ACQUIT WERNER
Federal Officer Who Shot and

Is Freed

Butte, Saturday, Feb. 21.-Edward
Werner federal narcotic officer, was
eX~onerated Friday for shooting John
Stephan December IA, the latter dy-
ing instantly. The jurors were out IS
hours before reporting an agreement.
according to reports the majority was
for acquittal from the first and re-
fused to compromise on a man
slaughter verdict with minimum pen
atty. Werner shot Stephan after or
ders to halt were disregarded, believ-
ing that he was running away after
shooting Josephine Movie. Mike Had
lum, tried for assault after the girl
recovered, admitted the shooting but
was acquitted as insane at the time.
The court eliminated the charge Of
first degree murder, and instructed
the jury, that while Werner was not
a peace officer under the Montana
definitions, it was his duty as a citi,
zen to aid in apprehending one h,
thought guilty of a crime, and thu
jurors were instructed to determine
whether his belief was justified by tn,
flight of Stepan.

or whether it was to be taken coz
currently. According 70 Judge MilleY,
it is to be served c~onsecutively which
means a Jail sentence Of 100 straight

COUNTY TO
USE MONTANA OIL FOR
ROAD FROM WHITEHALL

Jefferson county is preparing to
utilize Montana road oil for the con-
struction of a highway on the White
hall-Helena road, says the Montana
Oil Journal. A contract for the con-
struction of the road under specifi-
cations prepared by engineers of the
Sunburst Refining company has been
awarded to Louis Lepp, contractor.
One mile of road will be so construc-
ted and if the plan is successful OF
will be followed up by further con-
struction CT the same type.
The greatest problem in Montana
road construction. is not rain but wind
resistance. Gravel roads are very ex-
pensive to maintain because the wind
blows off the binder, leaving the grav-
ell on the surface. Oil construction
is solving this problem. The Gil sur
face rolls hard like a pavement un-
der traffic, sheds water and viii not
blow away.
The city of Townsend is also con-
sidering the use of oil for road and
street s~urfacing.

those acquainted with the life story
cf DR.. William NJ. Jardine, former
cowboy and ranchman who becomes
secretary of agriculture March l..
Cowboy to Cabinet
From the great west, Jar
dine. Born in Idaho 46 years ago,
he spent the first sixteen years of
his life on his fathers ranch. He
punched" cattle, broke broncos, at
% cents each, and attended district
school in the winter. At II he felt
the call to be out and doing, so he
left the home ranch and went to Big
Hole, Mont, where he got a job on
a cattle ranch, performing the usual
tasks of a ranch hand.
He then became interested in dairy.
ing. Realizing the need Of education
he entered Utah Agricultural Col
lege, graduating in 1904. Those years
at school were active for young Jar
dine. He was up and doing and ac-
tive in sports. He played four years
on the varsity football team, captain
ing it the last year. During the sum-
mel he pitched hay and worked on
dairy farms. One summer he was out
with a surveying gang.
Farm to Washington
After graduation he taught for a
year, then sought and obtained the job
as manager of a farming company
which was tilling acres on the whole
sale plan in Utah. Then came his
first contact with government work.
He sought and secured a job as as
sistant in the cereal branch of the de.
partment Ct agriculture. He worked
there three years., from 1907 to 1910.
Then he returned to the rugged west
he knew so well, little realizing or
with little ground for hope that fiji
teen years later he would return tC
Washington to head the department OF
agriculture and sit as a cabinet mem
Der. When he returned to the west
in 1910 he was offered a professor
ship at Kansas Agricultural college
After three years as professor OF
aPrOnomy Re was made Dean of the
division Of agriculture and director
Of the experiment department. II
1913 he succeeded DR.. H. J. Water!
as president of the Kansas college
That is the post he now leaves to be
come secretary of agriculture.
DR.. Jardine is a rugged westerne'
who will bring to Washington first
hand knowledge Of agriculture. H,
has always been an outspoken advo
cate Of the farmers interests. He i
openly opposed and a foe to govern
ment price-fixing on farm commodi
ties. He runs counter to the views o
many men prominent in the agricul
tune department and the influences 0
the farm bloc in congress.

GOVERNORS
WILL MEET AT
SIOUX FALLS
Subjects of Special Interest to
Be Discussed BY Midwest
Executives

Pierre. S d.. Oct. 26.-(N-Gove~-
nors of eight or more middle western
states will gather in Sioux Falls, S.
D., October % and 20 to discuss the
social, economic and industrial prob
lens Of this area.
Called by Governor Carl Gunder-
son to formulate q program with
which "the middle west may speak to
the east" the conference is expected
to bring out new idea on how "the
bread basket Of America" may become
renumerative Of those who provide
its contents.
Governor Gunderson hopes that the
executives will come to Sioux Falls
ready for free and frank discussion
of agriculture, inheritance taxation,
water power development, cooperative
marketing and other subjects and to
volunteer suggestions for working
out these matters.
Experts Invited
Letters arriving here indicate that
the governors have been giving the
conference considerable thought.
Some of them have definite proposals,
others, like Mr.. Gunderson, are eager
to hear the opinion of leaders in
these different fields. A few of the
governors have asked invitations for
experts in particular lines and Gov
ernor Gunderson has urged them to
bring any individuals who might be
able to throw light upon these dis
cussions.
One of the subjects is irrigation
and water power development. Gov
ernor McMullen, of.Nebraska, intends
to present proposal for an irriga.
ton survey embracing all the land
along the Missouri river to its mouth
and to the Gulf of Mexico.
Under Governor McMullen's plan,
unproductive areas would be irriga-
ted with water from the Missouri and
adjacent streams. Several irrigation
experts will accompany the executive.
Iowa Governor to Talk Cooperation
Governor Hsmmill, Of Iowa believes
a great deal Of good would result
from q discussion OF cooperative
farming. He feels that such an eco
| nomic process could logically be fos-
tered by the governors of the middle
west. In Iowa, Governor Hammill has
found that cooperative marketing
proposals have met with ready re-
Spouse.
/ Governors invited to the meeting
are, in addition to Governors Ham
mill and McMullen, Morley, Colorado;
Erickson, Montana; Sorlie, North Da.
: kota; Christianson, Minnesota;
Blaine, Wisconsin,; Baker, Missouri;
Paulen, Kansas; Trap, Oklahoma;
Ferguson, Texas; and Ross, Wyoming
Of these Mrs. Ross is the only execu-
tive to say definitely that attendance
will not be possible.
