• ' THE EKALAKA EAGLE. • • MONTANAN' MAKES BRILLIANT RECORD HARRY F. WANVIG CONIPLETES PLATTSBURG COURSE AS ARTILLE1R , Y MAJOR. Former Butte Resident Youngest Of- ficer of That Rank in Artillery Branch of the National Army; Made Phenomenal Rise in Insur- ance World. The most brilliant record made by any young man in the officers' re- serve training camps of the United States is that of Harry F. Wanvig, until a little more than two years ago a resident of Montana. Wanvig has just completed his training at the Plattsburg camp in New York state and has received ,the commission of major of artillery, being the youngest artillery malor in the national army. He is only 34 years old. Less than three years ago blajor Wanvig was a resident of Butte. where he held the position of manag- er of the Butte branch of the Pacific Coast Fire Adjustment bureau. He was considered one of the best fire insurance adjusters in the northwest. A chance came to him to go to Chi- cago as special agent for the York- shire Fire Insurance company, to handle field work for the company in the larger cities of the middle west. Ile made good en that job, and when an opening arose in the office of sec- cretary of the United States branch of the Yorkshire in New York the place was offered to the j , oung man from Montana. He accepted it. Rapid Rise in Business. That was a little more than a year ago, and last January he received a New Year's present by being made assistant manager of the United States branch of the company. In the insurance world his rise was consid- ered phenomenal. Three months ago he notified the Yorkshire officials that Ile intended to seek entriffice inte the officers' re- serve training damp at Plattsburg. Hie showing during the three ha of training was so urilliant-grhe was commisaioned as major. At the Plattsburg camp, out of 1,049 candi- dates tor aKtillery commissions only six were commissioned majors. Two of these were reserve piajors of artillery whose commisaioners were confirmed. Two more were reg- ular army officers, graduates of West Point, who already held the rank of captain. The remaining two, and the only ones without prdvious military experience, were Wanvig and the son of President Hadley of Yale, the latter ha-ving been a mem- ber of the Yale field artillery battery, with which he had seen considerable training service. Majors Wanvig and Hadley are the only two civilian candidates to be commissioned with that rank in the national army. Wins a Bride, Too. However, Major Wanvig has achieved another brilliant victory, which he considers far more import- ant than that won in the training camp at Plattsburg, He has won the heart and hand of a charming young woman, Miss Kate Clendennin of New Haven, whom he met at Havre, Montana, ten years ago. Their mar- riage took place' in the White moun- tains of NeW Hampshire August 15th, after an acquaintance dating from the days of romance under Montana skies. Mrs. Wativig has many Havre friends. Major Wanvig is well known in Havre, where he lived for a' couple of years a decade ago when he was in the service of the Great Northern. He also has many friends in Greta. Falls, Lewistown and many other cities and towns of the state, but is best known in Butte, where he made his home longest. Charles O.. Jenks, formerly super- intendent of the Butte division of the Great Northern and now assistant general manager of that road with headquarters at St. Paul, is a cous- in of Major Wanvig, and the latter's parents livc in Minneapolis. Montana friends of the young ma- jor of artillery predict that he will go far in the military service of his country if the opportunity presents itself. The rank of brigadier gener- al is only two steps away, and Major Wanvig is of the stuff from which great comntanders are made. WHAT WILL COAL COST IN MONTANA •••••• BIG 1)1IFFERENCE OF OPINI()N SINCE PRESIDENT FIXED PRICE AT MINES. Very Ieittle Differenoe, Butte Dealers saY;),Carbon County Operators De- clare They Will Be Ont of Busi- ness; Retail Price Expected Soon for Montana Towns. There are a great many people in Montana who are wondering what coal is going to cost this winter. Last week the president fixed the price of bituminous coal, which means> the coal containing mineral pitch—the only kind found in Piton- tana—at $2.45 .for slack or screen- ings; $2.75 for mine run; and $2.95 for• prepared siges. These prices are at the mine and in the Montana dis- trict. ' In Wyoming, from where a good deal of coal. is shipped into Montana, the price at the mine is a trifle cheap- er. prepared sizes being fixed at $2.75, and run of the mine, $2.50. The Butte coal dealers declare that the price of coal will change 'very lit- tle as a result of this price fixing. The Bear creek operators, whose mines are in Carbon county, declare that they will be forced to suspend operations, and they promptly sent a telegram of protest to Senator Walsh. Coal dealers in many Montana towns are wondering what will hap- pen to their stocks when retail prices are fixed' by the president. Many who have 1,000 tons of coal on hand, .having laid 4n large stocks in ad- vance, have paid upward of ; 14 per ton at the mine. Slime say they face bankruptcy. American Engines. Washington—One thousand loco- motives - ice - lug sent to Russia before Christmas will keep 1,600,000 Ger- man soldiers on the eastern front, military authorities declare. These engines will greatly aid the Itussians I in moving troops. Chesterfield GARET`TES \Satisfy?\ Yes! Yet, they're Mild! Sure as you're a foot high.

SPECIAL SESSION OF LEGISLATURE? 11CLIEVED BY MANY THAT SUCH ACTION BY GOVERNOR MAY BECOME NECESSARY. Seriousness ot I. W. W. Situation and Absence of ProtecUon After National Guard is Withdrawn May Cause a Situation That Will Force Action Before Long. That an extra session of the Mon- tana legislature may be called * to deal with the question of protection of property in the state folkowing the withdrawal of state troops into the federal serviee bedoming more and more a probability. Governor Stew- art has expressed himcelf opposed to calling a session unless it becomes imperative for the welfare of the state, but there is a general feeling gilowing tha.t the state legislative body will be called together for the purpose of authorizing some form of a state constabulary. One difficulty with the calling of an extra session is the question of how long it is to remain convened. There is no law compelling the leg- islature to convene for the purpose of considering one matter only, and if a number of other proposed laws are brought under consideration the legislature might remain in session for months. So apparent was this phase of the situation when ex -Gov- ernor Norris called an extra session of the legislature to consider the primary law that he forced every member of the fegislature to pledge himself not to take up any other mat- ter. It is probable that some action of this sort would have to be taken in this case. , Governor StRwart, upo'n his re- turn from a conference of governors ! at Portland recently-, announced , that he woud not call the solons to- gether at once, but continued corn- ! plaints and outbreaks over the state !are believed to be of such force as to make a call imperative within a ;short time. Extra Seasions Bare. I The regular session of the Mon- tana legislature adjourned early last Nlarch. The houses meet biennially and extra session's are rare. The war has caused to arise num- erous problems which the soions were unable' to foresee. The State council of Defense has thus far been able to deal with the food problem by a speed-up campaign which se- cured a vastly increased acreage and which would have resulted in twice , the normal yield had not drouth in- tervened. But the big problem be - !ore the council—that of the I. W. W.—it could not well handle. since lacked legal authority and finan- ( ial means for decisive action. This authority and these means the ex- tra session of the legislature is ex- pected to provide. Fear for Future. Thus far, the I. W. W. disturb- ances -have not, outside of Butte, as- sumed particularly startling propor- tions. There have been disturbances at Eureka, at Libby and at Missoula and a small hamlet here and there suffered an attack of hysteria be- cause of the presence of the \wob- blies.\ It is what malcontents might do, now that the troops have been with- drawn from all sections but Butte, that worries Montana. A few bridges dynamited; a few tunnels blown down—on the transcontinental rail- ways traversing the state, and crops would not move in, for long weeks. These arteriee of transportation posi- tively must be kept open; but how and by whom is the question. Present Plan Expensive. As the, ntyriad little camps of mili- tia squads were abandoned, the troops moving tovvard Helena for mobilization, state deputy sheriffs, deputy United States marshals, home guards and private deputies hired by the railways have gone on duty. But this method is expensive. The railways are paying some 'of their men as high as $.1,000 per month; and suitable guards cdnnot be se- cured. it is said. at this figure. The real peril is that spies and ptotaers should be hired for this guard duty and given charge of property of inestimable , strategic value in wartime. One of the amaz- ing phases of the %V. W. move- ment in Montana is4jia l insidious in- vasion of older and reCOgnized unions by the Industrial workers. Classified MENEM Cla,ssified FARM LANDS --FOR SALE.
