SCR|VENERG CASE
[EADSFUT|LE

Every effort Of the police to
track down the slayer OF Detective
Arthur r. Scrivener has proven
futile.
Undiscouraged. however, Major
Edwin 3. Hesse, when asked today
if he thought the case would ever
be solved. replied. 1T must be
solved"
Major Hesse voices the deter
mination Of Inspector Henry q.
Pratt. chief of detectives, the slain
mans partner. Detective Edward j.
Kelly. and Detectives Thompson.
Keck, O'Brien, Nalley, Waldron and
sweeney, all assigned to the case
Baffled in every turn that they
made since the discovery of the
body a week ago yesterday morning
this corps of experts Is still work
ing day and night on the case.
The one theory that the detec-
tives still work on is that Scrivener
met his death at the hands of the
relative of some woman or girl OF
his acquaintance and that he knew
the murderer. They have cues
toned his fiancee. Miss Helen
Barnes Parker, and his ex-{iancee,
Miss Catherine Marley, as well as
numerous other women with whom
Scrivener was acquainted.
AS to whether or not they
cleaned the least bit Of a tangible
clue from any of these conversa-
lions is doubtful for every man
investigating the case has denied
that any progress has been made.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
By TAYLOR

At the annual dinner of the Ma
t:onal Institute of Social Science
in New York tonight a gold medal
is to be presented to Stephen Tying
Mather, in recognition of his dis
tinguished social service as direc-
tor of national parks, a position
he has filed for nearly ten years.
Previously he had been for two
years assistant to the Secretary of
the Interior. Mr.. Mather is a ma
tive of San Francisco, though a
descendant of the famous Mather
family of early New England. At
ter graduating from the University
of California he went into jour
naiism. Six years later he took up
a business career as manager of
large properties inherited from his
father. Owing to his intelligent
and ardent interest in the national
parks of California, he was en-
listed by the Federal Government
in the interests of the entire ma
tional park system, and for some
years he has given himself and
his wealth unreservedly to this
work.

Farming operations In the Cut Bank
section are being conducted on a larg-
er scale than for several years. About
10 tractors were purchased by farmers
IN the community this spring. Trac-
tors were much In use In the earlier
days but went out OF use during the
years of partial crop failures. They
have come back; better and more
economical for all farm purposes,
which seems to mean a revival Of
farming on larger scale than FOR q
decade.
The inspiration given a community
BY one mans success Is illustrated by
the revival Of farming on what Is
known as the Marias Slope, southeast
of Cut Bank. That section was invaded
by the grasshopper pest for three years
in succession and farming was almost
abandoned. Last year Roscoe Fulton
put In a large acreage under careful
methods and raised record-breaking
crop, for 1925 in that section, % bush
