Another meeting of the wheat
growers and leaders of the four
states will be held at Moscow, Idaho,
next Saturday. The Gooding bill,
which provides that the government
fix the price of wheat by buying at

OSTEOPATHS end
1928 CONVENTION

The osteopathic physicians of Mon
tana concluded their three-day con-
vention at Chico Hot Springs with
the election of DR.. Asa Willard, Mis-
soula, president; DR.. j. H. Strowd,
Glendive, vice president; DR.. w. c..
Dawes, Bozeman, secretary-treas-
urer ~(re-elected), and DR.. Alice
Strowd, Glendive, trustee. DR.. Asa
Willard was elected as delegate to
the national convention which will be
held in Kirksville, Mo-, next August,
and DIR. W. c.. Dawes, alternate. The
time and place of the next meeting
was left to the officers and trustees.
Among the resolutions passed by
the convention were the following:
Resolved, That we deplore the con-
dition existing in the Montana hos
pitfalls, particularly the Methodist
hospitals, which prevents the patient
from calling the physician of their
choice, and we earnestly hope that
this condition will soon be eemedied
so that the patient may call any Ii
censed physician.
Resolved, That inasmuch as many
wounded and disabled soldiers and
sailors have been greatly benefited
and oftimes cured by treatment from
osteopathic physicians, we deplore the
fact that official regulations prevent
the osteopathic physicians from rem
dering this service to the ~ex-servic'
men under the jurisdiction of the gov
eminent.
Resolved, That we stand solidly be
hind all government, officials in al
their efforts to enforce the laws 0
the nation, and especially the enforce
ment Of the eighteenth amendmen
and the Volstead law.

PORK EXPORTS 60 Up
HOG PRICES GO down

A very pertinent illustration that
prices Of farm products do not de-
pend upon exports is furnished by the
present prices of hogs and the eX-
ports of pork products. The last bull
letin on crops and markets issued by
the U. S. department of agriculture
gave a statistical report Of the live
stock and meat situation for May,
1928, compared with previous years.
The average May price Of hogs,
medium weight, at Chicago this year
was $7.67. The average price for the
same grade of hogs in Chicago for
the month of May, 1922, was $1O.65.
The average May price for the three
years, 1920-21-22, was SLIPS.
There was exported in May this
year 1881 900 pounds of fresh pork,
against only 684,000 pounds in May a
year ago, and against an average OF
only 1,824,000 pounds for the month
of May in the three years 1920-21-22.
There was exported in May this
year 6o,9JJ,OOO pounds OF cured pork
against only 46, 400 900 pounds in May
a year ago, and an average of So $685.
600 pounds during May in 1920-21-22.
There was exported 9~5,343,000
pounds of lard in May this year as
against 81, 1892, 1000 pounds a year ago
and an average of 54,481, 900 pounds
during May for the three years 1920
21-22.
Thus it will be seen that the ex-
ports of pork products during May
this year were from so to 100 per
cent greater than during the the
same month last year, and for the
three year average, yet the price of
hogs was SO less in May this year
than in May last year, and $500 less
than for the three year average.

While a research committee of the
wheat council of the United States
and the United States chamber of
commerce in Chicago on Tuesday an
nounced reports of over-production
of wheat were exaggerated, and rail-
road executives in conference with
Omaha business men said they would
further consider the proposal to re-
duce freight rates on wheat, the price
of that cereal advanced in the Chi
cagO market to S1.01, an increase of
6 cents.
Depressed market conditions we're
attributed by the research committee
to reports of surplus production and
resolutions adopted declared a study
of the situation did not bear out esti-
mates. Adefinite research program
was begun which will report on Sep
TENDER "a.
Railroad executives who recently
refused to make rate reductions in
freight on wheat were asked to re-
consider their action by the Omaha
chamber of commerce. The executives
were reported as agreeing to consid-
er the matter further and would com
municate later with the Omaha com
mercial organization.
The program adopted by the re-
search committee was designated to
develop facts concerning wheat con
sumption; to analyze steps taken by
the department of agriculture during
the war to stimulate wheat acreage
with a view Of reversing the process
back to normal acreage; to develop
accurate figures on the sections il
which readjustment Of wheat acreage
is possible with a view of concentrat
ing on these sections.
The increase in the market price
of wheat, the best since July 10, wa
estimated as adding a 100000
value to the wheat crop.

THE BOY SCOUTS

Scoutmaster kuSsman informs us
that seven boys enrolled as members
of the Boy Scouts at the meeting held
in the schoolhouse last Nj onday eve
ming. There must be few more
boys enroll before the troop can be
mustered into actual service. The
troop expects to hold regular weekly
meetings on each Monday evening,
when program of entertainment and
instruction will be given The next
meeting Of the troop will be held at
the schoolhouse in Wood on Monday
evening, September 10, when it is
hoped to swell the enrolment to at
least ten, and then the troop will be-
gin actual scout work.
Each troop is limited to member
ship Of 81, and when the mem mbership
reaches that number no more can be
taken in. Boys twelve years OF age
and over are eligible to membership
and parents should encourage their
boys to become members Of this great
boys organization. The teachings
and training they will receive as Boy
Scouts will make of them better men
and citizens. Remember the meeting
at the schoolhouse on Monday evening
September 10, and if you are eligible
to membership be present. There
will be a program given that evening
1t might be well to have a tax with
.,,outmaster Kussman before that
date if you contemplate becoming a
member of this troop.

wood, where we again boarded autoes
and soon were enroute to Sylvan Lake.
by way of Hill City. On this route
we passed the old town of Sheridan,
and got view of the old log cabin
in which the first term of federal
court was held (1S77) in the Hills
country. The cabin is still in very
good state of preservation. We ar
rived at Sylvan Lake about 700 p.
M, and were served a most appetizing
dinner at the Lake hotel This is a
very beautiful spot and it is here
where the real scenery of the Hills is
to be found. The lake itself is an
artificial body Of water, but it is a
beautiful body of water and filled
with fish. Here we discovered a new
use for newspapers. Sine of the
boys wanted to try their hand at
fishing They found hooks and lines
but had no bait, so they baited their
hooks with small pieces of newspapers
and they were soon kept busy landing
croppies and perch, and it WASH t
very long until they had caught
enough fish for breakfast. There was
dancing in the pavilion in the even
ing. After spending the night at the
Lake we all boarded autoes furnished
by the good people of Custer, at about
eight o'clock the next morning and
took up our journey to Custer via the
new Needles road to the state lodge
This drive gives one the very best
scenery to be found in the Hills. The
road is a good one, built by the state
and gravelled all the way. The
Needles are wonderful and are unlike
anything we have ever seen in the
scenic line anywhere. They are worth
the trip alone, and with the good
road that leads through them no one
visiting the Hills can afford to miss
this truly wonderful scenic part of
the Hills. At the State game lodge
we were served mighty fine dinner
Here we were given a view of herd
of deer, SINE buffalo, black bean,
porcupine, bobcat, and other animals.
We also had short visit with c. B.
Holland and family, and Mrs. c. F.
Manson of White River, who were
enjoying the delights of this scenic
spot. Senator Peter Norbeck was also
there and is at present living in his
cabin near the lodge. At Sylvan Lake
the night before we had the pleasure
! of meeting Congressman Williamson,
who this summer built cabin in
the Hills and he and his family arc
spending the summer there among
the pines.
After the delightful dinner at the
State Game Lodge We continued our
journey to Custer, where we were
given hearty welcome by chorus
of girls and the Ukelele Club at the

Oil Drillers Quit When Ghost
Of Victim of Accident Appears

Billings, Mont, Aug. 24.-Losing OF
tools is familiar cause for stopping
oil-wsi drilling, but at the Murray
rig at Lake Basin the drilling has
ceased because the crew lost their
nerve after seeing for four nights in
succession the ghost Of mate who
was killed by fall from the derrick
two months ago.
Four nights the specter OF Bill Gull
bertson has returned to the derrick
and has stood on the exact spot on
the beams from which he fell. Thurs
day morning moss Of the workers hur-
ried into Billings and resigned their
jobs. Others remained to see whether
Culbertsons ghost would come back
fifth time, before deciding to quit
or stay.
Roy Foley, who was employed on
the rig, told the story Immediately
after his resignation Thursday morn
ing, to Art Wismeyer, local represen-
tative of the we'll He said five men
of the crew were sitting on the planks
leading from the rig to the engine
room, Sunday night. They were sing
ing songs, when Culbertson's appari-
ton appeared on the derrick, about
half way to the top, and left the five
men speechless and songless.
Monday night at about the same
time it returned. Tuesday night it
did the same.
A short time after drilling was be-
gun one of the Murrays was in Mime
apolis on business. More for a joke
than anything else, he visited widely
known clairvoyant for the purpose OF
asking how the we'll would finish from
producing standpoint. She declared
that man would be killed on the rig
before the oil-bearing sands were
penetrated.
Murray Immediately telephoned by
long distance q warning to be more
than usually cautious at the well. A
! short time after he had returned, Gull
bertson was killed.

herd of buffalo in that park and we
got a really fine view of the herd,
and we also were shown herd Of

Wind Cave for trip though this,
perhaps the largest natural cave III the
world. Owing to the lateness of the
hour we only made short trip into
this wonderful cave, going as far
as what is known as G.. A. r. hail.
which is about $50 feet underground.
This cave is one of the real wonders
of the hills and is visited by thous-
ands of people every year. 1t is
operated by Uncle Sam and is open
to the public the year round. The
stars were shining when we got out
of the cave, and the Hot Springs
Commercial Club had a good supply
Of sandwiches, doughnuts, pickles and
hot coffee to serve the hungry pen
pushers at the mouth of the cave and
everyone certainly showed their appre-
citation of this courtesy. We arrived
IN Hot Springs about nine O'Clock
Friday evening.
Saturday morning the party was
shown the sights about Hot Springs,
including the National and State
Soldiers Homes, and their famous
plunge. Some Of the golf players of

heavy rains in the Bad Lands are
reported to have left the roads il,

All this section needs is more pub
licity, and there is no good reason
why the tourists should not visit

year. The scenery is there-the finest
to be seen anywhere and after viewing
