of old handbills and theater programs.
The handful advertising the first edt-
ton of Dimsdale's Vigilantes, the first
book published in Montana, Is on dis
play. And there's a handful which ad-
vertised a company playing Uncle
Toms Cabin in Helena in the '8O's. By
that time the play was probably wen
known and the manager Attempted 70
give new life to the piece 6y having
and Topsy, Just how this dual role
was presented is not known but 1t
must have made a most extraordinary
performance. The play was presented
in the Sawtelle theater and the lead
ing role wa taken by Miss Genevieve
France, The handful carried the news
that this dual role is a most Won
derful characterization" The manager
also went Harriet Beecher Stowe one
better by having the play close with q
scene showing little Eva aIter mel
ascent to heaven.
The men who wrote handbillS IN the
early days loved elegant words and one
handful advertiSes a concert by Hell

What is probably the most unusual
desk ever built is the n made to
order for John T. Murphey, pioneer
Montana stockman. At first glance 1t
looks like an old-fashioned organ but
upon being opened the desk IS revealed
with a place for every kind Of business
paper and even a postoffice compart-
ment with a slot through which letters
were dropped.
Indians Behold a Negro
One of the best of Charles M. Rus
sells water-colors hangs on a wall In
the historical library and pictures an
amusing incident from the adventures
of Lewis and Clark. The painting shows
a group of Indians sitting in . lodge
examining York, Captain Clark's negro
servant. The Indians were struck with
wonder at his dark skin and according
to Clark's journal York acted in such
a manner as to make the Indians think
him even a more unusual parsonage
than he was.
Near the Russell painting hangs a
photo Of Father Anthony Ravall, the
man who came to western Montana
from Belgium to help Father DeSmet
civilize the Flathead Indians. In this
rare photo the goodness which made
this great mar beloved of all who knew
him is clearly evident in his face.

RANGE BUILDING
PAY RATES SET
GRAZING CAPACITY GOVERNS Elk,
TENT OF WORK; PARTICIPA-
TION Is VOLUNTARY

Approved bodybuilding prac-
ticeS and rates Of payment which
stockmen will receive for carry-
ing them out in the range improve
ment program during the remaind-

The practices have been approved
for Montana and 10 other western

director.
Since all practices must be performed

said.
Farrell emphasizes that the program

ton is entirely voluntary. The program

vately-controlled land and payments
will be governed by the grazing ca
pacity of each ranch.
Total payments for each ranch will
be limited to an amount equal to So
times the grazing capacity of the ranch.
For example, if the grazing capacity
of a ranch is 500 cattle, the total pay
ment may not exceed $1,000. No pay
ments will be made where any of the
practices are performed with labor,
seed or materials furnished by a fed
eral or state agency.
Practices which have been approved
for Montana n the rate of payment

are those of John Keene and another
desperate who met death and justice
at the hands of V~igilantes. Keene was
hanged to Helena's famous hangman's
tree, June 7, 1865. The shotgun owned
by handsome Henry Plummer and the
headboards from the graves of several
road agents hanged at Virginia City
may also be seen. Another relic is a
printed invitation to the hanging Of
James Martin which was held in Butte
in 1904. There is a piece of the gallows
upon which Plummer was hanged on
display and nearby lie heroic x. Beid-
ler's bandana handkerchief and cane.
The bullet which was the only clue to
the murder of John Flynn, Helena po-
liceman, may also be seen. Flynn was
shot from behind while on duty at the
Northern Pacific depot in Helena in
1910 and his killer was never ;appre-
hended.

Torrijos, which was captured late
yesterday, and the aircraft that
flew over the Alcazar promised
relief within 48 hours.
This was the signal for a re-
newed assault by the loyalistS in
Toledo, under orders of Premier
Francisco Largo Cabellero to take
the Alcazar within "a hours, no
matter what the COST"
All Attacks RepuIsed
Spraying more gasoline on the
fallen masonry, hurting incendiary
grenades and dynamite, they clam
bered repeatedly over the great
blocks Of stone, only to be re-
PEELED by machine-gun and rifle
fire cracking miraculouSly out of
choking, smoke-filled creviceS.
The unknown number of sur
vivors in the Alcazar still have
some horse meat, toasted wheat
and a radio set to tell them of their
reScuer's progress. It was felt
here, however, that capture of
Toledo by the insurgents within
48 hours was an over-optimiStic
forecast, as Toledo is well-protected
on its hilltop position, flanked by
the TaguS River, and has at least
10000 red militiamen defenders.
AS at Maqueda, airplanes were
mainly responsible for the quick
capture of Torrijos, where 80
loyalists were killed. These planes
brought good news to the Toledo
garrison, but death to the radi-
Gals in Toledo, where three BOMBS
were dropped on the AlcaZar's be-
SiegerS.
"a Miles From Capital
Without putting up any further
stiff resistance on the northern
fork of the road eastward from
Maqueda, leading to Madrid, the
loyalists have fallen back to Santa
Cruz, and the insurrectos there
are now within "a miles of the
capital.
A third inSurgent column is driv-
ing eastward from Escalon towards
Navalcarnero.
While the Madrid government
reported further successes around
Cordova, the insurgent radio at
Seville today asserted that Gen
eral Varela, military commander
at Cordova, was in command of
still a fourth column which was
being hastily organized for
march on Madrid. Every physi-
clan available in Andalusia was
called on to join the new column,
which will unite with the re-
mainder of the insurgents.
The Spanish war minister today
claimed victory over inSurgent
forces in sharp new engagement
at the Lozoya reservoir, main
source of Madrid'S water supply in
the Guardarrama region.
Loyal troops have already picked

The insurgents, according to the

Several times the insurgents got
close enough to the government
