FORMER SECRETARY
 FALL DIMES FRIENDS
 AT CATALINA ISLAND

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5.-Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the Interior, was one of the three thousand guests at dinner party which was driven last night at Avalon Santa Catalina Island, by E. L. Doheny. There were present corps of Doheny's attorneys and two clergymen, most of whom in course of after dinner speeches touched on the subject of Congress and the prosecutions based on oil leases. Frank s. Ogan, one lawyer, described to the diners that the fore sight of a man who, on such an occa- sion as this, two hour trip from Los Angeles to Catalina, brings his legal and spiritual advisers with him night well be a hint to Washington that his enemies may as we'll quit.

BRITISH FLYER ABANDONS FLIGHT

Flanagan, accompanied by Agent Bagley, started on June IS for Port .Ioller. Shortly after their departure their craft was struck by the severe gale which swept Boring Sea, and for many hours the lives of the occu- pants were endangered. The engine was put out of commission by the heavy seas ,and the temporary sails torn away. Huge seas swept over the vessel and carried away anchors, skiff, luggage and provisions, only a Hull in the gale preventing their laundering. They returned to Naknek and awaited the arrival of the Starr ,on which they took passage to Seward
 En route two liquor peddlers were arrested at Chignik and a still and quantity of liquor seized. At Uyak, as the boats loaded, the two Japan ese apprehended at Chignik shouted warning to a comrade standing on the dock, and a footrace ensued be- tween the agents and the bootleggers, two men being taken as they were hurrying a fine we'll made still into the brush. Several hundred gallons of mash were destroyed. These four Japanese were taken to Kodiak and tried before Commission Bettman, pleading guilty and fined, an aggre- gate of $500.
 They were peddling liquor to na- tives and were a menace to the health of the community their stills being deplorably filthy and unsani- tary.
 While the fines on the trip were not excessively high, the Commis- sioners believed it were better to make them of an amount the men were able to pay in order to save the government the expense of trans portation to Valdez ,and board and lodging in the jail there. In case they were taken outside it would cost the government many thousands of dollars to take them by dog team to transportation centers.
 During the long trip of MT. Flana- gan, no good weather was encounter ed until approaching Kodiak, and the dangers of the trip were many and frequent. It shows the magnitude of the territory expected to be covered by federal officers and cost the gov ernment considerable money. This is the first time this district has been visited by federal prohibition officers. In nearly all cases the cannery super intendents cheerfully assisted the of ficers and furnished transportation and information as to conditions in their plants.

LIGHTS OUT TO WESTWARD

Nearly all the blinkers to the west ward of Seward are out, the light ship having failed to call for some time owing to being engaged at Cape Spencer. Out of 26 lights between here and Unalaska, 13 were out on the last trip of the Starr. Many new lights should also be added in the opinion of Capt. o. A. Johansen, vet eran master of the Starr. Lack of guides to transportation makes navi- gation both dangerous and uncertain.

| ter, and Jefferson, is one of the prin.
cipal industrial regions of the state
Mining, stockraising, and genera
farming are also important. Diver
sified agriculture is better estab-
lished in the western two-thirds, OF
eastern slope of the district, than in
the eastern third of the plains re-
gion.
The district ranks first in the pro-
duction of petroleum, in tonnage OF
coal mined and in developed hydro
electric power it is second. Because
of the wheat acreages of Fergus and
Judith Basin counties, it holds second
place on this crop. 1t also ranks Sc
ond on potatoes and alfalfa. In the
western half are many national for
ests and other grazing areas. There
is much irrigated land.
Zinc, silver, lead, gold and sap
phires are mined, as well as coal. The
existence of large deposits of iron ore
and other minerals of industrial i'm
portance are reported. This district
is the chief prorucer of gypsum pre-
ducts.
Three of the larger cities are here.
There has been considerable indus
trial development, which is emerging
from the extractive into the process

the district lies in the slope region
east of the main range of the Rocky
mountains.
While Silver Bow is the leading
producer in the state, as we'll rs one
of the most important in the coun-
try, of copper, zinc, silver and ar
senic, an unusually wide variety OF
minerals are found in Beaverhead
and Madison counties, many of which
are undeveloped. Considerable de-
veloped and undeveloped water pow
er is in this district.
Madison county is reputed to be
one of the finest fishing regions in
the United States. In the district are
many tourist attractions. The west
ern entrance of the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park is here!
The agricultural areas range in ell
ovation from 1000 to 5000 feet. The
upper mountain valleys are devoted
to hay for winter livestock forage.
The growing eason averages from 80
to ITO days.
South Central Section.
The south central division is com
posed of the counties of Yellowstone,
Carbon. Saltwater, Sweet Grass, Park
and Gallatin counties.
In its northeastern portion this dis

Liberty, Teton, Pondera, Toole and
Glacier counties are in 1t.
The only irrigated district of any
size is in the eastern part of the Milk
River valley. There is considerable
irrigated land in the western part,
and the reclamation of more is pro-
jected. Non-irrigated farming pre-
dominates. Moisture has been the
chief factor limiting crop production.
Livestock is a more important source
of wealth than crops. The district
is new in a farming sense, however,
and a type best adapted to it is being
evolved. More settlers and smaller
farm units are a need of most of the
irrigated regions. Areas in the west
ern and southern parts are naturally
adapted to stock growing.
Spring wheat is the pricipal cash
crop, in which the district ranks
third. 1t leads in rye, and ranks well
forward In hay, both tame and wild.
Good results have been obtained with
corn except in the higher attitudes
ear the mountains.
Coal is mined commercially in
Hill and Choteau counties. More
drilling for oil and gas is probably
done in this than any other part OF

and poultry production are becoming
increasingly important. Irrigated
farming is the dominant type and the
tendency is to reduce the size of the
farm units. The Bitter Root, Clark's
Fork Cor Missoula) and Flathead
valleys are the best-known farming
districts. Two large cities are here.
numbering is confined to the west
ern and mining to the eastern and
southeastern districts. Granite coun-
ty produces annually more mangan-
csc than all the rest of the United
States. Tremendous beds of phos-
phate r found, which the U. S. G. s..
reports are of commercial import
nee and of higher grade than depos-
it's in the southern states. They have

farming regions, 1000 to 5000 feet;
growing season under three and not
o than four months.
North Central Section.
Including within its area the east
ern half of the Glacier National Park,
the north central district stretches
far eastward. Most of it is included
within the plains region, but the
western part and some isolated noun
tain ranges belong to the eastern
slopes region. Blaine, Hill, Choteau,

ing stage. Elevations, 3,100 to
5000 feet; growing season from
three to four months.
East Central Section.
Three decades ago devoted exclus-
lively to stock raising, crop produc-
ton has taken the lead in the east
ern tier of counties-Richland, Wi
baux and Dawson-in east central
Montana, but stock raising is the
chief wealth producer in Prairie, NC
Cone and Garfield in the western
tier. While non-irrigated farming is
the dominant method, there being Ut
tie land irrigated outside of n yell
lowstone valley in the southeastern
quarter, the irrigated district OF
Richland county has made good pro-
gress toward the establishment OF a
diversified system CT agriculture that
includes a generous amount OF live
stock. Seed production here is i'm
portant.
The western half is handicapped
by inadequate transportation facil1-
ties, and the development of it's re-
sources has been retarded. Spring
wheat is the principal crop within
hauling distance of the railroad.
More remote districts are turning to
flax, alfalfa seed and less bulky
crops. The district leads all others
in corn, which gives good yields OF
both grain and forage. Swine pro-
duction is increasing.
Ignite coal abounds. Natural gas
has been discovered, and is used in
Barite, iron, potash and
clay deposits are reported to exist.
The growing season ranges from
los to 125 days and the elevation
1878 feet in the eastern dis
trict to $500 in the western.
Southwestern Section.
Through Beaverhead and Madison
counties southwestern Montana takes
first place in stock raising, irrigated
acreage and wild hay production,
and through Silver Bow county, 1t
also leads in mining, and has the
argest city and the most important
distributing point In the state. Ex-
pit for a part Of Silver Bow county,
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-12-11

trict is a plains region. The western
and southern parts have the charac-
teristics of a slope country.
The best known agricultural dis
tricts are the Yellowstone, and Gala
tin valleys. Here farming has been
long established and Investigation is
well understood and accepted.
Both the irrigated and the non
irrigated methods are followed. This
district leads the state in alfalfa and
sugar beets. 1t is second in the pro-
duction of coal. 1t is an important
livestock district.
1t contains in its southeastern por-
ton varied mineral resources includ-
ing one of the largest chrome ore de-
posts in the United States. The Car
diner entrance to the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park is within it's borders.
The growing season ranges from
1875 in the eastern part to ITO days in
the western. The agricultural areas
range in elevation from 5000 to
5000 feet, but in the high mountains
in the southern part are found the
highest elevations / nthe state. Gran
tie Peak, 1880 feet, is the highest
named pinnacle.
Three of the largest cities of the
state are in this district.
West Central Section.
A pleasant land of timbered noun
tains, fertile valleys and clear
streams, west central Montana, ly-
ing on the Pacific slope of the Rocky
mountains, embrace sthe counties of
Powell, Deer Lodge, Granite, Mis-
soula, Ravalli and Mineral counties.
The pricipal industrial activities are
smelling, numbering and mining. It's
agriculture is diverse in character
and well established. 1t is one of the
pricipal fruit growing regions of the
state, ranks first in d~airying and po-
tato production and third in tame
hay acreage. It's smelters at A%nacon-
da are the largest In the world.
In the eastern part of this region,
In Powell and Granite counties, stock
and general farming predom-
mate, while in Ravalli and Missoula
counties dairying, horticulture, swivel
