Work of counting the Montana elk has been completed and there are 19 345 live elk in the three princi- pal bands in Montana—Gardiner, Gallatin and Madison—according to the report of the federal government. which in co-operation with the statej game warden, the national park ser-I vice and the forest service finished the count which was arranged in March and took placia in April and, May. The report has just been re- ceived by State Game Warden De - Hart. The report has been prepared by J. W. Nelson, federal inspector of graz- ing in Montana, and including Depu- ty Wardens George Mushbach and Harry Edgar of the state warden's force, there were 22 men engaged in the count. Eleven of the men came from the national forest service and nine from the national park service. Counted Under Difficulties. The story of the count shows that the men encountered many hard- ships. They made their way into the mountains. ueing wagons where possible and pack horses later, but doing most of the work on snow- shoes. They scaled mountains and traVersed valleys and forded rivers and at times were forced to camp out where night overtook them. They established main camps and worked out from them. There were rain and snow storms and veritable blizzards againet which they contended, and they were in danger of snow slides, but the men worked in pairs, kept on covering hundreds of miles and finished the work in a fashion which reflects great credit upon them all. During the past winter there were reports of heavy losses among the elk herds and the count was made to determine the loss as well as to furnish a basis upon which the gov- ernment might arrange for winter pasturage for the animate and in the event no pasturage was to be had, haY and other forage might be fur- nished. The heavy snows were res- ponsible for the losses which turned out to be about 14 per cent. Gardiner Ilerd Largest. The report of the count showed that there was 17 . 422 live elk in the Gardiner herd, which makes its home largely in Yellowstone park and in the forest reserves to the north. A total of 3,069 dead elk were encount- ered. In the Gallatin herd there were counted 1,670 live elk and 266 dead. In the Madison herd 23 live elk and four dead. During the hunting season of 1916 hunters killed in the three bands a total of 607 elk and the government shipped 496 to game reserves - and the state 68, a total of 664.

Slade, vice president in charge of operation, and John M. Rapelje general manager of the Northern Pacific, offered their serv- ices supervising railroad war work in France and were refused because of \greater need at home.\ Both men were anxious to go to Europe and take part in the war work. But Mr. Slade, a member of the central department war board of the American Railway association, was informed that his services in America would benefit the nation more than in France. Rapelje was told the same thing. The government said transportation in the northwest was vital to the ex- istence of the country and no change in present managements was desired. A number of other men proininent in railroad life in the northwest have informed George W. McCree, in charge of recruiting railroad regi- ments who was in Montana last week that their services were available if needed. Many Offers Surprise. . \ . I am suiprised at the number of men who desire to help in France,\ Mr. McCree said. \Executives are as anxious to go as minor employes.\ Railroads in this territory have in- formed their men that those enlist- ing for war service would retain their senior rank on the railroads on their return. This was important to firemen, engineers and members of train crews, who would have forfeit- ed their standings otherwise and on their return, would have had to start at the beginning.

Iron Is Greatest of All Strength Builders, Says Doctor A Secret of the Great Endurance and Powers of Athletes Ordinary Nuxated Iron WM Make Deli- cate, Nervous, Rundown People 100 Per Cent Stronger in Two Weal,' Time in Many Cases. NEW YORK, N. Y.—Most people foolish- ly seem to think they are going to get re- newed health and strength from Rome etim- ulating medicine, secret noetrum or nar- cotic drug, said Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston Physician who has studied widely both in this country and Great European Medical Institutione when, as a matter of fact, real and true strength can only come from the food yea eat. But people often fall to get the strength out of their food because they haven't enough iron in their blood to en- able it to- change food Into living matter. From their weakened, nervous condition they know something Is wrong but they can't tell what, so they generally commence dOctoring for stomach, liver or kidney trouble or itymptoms of some other ail- ment caused by lack of Iron in the blood. This thing may go on for years, while the patient suffers untold agony. If you are not Strong or well, you owe it to - yoarself to make the following test: See bow long you ean work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two ['Te- rrain tablets of ordinary nuiated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have seen dozens of nervous. run-down people who Were ailing all the while, double their strength guid endurance and entirely get rid of all symptotns of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And title after they had in sotne (-mast been doctoring for months with• out obtaining any benefit. But don't take the old forme of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easily absorbed and assimilated like nuxated iron if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than tiaeless. Many an athlete or price -fighter halt won the day simply because they knew the secret of neat strength and endurance and filled hie blood with iron before he .went into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for thp lack of Iron.

WORK ()F SEEDING FALL CROPS IN STATE PRACTICALLY COMPLETED. Farmers A blo to Secure All the Wheat Seed Needed This Fan; Acreage is Norntal; Law Provides Ftmds to Loan to Farmers ...for Planting Next Spring. There has really been no shortage of winter wheat seed in Montana this ,fall and an unusually large acreage, considering the season, is believed to have been seeded. Through the co- operation of the banks, farmers who wanted seed and needed credit to get it, were taken care of. When the season first opened the state council of defense considered the proposition of having the state banks finance farmers who were un- able to get seed grain on their own account. The subject was consid- ered one of importance from a war standpoint. When the council met it was decid- ed to request the co-operation of the various county boards in the work. C. D. Greenfield secretary of the state council, wrote each of the coun- ty boards and from replies received it was unnecessary. Wherever funds were needed they were cheerfully ad- vanced by local banks at reasonable rates. Farmers All Got Seed. It proved that apprehension was unwarranted. Few farmers in the state were unable to Care for their wants and those as well as all home- steaders who applied were assisted by the board of the county in which they resided. Seeding is about completed in all sections of the state. according to reports to Commissioner of Agricul- ture Greenfield, and while exact sta- tistics are not available at present, it is believed that seeding of winter grain will be nearly up to normal. The acreage seeded will be less than expected earlier owing to the ex- treme dryness of the year which pre- vented plowing. Ferment who were unable to plow this fall are planning upon putting in a greater acreage in the spring crops. Many farmers are ready for .the plow as soon as the frost leaves the ground. Seeding in Montana can be done as late as June 15, with as- surance of a good crop and there will be no scarcity . of seede in the spring as there is a Montana statute that covers such cases. State Funds Available. The state has a fund from which farmers can borrow to purchase seed, giving a lien upon the crops. The state will advance money for all land the farmer cares to cultivate, but payment must be made the same year. Through an error in drawing up the bill, or what many suppose is an error, its provisions can not be made to apply to fall planting. The law expressly provides that money can be lent only in the spring months and must be paid back by October. This makes the use of the fund impossi- ble for fall seeding. But this fund will be at the service of all farmers next year and where fall planting has been postponed it is expected spri4g grains will be seeded so that Montana grain men are anticipating the greatest acreage of Montana's history to be seeded when the season opens. LINCOLN'S COUNTY LOYAL Birthplace of Etnancipator Haig No Claim, for Exemption. Washington, Sept. 21—Larue county, Kentucky, the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, has made the rec- ord of furnishing every man drafted for the National Army withc t a sin- gle claim for exemption and without a single rejection for inability. This fact was established through a communication received by Repre- sentative Ben Johnson, a Democrat of Kentucky, in whose district Larne county is located. Johnson says that the county was called upon to furnish 132 men under the draft. The men were all regis- tered, all appeared before the ex- emption board for examination, none claimed exemption from any cause although some of them were entitled to make such claims because of de- pendent families. Life is a game of give and take, and the people who•give the least ad- vice get the most applause. • HEINRICH TALKS COWS TO HOOVER BIG HORN STOCKMAN OWNS SO MANY CATTLE HE CAN'T COUNT THEM.

In 1914 he admitted possessing title to some 26,000 and estimates of his herds have reached as high as 40,- 000. It is probable that he does not know himself just how many cattle he owns, for of recent years, since others became owners of leases to Indian lands on which they pastured he has been shipping vast numbers to . market. For the past 17 years he has watched his herds grow fat and in- crease in numbers on the bunch grass and prairie hay that made the Crow reservation country the last pasture land of the buffalo and the Indians' hunting paradiee. He has proved to be one of the beat stock- men in the west and for years he has topped the Chicago market with straight range cattle. • Frank 31. Heinrich, Who Through Hard Work, Square Dealing and Temperance Became Great Cattle Baron. Farms Large Area. While his heaviest inthrests are in stock raising, he in also a farmer on a large scale, cultivating thousands of acres of rich land in the valleys of the Little Big Horn and the Big Horn and on the non -irrigated hills adjac- ent. His agricultural activities are on such a scale that he would prob- ably prove to be the largest individ- ual farmer in the etate if an investi- gation were made into the number of acres he cultivates. Some of the most model farms in that portion of the state are owned by him. lie is the heaviest taxpayer and the largest in- dividual land owner in Big Horn county. He likes the country and so one seldom sees him in town. He is out on the range, rounding up the cattle, or else on one of his farms overseeing the work. When night time comet he goes to his country home, where is kept a library that would be the joy of any man of culture, refinement and education and there he wiles away the hours, reading the current literature, the daily papers and mag- azines and then taking an excurelon with the old authors into the rare literary worka of the past. He is a great student of history. Butted Into Politics Once When Big Horn county wae created he was named a member of the leg- islature. but politics had no induce- ments for him, he preferred the farm and so refused to be a candidate for reelection. He has three hobbies -- hard work, square dealing and tem- perance. He is on the go from Bun up to suneet and often into the night time. He believes in treating the Indians on the square and in the ter- ritory where hie cattle ranged for years the Indiane are the most pro- gressive and own the largest number and best quality of stock of any in the Crow tribe. He is absoalutely temperate in his habits and will not stand for intem- perance or waste among hie employ- ees. To temperance and a strict ap- plication to his own business, he gives credit for his succees An accident is probably respone- ible for hie attaining fame as a pro- ducer of cattle instead of as a miner. He was born In Dubuque, Ia., in 1$68, and worked on his father's farm until he was 19. The elder Heinrichs were descended from resi- dents of Alsace and Lorraine.

Kalispen--Under the supervision of N. D. Miller, formerly chief engi- neer of the Great Northern, surveys will be made this fall for an electric railroad from South Missoula to the Flathead lake, according to an an- nouncement by Col. A. A. White. Helena — Both of the Montana district exemption boards have adopted resolutione urging the pas- sage of a moratorium for drafted soldiers so that mortgages may not be foreclosed and Judgments taken against them while in the service. Butte --The copper camp has the largest number of eoldiers drafted of any district in the country. There were a total registered of 8,674 and 791 were ordered certified for serv- ice. In other districts in the east where registration was greater . larg- er credits were secured for volun- tary enlistment than in Butte. 1887 he came west and worked as a cowboy around Sheridan, Wyo., and in the country south of Miles City in Montana. Dug Gold in Alaska. In 1896 he left for Alaska and was in Klondike before the rush, where he stood a good chance to make a big clean up. He met with an acci- dent, however, and blood poison set in and he had to return to the 'gates. He had to make the trip overland in the dead of winter and it was only his wonderful constitution, built up through temperance and life in the open, that enabled him to make the trip. He secured his first permit to graze cattle on the Crow reservation in 1900 and commenced stock raleing with a few choice cows. AB his herd grew he leaaed unused por- tions of the reservation until he had hundreds of thousands of acres in his pastures. Then he commenced buying land and now owns some of the choicest sections in eastern Mon- tana. One of hie friends who has watched him accumilate two million dollars worth of live stock and hun- dreds of thousande of dollars worth of land and other property once said Heinrich had been too busy to ever get married. Whether that is the case or not he is still a bachelor. M. N. A.—WU—D-24-17. NOTICE! Hotels and schools, sve can save ' , au 00 per cent on your ink bill. We want you to send for our price list. SECURITY INK WORKS Great Falle, Montana. SILVER CLIMBING UPWARD IN PRICE AGITATION STARTED TO MELT UP VAST SUM OF DOLLARf4 IN TREASURY. Government Could Make Profit on Investment by Malting Bullion Out of Rs Silver HOlird and Supplying Silver Countries From Its Cash In- stead of From Its Mint*. Silver mining continues to receive additional impetus every time the price advances with the result that ord time silver camps in Montana, mines that have been idle for more than a quarter of a century in many instances, are taking on new life and beginning to show signs of activity. The price of the metal in New York has gone above $1.06 per ounce and the prediction is that it will tontinue to rise, unless some special effort is made in some section to bear the market. London, New York and San Francisco . which formerly were the principal silver markets, seem to have lost control of the price and in- land bar silver is bringing larger re- turns for shipment to China, owing to the high Chinese exchange rates. Would Help Reserve Banks. Naturally , with the price going up- ward and, the supply below the de- mand there has come a revival of the agitation, which has lain par- tially dormant since tho upheaval of the early '90s, and which included a proposal to sell the largest part of the 568,270,319 silver dollars. This sale now would not only help the al- lies against whom the price of metal is being driven up, but would be a further step in relegating the whole issue of currency to the federal re- serve banks. The total expenditure by the Unit- ed States for silver bullion, exclusive of silver coinage, has been $464,- 210,263 since 1878, 570,272,610 sil- ver dollars, and $33 118,575 face value of subsidiary cofn were minted therefrom. Allowing for seinorage and for the nine -tenth fineneps on the subsidiary coin, the 570,272,- 610 silver dollars were coined from $434,403,546 worth of silver bul- lion. This would bring the average cost of silver in the dollar to the United States government slightly over 76 cents for each dollar coined. As the value of pure silver in a sil- ver dollar at 9,8 cents an ounce is 75.8 cents and ft $1 an ounce 77.3 cents, the price of fine silver has reached a point where the govern- ment could make a sale without loss. Dollar Demand Limited. Of the total issue of 568,270,319 silver dollars outstanding on Decem- ber 31 last, only about 65,000,000 were in circulation. The balance or about 600,000,000 were held in the treasury as metal reserve for an equal amount of silver certificates, taking up 125,000 cubic feet of space which are needed for gold storage. Allowing for an expansion demand of about 10 per cent 460,- 000,000 silver dollars could eaelly be released and a permanent gold back- ing of 76 per cent or better could be given to the silver certificates or other suitable paper currency of like amount. Considering the fact that the world's production was 172,383,000 ounces of silver in 1916, of which the United States produced 72,833,000 ounces, the hoard of $450,000,000 available for the remelting would throw about 350,000,000 ounces of silver on the market.
