DISABLED MEN WIN HONORS Reports from the University of Montana show that the standing of the U. S. Veterans Bureau trainees, for the winter quarter, reached the highest mark *thus far, at that in- stitution. Among the regular stu- dents 12-21 per cent won places on the Honor Roll, while 16.66 per cent of. the Veterans Bureau trainees won that honor. In order'tobe eligible for a place on the Honor Roll, in any quarter, a student should have at least 33 grade points for the quarter with no grades as low as “E” or “F”, and no credit deduction for absence. That these disabled men “put over” near 4 1-2 per cent more of their group, in, winning these Nipritee places, than did the regular students, furnishes a striking il- lustration of the fact that they ap- preciate and make good: use of the opportunity affordéd the mby the Veterans Bureau to become rehabil- itated. In the matter of “grade points,” the Veterans Bureau trainecs aver- cent; hes 72 last year. The acreage of oats is 41,6: or 101.9 per cent of last yea of barley 7,552,000 acres, or 95 5/10 per cent of last year. The acreage (in thousands) con- dition on June 1 and forecast of production (in thousands) i. e. 000, omitted, of bushels of spring wheat in North Dakota. GEO.

REVIVE RAIL EXTENSION Iron Ore Deposits Reported Near Fort Yates Ft. Yates, N. D., June. 9—The question of laying the steel ‘on the railroad grade from Cannon Bal} to Fort Yates has again been revived, this time by farmers living across the river in Emmons county. These farmers east of the river, according to H. H. Ellsworth, traveling freight agent for the Northern Pacific, who was here yesterday, have petitioned the Northern Pacific “asking that the construction of a railroad to Fort Yates be completed, that they might have a nearer shipping point to which they could haul their in and produce. Ellsworth has now visited both sides of the river and has sthered much information and exact data with which to support his reccommendation that the rail- road be completed into Fort Yates. On some farms east, of the river, he found grain stored in granaries from the last three years. Another factor which may help to hasten the coming of the) railroad is that Northern Pacific chemists have recently analyzed samples of the vast iron ore deposits south of Fert Yates and have declared them of commercial value. SKELETONS ARE UNCOVERED Linton, N. D., June 9.—Adam Mit- zel who has been doing some exca- vating for a culvert two miles north of Pollock just this side of the Em- mons county line, brought to town part of a skeleton unearthed by his.| © crew, He reported that there ap- peared to be four skeletons side by side, but no metal trinkets, or other articles found which might in- dicate what the skeletons were. How- ever, it is possible that they were Indian bodies and may have been buried by troops after some early-day skirmish with Indians. Adam Mitzel and son, Joe, Dave Krieg and Fred Ochsner were members of the ¢rew that found the skeletons. They had only just started digging, and they believed that they might unearth fur- ther evidences’ of what the bodjes ive phase, of the agitation, it w agreed, cannot continue more th two or three weeks. Regardless of that forecast, ever, efforts to extend the boycott against: ‘things could be observed today. how Japar tions of members of — the Forward Soc the organi which arranged Saturday _ night’ demonstration at the Imperial Ho: tel, visited the “larger departmen' stores, trying to persuade the store not to sell American merchandise.

DIES FROM TRACTOR HURTS Dickinson, N.,D., June 9—Terribly crushed under the wheels of a trac- tor which he was operating on his farm near Sentinel Butte, W. L. Wright, prominent resident off that community, died at St. Joseph’s hospital in this city after three days of suffering. Mr, Wright was plowing with the tractor when the accident occurred. Something went prong with the plow and as he stepped from the driver's seat to adjust it, his clothing caught in the drive wheels, pulling him beneath the heavy machine which passed over his body. Several ribs were broken and ‘he apareined severe internal injuries. Following the accident he malked te his home. He was rushed to Sentinel Butte for medica] aid. For a ‘time his injuries were not con- sidered serious. Later that day his condition became critica! and he was brought to the local hospital.

SENATE FAILS TO PASS BILLS | IN LAST HOURS) Filibuster by Senator Pittman Over Reclamation Bill i Halts Action NUS MONEY LOST! Washington, June 9.—Congress| ended its six months session Satur- night in an atmosphere of con tréversy and turmoil of the bitter dissen marked star Western senators and representa- tives in the final hours of the ses- sion fought and lost a desperate fight for legislation to relieve the farmer and to reform the reclama- tion policy of the government. Many other measures, including ; the bill authorizing construction of eight new cruisers and moderniza- tion of battleships, and the deficien cy appropriation bill, carrying funds to begin operations of the bonus law and for many other purposes, failed in the final crush of legisla- tion when the session ended auto- matically at 7 p. m. Bonus Appropriation Lost Not only did the deficiency bill go down in defeat in the race against time but the special resolution pa: ed in the last five minutes of the © to make the bonus appropria- ailable regardless, was lost in y characteristic in which proceedings has the its from ithe nate, Republican leaders declared that only a special session of congr could provide the necessary funds for the initial costs of the compen- ation measure. » The deficiency bill itself was blocked at the last minute by Sen- ator Pittman, Democrat, Nevada, be- cause of the omission of a reclama- tion appropriation proposed by him, and action on the emergency bonus resolution was prevented by objec- tions by Senators Borah, Republi- n, Idaho, and Kipg, Democrat, Utah. The postal salaries increase bill, passed by ‘both senate and house by almost unanimous votes, also went by the board when President Cool- idge vetoed it on the ground that it was “extravagant.” No effort) to call it up for repassage was made in the short time remaining. Oil. Fight Again Up A renewal of the teapot dome de- bate in the senate, growing out of a futile effort by Senator Walsh of Montana, to secure approval of the majority report of the oil committee, tied up business at the. end of the capitol most of the afternoon. The house cleaned up many minor bills but spent most of the day quarrelling ®ver the reclamation leg- islation- which had been attached by the senate to,the deficiency bill. The principal fé&tures of the ad- ministration’s reclamation plan fin- ally were accepted, but other chan- ges were made to which the senate would not agree. _Among the mourners over the un- usually painful demise of the session was the senate Daugherty commi tee, whose, plans to resume sessions in midummer went awry becawse Chairman Brookhart failed to ob- tain opportunity to call up an au-|bor, are regarded as. likely, thorizing resolution drafted for that| wet purpose. | midst | pointed {den shadow | effect ‘LOWDEN FAILS TO STOP SOME OF SUPPORTERS Statement, However, Gives Hope to Other Bodies Boom- ing The Candidates PLATFORM I PLANNED To Be Built in Cleveland, Says Chairman, Considering White House Views Cleveland, 0., June 9—Former Gov- ernor Frank O.

Convention leaders who have help- ed in driving the Lowden candidacy into what was generally regarded as je commanding position recognize that | his announcement that he would not jaecent the nomination, coming in the of an attack on him from | opposing Illinois factions, had re- | duced the likelihood of placing him on the ticket, but they were not agreed us to the extent of this re- duction, Some of the boomers thought himself from the but others out that announce- ment had been made in the past by former he Governor's had removed men who later became Vice-Presi- dents id most of them were in- clined, as they phrased it, “to buss around” for a day or so watching the political cauldron to see whether nd where—the diffused sentiment ht chrystalli Other Booms Kise Meanwhile, the booms rose, or at least appeared higher with the Low- removed, and a pumber of dark horses became less dark. Much speculation centered on the the. Lowden statement might have on the chances of Charles G. Dawes. Nevertheless, the various camps did hot sit still to make sure that op- portunity would find them in if it knocked, they followed the more prac- I rule of going after opportun the Dawes sponsors stepped a little more briskly regardless ef warnings out factions, and supporters of s or Curtis of Kansas register- ed increased uctivity while delegates who would like to see Senator Burah of Idaho on the ticket, expressed encouragement over word from Wash- ington that he might reconsider his statement that he would not accept the nomination, Similar increase in hope also was shown among the friends of Secretary Hoover after the val from the capital of Rep.

Much stalk also centered about Charles B. Warren, ambassador to Mexico, and chairman of the resolutions committee, and the names of Senator Wesley L. Jones of Washington and Governor Dixon of Montana have been added to the list. Mr, Warren’s arrival yesterday was followed by confirmation of state- mgnts that although material was on hand from Washington and some of jit represented the views of the ad- ministration, the platform would be built in Cleveland, after a hearing probably Wednesday, of interested parties.
