Father FORCES Check
For Christmas Present:

Great Falls, Dec. 24.-UP-De-
termined that his sons, aged IA
and 16, should not be disappointed
on Christmas day, Thomas Carm-
cay of Whitefish admitted to the
police that he forged a $74.71
check in department store.
The elder Carmody was taken in
custody and bound over for trial
to the district court.
His story had all the pathos of
a Charles Dickens Christmas tale.
The mother had died several years
before and since that time he had
been unable to get ahead. With
Christmas just around the corner
and with two young boys eagerly
and hopefully awaiting the great
day, the father said he decided to
risk everything to bring a measure
OF happiness 10 his sons on the
morning of December 25th.

RAIL COMPANIES
FIGHT FOR SPOILS

Miles City, Jan. 2.-UP-The
Wyoming Montana railroad compa-
ny which proposes construction of
line from Miles City to Craig,
Colo.-commonly referred to as
the North and South line-has en-
ergetic supporters in the various
communities which would be bene-
fitted by the project.
1t seems the Union Pacific,
strong opposer of the project, sent
out a party of experts to gather
data along the proposed route
which could be used in discrediting
the project when it is argued be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in February. Activities OF
the U. P. experts were discovered
by the Casper, Wyo. chamber Of
commerce, and Immediately letters
of warning were dispatched to var
! ious affected cities. The commu
nication which was sent to the
Miles City Chamber closed as fol
lows:
"This is for your information
with the suggestion that you pas
it on to the key men of your com
munity so that if these people tr!

fuge as they used in Casper, you

THE LANE. THE Halt AND THE BLIND

A recent ruling in the State of
Oregon may we'll make every
motorist give extraordinary thought
to safety driving. Don't always
expect the person in front of your
car to hop spryly out of your way
when you blow the horn. He may
be blind He may be deafi He may
be lamel And if he is, it is no
negligence on his part to be there
unattended. In fact he has as
much right to the road as you have.
The Supreme Court of Oregon
has recently made such a ruling and
the admonition and explanation
carried with it is most excellent.
In making the ruling authorities in
Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana and
Massachusetts were quoted.
The Supreme Court of Oregon
said:
"You are instructed that the blind
and the halt have as much right
to the use of the streets in the city
of Portland, Ore, as those who
have possession of their faculties,
and it Ii not negligence as a matter
