was
witnessed by three friends of Rossi
Police learned of the Staying through
a number of anonymous telephone
calls. A cousin of Ferrio also asked
the police to investigate, saying she
was certain that the latter had been
murdered.
Rossi confessed he killed Ferrio be.
cause the latter slapped him during
a quarrel in a card game.
Rossi's two children told police
their father had threatened them
with death If they said anything
about Ferrio's body. They had been
forced by their father to help scrub
the kitchen floor after the murder
and wipe away the blood, they said,
