NEW YORK.
While most of Broadway man.
ayers continue to weep into their
beer over what they can do to re-
vive the road theaters, several Of
the major stars are going ahead to
greet the enthusiastic and profit
able audiences awaiting them from
Baltimore to st. Louis to San
Francisco.
Katharine Cornell, Helen HAYES
and Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fon-
tame are the leading four who
began taking top-f1ight plays back
to the road when it was considered
almost as dead as King Tut's tomb.
Today, all four are travelling in
productions which are exciting
audiences across the country. So

ayers are beginning to rouse them.

Miss Cornell, probably more than
any one, started this revival of the
road in those stands outside the
major cities. She went on tour

back in the days of the depression
when even the Broadway hits could

That was her triumphant tour
which came to a thrilling climax
when an overflow audience in q

midnight to see her begin her per.

layed her train and prevented her
from arriving in time for an $50

Judith Anderson and Helen

capital investment in preliminary in

Another important change is that
gold has not had to bear the whole
burden of being the key factor in the

NEW STREAMLINE
BALLOT PLANNED
WILL BE USED FOR FIRST TIME
IN NOVEMBER'S GENERAL
ELECTION
Closing Date for Registrations Is Sept.
20, Candidates Names VIII Be List
ed Alphabetically for Each office.

That long narrow piece of white
paper the election clerk hands You
Nov. S will be Montana's new
streamlined ballot created by the
/ 1889 legislature. Lest you forget to
register and lose your chance to
mark the first edition of this new
] type ballot, closing date for regis
tratiOn is Friday, Sept. 20, accord
ing TO Secretary of State Sam w.
Mitchell.
In the 1888 general election, 269,96S
voters were registered.
And here's how that new ballot
works:
It has three columns. In the first
column are listed all candidates for
national and state offices.
In the second column are all can
didates for county and township Of
fices.
In the last column appear the two
referendum measures and the one ini-
tiative measure.
offices in the first two columns win
be listed in the order of their import
ance.
Under each office will be listed all
candidates for that office The candi-
dates of the two major parties appear
ing above the names of minor party
or independent candidates.
Furthermore, the names of the major
party candidates will be listed alpha
betically without regard to party, and
the names of minor party and indie
pendent candidates will be arranged in
alphabetical order under the major
party candidates.
Each candidates name will be fol-
lowed by the name Of the party he
represents.
That's the basic principle Of the new
ballot-but there are a few variations
These variations we're provided by
the legislature so no one candidate
would have his name at the top of
the list on every ballot.
To prevent that, here's what hap
pens:
The county clerk in making up the
ballot forms for printing must divide
the ballots In sets equal in number
TO the greatest number of candidates
for any one office
The first will have the names ar
ranged alphabetically as explained
above.
On the next set, the top name In
each alphabetical group will be taken
from the top and put at the bottom.
A further rotation will take place in
each of the other sets Of ballots.
Every ballot used in any one pre-
cinct must have the same alphabetical
arrangement, however.

Close behind the fur trader, the
miner and the adventurer on the
TRAN leading into Montana came
the cattIeman, raising his herds
and laying the groundwork for an
industry that has come to be re-
garded as one of the Treasure
states most widespread and vaIu-
able enterprises through its exist
ence Of more than three quarters
of a century. It is believed that
cattle were introduced into the
state as early as 1882 when dairy
cattle and work oxen were brought
TO the country now designated as
Montana.
They were used In the trading and
freighting camps and later the mining
centerS but were used on q limited
scale. According to an article by E.
A. Phillips, secretary of the Montana
Stockgrowers association, the livestock
industry got its real start in 1862 when
Kohrs and Bielenberg trailed the first
cattle into the Deer Lodge valley.
Conrad KOhrs, Pioneer
Thus, Conrad Kohrs became one of
the first big names in the industry.
A native Of Germany who followed the
Life Of sailor during the early years
Of his life, kohrs was engaged In min
ing in California before coming to
Montana in 1862. He began the breed
ing of cattle in 1865 and his operations
were so widespread that he won the
title of cattle king Of Montana" He
pioneered the introduction of Short
horn cattle to the state buying his
5erefords in 1890.
The first herd of beef cattle was
1riven out of the southwestern part
If the state to Salt Lake City In 1853.
The herd was owned by Patrick Largey
II Butte. The first shipment of cattle
rom Montana to Chicago was a herd
rallied from the state in 1874 by Kohrs
md Bielenberg, and by 1876 it was not
Uncommon for cattle to be trailed to
cheyenne, Wyo., where they were
hipped east on the Union Pacific.
When the Northern Pacific was COM
leted in 1888, the heavy export live
took trade was established.
Another pioneer in this field of en-
eavor In Montana was Granville |

inning and pioneering in the state. |
