YOUNG ROBBERS
COME TO GRIEF
Chance Remark Leads to Arrest
Plead Guilty and Are
Sentenced

An incautiOus remark made by a
boy at a juvenile court hearing sew
eral days ago led to the arrest last
week of three young men, Henry and
Loren Suhr and Clyde Ballard, on
charges of burglary in the first de-
gree for rObbing, on the night of
February %, the warehouses of ia
cob Barer and Goldberg and Shulman
of a quantity of furs. The trio also
admitted that on the same night they
had stolen and wrecked an autOmO-
bile belonging to L. L. BrOthertOn.
Two Get Pen Terms
Late last Thursday afternoon the
three were arraigned in district court,
entered pleas of guilty and on Tues
day morning were sentenced by
Judge B. B. Law-Ballard and Henry
Suhr each to serve from six to Is
years at hard labor in the state peni-
tentiary at Deer Lodge, and Loren
Suhr, who is only II years of age, to
be confined in the reform school at
Miles City until he is 21. Ballard is
20, and Henry Suhr "a years old.
The furs stolen by the young men
were valued at between $3.50 and
5000. According to their admissions,
after burglarizing the warehouses
mentioned they consulted as to the
best method of disposing of their
loot, and finally decided to steal q
car and take it to Billings OF Butte.
Three different private garages
were visited before they came upOr
Mr.. Brotherton's. There they fOunC
his big Packard still warm from {
drive, with it's gas tank filled. Back
ing it out, they proceeded to whert
the furs were cached and then drov
to Butte.
Had Little Accident
There they disposed of their plum
der for S72. They spent the day i
Butte, starting back to Bozeman a
o'clock on the afternoon Of Febru
ary "a. They had procured som
moOnshine whisky and were incline
to see how fast the car would go. A
Willow Greek, while travelling at bt

Enthusiastic support of the pro-
gressive program of the Pacific
Northwest Scenic Trails association
formed a week ago at Helena was
pledged by the Montana Association

taries at its annual meeting in Bill
lings late last week, according to L.

one Third OF COUNTRY'S POPULATION
Will "TOURBY AUTO" this SUMMER
FORTY MILLION PEOPLE, TRAVELLING IN TEN MILLION
AUTOMOBILES, WILL SPEND ABOUT 8 1/3
BILLION DOLLARS

The nations greatest migration is
to be made this summer.
According to figures furnished by
Il. II. Grant, general sales manager
of the Chevrolet Motor company, by
officials of the American Automobile
association, before the close of this
year 4O,OOO,OOO people, third of
the cOuntry's pOpulatiOn-will travel
by motor car. Their wheeled flOght
over highways and byways, mountain
and plain, will constitute the most
colossal peace-time movement in the
history of mankind.
These vast caravanseries will use
between 100000 and 10000 auto
mobiles in their wanderings-almost
half the passenger cars in use in the
nation. These figures are based on
the situation which prevailed in 1926.
All indications point to an increase
of about 10 per cent in the number Of
tourists and the number Of auto
mobiles. The summer of 1926 found
36,OOO,OOO people taking to the high
ways in approximately 100000
automobiles.
A vast amount of money will be
spent by the travelling hosts to en-
rich the innumerable cities and towns
and the millions of stay-at-hOme SER
vitOrs that cater to roadside wants
The travellers will spend at least
three and a third billion dollars-a
tremendous factor in the increased
prosperity of thousands of communi-
ties throughout the nation.
OF the total of ten million cars
which will be on the road, three and
a third millions will carry camping
equipment and tour for an average
of SO days each. The other two
thirds will patronize hotels and will
spend an average of 10 days on tour,
For the canvas brioade the daily ex-
penditure is estimated at $40 per
car or $33, 3,333, 900, daily for them all
which in 80 days will total nearly
$1,1OO,OOO,OOO. The hotel tourists

IS new name OF
GALLATIN'S FAIR

The 'Inter-M Fair was the
name decided upon, at a meeting of
the Gallatin County Fair board Tues
day, for this cOunty's annual expo
sitiOn, the excellence Of which has in
past years attracted much attention
in the West.
The fair this year, the board has
announced, will be held on August
80 and 81 and September 1 and 2,
the earlier dates being selected be-
cause it was thought that more IA
vorable weather might be expert
enced and that better exhibits, a
larger variety of displays and a
greatly increased attendance would
result.
A feature of 1925 exhibition will
be the flower department, also arts
and crafts, needlewOrk and school dis
plays. A mimeOgraphed copy of the

flowers. Similar copies will be dis
tributed for the arts and crafts,
needlework and school departments.
The regular premium list is in pro-
cess of preparation, and will be print
ed early in the summer. Anyone
may obtain copies of the mimeo-
graphed lists by communicating with
the Inter Mountain Fair office in the
court house.
At the meeting Tuesday plans for
the fOur-day fair this year were dis
cussed. The entertainment program,
it is said, will be more comprehen-
sive and of higher quality than in
any previous year, and will compare
favOrably with that of any exposition

SEC'Y STEWART
IS found GUILTY
Vote so to 5-COnvictiOn on Only
One COunt-Will Be Re-
moved From Office

By a vote of so to 5, Charles T.
Stewart, since 1917 MOntana's secre-
tary of state, was found guilty We'd
nesday by the senate, sitting as a
court of impeachment, on one of the
10 charges brought against him by
the house of the Twentieth legisla-
ture. ....
The count upon which Stewart was
convicted alleges that he accepted
commissions on state insurance pol
icies written at the order Of the
board of examiners, of which he
was a member.
The penalty is removal from Of
flee. Judgment was to have been
pronounced Thursday afternoon. Up
on one other count the vote was 81
to 18, raising the question whether
conviction requires a twO-thirds vote
of members present or twO-thirds of
those elected. Upon all other charges
Mr.. Stewart was acquitted.
Politics Played
Mr.. Stewart was suspended from
office on March 3, when articles of
impeachment, presented by the house
board Of managers, were accepted by
the senate. Robert N. Hawkins, a
Democrat was named by Governor
J. E. Erickson as secretary of state
pending trial Of Mr.. Stewart, and to
hold over as a recess appointee in
case of his conviction and removal
from office. The appointment of Mr.
Hawkins changed the political status
of the state board of examiners, the
governor also being a Democrat while
Attorney General L. A. Foot, tht
third member, is a Republican.

MONT. FARMERS
Plan INCREASED
CROP ACREAGES

Montana farmers on March l, 1927,
contemplated increased acreages this
season of corn, oats, barley, flax and
potatoes, and slightly decreased
acreages of all spring wheat and
tame hay crops, according to the ex-
pressed planting intentions of 1000
farmers, representing every county
of the state, who reported to the
state and federal departments of ag-
riculture.
A summary of the intentions of
about $4,000 farmers generally
throughout the Uniter States shows
that farmers plan substantially to
increase the acreage Of barley, pOta-
toes, sweet Flotatooa ard ESaasslsa ,lias1
make slight increases In the acreage
of corn, spring wheat, oats and hay.
On the other hand farmers generally
plan substantially to decrease the
acreage of beans and flax and make
moderate decreases in rice, grain
sorghums and tobacco acreages.
In this connection the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture has con-
strued the national intentions of
farmers to increase the acreage of
principal crops as being undesirable
and suggests that some shifts in
acreage contemplated may be bene-
| ficial.
AS to Spring Wheat
= Nationally farmers have been ad.
vised that with no probable increase
: in harvested acreage of winter wheat
l this year, any increase in spring
, wheat acreage is undesirable. Oats
4 and barley as cash crops do not ap
= pear to warrant any increase in acre
age over last year and if the nationa
acreage is not warranted by the out
{ per cent, good yields would be ap
