GEYSER JUDITH BASIN TIMES In Montana Important Doings of Past Few Days Throughout the State. Edited and Arranged for Our Headers. RANGERS EQUAL CANADIANS Yellowstone Park Superintendent De- clares Uncle Sam's Troopers Just as Worthy of Praise. Livingeton.—All the romantic glam- of and hero worship that Americana have lavished on the Canadian Mount- ed police can be given to troopers of Uncle Sam's National park rangers, declares Colonel L. M. Brett, superin- tendent of Yellowstone park, who Is engaged in building up the ranger ser- vice and training its men. Colonel Brett, who is an army of- ficer, admits the rangers may not have to contend with some of the dangers that cross the path of the mounted police, but he believes they deserve boosting by magazine writers as much as their Canadian brothers. \To be able to render the best ser- vice in patrolling, the park ranger must be properly armed, mounted and clothed. He must feel that his weap- ons are superior to those in the hands of any outlaw whom he may oppose; his mount must be swifter, and his clothing adequate to protect him against the rigors of climate,\ said Colonel Brett. \A park ranger about to start on kis journey, in addition to his arms, his horse and equipment, should have a piece of canvas with which he can make a canvas shelter against any weather; rations ample for the jour- ney, cooking utensils, field glasses, a map of his park and contiguous terri- tory, compass, notebook, pencil, ax, Brstaid packet and telephone tester. As soon as he leaves the range sta- tion he becomes a scout who must LBO his wits and energy against those whose life is spent in the open. \Men who will lend themselves con- scientiously to this work are not corn - .ion, and in their raining it is of great- osi. importance that their faculties of observation be cultivated to the limit.\ THROW GOLD FROM WINDOW Alleged Thieves Scatter Coins When Detected —$2,500 Recovered — $1,000 in Diamonds Missing. Butte.—Robbers entered the room of John Gurry, state agent of a \punch board\ concern,. at the Butte hotel, at midnight, and stole $3,500 in $2.50 gold pieces and $1,000 worth of diamonds. A chambermaid who saw two men enter Gurry's room called the police. James Bourgoyne and Thomas Costel- lo were arrested in Bourgoyne's apart- ments in the same hotel, but not un- til after the police had burst in the door. In the meantime the pair had drop- ped enough gold pieces in the hotel court to fill a wash bowl and water pitcher, all of which the police recov- ered. While being taken to police head- quarters the men attempted to escape, and there was another sprinkling of gold coins. A crowd assisted the po- lice in recovering the money. At the station $100 in gold pieces was found in one of the suspects' shoes, and $40 more in the socks of the other, making a total of $2,500 re- covered. The diamonds have not been found. POSTOFFICE FOR KALISPELL Federal Government Orders Sit?. Selec- ted For Building Cleared— $100,- 000 Appropriated For Purpose. Kalslpell.—Postmaster Sam Hilburn Is in receipt of a communication from the postmaster general at Washington, stating that the building had been or- dered removed within 60 days from the site selected for a federal building in this city. The site is at the corner of First avenue east and Second street. The letter to Mr. Hilburn did not state what the program is, but it is naturally causing a great deal of con- jecture, and many are of the opinion that it means the commencement of excavation and construction this fall. An appropriation of $100,000 ,was made by congress in 1910 for the con- struction of a federal building in Kal- ispell. County Wins 39 Premiums. Helena.—Lewis and Clark county won 39 premiums in the agricultural division at the state fair according to a compilation made by A. L. Flynn, su- perintendent of the county exhibit. Of this number 15 were first premiums while the others were seconds and thirds. Bullets Through Heart: Suicide? Butte.—Butte authorities are wrest- ling with the problem of whether it Is possible for a man committing sui- cide to fire two bullets through his heart. The body of Roblane Giacoma, a youth, was found in a vacant lot with two clean bulletholes through his heart. A revolver lay near the body' with two chambers empty. A note un- signed said it was the writer's inten- tion to kill himself, as he was lonely and weary of the world. It is sup- posed to be a case of suicide, hat offi- cers are investigating. PHENOMENAL WHEAT YIELD New Record For Montana Claimed On Ranch Near Manhattan ---Rain Delay Harvesting. liczeinum—A phenomenal yield of winter wheat is reported on the Rich- ard Quint ranch west of Manhattan. An average yield per acre of 81 bush- els is claimed in a field of 32 acres of Turkey red wheat. This figure will establish a new record for Montana. H. W. Radford, in charge of a threab- tug machine and outfit, is authority for the report. The field had been threshed over with the exception of one acre. The total yield from the field 80 far is enough to average 80 bushels per acre, and the remainder will raise the average, according to Mr. RadfOrd. The same outfit recently threshed out 135 acres for G. S. Black, near Manhattan, which averaged well above 40 bushels per acre, and a part yield- ed 57 bushels. Harvesting is being de- layed in Gallatin county by the rain. One rancher estimates 4 per cent of the grain has been threshed up to date. PRESBYTERIANS TO MEET Ministers and Lay Members to At- tend Annual Synod—Program Is Extensive. Ilelena.—Ministers and lay members of the Presbyterian churches of Mon- tana will be in Helena to attend the annual synod of Montana which con- venes at the Fffst Presbyterian church. The local members of the church are expecting nearly 300 dele- gates to the meeting and extensive plans are being made for their enter- tainment. The question of home missions is one of the most important subjects to be considered by the synod and several talks will be male on this question as well as the reports of officers. An extensive program has been ar- ranged which will include addresses by Presoyterian ministers from out side the state. Suicide Wrote Will On Hat. Lewistown.—In the land contest of Stever 0. Fjernstad against the home- stead entry of the late Willard Bald- win, Walter J. Winnett appears as in- tervenor. Baldwin went suddenly in- sane in the Winnett section last year and although he thought highly of Mr. Winnett, for whom he worked, he burned down a stable and sheep sheds belonging to him. He then left a note of warning against pursuit and started off, heav!ly armed. Citizens succeed- ed in surrounding him while he was hiding. Baldwin seemed to recover his senses and realize what he had done, as he wrote his will on the rim of his hat and left everything he owned to Mr. Winnett. lie then shot himself. It is on the strength of this remarkable will that Mr. 1Vinnett comes into the contest. W. C. T. U. Elects Officers. Livingston.—The state convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance union came to a close here with the election of then following officers: President, Mrs. Mathew W. Alderson, Helena; general vice president, Mrs. Ira 0. Snell, Lewistown; correflpond- ing 3ecretary, Mrs. Cora M. Marsh, Kalispell; recording secretary, Mrs. W. II. L. Marshall. Columbus; treas- urer, Mrs. W. C. Dawes, Bozeman; ed- itor, Mrs. Alice Barnes Hoag, Helena. The convention made definite plans for waging a campaign for state prohibi- tion which will be voted next fall. Among the speakers were Mrs. Ross H. Schachner of St. Louis and Mrs Edith Smith Davis of Milwaukee. Sophomore Class Defends Flag. Bozeman.—One thousand keenly ex- cited spectators saw the sophomore class of the college drag the strug- gling freshmen through the cold wa- ter and slimy weeds of the historic frog pond in the ninth annual tug of war and then watched the second - year men make their victory. complete by successfully defending their class pennant, 30 feet high, on the glazed flag pole, from attack from the \year- lings\ for 30 minutes. But the second - year men have little to gloat over in their flag -pole contest, for the rules of the uneven contest made the new- comers' task virtually an impossible one. Sheridan Co. \Drys\ Persistent. Plentywood.— Even though the \drys\ In Sheridan county failed to get the county commissioners to grant a special election, it does not appear that the crusade against saloons has ended by any means. S. J. Freithelm, a Synod Lutheran minister of this city and a leader of the \drys\ is out with a circular letter which declares the \wets\ secured their withdrawal peti- tions through misrepresentation and fraud, and that the fight against the antoons has just started. There is some talk of the \drys\ appealing from the action of the commissioners in re- fusing the special election. Many Seek Montana Judgeship. Plentywood.—The judgeship of the seventeenth judicial district, compris- ing the counties of Sheridan, Valley and Phillips, over which Frank II. Ut- ter of Glasgow presides, will be sought by Utter, John Hurley of Glasgow. T. W. Greer of Plentywood and County Attorney Paul Babcock of Sheridan county, while it Is expected C. E.

Two old ml sera of Tokyo were one day discussing ways and means of saving. \I manage to make a fan last about twenty years,\ said one. \and this is my system: I don't wastefully open the whole fan and wave it carelessly. I open only one section at a time. That is good for about a year. Then I open the next, and so on until the fan is eventually used up.\ \Twenty years for a good fan!\ ex- claimed the other. \What sinful ex- travagance! In ray family we use a fan for two or three generations, and this is how we do it: We open the whole fan, but we don't wear it out by waving it. Oh, no! We hold it still, like this, under our nose, and wave our face!\—Everybody's. Just as He Had Said. \You remember selling me some hair -restorer when I called the other day to get shaved, you hoary -headed old thief?\ roared the indignant cus- tomer. \You sold it under false pre- tenses, sir You said it would restore thy head to Its or!ginal condition.\ \Well didn't it work?\ asked the barber. \Work? No. It's taken off what lit- tle hair I used to have, and I am as bald as the pavement now\ \That's quite right, sir. No false pretense about that. I said it would restore your head to its original condi- tion, and you know, sir, most of us are born bald.\ The password to the Tower of Lon don is changed every threa months.

When the youngster smashed a bottle he received a \tickey\ threepenny bit) from the natives.
