ADMIT MEXICAN
LAW HELPS U. S.

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 15.-The new
amendments to the Mexican oil laws,
sponsored by President Gales, con-
firm American "oil rights" acquired
before May l, 1917, Luis ~ Morones,
secretary of the Mexican Department
Of Industry, Commerce and Labor has
assured H. N. Branch, representative
of the American Huasteca Petroleum
Company.
Under the provisions of the oil
laws as they originally stood Ameri-
can oil producers were required to
surrender their land titles and to ex-
change them for titles limited to
fifty years. The amendments will
permit permanent holdings by Ameri-
can oil investors, Morones said.

even now to begin preparations for
the nist-Internationa Con-

Of the agenda so that these theses

"The international Communist left
Opposition will raise a large cam

Opposition excluded from the Party
and regarding those deported from

Pravda Statement.
Following the publication Of these
documents the Pravda published an
article headed Stamping the Work of
the Trotskyists." The article says:
"These letters expose before all
Rolshcvilss the conduct Of the Trot-
skyists after the Fifteenth Congress.
"The very first evident conclusion
IS that Illegal work is being con-
Quoted along all lines contrary to all
oaths ard assurances given by the
Opposition. Not a single day since
The congress have the Trotskyists
ceased their dirty anti-Party anti
Comintern work. The letter shows

0pposition's Confusion.
Both documents are clear evidence
o. the profound confusion in the ranks
Of the former Opposition. The Trot-
skyists brand Kamenev and zinoviev
rs traitors because they submitted to
tho Bolsnevik Congress. Naturally
zach characteristics once more con-
firm that the Bolsheviks are right in
considering that the Trotskyists are
themselves traitors to the working
class. There is actually no proletarian
basis under Trotskyists, either in the
Z. $. s. X. or outside.
"On the other hand their only re-
liable support is proved to be and
are ultra-right anti-proletarian ele-
rnents in the camp of the renegades
OF the Communist international.
Within the U. S. s. r. the Opposition
las endeavored to cover itself by left
phraseology. In the international
arena the right social opportunistic
essence Of the Trotskyists appears
ia its full nakedness. The internal
tional left wing practically turns out
to be the international right wing.

"The Trotskyists hope to draw in

that the energetic onslaught of the

words that il the bourgeoisie increases
pressure, then the Opposition will
score some success. Such way of
putting the question emanated from
the theory in the 'Clemenceau thesis
The Trotskyist leaders fear most of
all to remain forever a hopeless sect.
This makes them careful about GER

Where he spent that night, the next day
and the following night he did not recall
definitely. When he heard the voices Of
the three fishermen on the banks OF he
Little Big Horn, he realized hat he was
in the vicinity Of the other troops and
made himself known. No other person
escaped alive from that encounter in
which Custer and his immediate COM
mand of five troops OF the Seventh Cav
airy went to their deaths at the hands
of the allied Sioux and Cheyenne war
riors.
Coming up with his column, Gibbons
was advised of the story old by Curley.
BY forced marches over the rough terrain
that borders on each side of the Little
Big Horn, Gibbons moved onto the field
and undertook at once the task OF re-
moving the wounded men from the Reno
engagement with the Indians, who at
tackled Reno's forces Immediately follow
ing their successful encounter with Gus
ter. BY the use of ,improvised filters,
the hfty-four casualties were carried as
tenderly as possible to the Far West.
There they were laid on tarpaulins spread
over thick layers Of grass. At the same
time together with the survivors of the
Reno engagement, the work OF burying
the dead on the scene of Clusters en-
gagement was undertaken.
The Far West made the trip to Bis
marck, Dakota territory, thence down the
river a few miles to Fort Abraham Lin
coin, a distance calculated to be about
one thousand miles In the record time OF
.ffty-four hours. Three of the wounded
died On the way. One was buried at the
mouth of the Big Horn, another at the
mouth of the Powder river, while the
third succumbing to his wounds after the
boat had left Fort Buford at the mouth
OF the Yellowstone where 1t empties into
the Missouri river, was carried on to Fort
Lincoln and there inferred.

Held In Great Falls VIII be Announced

The annual convention Of the Mon
tana Press association, to have been
held in Great Falls September 8, 8 and
10, has been postponed until Septem-
Der Is, 16 and IL, 1t was announced by
Stanley Thurston Of Stanford, secre-
tary OF the association, following a
meeting with the local entertainment
committee in Great Falls. Postpone
ment was made to avoid a conflict with
the appearance OF Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh at the state fair In Helena Sep
TENDER 8.
THE editorial convention this year will
be one of the most important in the his
tory of the association and 1t Is desired
to nave q large attendance at all of the
business sessions" Mr.. Thurston said.
Many Of the editors undoubtedly will
want to be in Helena to see ~Lindbergh,
which means they would not reach Great
Falls until the second day of the o n
vention Inc would thereby lose out on
some of the important matters that will
be considered at the opening session.
This has prompted the postponement.
"Details of the business program will
be announced by President E. @. Leip-
heimer following q meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee. In a general way.
there is to be a thorough discussion OF
the problems Of the small town publisher
and it will be to the advantage OF all of
them to be present at every session.
"The Great Falls committee is prepar-
ing an elaborate program of entertain
ment, but all of this is being arranged
for evening sessions in a way that won't
interfere with the conventions business"

Martin Barrett, Montana pioneer,
member of the territorial legislature,
retired stockman and millionaire phil
anthropist, died at his Dillon home re-
Gently from infirmitIes due to his adj
vanced age. He was 81 years old.
Mrs. Barrett died Feb. 10, 1926. An
adopted son, Robert w, and two neph-
ews, Thomas and Jack Barrett. are sur
viving relatives and will probably be the
principal heirs to the estate which is
estimated at about a million dollars.
The Barrett memorial, one of the finest
equipped hospitals in the state, stands

On that day every able bodied man in
Glendive will go to the field n do a

When we started it was our intention
to fly to Broadus and other towns in the

the north, but Vance's experience with
rough landing fields caused him to
change his mind. He decided to cut
short his trip and hop of on a nonstop
fight for Great Falls. So at 5 O'Clock in

the northwest. The day was an exquisite
one. In an hour we were flying over the
Grassy Range, passing Winnett and the
oil fields of Cat Creek to the north Of
us, and 80 minutes later were sailing
