Lion Terrorizes Beebe

That huge mountain lion, the
first seen in that section in many
years, is terrorizing the Beebe COM
munity, in Custer county, is the story
brought to Miles City by Herb
Bowers.
The lion, according to Bowers, has
been killing stock and raiding poul-
try yards despite repeated efforts to
kill or capture it. One night recently
the man living on the Bowers place
was awakened by great disturbance
among his chickens. While he was
checking up the casualty list, his dog
chased the marauder to ravine not
far away.
Obtaining a rifle, the man followed
and soon found the lion being held
at bay by the dog. He raised his gun
and fired, but the dog, leaping for
ward, got in line with the weapon
and received the bullet. The lion
escaped. The dog was so badly
wounded it had to be killed.

GYMNASIUM
Heating Plant at State School to Cost
$4,000; Operations to Start This
Fall; To Open Buildings in FAN
of 1924.

An appropriation of $26O,O00 has
been voted by the state board OF ex-
aminers for the erection of two new
buildings at the normal college IN
Dillon the coming year, according 10
an announcement made by Frank
Eliel, Dillon member of the board
Mr.. Eliel said the appropriation
would be divided into three parts.
For the erection of a library build
ing, $125, 900; $4,000 for the build
ing of new gymnasium, and the re-
mainder, $4,000, will defray the
cost of a new heating plant.
The state supervisor of construc-

the buildings. Architects will begin
working on the plans, and within the
next 80 days, it is thought, the spec1-
fications will be complete.
Work on the foundations will be-
gin early this fall, and construction
of the buildings will be pushed dur
ing the coming year. The new addl-
tions to the college will be ready for
use by the beginning of the 1924
fall term.

care of the sick. DR.. Caroline Hedger
child specialist, Chicago, gave a
splendid series of lectures on posi-
tive health standards.
The delegates elected officers
whose duty it will be to work with
extension agents and community
leaders to the end of making the
mothers camp an annual affair to
which every community in the four
counties of Richland, Dawson, Prai-
RE and Fallon will send delegates.
Miss Blanche Lee, state home dem
onstration leader, and Jessie Marion,
Richland county home demonstration
agent, were in charge of the camp.
Much of the success of the camp
was due to the cooperation of Rich
land county people who assisted the
extension agents in arranging for
the camp and in carrying out the
program.
The following delegates were in
attendance at the camp: Mrs. Ed
ward Thorson, Fairview; Mrs. Hal

STATE PIONEER
DIES In SPOKANE
JAMES A. TALBOT PASSES
AWAY AT HOME OF DAUGH-
TER, MRS. LINDEN
Came to Montana in 1868 to Retrieve
Fortune He Lost in Nevada; Built
Up Town of Columbia Falls After
Career in Butte.

James A. Talbot, a Montana
pioneer well known throughout
the state, for many years resi-
dent of Deer Lodge and Silver Bow
counties and later founder of Col
umbia Falls, died at the home of
his daughter in Spokane. His death
is a distinct loss among the old
| timers of Montana.
Mr.. Talbot was vice president of
the First National bank in Butte
from about 1890 to 1908, and was
for years intimately associated in
mining ventures with Judge A. j..
Davis, at that time president of the
bank, and uncle of A. j. Davis. He
was So years of age, having been
born in 1888 in Ohio. He is sur
vived by two daughters, Mrs. May
Talbot Linden, of 628 East Twenty
second street, Spokane, and Mrs. j.
A. Lamb, the wife of DR.. ]. A. Lamb
of Kalispell. The cause of death is
not known, although it was probably
due to infirmities natural to one of
his advanced years.
Mr.. Talbot came to Montana in
1863, and was interested in mining
for many years, in fact until 1890,
when, with the death of his friend
and business associate, A. j. Davis,
his mining operations ceased. He
began his mining career in Califor-
mia in 1857, and amassed consider
able fortune, which he lost later in
operating in Virginia City, Nevada.
He came to Bannack from Nevada
in 1863, to retrieve his fallen for
tunes, and went to work in the mines
for wages. He was among the first
to arrive at Alder Gulch when gold
was discovered there, and mined
with considerable success until 1865.
Shortly afterward he went to Deer
Lodge and Silver Bow counties,
where he lived until about Is years
ago, when he went to Columbia
Falls.
In 1875 he was married to Miss
Jose L. Ransdell, daughter of
Joseph Ransdell. The Ransdell fam
lily was also known throughout Mon
tana, and particularly in Butte, hav-
ing been among the earliest pioneers.
Mr.. and Mrs. Talbot had seven chill
dren, only two of whom are living
at this time.
During the years III buIIe MT. TAI
bott accumulated large amount of
property. He was universally known
to be honorable and upright in all
his dealings, and was beloved for his
splendid traits of character and his
cordial and genial manner.
About ID years ago Mr.. Talbot
moved to Columbia Falls, where he
lived until last year, when he went
to live with his daughter, Mrs. Lin
den, of Spokane. During the time
he lived at Columbia Falls he did
much to settle the community, hav-
ing operated successfully in land and
townsites.
He came of long-lived family, his
mother having lived to the age of SO,
and his father was past SO when he
died. His parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joshua Talbot, were early settlers
in Ohio. His father was of Irish
descent, and was successful Ohio
farmer, and his mother, who was
Miss Alkaline l.. Williams, came from
an English family.

Bureau Doubles Work

'The federal bureau has assisted in
handling the labor situation in the
harvest from Texas to the Canadian
line. The bureau has doubled its
organization this year and has open
ed new offices for directing the labor
movement.
"a large part of the labor recruit
ed has been among the white workers
of the south, industrial development
in the southern states having been
slower there. In meeting the labor
situation, 10000 workers have been
brought in from outside, 100000 Of
these into Kansas"
Mr.. fuckers estimate for Montana
labor needs were 1000 men for the
northeastern part of the state and a
similar number for the Judith Basin.
Some workers will be recruited from
the northern sections where grass
hoppers have lessened the crop.
He said that the United States
wheat crop will be from 100000
acres and means 100000, 900 put in
to channels of trade from this source.

THE second annual leaders train
ing camp for women of eastern
Il Montana was held recently at
Coverings Grove, near Sidney.
Twenty-six delegates, representing
the four counties-Richland, Daw-
son, Prairie and Fallon - attended
the camp.
An interesting and instructive pro-
gram was carried out and enjoyed
by the delegates and many visitors
who came to the camp. Practical in
struction in culling poultry was in
charge of Miss Harriet Cushman,
poultry specialist from the state COL
lege at Bozeman. Food and health
scores and planning of family meals,
were given by Miss Hunter, nutrition
specialist. Mrs. Waring field nurse
from the state board of health, Hell
ena, gave helpful instruction and de-
monstrations in first aid and home

Fergus at Disadvantage

The situation in Fergus county and
the Judith Basin is especially bad,
since it is not on direct east and west
railways and means a roundabout
course for incoming labor. The new
service will center largely in assuring
flow of labor to these districts. A
slightly higher wage may have to be
paid in that district in order to turn
labor in that direction, Mr.. Tucker
said.
The work under Mr.. Tucker in the
federal bureau is largely with the en-
ployment of seasonal farm labor, in
the cotton, wheat, apple, potato and
beet districts. The aim of the de-
partment is to keep labor distributed,
meet unemployment conditions and
recruit labor where needed.
There is shortage of farm labor
all over the country, Mr.. Tucker
said. Eighteen months ago there
we're from 100000 to 100000 I'M
employed. Today there are hardly
enough to meet the demand, industry
having built up during the last year
to almost the point of saturation for
labor. Railway extensions, improved
conditions in the steel business and
allied industries have been largely re-
sponsible for this, he said.
''The number of laborers going,
from the farms to the industrial CEN
tiers has almost doubled" said Mr..
Tucker. 1.-THE reason for this is not
difficult to find. Farming has been
a depression. Farm labor
has been seeking out fields in which
there is a better market for its SER
vices.
"Of the 100000 people in the
United States engaged in labor, H.
100000 are farm laborers and $780,
600 are "dirt farmers to be classed
with these. That means that about
half of the labor of the United States
is normally employed on the farms.
When this supply is short, it affects
the whole country.

SUPPLY FARMERS
HARVEST HANDS
STATE-FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT
BUREAU BEING OPENED
IN GREAT FALLS.
Montana Needs 5000 Additional Men
to Help With Harvest; Wage $3.50
and 81, Board and Lodging; Coun-
ty Agents to Help.

OPENING of a state-federaI en-
pIoyment bureau in Great Falls and
a similar one In Bainville viii be
the basis of campaign for harvest
labor for Montana. These plans
were made at conference in Great
Falls recently between George e.
Tucker of Kansas City, field di-
rector for farm labor for the feder-
al labor bureau; @. ID. Greenfield,
Jr., state employment director, and
j. @. Taylor of Bozeman, county
agent leader.
The Great Falls employment office
is open under the direction of rep
resentative of the federal bureau.
Another representative of the bureau
will be stationed at Bainville and one
or two field men will be engaged to
handle temporary and local labor
problems. The basis of cooperation
of state and federal departments will
be for the state to provide office
space and furniture, as well as the
current expenses of such offices,
while the federal bureau will provide
the men to handle the offices.
Advertising for labor outside the
state of Montana will be a purely
state enterprise. The greater part of
this advertising will be done in cities
to the west, the experience of the
state officers have been that virtual
" all of the labor open to be re-
cruited for Montana comes from that
direction. With this in mind, adver-
Using for harvest hands will be CEN
tered in Spokane, Seattle and Port
land.
Labor needs for Montana are esti-
mated in the neighborhood of 5000
harvest hands by Mr.. Tucker. OF this
number, Mr.. Greenfield estimates
that between 5000 and $500 must
come from outside the state. The
number of outside workers needed
would be less we're it possible to turn
all unemployed of the cities to the
harvest fields. In Great Falls, Bill
ings, Helena and Butte there are sew
eral hundred unemployed who will
not accept jobs on farms.
The county agents will act in CO.
operation with the federal-state en-
ployment service in making known
labor needs and distrib-
lting labor as surplus develops in
any communities.
The going wage in Montana so far
his season has been $3.50 and 81 a
day for harvest hands, board and !
room being provided. Mr.. Greenfield |
iaid. Northeastern Montana will be
provided in part by labor from the
last. Western Montana has its sup
lily from the west, but central Mon
ana is in the center between the two
ind suffers in case of a general labor
demand, Mr.. Greenfield pointed out.

Out of Debt

AS my green old age draws closer
/ am glad Pm out of debt; as / said
to Griggs, the grocer, credit is mans
one best bet; age is shorn of half its
terrors If the lod man has the price |;
debt is ranked with mortal errors
which make life as cold as ice. In
life's blooming spring and summer,
man should work and save the
dimes, as I've said to Pink, the
plumber, forty seven thousand
times; then his neighbors will ad-
nlire him as man of sense and
thrift, and fair damsels will desire
him as a nuptial Christmas gift
There is always open trackage and
an endless right Of way for the man
who has package in the mothballs
put away. And when comes life's
bitter winter, and he's tired and
longs for rest, as I've said to Prigg,
the printer, he has got his treasure
chest; yea. he has his keg of shill-
ings. which are dripping from the
bung-coin he earned by ceaseless
drillings in the days when he was
young. And he does not need to
shiver with the dread of charity; he
can journey in his fivver with his
handbook on his knee; he can eat a
lordly dinner. he can drink from
silver bowl; as I've said to Todd, the
timer, there is nothing like a roll.

Alfred Cortot's Recital.

A large and enthusiastic audience
listened to the brilliant program OF
piano compositions which were given
exceptionally original interpretations
by Alfred Corot, the distinguished
French pianist. at the National Thea
ter yesterday afternoon. His con-
brings to mind Rachmaninoff and
Hofmann, rather than the More velvet
notes of Paderewski, yet there is a
distinct individuality all his own in
the vivid coloring he gives to all COM
positions. - -. e.

M. Cortot himself, proved a compost
tion full of decided contrasts in
tinkling treble trills and resounding
bass chords. It was most interesting
and was followed; by Chopin's always
delightful "Andarfte Spianato ct Pol
onaise, one OF the most popular num-
bers on the program. 80
Chopin's Sonata in B Flat Minor
(Opus 35) was given in its entirety.
This number afforded special Interest
because Of the fact that Olga Sama-
ron played 1t only a few weeks ago
in the Master Pianists'. series. M.
Cortot's Interpretation differed con-
siderab1y from that given the com
position by Nine. Samaroff. It was
in his reading of the famous funeral
march; the. third movement Of che
sonata, that M. Cortot's originality
was particularly in evidence Cho-
pins "A, Minor Etude" was given as
the encore to this number.
The next group, Debussy's quaint
"Chtldren's Corner" aroused q great
deal OF enthusiasm. The numbers In
cluded Doctor Gradus-- ad Parnas-
sum-" "Jumbo's Lullaby" "Serenade
Of the DOLL Snow Is Dancing" f"The

The last group included weber's

Of these seemed more brilliantly
played than the preceding number
