MONTANA INDUSTRY
WILL PROSPER In
. 1929 Is FORECAST
Federal Survey Predicts a Good Year
For MISUNDERSTANDING and Mining
Are Mentioned.

Denver, Jan. IAN upward ten
dency is indicated during 1929 in
most major lines of industry in Mon
tana, according to the federal depart
ment of agriculture statistics compiled
here. This condition is more particu
larly evidenced in agriculture, live
stock, dairying, metal mining, oil, lum-
boring, highway construction and rail
road activities. Activities which will
likely show outstanding expansion
during 1929 will probably be in metal
mining, ore milling and smelter plant
operations.
Copper Mining Activities
Copper mining is indicated to be
exceptionally active. Labor demands
for skilled and unskilled workers will
be stronger in 1929. The supply of
resident workers will likely be ade-
quate to meet requirements in most
lines, with exceptions as follows:
A considerable number of sugar
beet field workers in the spring, a
moderate number of general agricul-
tural workers during the spring and
summer season, a considerable num-
Der of wheat and miscellaneous grain
harvesters during harvest periods, a
considerable number of experienced
metal miners, a moderate number of
railroad maintenance of way and
freight train service workers during
summer and fall seasons.
Agricultural activities will increase
in 1929. Planted acreage will likely
show an increase in wheat, sugar
beets and miscellaneous cereal anC
vegetable crops. Sugar beet acreage
which Appropriated 30,400 acres II
1927 and 28,1OO acres in 1928, may ap.
proximate 37,400 acres in 1879, an in
i crease of $500 acres over 1928 acre
age, with possibility of a greater acre
age than is estimated. Sugar bee
field labor requirements during 1872!
will approximate $500 workers, an in
crease of about LOO over 1928.
Livestock to Expand
The livestock industry will proba
bly, show a noticeable expansion dur
ing 1929, particularly in cattle an
! sheep. The dairy industry will likel
/ show continued expansion during 1872!
A tendency toward greater activit
in metal mining during the year is III
dicated in practically all metal mimi
: districts of the state. Re-opening {
several metal mine properties whiC
have been idle for some time past
T probable during 1929. Metal mininI
e chiefly copper, and smelter activiti'
r in the Butte district, viii likely sho
E considerable expansion. Activity
the Helena region viii also increase.

Coal mining in 1929 will probably
show steady to a slight increase in
activity.
An expansion in, the oil industry is
indicated during 1929. Increased oil
field prospecting work will probably
be noted, particularly in the Helena,
Great Falls, Kevin-Sunburst fields.
Manufacturing plants are indicated
to maintain steady activity during the
year. Ore, smelter and refinery plants
will probably increase operations. The
four beet sugar factories at Billings,
Sidney, Chinook and Missoula, indi-
Gated to run over longer period in
1929 than during 1928, or about 100
days, commencing on or about Oct. 1.
LAUNDERING, both woods and mill op-
erations at Missoula and in other lum-
bering districts in western sections of
the state will probably show activity
during 1929, equal to, if not slightly
greater, than during 1928.
Building Forecast Bright
The volume of building and gener-
al construction in 1929 is indicated tr

bility for an increase in commercial
building and miscellaneous construc.
ton. The 1929 building program al
Billings is indicated 10 slightly exceed
that of 1928. Several commercial
structures will be under way during
the year at Helena. Construction a
Great Falls will probably show
greater volume in 1929 than durinj
the past year. The 1929 building pro
gram at Kalispell will considerabl!
} exceed that of 1928. Construction O.
the Morony dam project near Grea
Falls will be under way during tn,
year. Miscellaneous telephone con

an expenditure of about $3,O52, O0l
and will include considerable amour
: of miscellaneous construction work a
Butte, Miles City, Terry, Forsyth
: Conrad and Flaxville. Construction o

CITE RUSSIA AS
PACT AUTHORITY

Observation-Disclosures Bor-
ali of the Senate foreign relations
committee, in closing his argument
for ratification of the Kellogg war-re-
nunciation pact, cited the Soviet
Union governments use of the treaty
in seeking immediate harmony with
Poland, as evidence that the pact has
real value.
"Since the signin gof the treaty by
Russia" he said, Russia has been
very active in securing the binding
effect of this treaty upon other ma
tions in which she is interested. She
evidently has some confidence in the
treaty."
He quoted an editorial in the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger, and one in the
Baltimore Sun, dealing with Moscow's
proposal to Poland that the treaty be
made effective between them at once.
The Public Ledger said that this
move was ian aclnowledgment-tho
it does not come from the best of
sources-that the treaty is the most
advanced of its kind to emerge from
all of the various efforts to outlaw
war" The Sun gave the Soviet
Union credit for full sincerity in
seeking peace and disarmament. 1t
said Russia "now suggests carrying
out the essential spirit of the Kellogg
agreement, and doing it with as small
waste of time as possible"
Borah commented that this Russian
request to Poland illustrates what
conceive to be the greatest value OF
this treaty. 1t is the attempt on the
parts of governments TO carry out the
principle which is involved here, and
to act upon amicable and peaceful re.
lations with all the governments with
which they may have interests OF
business, and TO adjust their contro.
versies in accordance with the prin.
ciples of this treaty"

Takes Place in Barn and Woman I'm
House.

The following story of a double
murder at Canton, Ohio, a few days
ago, of a farmer and his wife, is al
most an exact reproduction of the
tragedy enacted near Homestead about
two years ago, when Ferdinand
Schlaps took the life of Mr.. and Mrs.
Tony Geisler, paying for the deed
with his own life on the scaffold at
Wolf Point.
Canton, Ohio, Jan. 12.-Edward
Kaltenbaugh, rs, who has confessed
the double murder of John Oser, Can
al Fulton dairyman and his wife, Ber-
tina, was returned here recently from
New Castle, Pa, where he was arrest
ed, and held in county Jail for action
by the grand jury.
Kaltenbaugh has signed a confess
sion to the double killing.
His arrest terminated a search ex-
tending into three states, which has
been under way since Oser was found
in his dairy barn with bullet in his
head and his wife, in her night clothes,
with her head crushed by a bullet in
rock pile nearby. Their bodies were
found Sunday morning by their six
year-old son Harold.
In his confession, Kaltenbaugh,
who was employed on the Oser farm,
admitted that desire for the Oser au-
tomobile, large sedan, prompted him
last Saturday evening to take Oser's
rifle from the kitchen and STAY the
husband and wife.
at come over me all of a sudden"
he explained. "I wanted the automo-
bile, so 1 shot Johnny. Then Mrs.
Oser came out of the house and I shot
her too"
A chance remark made by Oser a
day or two before the fatal shooting,
led directly to Kaltenbaugh's arrest
Oser remarked to friend, L. c. Law
wrence, "Well, it looks as though !
am going TO lose Eddie; he has a girl
in Newcastle"
After the tragedy Lawrence related
it to Sheriff Ed Gibson. Gibson drove
Immediately to Newcastle and told the
officers what he had learned. Yester-
day they advised the sheriff that they
had spotted the suspect.
The quest led to a farm house neal
Grove City where Kaltenbaugh was
found in an upstairs room trying II
conceal himself under a sheep skin
coat. He readily submitted to arres
and confessed.
"Why did you shoot Mrs. Oser 2
