BABY
Willard Reid Gains Honor at
Worlds Fair Contest

He's a winner-and in one of the
largest baby contests eve held.
That's a good record and a good
start in life for one as young as
18-months-old Willard Eugene
Reid of Washoe.
1t all happened at Chicago at
that gigantic spectacle of the
earth's wonders, that galaxy of
modern science-the Worlds Fair.
A large American mail order
house-before you guess it, We'll
tell you, Sears, Roebuck and COM
pany,-announced a nationwide
baby contest, entries to be judged
by pictures submitted. Thousands
upon thousands of baby pictures
sent by proud parents throughout
the length and breadth of the land
were received as a result.
Recently the winners were Sc
lected and this week Mr.. and Mrs.
Willard Reid of Washoe informed
Flash's studio, their photograph
ers, they had been advised that
their submission of little Willard
Eugene's photograph had earned
him a blue ribbon prize winning
award in the contest.
Cosidering that over 100000
baby pictures were received to
make the baby contest the largest
of its kind ever staged, Baby Will
lard can well wear a baby smile
and point out:
Amt dat 'sumpin'."
What's more, W. w Eastman,
proprietor of the studio, is jubilant
owe the fact that a product of his
shop, located way out yonder in
the Beartooths", was declared a
winner against stiff competition
from eastern studios.

COUNTY CAMPAIGN
Party Members to Gather
At Fromberg, Red
Lodge Meets

The opening gun in the general
election campaign of the Repub-
lican party in Carbon county will
be fired Friday with the lanyard
being jerked by the party's lead
ing candidate, Judge George M.
Bourquin of Butte, nominee for
the long term in the United States
senate, who is scheduled to adj
dress audiences at rallies to be
held in Fromberg and Red Lodge.
Both meetings are to be attend
ed by the party's leaders in this
county, as well as by all Republi-
can candidates on the county tick
ct that were nominated at the re-
cent primary, the latter to be seat
ed on the speakers platform and
to give brief talks before the as
semblies.

and is well informed on virtually
all of the important topics of the

Despite the fact that the new
northeast entrance to Yellowstone
park, through Red Lodge, Cooke
City and Tower Falls, was still I'M
der construction, both inside and
outside the park, and that tourists
were given no encouragement to
travel the new route this year, the
Cooke entranceway contributed
4,315 visitors to the all-time travel
record established for the national
playground during the season just
closed, figures of Superintendent
Roger w. Toll revealed this week.
In attracting the greatest num-
Der of visitors for any n season
during the history of Yellowstone
park, the travel record surpassed
by 70 the number of visitors who
entered the park during the prede-
preston year of 1929. This years
grand total vas recorded at $780, IT'S
visitors and compares with the
lbl,93o persons visiting the park IN
1888 and the 260,697 visitors dur
ing the record year of 1929. A Sc
we're equinoctial storm during the
last week of the 1884 travel year
had a noticeable influence toward
decreasing the final travel figures,
it was stated.
Those entering by automobile
during the past season totaled
205,325, an increase of 23,359 over
the number using this mode of
travel in 1929. AS compared with
1929, however, a decrease of "a, 1894
was noted in those using rail trav-
ell, only 14,O85 visitors coming to
the park this year by train. 1884
preseason visitors numbered ST.
056 persons, the opening dates for
all entrances being about three
weeks earlier than usual this year,
The Cody, Wyo., entrance to the
park led in automobile travel this
year with a total Of 77,167 visitors

Another step in the governments
conservation policy designed to
benefit every section was carried
out a few days ago as two soil
specialists from the United States
department of interior, Pacific
northwest erosion control project
at Pullman, Wash, completed a
reconnaissance erosion survey OF
Carbon county. These men had
special training in soil erosion con-
troll in connection with the 100000
acre project in the Pullman-Mo
COW region.
Present plans of the interior de-
partment include making such a
survey of all agricultural counties
in Idaho, Washington, Oregon and
Montana. 1t is possible that Wyo-
ming and Utah will also be in
cluded. Field men spend from sew
eral days to two weeks in each
county, depending upon the time
necessary to gather the necessary
information, which is in turn
checked and filed so as to be made
available.
The reconnaissance work in this
county had a three-fold purpose:
~ To get a complete picture of
the kinds of erosion in this area.
Farming, grazing and timbered
areas, with special emphasis on the
farming lands, were studied. ~
To form an estimate of probable
future erosion, judging by present
conditions and present utilization
of the land 90 To learn what
control measures a be used to
the best advantage in this locality.
The value of these surveys, such
as the one conducted in Carbon
county, is contained in a press
bulletin from the department of
interior soil erosion service at
Pullman. Following are excerpts
from this bulletin:
"While it is true that the SER
iousness of the erosion problem
may vary in different sections, we
must not lose sight of the fact that
this vital problem, demanding i'm
mediate attention, exists in some
degree in every section of the coun-
try. Thus, while your level valley
land may not be eroding, it may
be that your neighbor who farms
! the slopes adjacent is sending you,

without his compliments, several
tons of fertile topsoil each season.
In most instances you do not well
come this layer of silt which covers
your meadow lands, your highways
and machinery.
Erosion by water may be
caused by rainfall or by melting
snow. In either case the farmer
is vitality concerned with reducing
the run-off since soil moisture is
recognized as being a limiting fac
tor in crop production. Not only is
this true but we must also realize
that only by reduction of run-off
will floods be stopped and erosion
be checked. Thus, the erosion con-
troll program includes not only d.
rect erosion control but reducing
floods, decreasing highway up
keep raising the water table, in
creasing yields, profits, and pres
ent and future land values.
"This erosion may be of four
types: (1) Sheet washing which
go on practically unnoticed is most
damaging as it rapidly removes the
productive topsoil from the slopes
and ridges. (2) A combination of
sheet washing and outlying which
is much more noticeable and is the
beginning of the third stage. 90
Gullying-a damaging, spectacular
type of erosion caused by excess
i've run-off and lack of vegetation.
(4) Soil slips and land slides APP
pearing on steep slopes. In addi-
ton to this list we must add the
problem of wind erosion resulting
in soil blow and excessive drifting.
every farmer realizes that he
is not concerned so much with the
yield al he is with the profit and
loss on the deal. When the farms
become riddled with gullies and
clay ridges require fertilizer, the
farming costs increase and the net
return must necessarily decrease.
If the farmers of the United States
are to reap the largest net returns,
now and in the future, their pro-
gram must change from one of
soil mining to one of soil conser-
walton. Only by an immediate re-
alization of the problem and by the
cooperation Of every citizen can
we keep the United States from
following in the footsteps of China
as a land of floods and famines."

GRAIN FUTURES
DROP FRACTIONS
IN DULL TRADE
Further Advance in Prices
Might Create Buying,
Is Belief.
BY HARTMAN w. NICHOLS
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO. Jan. 31.-There was
no new impetus today and grain
prices reacted fractions at the OPEN
ing of the Board of Trade today.
Wheat deliveries were \ 10 q cent
lower, corn was off \ to Il cent
and oats were & to q cent off.
Stocks were unchanged to a shade
lower, cotton dipped rather sharply
and the weather conditions in the
southwest wheat belt remained un-
changed.
Wheat traders were bit puzzled
over the market. wondering whether
profit-taking would prove disturb
ing until the market digests the
wheat, or whether the fact that a
number of longs are out of their
grain would furnish a potential buy
ing psychology.
Further advance in prices, it was
believed, might create a desire
among those sellers to get back
their wheat. Local sales of wheat
to outside mills were the largest in
some time and orders came from
widely distributed sections.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3l.-Moderate
profit taking at the opening on the
Stock Exchange today brought ir-
regularity into the list, although
changes were small in all sections.
Volume continued heavy.
Among the issues to register small
losses were Westinghouse Electric,
international Telephone, Interna-
tional Nickel, Case, and National
Distillers. A stable list held at the
previous close, including Chrysler,
Pure Oil, North American and
Sears-R oebuck.
Union Pacific gained a point at
1913 in firm railroad group. New
York Central firmed Il to 405s on
1000 shares. Utilities generally were
higher. Gold mining issues improved
as did chemicals. Auburn was up
point at 5334 in the motor divi-
sion, but others of that group held
around the previous close.
InaSmuch as the United States
Steel Corporation report and divi-
dend action were in line with ex-
pectations, they had no effect on
the common stock, which opened at
STA, off Is, on 1000 shares. The
Steel Corporation declared a divi-
dend of so cents a share on the 7
per cent cumulative preferred stock,
the same as in the preceding four
years, and reported a deficit one
half of that of 1882.
The general market was active in
the early dealings, with prices ir-
regular. Tickers were behind.
Business news was favorable. The
first twelve railroads to report for
the week ended Jan. 81 had car
loadings 1863 per cent above the
corresponding week of 1888. Elec-
tricity output rose SO per cent above
1888, against percentage gain of
9.5 per cent in the preceding week.
