Women Issue Special
 Edition Alaska Press

The fifth annual Juneau Woman Club special edition ot the N'as a P~ass was received here this week and it's sponsors are to be eongrat1 lated on the wealth of material pre- sented in the composite picture of all Alaska" which is found within its pages. Every article was writ ten by a woman-one who has been an integral part in the life she de picts and knows whereof she writes in definite contrast to the driYel penned by many who make the round trip to Alaska and become self-constituted authority on h e problems of the Territory.
 The first section contains some news. a little society, politics anI club news and some very fine ar ticles. among them one on Thlinget life by Mrs Wm. Paul An excel lent cut of Roberta Campbell Law son. president of the General Fed eration of Women's Clubs, and greetings to the women of Alaska appear on the first page The Special Edition goes to every Gener- al Federation officer. to the presi- dent of every state Federation in the union and to many others and advertises Alaska as no other publi- cation can.
 Candidates on Parade
 The second section Is the Govern meut section and in addition to making voters acquainted with Alaska candidates from records of the past. in the case of those who have already served and wish to serve again. or life sketches of. tho new candidates. contains m e chuekles that are worth the cost of the paper.
 The Feature section is full of it. formation mos interestingly writ teE by women in distant sections as we'll as those nearer at hand. On. can read how some women regard Matanuska and the actual facts about Homer. the place that is men toned so frequently in news print .ately. The picture of a near-tra' edy on the trail of twenty years ego by Margaret Keenan Harrais is splendidly done and the quotation from Bishop Rowe, It takes a little moral courage to change ones union suit by campfire at 60 degrees be low zero, but I prefer it 10 shiyer- ing all night" is typical of those before-the-piane days.

Ground Floor Mink
Farmers Are PrOfiting

Beaverhead's newest industry, mink
farming, has become an important
source Of revenue in the district sur
rounding Dillon, figures compiled by
mink farmers show.
A year ago, one pen of IS animals
comprised the mink population in the
entire vicinity. This winter, one farm
alone, owned and operated by H l..
Tolley and T. j. Carney, has 100 pens,
each with a female mink, while at least
four other farms Of fair size are In OPP
Grafton, owned respectively by Roy For
roster. Francis Tonrey, Chester Hale
and Ernest Nelson, all of Dillon.
In addition to these owners, operat-
ing their own farms, several Dillon men
have invested In the new industry and
have their animals taken care Of on one
Of the farms for a set fee.
Local mink owners declare that the
price of pelts, as well as that of breed
ing animals, has almost doubled dur
ing the past year and those "on the
ground floor" made substantial profit.
Silver black fox farming has been
an industry Of Importance in the Dill
lon vicinity for several years and Is
still profitably pursued.

at their hands, while the losses In
money and valuables cannot be esti-
mated. When bullion from the mines
was being carried by the stages on the
Miles City line it was not unusual To
have a special guard, or sometimes an
escort of soldiers, accompany it. The
story is told in eastern Montana of one
band of robbers that rode behind q
coach and unstrapped and carried away
with them a trunk containing several
hundred dollars worth of valuableS,
without the driver or any of his pas
sengers being aware Of their presence.
When the stage route from Billings
to Fort Benton was established over
the old LaVina trail, and from Billings
to Buffalo, Wyo., by way Of Fort Custer,
the opportunities for the bandits in
creased, as did their numbers.
The stage lines were maintained I'M
til well along in the nineties when the
building Of the Great Northern and
Burlington railroads put them out of
business. They were operated despite
the particular activity of the road
agents along their routes.
HOIdup Cut
On the old Lavina trail not far from
Billings and near the head Of Five
Mile creek after the road had swung
away from Alkah creek, was notch in
the hills known as Holdup Cut, so
named, it Is said, because it was a par
ticularly favorable spot for holdupS,
and a number of them took place there.
The road skirted along point of rock
with cliff on one side and the creek
on the other, so removing all chance for
the stage to turn around If once cor
nered. The trail then crossed the
stream and turned north.
The Billings and Benton lines first
superintendent was Walter Burke. He
was later replaced by John j. Davis.
One of the promoters of the line was
T. G.. Power, later United States sena-
tor from Montana and long one of its
leading stockmen, merchants and cap
italists. The first driver employed on
the line was a man named Hayes, but
he was followed by many others. In
1885 Wells Fargo & Co. let an express
contract to the BillingS-Benton line
and express stations were established
at Lavina, Halbert, Ubet Cottonwood,
Maiden and Fort AdaginniS. 4
Tradition has 1t that the town Of Ubet /
owes its name to Col Wilbur F. San !
ders, Montana lawyer pioneer who |
the bandits rounded up in /
Alder gulch by the Vigilantes. He and I
several others were riding on the /
stage line in that region with moroSe
and curt driver whose response to all
'emarks was a short yes or no.
Finally one of the party produced
)ottle Of liquor and proffered 1t to the
einsman with the query, Have one?"

They got wind Of the search, however
and started to leave the country, head
ing north over the Lavina trail. They
met numerous persons on the road, but
they were dressed as cowboys, rode
quietly along driving some pack horses
ahead of them, and attracted little at
tention
Stopping at Lavina, they went into a
saloon kept by Clay Jolley and asked
him to cash check on the Belle
Fourche bank. Jolley, who knew Of the
robbery and when he saw the check
suspected that these were the men who
had committed it, made a pretense of
going after change. instead he went
into his beer cellar and locked the door
behind him. The men waited for a time
and. when be failed to return, left the
saloon, mounted and rode north of
Lavina to go into camp.
There the posse which had trailed
them from Billings overlook them.
One of the outlaws horses was killed.

Two Montana Spud
Growers Raise 500
Bushels to the Acre

What is believed to be one of the
largest potato yields in the state this
year has been chalked up by two grow
ers near Whitehall in jefferson county
according to Francis Niven, county ex-
tension agent for that section.
These growers harvested approx
mately $4,000 bushels of potatoes from
So acres, an average yield of 500 bushels
per acre. One field Of 80 acres pro-
duced nearly 800 bushels per acre.
The potatoes were planted on the
Parrot bench about five miles south
east of Whitehall by F. j. Rosbach and
Glen Allen. Both men came to Mon
tana from Idaho where MIR. Rosbach
was connected with the potato inspec-
ton service in that state for is years.
Mr.. Allen was q field inspector for the
same service for the last six years.
In planting the potatoes MIR. Rosbach
and Mr.. Allen used untreated seed of
the netted gem variety and planted in
rows 40 inches apart. Idaho seed one
year from certification was used and
the seed pieces averaged about one
ounce In size. Previous TO planting the
ground was treated with phosphate at
the rate Of 125 pounds per acre.
During the growing season the pota-
toes were irrigated five times. Because
of shortage Of pickers at harvest time,
the crop was gathered with combine
which dug and sacked the potatoes in.

NeighbOr Suspected
One Of the first holdupS on the Bill
lingS- Benton line was at Holdup Cut
also known as Fifteen Mile point. After
it was perpetrated, suspicion pointed
towards William Bussey, who lived in
the neighborhood. His actions after
wards led to his tragic death at the
hands Of one Of his neighbors.
The stage was held up at the point
just as 1t came around the bend, by
a man wearing a Slicker and having a
handkerchief tied about his face. He
stepped from behind q rock and threw
his gun down on the driver just as the
stage was coming up on a landing after
having crossed Five Mile creek
Give me match" he demanded of
the driver
When the driver started to comply,
the man added: well, you might as
well throw off the mail bags. want
them, too"
The mail was thrown off. The pas
sengers we're not molested and the man
rode away with his booty.
The stage continued on to Twenty
Mile station where the horses were
changed. BuSsey was there when the
stage drove in, and it was later ascer-
tanned that he had arrived only a short
time before it.
Laughed Himself Into Suspicion
When the robbery was reported, Bus
sey manifested great interest and made
the driver repeat every detail of the
incident.

and then laughed uproariously.
