Engine No. 23474
Purchased by Peter Johnson from the local dealer in 1918
and used as a family car until 1919 when it was made a truck.
This was the first car to go over the mountain roads south
east of Rawlins. The car is still in good working order and is
being used daily. The car has seen the hardest kind of usage
due to the nature of the mountain roads in Wyoming.

STARTING BACK FIRES
Fergus COUNTY, Argusl


The indictment of B. K. Wheeler by a Wash
ington grand jury on a charge of conspiracy has
resulted in considerable editorial comment Mr..
Wheeler himself and his partisan newspaper
friends in Montana want us to believe that the
indictment was the result of politics and partisan
ship. They say a grave injustice is being done
Mr.. Wheeler in that the Indictment was asked
before a Washington jury. W.T. do not believe
either of these contentious have any reasonable
basis. The case against Wheeler ct al was started
by the then Attorney General Stone. Aside from
being a man of unimpeachable integrity who
could not be accused of acting from partisan
motives, Mr.. Stone had no relation to Mr.. Wheeler
out of which could have arisen an enmity and
propeling prejudice. We believe Mr.. Stone dis
covered certain vital facts that justified the call
ing of a grand jury and placed before that jury
what facts he had discovered. AS to the Grimm
atty connected with these facts, that is a matter
for the jury to decide.
Should the indictment have been found in Wash
ington rather than in Montana, the home of Mr..
Wheeler? We do not know. Mr.. Stone explained
to a senate committee, and his explanation appears
quite logical. He said if a crime was committed
in this matter it was committed in Washington,
and not in Montana. That. being true, the proper
place to make an Investigation and to find an in
dictment is the place where the alleged crime was
committed. That sounds to US very logical and
reasonable. We cannot understand why in the
face of these facts there should be whining by Mr.
Wheeler and his partisan friends about some great
/ injustice being done.
The case of Mr.. Wheeler is a case for the courts
He should not be tried by the newspapers. Let
t him stand upon his merits in this matter. There
is nothing so far to indicate he has not received
the same consideration that any other individua
receives who stands in conflict with the law. N,
, sooner had the Indictment been found when Mr.
r Wheeler appeared in an interview claiming per
~secution by political enemies as the cause for hi
s trouble. Partisan papers have caught the ech1
$ and are trying to make q real noise out if it. Tha
e Just az attempt TO start q backfire and win no
prevail. ~ for CHS paper, we want to see A.
f Wheeler get 9 fair trial. We have every reasol
4 to believe that he win get that fair trial. Partisa|
f politics can have no consideration where The end
Ct justice must be served.

DAVIS GOES TO ILLINOIS

Chester G. Davis, retiring commissioner Of
agriculture, will leave Helena on April 1 for Chi
cago where he has accepted a position as special
representative in grain marketing with the Illinois
Agricultural association, says the Montana
Farmer. He will have charge of the reorganiza-
ton of the farmers merchandising system in
Illinois and expects to remain with the association
only long enough to set up the organization and
get the new system to functioning, because he
plans to become associated with George N. Peek,
formerly president of the Moline Plow company
and now president of the American Council of
Agriculture, in a national distribution project
upon which they are both working.
Mr.. Davis came to Montana in 1911 as city
editor of the Miles City Star. Later he went to
Bozeman as editor of the BOzeman Courier and in
1917 he went to Great Falls as manager and editor
of The Montana Farmer which position he held
until 1921 when he was drafted by Governor
Dixon to head the newly organized Montana de-
partment of agriculture. AS commissioner of
agriculture, Chester Davis maintained his record
for able and successful service. He took the new
department of agriculture with its many respon-
sibilities and built it into a valuable and efficient
organization, establishing a precedent as to service
and policy that will be an inspiration and a help
full guide to succeeding commissioners. The null
titude of regulatory duties d~evolving upon the de-
partment were handled efficiently and with eco
nOmy to the state.
The Montana department of agriculture under
Mr.. Davis rendered invaluable service to farmers
and farm organizations during what will probably
go down in history as the most critical period
Montana agriculture ever experienced, The lead
ing farm organizations of the state have, prac-
tically without exception, warmly endorsed Mr.
Davis administration and farm leaders through
out the country were attracted by Mr.. Davis con-
s~tructive contributions to the cause of equality
for agriculture" When the McNary-Haugen bill
and other farm legislation were being considered
by congress a year ago he went to Washington
to urge helpful legislation for agriculture anC
through his testimony before congressional com
mittees and other conferences he became recOg
nized as an authority on agricultural problems
Secretary Henry c.. Wallace at that time offeret
him a position as head of the division of grail
standards which was being established.
Chester Davis will carry with him the hes
wishes of countless farm folk here in Montan
His spirit is the spirit of the west. We shall mis-
him and we know that we voice the feelings G
his many friends in Montana when we say, nc
goodbye" but Good luck until we meet again.

Editorial Comment
PAINTING UP
(Billings Gazettel

billings GaZette)
At least once a year, if not oftener, all agencies
interested in the progress of their home COM
munity ought to agitate for the use of paint to
brighten up all buildings that have a decadent
look, and are in danger of deterioration as a result
of exposure to the weather.
1t is interesting to see how much more pride
people take in their home places as the result of
a good coat of paint. 1t has a useful psychological
effect. People living in a house that looks run
down are apt to feel run down, and they are likely
to get the idea that they are falling behind and
are not keeping up with the game.
You induce those folks. to paint up their place
and make it look well cared for, and the effect is
to give them a greater degree of confidence. They
feel as much better for it as a man does in wearin@
a new suit of clothes.
Buildings that look run down for need of paint
attract unfavorable attention. If the owners could
hear the remarks made about people who fail to
do their share to keep up the appearance of the
town they would be more disposed to cooperate.
A few buildings of that kind here and there are a
drag on the appearance of a town. Visitors look
at them and remark that the place must be asleep
to allow its home and business structure to pre-
sent such an unprepossessing appearance.
But after the buildings are painted, then the
respect of the visitors for such neighborhoods
increase. amazingly. They say that the town is
on the map, and is putting its best foot forwart
and is likely to be a good place for residence OF
to do business in.
Incidentally property deteriorates when no
properly painted. The money saved by not paint
ing is apt to be all lost through the depreciation
of property.

we NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BuLLETIN

Political panaceaists to the contrary, notwith-
standing, the 'intention-to-plant' bulletin issued
by the apartment of agriculture and published in
fullsin last weeks Courier, is full of extremely
valuable information for the farmer.
Wheat prices are directly influenced by the
world supply and although the United States ex-
ports only about Is percent of her total produc-
ton, this Is percent, going into the world market,
regulates the domestic price, with such modifica-
tions as are made by the tariff and the premium
on northwestern hard wheat.
The intention-to-plant bulletin referred to indi-
Gates a probable increase Of, seven percent in the
United States wheat crop for next year, or an
increase of 80 percent in the exportable surplus
This increase in the world supply viii very
probably be reflected in lower wheat prices next
fall.
1t is the purpose of the department of agricul
ture in issuing the bulletin to place the informa,
ton it contains in the hands of the producers
enabling them to cut their pattern to fit then
cloth, as the homely saying goes.
In other words, if the agricultural industry uses
the information it win cease following high prices
with over-production as has been the case in TIL
past.
And when this is done, the old-time DOGGY o.
bumper crops sold at less than cost Of production
viii be banished and the farmer viii find himself
for the first time upon a solid economic footing
