Montana RETURNS To Crops Better Than I'm
Handle Fair Events Middlewe8term States

1--WE think a great deal of Montana,
especially so after travelling through
eastern States" said j. l.. Fox of
Billings, who returned recently from
points in Indiana, after a 5,000-mile
automobile tour. Comparing crop
conditions of Montana with those of
the states through which he toured,
Mr.. Fox stated that Montana had ev-
erything to be optimistic about.
Mr.. Fox and his family left Bill
ings early in June, and after a short
visit in st. Paul, continued to Wiscon-
sin, from thence to Indiana. They
visited many of the larger cities of
the middlewest.
Il made a special effort" stated
Mr.. Fox, ito observe the crop condi-
ton as l passed through the differ
ent sections of the country, and I am
frank to state that the corn fields of
several of he states were far behind
the corn I have seen in Montana"
On the return trip, passing through
the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Illinois, and Indiana. Mr.. Fox said
that the corn was all the way from 6
to Is inches high in these states
while he found the corn in eastern
Montana at least a third higher. Much
of the corn in these states will not
mature, in his opinion. This has
been due to the backward spring.
wheat fields in Montana appear
to be equally as good as those of the
other States" he said, where crops
are raised on much higher priced
land. Oats and barley are good crops
this year in these eastern states"

Second Trip in Year.
Mr.. CARROTS present trip through

year. Following his first exam1na-

him longest during the tour state
that at no time has he given any in
timation of the ideas he has formed.
Those who came in close contact with
him say that he is a close observer,
a trained questioner, is fortified with
available statistics and that he has
made a sincere effort to gain accur-
ate information on the northwest's
problems through personal observa-
ton and contact. Different promi-
nent Montana business men who met
Mr.. Garrett, gained the impression
that he is inclined to be sensitive to
the personal way in which he has
figured in matters growing out of his
writings on the northwest.

information and more inclination to
heed rumors that had gained circula-
ton followed in other publications
with arrangements of the northwest.
Northwestern business houses began
to receive coldly worded queries
from eastern and midwestern CORE
spondents. Presently it seemed that
all the rest of the nation had turned
questioning eyes on the northwest
as if to ask whether it was a territory
that had measured up. In various
ways the influence of the article
was felt in the states dealt with
and few phases of the reaction were
good. The welfare of a great pro-
portion of the population of five
states had become vitality affected.
Various methods were employed
to bring about a correction in the
situation, one of the most effective

he wrote his famous article, "That
Pain in The Northwest" for the
Saturday Evening Post, and immed-
lately became the center of a demon
stration wherein attitudes varied
from mild appreciation to a highly
charged silence or open hostility.
His critics claimed that he had drawn
his conclusions from conditions that
had passed without adequate con-
sideration of the present or the faith
of the northwest in it's own future.
Others objected not so much to
matters as reviewed in detail in the
article as they did to the impression
created outside the northwest by the
article as a whole.

Montan Riders Win Titles

Paddy Ryan of Miles City was
proclaimed world champion bronchc

Pendleton, Oregon, was hailed as the
champion cowgirl rider of the world
at Cheyenne, and the grand finale OF
the 1924 Frontier Days celebration
was their coronation.
Ryan by his victory gains 120
points towards the Roosevelt trophy,
now held by Yakima Canut, who won
it last year at Pendleton, Ore.

the northwest was rebuilt in public
opinion to where adverse reports
concerning it came to be regarded
as at least controversial in nature.
Largely through the activities of the
Great Northern railway, arrange
ments were made for Mr.. Garrett to
again visit the northwest, view diff
ferent sections during the harvest
season and write another analysis
based on his later observations.

Ten years ago at Deer Lodge
the boys who played the ponies
wagered their last times on the
parimutuels and the death of high
class running races in Montana
vas noted when the 1915 Iegisla-
ture abolished the Turing machines.
Just a decade later, Deer Lodge,
through it's Kiwanis club is listening
to the lure of the modern age and is
staging a great celebration on Labor
Day, the feature of which will be
a worlds championship auto race
with the great dirt track stars of
the country with their speedy ben
zine buggies hitting into the curves
that years before the fleet hoofs
of the ponies trod.
The Kiwanians picked out a Civ

Great Falls and who lives on the
Pullmans going from coast to coast
to handle auto races, to handle their
event. There will be able games
in the morning, dances at night and

of that district some of the reasons
why there was no necessity for being

it, conditions are now shaping them

Crop Conditions Favorable.
However, there can be no harm in
a review of the conditions which are
causing an upturn in the fortunes OF
the state and which bid fair to put
us well back on the road to pros
perity. First, and foremost, of
course, is the crop condition. 1t is
true that in the immediate vicinity of
Helena, crop conditions are not what
they might be, but the state as a
whole, according to all reports from
men who know crops when they see
them, is in the best shape of any state

BERLIN, August 4.-The German

surprised at the tone of the in
vitation and it's peremptory request
that the delegation reach London
Monday. but 1T was suggested that
perhaps the English were unaware
that Berlin was "a hours removed
from London.
The German program is naturally
to obtain the best possible terms.
More specifically, the Germans will
maintain that it is impossible to
modify any portions of the Dawes re-
port against other concessions from
France. This especially applies to
transfers, which, as foreseen under
the Dawes plan. remain the exclusive
competence of the agent.

gest that the system of arbitration
tribunals desired by the French be
extended further to include such
matters as deciding whether German
economic unity is really restored
Other technical points involve pay
ments in kind and the superseding of
the Micum agreements.
But most important are three or
four political points. The principal
one of these undoubtedly is the mill
tary evacuation of the Ruhr. Here
Germany expects to stand firm and
obtain a definite promise of evacua-
tion within limited time if she
maintains her new obligations
The question of French control of
certain Rhineland railways and the
continued presence of French railway
men must also be negotiated. The third
point is the evacuation of the Rhine
land zones, as the Germans consider
the French viewpoint that the time
of the Rhineland occupation has not
begun to run. is simply outrageous.

An infantry regiment, to be
composed of two battalions, one of
police and the other of firemen.~is
being organized by Director of
Public Safety Butler. The pri-
mary purpose of the regiment, the
director said today, was to instill
public interest in the police ath-

but he added that it would also
serve as emergency units in case
of serious outbreaks. Each bat
talon will be made up of four
companies. 100 men to a company.
LAS soon as we receive rifles and

men viii start intensive training.
The manual-of-arms of the Marine
Corps will be used.
The director. said that nearly 50
per cent of the police and firemen
were former service men.
