SWANSEA, Wales. October S1-The
proceedings of the political meeting
which Premier Baldwin addressed
here yesterday were overshadowed by
the death of Andrew Bonar Law, to
whom the premier paid eloquent trib-

His speech dealt almost entirely
with trade and unemployment ques-
tions, but he gave no details Of his
contemplated protectionist policy, be-
yond saying 1T was under examina-
ton.

merciless attacks of foreign compe-

Fault of UniOnism.
He justified the workers standing
1ast by trade unionism. but argued
that it was very lopsided form OF
protection that trade unionism gave
the worker, since it left him entirely
unprotected against attacks on his
standard of life by free and unre-
stricted imports produced by LABOR
with which he could not compete.
Contending that the system of free
trade, introduced when steam was In

Predicting that he would get much
support from labor. which naturally
is protectionist. the prime minister
concluded:

possible, conquer, and when the time

500 Sheep Lost in Stampede

Five hundred sheep were lost in a
"pileup' in the mountains forest re.
serve west of Simms, in a stampede
when the band became frightened by
coyotes. The sheep were in the care
of a herder and belonged to the Power
interests of Helena. The accident to
the band happened as the sheep were
being taken across a ravine when a
coyote stampeded the flock, driving
them over a cut bank, where a general
s%mothering took place. Pileups were
frequent in the old stockraising days
in this state, sometimes being caused
by extreme cold in winter, but mostly
by frightened animals, and rarely by
negligence of men in charge of the
stock.

The rioting started at the close of

Klansmen off the field and destroyed
the cross.
The Klansmen rallied and there was
a general fight. Policemen and firemen

three-district irrigation project now
being built, so he has driven the
dredge crew off his place. Gust didn't
waste any time in formalities. He
lust told members of the dredge crew
he didn't want 'em around. They
agreed with Gust-at the time. Gust
had a rifle and a "six-gun' to back up
his argument. Now the dredge is idle
until contractors can get action in the
courts through condemnation proceed
ings. But In the meantime Gust holds
the fort. According to Eberlein, the
dredge can be moved anywhere except
across his land. He has built a fence
across the line of the projected ditch
and defies the contractors to tear it
down.

LAKES AND RIVERS CLAIM
LARGEST TOLL OF LIVES

Montana's more than $1,000 automo
biles, while responsible for a repre,
table number Of deaths, do not in tn,
summer months take as many lives il
this state as do the lakes and stream,
of the Treasure state, figures compiled
by the bureau of vital statistics of tn.
department Of health show.
Totals have not been compiled 70,
all of 1922 or for the months to date
of the present year, but sufficient com.
pilations have been made to show that
there are fewer deaths from automo.
bile accidents than from drowning.
Drownings are increasing rapidly
and while he month of July this year
may not be a normal month it shows
that more people lost their lives in
the water than were killed in train and
automobile accidents combined, or in
these combined plus street car acct
dents.
For July the figures are &c drowned :
six killed in straight auto accidents,
13 killed in combined train and auto
mobile smashups and six killed in
straight train accidents.
Automobiles, trains and street cars
took a combined total of % lives, or
three less than the water alone took.
1t is the opinion Of the department
officials that the general impression
that automobiles are the most deadly
accidental causes is due to the fact
that suto smashups are likely to be
more sensational and receive more
newspaper prominence.
lightning cost five lives in Montana
in July and these are the only acct
dental deaths that are not classified
as "avoidable." Even so, it is said
that some deaths due to lightning
could be averted if people would not
seek shelter under trees during heavy
transforms.
Vital statistics tell many interesting
stories. and while some of them can
not be made public, enough can be to
show that the bureau often has in its
possession food" for thought. In one
county in July there was not
a natural death, although eight or 10
were killed. Butte has the largest
number of automobiles, it's rate run
ming ahead of its per capita number
Of machines. Children who die from
exposure or lack of maternal atten-
ion also reach large numbers.

TOBACCO MAKES GOOD
YIELD IN MONTANA
Worden Farmer, Experienced Tobacco
Grower, Predicts Weed Will
Be Potential Industry
Treasure State News In
Tabloid Review

Tobacco as a potential industry in
Montana is a possibility. The tobacco
plant grows larger here and natures
more quickly than it does in other
leading tobacco growing sections of
he United States, and the product is
equal, if not superior, in quality to
that grown anywhere else.
These are the conclusions of ]. w.
Tucker of Worden, in Yellowstone
county, % miles east of Billings, a to-
bacco grower of 20 years experience
In Kentucky and Ohio, where he lived
before coming to this state. He has
experimental with tobacco for several
years at Worden and this year has a
field of one-twelfth of an acre, the
plants of which are fully -four feet high
and which he estimates will yield at
the rate of 1900 to 1900 pounds an
acre, of tobacco which last year had
a market value of $31 a hundred
pounds.
Another advantage in growing to-
bacco in this country which Mr..
Tucker has found, is the fact that so
far in his experience, there have been
no worms or other insect pests to
bother it in the slightest.
A number of Mr.. fuckers neighbors
on the Huntley irrigation project, have
become interested in tobacco growing
and what may easily become a poten-
tial industry for this section of the
country is this year being given a trial
on a half dozen or more irrigated
farms in that section of the Yellow
stone valley.
Mr.. Tucker set out his tobacco plants
the first of June and irrigated them
once each week during June and July
but not in August. They will be cut
a few days. The leaves of the
plants are wide and with a rich color
and the plants, Mr.. Tucker says, will
average about one-half pound of to-
bacco each. The land upon which he
IS growing it is heavy soil containing a
little gumbo, but seems admirably
to the tobacco. He says he
has never seen tobacco anywhere grow
50 rapidly and so large and develop
and mature so quickly. and declares
lis belief that with proper care the
can be made to yield a ton to the
lcre.

Lightning Sets Oil Tank Attire

San Francisco, Cal. - Electrical
storms, unusual for this season of the
year in this region, set fire to oil
tanks and smashed power transform
ers on the east side of San Francisco
bay. Two tanks with a capacity OF
100000 barrels, containing naptha dis
tillate, on the Standard Oil company
tank farm at San Pablo, were set
Rfire.
Lightning struck a flagpole on the
Oakland city hall and put the lighting
system out of commission. Fires
caused by lightning were reported
from Richmond. Hundreds of fire
fighters emptied the burning distillate
from the tanks and diverted it into a
creek, which runs through the farm
to the bay, a mile and a half away.
