Success Of Campaigns

At any rate there is no question
Of the accomplishment. In some
states the campaign has been so
thoroughly carried out that the
citizens hardly know what diph-
iberia is.
In my neighboring city Of Kan
sas City, Kansas, in one Of those
enlightened states, there have been
no deaths from diphtheria for three
years. Think Of that in a city Of
two hundred thousand population.
In Massachusetts, a state where
there is much population crowd
ing, with tenements and poverty,
the actual rate of incidence of
diphtheria had dropped in the 10
years between 1880 and 1910 from
1OI cases per 100000 population
TO 5.
But remember, diphtheria is not
killed 1t is only sleeping. Eternal
vigilance - continued vaccination
lis the price of peace.

Many Oil Burners
Easily Converted

1t will be no problem to con-
vert many oil-burning heating
systems to coal, say Iron Fireman
engineers, because a survey in
anthracite territory in the east
revealed that almost so per cent
of the domestic oil-burning in
stallations were originally de-
signed for coal and were using
substantially the same boiler as
had formerly been designed for
coal.

Artist remove all paint and

(red lead), which is still one OF
the best rust preventives avail

A-Having withstood sun and
gale for five decades, the chances
are that your chimney is strong
enough to allow you to forget any
fears of toppling-unless you see
signs of cracking or leaning. Most
likely what bothers you is mat
ter of design only. In that case
it would be a simple matter to
make the chimney bulkier by add
ing a veneer of brick, stone OF
stucco-depending on the effect
you desired. 1t will be wisest tc
make provision for the added
weight by broadening the footing
at the base of the chimney.

Careful Construction
Cuts Fuel Expense

Extra items when the house Is
being built will save hundreds of
dollars in the next 10 years in
fuel costs, say Fir-Tex technicians.
Money spent for sheathing on
outer walls and roof and a better
heating system will cut down the
cost of fuel expenditures each year
the house is occupied. Savings of
$50 and $50 a year mount to
hundreds over a period of years.

Farm, Prices Linked
To LenQth of War

THE length Of the war will be an
important factor In determining how
high farm prices will rise. However,
government rationing and price con-
troll programs may put ceilings on
most farm prices" DR.. R. r. Renne
Of the State college at Bozeman said
in an address given before National
Farm Loan association delegates at
meeting in Great Falls.
Comparison of differences and SIM
ilarities OF World wars / and 2 were
made by DR.. Renne In respect to ef-
fects upon farm land values and farm
tax burdens.
I'VE have the advantage of having
the experience of the last World war
period fresh In our minds, and II lend
ers as well as borrowers will keep
those memories clearly in mind and
follow sound farm credit procedures
many Of the disastrous consequences
which followed the last war can be
prevented in the years that lie ahead"
DR.. Renne concluded.

Though occupying a special status as
packer, which brought him into close
and personal contact with the officers,
the appeal of army life came to him
instinctively. HIS grandfather fought
in the Revolution and his father gave
his life in the Civil war, which broke
out when Phillips was IL years old.
He was born in 1850. With his moth
er and two younger brothers he moved
to Illinois in 1864 and from there TO
Missouri. He was 10 when he went
into the Black Hills as a chairman
on the survey party and was only 20
when he became chief packer in the
Indian campaigns in the Dakotas,
Montana and Wyoming.
In 1880 he married Laura Carter in
Illinois and came west to the new
town Of Dillon in 1882. He made his
home in the valley from then on.
In 1906 he organized the Phillips
Livestock Co. on Rattlesnake creek and
when he disposed of these holdings
he moved to Dillon where he operated
an employment office.

James Phillips, Dillon Man,
Was a Real Winner of West

James E. Phillips, who died recently
at Dillon at the age Of 81. was one
OF the true winners OF the west, who
boosted the acquaintance Of such IL
lustrious characters as Wild Bill Hick-
ok, Calamity Jane. Buffalo Bill Cody
and Gen. George G. Crook in this
areas most adventurous and glamorous
period
That rugged life apparently agreed
with him. for Phillips remained active
until last summer, when he retired
from his employment office at Dillon
because OF declining health. In 1910
he resigned as county coroner, a po-
sition he held for 10 years.
As young man in a United States
geological survey party in the Black
Hills, he knew Deadwood and Lead.
S. D.. as raw and roistering frontier
towns
He was chief packer for General
Crooks forces after his Black Hills ex-
periences and took an active part in
the Indian campaigns OF the day.
Crooks forces were only days forced

Shorthorn Durham cattle Is to bunch
Of 20 head brought into the Madison
valley in June, 1871, by DR.. w. L.
Frary. Alex Metzel and o. A. Sedman
These were imported" into Montana
from Kentucky. This, Of course. is
later than the references made pre-
ceding, from the accounts at Fort
Union. st. Mary's, Fort Benton. ETC.
A man by the name Of NJ Borchardt
Of Miles City claimed the honor OF
bringing to the Yellowstone country
the first cattle ever brought In there
some time about 1876. This statement
occurs on page 1895 of Montana His
tory Of 1885,"
Sheep
The first reference to sheep seems
to date back only as far as 1868. In
that year the territorial auditor re-
ports that there were nine counties
reporting to his office, 1,752 sheep and
goats in the territory. John H. Ming
was auditor. In a little book written
by Thomas P. McElrath. 1.-THE Vel
lowstone Valley" the following writing
Is found:
IN the fall OF 1876 while the valley
was still occupied by the hostile Sioux
under Sitting Bull. a man named
Burgess drove a herd Of 1.4O0 sheep
cross of the Merino and Cotswold
breeds, from California into western
Montana He arrived at Miles City
about the end of September, having
consumed two seasons in the trip and
located on the east bank OF the Tongue
river on the site of the present Miles
City. In the following fall the flock
was purchased by G. M. Miles, who
moved it to new range on the Tongue
river about three miles further up
etc.
John F. Bishop of the Beaverhead
valley is credited with having intro
duced sheep into that section in 1869
or 1870. But as they already appear
in the territorial auditors report for
1868, they must have been in the
territory at some other place, for
Beaverhead county is created with
nine sheep and goats in that report.
