Montana took on new life. The meI
had similar ideas about breeding
/ good sires and mares.
The ranch prospered for many years
! It accumulated much land and the
annual income Of the firm from live
stock sales frequently reached 1000
or more. FARRELL 81 Varney sold horses
to the government for army purposes
: Tor many years and won from army
officers the commendation that the AMI
mails purchased from the VIZ ranch
were the best stock the army had ever
had. 1t was claimed that the VI
horses could stand more grief and give
more service than any other stock that
ever bore the US brand.
The saddle horses used on the VT
ranch itself could make 100 miles from
sun to sun and cover the trail home
the next day.
Butte furnished a market for their
heavier horses, purchased by freight
ers and ore haulers. Eastern Montana
cattle ranches came to the VT to obtain
saddle stock for their cavvies, and the
VT horses were considered tough and
wise. There was good market in
North Dakota for VT horses, both in
the cattle country and the newly opened
agricultural regions.
Market Faded; Ranch Sold
Finally the horse business went to
the dogs. The best animals on western
farms were sold for 2 song. Farrell &
Varney we're forced to quit. At that
time the firm had 5000 head Of horses
They we're sold at prices ranging from
81 to SO head. That was In the mid
die nineties. Two years later horses
were bringing from $50 to $50 a head
and being shipped to South Africa for
use In the Boer war, while bigger and
better ones were In demand in the
southwest where farming was under
going rapid development.
The old VT ranch passed into the
hands Of John B. welcome of Ana
conda and after his death was pur-
chased by the Hodgens Brothers Of
Butte. Its purpose was changed. Instead
OF furnishing range for thousands of
head Of horses, 1t was put to raising
grain and alfalfa. A 12-mile irrigatinq
ditch that carried q river of water to
formerly Semi-arid benches, trans
formed them into amazingly productive
acres.
varney died In Virginia City few
years after the firm went out OF blla1-
he resided for many years.
Thus passed Montana's largest 7 ex-
elusive horse ranch.
During the past few years condition
similar to that which was responsible |
for the VII brand going out OF business |
has existed. Tractors and automobiles i
displaced the horse. Comparatively few /

In Days of Big Horse Ranches, Varney and Farrell
Led Field, Ranging 5000 Head Over the Foothills

When people refer TO Montana as
q livestock state, they usually think
I'm terms Of cattle and sheep. But
che breeding Of horses on a COM
mercial scale has been carried on
In years past. Montana horse
ranchers have sold thousands Of
animals 20 the United States array
IN years gone by. Montana bron-
chos were sold through the states
Of the middlewest by the hundred,
TO pull the plOws OF corn belt
farmers.
Montana cattle and sheep ranchers
who did not care TO engage in horse
raising themselves, but who had use
Tor a large number OF horses, furnished
q strong home market. During the
Boer war in South Africa hundreds OF
Montana range bred animals were
shipped to that country for army use
One Of the largest horse ranches
that Montana has ever had was the
old VI ranch IN Madison county. 1t
was owned by two men, horsemen both,
who came to Alder gulch during the
gold mining boom Of the early sixties
One Of them started a livery stable in
Virginia City upon his arrival The
other established a custom horse-herd

and to be delivered to them upon re-
quest.
5000 Horses On Range
These men, T. j. Farrell and o. b.
Varney, after they had become partners
and at the height of their prosperity
had more than 5000 horses on the
range bearing the VT brand. Their
mark was known all over southwestern
Montana and in every big eastern
horse market. Cow horses bearing the
VI brand could be found upon al
most every range in the west.
Varney, a relative Of Harriet Beech
er Stowe, author of Uncle Toms Cab
in" was from Massachusetts,.
Farrell, a native of Ireland, was
three years old when his parents immi-
grated to America, and grew to man
hood in Illinois. He was a boyhood
chum Of the late Gen. Charles S. War
rem, noted Butte character Of early
days, and police judge in that city for
many years.
Farrell, tired Of farm life, ran away
from home and went to St. Louis,
spending several years working at the
horse market there. He learned the
horse business so thoroughly that he
was considered one of the shrewdest

STUDENTS TO HEAR
ORIENT OBSERVER
Grover Clark to Speak.
Perg|er Accuses Nazis
of Expansion Aims.

Contacts between Eastern and
Western Hemispheres will be de-
scribed Monday before University of
Maryland students, who last week
heard DR.. Charles Pergler. former
C1echoslovakian diplomat, discuss
the possibilities of another world
catastrophe.
The speaker Monday will be Grover
Clark, author of numerous books on
the Far East and at present associate
editor OF the American Observer.
Addressing the Summer student
body Thursday, Dr. Pergler, now dean
OF the law department of National
University, declared that German am
bitions in Central Europe constitute
a serious but little understood threat
to the peace OF the world.
CzechosIovakia Held Target.
German propaganda and diplomacy,
which usually prepares the way for
forcible measures, he said, are aimed
at the domination if not destruction of
Czechoslovakia.
Stating that CZechoslovakia, being
In the very heart of Europe and as an
independent state, stands as an OBJ
stacle to German expansion eastward,
Dr. Pergler added.
Should Czechoslovakia be con-
trolled by Germany, that would of
itself very materially enhance Ger
man might and would provide strong
base for a further march of the Ger
mans toward Eastern Europe, particu-
larly against Russia"
Two Charges Advanced.
He said Germany is making two
main charges against Czechoslovakia
to gain the good will of the Western
world while Hitler seeks to strengthen
his position in central Europe. The
first charge, he said, is that the Ger
man minority in Czechoslovakia is
being mistreated, and the other is
that Czechoslovakia has become an
advance guard of communism.
The speaker denied both these
charges, asserting that the German
minority has been very we'll treated,
particularly in the field of education,
and declaring that the people of
Czechoslovakia are a thrifty, hard
working race, whose every instinct is
opposed to communism.

No Fun :. Actually Figuring Z. S.

wASHNGTON-No end of people and or
ganizationS have been telling the State Depart
ment and the White House what they ought to
be doing in the current japanese warfare against
China
But figuring out what to do and what not
to do is no fun at all You can only say with
certainty that the American neutrality act gives
the President a tremendous amount OF dlScre-
ton and that its spirit is being violated by
failure of Rooevelt to invoke its provisions.
The President is pro-Chinese if one is to
believe those who best know his views. He hates
TO think that Japan may conquer China. Appll-
cation of the neutrality act. he thinks, would
handicap China the victim and thus aid Japan

mean good for the United States. he might

and neglected to indicate this governments dis

At the same time there is no valid reason for
supporting that Roosevelt is not as anxious or
will not eventually go as far as would the neu-
trality acts promoters to keep us out of war.
The thing that stands out is the enormous
amount of discretion which he demanded and
which Congress gave him in this act. He needn't

What Other
Editors Say
THANK HEAVENS, MERRIAM
HAD FAITH IN OWN HEART,
The Sacramento Union


William zirbes, who was to have
hanged at San Quentin yesterday
for murder, is alive today and will
be alive tomorrow and for many
years to come His life he owes to a
sister who loved him, had faith in
him, who believed him innocent
when the rest of society, including
probably the governor who COM
muted his death sentence, believed
him guilty.
But even that admirable sisters
profound faith would have availed
nothing had not California's Gov
ernor Merriam been kindly, toll
Grant man with the human judg-
ment to refuse the state the right
to legally murder a person whose
guilt had not been proved beyond
the shadow of doubt.
Months after the trial two wit
nesses who identified Zirbes at the
scene of the murder admitted they
were not positive of that identifica-
ton. A reasonable doubt as to Zir-
bes' guilt arose and the governor
acted-acted in the light of the
new evidence and his own convic-
tionS. To realize the true social
value of Merriam's action, contrast
it with the course taken by the
governor Of Illinois in a similar
case recently.
After conviction and the death
sentence, reasonable doubt arose
as to the justice of the sentence.
Gov. Henry Homer, instead of obey
ing the legal rule of action in case
of reasonable doubt, called for
test by "lie detector", a machine
recently invented by a professor
at Northwestern university. If the
victims pulse accelerated, or some
such silly thing, when asked if he
was guilty Of murder, the truth
of guilt was presumed to have been
determined, according to the inven-
tor of the pseudo-scientific instru-
ment. Under the emotional stress
of the test of course, the prisoners
reaction indicated his guilt. Under
the same conditions, so too, pro-
badly, would Horner's had he been
subjected to the test.
How Horner, a college, trained
man. who should know that half
of the hard and fast laws of physi-
ology, psychology, sociology and
economics that were taught in his
day have now been disproved,
could have faith in an unproven
gadget is beyond the ken, even, OF
those persons who still believe the
state has the legal right to COM
nit murder. Thank heavens that
this state has governor who still
trusts his own heart and head. IT,
as zirbes' sister contends, her bro
| ther is innocent. he at least will be
alive when and if the proof arrives.

How to Get the Most from the Days News

direct and work relief in the area

the same purposes in March, 1888,
Another story tells of congress
sional alarms that new demands
by World War veterans may saddle
the nation with system of PEN
sions that would cost an estimated
20 billion dollars by 1896. This, on
top of the 12-billion- dollar sharS6
already allotted to veterans out 4
the 60-billion- dollar total cost Of
the war to the nation to date.
The third item recorded the
statement, by an official of the Ma
tional Economy League, that for
the last seven years the govern
nent has been spending two dol
lars for every dollar income. 1t was
predicted that unless the spending
pace is greatly reduced, the future
will bring even greater deficits.

Taken altogether, these items
stimulate some vital questions. Why,
if employment conditions are back
to normal, must relief be more ex-
pensive? Why, if veterans just last
year were given millions in bonus
should they need more now, And
just how do these first two situa-
tons bear on the disastrous two
to-one public spending policy?
BY thinking these problems thru
and forming an opinion, one way
or another, the newspaper reader
not only is getting the most out of
the news, but he is also performing
one of his important duties as a
citizen-that of taking a healthy
interest in what is going on around
him. And, simple though it sounds,
that is making history.
