FIG Tree John Dies;

Claimed to Be l3O
by the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
BANNING, Calf, April 10
Capt Juanito Razon Aqua Delce
Tuba, Cahuilla Indian, better
known to California pioneers as
Fig Tree John, is dead at the Alamo
Reservation, near Oasis, Calf. He
had claimed he was 130 years old.
He was the man who guided a
detachment of United States troops
under Col. Stephen w. Kearny on
the latter's march in 1876, from
Santa Fe to California to play a
part in the war with Mexico.
Fig Tree John was buried at the
Reservation. Only one white man
was permitted at the service. Doubt
that he was l30 years old had been
expressed by residents of the re.
gion, but they conceded that he
was at least 10.

ANOTHER PROTEST URGED.
ENJOYS of Powers Want Chen Brought
to Terms.

PARIS. April IS CP).-The represent
atives of the five powers in China have
recommended to their governments
that they be authorized to draft new
identic note on the Marking incident
in reply to the communications from
Eugene Chen, Cantonese foreign min
lister. which they regard as unsatis'
factory.
The note is expected to be ready
within five or six days. 1t is under
stood it will make it absolutely clear
that Great Britain. the United States
France, Japan and Italy are united
in demanding that the lives and prop
erty rights of their nationals in China
be protected, and that reparation be
made for the damage suffered.
France Not Satisfied.
Although Chen's reply to France
was couched in different terms thar
those addressed to the other powers
the French foreign office is under
stood to consider it unsatisfactory
evasive and rather in the nature q
an attempt to divide the powers.
Anxiety over the Chinese situation
however, is lessening day by day in
official circles, It is believed that the
Moderates are gaining ground steadily
and that the first burst of anti-foreign
feeling is giving way to soberer
thought.

NUMBER OF RUMORS
FOLLOW STATEMENT
Chinese Policy Held by Observers
to Be Cause of Reputed
Administration Rift.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The White House has laid one po.
litical ghost with denial that there
Is any split in the cabinet. but the
vigor of the official spokesman in an
nouncing the demise may raise an.
other.
The laid ghost is the rumor that
Secretary Kellogg was going TO retire
from office and that the cabinet was
},it over the administrations policy
h.na.
making his announcement, the
sman added that even were MI.
lA~,iogg TO retire, Secretary Hoover,
whose name had been linked with the
State Department post in Capital gos.
sip. would not be appointed To the
place.
Food for Conjecture.
Although it was added at the White
House that Mr.. Hoover was a warm
supporter of the administrations Chi.
nese policies. those who dote on con.
lecture and speculation seized imme.
diately on this bit of information as
something offering great possibilities
for fights of political fancy.
Mr.. Hoover's name has persistently
been thrust forward by amateur and
unofficial cabinet makers for the posi-
ton of Secretary of State, should Mr..
Kellogg retire. Several times In the
past few weeks President Coolidge
has found it necessary to deny that
Mr.. Kellogg had any such intention.
Nevertheless. rumor and speculation
have continued especially since the
Chinese situation developed serious
aspects, and one of the bases for push.
ing Mr.. Hoover's name forward rests
on the fact that he has had long ex.
perience among the Chinese. having
resided in that country when he was 9
consulting engineer.
Gossip Still Persists.
Those close TO Mr.. Hoover denied
repeatedly that he had any differences
with his cabinet colleagues over the
Chinese policies, but these denials have
not sutfced to stay the gossip, and the
President APPARENTLY has been nettled
that 1t keeps going. The latest flood
or runor was let loose several. days
ago by hints dropped by officials who
claim to be on the Inside" POLITICALLY
The hint quickly grew to such propor
tlons that the President was deter
mined that something ought to be said
officially.
The added thought OF the White
House spokesman In saying who
would not be appointed to a certain
post, however. was something new
and has resulted in the political
guessers dropping one line of con.
lecture and picking up another
Recent Resignation Reports.
The necessity of denying cabinet
shake-ups is part of the presidential
job. Washington is always full OF
rumors and cabinets are made and
unmade overnight by the political
soothsayers. Sometimes they guess
right. sometimes partly right and
sometimes all wrong, but the guessing
process goes along.
Recent reports have had Secretary
Mellon, Secretary Wilbur, Secretary
Hoover, Secretary Kellogg and others
ready to step out and their successors
selected. Maybe one or all of these
will some day leave. but there is no
authoritative indication Of which or
when.

Jim Popesku Not Guilty

The case of State OF Montana

afternoon at the court house before
Justice J. j. McEIroy and jury Of
six men The defendent was
charged with working and employ.
ing female help more than eight
hours a dav.
All the mattresses testified that
they did not work more than eight
hours. The only testimony to the
contrary was that of the pastry
cook. Mrs. Ole Gunderson, who tes,
tilted that she had certain
amount of work to do and some
times it required more than eight
hours, and that often members ol
her family would come in for visit
This took up some of her time
which she felt Obliged to make up.
After the jury had deIiberated a
few minutes they promptly returned
a verdict Of not guilty" County
Atty. represented the State and

Wi||iston Well Supply
Ample For All Needs

Williston, N. D., Sept. 5-Wil.
liston Is now using we'll water ex-
clusively and the change, forced by
the accentricities of the Missouri
river, which has been the sole
source Of supply until this week,
promises to be money saving one
for the city in several ways
The change has enabled the wat.
er department TO dispense aimos
entirely with alum, which cost $3,-
200 last year. E. S. Jasperson,
water superintendent, believes the
use of alum can be eliminated en-.
tirely after the we'll has been
pumped for few weeks. In add
tiOn to this saying, the city will be
spared the need of employing men
to make changes that were neces-
sary in intake pipes, whenever
there was a decided change in the
levels of the river, this item
amounting to thousands of dollars
in some years.
Settling tanks are no longer need
ed and these will now be used for
the storage of pure we'll water, Civ
ing the department total storage
capacity Of 100000 gallons. This
disp0ses of the need of constructing
a storage tank, as recently demand
ed by the insurance inspection bu-
reau, and which would have cost
several thousand dollars. City En-
gineer Robinson believes that these
will prove ample for all emergen-
cies. The well water is 20 degrees
colder than river water at this time
and Is also somewhat softer. Con.
tiDuous pumping has convinced
authorities that the supply is ample
but another we'll will be dug TO pro-
vide an emergency.
The well drilled for the Great
Northern railroad; and which is
much deeper than the city well, has
also proved equal to present de-
mands, and another will be drilled
about 100 feet from the first as in
surance against shortage, thus COM
pletiDg the emancipation of city and
railroad from the erratic Missouri.

Spring Wheat More
Protein Than Winter

Spring wheat generally in Mon.
tana is showing higher protein con.
tent this year than winter wheat
according to reports at the state
grain inspection laboratory here.
The best showines for spring wheat
are from CulbertsoD, the best sam
pies rarging from l425 to 1910
per cent. Samples nearly as good
have been obtained from Hysham
and Bozeman.
The winter wheat average ap-
pears 10 be between II and IL per
cent Some of the samples show
less than 8 per cent protein and
many are between 10 and Ii per
cent. The best winter wheat samp-
lie handled at the laboratory here
was one from Fife, 14.10 per cent
protein. Hiehwood and Fort Ben
ton haye specimens close to ID per
cent.
The wheat in many cases is of
heavy weight, according to the lab
oratory tests. 1t is of a quality of
especially good flour making prop
erties.-Great Falls Taibune.

Bull Association
Aid to Dairyman
Means Offered to the Small
Owner to Secure Use of
Improved Sires.
prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.l
Few dairymen are so situated finan-
cially that they can afford to pur-
chase really first-class rure-bred
bull for medium-sized or small herd
of dairy cows, says ]. G. Mcdowell,
dairy husbandman of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. But every
dairyman, regardless Of the size Of his
herd or the condition OF his pocket
book, can we'll afford to own a share
in a high-class bull. In fact, the
dairyman with only few cows from
which to obtain an income Is the
very one who needs high-producing
dairy herd. He Is the man who can
least afford the great losses that come
from carelessness in breeding.
Use Of Improved Sire.
For dairymen In these circum-
stances the cooperative bull associa-
tion offers means of securing the
use of better dairy bulls than could
otherwise be had. Through the sys-
TEN of transferring bulls from farm
to farm, as Is done In bull asso-
citation, 1t is possible to keep all bulls
until their daughters have made rec
ords, and until the records Of
the dams and the daughters have
been compared. That makes 1t pos
sible to determine which are the good
bulls and which ones should be retired
from service.
When the census was taken In 1920
only 25 per cent Of the dairy bulls Of
the United States and per cent of
all the dairy cattle were pure-bred, and
there was only one pure-bred bull to
each % farms. That is not good
record for an important dairy coun-
try. To improve this condition the
first step should be to eliminate oil
bulls except the pure-breds; the next,
to prove all the pure-bred bulls through
the records of their daughters and to
eliminate all whose daughters are un-
satisfactory. The bull association Is
one means by which these results may
be brought about, says Mr.. Mcdowell
What Dalrymen Think.
The growth Of movement does not
always prove its value; but In the
case of dairy-bull associations the
continued and almost constant growth
since the work began is at least some
indication of what the dairymen think
of this method of cooperative breed
ing. In 1910, two years after the
work began, there were associa-
tions; In 1915 there were Is associa-
tions; In 1920 there were 1913 in 30
states; and In 1927 there are 248 asso-
Citations In 33 states.
