GEYSER JUDITH BASIN TIMES • CANADIAN COOPS EXCELLENT Eet Pilling Tourists Speak Well of Their Treatment in Canada. The Canadian Government, having Made extensive preparations during the last few years to impart to the National Park system a degree of com- fort and pleasure to the visitor, com- bining the best efforts of man with the very best gifts of creation, has now the satisfaction of seeing an apprecia- tion of the efforts they have made. Tourists returning from a trip over the Canadian Pncitic, the Grand Truuk Pacific and the Canithan Northern railways speak enthusiastically of the .beauties that are revealed as these roads enter mad pass through the mountains. The Government has spent enormous sums of money laying out roads, and developing easy means of access to glacier, hill, valley, lake and stream. For what purpose? That the wonders that Canada possesses in its natural parks may become more easily accessible and afterward talked about, that a tourist travel through 01111141a would result. Tourist travel mewls business, and it is business that Can- ada seeks. To make it even more easy for this travel, the Government has taken pains to make every step of the tourist's entry Intl) Canada one that will give the very least degree of trou- ble. On crossing the border, there is only the ordinary eventuation of bag- gage. and the only precaution is that in the case of foreign aliens, and even in their case there is no difficulty When the officials are satisfied that they are not at entry as ene- mies. Although efficials of the Government have taken every means to bring to the attention of the tourist and others that no diffieulty could be placed in the way of their admission, there still remelted doubt in the minds of some, Only the other day the 4;010111111VIII t4114: action again, and nit Iiio ri Zed the statement that no measures taken for recruiting the fturces either have been 'or veili lie to any persons who are lint enlinarily resident in the Do- minion.

More- over, the Military Service Act, under svhich conscription is applied in Great Britnin, affects only persons \ordinar- ily resident In Great Britain.\ Americans and British subjects resi- dent in the United States who de- sire to visit Canada will find no more trouble at the border than they have experienced in the past, and ii on ar- riving they will be made as welcome as ever. War conditions of any kind AVill not inconvenience or interfere with them.

Brown, aged 54, for a quarter of a century employed by the Northern Pacific, was foully murdered between Glendive and Bill- ings. He was in charge of Northern Pacific train No. 4, and a drunken man picked a fight when Brown collected the tick- ets. Later the man, whose name is un- known, walked up behind Brown as he was seated checking up receipts, and struck him a terrific blow on the head, with a full beer bottle. The conductor's skull was terribly crushed, and he died instantly. The murder- er was seized by the passengers, and delivered to the officers at Glendive. GREAT CATTLE SHOW AT FAIR Management Preparing to Add New Barns For Exhibits. Helena—With a large number of in- quiries regarding space reservations already received by the secretary of the Montana state fair, which will be held at Helena Sept., 25-30, the cat- tle show at the fair this year promises to be the best both in point of entries and quality of exhibits that has yet been seen in the state. Last year created a new record up to that time, there being 559 animals shown. This year, however, in spite of the fact that the fair is still two mouths distant, so many inquiries have been made that the management Is preparing to add two 200 -foot barns of 40 stalls each in order to accom- modate the expected entries.

Chamboi ii of Commerce and Assoole. eons Throughout State Send Pre. tests to Delegation In Congress. Helena.—The Helena inoicitil club has sent to the Montana deluge. (ion in congress a protest against the copper tax in the Kitchin revenue bill. This action follows a similar atop by the Butte chamber of commerce. The local protest says the proposed copper tax places an unequal burden on that industry. Montana is up in arms against that provision of the administration reve- nue bill which proposes to levy a ape. dal tax, on raw copper. The Butte chamber of commerce drew up a pro- test against the contemplated action and forwarded the protest to the Mon- tana representatives in Washington and the United States chamber of commerce at Washington. The Butte Rotary club drew up similar protest and forwarded it to Washington, and other chambers and associations throughout the state have done likewise. Discrimination against the copper industry in a manner which would ser- iously affect tlie prosperity of the state, is the basis of all the protests. STATE MAY CELEBRATE ADMISSION TO UNION Movement Started for Observance of Anniversary—Governor May be Asked to issue Proclamation. Ilelena.—Montana on November 8, 1916, will have a state-wide celebration of its ati11111181011 in the sisterhood of states if plans now under considera- tion by the Commercial club can be carried out. \It is my intention at the next meet- ing of the Commercial club to bring the question before that body with a view to having Governor S. V. Stewart declare a state-wide holiday and hav- ing a big celebration at some point within the state when people could be informed of the scenic beauties, the wealth, resouces, growth and opportun- ities in Montana, said Dr. Itheem. The idea of having each state cele- brate each year its admission into the union, originated with A. I.. Sommers, president of the Wisconsin Association of Commercial' Secretaries, and sec- retary of the Sheboygan Association of Commerce. MORE MINISTERS FOR STATE Lutherans Decide to Add to Force in Missionary Field. Butte.—Four more ministers to la- bor in the missionary. fields of Montana and $3,000 added to the $18,000 appro- priation for that work in Montana, are announced by the Rev. Martin Huth- loff, who returned to Butte well satis- fied with the results of the North Da- kota and Montana district conference of the Evangelical Lutheran cchurch. The conference was held under the auspices of the Missouri synod, which is the largest Lutheran synod in the United States and has 3,000 ministers and more than 1.000,000 members. The synod has 27 ministers in Montana. The meeting was held at Hillsboro, N. D., and was attended by 78 delegates. Montana Protests Copper Tax. Butte.—From every part of Montana a protest has been directed to the state's delegation in Congress against that part of the general revenue meas- ure that proposes a special tax upon the copper ruining industry. Under the act the business of copper mining and refining is classified with the 1111111- ufacturing and sale of munitions of war. Fire Wipes Out Seven Saloons, Ilismarck.—The seven sallons 'des- troyed by the lire which threatened to wipe out the village of Mondak, Mont., may not be rebuilt because of the possibility of the adoption of state- wide prohthition at the next election in that state. The fire started in a livery barn and wiped out an entire block. The loss is estimated at 130,000. Montana Flyer Sets Record. Great Falls.—Clifford NV. I'rodger, son of J. H. Prodgtur of Fife, who went In the service of the British govern- ment last year as instructor of the flying corps, went 7,000 feet into the air, carrying twenty passengers, in his 501) horse -power machine.

Havre.—The fourth day of the stam- pede, with Governor Stewart guest of honor, was attended by about 5,000 persons. The newly -organized Havre rangers escorted Governor Stewart and party to the stampede grounds. Montana Grain in Good Condition. Great Pella—That the grain crop for this iiart of Montana is in reason- ably good condition and will yield well, though hilt as high as 191.r, is the pre- diction of Jared Watkins, tune of the experienced elevator men of Montana who has been in ill() 17raln business for more than a dozen years. Mr. Watkins believes that mans of the sections will have 148 good a yield as last year but the entire state will fall far short of 1916 because. he says, that was a then nomenal crop year. He says the bis shortage will be one In acreage, PEOPLE TO VOTE ON BOXING BILL PETITIONS SEEKING TO SUBMIT TWO OTHER LAWS FAIL TO GET SIGNATURES. IILI - UfiNS DEPOSITS ON BONDS State Treasurer Campliea With For. .mal Demand Made by Women of. Woodcraft—Final Chapter iii Case is Believed to be Closed Helena. Montana voters will have the priv- ilege at the November election to de- cide whether they will initiate but one law out of three which it was proposed to be subniitted. This is the law to permit boxing matches. The two which will not be submitted were to loan pub- lic school money on farm mortgages anti to tax mine revenues. The time in which the petitions could be submitted has expired. The number of signatures required was 6.3S3 from not less than 17 counties. The boxing bill was signed by 7,500 voters. The mine tax bill received the next highest number, 4,345, about 2,000 short of the required number. The farm loan measure was short more than 4,000 signatures, being signed in round numbers by 2,000. * * * Returns Deposits on Bonds. What is declared to be the final chan- ter in the efforts of A. D. Stillman to put the farm loan law, enacted by the last legislature, into successful opera- tion, was made when State Treasurer NV. C. Rae returned to the Women of Woodcraft the $100,000 which this or- der had conditionally deposited through Mr. Stillman for the purchase af the first issue of farm loan bonds, their purchase being conditionally up- on Stillman's approval. A formal de- mand was made upon the state treasur- er for the return of the money in view of the fact that the constitution of the Women of 'Woodcraft will not permit the order to invest in securities other than national state, and school and city bonds. * * * To Prevent Epidemic. Dr. NV. F'. Cogswell, secretary of the state board of health, huts issued a cir- cular letter calling the attention of physicians anl health officers to the rules of the board relating to infantile\ paralysis. They provide that those suf- fering from the disease must be isolat- ed and the room in which the pati- ent is confined must be thoroughly screened against files. The regulations also provide that the house in which a patient suffering from the disease is confined must bear a placard stat- ing the fact. local and county health officers are. requested to report any cases coming to their attention by telephone or wire collecct. \It is pretty generally recognized now,\ said the circular, \that the virus is present in the nasopharynx of the patients and that normal carriers are not uncommon. Infected nasal dis- charges, therefore, probably consti- tute the common vehicle of spreading the infection. Great care should be exercised in the proper disposal of succh discharges.\ * * * State Falls to Prove Charge. The supreme court has affirmed the judgment of the district court of Teton county dismissing the action brought by the state against the Rocky Nioun- Lain Elevator company, in which the company was charged with violation of the anti-discrimination law. The opinion, which was written by Asso- ciate Justice Holoway, says the court does not pass upon the validity of the act, but it does say the first section of the law appears to be meaningless. It was alleged that the Rocky Moun- tain company paid more for wheat at Choteau than it did at Dutton, and it was proved, and because of this the state charged that the Rocky Mountain Elevator company u - as guilty of violat- ing the anti-discrimination law. But this the supreme court holds the Mate failed to prove. * * * Light Apple Crop in Valley. Orchardists of the Yellowstone val- ley will harvest only about one-third of a crop this fail, according to Dep- uty State Horticulturist R. E. Bancroft. The severe winter just passed has either kill I iii,'Xt. trees or this year's crops and the damage will run into thousands of dollars. Mr. Bancroft says. Apple orchards have been par- ticularly hard hit. lie says. The same conditions prevail to a greater or less- er extent in all apple growing sections. * * * No Entrance Fee at Races. No entrance fee will be charged en- trants in the harness events at the Montana State Pair this year, ac- co rding to an announcement just ma de by Ileorge S. k Iotz, racing liec- rotary of the fair.

Save the Babies. I NFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in eivilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one -quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-eeven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one- If before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tincturee and soothing syrups Bold for children's complaints contain more or lees opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the akin and allays fever. Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of PAT ROSE TO THE OCCASION Lookout's Appeal Did Not Fall on Deaf Ears, as Far as Irish- man Was Concerned.
