vXIISE mothers find the things

learned they can depend on one thing
to restore a youngsters good nature
when he's cross, %fretful, upset.
The experience of Mrs. Walter E.
Cross, Littleton, Denver, Colorado, is
a typical one. She says: II have used
California Fig Syrup with Thora for
eight years and with June since she
was a tiny baby. Whenever they're
the least bit oonstipated or restless |
give them a little. 1t has them

wonderful preparation with them"
Physicians endorse the use of pure
vegetable California Fig Syrup when
bad breath, coated tongue, dullness,
feverishness, listlessness, ETC., show
a child's bowels are in need of help.
Weak stomach and bowels are toned
by its gentle aid; appetite increased;

FUR R ARE
GROWING FAST
FUR TRADE STATES OLDEST IN
DUSTRY; II DIFFERENT
ANIMALS RAISED

Montana's oldest industry, the fur
trade, is steadily regaining a prom
inent place among the states re-
sources. Although adventures who
faced hardships and other perils to
set their traps, lay lines and stalk
game with weapons have passed,
they have been replaced by business
men who build shelters, fence fields
and marshes and supervise proper
breeding Of fur bearing animals, to
operate fur farms.
Where the pioneer trapper destroyed
wild life to gain a livelihood, the mod
ern fur farmer strives to increase 1t
and the success Of the latter method
is indicated by the fact that there are
now 204 licensed fur farms in Montana
and that last year pelts valued at ap-
proximately $650,000 were shipped out
of the state. This is exclusive of pre-
datory animals and all rabbits, fishers,
badgers and certain other species, ac-
cording to figures supplied the state
division Of publicity by the fish and
game department.
Fur farming in Montana is not re-
stricted to any one section of the state,
although the greater number Of farms
are found in the Bitter Root, Flathead,
Gallatin and Yellowstone valleys. Since
last fall almost a score of new fur
farms have been established and re-
ports indicate that the individual farms
are increasing the number of stock
and species handled. Out of the total
number of farms, only nine are de-
voted to the raising of one kind Of ami
mails, some breeding as many az five
or six kinds.
Mink are raised by the largest num-
Der Of farms, followed by muskrat,
marten and fox. T%wenty-one different
animals are bred on the 204 farms
including the following, with the num-
Der of farms engaged in growing the
various species:
Mink, 1T; muskrat, 81; marten, At,
fox, 40: beaver, 33; racoon, 10, rabbit
6; fisher, 5; otter, A; skunk, 4; badger
4: deer, 3; weasel, /; bear, l; lynx, l;
elk, |; coyote, /. Listed also with the
fur farmers are four farms raising Chi
nese p%heasants and M growing Cana
dian geese. Indicative of the diverSi-
fled nature of modern fur farming Is
the fact that the farms are devoted
to So different combinations of the 81
kinds of animals, with Is raising mink
and marten, 13 mink and muskrat, ano
ii mink, marten and muskrat. OF the
farms that raise but one species, 81

WILL PUT GAS THIEVES
IN JAIL, JUDGE SAYS

Jail for gasoline thieves" is the new
motto of Kalispells police court, &C.
cording to Judge Eugene Mccarthy, OF
Kalispell, who has just handed out q
30-day sentence to Clinton Cotterel fol-
lowing his plea of guilty to siphoning
gasoline from the automobile of j. P.
Bruckhauser, former mayor.
The former mayor heard someone in
front of his house one night and be-
came strongly suspicious that it was
the probable cause of his recent gasO-
line shortages. Rushing out OF the
house he made a flying tackle-his
bunch was a good one.
A few minutes later Cotterel, gasoline
can and all, came rafting into the
police station with a patrolman.

4 man whose judgment fellow citizens
trusted implicitly, and he possessed
ability in widely divergent fields. His
scope of activity seemed almost with
out limitation.
His power to Judge character was
nothing short of remarkable. He loaned
money to men with little security other
than his own estimate of their in
tegrity and worth, and he lost scarcely
a penny.
Legends have sprung up about him,
but they are based on facts. There
are many pages from his life that
read like fiction.
He was still only a boy when he
embarked ,'pon the career that was to
prove so eventful. In 1854, at the age
of 16, he left his Massachusetts, birth
place to ship from New York as a sailor
before the mast.
His first voyage was on the clipper
Cathay, and the destination was Sid
ney, Australia. That voyage around
stormy Cape Horn to the far away
Antipodes must indeed have been an
exciting adventure for the 16-year-old
Yankee lad. He was gone two years
and during the trip the Cathay touched
the shores Of mystic China, then little
known to white men.
His appetite for the sea still un-
whetted, he sailed from New York
again in 1856, this time around the
Horn to San Francisco.
In California, however, he decided
to remain. He became interested in a
fruit farm in the Napa valley, and
there he made his home for nine years.
But his ambitious spirit was not con-
tent, and during most of that period
he was devoting himself to a study
of law. He was his own teacher, and
no student ever had a more stern
master.
Success crowned his persistent effort,
though it was not until 1868, after he
had removed to Malad City, Idaho,
that he was admitted to the bar. He
almost Immediately became clerk of
the United States district court, and
prosecuted numerous important cases.
On one occasion, his vigorous meth
DDS of dealing with evil doors almost
cost him his life. The defendant in a
case he was prosecuting threatened to
kill him in cold blood if he was con-
victed. The threat failed to brighten
the young attorney in the least-it
made him only the more determined
to convict the man. He presented a
clear case against the prisoner, and
the jury arrived at a verdict in a very
short time. In some unknown manner,

JURY DECLARES ASKIN
GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER

Alva Askin was convicted of man.
slaughter by a district court jury at
Ekalaka in his trial for the fatal
beating of Charles Haven, 81, stock
man, on a highway several months
ago..
Askin was accused of striking a
blow on the temple which caused
death. Haven had stopped to help
Askin, his brother, Bob Askin, r0deo
performer, and Wesley Stricken pull
their car from some mud.
The jury left fixing Of penalty to
the court, but recommended leni-
ency because the defendant is only
II years old.
The case against Bob Askin and

killing, was postponed.

TREATY OF 1851
VIOLATED; CLAIM
OLD-TIMERS TESTIFY OF EARLY
RANGE CONDITIONS; INDIANS
ASK COMPENSATION

An effort to recover claims for
damages for alleged breach of the
treaty of 1851, which it is alleged
that land was taken from the Crow
Indian tribe by the United States
government, resulted in a suit of the
Indian tribe against the federal gov
eminent, and a hearing was recently
held in Billings before M. j. Hawkins,
court reporter, who has been APP
pointed commissioner of the court
Of claims for hearings in southern
Montana.
Attorneys for the Grow tribe and
an attorney from the attorney generals
Office conducted the examination in
Billings and at Hardin, where a num-
Der of witnesses were also examined.
The only witnesses examined in Bill
lings were Judge o. F. Goddard and
1. d. ODonnell, pioneer farmer.
The Grow country, as recognized by
the government in the treaty of 1851
and later taken away from them IL
legally, according to tribal claims, con-
sisted of all Montana land between the
Musselshell and Yellowstone rivers to
neal Miles City and also land along
Powder, Tongue and Rosebud rivers
south of the Yellowstone and into
Wyoming. 1t also included headwaters
Of Powder river and land north Of the
upper Platte and Wind river to head
waters of the Yellowstone in Wyoming.
It Is claimed that this land was taken
away from them in 1868 through means
not sanctioned by the tribe.
In addition, the suit is brought to
recover sums the government is alleged
to have later agreed to pay and which
were not paid for loss of cattle in the
tribal herd and for excessive expendi-
lures on irrigation projects.
The case has been pending for two
years and dispositions have been taken
from time to time.
The Crow tribe was represented by
Charles Meredith and Charles HAPPIER
Of Washington, and by Gwinn e. Mad
dox of Hardin. Mr.. Meredith, assisted
by Hardin attorneys, was at the Bill
lings hearing. The government was
represented by George Storemont.
The hearing completed present work
on the suit, Mr.. Storemont returning
to Washington and Mr.. Meredith going
to Pocatello, Ida.
Southern Montana witnesses were
examined as to use made of the land In
early days and its probable value at
that time and also in regard to its
resources and the amount of game,
timber and minerals in its primitive
state.
