When you are commissioning
the .milkman and the R. F. D. mail
carrier in these days of snow
blocked roads, think also of the
country doctor, whose calls, some
! times at night, take him on long
trips over next to impossible roads
| Some of these calls are of an
emergency nature, and the doctor
simply must get there if it is
humanity possible. A notable case
of this kind has come to the at
tention of The American. When
| the roads were at their
worst last week, DR.. c. H. Gibbs
answered call for a confinement
case, seven miles beyond Franklin
on the Eastbrook road, Dr.. De.
Beck of Franklin being i'll. DR.
Gibbs, scorning the advice Of
friends that the trip was impossi
BILE, started. Men had been fight
ing their way through these
drifted roads by daylight, but DR.
Gibbs left Ellsworth for that
drive after dark. And he got
through. 1t was a difficult case
and, as it proved, doubtless the
life of both mother and child de-
pended upon the doctor getting
there, but DR.. Gibbs did not know
that when he started DR.. Gibbs
is not a young man, either.

FROM COAST; TELLS
OF CONDITIONS THERE

Mr.. J. D. Franklin returned to
Plentywood Tuesday after a seven
months trip to BremertOn, Washing
ton. and several other coast cities. He
reports that conditions on the Pacific
slope are about the same as they
were a year ago. A lot of people
from the mountain and other nearby
states are always moving towards
the coast for sightseeing purposes
and quite few Montana people are
settling on strips Of fruit land close
to the ocean. -,
Mr.. Franklin states that he visited
Seattle and that that city is hive
of energy. The shipping has IN
creased there since he was there a
wear ago. Much wheat is now ship
ned through this port Mr.. Franklin
saws. This together with. the IN
/ creasing trade with the Orient makes
Seattle now one of the great ports
of the world. sc
Asked if he had noticed any diff
ference in the administration OF city
affairs since that city elected
woman mayor Mr.. Franklin stateC
he did not see much difference. IL
IIicit LIQUOR is just as plentiful al
under the last administration but th'

"SAVORS OF SALOON SYSTEM" SAID RANKIN

Butte, May 18.-An alleged "lic-
ense SYSTEM" which brings Butte
police court fines and forfeitures ag-
gregating approximately S90,00000
yearly, was attacked in federal court
this morning by District Attorney
Wellington Rankin who announced
that liquor law violatOrs arrested by
federal officers could not hope to es-
cape further punishment in the fu-
ture by merely fOrfeiting police
court bonds.
District Attorney Rankin estab-
/ lished a precedent in the case of
( John Neales arrested two miles from
( Butte in a combined moOnshine raid
/ by federal and police officers. Neales
forfeited $500 bonds in police court
and the case was dropped by police,
/ but Rankin filed federal charges.
Neales pleaded guilty and was fined
500 by Judge BOUrnquin.
''This case savors of the old time
saloon license system" Mr.. Rankin
told the court. GA man is arrested 80
miles from the city outside the jUris-
diction of the police court. Yet the
matter is dropped by the city when he
lfOrfeits his bonds. I intend to pro
Isecute vigorously all police court
cases in which federal officers have
a part"
Mr.. Rankin said after court haC
convened that, in the past, fedora
J officers had been improperly used a!
clubs to force liquor law violators t.
forfeit police court bonds"
Mr.. Rankin's plan will affect boot
logging forfeitures but little as fed
eral officers rarely combine with tn
police in saloon raids. However, i
the five years that Federal Prohibi
ton Officer Ben Hotter has been here
he has co-operated with the police i
capturing nearly 600 stills. Only
comparatively small percentage G
this number were used as evidence

cases run from $40O to $1,000. Whe1

VALLEY COUNTY
RECEIVES SIS, 100 UP
ON AUTO LICENSES

Glasgow.-A check for $5,160, rep
resenting Valley county's portion of
the state automobile license fund for
the month of April was received by
County Treasurer J. L. TruscOtt. This
brings the total received for 1926 IL
censes to S12,9O745. Subsequent
monthly checks will be much smaller
as practically all old cars are now
provided with license tags and fut-
ure licenses will be issued only on
new ones.
A total of $17O,753 was distributed
among the counties of the state as
collections during April for automo-
bile licenses.
About the middle of April, County
Treasurer Truscott received a check
for s7,14745, which represented the
countv's share of the fund for Janu-
arv. February and March, total OF
S587 800 being distributed among the

This money viii be credited to the

sum, it will not build an unllmlteC

Leasehounds are already on the

also secured leases ~on thousands of

Great Falls Tribune Suppresses News
A significant feature in connection
with the discovery was the suppress
sion of all news concerning the Hen
erickson well by the Great Falls Tri-
/ bune until all the Eastern Montana
newspapers arrived IN Great Falls,
carrying long stories. Although all
/ the daily papers IN the state carried
the Associated Press dispatch tell

suppressed the story. After the
