Japs Blockade British Concession In Tientsin

TIENTSIN, June IA (4) Jap aneSe officers tonight rejected British mediation attempts and Widened demands on the British while Japanese gendarmes, aided by Chinese police, blockaded the British and French concessions, whose approximately 10000 pop ulation is virtually cut off from all supplies.
 The Japanese military took the position that the dispute leading to the blockade, was the British refusal to hand over to the Jap aneSe, four alleged Chinese slay CTS of a Tientsin official. They said the affair could not now be settled by merely relinquishing the accused Chinese. The officers advanced five broad demands which they said would be nec- essary if the dispute is ito be settled
 A Japanese statement said: ''The British must first discontin ue their protection of anti-Japan- csc Communistic elements; sec ond, cease supporting Chinese currency; third, cease hoarding goods at Tientsin; fourth, cease using unregistered radio stations in Tientsin; and fifth, allow the use of Japanese-prepared school books in the British concession. :"

SHELTER WORKER
SCARES BANKERS
By EDWARD b. REYNOLDS


For centuries untold, men have
fought to protect their valuables
and men have fought to rob men
of their valuables. This never end
ing battle has resulted in the de-
velopment of safes SO that today
the vaults in banks and business
houses are as near burglar-prOO
as they have been in the history
of men.
An amusing incident in this battle
of shoemaker against safecracker is
told by an old-time Anaconda resident.
In August, 1911, a convention of
bankers gathered in the Smelter city
One of their exhibits was a safe made
from a new type of steel. This safe
was considered to be as near burglar
proof as anything ever developed. In
fact the bankers placed the safe on
display in the Montana hotel and such
was their confidence that they offered
81 900 to anyone who could break into
it.
OF course Anaconda was endeavoring
to show the visitors good time and
exercised every hospitable means pos
Sible for their entertainment. One of
the features was tour of the Ana
conda Reduction works, the worlds
largest copper smelter.
During the tour, the officials at the
reduction works staged an entertain
ment In which one man cut through a

"How much was the grocery bill
this month? Montana housewives
who tremble when asked that ques-
ton by their husbands might well
have shuddered had they been
asked the same question in 1870,

residents of Fort Benton. This is
revealed by the discovery of a
grocery bill, more than half a CEN
fury old, found recently in a filing
case in the Fort Benton court
house, and presented by the finder,
Ezra L. Crane, to the Mint at Great
Falls, where it has been added to
the historical collection of the institu-
ton. Sid Willis, proprietor of the Mint,
mas one OF the largest privately owned
collections of early days relics in the
west.
The itemized account found by Crane
Is that of H. A. Kanouse of Marias
river, who did business with the firm
of Carroll & STEEL.
Most reasonably priced item of those
times, the account shows, was whisky,
OF which Mr.. Kanouse purchased liber-
al amounts at IS a gallon.
Soda crackers, the account shows,
sold for 80 cents pound and the then
indispensable item of coal oil brought
S11O a gallon. Thread was IS cents a
spool and sugar was 80 cents a pound.
perusal of the account shows
that Mr.. Kanouse. after buying con-
siderable whisky at SIS a gallon, dis
covered the virtues of quantity con-
sumption and began buying his liquor
IN 32-gallon kegs, thereby obtaining
the reduced price of S425 a gallon, or
Sl36 key. This purchase was made
Oct. 8, 1869. Ten days later, Mr.. Ka-
mouse augmented his supplies by buy
ing 80 gallons of Game Cock" whisky
for which he paid SITS.
Among unexpected items in the ac-
count are a comb at 81 and a nail
brush at rs cents.
A key OF pickles at 50 and a case of
oysters at $40 are among October pur-
chaseS.
Frequently recurring items on the
kanouse account are lamp chimneys
at so cents each and matches at IS

FLATHEAD IRRIGATION COMMITS
SION SENDS REPRESENTATIVE
TO WASHINGTON

ID. A. DellwO, secretary of the
board of Flathead irrigation COM
missioners, has gone to Washing
ton, d. c., in the interests of the
F1athead project. DelIwo will seek
legislation which will make pos
Sible the completion of the Flat
head project in the next three
years and to effect changes in the
repayment contracts of the land
owners on the project.
q. L. Sperry, project engineer, re-
ports that snowfall in the mountains
and the amount of water in storage
In the reservoirs at this time indicate
that there will be as much water for
irrigation this year as last. 1t is also
expected that the pumping plant un-
der construction at this time on the
Flathead river, will be in operation in
August and will supply 200 cubic feet
OF water per second to the area under
the Pablo reservoir. This will make it
possible to use all the water in the
other reservoirs in the sections not
served by the Pablo reservoir
The pumping plant in operation on
Grow creek is pouring so acre feet of
water into Nine Pipe reservoir every
day, according to Dellwo. and the mild
weather has made it possible for a large
amount of water to flow by gravity
each day into Kicking Horse reservoir.
H. E. Bixby, superintendent of power
development on the project, reports
that notwithstanding the low rates in
effect in the F1athead valley. the net
returns on the power business will bear
a large part of the project costs in
the near future.
