FARM RELIEF
FAILURE Seen
conferences Fail To
Reach Accord; Veto
Is Predicted

WASHINGTON, May I1.-P-Mc-
Nary-Haugen farm relief or nothing
seems to be the situation facing con-
gress and President Coolidge as the
tentative date for adjournment grows
nearer and progress toward final dis
position of the bill by congress slows
up.
While both the senate and house
passed the measure by substantial
margins, there were differences In
the two bills requiring conference
action between the two bodies. The
first conference held yesterday. a
week after passage by the house,
failed to bring a settlement and fur
Their meetings have been called.
Senator McNary, republican, Ore
gon, co-author of the bill and man
ager of the conferences, is demanding
an early decision on the final form
Of the bill, but he admitted after the
first meeting that several days prob
ably will be required to get the meas
ure down to the White House.
There is little doubt in the minds
Of congressional leaders that the
president again will veto the bill. IL
has been made known that the modi-
fled measure meets only part Of Mr..
Coolidge's objections to the bill pass
ed last session and vetoed by him.
Congressional leaders have set May
10. but May rs seems more likely as
the adjournment date. Even with
two more weeks, however, 1t IS not
believed that time would be had IN
which to put through any other farm
relief legislation should the president
put his veto on the new McNary-
Haugen measure. There is consider
able doubt that this bill could be
passed over a veto.

with further instructions to secure his
surrender and subsequent transportation
to the Standing Rock reservation in
Dakota.
John s.. Truscott, then a sergeant in
c of the Fifth infantry under
the captaincy of G. E. Hargous, is the
only man now living in Miles City who
was a member of the Chief Gall expedi-
ton and who recalls many Incidents that
occurred during the intensive campaign
that resulted in accomplishing the OBJ
~jectives as set forth in General Miles
orders.
Colonel Ilges departed from Fort Keogh
on Dec. is, 1880, in command Of six
companies of the Fifth infantry. and ar
rived at the mouth Of the Poplar river
on Christmas eve. There they were
joined by two companies of the Sixth
infantry who were housed in the can
Torment at that point. The troops made
slow progress during the 10 days that
they were on the march. The snow lay
heavily upon the ground. 1t was bitter
ly cold, the thermometer registering from
40 to go degrees below zero.
Mr.. Truscott says there were between
three and -four thousand Sioux in camp
under the direct command Of Chief Gall
near the mouth Of the Poplar. They
were in a hostile mood. God had be-
come scarce and there stalked the threat
of starvation through the ranks OF the
indians and their families.
Shortly after the arrival of Colonel
Ilges. a courier appeared in the form Of
an Indian sent from Chief Calls tepee.
In delivering his message the courier
said that Chief Gall demanded the sur
render of the troops under Colonel Ilges
or he would treat them as General Gus
ter was treated. Listening intently to
the words of the courier, Colonel Ilges
replied, asking the courier to present his
compliments to Chief Gall and to inform
him that if the Sioux would not sur
render. that he, Ilges, would attack at
once.
Attack is Ordered
1t was learned upon the arrival Of the
troops into the hostile territory that the
Sioux had been committing depredations,
first on q small scale, but increasing as
the rigors of the winter drove them to
seek food of which they were much in
need. The primitive instincts of the
Sioux were aroused to the pitch where
the struggle to exist had forced them
into positions wherein they expressed
their hostility toward the white man in
no uncertain manner
The order to make the attack was is
sued by Colonel Ilges on Jan. 2, 1881.
One man from each company was left as
caretakers. The troops got under way
on the march in the early morning and
about IL O'Clock arrived in the vicinity
of Chief Calls camp. The weather was
biting cold. A skirmish line was formed
The troops were ordered to form for an
attack. Before his was undertaken,
however, Interpreters were sent to the

his galaxy of indian generals looked for
military guidance. AS a result Major Reno
was held on the hill to the south while
the mass Of the combined Sioux and
Northern Cheyennes annihilated the
Custer command on that fatal day in
June of 1876.
Chief Gall had hoped against hope
that in some manner the great Sioux
tribe could again be gathered together
to offer an obstacle to the encroachment
OF the white man into the ancient hunt
ing grounds of his people. He had re-
1ected the overtures made to him to
quietly surrender and deliver himself and
his braves and their squaws and children
to be transported to O reservation set
aside for them.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, commandment at
Fort Keogh, located at the mouth of the
Tongue river in southeastern Montana.
had been advised from time to time Of
the movement of Chief Gall by his
scouts and couriers. The great Indian
leader had refrained from committing
any serious depredations during the few
short years that he enjoyed the partial
freedom OF the ranges and the buffalo
hunting grounds. The severity of the
winter Of 1880-81 saw the gradual de-
pletion Of his food stocks. His braves
became unsteady. Word had come to
Fort Keogh hat the Sioux were growing
restless. w. B. Jordan, who conducted
q trading store at the mouth of the Pop
lar river, reported hat the Indians were
becoming insOlent. They would enter
his store and by signs demand merchan-
disc and food and indicate in a threat
ening manner that they had nothing to
trad or money with which to pay.

OLD LANDMARK
IS TORN DOWN
ANACONDA'S FIRST FRI STATION
BEING WRECKED AFTER STAND
ING 40 YEARS

After standing for 40 years as a
we~ather-beaten monument of pine
boards to the hOnored service of Ana
cOnda's first volunteer firemen, the old
Anaconda city fire station is being
RACED. The building, which served its
purpose when Anaconda was an infant,
is being torn down to make way for O
modern business structure.
Construction of Anaconda's first fire
station began in 1889, when the citizens
of the city decided that they needed
something more than a water bucket to
protect their property from fire. The
ely expended s1,515 for fire equipment.
which included hose carts and the neces-
sary paraphernalia used at that early
date.
James Richie was appointed fire chief,
with headquarters in q lofty tower con-
structed on the roof of the fire station.
From this vantage point one was able to
view practically the entire city at that
time. Chief Richie and volunteer fire
fighters relayed at the watch. The sight
of a fire was by a gong n
bell and the volunteers, assisted by citi-
zens who happened to be near the fire
hall, would rush to the scene of the
blaze, pulling the hose carts with them.
Among the old volunteer fire fighters
were Charles Collins and Frank Bertsch.
In their time the fire department re-
sponded to calls of some of the most ex-
citing fires In the history of the old fire
hall. Many OF these fires are still sub
jects Of conversation among the old
timers.
Besides being the city's official fire
hall. the building was also a social CEN
ter. Each evening groups of men would
gather at the station to discuss the price
Of hay, the political campaigns, the barn
dance in the lower valley and other SUBJ
jects. Many movements hat radically at
fected the city were born in the OLD
building, 1t is said.
When the hose carts were drawn out
of the building for the last time the
place became q blacksmith shop. Later
1t was renovated INTO a church common
ly known as the Baptist church. for the
colored residents Of the city. Still later
1t became a warehouse n a gun shop.
The building has been sold to Sam
Segan, who is wrecking 1t for removal to
his ranch. Mr.. Segan plans to construct
various outbuildipgs with the lumber
and corrugated iron. In tearing the
building down, workmen found that 1t
had been strongly built. apparently with
the intention of standing a ong time.
The nails are of the old-styIe iron va
riety which, when driven home, hang
t~enaciously to their place, The timber
in the structure is heavy planking which
was covered with a heavy corrugated
iron.

The symptoms for cholera are
loss of appetite. fever, discharge
from the eyes, reddish and pur-
plish discoloration of the skin and
constipation followed by profuse
diarrhea. The herd infected shows
the disease in rather a chronic
form rather than an acute one.
In the later stages of the disease
the hog will have difficulty in
keeping up in the hind quarters.
There should be- no cause for
alarm and have hesitated to vac
cinate because when vaccination is
started it must be continued over
the entire area from year to year
or as long as hogs are raised in
the area. Due to the fact that no
vaccination has been followed. we
should like to have every hog
raiser of this section of the coun-
ty watch their hogs for any symp-
toms of the disease and report it
Immediately so that steps may be
taken to check any further spread.

OK MARBLE

A request has come from farm
ers for an article on control of the
Ok Marble. The Ok Marble or Heel
fly as sometimes called. is usually
noticed in the spring time on the
backs OF cattle just under the skin.
and Jumps are found with small
openings, and later with larger op-
enlngs. If we were to watch these
we would find that later in the
spring the Jumps would disappear
and it would be difficult to find
the opening. The cause of the
lump is the development of the
larvae or worm stage of the fly.
Later on, these emerge thru this
hole in the skin and drop to the
ground where they remain for
about 30 days and then emerge
from the ground as adult flies to
lay eggs which probably occurs in
June and early July.
The adult fly lays her eggs, us
ually. on the lower part of the
leg of the cow and during this
period of the year you may often
see cow running around wildly
in the pasture and many people
think the fly stings the cow in lay
ing the eggs, but careful observa-
tion has shown that the buzzing of
the fly is the thing which annoys
the cow. The eggs are glued to the
hair by the fly and are probably
licked off by the cow.
The control measura consists
first in the removal of the larvae
from the backs of cattle and the
the use of a wide mouth bottle
merely pressing down over these
openings and pushing the grub up
into the bottle or you may push
! them out by using your thumbs
Each one of these grubs should be
removed and you should follow q
systematic program. The removal
of them each day is found an easy
way to arrange it. There is Ger.
| tain period in the development OF
the grub when they are more cas-.
ily removed than at other times
( The killing of these larvae. OF
course. will remove many of the
