POWER RIVALS
BURY RATCHET
FOR FARLEY
BY EARL GOODWIN

The lion and the lamb surely will
lie down together next week when
the advocates and enemies Of pub
licly owned power come together
in a vast conference here-a con-
ference with the thunderous title
Of Third World Power Conference
and Second Congress on Large
Dams.
Delegates are arriving here from
all over the world, many being the
leaders in science or engineering
in their own countries. Many
come from foreign countries where
electric power is almost entirely
owned by the government; others
come from lands where it is al
most entirely privately owned. In
the case of the United States, the
private ownership crowd meets
with the public ownership crowd,
and together, with the help of the
Government, they all take part in
being hosts for the delegates.
Propaganda Aplenty
There will be plenty of propa-
ganda for one side or the other;
but the idea is that nobody will
lift the other fellows scalp, and
it is understood there are to be
no resolutions advocating or con-
demning one policy or the other.
However, each side will have its
advocates.
For instance, there IS a story
going around that the question
of the PaSsamaquoddy dam may
be injected into some of the dis
cuSSionS. With the elections in
Maine centering around that
point to some extent-such a dis
cussion might bring sparks. Con-
siderable interest is being shown
as to what President Roosevelt
will have to say when he addresses
the conference Friday next.
Look to President
The President is looked upon by
leaders of the utility world as
their greatest political foe; and
at the close of his address he is
to press a key which will start
the operations of the huge Boul-
der Dam, largest of its kind and
designed to FURNISH power and
water through Government opera
ton to the people of vast South
west area.
The President, when he talks,
will be speaking to some of the
New York power magnates with
whom ne has been fencing for
years over the st. Lawrence River
seaway and the questions relating
to public or private ownership OF
the power to be generated there.
Advance publicity from the con-
ference apparently has sought to
convey the idea that the discus
sions would be limited to techni-
cal matters, but this idea fades
with the knowledge that already
there seems to be staged a battle
royal over the Tennessee Valley
Authority and the Governments
development of the Tennessee
River Valley.
Assault on iva
One of the leaders of the pri-
vately owned utility field will as
sault the IVA with everything he
has-Harrison G. Roby. Of New
York. Mr.. Roby believes Govern
ment develops power in a wasteful
manner, and he has no use for
the high dams in the Tennessee
River, which he says cost four
times as much as Army engineers
estimated to improve the river for
navigation with low dams. He
will be challenged by the head
man at IVA, Chairman Morgan.
It is all under the head Of good
clean fun, but there isn't much
doubt that the power boys will
do what they can to assist the
Republican campaign along
either a little technical advice on
power-to say nothing of large

With the return Of fair weather,
a more than fair sized audience
greeted DR.. Nikolai Sokoloff, guest
conductor of the Washington
Summer Concerts Orchestra, and
the eminent violinist, Louis Per
singer, last night at the Water
Gate.
The highlight of the first part
Of the program was Schubert'S
Unfinished Symphony" which
followed the lighter strains of the
overture to "NIignon" CThomas).
DR.. Sokoloff presented this we'll
known symphony with a loving
care and feeling as if he had
meditated upon it so thoroughly
that it had become a natural
vehicle for expressing his oneness
with the composers thoughts.
The marvellous succession of
sweet melodies that flow through
the first movement, most promi-
nent Of which is the most beauti-
full violoncello song, charmed the
listeners to an immediate response
at the end of the movement. The
spell of Schubert'S music gathered
force with the opening phrases of
the second movement, through
difficult modulationS that were
so skillfully accomplished as to
seem perfectly natural, the articu-
late beauty reached a brave eli
max near the end and then faded
away into silence. Would that an
audience should show it's profound
appreciation by remaining silent
at the end of such moving music!
On the contrary, the audience
burst forth into Salvos of applause
which were finally silenced when
DR.. Sokoloff gave the signal to
start the "Minuet" (Roemheld).
This short number has a pleasing
rhythm and a melodic line that
has a hint of modernism which
was greatly enjoyed by the audi
tors. Dvorak'S "Slavonic Dance in
A Flat" was used to close the first
part Of the program with lively
tunes and rhythmS.
Louis Persinger, renowned VIC
liniSt and pedagogue, was greeted
with an ovation that lasted many

Glasgow Suffers Loss OF
Organizer

Glasgow - Brother Ronald Venue,
President of Local Union No. 962,
Brotherhood Of Painters, Decorators
and Paperhangers of Glasgow, Mon
tana, and District Organizer for the
American Federation of Labor for
the City of Glasgow and vicinity,
died today in st. Johns Hospital of
Helena, Montana, at the age of 35.
Brother Venue, was a pioneer or

organized the Painters Union and a
Federal Union at Fort Peck project.
He was also instrumental in organ
izing the Musicians Union and the
Valley County Trades and Labor
Council of which he was the first
president and was secretary of that
body at the time of his death.
Brother Venues loss will be great
ly felt by organized labor through

Stale Insurance Is
Opposed By Big
Insurance Chains

The referendum measure number
thirty seven is attracting more and
more attention as election time draws
near. School Boards and county
commissioners especially are being
circularized in literature opposing
this law and asking them to assist
the insurance companies to regain
the business which they have lost.
There is no doubt that the companies
and their agents have sustained a
loss. We only wonder how much
the five hundred thousand other peo-
pie in the State are interested in the
plight of the very few who enjoyed
a lucrative business at the expense
of the public. Whole reams of pap
err are covered with objections to the
fact that one Company and n
agency procured the contract for re-
insurance from the State. Nowhere
in the plaintive wall is mentioned
the fact that all other companies
were invited to bid on the business
and all but the one company refus-
ed to enter a bid. The State Board
of Examiners were forced to deal
with the one company who would
take the business. AT any time that
other companies, who are admitted

NIT a lower bid, there is no doubt
that the Board of Examiners would

business?

Improved World EtO-
nomit Condition Resi-
ing On Armaments.
Federated Press

PHILADELPHIA - (FP) I'm
proved world economics conditions
rest unquestionably on the bloody
base of greatly increased traffic in
the raw materials needed for the
manufacture of ornaments.
Figures recently released by the
League of Nations and summarized
bv the Init. Federation of Trade In
ions show that while world foreign
trade improved only 2 per cent to 3
per cent in 1885 over 1884, world
trade in war materials increased at
least 40 to so per cent.
World production of iron, for in
stance, increased 17.2 per cent in
1885 over 1884 and 85.5 per cent over
1892. America takes first place in
increased iron production, but Ger
many ranks second. Steel produc-
ton rose 20.2 per cent in 1885 over
1884 and 94.l per cent over 1882.
! Again America and Germany are
neck and neck in the ornaments
race. Zinc shows a 1872 per cent in
crease over 1894 and 1873 per cent
over 1882. Coal shows increases of
3.4 per cent and 1873 per cent res
| pectively; oil, 8.5 per cent and 24.4
per cent.
More important than increased
production, however, is the increased
use of materials. During the depre-
ssion vast stores of all sorts of raw
materials accumulated, but in the
past year heavy purchases have been
made out of these SURPRISES. World
stores on copper decreased 20 per
cent in 1885 although the price went
up 90 per cent. The lead supply de-
creased 10 per cent while prices
climbed so per cent. Zinc produc-
ton climbed rapidly during the year,
but sales at a Is per cent advance
consumed the increased production
and ate Is per cent into the accum-
ulated supply.
The reserve supply Of tin is prac-
tically exhausted and the demand
became so great during 1895 that the
Init. Tin Cartel increased its produc-
ton quotas to its members As pei
cent in the early part of the year
and finally 80 per cent by the end o.
1885. SURPRISES of iron and steel
practically speaking, no longer exist

The GENEhAL DIED Al DAWN
- After reading so many stories
about American aviators being fired
to bomb defenseless Chinese vii
lagos, it is refreshing, to say the least
to find the yankee hero in this thrill
ling story foiling the munitions max
ers and helping the downtrodden
peasants throw off the yoke of their
rapacious wal lord, General Yang
(Akim Tamiroff). Gary Cooper, as
the American soldier of fortune,
turns in one of the best performan-
e of his career, while Madeleine
Carroll, Tamiroff, Dudley Diggs and
the rest of a fine cast make the most
of Clifford Odets' sparkling dialogue
and Lewis M~ilestones' clever direc-
ton.

ANGSTMAN wins
LOWER FREIGHTS

Judge Albert II. Angstman, an
didate for Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court and Counsel for the
Railroad Commission, won a signal
victory for the Railroad Commission
and for the stockmen of Montana in
a recent proceeding before the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
The proceeding was instituted up
on complaint of Governor Holt and
the Railroad Commission of Mon
tana and was commenced for the
purpose of reducing freight rates on
cottonseed cake and other concen-
trated foods from south and south
west points into Montana.
The present freight rate averages
about $1,000 per ton from south and
southwest points into Montana.
After the filing of the Complaint
and after hearing held before Com
missioner Aitchison of the Inter
state Commerce Commission at Hell
ena on September LIST and End, at
which stockmen and others gave tes-
timony, including Governor Holt,
Senator Murray and Senator Wheel
er, the rail carriers, because of the
strong showing made, offered a re-
duetion of 80 l-3 per cent of the pre-
sent rate which was accepted by the
Commission. This reduced rate will
continue until December 81, 1886.
This will operate to save about 81
per ton of each ton of cottonseed
cake shipped into Montana from
points of origin in the south and the
southwest and it is estimated will
save to the stockmen of Montana
about $1,000 600 between now and
January l, 1887.
This reduction in freight rates will
help to make it possible for Stock
men of Montana to save most Of their
foundation herds.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, July 8. - Plans to bring live rattler to court to enact with an artificial foot the snake torture which the state alleges preceded the death by drowning ot Mrs. Mary Busch James were an nounced today by attorneys for the defendant.
 The woman's husband, Robert James, is charged with staying her by allowing rattlesnakes to bite her foot, which he held in box of the reptiles, and that failing, drowning her in a bathtub and later placing the body face down in a fish pond to make the death look accidental Attorneys said that the re-enact- ment will be to determine whether Charles Hope, who confessed the tor turing of Mrs. James, was telling the truth when he said that the rattlers would strike swiftly nov ing object. They declared that snakes have bad eysight and cannot see what they are striking unless the object is still.
