Nationalist lines around Madrid.
 The outbreak which developed last week to a "war within a war" had been put down with heavy cas- ualties. Two Communist army corps, protesting against the plan of Gen. Jose Miaja's new regime to seek an honorable peace" with Franco, had thrown 30,0O0 men into revolt on the central front and other isolated battalions in the provinces.
 Fate of Communists
 Asked regarding the fate of the Communist leaders, CaSado said that Justice is functioning before military tribunals which have codes of justice approved by the republic. 1"
 Judges will find a manner to deal with those who pose arms against the power of the people, {" he said.
 Of Franco he said: We are al- ways expecting an enemy attack. We have noticed preparations but our posts are ready to receive any attack
 He stressed the point, however, that the new defense council did not intend to lead the people into further conflict with the Nation- alists, but hoped to liquidate the war "honorably."

 Chairman Elberg D. Thomas, D., Utah, postponed hearings on the amendments early this month after President Roosevelt invited the AFL ard the congress of industrial or ganizaitons to resume attempts to settle their three-year-old civil war. Thomas still contends that consid- eration of them during the curren. negotiations would be "unfortu- nate" The committee had planned to begin hearings about March IS.
 Issues Challenge
 Green, in his letter, challenged that stand.
 "In behalf of the AFL," ne wrote, T protest vigorously against a postponement of a hearing on amendments introduced by Sen. David I.

 House Concurs with Senate
 Hartfbrd, Conn, March 14.-(UP) The House concurred with the Senate today in rejecting a batch of bills prescribing severe penalties for n-American activities.
 Among the measures were those prohibiting the wearing of political uniforms; distribution of literature creating religious or racial prejudice and the dissemination of propa- ganda melting class hatred. One of the bills would have required all distributors of pamphlets to file with the secretary of state informa- tion concerning the source of the literature and the names of per- sons responsible for it's publication
 The following public utilities bills were rejected:
 Authorizing the legislature to pre- scribe rates of utilities companies upon recommendation of the pub lie utilities commission.
 Abolishing telephone company in- stallation and extension charges.
 AboliShing all meter charges.
 Requiring an annual detailed in- ventory to be filed with the con- mission.

 Sano Mach, propaganda without the rank of minister.
 Tiso Also Triumphs
 Tiso. named president and pre- mier, was premier of the Slovak semi-autonomous government. His dismissal, and the dismissal of two fellow ministers, by the Czechoslo- yak government, precipitated the situation which reached its climax today.
 Tuka, the foreign minister, is a veteran separatist leader who in 1929 was sentenced to 15 years im- prisonment by Czechoslovakia for treason. He had been released, but was arrested again during the week end occupation of Slovak towns by Czech troops
 Durcansky and Pruzinsky were ministers in the semi-autonomous cabinet. They, like Tiso, were dis missed by the Czechslovak govern ment.
 Historic Meeting
 The historic meeting of the Slo- yak parliament or diet was held in the committee house" here, in the center of the city. It was once the county house" under the Austro- Hungarian monarchy.
 Hlinka guardsmen, in uniforms, and police wearing the Hlinka guard arm band, formed cordon about the building. Both guards men and police were armed with bayoneted rifles. Policemen wore steel helmets.
 It was rumored that Czech sol- diers had withdrawn from their garrisons here during tn, morning and closed all highways leading to the city.
 Other Czech troops were said to have occupied strategic points near the German frontier and hiphwavs in the country. :
 It was reported that during the night Czech police had arrested more than 30 Germans of Czecho- slovak nationality. The German consulate reported that three Ger man citizens had been arrested this morning.

FREIGHTER'S LIFE
NO BED OF ROSES
MUSSELSHELL MAN TELLS OF
HARDsHIPS MET BY
~SKINNERS"
Steep, Icy Hills Just One Handicap
Suffered by Eariy-Day Drivers;
'Trailers" With Camp Equipment
Were ScOrned by Whackers.

Motorists who talk of the "hard-
ships" of winter driving doubtless
would be greeted with a scOrnfuI
silence by Old-tfme Montana "bulI-
whackers." or freight sIxinners, ac-
cOrding to E. b. Atkinson of Mus
selshell, one Of the few remaining
freighters now living in the state.
Atkinson was a freighter from his
( bOyhOOd in Glendive In the eighties
/ until 1908.
At the age of 10 Atkinson was able
/ to harness 10 head Of horses. Most
J teams were composed of from IL to
I 16 head of horses or mules or both
I or what was known as bull teams
to IL yoke Of oxen
Each team drew from three to five
wagons and q caravan consisted of
from 3 to IL teams of animals and
the wagons they pulled. It was thus
not uncommon for caravans to extend
more than a mile.
Atkinson says that freighters prided
themselves that they would transport
anything as part of their regular
business.
Freight was landed by river steamers
at Reed point, Rocky point, Cow island
and Fort Claggett. During high water
the steamers often we're able to move
as far west on the Missouri as Fort
Benton. From these points the freight
was hauled overland by teams to such
places as LewistOwn, Maiden and Fort
Maginnis.
One time Atkinson and his father
were hauling a load of gold ore from
LewtStown to Fort Claggett They had
to descend a hill about a mile and a
half long to reach the fort. Ice made
the trail impossible, so many hours
were devoted to cutting two trenches
in the ice for the wagon wheels. At
the hill was made after long hours,
during which the horses, sharp shod,
frequently had to run with the train
careening behind them.
Toward 1890 the bull yoke teams
were being abandoned rapidly. During
this period, too, many freighters added
extra wheel carts to their trains, and
carried bed, stove and other articles
of camp equipment This practice was
looked upon by the older freighterS as
unworthy of the traditions of the
game. For the earlier freighterS not
only had had to sleep on the ground
In all kinds Of weather and cook their
own meals over campfireS, but ward off
the attacks of marauding Indians as
well
Until few years ago the remains
OF some of the old freight outfits could
be found IN many parts of Montana.
Among the landmarks Is what was
called the Musselshell river ford, d.
rectly north of the town of MusselsheI.
But 1t is no longer in use. About so
yards below the site Of the old cross
ing a steel and concrete bridge now
spans the river.

WGring Announces
Terms of 1910 AAA
Parity PAYMENTS

@. L. Warning, acting chairman OF
the state agricultural conservation
committee at Bozeman, announces
that terms and conditions under which
the 1910 AAA parity payments will be
made to Montana wheat producers
have been perfected. These payments
he said, will be made from the $225,-
100000 appropriation made by the last
congress.
Although the provisions are similar
to those in effect for this year, there
are two additional requirements: ID
Producer must plant within his total
wheat acreage allotment and ~ a
producer viii not be permitted to over
plant on any farm in which he has
an interest.
After the 1899 season average prices
are determined, the rates of price ad-
justment will be announced, Warning
said. But in any case the rate for any
crop cannot exceed the amount by
which the 1899 average farm price Of
the commodity is less than rs percent
of the parity price"
In explaining the overplanting re-
Striction, Warning says that 1t means a
farmer who operates or has an inter-
est in several farms cannot qualify for
parity payment by keeping within his
wheat allotment on one farm and over
planting on the other farms. Where
this occurs, the state Triple-A COM
mittee will withhold all or part Of the
parity payment under the 1910 pro-
gram.

GiUe EUeTgreenS
Generous Drink
OF Water This Fall

Give those evergreens In your yard
q good long, deep drink of water this
fan to keep them from being winter
killed by severe temperatures and dry
ing out" Is the advice E. E. Isaac,
extension horticulturist at Montana
State college, passes along to Montana
home owners.
Contrary TO popular opinion, he said,
evergreen needles or leaves need mois-
ture to supply that lost by evapora-
ton. Unless the tree has enough mois-
ture the leaves may dry and die. When
the ground Is frozen, the roots In the
frozen zone are unable TO draw mois-
ture from the soil. Those In the lower
levels, below the frozen zone, can take
up water, however That is the reason
why evergreens need to be generously
watered during the fall months.
In watering evergreens, Isaac adj
vises leaving the water on long enough
to soak several feet into the ground.
It is necessary TO have the soil area
below the frozen zone wen supplied
with moisture.
