Turkeys

Turkeys
Montana's turkey crop is about
25 per cent less than last year
and il is probable that shipments
to Thanksgiving and Christmas
markets will be less than 40 car
loads as compared with about so
carloads in 1928, according to
Miss H. E. Cushman extension
poultry specialist at Montana
State College. The specialist has
just completed a careful survey of
the important turkey growing
areas of the state While the crop
is short, birds are making excel
lent growth and the prospects
are that the average quality of the
1929 crop will be even higher
than the high standard set by
Pondera county, the leading tur-
key producing county of the state,
will have from six to seven car
loads of turkeys this year as COM
pared with eight carloads in 1928.
Along the northern border, the
counties of Phillips, Roosevelt,
Daniels and others will show a
similar decline. Saltwater, one of
the leading turkey counties in
southeastern Montana, also will
be about 25 per cent below last
year In Custer county the short
crop has caused growers to aban
don, for the time being, plans
for organizing a turkey marketing
pool Other county pools in the
state will operate as last year
About rs per cent of Montana's
turkeys are now marketed thru
cooperative marketing associa |
tions.
In contrast to the Montana sit |
uation, national prospects are for
a turkey crop somewhat larger |
than last year, according to Miss
Cushman. An authoritive report |
from Texas, which produces more ,
turkeys than any other state, ad-
vises that there will be mater
ial increase" as compared with |
last year. The crop in that state, |
however. was short in 1928. Texas |
ships about 200 carloads |
of turkeys to the Thanksgiving |
markets. This year more of the |
birds in the state are expected to I
be held over until Christmas be-
cause of delayed maturity In |
other western states, Nevada and |
Utah report some increases, while /
in Wyoming and Idaho conditions |
appear to be much the same as in |
Montana
To counteract some of the more
factors from the |
standpoint of grower returns,
Miss Cushman looks for a favor
able reaction from the increase of |
four cents per pound in tariff on
dressed poultry in the tariff bill |
now before congress.

MUTINY ENDS

Canon City, Colo, Oct 4-Sui-
eide stalked like a ghost through
the shambles of the Colorado
state penitentiary this morning,
and brought to an end one of the
bloodiest prison mutinies in the
nations history.
Four ring leaders of the mutiny
barricaded with more than $50
other convicts in dollhouse No 8,
surrounded by troops, police and
prison guards, and hopelessly out
numbered, first killed wounded
comrade and then fired bullets
into their own brains.
The other convicts then sur
rendered and were marched out of
the dollhouse just at sunrise.
The mutiny left in it's wake
list Of II known dead, and as
many wounded some of whom
may die.
Guards Slaughtered
Four of the dead were prison
guards, disarmed and slaughtered
IN cold blood inside the dollhouse.
to emphasize the convicts' demand
for unmolested freedom. Three
guards were killed in the early
rioting. Warden Crawford, who de-
clined all offers ito parley with
the embattled prisoners, was him
self wounded during one of the
attacks on the cell block.
National guard troops and DO
lice details from four Colorado
cities fired more than 1000 rounds
of ammunition into the convicts'
stronghold during the night The
battle was marked by two at
tempts to dynamite the dollhouse
walls, one blast breaking all the
windows, but failing to effect a
breach in the masonry.
Priest Is Hero
The hero of the dynamiting at
tempts was Father Patrick O'Neil.
Catholic priest, who for years has
administered to Catholic convicts
within the penitentary. Exclaim-
ing: Il can stand this no longer"
the priest volunteered to place
dynamite against the wall of the
dollhouse in an effort to blast an
opening. William Ranger offered
to assist him in the effort.
Covered by a barrage from ma
chine guns the priest made two
trips with dynamite across the en-
closure to the walls of the mutin-
eers' fortress. He ran swiftly in
the flickering light of the still
burning buildings and despite the
fire directed on him by the con-
victs, made the trips safely. After
a long delay in setting off the
dynamite, the heavy explosion
shook the walls of the entire pris-
on, but the walls of the dollhouse
were virtually undamaged.
Seven Guards Slain
In all, seven prison guards were
killed, three at the outbreak of
rioting Thursday noon. and four
more during the night.
Those killed in the early riot
ing were Roy Brown, Walter
Rinker and Elmer G. Erwin.
Those slaughtered in the cell

aboard ships quicken and every one
within a reasonable distance is ready
to sacrifice his life if necessary. When
I decided to go to the aid of the
Florida every man aboard the America
was on tip-toe. The human machines
of the vessel functioned quietly and
smoothly. Every man wanted chance
to 90 out in the first lifeboat, but the
selection was left entirely to Mr. Man
ming.
Daring, Not Foolhardy.
The chief officer of a vessel has the
privilege, and, might say. it Is really
his duty If he is physically able, to COM
mand the rescuing boat. MIR. Man
ming was ready, I knew, and was de-
serving of the chance. He is daring
but not foolhardy. In crisis felt he
could control himself and be as calm as
the seas were wild. So he left the
bridge and went to the forecastle to
choose his crew from the, volunteers.
The men who decided to wager every
Aing against tremendous odds includ-
ed w. K. Clark, junior engineer: Alloys
W&son, boatswain's mate; Salvatore
Yacco, storekeeper, who acted as the
interpreter; John Talts, sailmaker; Vic
tor Walleck, master at arms; Walter
Trettin, quartermaster, and John Har-
robin and Fonce Kellam, able seamen
AS We proceeded toward the Florida,

White caps suddenly began to ap-
pear on the heavy swells. Then came
snow squat. The wind was increas-
ing in force. An hour after the boat
had left the side of the America the
wind was blowing at hurricane velocity
and binding rain was pelting the
rescuers.
The visibility was poor as the boat
started from the Florida. A fiashlight
was blinking. Mr.. Manning evidently
was trying to get some message to me,
but We could not make 1t out, due to
the rise and fall of the boat. For a
moment thought something was
wrong. The America was being ma
neuvered. was trying to watch every
detail and every man in sight to make
sure he was carrying out his orders
The America was giving but slight
protection to our little boat, but what
little there was it helped. I could see

on the point Of collapse from the
mental strain 1t was then the full
significance of the deeds of these men
came to my mind. 1t was then that I
felt a tingle of pride for having n crew
that could overcome such great OBJ
stacles-rescuing not only 80 men, but
themselves as we'll in sea from which
few crews would ever have emerged tri-
umphant. The water was so rough that
even the thought of raising the lifeboat
could not be entertained.
I again wish to express publicly my
thanks and appreciation to my officers
and men for their assistance. Their
courage and ability should give our peo-
pie something to think about and make
them proud Of the men in the American
merchant marine. They are not look

the plan of rescue, but our plans were
necessarily dependent upon the stu
atoms as they arose. The most i'm
portant thing was to see that suf-
ficient provisions and water were in the
boat. a compass. several lengths of rope,
flares, flashlights. hand lantern and
buckets for bailing. Every man wore
a lifebelt. But it is always wise to re-
check and make certain that every
thing is in satisfactory condition.

it was nearer the bow from which the
crew would have to pull on their start
across the waters for the Florida.
Snow Squall Arrives.
Our plans for the boat getting away
worked perfectly. However, it had not
progressed very far before the unex-
pected happened.
