After holding hearings on the pro-
posed wages-hours bill, the Rules
committee of the House voted against a
rule which would permit the bill
to come to the floor There is strong
sentiment in the House favorable to
petitioning its members to discharge
the committee and bring the measure
to the floor through that parliament
tary device. However, 218 signatures
to the petition are required to achieve
such result, and it seems doubtful
whether such chore can be accom-
pliShed with members anxious to get
away from the Capital to participate
in their primary contests. One week
delay is necessary before a motion to
discharge the committee is in order
and when and if the petition is COM
pleted, further delay of one week
is inevitable after which it may be
brought on the floor on the second or
fourth Monday. Thus it is apparent
that there is small likelihood that
the writer will be permitted to cast
vote for wages-hours bill at this
session.

Local Boy Suffers Burns.

The Pine Coop Oil Association has
set up temporary gasoline pump at
Nickerson to supply the trucks haul
ing gravel from that point onto high
way No. 90. Everett Olesen was in
charge of the pump and was camped
in school bus body near by. While
making a meal last Friday the heat
from an oil stove apparently did not
agree with a can of high test gaso-
line standing close by. The gasoline
can exploded and of course the entire
structure was mass of flames at
once. Mr.. Olesen was burned quite
severely on the hands and face. The
gravel crew rendered timely aid and
extinguished the flames. Moral: Keep
your high test gasoline, or any other
grade of gasoline outside. A little
extra heat may expand the container
to the point where it bursts.

The visit of Henry Ford to the Cap
ital, where he was a guest of the
President at lunch was the most
spectacular news event of the week.
There were no statements for the
press but Mr.. Ford seemed pleased
with his informal chat with Mr..
Roosevelt. However, in an interview
on his way to New York he made
the startling observation that if the
entire automobile industry were to
begin operations on a full time, on
full capacity basis, only 40 days of
work would be available during the
balance of the year.

Meanwhile the Senate continued it's
consideration of the Naval expansion
bill with opponents adopting tactics
which caused many observers to sus-
pect that their drive against the
measure amounts to a virtual fill
buster. Opposition to the bill was led
by Borah, who argued that the in
ternational situation at this time does
not warrant such an expansion as that
proposed by the Administration, and
by LaFollette, who launched par
ticularly bitter verbal attack in which
he openly accused the President of adj
vocating vast Naval expansion pro-
gram at this time to divert the at
tention of the people from the domes-
tic problems created by the depres-
sion.

The House refused to concur in
several Senate amendments to the

bill and subsequently the upper house
passed the conference report on it.
Also the House received the Stea-

the United States Housing Authority,
and hearings on it were started by the
Banking and Currency committee.
The House tabled a resolution by

Little Lyne Beutel Passes.

The remains of little Lyme Otto
Beutel, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Laurence
Beutel, were brought here Friday
evening from Spokane where the
little fellow had died following an
operation in futile attempt to stop
the ravages of hydrocephalus. Lyme
was born on April IA, 1887, in Eu-
reka. During the past winter the
family have lived near Troy. Death
came on Wednesday shortly after
regaining consciousness following an
operation performed in the hope of
regaining the vigorous health of the
child's early infancy. Funeral serv-
ices were held at the Baptist church
with the Rev Mr. Harms speaking
words of tender sympathy to the
bereaved. Music was furnished by
Misses Fay, May, Inez and Gladys
Cole with Mrs. Bottorff as accom-
PIANIST. Pail bearers were Junior

Little Theatre Picnic.

About 20 members of the Little
Theatre Guild motored to StillWa-
ter for their annual picnic. This
year a steak fry was the menu at
traction. Fishing, games, dancing
and boating were enjoyed. The cli-
max of the day came when Roy Por-
ter became a casualty as he was
demonstrating his ability 90 at
canoeing. Had a pulmoter been
necessary to revive him, it is hard
ly possible that anyone could have
manipulated it for all were thrown
in spasms of laughter on seeing Roy,
pipe in mouth, emerge from the wa
terry depths of the Saltwater. A
Cub Scout came to the rescue with
a complete outfit of dry clothes
and. although his intentions were
those to merit credit for his good
deed for the day, the grotesque ap-
pearance of Mr.. Porter with trous-
ers reaching between knees and
ankles and other clothes equally
small made it almost impossible for
the victim to appreciate the kind
ness since the members continued to
show their sense of humor out of
all proportion to the occasion. Bill
Bolen was another water victim and

tryouts or first attempts at certain
things which the Club may use If

If You Think So, Say So

Should the railroads furnish
your transportation, employ your neigh
bors, share your tax burdens, and buy
large amount of materials and supplies in

long haul freight business that can move

. EMPLOYMENT Montana has
the largest mileage of transcontinental
railroad of any state in the Union. After
the Panama Canal was built, the railroads
were prevented from making rates to
compete with the steamship lines. Much
of the traffic which formerly gave
employment to residents of Montana
was thus diverted TO the steamships.
Repeal of this unfair restriction will
remove the cause of this injustice. The
importance of railroad payrolls to Mon
tana is seen in the size OF the railroads
payrolls in Montana last year-I7M
million dollars.
BUSINESS railroad
payrolls mean more business for local
business and professional men throughout
Montana.
RAILWAY PURCHASES-More
traffic for the railroads means larger rail-
road purchases. (Railroad purchases
in Montana last year were nearly
$5,000,00O.)

. TAXES-The railroads share large
part of the tax burden of Montana; in
1886 more than 100000. The con-
tinued payment of these taxes depends
upon their earning ability, now perilously
near the point of extinction.
. BRANCH LINES-Depressed rail-
way earnings threaten the continuance of
service on branch lines. Increased earn
ings will lessen the necessity for abandon
rnrnts and further curtailnent of service.
= RATES-The recovery of large
part of the long-haul traffic means a
spreading of overhead costs, with a
smaller portion falling on the traffic to
and from the interior states-a step to-
wards lower interior rates.
The Pettengill bill repeats the restric-
tive clause which prevents the railroads
from making special rates to compete
with the steamship lines. 1t has been
passed twice by the House of Representa-
tives by Large majoritics, and is now ON
the Senate Calendar with a favorable
recommendation from the Committee on
Interstate Commerce.
But unless this measure is acted
upon during the few remaining days
of the present session of Congress, it
will automatically be killed.

Dinner Meeting Launches
Concert Association S
Drive For Memberships


The membership campaign for the
second year of the Henderson Coop
erative Concert Association was
launched last evening at dinner
given at the Vance hotel for all the
sponsors of the Association. The meet
ing was well attended, with about 40
members present. Rev. James A.
Jones, president, presided. ..'
Bertram Morris, representing the
Columbia Concert Corporation, was
the Principal speaker, outlining the
plans for the campaign. He discussed
several valuable points relative to the
membership drive, and explained the
workings of the association.
Richard j. Jones was elected treas
urer for the coming year. The former
secretary resigned because of other
duties.
Mrs. Andrew j. Davis, membership
and Mrs. I. W. Hughes, as
sistant secretary, made short talks,
stating their confidence that the Con-
cert Association will have an even
better year this season than last.
Several appropriate songs were
sung during the evening, with r. j.
Jones directing and Mrs George
Holden as accompanist.
The banquet table was U-shaped,
with bowls of chrysanthemums along
the center, and silhouettes of musi-
clans in caricature as place cards.
1t was explained during the meet
ing that artists chosen will be select
ed from the list of artists under con-
