Frustrat- ed in théir attempt to rob the First, State Bank of Hewitt, 25 miles north- west of here, the bandits were just entering Long Prairie when Marshal Williams, in attempting to effect their capture, was shot and sinstantly killed by one of their! number. Deputy Sheriff Adams, accompany- ing Williams, opened fire on the ban- dits ‘asthey abandoned their auto- mobile and fled into’the woods that 1 skirts the river to the north, but there is no evidence that any of the oulaws were hit.

Answering a telephone call fron: Hewitt, which told of the attempt to rob the bank and that four robbers were headed in this direction, Mar- shal Williams and Deputy Sheriff ‘Adams went out from here to block a bridge the: fleeing men would have to cross. When the machine carrying the robbers approached the bridge, Williams jumped onto the running board and ordered the men to hold up their hands, One of the bandits re- plicd with’a shot,\kiNing the marshal instantly.

In many ways Mon- tana is still a region of the old west with vast unoccupied areas waiting for practical farmers to turn them into profit making farms. The editors have seen thousands of acres of producing land where{ wheat will average from thirty to fifty bushels to the acre. In fact the average production of wheat for the entire state is estimated at twenty- bushels to the acre this year. There are vast fields of alfalfa, barley, rye,| flax and even corn. There is’ no! question now but that the corn in Montana will be tremendously large.| An amazing thing to North Dakota| editors is that there is so much room| remaining in Montana, so’ many po-'! tential farms which may be had for low ‘prices almost everywhere in.the! state. i Since entering Montana the Nation-! al Editors association delegates have! been royally entertained everywhere. | Glendive, Miles City, Billings, Boze- man, Helena, Butte, Missoula, Kalis- pel and many smaller cities have wel- comed the visitors. The most prom- ising farming regians seen up until now are the Yellowstone Valley near Billings, the Gallatin Valley around Bozeman, the Helena Valley which comes right up to the edge of Helena, the Bitter Root Valley and the Flat- head Valley in Western Montana. Here farming has been developed: on many farms to a most profitable state and many of the: farmers-report- that; they! have paid ‘fot their Properties | with a single crop. ‘In western, Mon- tana the fruits and potatoes are’in| splendid © condition: and producing} abundantly. Yellowstone Park fulfilled all ex-| pectations of the editors. The, mighty geysers among richly colored can- yons,, gigantic water falls and vol- canic freaks, of many‘ kinds ‘startled the party with their beauty. Yel- lowstone is a region’ of yolcanic won- dors and has also the spectacular, mountain scenery so characteristic of the Rockies. Yellowstone has all of the marvels of gll she other national parks except the big trees of Se- quoia, and this is the reason that so many Americans continue to 4isit Yellowstone year after year and is the reason why one hundred thousgnd will pass through the park this ye son. Throughout the entire trip the Edi- tors Special has been ‘efficiently | handled by the Northern Pacifie and| the wonderful organization of this line has impressed the editors in spite of the fact that it has been handicapped through the strike of shopmen and kindred crafts. -'The trains have been kept moving on time all the way and service has been up to the Northern Pacific standard.

Commission CONTROL WITHIN STATE If District Court Order Is Va- cated State Body May Make Adjustments Another step in the -program. of the state railroad commission to re- gain control of interstate freight ratés has been taken. The “Inter- state Commerce Commission has formally vacated its order directed. against the North Dakota commis- sion in the rail rate cases, in which the state commission had refused to sanction increases ordered by the interstate body. The effect of the action, according to V. E. Smart, traffice expect of the commission, is to remove one more barrier in the: way of regained con- trol of intrastate rates by “the state commission, There is still a United States district . court injunction against the state commission which probably will have to be vacated. The state commission, thus, will have power to make adjustments in freight rates within North Dakota so long as there is no interference with interstate commerce. In such. event the Interstate Commerce Com- mission will step in and annul the order. Control of passenger rates is not obtained by the state commis- sion. i: The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion has for sometime been making these orders for individual states following an agreement: by, the. Na- tional Association of Railroad Com- missioners to cooperate with the Interstate body. While the state commission reeog- nizes the control of*the Interstate Commerce Commission and vacates its previous order against increased rail rates orders, it may obtain much’ power over rates within the state. The Interstate Commerce Commission’s order. was regarded as a formality, and it was on the ex- pectation of regaining intrastate control that the conference on lig- nite rates was called. 4 The conference, scheduled for August 2, has been changed to:Aug- ust 6 FARGO CASE SET Fargo, N.

The government, Mr. Hoover stated, is not re-establishing the old time fuel administration sys- tem, but is chiefly concerned in the equitable distribution of coal, ‘The plans for emergency will be sent to the states, practically all of which have responded to sthe coal committee’s appeal, Mr. © Hoover said. States far from coal centers, he declared, must be accorded greater transporta- tion facilities than those nearer the producing fields.

MANY. T0 BE OFFERED Lignite Coal Mines Will Take on Large Number of Men in Near Future { Employment for. several hundred men will be offered in lignite coal mines.in North Dakota within the next month, many mines preparing to operate at as full a capacity as possible. With a rush of orders beginning to come in, one large coal company has dispatched an agency to congested centers in search of labor. ‘A request from Irvan Bowen, Min- nesota state fuel administrator, to Governor Nestos for location and quantity of lignite coal which may be purchased have been communicated to lignite operators. Shipments of coal into Minnesota have increased rapidly within the last two weeks, according to reports to operators. John F. Sullivan of Mandan, who is interested in lignite mining, said today that he believed North Dakota lignite coal’ mines could ship. 100 cars a day out of the state and still supply all the needs of North Dakota. This capacity may be increased under pressure, he estimated. é Other developments. in the lignite coal situation include word from | President Harding to the effect that he endorsed the proposal of Gover- nor Nestos that the lignite coal min- ing industry be made a separate classification so that miners and operators may deal with each other on the basis of conditions in this industry rather thai, afso upon condi- tions in th¢e-central competitive, fleld in which conditions ate held to be ‘vastly different. : The.state. railroad commission an- noufices that the hearing’ on’ tignite coal rates,, scheduled for August 2, has been postponed until August 9, when the matter of alleged discrim- inations within North Dakota will bé taken up. It, is expected that the Interstate Commerce Commission will shortly take up the question of pro- viding lower rates for lignite coal in interstate shipment. A survey, of ‘all the lignite coal mines in the state is being made by Governor ‘Nestos with a view, of de- termining the possibilities for in@ creasing mine capacity.

Plan a Secret , The fpresident’s plans were not made public. It became made known from authoritative sources however that it embraced settlement of all strikers’ grievances except the wage question which would be submitted to the labor board for a rehearing. Under the plan as outlined, the president’s stand for recognition of the rights of men now at work would be carried out. Union shopmen who did not strike would be placed at the head of the railroads’ seniority lists, which means that they would be as- sured of permanent work, since in slack time the workers at the foot of the lists are the first laid off. Union shopmen who went on strike would be placed next on the lists and after them would come the men hired by the roads since the strike began. No mention was made ofthe pen- sion rights and it was not learned whetheg this ‘question has, been. in- cluded jn the president’s plan, Wages to Labor Board The wage question would be left to the labor board, the; striking shop- men, to recognize the board’s wage reduction decision and return to work with the assurance their case would receive prompt attention by the \board,!Jn addition the, adminis- tration is understood to have assured the shopmen it, will make every ef- fort to have labor sections of the Esch-Cummins .-bill. amended so that the labor board may be direct- ed to fix the pay of the workers on a “living wage” basis.
