from brands owned by cattlemen Of
the region. The mill iron brand was
owned by an early cattle company.
Some of the early cowboys of this out
fit were General and William Sweeney,
Hashknife Floyd, Fred Hasty, Jay
Sheldon, Lee Biffle and D. H. Russell,
he Vermonter who married Ijkalaka
and who is known to history as 1.-The
Father of Ekalaka." Some other brands
we'll remembered by Carter county old
timers are the Three v, the cross and
anchor, the c. c., the big KIT and the
TY. Two early settlers of the Carter
county region, Charley Voss and Fred
Clark. recall that the big and famous
Converse Cattle Co. of Wyoming used
to range cattle in the Ekalaka district.
The brand of the Converse company
was OW and the foreman and part
owner was a man by the name Of Ken
ricks, who later became a senator.
Charlie Voss also remembers when
Curley Brothers and the Hole-in-the-
Wal! outlaw gang of Wyoming and
southern Montana were through Car
ter county.
There is question as to who we're the
southeastern Montana. Some ;authori-
ties believe that Chevalier De La Yer
endrye traversed the territory while on
his trip of exploration in 1742, Others
declare that Verendrye never reached
the region now included in Montana.
In 1905 Francois Laroque, agent of the
Northwestern Fur Co., traversed what
Is now Garter county and a few years
later One of John Jacob Astor's fur
hunting parties tramped through.
Teddy Wrote Of the Region
During the last two decades of the
last century Carter county was a great
range land, frequented by many early
day characters now famous. Theodore
Roosevelt often visited this region dur
ing his ranching days at Medora, N. D,
He later described his travels in south
eastern Montana in a book, The Hunt
ing Trips Of a Ranchman."
Perhaps the first of the large cattle
outfits was the Hashknife, q Texas
company, established in Montana In
1882. Hashknife headquarters were
about 80 miles southeast Of Ekalaka
and at times the ranch had IS, 1000 head
Of cattle on the range. Some Of Carter
county's earliest settlers came in as
employees Of this concern.

and built a saloon on the spot. 1t came

Screen Actor Of The
Silent Days

GREAT NECK, N. Y, July 9.
-(UP). - Thomas Meighan, 81,
stage matinee idol of pre-war days

'reeks, although he had been in
roor health for the last two years.
Just a year ago, in July, his life
was despaired of after an opera
tion at Doctors hospital, New

a month and was able to return
to his home.
With him when he died was his
wife, Frances Ring, stage star
whom he courted when they play

ed as one of the most successful

ways his closest advisor on screen
and business activities.

Pa, April 9, 1879, one of seven
children of a family of comfort
able circumstances. He was in
tended to be a doctor, but the
stage attracted him and his studies
suffered. When he was 20 years
old he got his start on the stage
with Henrietta Crosman in "Mis-
tress Nell"

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 9 (UP)
Development of a sweeping pro-
gram to improve rural life, land
usage and conservation through
systematic county planning was
urged yesterday as southern farm
leaders conferred with Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture M. L..
Wilson.
Recommendations for intelli-
gent use of fertile land. rebuild
ing of poor soil, farm rehaDilita-
ton and general Improvement Of
farming methods were submitted
to the department of agriculture
by the Southern Conference of
the County Agricultural Planning
project.
The conferences plan calls for
close articulation between nation
al and local agricultural pro-
grams, for greater "coverage' OF
agricultural problems.
81 believe we are headed in the
direction of flexibility in the ap-
plication of farm adjustment and
soil conservation so as to permit
us to apply the national program
to the individual farmer in man
ner that will meet his needs" Will
son asserted in discussing the pro-
posal.
He said "this will mean flexi-
bility in the national program and
responsibility on the part OF local
people. I"
w. L. Randolph, assistant direc-
tor of Alabama extension service,
heading the conference detectives
committee, said the committee
would carry its program forward
by appraisal of present and fu-
ture situations to determine de-
sirable changes" in all phases of
soil usage.
Committee recommendations in
cluded:
/. Building of farm-to-market
roads.
2. Extension of electric service
to farms.
8. Flood and erosion control.
a.. Coordination of existing
farm agencies.
5. Improvement of marketing
facilities. ,
6. Betterment of rural school
systems.
Individual recommendations by
conferees stressed the desirability
of teaching scientific agricultural
methods through All clubs and
kindred organizations.
Data on farm prices in Amer
lea and abroad, trend of crop
acreage, supply and demand for
farm produce, and marketing con-
ditions would be provided under
plans submitted by a committee
headed by J. H. Mcleod, chief of
farm management department OF
Tennessee Extension Service.
Data submitted at the confer
ence here will be tabulated with
that gathered in three other re-
gional conferences and submitted
to the agricultural department for
compiling into a basis for possible
change in the federal farm pro-
gram.

MIDDLETOWN, Conn, July 9.
(UP).-Tear gas was rushed into
the Remington-Rand strike area
last night as Gov. Wilbur L. Cross
cut his vacation short to intervene
in the crisis.
Orders went out to more than
100 state and local police officers
to club strikers who attempted to
modest workers leaving the plant,
where a strike has been in prog
ress for more than six weeks.
Meantime, James X. Rand, Jr.,
president of the far-flung type
writer manufacturing empire, de-
clared he would have no dealings
with labor organizations in his
plant. Neither, he said, would ne
recognize the authority of the Ma
tional Labor Relations board to
take up union complaints against
his branch at Buffalo, N. Y.
Hurting defiance at the unions
which have either halted or i'm
paired operations at some of his
branch plants, Rand challenged:
81 will continue to operate the
plants on an open shop basis. l
will close them down completely
rather than give in TO the union.
But | don't believe that will be
necessary. Of the eight plants
now operating, six of them are
producing at 95 per cent capacity,
or better"
Rand said he would absolutely
refuse to recognize the authority"
of the National Labor Relations
board at Buffalo. "The constitu-
tionality of the act creating the
Regional Labor board has been
undermined by the Guffey coal
decision" he said.
Even as he spoke, Gov. Cross
hurried back to the state capitol
in Hartford from his New Hamp-
shire summer home. He was APP
prised of the Middletown situation
by Philip Hewes, his executive
secretary, and State Police Com
missioner Anthony Sunderland.
