An Expensive Duck Hunt

Ed Lee, an engineer on the Butte,
Anaconda and Pacific railway, ex-
perienced one of the most expensive
hunting trips of his career the other
day.
Shooting from a raft on George
town lake, Lee laid his gun down
while he retrieved some ducks. Just
as he was picking bird from the
water, flock passed overhead. Lee
made grab for his gun, but rocked
the raft and the weapon, slipping
through the logs, sank to the bottom
of the lake. The gun was valued at
$40.

with respect to the demand for

three carloads at an average price OF
$125; three carloads from the Lam

"You can readily see," Secretary

ESTIMATE OF CROP
VALUE $l5O,OOO,OOO
MONTANA DEVELOPMENT ASSO-
CITATION EXPERT ISSUES
OPTIMISTIC REPORT
Individual Income From Each Farm
Placed at $500; Montana Farms
Producing Twice as Much as Two
Years Ago.

Estimated new wealth of more
than $3.50, 100000 will be produced
this year on the farms operating in
this state, according to figures made
public by the Montana Development
association. The estimate is based
on current prices and exceeds by from
s3,00O,O0O to 100000 the pro-
ceeds from farm crops of any year
since 1919. The individual income
from each farm will be about $1,000
for 1928, sum greater than the in
dividual average for 1919, when the
total was larger but had to be divided
among a greater number of farms.
Farm population has declined and
acreage is lower, but actual produc-
ton will be equal to, if not greater
than that of 1919.
Net $500 Per Capita
1t is thought that the proceeds this
year will yield a per capita income
of about $500 for each person on the
farm. Taking an average family of
five this means the average family
this season will receive $4,000 from
the farm, considerably above the in
come for an average industrial fam
lily.
Montana's wheat crop this season
is reater than any the state has yet
produced. With a wheat crop of
about 81, 100000 bushels as compar-
ed with 46,250.000 for 1922 and g.
$4,000 bushels in 1919, it is evil
dent that Montana's production is
greatly gaining over period of years
with smaller acreage each year.
This means more intensive farming
of the wheat crop and the decreased
acreage indicates diversification to
a degree never before practical.
Record Corn Crop
The corn crop is also the largest
in the states history. This year 1t
is estimated that about $4,000
bushels will be produced. In 1922
the production was 5,475,000 bush
els, while in 1919 the total corn pro-
duction for Montana was but $4,000
bushels.
In 1921 total Montana crops pro-
duced s75,010,000; in 1922, $685.
$4,000, while in 1923 Montana will
go away beyond her former records
with over $50, 100000 produced by
Montana farms, or nearly twice that
of 1921. In other words, Montana's
farms are producing twice as much
as they we're two years ago and are
just twice as valuable.

HELENA Is CENTER
FEDERAL PAYROLL
MANY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
MAKE THEIR HEADQUARTERS
AT CAPITAL CITY
There Are $50 Civil Service EN-
ployes; 40 in Veterans Bureau, 70
at Fort Harrison; 81 in Federal
Reserve Bank.

Helena, although the seat of the
state capitol, derives greater advant-
ages in a financial way from the fed
eral than from the state payroll. The
reason is that the federal payroll is
larger. Exact figures are not avail
able but figures are complete enough
to show that there are from 20 to 40
per cent more federal employees in
Helena than there are state employees.
OF the 1900 persons who are on
the states payroll, according to the
state auditors office only It's have
headquarters in Helena. This does
not allow for the legislators who
spend so days in the capital city
every two years or oftener, if sum-
moned, to convene in special assem-
bly,, but even with the advantages of
the legislature, the state fair and the
girls vocational training school it is
doubtful If the states payroll dis
pensed in Helena is as large as that
which comes from Uncle Sam.
To begin with, there are $50 civil
service employees in Helena. Then
there are 40 on the federal payroll
as employees at the Veterans bureau
and there are 70 at Fort Harrison.
The federal reserve bank gives en-
ployment to IS, but of course the
federal reserve bank, strictly speak
ing, is not federal institution, for
its payroll is not met by Uncle Sam
and more properly speaking it is a
private institution which operates as
Uncle Sam directs and for maintain
ing certain financial system re-
ceives advantages and patronage
from the federal government.
In addition to the federal employees
mentioned in the foregoing there are
the heads of the following federal
departments, exclusive of the United
States senator and federal court Of
ficials, who are in Helena only part
of the time:
Bureau of animal industry, bureau
of agricultural economics, bureau of
public roads, forest service, weather
bureau, geological survey, general
land office Fourth field division)
surveyor general, supervisor of sur
veys, reclamation service, immigra-
ton Inspector, railway mail service,
assay office, collector of internal rev.
enue, federal prohibition director.
war finance corporation, and branch
of the United States land office.
Also, there are the administrative

two smaller institutions not enum-

VOLUME NO. OF
HISTORY is OUT
BOOK WAS STARTED BY JAMES
U. SANDERS, FINISHED BY
MISS MACDONALD
David Hilger, State Librarian, Con-
tributes Sketch OF Life of Late Id
brarian; Bradley Contributions
and Sioux History.

Volume No. has been issued by
the Montana Historical library, ana
this volume presents the remainder
of the contributions of Lieutenant
James H. Bradley. While this vol
ume was being prepared for the
printer, James u. Sanders, librarian
of the Historical society, was removed
by death, April IT, 1928, and the
book was completed by Miss Eliza
beth Mcdonald, acting librarian. A
suitable sketch in memory of the late
Mr.. Sanders is published in the vol
ume. 1t was contributed by David
Hilger, now state historical librarian.
The preface of the volume was
written by Miss Mcdonald, who SAID
that the manuscripts of Lieutenant
Bradley, some of which were publish
ed in Volumes 2, and s, were based
upon close observation and informa-
ton obtained largely from first-hand
sources, began in 1871 when he was
stationed at frontier army posts, most
of the time at Fort Benton and Fort
Shaw, and ended with the death in
the battle of the Big Hole in 1877.
Custer Battle Reviewed
Historical writing is based upon
material such as is found in the Brad
ley contributions, Miss Mcdonald con-
tinued in the preface of the volume.
Much of it was obtained first-hand
from men who were leaders in shap-
ing the destinies of this region. The
observations on the beliefs, habits,
and customs of the Blackfeet Indians
are especially valuable, dealing with
them in a period before tribal ways
and manners had been corrupted by
contact with the white men.
1t is fitting that a Montana library
is in position to publish History
of the Sioux" the preface continues.
While much of the narrative deals
with regions other than Montana, the
last great battle of the Sioux nation,
the Custer massacre, was fought In
this state, as a result of which the
Indian power on the continent was
broken forever. To aid in an under
standing of this battle, the account
of Clusters campaign as described by
Major Godfrey, and the notes of Mark
Kellogg, a war correspondent, who
went to his death with Custer, are
presented. While much of the ma
terial on the Sioux was given by Lieu
tenant Bradley in NeilPs History OF
printed in 1873, that
book is now out of print, and is to
be found in collections of Americana.

MONTANA DOCTOR
HAS DRUG CURE
ACHIEVES REMARKABLE RE.
SUIT WITH ADDICTS TAKEN
FROM BUTTE JAIL
After Week of Treatment Man and
Woman Say They No Longer Crave
Drugs and Are Confident They Are
Cured of the Habit.

After six years of labor on the part
of himself and DR.. L. Baldwin OF
Seattle, DR.. Charles A. Ballard OF
Harlowton has discovered, he asserts,
what the medical profession has been
in search of for years-an absolute
cure for the drug habit.
His cure, DR.. Ballard declares, is
a brief course of treatment that kills
the desire for narcotics. Members
of the Silver Bow county sheriffs
force are inclined to repose confid-
ence in DR.. Ballard, for they have
two living examples which they say
are testimonials to the efficacy of his
discovery.
Treats Two Addicts
Less than two weeks ago, DR.. Bal
lard came to Butte and outlined a
plan to Deputy Sheriff Jack Duggan.
In the county jail we're two addicts.
One, man, the son of prominent
Butte family; the other, young, and
rather good looking girl, who had
drifted there from Spokane.
The man had fallen into the habit
nine years ago and each year he des-
cended lower and lower until he lit
orally was in the gutter. His asso-
ciates likewise were addicts. His
family had spent a small fortune on
him.
County authorities did not know
much about the girl. DR.. Ballard
asked permission to take the addlcts
with him to Harlowton.
Specifically, yet with a receptive
mind, Mr.. Duggan, referred the doc
tor to the two addicts. They well
coined the doctor as life saver. That
day they departed with him.
Cured in One Week
Tuesday, exactly one week after
these two addicts left their cells in
the Jail, they returned with DR.. Bal
lard. They we're very weak, as il
subjected to terrific strain.
But they were, according to their
own statements, no longer addicts.
They declared they no longer desired
the drugs. Before the skeptical au-
thorities they solemnly asserted that
in order to prove their complete mas
terry of themselves, they would go to
Jail for any length of time. They de-
clared they could be thrown in with
addicts and could handle drugs, but
never again would they themselves
use them.
The day they left Butte the man
and girl were nervous and shaken.
Today fheir nerVeS are as steady as
those of any normal being.
