100000 from the operators in Ken
lucky for allowing them to operate

fact that you stated during the meet

stated, that you received $3.50, 900
from this bank and that three mem

anything about, was given to you and

ment Of per capita tax to the Inter
national Union for the month of
August, instead of requiring them to,
pay the tax as the International Con.
stitution obligates them to do, and this
at time when the striking mine work
ers of Pennsylvania were badly in
need Of financial assistance, would
seem to lend color to the story. To
exonerate our members from the pay
ment of tax for the month of August
meant no material relief for the in
dividual but in the aggregate had the
tax been collected it would have
meant substantial relief for the
strikers.
Furthermore, considering the fact
that you waited until October be-
fore levying a special assessment,
which could not be collected until the
month of November, and this in face
of the fact that the striking mine
workers in Pennsylvania had been

IT have not been a party to cir
culate these stories because | have no
proof for their truthfulness and /
cannot bring myself to believe them,
even though circumstanial evidence is
against you. and because my

Machinery designated to pro-
duce ''sound and sane'' data on
latent Treasure State agriculture
al resources is now being set up
throughout Montana looking to the
full cooperation of the citizens
in the Pacific northwest national
railroad land settlement campaign
scheduled to open November 4 and
continue throughout 1925, ac-
cording to reports received by IL.
A. Campbell, head of the depart
ment of labor and publicity of the
state department of agriculture
Members of the state land settle
ment advisory board, associated
with representatives of virtually ev-
cry commercial and civic organiza-
ton, are framing the program along
the lines suggested by the traffic
managers of the Burlington, Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
ways who recently toured the state
and explained the plan to spend
three-quarters of a million dollars
in advertising the northwest within
the next IS months.
Information relative to agricultur-
al conditions in all sections of the
state is being prepared for insertion
in eastern and ~mid-western farm
publications beginning November L.
1t is expected that 24,000,O0 people
will be reached through the medium,
preparatory to the expansion of the
campaign in Observation-Disclosures

data will be presented to 60,00O,0O0|
readers of national, daily, weekly

ing greetings from Montanans are
now in the hands of commercial
clubs for use in letters from Montana
business men to outside cities.
Sterilization of Montana financ-
during the last six months and re-
suits of an extensive study of the adj
aptibility of the different crops to
the various sections of the state, will
be stressed throughout the cam

Bitter Root Man Says
He Saw ''WiId MANI IS
I'm the Selway Forest

At least N person in western
Montana believes that he has
found he solution to the report of
the "wiId man." said to have been
seer in the Storm Creek country,
west OF Missoula, and in the East
Selway Forest.
The word received in Missoula
from an old-time Bitter Root resi-
dent who has made camping trips
into the section where the wild
man. is supposed to have been seen.
His information is to the effect that
he encountered an elderly man, de-
mented, well-fed, fully clothed, wan
dering in that section. Pictures of
the man were obtained.
Regarding his encounter, and it's
possible connection with the report
ed wild man" the Bitter Root man
says:
"This man is supposed to be in
the Storm Creek country, which is
directly west of the heads of Mill
creek Cor Kootenai) and Bass creek
lake. Now L have made two camp
ing trips to Bass and Mill creek lakes
and on n of these trips, saw what /
supposed to be a crazy man.
This man seems to be we'll fed
and very strengths strength far
belying his years. He did not seem
to be hungry but was crazy to OBJ
tain firearms. He took my gun and
had to be forced to give it up. Dur
ing the fray, one of the party got
some snapshots.
1.-THE headwaters of Mill creek
are very wild and are seldom visited
by campers and then only on foot,
it is inaccessible to horses. After
reading about the wild man, I believe
that this may be the man mentioned
and that he had strayed over the di-
vide into Mill creek"
