Farmers of Montana, North Da-

word received by the Montana rail-

The reduction Of six cents on ship
ments of grain from the northwest,
as proposed by the Minneapolis and

"The 500 line offered the same re-
duced rate on northwest grain ship

E. G. Toomey, attorney for the Mon

action of the Interstate commerce
commission applies to that line as

PARASITE PREYS
ON FEVER TICKS
EntOmOlOgists Hope Thus to
Combat Deadly Spotted
Fever Menace

The wood tick, chief agent in the
spread Of spotted fever in western
Montana and the cause Of many years
Ct study by the worlds greatest SCI
entists, now must fight for its life
against the ixodiphagus c~aucurtei.
The new insect that carries the long
name is in fact only one twenty-fifth
Of an inch in length and belongs to
the family Of bees, ants, wasps ana
Ichneumon flies. It is parasitic on
the wood tick.
Prof. R. A. Cooley, head of the
State College Entomology depart
ment and state entomOlogist in Mon
tana, brought a number Of these tick
parasites from the east and, through
the Hamilton laboratory, will attempt
to introduce the parasite in nature in
western Montana. The tick parasite
attacks the ticks in their nymphal
stage, which is fortunate as they
make better progress in this manner.
Prof. Cooley points out that no ad-
vance claims can be made for the
tick parasite, since much experiment
ing must be done to introduce it into
nature. It is not known how well 1t
can withstand our e climate.
In France ticks are practically elm
mated in regions where this parasite
is found.

Tragedy Barely Averted

Narrow escape from death at a
railroad crossing just west Of Park

Mr.. and Mrs. j. H. Dawes, according
to their report upon arriving here
that afternoon. Failure Of an engi-
neer to whistle for the crossing was
Mr.. Dawes declares, the cause.
EIr. and Mrs. Dawes, driving a new
car, left Billings ahead Of the stub.
Aware Of this fact, they were partic-
ularly careful at crossings. AIT Park
City they were still ahead Of the
train. Just west Of that place, they
came to a crossing approached by a
stiff grade. This they climbed, lis
tening for train signals, but heard
none.
Just as they were about to cross
the track, Mrs. Dawes shouted to heI
husband to stop. He applied the
emergency brake, bringing the car 4
a halt within four or five feet Oh
the tracks. At the same instant Z

"My new al runs very quietly
