ITALIANS LEAD IN
 IMMIGRATION FIGHT
Claim Is Made Johnson Bill Hits
 Italy Hardest
BY GEORGE II. MANNING.


 Washington, D. C., Feb. 15.--Con- gressman F. Hart Fenn, of the first Connecticut district, has, like all the other Connecticut members of con- gross. been swamped for several weeks with an ever-increasing number of petitions protesting against the pas sage of the Johnson immigration bill just reported to the house of repre- sentatives
 Every organization of foreign born residents of New Britain. and the oth- CT cities of his district, Mir. Fenn be- lieves, must have presented him with some sort of petition of memorial or resolution protesting against the terms of the Johnson bill. Individual citi- zens have added their personal ap- peals, while of course he has, like every member of congress, received a vast number of petitions from state and national organizations scattered throughout the country.
 Second only to the interest in the Mellon plan and the soldier bonus is that aroused by the proposed immi- grafton bill. In its widespread organi- zation and thoroughness tho propo- ganda which has been circulated against the Johnson proposal is all most equal to that in favor of the tax reduction bill.

If the three large railroads

of December, they may find him

Elwell was sent to friends in
Oceanside, Calf, last spring, in the
hope that the boys health might be
benefited. He has improved con
siderably, but instead of being wean-
ed away by the salubrious California
climate and congenial surroundings
his hankering for home continued to
grow. Everything has been done to
make him contented there and he
has been urged to stay until his
health is more improved, but recently
he could stand it no longer and wrote
asking that his father send him his

PEANUTS ENTER LIST OF
STAPLE FOODS; USE OF
PEANUT BUTTER GROWS

A generation ago peanuts were
looked upon as a luxury, to be eater
on circus day or fed to the elephant
and the monkeys, but had no place
in the daily diet of the nation. Today,
statistics show that the use of pea
nuts in the form of peanut butter has
reached a point where it may be con-
sidered as staple
A large portion of the peanut but
ter consumed in Montana is manu-
featured in Seattle from nuts inn
ported for this purpose, those being
selected which have just the right
proportion of oil The nuts are
thoroughly roasted, shelled and the
brown inner skin and the germ re-
moved to prevent any bitter taste
and to keep the product from becom-
ing rancid, and then the nuts are
ground.
The peanut butter as it leaves the
machine is put into con-
tanners and packed ready for ship
ment. The Rogers company which is
the largest manufacturer of this pro-
duct in the Pacific northwest, packs
all of it's output in bright colored tin
which are sealed so that
there is no chance for contamination
or deterioration. Their "School Boy"

throughout Montana, as large ship
ments of it come into the state every

close to 100000, while large &C
Ireage of this iron is held by ranch
men at Sheep Creek, who will prob
ably benefit in the deal.
The Sheep creek deposits are ex-
tensive, said to cover more than
$500 acres, and this alone is consid-
cred ample for a fifty-year run for a
small steel plant. The property is
near coal and power, but the exact
location of the furnaces is problem
atical.
The eastern parties are negotiat-
ing through a Great Falls bank, and
have taken options on 10000 acres
of coal lands in the Cation Catron
field and on the sand deposits near
Great Falls. They have also taken
options on large iron deposit at
Stanford. Great secrecy has sur
rounded the deal, and it appears now
that all the properties sought have
have been contracted for.

citizens, dating back nearly fifty
years, the first passenger train
pulled into town ON September "a,

gathered to cheer tn achievement.
Among the crowds that welcomed
the 13-coach Union Pacific train

never before seen one. The road
is an extension from Crane, Ore,
and will be used mainly for the
transportation of lumber.
