Kidding Range
OF Wild Horses

In view of the fact that Montana
concerns have recently begun the
canning and exporting of horse meat
to foreign countries, the following
article in regard to wild horses on
forest ranges will be interesting.
The days when herds of wild
horses roamed the broad expanses of
the. open range have not yet passed,
according to forest rangers working
in the Montana forests whose reports
to the district forester show that dur
ing the year just passed round-ups
for the purpose of Riding the range
of these worthless animals have been
conducted on IA separate ranges with
in the national forests and 600 wild
horses have been removed to provide
forage for more valuable livestock.
Since 1925, when the federal regu-
lation authorizing the impounding of
trespassing stock on the national
forests was promulgated by the sec
rotary of agriculture, nearly 5000
head of wild horses have been round
ed up and removed from the ranges.
In that period it is estimated that
equal number of horses have been
impounded in round-ups conducted by
county commissioners, under author
| ity of state laws, on ranges largely
outside the national forests. Addition
al range has thus been provided fol-
some $4,000 head of domestic cattle
If left unniolested on the range
these bands of wild and worthless
horses increase rapidly, appropriate
the best of the range, and often drive
domestic stock away from the salt
grounds or from water holes or
| ranges where water is scarce. Then

BEST WAY TO
CLEAR STUMP LAND

SPOKANE One big handicap of
many farmers in the logged-off sec
tons of Stevens county is lack of
tillable land" said A. K Millay, coun-
ty agricultural agent, during a talk
to trainers i'll Chewelah last week.
1.-THE only way to overcome this handi-
cap is to clear more land, and as eco
nomically as possible. Experience and
experiments both agree that usually
the most economical method of clear
ing is to slash, burn and surface clear,
then seed and leave in grass for three
to five years, or until the smaller
stumps are well rotted, the brush
killed and only the larger stumps that
are now easier removed are left"

but let you come out and find out
for yourselves just what We are going
to do and how.
Last Friday night the Libby boys
defeated the Eureka. team, Troy won
over Eureka so to 20, we won over.
Troy "a to IL, Eureka won over Kali
ispeu 25 to % and Whitefish only
beat Kalispell on their own floor by
a score of 16 to IS. So by going one
way and another no team has any
more advantages than the other and
30 this gives Libby even greater
standard than Whitefish and being
on our own floor it is sure hard to
tell how this game is coming out
The boys say they are going to
beat Whitefish and If they say they
can and we give them all the support
we have, they will do it.
Last Friday night the support OF
the town and the school combined
may and can be said to be the most
support given the boys this year.
They appreciated the support and so
let's give even more support this Fri
day against Whitefish and harder
team.
This is the last game of the sea-
son for the boys on the local floor
so let's give them a great start for
the tournament which is coming W
February %.
The preliminary last Friday eve
ming, a game between the Sophs ane
Juniors, was thrilling and also inter
esting all through the game. At ne
time did either team seem to be
enough in the lead to be sure of thu
game. The final whistle blew with
the Sophs in the lead, the first game
they have won from the Juniors
this year.
Oh yes, almost forgot, Nut
Cormier says it himself that he de
serves most of the credit won from
the game last Friday night. He say
that his arms and tongue are still
from the support he made his root
ing section give the boys. He admits
too. that he was the chief factor tina
night of the school and town com
bined. We agree.

said The victim told police of No. 2

he got up at the end Of the prescribed
period his visitor had disappeared.
Cooper, an employe of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, had been reading late
last night. He believes the woman must
have seen the light in his fourth floor
window and come up the staircase.
When he heard knock at his door,
Cooper half opened 1t. Seeing his caller
was a woman. Cooper explained he was
in his night clothes and that ohe could
not come in. The woman, however, was
insistent that she had important busi-

M|SLED, DECLARE
3 INQUEST JURORS
Believed All Mcpherson Case
Witnesses Had Suicide
Data, They Say.

Three members of the coroner's jury
which rendered the much-discussed
verdict of Suicide" after their inquest
into the death OF Mrs. Virginia NC
Pherson told a reporter from The Star
today that they we're 'misled" into be-
lieving that all of the IL witnesses
summoned by the coroner would cor
roborate Lieut. Edward j. Kelly's theory
that the nurse died by her own hand.
This, they said. was the reason they
were content to render a verdict after
hearing but three of the witnesses.
Four OF the jurymen said they did
not know the identity of the witnesses,
had no knowledge of their connection
with the case and were given no inkling
either by the coroner or police as to the
nature of the testimony they might
have given.
Two of the jurymen would not dis
cuss the case in view of the pending Of
ficlal inquiry into the activities Of the
police officers responsible for investi-
eating the girls death. Three of the
four who did not feel bound to silence
in the matter were agreed they had
been "misled," but could not agree as
to the person giving them the erroneous
impression.
Two believe it was DIR. J. Ramsay
Nevitt and the other that 1t was Lieut..
Kelly. They did not believe that either
of these officials had deliberately misled
them.
View Of Mr.. McQuade.
M. D. McQuade. chief clerk of the
Washington Gas Light Co., said he
had not the slightest idea that any Of
the nine uncalled witnesses would have
contradicted any of the testimony given
by Lieut.. Kelly. Although emphasizing
that he had implicit confidence in
Kelly's integrity, Mr.. McQuade said that
had he been familiar with the conflict
ing nature of the circumstances sur
rounding the girls death his verdict
might have been different"
When I was called to the morgue
to serve on the jury" Mr.. McQuade
said, Il did not even know what the
case was. After arriving at the morgue
we were taken to the undertaker's to
view the body and then when we re-
turned to take up the inquest. I heard

affairs of the corporation made
by the controller generals office.
1T appears from the audit of sales
of ships" the report said, that in GER
tain cases ships were sold at exceedingly
low prices compared with their con-
struction costs; that successful bidder
was granted terms materially advar1-

SWANSON TO DISCUSS
ROOT COURT FORMULA
Virginia Senator to Speak at 1890
Tonight Over WMAL in
Radio Forum,

Senator Claude A. Swanson Of Vir-
ginia, ranking Democratic member of
the Senate foreign relations committee.
will speak at 1890 o'clock tonight over
Station WMAL in the National Radio
Forum hour arranged by The Star and
sponsored by the Columbia Broadcast
ing System.
He will discuss 1.-THE Root Formula"
contained In a revision of the statutes
of the World Court and designed to
make possible the membership of the
United States in that tribunal.
Serator Swanson was author Of the
reservations, which were attached to
the entry of the United States, voted
in the Senate three years ago. One
of these reservations declares that the
World Court should give no advisory
opinions" in the matters In which the
United States has or claims to have
an interest without first obtaining the
consent of this government. This reser-
vation has been stumbling block to
the entry of the United States into the
court and the Root formula is designed
to protect the interests of this country
and at the same time make its entry
under such conditions agreeable to
member nations Of the court.
