TENSION PREVAILS
IN GRAIN MARKET
Buying Stampede and Disas-
trous Break Greatly Feared
by Wheat Traders.
BY the Associated Press.

by tne assOcldteu Fress.
CHICAGO. January 31.--Extreme
nervousness of traders on both sides
of the market was the feature in
the wheat pit today. With fear evil
dent in some quarters that new
buying stampede was at hand, and
with apprehension expressed from
others that q disastrous break was
imminent, the market changed with
amazing quickness from weakness to
strength and vice versa.
See Cutting of Market.
Entering the final hour, the mar
ket, although averaging somewhat
lower, had shown no decisive change
but kept bobbing down and up in
cessantly within outside limits of
about cents. Speculative sellers
were largely basing their action on
reports of world shipments this week
aggregating more than 1S,000,000
bushels, mostly from the Southern
Hemisphere. and heavily increasing
the amount of wheat on ocean pas
sage. One authority was quoted as
predicting that If such huge ship
ments were continued for six weeks
the European ports would become
glutted.
Strong houses, nevertheless, took
the wheat poured into the pit here
as a result of such talk, and not
withstanding profit-taking sales, the
market persistently failed TO break
to any such extent as sellers had
looked for.
Closing Prices Unsettled.
Dearth of export buying led to some
further declines later, May touching
81. OIL 12, but statements for a leading
exporter reiterating views as to the
acute need of supplies abroad helped
rally the market afresh. Prices
closed unsettled at y to 2s cents net
decline. with May at S2.o24a to $2.0294

RECEIVES fine FOR
POISONING OF HOGS

The filing of cross complaints by
Dan Schledewitz VS.. George Bott
and George Bott VS.. Dan Schledewitz
resulted in each gentleman being
fined in Justice Fred F. Moons court
at Culbertson Saturday. The cases
grew out of the complaint of Schlede-
witz that his hogs were being poison
ed. Deputy County Attorney Arlie
Foor and Undersheriff Charles Coun-
ell made trip to investigate the af-
fair, w eh occurred in the Damn
cenAnTnity near Culbertson.
The result of their investigation
was the filing Of the two complaints,
Schledewitz alleging that Bott was
poisoning his hogs and Bott alleging
that Schledewitz's hogs were null
sance and running at large.
Both men plead guilty and were
fined.

BURESH AND HICKS
MEET FRIDAY NIGHT

Stanley Buresh, the Nebraska boy
who has engaged in several wrest-
ling matches here the past year, and
Randall Hicks, said to hold the light
heavy weight championship of Can
ada, will meet for finish match Fri
day night at the Liberty theatre. The
bout will start at 9 o'clock, immedi-
ately after the first show.
Muresh is considered one Of the
best wrestlers at or near his weight
in the country. He has lots of en-
durance and fund of science that
make him especially good on the de-
fense In fact he has never been
defeated in an even term match by
an opponent anywhere near his
weight.
Hicks is a new man here but comes
with high reputation as strong
man" and wrestler of wide expert
ence who has met many noted men
on the mat and won fair share of
victories. He and Stanley appear to
be we'll matched for size and fast,
interesting bout should result when
they come to grips.
The fall in temperature and the
"slush" ice in the river will prevent
the running of the ferry after the
match, as had been planned and an
nounced.

Stones VIII Visit
Florida and South

John Stone, who with Mrs. Stone,
left here and went to Washington
last summer writes from Tekoa that
he has sold the grocery he bought
there and will visit the South. lie
says they have no particular place IN
view. 'but will no doubt be back IN
Washington, Oregon or Montana
next Spring." He says he was OF
fered such good price for his
store that he could not afford not
to sell. The following is a clipping
from the Tekoa Blade
''The firm of Watson & Poore re-
port the sale on Wednesday of this
week of the stock, fixtures and busi-
ness of the Tekoa Cash Grocery, to
Jacob B. Clark, Of Latah.
~. D. Stone, retiring proprietor,
purchased the business three months
ago from the Spokane Merchants As
sociation. He plans to leave with
Mrs. Stone for Florida in short
time.
"Mr. Stone and Mr.. Clark will
start invoicing the stock next Sun
day, and the new owner will take

Letter Tells of Turbine
Destined for Local Co.

Vincent Cleaveland, son Of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles M. Cleaveland of
this city, who is now studying engi-
neering in the east, writes his pa
rents Of working in plant which is
now assembling a turbine which will
be used in this vicinity by the East
ern Montana Utilities Company. He
says in part:
'For several weeks I have been
watching a turbine casing bearing
Minnesota in yellow letters across
the side. I saw the rough casting
bored out, trimmed and finally
placed on the assembly floor. Then
I went to the office to look up its
requisition sheet and found it was
ordered on August 4th by the Min
nesota Northern Power Company
and was to be shipped to the East
tern Montana Utilities Company. 1t
is five stage and six valve. Every
day | look to see if it is assembled.
| guess the buckets aren't done yet.
When it goes onto the test block !
am going to make a special request
to be placed on the job. 1t may be
shipped this week but more likely it
will be several weeks. If they want
to they can rush them out in hur
ry. Sometimes they run the test
through until early in the morning
and paint them on the cars as they
are hauled out of the building. A
six hundred K. W. looks like kid
die car beside many of the other
machines. l saw five thousand go
ing out the other day, painted white.
The more I see of these turbines
that just spin like tops the less ]
think of the leaky, barking gas en-
gines."

INDIAN FARMERS ARE
PLANNING EXHIBITS

Alvin Warrior and Jas. r. Hols-
claw, "Boss" farmers on the Fort
Peck Reservation who were largely
responsible for making the Indian
Fair at Poplar such a success this
year, are going to see that the In
dians of Roosevelt county and the
Fort Peck Reservation are well rep
resented at the Corn Show at Glas-
gov next week as they are assisting
the Indian farmers who are raising
the better quality Of crops in making
selections for the big show.
While the competition is of the
keenest kind at the Northern Mon
tana Show due to large amount Of
entries in each class the Indian far
mers have been holding their own
in securing the premium ribbons
which indicates they are making
marked strides in the quality of pro-
ducts they are raising. In all of the
corn, potato and seed classes the In
dian farmer will be represented this
year. In addition to the large num-
Der of entries that will be on dis
play they will also have some i'm
plements on display that will give
the lovers of history, evolution and
primitive methods a real treat.

LARGE CROWDS
WILL SEE CORN
RECORDS OF PREVIOUS YEARS
POINT TO GOOD EXHIBITS
AND ATTENDANCE

With weather conditions any
where near favorable a large num-
ber Of people from Roosevelt county
are planning on attending the North
ern Montana Corn, Seed and Poul-
try Shows that will be held at Glas-
gov the 4th, 9TH and 9th of Novem-
Der according to information that
has been coming into the county
agent from all points in the county
this past few days. Not only is the
interest manifested by farmers from
all over the county but number of
business men plan to attend from the
several towns in the county, the
larger delegations being from Wolf
Point and Poplar.
The 1924 Northern Montana Corn
and Seed Show held at Wolf Point
last year proved to be such a surprise
to those who visited it in the way of
an inspiration from quality produc-
ton of crops on exhibition, the edu-
cational exhibits, and the attractive
program that crowds grew larger
each day regardless of the unfavor-
able weather and many of those who
did not have the opportunity to see
Northern Montana's largest exhibi-
ton of quality crops are planning on
spending some time in Glasgow this
year. The Northern Montana Corn
and Seed Show is also becoming
very popular place for the pioneer
pure seed growers and the register
ed seed growers that have entered the
field in later years, some of whom
attended and taken part in this ex-
hibition since its birth at Malta in
1922. All of these growers who are
paving the way for the production
of finer crops in Roosevelt county
are strong in the praise for the value
it has to those who take the time to
inspect all it's attractive and valu-
able features. The reduced rate and
excellent train service offered by the
Great Northern Railway from Roose-
welt county points will also make it
possible for more people to attend
The pure-bred livestock sale,
sheep sale, association meeting of
Livestock Snlpplng ASSocIdtloH, IuI-
key Marketing Association, Alfalfa
Growers Association meeting, ETC.,
will crowd the visitors program. Re
duced rates on railroads is expected
to bring several hundred guests to
the Corn Show city, to enjoy the ed
ucational and entertainment fea-
lures of the States greatest Corn
and Pure Seed Show in Glasgow,
November 4th, 9Th and 9Th.

CONGRESSMAN GETS
P. 0. ESTABLISHED

Washington, Oct. Piedmont, a
new town in the heart of the Kevin-
Sunburst oil field, is to have a post
office, Congressman Scott Leavitt
has been assured by the post office
department.
Oilmont, II miles north of Shelby
and seven miles east of Kevin is
within three miles of more than $50
oil wells.
The need of the office was pointed
out last summer by business men and
oil operators of Oilmont to Mr.. Lea
witt while he was in Montana. He
recently presented the situation to
the post office department, and the
office is now being established with
Prosper R. Gorham as postmaster.

WESTERN STATES
GIVEN ATTENTION
DELAYED REPORT OF INTERIOR
SECRETARY DESIGNED TO
MEET ATTACKS

Washington, Oct. 27.-It is a cur
ious trait of human nature to en-
joy the embarrassment of others.
Official Washington with all its ira
ditions for dignity it not without a
sense of humor. Watching the po-
litical by-play behind the scenes fire.
quently brings out amusing situa-
tions in our national life. The la
test incident was disclosed this week
during the tax hearings.
Guilty of Opinions
There is tradition in newspaper
offices that story without a name
is not worth the telling. 1t is cur
rently reported that Congressman
Green of Iowa and Congressman
Garner of Texas, chairman and mi
nority leader, respectively, of the
House Committee on Ways and
Means, were placed in embarrassing
positions by their constituents. Par
tisanship is not directly involved be-
cause Green is Republican and
Garner a Democrat. Both have been
taking their committee jobs serious
ly. They have attempted, it is said,
to write their individual opinions in
to the revenue laws, even against the
advice of the leaders of their politi-
cal paroles.
Those who have watched these
two men are unkind enough to say
that Green and Garner wanted to
emulate Senator Borah and other in
surgent characters in Congress.
Whether this contention has any
foundation in fact is immaterial.
They have never approached the
Borah standard.
Oppose Tax Plans
The team of Green and Garner
representing different political views
were united in opposition to tax
plans of the administration, in par
ticular anything formulated by Sec
retary Mellon. What tickled the
fancy of Washington this week was
the spectacle Of these two men be-
ing whipped into line by imposing
delegations from their home districts
demanding the adoption of the Mel
lon proposals on inheritance taxes,
etc. The two insurgents were forced
to introduce these representative
taxpayers from their own states and
listen to their endorsement of the
Mellon proposal, a procedure which
meant that Green and Garner must
take the back track or invite politi-
cal determination. This incident is
typical Of the growing tendency of
the day-for local communities to
express their will on legislative mat
ters and have their representatives
in Congress carry it out, rather than
adhere to personal convictions.
