Accident Reports
Show Strange
Situation
The Better the Driving
Conditions, the More
Frequent the Smashup

If you are young, used to driving
a car, are running at q moderate
rate of speed on a straight concrete
highway, with no Instructions, along
about five o'clock in the afternoon
look out for an accident!
Of the 1892 accidents reported by
the state for the month of Novem-
Der last year, there were the con-
ditions under which most of the ac-
cidents happened.
BY far the largest number of ac-
cidents involved side-swiped an
other car; the accidents mostly oc-
CURED on city streets, between in
tersections in the business district
and on straight roads. The only
unfavorable condition was that
about fifty percent more accidents
occurred during rain than when it
was clear, and most of them occur
red in daylight.
With more than a third more
than the next hour, the accidents
occurred between five and six in
the evening, with the hour just
previous accounting for the next
largest number. This period, of
course, is that of the heaviest traf-
fic in most cities. Saturday sees
more accidents than any other day
of the week, with the other six run
ming almost equal as to number.
Peculiarly enough almost all the
cars involved in the above listed &C
cidents were going straight ahead
OF the 1867 accidents listed 1881
were apparently normal humans
while but 80 appeared to be under
the influence of liquor. Passenger
cars accounted for nearly all the &C
cidents. less than ten percent being
commercial vehicles.
Drivers between the ages Of 1s
and "a were involved in twice as
many accidents as those of any 9TH
er age, except that between Is and
80, which topped the list. Strange
to relate, the more experience the
drivers had, the more frequent were
the accidents. those having Is years
or more experience accounting fol
third of the accidents.
Only one percent Of the accidents
occurred when the cars had been
travelling at q speed of 60 miles OF
more just prior to the accident
xr,I,i1o v,,oro tton thousand claim.
ed they were travelling at 10 to Is
miles per hour.
Virtually none Of the accidents
were caused by instructions to view
orto the roadway in the accidents
reported. Twelve of the above list
were reported from Benton county
with nearly 1900 Of the list COM
ing from King county.

MOTHER NATURE
IS MAKING AMENDS
FOR DROUTH YEARS

An over-generous Mother Nature
sought this week to make amends
for her omissions in the recent
drouth years in Montana, by delug-,
ing the countryside with rains in
such abundance as to wash away
homes. bridges and human lives.
Following a train disaster on the
Milwaukee near Miles City, owing
to sudden cloudburst there were
cloudbursts throughout eastern Mon
tana, including one at Havre where
small stream not large enough
to carry sewage in normal times.
became river half a. mile wide.
Nine persons in the lowlands lost
their lives. Train service through
nut northern Montana was crippled
and main line trains on ; the Great
Northern were delayed on Thursday
and Friday. gs
Thus far none of the cloudbursts
has hit an oil field but there Is no
shortage of water, as in previous
years. in any field as all reservoirs
are filled to overflow, from the
steady downpour OF radn Of the
past several weeks. There is so
much moisture in the ground that
a bumper wheat crop is virtually
assured throughout eastern Mon
tana.

BULLETIN NO. "a

Reducing this edaeaffon income
to a dollars and cents basis shows
one graphicly how dependent are
the schools upon the oil and gas
industry. Fred Benion of the Mon
tana Taxpayers Association esti-
mates that the state derived school
funds from the industry to the a.
mount Of s352.92O last year. Every
county IN the. state received its
share Of the above fund. Therefore
when a tankfuil of Montana gaso-
line is purchased every school child
in the state is benefited. Mr.. Benion
estimates that for nearly 1000
high school students and for near.
ly 1000 grade school students the
entire cost of education is born by
Montana's gas and oil Industry.
1t zig obvious Stherefore, that all
who are interested in better educa-
ton for Montana 'stchfldren must be
interested in the development of
the states petroleum industry. Mon
tana's new and modern refineries
are making a good product I'M
surpassed anywhere. Give your au-
tOmobile and your children
break" by buying Gasoline Made
from Montana crude.

A. L. Meadows was reported to
have sold his half interest in the
21.51 acre George w. Eaton lease,

Total consideration was 100000,

from S24 to $40 per ton. Fifty
ton cars of this ore met around
500. The Ore--is easy to mime
and would probably produce a car
load a day, were large operations
thought desirable.
There is evidence that there are
many more veins like that at the
Tiger mine and back of the Grove
store This high grade ore, which
is comparable with the bonanza
strikes of early-day Neihart, lays
midway between and parallel to
two 4OO-foot tunnels, driven in the
early days.
This vein is part of a miner
allied belt one and one-half miles
long, north and south and nearly
as wide, east and west. r.. w.
Wilson, is operating on the north
end of the where it is about a half
mile wide. The intrusional granite
disappears for about one mile and
then reappears and continues on to
Neihart. The principal north-and-
south vein is known as the Liberty
vein.
There is no confirmation for re-
ports that the Block T mine will
resume work during the present
year. Only a Waterman is now en-
ployed although preparations we're
made last year to resume work in
the silver-lead property.

WINS IN Us. SUPREME COURT
Hale Case Is
Ninth Victory
for the Assn

Washington. d. C. April 15]|
Joe Hale, a young Negro boy OF
nineteen, had his conviction on a.
charge of murder set aside by the
United States supreme court here
April Il, on the ground that
McCraeken county, Ky. in which.
he was convicted, has SUBSTANTIALLY.
barred Negroes from jury ~seryiee'
for more than fifty years.
The case argued before the SUI
preme court, MARCH %, by CFSrles
II. Houston. special council of the
NAACP, and Leon A. Ransom.
The opinion Of the high court
was unanimous. This is The second
case involving Negroes in which
Justice Hugo Black has joined in
a favorable decision. The first case
involved picketing by the New Ne
gro Allianse, Of Washington, ID. G..
Justice Black concurred in the
opinion there that Negroes had the
rig to picket und r certain cir
cum5tances in an effort to get Jobs.
Hale's case, like many which
come to the NAACP, was not
turned over to the Association until
time came to appeal to the sup
rene court. The NAACP entered
the case at the request of the Pad
ucah, Kentuky Colored Civic Lea
que. Hale is alleged to have killed
a white mar in Padueah, in August
1886.
In his argument to the supreme
court on March %, Mr.. Houston.
cited an affidavit showing that
the population of McCraken county
was approximately $4,000, of which
5000 were Negroes; that there
we're approxomitely 5000 white
persons and 700 Negroes fslly
qualified for jury service under
Kentucky law; but that no Negroes
had served on a jury in a state
court in MeCraken county il the
past fifty years.
The Hale case is the ninth vic
tor of the NAACP in the supreme
court. Of ten cases which it has
taken up the NAACP has wOn nine.
The next case which the association
will take up will be the case of
Gaines University of Missouri
where Lloyd Gaines. Negro grad
uate of Lincoln University (Mo.)
is seeking entrance to the Univer-
sity of Missouri law school.
