Reports Indicate grasshopper situ-
alton in some parts of Montana has
reached acute stage. We have decided
to make half rates on materials to and
from mixing points covering both

will be unnecessary to issue tariffs
but must be understood that all ship
ments are to be consigned to any from
County authorities under which condi-
tions law permits us to make reduced
rates without publication of tariffs.
Please advise Bozeman authorities
accordingly. Also instruct all inter-

charges may be settled on basis of
fifty per cent of regularly published
rates relief claims to be made for

LEAVITT TALKS
ON RECLAMATION

Washington, June 10.-During the
course of debate on the reclamation
features of the rider attached to the
deficiency appropriation bill on the
closing day of congress, Congressman
Scott Leavitt called attention to fact
which has escaped the notice of every
one for a good many years. On the
glass panels of the ceiling of the house
of representatives there are painted
the seals of the different states, but
for some reason that Of Montana was
never placed there. In the course of
the debate Mr.. Leavitt said:
Il notice that on the ceiling of this
chamber of the house of representa-
tives the seal of my state of Montana
is not represented with the rest, al
though we have been state for 3E
years. Nobody seems ever to have
called attention to it before. | have
taken steps so that this fall, when we
meet again, it shall appear there
among the seals of the other states.
Mr.. Leavitt used this as an illustra-
ton of his purpose in arguing for fair
methods in handling reclamation prob
lens, in order that Montana and 9TH
er western states might have their
proper place of development among
all the states of the union. The meas
ure passed the house but, on account
of filibuster lead by Senator Pittman
of Nevada because a new project of
his own had been eliminated in con-
ference it did not come to a vote in the
senate before adjournment.

his arm pits. He found his canned
goods that we're packed away in bed

and cabin later in the spring. The
F. |. Johnson camp is surrounded by
great seanic beauty and he makes
specially of the side trips which pro-
vide ideal fishing in lake and stream,

ENDS BOUT
KelIey-Ross Battle Tuesday Night
Ended in Fourth Round Because of
Scarcity of Regulation Mitts.

With return match in sight at an
early date Red Lodge fight fans were
we'll satisfied with the showing made
Tuesday night by their local favorite
Spider Kelley in his match with Ernie
Ross of Casper, which was scheduled
for ten rounds, but ended in the fourth
when one Of Ross mitts was damaged
in an interchange of blows with the
local battler.
The fight which was preceeled by
two fast preliminaries between local
boys was an even affair until the third
round when the Wyoming mnn tore
into Kelley and received credit for
brace of knock-downs. Kelley came
back strong in the fourth and had
crowded his opponent to the ropes
when the glove was torn.
An enthusiastic crowd strong for
the local man attended the fight and
will look forward with interest to the
return bout planned for the near fu-
ture.
