Death Comes to George Cud-
HE While Alone in His
Room

low City, N. D. Next
Sunday

Wednesday afternoon brought the
sad tidings from Scobey of the pass
ing of George Cudhie, one of the best
known and respected citizens of this
region, who was found dead in his
private rooms at the rear Of his law
office in Scobey by Paul Crum, who
had become alarmed at his absence
from his regular duties and, fearing
that he might be indisposed, had
made entry into the building for the
purpose Of investigation.
Mr.. Cudhie was found lying in his
bed, the reading lamp along side of
him turned on and Monday morning
newspaper set to one side. To all ap-
perances he had become drowsy af-
ter reading, and had dozed off, never
to awaken again.
His sudden death came as COM
plete surprise to everyone for when
last seen, he seemed to be enjoying
the best of health and was actively
taken up with his professional duties.
The body was prepared for burial
and sent to Willow City, where the
deceased had lived at one time. Flu
neral services will be held Sunday
afternoon at that place.
Mr. Cudhie was a man who ranked
high in Northeastern Montana, both
as a citizen and as lawyer In the
legal profession he was rated among
the best informed in the state, ant
had in his possession at Scobey one
of the largest and most complete pri
vate law libraries in Montana. II

and while only on one or two occa
sions he sought political preferment
he figured prominently as a politica
factor in the region.
He was born near Toronto, Cana
da in 1867 and spent his boyhoot
there and in Manitoba. In his )at'
teens he came to North rakot;
where he finished is common school
ing and in 1894 he graduated from
the college of law Of the Universit,
of Minnesota. For a short time h
practiced law in the city of st. Paul
Later he moved to North Dakots
setting up practice at Willow City
and then Crosby. Fifteen years age
he moved to Scobey where he has re
sided since. While Daniels county
was part Of Sheridan county and J
j. Gunther was county attorney, Mr.
Cudhie served as his assistant.

DROUTH CUTS
HARVEST BUT
PRICE HIGHER
Wheat Yield Recorded Is the
Shortest Since
1925

HELENA, Sept. 14-Total value
of Montana crops and cash returns
this year, the federal crop report
ing service says will approach val
ues of the two preceding years more
closely than will production figures
Practically all of Montana's short
crops it is explained, face much
stronger demand than was the case
in either of the two preceding years
The September crop report finds
the combined condition Of the states
principal crops 75.6 percent Of the
10 year average. Continued dry
weather during August brought about
further decrease, except in the
case of corn, which showed a slight
Improvement.
Montana's wheat crop, now placed
at 36,645, 900 bushels, is the shortest
since 1925. The flve-year average
is 51,896,000 bushels. Other cash
crops, including flax potatoes and
beans, will be much smaller than last
year, but production of sugar beets,
alfalfa seed and peas promises to
exceed somewhat last years crops
The apple crop, if present prospects
are realized, will be 25 percent
smaller thar last year.
Feed crops of corn, oats, barley
and rye, together will yield crops
about 18 percent below their five
year production.
Wheat production in the district
including northeastern, east central
and much of central Montana holds
promise of only about A percent
is indicated, while districts in north
central Montana indicate from 81 to
81 percent of norml crop.
Heat and drouth in August reduced
the filling of flax bolls but the pre-
mature ripening forced the crop to
point where it was generally out
of frost damage. General prospects
for the state were lowered by con-
ditions in the important counties of
northeastern and east central Mon
tana, where many fields were found
not worth cutting.
Potatoe growers have been disa-
ppointed, the state officials find.
As early as a month ago, consider
able nonirrigated acreage was found
not worth harvesting. Irrigated
fields that showed good vine growth
now indicate light yields with tub
ers Of disappointing size. Early
September frosts killed vines in
many fields which will hold down ton
mage gains but the marketable per-
centage of the crop is expected to be
larger than usual.

The facts are patent to all. The

1929. DR.. F.. f. Free, writing in the

This summers weather, DR.. Free
Justly remarks, has suited nobody.
Hot spells have been too frequent for
comfort in the city, and cold ones for
the profits of the summer resorts.

glass cinerary urn known as the
Portland vase" which has BEEN on loan
from the Portland family in The British
Museum since 1910, is to be offered for

The vase. which is supposed to date

liam Hamilton, for thousand guineas.
He sold it to the Duchess of Portland.
In 1S45 a lunatic smashed it and there
after it was exhibited under guard in
a special room of the museum.
announcement that the vase would
be sold came as surprise. Unless it

RAILROAD EARNINGS
CONTINUE TO GAIN
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 27.-After
completing year in which their net
earnings increased over sos, 900 600, or
612 per cent compared with 1927, the
railroads of the United States started
off with results in January, which
promise to give them an even more ia
vorable status with investors and to
warrant dividend increases.
The comparisons made in the returns
for last month are with a period of de-
Ginning revenues. A year ago business
was slack and the coal-carrying systems
especially were suffering heavy losses.
There is, however. satisfactory show
ing with 1927 and. most important,
nearly all of the big lines are keeping
control of their expenses except where
these have been affected, as in the
Northwest, by severe Winter weather.
One of the best reports for January
was that of the Baltimore g. Ohio. with
a net increase of AZ per cent over the
same month last year. The Norfolk 81
Western increased it's gross revenues
about $1,200,000 and had 60 per cent
larger operating income than in the
corresponding month of 1923. The
Seaboard Airline also showed a sub
stantial gain. Last year the Lehigh
Valley operated at deficit This year
IL showed a larger operating income.
That of the Wheeling & Lake Erie
nearly doubled in the same period.
In the Southwest all the lines so far
reporting indicated substantial increases
in January. The Frisco gained in gross
and net. Its surplus after charges was
nearly three times larger than last year
and that of the Missouri Pacific over
twice as large. It's subsidiaries, the
Gulf Coast Lines, Texas Pacific and
International a. Great Northern, all pros
pered. The Missouri Pacific has made
application to the Interstate Commerce
Commission for authority to acquire
control by lease for SO years of the %
railroad properties which 1t now domi-
mates through ownership of a majority
of their stocks.
The Great Northern and Northern
Pacific were affected during January by
difficult operating conditions, which
pulled down the net of both roads. The
Minneapolis &, st. Louis. however, had
an operating income of 22,214, COM
pared with an operating deficit last
year of over $4,000. Among the trans
continental roads. Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific showed up we'll, with
larger gross and operating income. In
the South a revival in industrial con-
ditions. a broader traffic flow into Flor
ida and comparison with low totals last
year provided encouraging January net
results.

CONVERTIBLE BOND
ISSUES IN ADVANCE
Credit Outlook Hampers 0p-

Shows Decline.
BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

| SpeCIal OlSpatCH 10 Inc Quar-.
NEW YORK, February 27.-Some
progress was made today in convertible
bonds and there was a better status
for a number of the industrial issues
that have been under pressure due to
unfavorable earnings and to the bust
ness outlook.
The money picture was again Of a
sort that did not encourage buyers in
taking on many loW-return securities.
New financing has dropped off to
nominal proportions. There have been
no corporation bonds offered so far this
week and only few small municipalS
Dealers in the latter cannot get to-
gether with municipalities that want to
borrow. but are not willing to recog-
nize either the change in the security
markets or in interest rates since they
last made loans. Under these condi-
tons, and with insurance companies
willing to take old issues on Az per
cent basis, the market is gradually be-
ing cleaned up.
United States Government loans were
steadier, with this market apparently
being primed for the March Is financ-
ing. whose terms will be announced
next week. These will have to be gen.
erous If they bring satisfactory re-
Spouse from the banks that have been
spoiled by high-interest rates and
whose experience with their Govern
ment deposit in the last few issues has
not been satisfactory.
United States Steel sinking fund SIS
made another substantial advance
which carried them within a fraction of
the price at which they are to be re-
deemed next November. There was
quite a broad market for Dodge IS at
par at which price they were accepta-

to justify the recent break of Is points.
Florida East Coast SIS were also stronger,
with turn in earnings of this property
indicated in the January statement.
The broadeSt market in the con-
vertlbleS was in International Telephone
4l2S, which advanced nearly points,
but the largest gains were in Anaconda
Copper rs and Loews 6s, each up 3
points.
German issues were slightly lower as
result of the political unsettlement in
Germany, and there were rather large
concessions on small offerings in Bo-
livian, Peruvian and City of Budapest
obligations. The tendency of bonds to
decline is not limited to the listed
market, for Is different domestic and
foreign issues on the New York Curb
have sold this week at the lowest prices
OF the year.
