these reports drew strenuous
denials from the London For

Official quarters merely said,
"Watch the British Parliament. All
we can say now is that tremen-

cording to Guy Weadick, general
manager of British Canadian Pic

Weadick expressed the opinion that
sufficient effort has not been made
to bring to public notice the value of
Russell paintings and other Russell
treasures in Great Falls.
The Calgary man protested the mis-
representations in fiction. motion pic
lures, wild west shows and rodeoS of
cowboys. which. he says, have reflected
no credit on the livestock industry, the
genuine cowboy and the west in gen.
eral. These Misrepresentation he
credited largely to persons with no
genuine knowledge of their subjects.
Records show" he said, that on
the whole there have been fewer in
stances of serious law breaking by this
class of men than by those engaged in
other lines of business or professions,
If you will. Cowpunching was a pro-
fession; it took more than boots, spurs,
six-shooter and big hat to qualify.
The cowboy had to be experienced in
his work, which in itself was hard;
long hours in all kinds of weather at
all seasons OF the year. History clearly
indicates there never was a class Of
men more loyal to their trust and
their employers"
Rodeos, contrary to some reports,

Milk Never Exposed
Another idea. which is generally
adopted by dairymen, is that milk. be-
cause it adopts any stray flavor or
smell. must not be exposed unduly to
the air. Therefore, with the use of
milking machines. covered pals and
a sealed cooling house. the milk from

SHELTON, SO, Geyser stockman.
A Montana resident for 63
years, SHELTON, an early-day pros
pector, trapper and Indian trad
er, missed the last Montana
bound boat at Bismarck in 1876,
the year of the Custer massacre,
and with a companion, Gene Alb
bott, walked overland to Fort
Benton. At a Missouri river ford
they walked squarely into the
center of Sitting Bulls command,
fleeing to Canada. That they
were unframed, SHELTON ascribes
to Sitting Bulls decision to per-
init no killings of whites after
the band crossed the Missouri.
Shelton settled on Wolf creek
near Stanford in 1850 and re-
calls that the only formality
needed at that time to file on a
homestead was to shape and
place four logs. which were to
serve as a foundation for the

ON THE OCEAN HIGHWAY

The last wishes Of William e.
Daily, prominent investment broker,
were carried out this Thursday af-

Mr.. Daily who had been i'll for more

cause of this fear, he is said to have
decided to end his life by leaping
from a jetty into the ocean early on
Wednesday morning Of last week. His
body was found Saturday morning.
Mrs. Daily has won the admiration
and words of praise from those who
know her, and who are acquainted
with the tragedy and circumstances
through which she is passing. After
Saturday she plans to make her fu-
ture residence at the White Apart
ments, at 100 Broad street.
