that the following item, taken from
Twin City paper, refers to Pat
Galivan who at one time resided
here and had a homestead on the

sity Of Minnesota, was instantly
killed today when his head was
caught under the heavy iron gate
of dumping truck. Galivan had
been working only two days and his

COMPARES CONDITIONS
In CALF. AND MONT.

In an address delivered at a
banquet at Cut Bank, Judge John
J. Green of Choteau, told of his
observations on recent tour of Cal
ifornia. Industrially and agricul-
turally conditions in the coast state
are no better than in Montana, said
Judge Greene.
In California, it is not unsual, to
see many buildings only partly COM
pleted because financial interests
have refused to advance money with
which to finish them. For this reas-
on, he continued, owners are offer
ing offices and apartments for sale,
giving a deed to the rooms in order
to raise funds to complete the con
struction.
Judge Greene told of deplorable
labor conditions in every city he Wis
tied in California, there being hosts |
of men out of work caused by the
influx of those seeking ''the bag of |
gold at the end of the rainbow"
Farming conditions in California
along the route travelled
by Judge Greene, where land is val
led at 5000 to $500 an acre, are
much worse than in Montana, he
aid.
Montana has had no inflated land
'alues." the judge continued, "and
most of the actual dirt farmers are
esiding on their own land and max
ng a success of it." He stated his
elief that farmers who summer
allowed and diversified would ult- Z
nately come into their own in Mon
ana.

home with his seven weeks old son,
Anton Ulmonek, reputed bootlegger,
exchanged scores of shots with be-
sieging police Sunday on his farm
at Hodgkins, ILL.,, before he finally
was subdued.
Crazed by moonshine liquor, said
to have been of his own distillation,
Ulmonek threw his wife through a
closed window and hurled after her
two of the children, Mary II years,
and Tony, 18 months.
Mrs. Ulmonek who had been cut
by the glass, ran screaming to the
home of neighbors. After Ulmonek
had frustrated efforts of neighbors
to remove the baby an appeal for
assistance was sent to the neighbor-
ing town of LAGRANGE.
By firing rifles and shot guns
from windows on all sides of the
house, Ulmonek kept the police at
bay. He was captured after he had
boldly stepped out in front of the
house and fired point blank at +!

Campaign Contributions.
The recent disclosures as to the
contributions Of individuals and or
carnations to the campaign funds
of both parties, it is said, will ex-
ercise a salutary effect. Senator
Walsh, Democrat, of Montana, has
a drastic bill now pending in the
Senate Judiciary committee and Sen
ator McKellar, also Democrat, Of
Tennessee, has presented a bill to
limit campaign contributions through
the imposition of heavy penalties.
His bill restricts individual contri-
buttons in national campaigns to
$500 for Presidential electors, or
800 in the election of members, of
Congress. Furthermore, the Nickel
lar bill provides that contributions
shall be limited to one political par
5y and one candidate. Regardless of

High Points On Foot
And Mouth Disease

California State Dept. of Agricul-
ture).
Owing to the existence of foot
and mouth disease in California it
is of the utmost Importance that the
people of our State familiarize
themselves with the nature and
character of the malady, in order
that the necessary precautions may
be exercised in preventing its
spread.
Cattle are most highly suscepti-
bic, but most other farm animals
are also affected, in varying de-
grees.
Visible symptoms are revealed in
the mouth and feet and also on
the udders of dairy cattle.
The cause Of the disease has not
yet been discovered. The infective
agent is of such a nature that it
will pass through a fine porcelain
filter.
The disease is so highly contag-
ious that when it makes its appear
ance anywhere it is liable to spread
with great rapidity.
The infection may be carried by
various agencies, such as birds,
dogs, cats, rodents and other ami
mails. It also may be carried on
wearing apparel, vehicles, in hay,
straw, packing and similar materi-
Ills.
The virus in meat of animals hav-
