NEW YORK, July 31.-John W.
Davis, Democratic presidential, cam
didate, announced today after his
return from Maine that he was in
entire accord with his running mate,
Governor Bryan, of Nebraska. re-

Mr.. Davis declared that the view I

of engaging in what would be only

any practical educational effect" is
entirely sound

casion to inform myself fully con-
corning the views expressed by the

NEW YORK, July 31.-The east

Of both Democratic and Republican
parties. The return Of John w. Da-
Wis from lis vacation enabled him
and his campaign manager, Glenn
Shaver, of West Virginia, to have
their first heart to heart talk since

central west, was ONCE more east
of the Allegheneys with conferences
in Boston, New York and Washing

Mr.. Davis and Mr.. Shaver had a

TIGHT CHALLENGE
HURLED IN HOUSE
DURING DEBATE

The afternoon session of the house
of representatives Thursday was en-
livened by a challenge Of Represent
ative Ennis, of Baldwin county, to
Representative Culpepper, of Fay
cite county, TO go outside the house
if he desired to state that an asser-
ton Of the gentleman from Baldwin
was untrue. The challenge was not
accepted.
The house at the time had under
consideration a bill to appropriate
$29,905 for the erection of an ice
plant at the state sanitarium at Mil
ledgeVille. Mr.. Ennis declared that
the inmates at the salitarium are
compelled to eat food that is not
properly preserved because Of the
lack of refrigerating facilities.
Representative Culpepper Repre-
sentative Barrett, Of Stevens; Rep
resentatiVe Boswell, of Green, and
Representative COVingtOn, of Col
quit, spoke against the bill, claim
ing that the state did not have the
money to build a plant at the pres
ent time Mr. Barrett made the as
sertion that the bill should not be
considered because it had not been
submitted to the appropriations COM
mittee during the present session.
Invites Him Out
'"This bilI-.was unanimously APP
proved by the appropriations COM
mittee at the last session and the
chairman of the committee told me
that it would~ffot be necessary to
have it passed on again this year"
Mr.. Ennis said.
Representative Culpepper, who is
chairman of the appropriation com
mittee, leaped to his feet and de-
manded recognition, but Mr.. Ennis
declined to yield the floor.
II am making statement that
is the absolute truth, and if the
chairman Of the committee wants
to say that it is untrue l will go out
of the house with him and give him
that opportunity" Mr.. Ennis said.
On a roll can there were SO votes
for the bill and SO against it. 1t
was lost by reason of the fact that
an appropriation bill requires 104
votes.

II am surprised at the state

is no necessity at this time to en-
courage civilians to leave their oc.

ing in what would only be military

COnfers With Shaver

Reaching his personal headquar-
tiers after an|all-night journey from
Rocklahd, Me-, Mr.. Davis went into
Glenn c. Shaver. Questions of organ
ization were discussed chiefly, but
several developments in the world
of politics since Mr.. Davis left for
Maine were taken up.
Greeted by several friends as he
stepped from his private car Mr..
Davis told them in response to in
quiries that he felt zone hundred
per cent fit"
Before starting for home Mr.. Da-
Wis completed all Of his acceptance
addresses with the exception Of one
paragraph, the nature Of which he
has not disclosd. With this excep-
ton, the text now is in the hands of
the printer and the candidate will
devote part of his time during the
remainder of this week to revising
the proofs and in completing the
final section which he desires to talk
over with Mr.. Shaver and other cam
paign leaders.
From Rockland to Dover, N. H.,
seething crowds gathered to meet
Mr.. Davis train last night. He
spoke briefly at both Rockland and
Bath and shook hands with a num-
Der of persons at several other sta

some cases they have been forced to
convert portions of it. This fact
has forced many veteran cattle rails
ers out of business.
When asked how he considers the
wheat crop and the possible produc-
ton for next year, Mr. Campbell re-
piled:
''I can give no better reply than to
tell of our plans. Our farm, which is
run entirely by machinery and en-
ploys $50 men, plows 1000 acres a
day, threshes $4,000 bushels of wheat
in day, is planning to expand pro-
duction. Our farm consists of 5000
acres, $4,000 of which are plowed.
This year we raised $4,000 acres of
wheat, plowed 10000 acres for
spring wheat, and expect to pillow
10000 acres for flax in the spring
we feel that Montana is over it's
drouth period and that the farmer
who markets his grain early next
year will gain a considerable advan-
tage from the holdoyer of this years
high prices. We have learned that
one of our secrets of success is in the
employment of skilled labor at high
wages and by the development of a
system whereby our men share our
good fortune. I think the time is
now here when all industries must
make some arrangement by which all
it's faithful and loyal employees will
participate in the success of the or
ganiZation."

Campbell operated the largest farm
in the world in the Pendleton dis
trict in Oregon where the thous-

Interviewed while in the East, by

regarding the future of his home

where they lost their way A snow
storm came up and compelled them
to go into camp, waking up the next
morning under a covering of Is
inches of snow. After several hours
of wandering they came back to an
opening through which they could
see the valley whence they had come.
So, back to Norton's they went and
remained there a week until the
storm had cleared up, when they
resumed their journey, this time
picking up Charley Dorr at Cotton
wood and subsequently camping on
the ground that was afterwards
known as Blackfoot City.
The gulch they named Ophir and
here Hunt dug a hole and found
gravel that PANIED out five cents
to the pan. Dorr and Pence went
across to Tiger gulch where they
found gold, but in such small guam
titles that it was not deemed worth
while to work it. They then went
into the main gulch at Ophir and
found good pay dirt at 1 3 feet. They
then went down the gulch a couple
of miles and located what they called
the discovery claim of the gulch.
This was the first scratch the

creased. With all those points in it
favor, he said that Montana felt SURE
of prosperous year.
Good Prices Prevail.
Most of the wheat crop, he safC

bank loans have been paid off witt
the proceeds, loans that have beer
"frozen credits" on the bank records
for four years.
With the surplus the farmers have
started savings accounts, are improv
ing their farms and educating Their
as good citizens.
In the course of his eastern inter
view, Mr.. Campbell said:
Montana wheat growers have
long had to contend with low prices
high freight rates, drouth and a
scarcity of skilled labor. The pres
ent world shortage corrected wheat
! prices. Rains this season may lower
the total estimated yield of 54,827,-
600 bushels for the state. The wheat
farmer for the first time recognized
the value of skilled labor. He paid
high wages and thereby attracted
skilled workers, who in turn, not only
increased the wheat yield per acre
but also lowered the per acre pro-
duction cost. The farmer has en-
erged from the recent depression a
better farmer, just as the banker is
better banker.
Wheat The Highest Grade
Agricultural colleges are crowd
ed with farmers sons and daught-
ers, who, realizing that the days of
haphazard farming are gone, are
studying and applying scientific me-
thods to the eartn's Largest indus
try-tne production of food. In some
exceptional instances these students
this year raised 40 bushels of prem
ium spring wheat to the acre on non
irrigated land.
Last year Montana, with a spring
wheat production of "a, 100000 bush
els, ranked fourth, and this year with
its 10000, 000-bushel crop it is likely
to mold its rank, despite North Da-
kta's big crop. Our state raises the
only premium spring wheat that can
compete with the Canadian, and be-
cause of the duty on the latter, our
farmers can command a high price
for their product.
Sheepmen Prosperous
"Sheepmen have had a prosperous
year. They sold their clip of wool
at from AZ to As cents a pound, and
some are contracting for the next
years clip at prices as high as so
cents. The excellent demand as we'll
as the profitable prices for wool
should give some indication of the
future of the textile industry.

/ each locating a quarter section OF
| land
In January, 1865, Hunt, accom-
panied by A. w. Pence, started out
to locate some new "diggings." They
first went to where the city of Butte
is now located and there found one
cabin occupied by Press Scott. They
remained there only one night, the
place not looking very promising,
and then continued down the gulch
to Silver Bow, where they met some
Virginia City boys, who were taking
gold out of the gulch.
The pair did not remain there but
proceeded on down the valley and
stopped over night with Bill Norton,
whose cabin was near the famous
Warm Springs, which afterwards be-
came the site of the state insane
asylum. Then they passed through
Cottonwood, now the city of Deer
Lodge, where they met Granville
and Jim Stuart and some others
they had known in Virginia City.
They stayed all night in that camp
and witnessed the Vigilantes run
ming a ''greaser' out of camp.
The following morning they start

between Cottonwood and Dog creek,

Silver Bow was also taken in. They
made a code of mining laws and as
signed a certain amount of ground
to each charter member of the COM
Ipany.
The party worked until late in
the fall and from one pit 13 feet
square they took 5000 in gold. In
the fall Hunt sold his interest in the
discovery claim to John Vipond for
$1,000 but retained claim up where
Blackfoot City afterwards stood.
This Hunt sold for song and it af-
forwards developed to be rich piece
of ground.
About this time, there occurred
the famous stampede to Washington
gulch and Hunt joined the rush.
Ground was staked off for miles
around and Hunt took up claim on
top of hill which he traded to
tenderfoot for a yoke of bulls and
$500 in cash.
Webb, in turn, sold out his in
terest at Ophir for $1,000 and went
to New York gulch where he lost all
his money. The two had cleaned up
about $4,000 between them and had
let loose of property which subse-
quently yielded many thousands of
dollars in gold They, however, were
out to discover new gulches and while
they did find one or two, other men
made the money out of them.

ginia City for his second trip into
