FORESTS WILL NOT BE
RAISED TILL 1926

according 10 an announcement
mac yesterday by Secretary of Ag-
aaeulture Wallace, there will be no
raise IN the grazing fees on the Ma
tlonal forests before 1926. While the
range appraised conducted by the
f'oeest Service indicates that higher
fees are justified on most of the Ma
saonaI Forests, the Secretary has de-
cded that the stock industry is not in
eonduon at the present time to
stand tie raise. Starting with 1925
'r = planned to apply only one fourth

Then young Pray went to Chicago,
where he was q reported on a news
paper, making many notable friend
ships, among them Eugene Field. the
poet, and Tracy Drake, hotel owner.
In Chicago he attended law school
while he continued MS newspaper
work and was graduated from the
Chicago College Of Law in 1891. He
practiced law in Chicago from 1898 to
1895.
To State in 1896
In 1896 Mr. Pray came to Fort Ben
ton, entering a law firm with Colonel
Donnelly. Then in 1898 he was cleo
ted county attorney of Chouteau
county, holding the position four terms
and making an unusual record. June
20, 1901, Miss Edith Wackerlin, of
Fort Benton became his bride.
Montana elected Charles n. Pray to
congress in 1906 and reelected him in
1908 and 1910. In 1912 he was the
party nominee for reelection, but that
was the Bull Moose year when the
Republicans lost all along the line.
Returning to private life, Mr.. Parry
and L. L. Galloway, now chief justice
of the Montana supreme court, formed
law partnership in Great Falls,
which continued until Chief Justice
Galloway was elected to the supreme
bench. In 1915 Mr.. Pray was the
nominee for United States senator.

WEST GALLATIN ROAD
GETSFORESTRY FUND.
TOTAL OF THIRD OF MILLION
APPORTIONED FOR USE ON
MONTANA PROJECTS

That the last seven and one-half
miles of the main highway on the
West Gallatin road between Bozc-
man and the Yellowstone park, be
ing the last link between Taylor's
Fork and the park line, is to be COM
pleted this year, is now a certainty
due to the action of the joint confer
ence Of the state highway commits
sion, the federal bureau lof public
roads and the United States forestry
department held last Wednesday and
Thursday in Helena.
The sum of 100000 was apportion
ed to Gallatin county from the for
estry funds for the year 1924, and
this amount, added to the $25 900
which remained as an unused balance
in the fund from last year when
S11z 900 vas apportioned and only
S9C,i Q actuall- used, is thought by
the C..lty n7rnissioners to be suf-
fic.ent 10 cffc~+ the completion of
the standard 1~ie~al highway right
up to the park line. Inside the park
proper the road is in fine shape, as
also is the road running south out
of the park to the West Yellowstone
entrance. An exceptionally large in
crease in the number of auto tourists
using the West Gallatin way to the
park this year is expected to result
from the publicity that will be given
by the B0zeman chamber of COM
merce and the press to the completion
Of the lower section of the new road
leading up to the park entrance
where a regular park entrance re
gistration office is maintained by
the Interior department.
Those present last week at the
Helena conference from Gallatia
county were George w. Darlinton,
chairman of the Board of county
commissioners; James E. Moore,
vice chairman, and John Aakjer. Sec
retary ia Harader was also present
and represented Bozeman, Secretary
D. P. Bates, of the Livingston Cham
Der of commerce, represented Park
county.
The total sum of $325,000 of the
federal forest funds were allotted TO
Montana projects as follows:
Belton-Java, Flathead county 10
cost 100000.
Yellowstone canyon, Park county,
to cost $4,000.
Monarch -Riceville, Cascade county
to cost $4,000.

cost 100000.
Tarkio Flats, section of the Vel

President Calvin Coolidge, after sew
eral months of careful consideration.
disposed of two of the four additional
judgeship appointments by sending
to the senate Monday, for confirma-
tlon, the nominations Of Charles n.
Pray, of Great Falls, to be Judge for
the district of Montana, and Charles
3. Davis, to be federal judge for the
eastern district of Missouri. 1t is
understood that present federal Judge.
George NJ. Bourquin, will remain in
charge of the western district in Mon
tana, with his headquarters and home
in Butte, while Federal Judge Pray
will have jurisdiction in eastern Mon
tana, with headquarters and home in
Great Falls.
The nomination of Judge Pray
comes after a most interesting but
friendly contest in which Hon. Fred
L. Gibson, of Livingston. former
speaker Of the state house of repre-
sentatives, and prominent Republican
lawyer, was first thought to have been
slated for the coveted position. Mr..
Gibson is considered one Of the most
astute and learned lawyers in the
state. He was formerly in the news
paper business, having owned and
edited the Virginia City Madisonian a
number of years ago. Judge Pray is
also former newspaper man, having
been employed years ago as a re-
porter in Chicago. Either man would
have had the unqualified endorsement
of the rank and file of the Republi-
can party in this state.
Was Difficult Question
After President Coolidge had nomi-
mated Charles n. Pray, of Great Falls,
to become federal judge of the new
district in Montana, the announcement
was made that a last minute endorse
ment of Congressman Scott Leavitt,
in favor of his fellow townsman, had
been given and it was indicated that
this had considerable to do with the
final decision of the president, who
has had the Montana appointment
under consideration for a number of
weeks. 1t is declared the Montana
judgeship has been one of the most
difficult questions that has confront
ed President Coolidge since he as
sumed office.
Story Of His Life
Charles n. Pray, who for three sue
vessive terms was Montana's lone con-
gressman, has had an interesting ca
reer. He was born at Pottsdam, n.
Y, in 1869, the son of John R. Pray
and Julia A. Sweet Pray. His an
.cestors on both sides were soldiers in
the revolution. His parents died
when he was very young.
AS boy he played on the shores of
Lake Champlain, and as he grew up
he became an expert bOatman. In 1888
he was graduated from MiddIebury
college in Vermont. His athletic abil-
ity made him pitcher of the college
baseball team.
