Man Downer for hours each day.
Sometimes long intervals would |
pass without a word being ex-
changed. Again, she would go to
him abruptly with some question and
her manner would betray her pro-
found respect for his judgment. He
had said that he could do many
things in and about the woods; she
learned the truth of his statement.
Intelligent as she was, we'll as she
had been trained by her far-sighted
father, flaws had developed in her
procedure, errors in judgment had
gone undetected.
Young did not force his opinions,
did not offer advice. But when she
brought matters to his attention
in which he discovered flaws he
pointed these out.
Daily he assumed stature, and i'm,
portance to her undertaking.

further.

The dog watched her prepare to
depart.
"Want to go, Tip?" Young asked.
The dog wagged an affirmative. "All

founded with Nan he went, close to
other heels for the first time since
puppyhood.
1t became little game between
the three. Whenever Nan went
out Tip gave evidence of wanting
to go, but always he awaited
Young's order before following. And
once, when the girl had crossed to
the Landing to send a telegram and
was urgently wanted by telephone,
Kerry scrawled note, gave it to
the dog and told him to find Nan.
He did, after much running here
and there and snuffling at the
ground, and it would have been diff
cult to determine which was the
more pleased, girl or dog.

There are bass and other fish ga

Tod West. The name struck tenn

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-CUNS)-Ef-
forts to line up railroad men in oppo-
sition TO the movement for industrial
organization of the mass-production
industries are not meeting with much
success in Kansas City, according to
L. H. Turner, chairman of the -Four
Transportation Brotherhoods and Aux
iliaries Association Of the Greater
Kansas Cities.
In a letter to John L. Lewis, presi-
dent OF the United Mine Workers and
chairman OF the Committee for Indus

1T is my wish as we'll as that of the
members OF my organization to ex-
tend to you our whole-hearted applause
for your fearless and out-spoken stand
for industrial unionism.
I'VE wish to have you know we are
100 per cent behind this move and
yourself. Like yourself, we are con-
WINGED it is the only salvation for
American unionism. We feel that too
much time in recognizing this most
important change has already been
lost"
Besides being chairman Of the Asso-
citation, Turner writes as a member

Railroad Trainmen and an active
unionist for some rs years.

Townsend Club Is
Favored With Some
Prominent Speakers

Townsend Club No. 5. one OF Butte.
latest clubs to organize, is growing
rapidly and judging from the packed
audience that filled Judge Downey',
court room in the county court house
March p, new quarters will have to be
sought as the membership has more
than doubled in its two weeks of exis-
tence. This, no doubt, is due to the
fact that Harrison J. Freebourn or
ganized this club which counts among
its members many professional people.
In a clean-cut fashion he explained SO
thoroughly the Townsend Plan that
those fortunate enough to hear his elo-
quent address not only became firm
believers in the plan, but ardent work
ers for this worthy cause, In his mas
terly way he led his audience to firmly
believe the Townsend Plan, the only
permanent national cure for the de-
preston and its realization a Cod
send TO both the aged and youth OF our
country-regardless of the fact that
the moneyed powers would by their
false propaganda have you believe
otherwise.
Mr.. Freebourn's sincerity and untir-
ing efforts in promoting and working
Tor any movement that will benefit
the working people has endeared him
to all who believe in fair play, This
is attested to by the growing member
ships in the Townsend Clubs through
out the state where Mr., Freebourn
speaks. 1t is generally conceded that
he is one OF the best speakers in the
country on the Townsend Plan, He
was a delegate TO the state convention
and was also chosen as a delegate to
the national convention held in Chi
cago.
Following Mr.. Freebourn's inspiring
talk, a very delightful program con
tinued. Mr.. NJ. J. Doepher gave an in
teresting talk on Townsendism and the
Business Man. In an able manner he
convinced his audience that the Town
send Plan is the most practical pro-
posal ever offered to any people.
Arthur Chappelle played an accor-
dion solo that brought round after
round OF applause.
Mr.. w. w. Frame addressed the club
on the merits OF the Townsend Plan
experimenting the speech with rare
bits OF comedy.
Miss Georgia Angel delighted her
hearers with her rendition on the piano
Of Rondo Capricciso, by Mendelssohn
much applause She played Coun-
try Gardens by Granger.
Ernest -Hardcastel gave a very inter
esting talk on his travels throughout
the state and the growth Of the Town
send Clubs.
Mr. James Mackenzie, organizer OF
Clubs in the First Congressional Dis
Of Montana, was the last speaker.
He added much pep to the program by
meeting humor here and there in his
speech concerning mis-statements
made in newspapers and magazines
.oncerning the Townsend Plan.
The Club meets again April 8, in
Judge Downey's court room, under the
ible supervision OF the following Of
icers. President, Paul Cannon; Vice
President, Mary Hennessy; Secretary,
Mary Hogan Treasurer, Carl Spillum.
A cordial invitation is extended to all
interested in the Townsend
Plan to attend the next meeting and
,ecome members.

Montana Bureau Of Mines and Cecil
ogy, DR.. Francis A. Thomson, director,
has just issued the first Directory Of
Montana Mining Properties" which
was compiled in cooperation with the
Mining Association of Montana, most
Of the compilation being under the d.
r%ection of Frederick c. Gilbert, secre-
tary Of the last named organization.
The directory covers information on
$500 mining companies, giving anne
OF officers, equipment, etc. Being the
first directory of its kind ever issued in
this state, it is, of course, not as COM
plete as will be the next edition, and
the editions to follow. The compilers
eXerted great efforts to get informa-
ton from the various companies, but a
great many Of these companies did not
reply to the QUESTIONABLE sent to them
or gave only meagre information. The
booklet fills a long felt want and is
valuable to anyone interested in Mon
tana mining. In the introduction it is
stated that Montana, since 1862, has
produced a total Of $2,677,000,0W in
metallic wealth, Of which about $5ls,-
600 was produced outside of the Butte
district. The average yearly output OF
metals in Montana is valued at about
$55,00O,000. The directory is known as
Memoir No. Is" and copies of same
may be had until the issue is exhausted,
for IS cents each, by applying to the
Bureau OF Mines and Geology, Butte,
Montana.
