MEDICINE LAKE MEN
NARROWLY ESCAPE
DEATH IN EXPLOSION

Tuesday evening M. D. Eckley and
A. G. Johnson encountered an ex-
perience which might have resulted
in instant death to the both of them.
The two men, who were driving
a closed car from the powder house
near a coal mine, and had five kegs
of the explosive with them, which
they were taking to the mine to be
used in blasting coal. When about
40 rods from the city limits of Medi-
cine Lake, one of the kegs of powder,
in some manner, caught fire, and in
an instant the whole inside of the
car was blazing oven. How the
powder was burned up without an
explosion still remains a mystery.
They managed to get out of the
car and put out the blazing clothing
Of each other, badly burning their
hands while doing so.
The car was totally burned by the
fire and after the accident two kegs
OF powder were found in a field sew
eral rods from where the ruins of
the car stood.
The two men were brought to the
Plentywood hospital, where it was
found that they both were badly burn
ed about the face and hands. How
ever, the injuries are not considered
serious and the patients are getting
along nicely.

South America Enthusiastic Over
News of Good VIII Tour BY Hoover

Washington, Nov. 12.-South AM
erican governments were reported by
state department officials to have re-
ceived with enthusiasm the news of
President-elect Hoover's good will
tour.
Replies have come from Peru,
Chile, Uruguay and Brazil in re-
sponse to the department mes
sages saying that Mr.. Hoover pro-
posed visiting those countries and
asking whether there was any OBJ
lection on the part of those govern
ments. Argentina had not up to late
Monday made any reply to the com
munication.
A number of other countries have
sent messages to the state depart
ment requesting that Mr.. Hoover Wis
it them. They include Colombia, Gu
ba, Ecuador, Bolivia and Costa Rica.
The announcement from the White
House that Henry P. Fletcher, for
mer der-secretary of state and at
present ambassador to Italy, will ac-
company Mr.. Hoover as a represent
ative of the state department, was
followed by conferences between
state and navy department officials
to work out details Of the trip. Mr.
Fletcher who was in Washington to
act as secretary general of the Pan
American conference on arbitration
ard Cancellation was selected for the
| trip because of his knowledge of Lat
in-American affairs. He returns to
New York Monday night and left
there Wednesday for Los Angeles to
join Mr.. Hoover's party.
The tour of the president-elect, it
was indicated, viii occupy between
six and seven weeks. The battleship
Maryland will carry the party only as
far as Valparaiso. Mr.. Hoover will
be met at Beunos Aires, after cross
ing the Andes from Chile by rail,
by another American battleship, Ell
ther the Utah or the Florida, on which
he will continue the trip to Monte
video, Rio de Janeiro and other ports.

Sweeping legislation looking toward
revision of operating plans of the
Montana state highway commission,
is to be introduced at the coming
21st assembly, in an effort to bring
about more equitable distribution of
federal aid funds, according to word
current in capitol corridors. Bills
are now being prepared that the
membership be increased from three
to five, that the gasoline tax be in
creased from three to five cents per
gallon to provide more funds for
highway construction and for the ap-
pointment of IL advisory members Of
the commission-one from each of
the districts formed by the last leg
islature after the passage of the
good roads initiative.
Must Finance Schools
Two big issues confront the coming
legislature-the highway problem and
the solution of the problem of financ-
ing Montanas greater university and
other educational units. The 1h
mill tax will expire in 1880. If the
coming legislative assembly fails to
make some arrangement for financ-
ing the educational institutions, or
passes a measure with referendum
rider attached, members Of the board
of education assert that Montana will
be left with splendid physical equip
ment but without funds on which tc
operate.
Agitation among farmers regard
ing amendment or repeal of the live.
stock bill providing for the inspec.
ton of slaughtered meat and the
branding of hides, has brought fortf
an effort to seek relief. AT the last
