Loan Bill Turned Down

Washington, Mar. 18.-Political
ballyhoo artists are cognizant of
the fact that the Teapot Dome is
no longer holding public interest
and consequently have replaced it
with new attraction-the Senate
investigation of Attorney General
Daugherty and his friends. A dis
passionate consideration of the
various Investigations shows that
the instigators and promoters are
not governed entirely by altruistic
motives. 1t is necessary in cam
paign year to provide ssues which
will linger in the public mind until
election day and political oppor-
tunists do not even stop at the
grave.
The Teapot Dome inquiry petered
out surprisingly The net result
of several weeks Investigation" by
the Senate Public Lands committee
was the admission from Edward B.
Mclean, the principal witness, that
he had fbbed, which, by the way,
was nothing new as the public and
committee were aware of the con-
statements made by Nc
Lean early in January. Like the

With this in view Commissioner
Davis plans to develop service, In
connection with the division of pub
locations of his department, which he
seeks to make effective in time to
meet any future movement OF set
tiers.
His first aim is to make contact
with the settler prospect by having
INQUIRIES received by other agencies
turned over to the department, and
to establish contact with all COM
munity agencies interested in this
character of work, so that they like
wise will bring to the attention OF
the department any leads upon which
work may be carried out.
Complete Information
The service which it is planned to
establish in the department has IN
contemplation the writing of let
ters to all prospective settlers, CIV
ing such initial information as may
seem applicable, with follow-up let
ters in due course, and when it can
be learned from the prospect what
line of agriculture or stock raising
he prefers, conditions and locality
more suitable to him, to place him
in possession of every feature of in
formation obtainable through let
,ers obtained from various federal
state and local departments, bureaus,
boards and agencies, including the
state board of health, the United
States weather bureau, the state rail
,oad commission, the agricultural
college, the United States forest ser
yice, the livestock sanitary board,
he agricultural statistician, the 10
al farm bureaus, local bankers or
commercial clubs and individual
armers.
1t is the intention to issue to each
ettler prospect form letter or GER
ifcate which will certify to the fact
hat he is working in touch with the
tate department of agriculture IN
his section, and to impress upon him

neal McFARLAN IS
COUNTY TREASURER

The County Board were in special
session Tuesday and Wednesday and
among their principal acts was the
appointment of Neal McFarlan as
county treasurer to fill the unexpired
term. of Roy M. Kellogg who died
March 18th.
Mr. McFarlan has served as fnan-
cial clerk in the Clerk and Recorders
office for several years and is pecu-
liarly fitted for the responsible po-
sition by his long experience in
county business. Probably no other
man in the county is so familiar
with the funds and financial affairs
of Roosevelt county. He also stands
high as a man of character, trust
worthy qualities and mature judg-
ment.
A delegation of the women of Pop
lar called on the commissioners to
present petition asking for the ap-
pointment of Mrs. Kellogg, widow
of the deceased official. 1t was
thoughtful and sympathetic act and
the board gave it careful considera-
ton, laying the matter over until
Wednesday. Tuesday evening Mrs
Kellogg returned to Poplar and
heard of the movement in her behalf.
Wednesday morning she addressed
a letter to the board stating in sub
stance that she did not feel fitted
for the position, that her duties to
her children demanded her time, and
that while she was grateful to all
her friends she must decline to ac-
cept the Office if it was rendered.
Commissioner Young moved the ap-
pointment of McFarlan, which was
carried by two to one vote, Com
missioner Weinrich voting no.

brought forth much applause.
On Friday two duet saxaphone
numbers were played by Russell
Huxsol and Lyall Martin. Miss Ohm
stad played the piano. These music
al numbers by our own pupils are

mot so much a chance for land
boom, but rather a chance to bring
into operation a plan which will
make the settler prospect successful,
properly located under terms and
conditions he can make good at. The
objective is the financial success of
the man who comes here, rather than
of the man who has land for sale.

WHAT KIND OF WOMEN

Bebe Daniels, Leatrice Joy and Ru-

Paramount studio on Long Island

Our Washington Letter

/ gherty, the Public Lands committee
contemplates an inquiry into the af-
fairs of deceased public men. If the
mania for investigation of the act
ivities of those who have gone be
fore continues, perhaps it would be
decidedly helpful for the probers to
employ experts in phsychica research
as specially commissioned liason
agents. Both committees are max
ing much ado over the personal af-
fairs of the late Jesse Smith, an in
innate friend of Daugherty, and the
late Jake Harmon, once a political
parsonage in Oklahoma.
1t is easily shown that the major
ity of the testimony taken in these
hearings is prevalent and would be
discarded in an actual court case.
Unfortunately, the reading public
does not sift the evidence for facts
and forms erroneous conclusions
from hearsay. These inquiries are
supposedly bipartisan so that no one
party can be held wholly responsible
Washington has become the nations
whispering gallery" and there is
much talk of intrigue but little proof
is offered. 1t is a sorry commentary
upon the intelligence of responsible
legislators that their activities should
have a corroding effect upon public
confidence. Rumor, it has been said,
is dangerous because the word is no
longer evanescent breath but fast
ened and fixed by types and print.

deslrous of holding public interests

deeply engaged upon plans for the carrying out of the
new program.
It was set out by the congress that this department
should make early with prospective settlers to the
end that all other state and local agencies, either public
or private might aid in securing favorable locations for
ing to permanent success and also to encourage and
ordinate state and local publicity based upon actual facts
to supplement the advertising work of the railroads.

ROY M. KELLOGG CO.
TREASURER Is DEAD
END COMES AFTER LONG ILL
NESS-HUNDREDS AT SERV-
ICES AT BAINVILLE

Roy M. Kellogg, treasurer of
Roosevelt county, died at local hos
pital at 12:45 Friday morning at the
age of 48, after an illness lasting
over two months. Dilation of the
great artery was his malady and was
so serious that during the whole per-
iod of his last illness he had to re-
tain sitting posture. Asthma was
his original trouble. During recent
years Mr.. Kellogg had been able to
conduct his farm at Lanark but pre-
viously he had been forced to spend
long periods in hospitals. He had
been sick at his home in Poplar un-
til few days ago when local friends
brought him to the Wolf Point hos
pital. His life had been dispaired of
for several weeks, but he maintained
a courageous hold on the vital spark,
and was conscious until the last mo-
ment, when life was snuffed out in
a twinkling. The faithful wife had
been with him constantly during his
illness and the five children were
brought here few hours before the
end
The body was taken to the home
Friday afternoon. The funeral SER
vices and burial were at Bainville,
Sunday at o'clock.
Masons In Charge
The services were held in the Con-
church with appropriate
by the choir and brief,
sermon by Rev. Clarence
w. Orner, of Poplar. Large delega-
lions of members of the Masonic
order representing Wolf Point, Pop
ar, Culbertson and Bainville, es-
,orted the casket from the train to
he church and from the church to
he cemetery where the beautiful
Masonic service was read by /. L.
Brooks of Culbertson. About sixty
Masons were gathered at the grave
# their departed brother.
Hundreds Pay Tribute
Hundreds of other friends of the
departed from the various towns and

Kellogg home gathered in and about

APPRAISER WILL
EXAMINE PROPERTY
FEDERAL OFFICIAL HERE SOON
ON NATIONAL FARM LOAN
BUSINESS

The completion of the organiza
ton of the Roosevelt National Farm
Loan association has been delayed
for long time awaiting the apprais
ment of the lands of loan applicants
Arlie M. Foor, secretary-treasurer OF
the proposed association, is now in
receipt of a letter from President
D. G. O'Shea of the Federal Land
Bank of Spokane which reads as if
there was prospect of progress.
The letter follows:
Spokane, Mar. IA, 1924.
Arlie M. Foor, Sec-Treas.,
Roosevelt N. F. L. A.,
Wolf Point, Montana.
Dear Sir:
There were received from you on
November 18th last twenty-one ap-
plications from farmers who desire
to organizt the Roosevelt National
Farm Loan association. This is to
advise you that we are this day for
warding to Federal Appraiser Meis-
enbach the said applications for ex-
animation and reports. We expect
Mr.. Meisenbach will be with you in
the near future, or as soon as field
work will be practicable, and we ask
that facilities be furnished him to
examine the lands of each one of
the applicants, and that he be given
the best information regarding each
one.
In considering the organization of |
a new national farm loan associa-
ton we want to get good start or
none at all. We can make loans to
actual farmers who occupy and ope-
rate their farm homes. We cannot
be of service to persons who are too
heavily involved in interest bearing
Indebtedness, to the extent that
they may be unable to meet their in
stallments or have reasonable pros
poets of success. We believe it in
advisable to take on business where
a borrower or an applicant has chat
tel mortgages covering his crop and
everything he has, which would pre-
vent him from meeting his payments.
If you get a good start and a proper
association you will have something /
that can be made of great, infinite
and lasting benefit to the farmers ,
Herewith.
We again emphasize that the de- i
sire is to give service where it can t
be given safely to real farmers
whose condition is such that they E
ian reasonably be expected to sue I
,eed; who desire to retain and oc- q
.upy their farm homes; and who can
how within reason that they can n
meet the installments on their loans +
IS same from time to time mature. t
The terms and advantages of the
method of payment are .
Illustrated in the enclosed circular.
We will ask Mr. Meisenbach to i
communicate with you to ascertain
{ field work can be done, to elimi-
ate wastage of travel.
Very truly yours,
D. G. O'Shea,
President. 81

Coolidge Leading
North Dakota Race

Returns from 1873 out of 2058 pre-
cincts in North Dakota's presidential
endorsement primary show Coolidge
with a big lead over Hiram Johnson
and LaFollette.
The totals were: Coolidge, 27,-
526; Johnson, 1878; LaFollette,
1898. This includes the vote of
the cities and is probably about half
the vote of the state. johnson head
quarters claimed to be confident of
victory when returns were all in,
saying the result depended on the
size of the LaFollette vote.
