WALTER ANDERSON
PIONEER EDITOR

Walter Anderson, Sc years of age,
and one of Montana's pioneer news
paper men, died last week after a
brief illness. Mr.. Anderson had been
a resident of this state since 1877.
Upon his arrival in Montana Mr..
Anderson identified himself with the
newspaper business and in the years
that followed owned or served as edi-
tor of several leading dailies. His
first activities were centered in Coul-
son, an early day town on the yell
lowstone river, below Billings, long
since numbered among Montana's
ghost cities.
Later his work took him to Living
ston, where he edited the Livingston
Post. From that place he went to
Billings to the Billings Gazette and
a number of years ago took over the

tablished farm colony near Eureka
Montana, where disabled veterans are
being established and trained upor
their own farms. The land was OBJ
tanned through the agency of the
Tobacco Valley Development associa
ton at a reasonable price and or
liberal terms, being amortized over
a period of twenty years. Generous
financial support to cover the neces-
sary improvements and development
of the land has been advanced to the
veterans by the bankers at Eureka.
| Already eleven veterans and their
families have settled there and the
number is expected to be increased
to twenty or more before next spring.
Most of the men now on the project
are engaged in the raising of bees
and poultry, the location being con-
sidered admirably suited to this phase
of agriculture. Two are specializing
in dairying, and one is engaged in
general farming. The farms average
Al acres in size.
These men are under the immedi-
ate supervision of Veterans bureau
representative, who is stationed at
Eureka. During the period of his
training each man receives an allow
ance ranging from $4,000 to $4,000
per month if single, and additional
allowance for his dependents. He is
also furnished by the government
with tools and machinery, not to ex-
coed $500 in value.
In lieu of resident school training
the veterans are enrolled with the
state college of agriculture at Boze-
man, Montana, in correspondence
courses in agriculture, and these they
are required to pursue diligently.
Special agricultural supervisors visit
their places from time to time to in
struct them and to note their pro-
gress.
The location of this colony is very
favorable. The soil is sandy, of gla-
cial loan and clay, easy to handle,
and suitable for grain, alfalfa, vege-
tables, small fruits and pasture. The
valley is hemmed in and protected
by mountains. There are good roads,
and the town of Eureka and several
other towns are only few miles
away. Produce put on the trains at
Eureka at night is in Spokane the
next morning.

DOUBLE MURDER in
HOUSE OF TRAGEDY
GEORGE RAJONOVICH KILLS HIS
WIFE AND THEN TAKES
HIS OWN LIFE
House Where Killing Took Place
Was Scene of Murder of Woman's
First Husband; Insanity Due to
Illness Believed Cause.

Sudden insanity following months
of illness is believed to have caused
John Rajonovich to kill his wife and
then take his own life, at Butte a
few days ago. Mrs. Rajonovich was
the widow of Capt. Ludwig Adler, a
prominent Austrian, who met death
at the hands of a bandit in 1911 dur
ing an attempted holdup at the same
house. Later she married the man
who took her life few days ago.
Johnny Adler, 13-year-old son Of
the murdered woman, was the lone
witness of the second part of the dou-
BILE tragedy. The lad was awakened
by the shot which killed his mother
and peered into the small bedroom
in time to see Rajonovich point the
revolver at his throat and fire.

WOOL CLIP FOR 1923
WAS 1867, 900 POUNDS

| Montana's 1923 wool clip exceeded
that of 1922 by $4,000 pounds an6
the prospects for sheep and stockmer
of the state during 1924 are above
normal, according to e. A. Gray, gen
eral agent for the Chicago and North
western railway, who is familiar with
the activities in the wool industry
and who has compiled figures for the
last year.
Mr.. Gray submits the following
figures:
1923 wool clip, 17,567.000 pounds.
1922 wool clip. 16,72S.OOO pounds.
1923 increase S44, 900 pounds.
Some Montana clips were hauled
to Dakota points for shipment
One third of the crop was con-
signed to the National Wool ware
house company, Chicago.
One third to Philadelphia and Bos-
ton commission houses and less than
a third sold at prices ranging from
3S cents to 52h cents on care in
Montana.
The Montana railroad commission
reports that 524 cars of wool we're
shipped from the state which prac-
tically confirms the figures above.
Mr.. Gray stated that Montana wool
was of excellent quality and the out
look is good for growers securing
net prices of more than As cents per
pound Since shipping, some woods
have sold at Chicago netting Montana
growers AZ to 4S cents per round.
To date the winter has been ex-
ceptionally favorable to sheep and
stockmen and prospects for 1924 are
above normal.

Settlers for Mission Valley

During the last few months Larson
brothers, real estate agents, have
brought % families to the Chariot
country to settle on land. These
families represent 81 persons and
they are from Iowa, Illinois, Nebras-
ka, Utah and Idaho. They have
bought 2,280 acres of land, involving
$1,000. These farmers are staunch
believers in diversified farming. They
are confident that in the Mission val
ley they have found ideal conditions
for agricultural success.

Turning Corn Into Pork Chops


1t is quite evident that with the
increase of corn acreage in Roosevelt
county, there will be constant in
crease in hog production which has
been practically demonstrated the last
year.
Already Roosevelt county has ship
ped Fl carloads of hogs from its ship
ping points, and it is expected that
there ara at least IA more to go to
market. This will be an increase of
80 carloads over any previous year,
and a realization of the fact that this
industry is, and will gradually grow.
There are also a large number of
breeding stock being held over an
other year, and it is estimated that
there will be a substantial increase
next year, if proper precaution is
taken. This county has experienced
time and again, enormous losses of
pigs at narrowing time, due to the
fact that iodine treatment was not
used to prevent the pigs from being
born hairless.
Iodine treatment is a sure proven
tive. of this disease, if started early
enough and now is the time to start.
Full information regarding potassium
iodine can be secured by writing the
county agents office.

BANKS In BUTTE
COUNT MORE COIN
GAIN IN DEPOSITS is SHOWN IN
RECENT REPORTS OF MINING
CITY INSTITUTIONS

An almost unprecedented gain in
savings deposits in the Butte banks
during 1923 indicative of the trend
toward prosperity in the mining city,
was shown during the annual meet
ing of several large banks held. Co
ing through the Formally of re-elect-
ing officers the banks made no
change in their stats or in the di-
rectorates, the only change being in
the big increase of deposits.
Annual statements for the govern
meRt we're compiled this week and
when given to the directors yester-
day showed that by December 81 of
the year just closed there was an
increase of about s3,500,000 in de-
posits over 1922. Aggregate deposits
in six banks in 1923 amounted to
$29,739, 900 and in 1922 to $26,137,-
600. Resources in the banks have
increased in one year from $29,300,
600 to $32,4S4,O0O.
1t was also reported at the meet
ings that since January |, in fact in
one week, there has been literal run
in the banks with deposits. One
banker declared that he has never
seen such condition for the first
week of the new year, which is gen.
orally dull as regards putting money
into the banks. He declared that
plenty of money is being spent in
the stores, as merchants have told
him the week past and the past two
days were big ones in business lines.
The general opinion is that people
are being more discriminating in
Butte regarding the spending of their
money and that instead of putting it
into luxuries it is going into clothing.
and groceries and into the banks.

Boy Tells of Scene

| He looked ike ne was SnaKlnSi
was scared and turned away" the
lad said in describing the second ira
gedy in his life, which was enacted
less than five yards from the room
where he slept with four other small
boys, all sons of the woman through
her two marriages.
Rajonovich. who fired two shots
into his head, dropped upon the body
of his wife and writhed for a mo-
ment before slipping to the floor
alongside the bed. A .38 caliber
Colts revolver was tightly held in his
left hand. 1t had sent bullet into
Mrs. Rajonovich's abdomen, probably
after she had been struck blow
from an axe in the first frenzy of the
man. A three-inch cash showed be-
hind the left ear of the woman, while
an axe lay on the floor near Rajono-
vich's body. The killing happened
about 4:45 O'Clock, the hour when
Mr.. and Mrs Rajonovich were ac-
customed to arise to prepare for the
boarders at their place. The woman
had apparently not awakened while
Rajonoyich, who, was fully dressed.
seemed to have just arisen.
Afraid of Husband
Only the night before, when she
retired several hours after her hus-
band, Mrs. Rajonoyich mentioned to
a woman roomer in the house that
she was afraid of her husband on ac-
count of his condition following his
attacks of sickness, which had ne
cessitated three operations in the last
several years. He had never threat
ened her, but sieges of pain which
forced Rajonovich frequently to pace
the floor at night, had alarmed his
wife, according to statements of rela-
tives.
Murder and suicide by one believed
insane solved the story of the early
morning affair in most minds, but
the peculiar wounds received by RAJ
jonovich caused the authorities to
secure statements from all witnesses.
Rajonovich was shot once under the
right jaw and once in almost the ex-
act spot on the other side of his neck.
The bullet on the right side missed
the jugular vein, passed upward and
lodged near the skin little above /
the right ear. The other bullet cut |
the jugular on the left side, passed |
upward and is thought to be buried |
in the brain. The gun was found in
the left hand of the dead man and
this led to the supposition that when
the wounds were inflicted he fired
first under the right jaw and the sec
ond shot followed in an instant as he
reeled toward the bed. Deputy Sher-
ifs Jack Duggan and Pat Holland
say that it was with difficulty they 1
the revolver from Rajono-
vich's grasp. There were three empty
shells in it, and two loaded shells
remained.
