Robinson took issue with this
statement, asserting so per cent Of
the associations money was con-
tributed by seven men.
The Indiana senator said of the
$685. 900 raised by the association
this year, $4,000 came from the
following:
Irene Dupont, $4,000: Pierre Du-
pont, $12, 500; Lamont Dupont, ST.

the place where they started on
Snake creek it was not mucn
more than go miles, by the route
they took, to Beaver creek.
"Some of the Sioux and ASSN

others were on foot. There were
a number of women in the party.
One of these women still lives
in Poplar. She is the widow of

He still lives, and is a great friend

"The scouts who had been sent
out by the Sioux and Assinni-
BONES discovered the camp of
the eros Ventres on Beaver creek
at a point known as Bull Hook,
south of the present city of Havre.
After the scouts returned with
their report it was planned to at
tack the Gros Ventres camp at
night. The Sioux and Assinni-
BONES ran off the horses be-
longing to the Gros Yentres and
then fired into their camp. No
one was injured. The Gros Ven
tres picked up their horses and
soon were On the trail Of the en-

The eros Ventres, being much
better armed than the Sioux, soon
made quick work of killing a num-

their horses. 1t was a great vic
tory for the eros Ventres.

After returning to camp with
a large number of scalps they had

Will some citizens of Montana dislike the primary nomlnauhs

Born at Peoria. ILL.,, on Janu-
airy. 81, 1865, and taking up his
residence in Montana at an early
| age. the old scout passed through
some of the most stirring times
witnessed in the conquest OF the
west. When only 10 he entered
the government service and sery-
ed under General Baldwin and
General Niles with great credit as
chief of scouts in several cam
| paigns. His exploits as an army
| scout are recorded in the history
of Montana.
During his long and active life
on the Fort Peck Indian reserva-
ton he spent practically all his
time in the employ of the govern
ment in various capacities. Before
being confined in the hospital by
his last illness he was stationed
at Frazer as an agency employe.
Thrilling War Trip
Shortly before his death he told
of one of his early day expert
ences in Montana as follows:
always will I remember a trip
made with my father in 1872 to
| the camp Of Old Chief Red Stone
who then was camped on Snake
| Creek, where in 1877 Chief Jo-
seph, one Of the greatest Indian
generals and fighters that ever
roamed the plains Of Montana
fought and surrendered to Gener'
al Miles In 1877.
Little did l believe when on
this trip with my father that J
would afterward become n OF
General Miles scouts. In 1877 my
father was a close friend of Chief
Red Stone and we had gone to
Snake creek for a visit with the
chief and his people, the Assinni
BONES, who always had beer
friendly with the whites, and also
for a buffalo hunt.
while we were in Red Stones
camp a war party numbering
about $50 Sioux Indians came
from the Missouri river en- route
to the Bear Paw mountains IN
search of their enemy, the Gros
Ventres Indians, who made the1I

bv Georae S. Minor, President and General Manager Of The
Gram Sterilization Corporation:
~The Grain Sterilization Corporation discontinued the sale

If a few small lots to millers who were unable to take care
of their immediate needs from any other sources.
"WhiIe the visible supply of wheat in this country is mn
what in excess of that of a year ago-a fact grain traders are

market by The Grain Sterilization Corporation is approximately
three times the amount of that increase, leaving the amount
of wheat on the market substantially below last years figure.
"The Grain trade need have n apprehension of compet'

3-POWER PACT
IS ONLY HOPE

LONDON, March 21.-With hope
of reconciling the naval differ
ences of France and Italy rapidly
diminishing, delegates to the Lon,
don naval conference today
launched their first serious dis
cussion of a three-power disarma,
ment treaty.
Chief delegates of the U tied
States, Great Britain and Japan
held lengthy conferences this
morning. 1t was openly admitted
that the American delegation is
anxious to push formulation of a
tri-partite agreement which would
be convertible into a five-poWer
treaty whenever the Italians and
French settle their difference.
This settlement may, in the
words of an American spokesman,
come during the tenure of the
present conference or it may be
elsewhere at some future time.
It now appears virtually Gel.
tain, however. that this five-power
conference will disband with only
a tri-partite agreement as its
achievement. Two inches will be
left in the treaty for France and
Italy to slide into their places
when they are ready.
Definite formulation of a three
power agreement awaits the Jap
anese governments approval of
the American-JapaneSe compro-
mise agreement. When this is
received, probably not before Mon
DAY, the British, Japanese and
American delegates will round
up the most satisfactory tri-partite
treaty that is possible.

TARIFF IN PERIL
Of NEW FIGHT

The Administrations tariff bill,
designed to bulwark American in

cheap foreign competition, neared
enactment by the Senate today
but with threats voiced to smash
the measure wide open and re-
new all the hundreds of economic
battles fought and decided in the
last seven months.
These threats came from lead

efforts Of the billion dollars

Although the Senate twice has
refused to place duties on crude

time. Under ruling by Vice
President Curtis, an amendment
was offered by Senator Pine R..O
OF Oklahoma, proposing a tariff
OF 40 cents a barrel on oil and
20 per cent ad valorem on gaSo-

than the 81 and 80 cent oil
