M. Jardine’s speech delivered at Mandan July 4, is on page 6 of this issue of the Tribune. Farmers of the Northwest can look for no program of agricultural relief to be enacted during the next session of Congress, William M. Jardine, sec- retary of agriculture, told a huge Independence Day audience at Man- dan Saturday. “Anything that Congres’ may ac- complish in the way of farm relief you may regard as a Christmas gift dine declared. “There is _ little that Congress can do. The farmer must work out his own future by co- operation in marketing and by more efficient management.” The Secretary of Agriculture warned the grain exchanges that sharp price fluctuations, due to reck- less speculation, must voluntarily cease, or the department of agricul ture will intervene with a regulatory regime capable of coping with the situation. cretary Jardine stressed mer- dising as the paramount need of present-day agriculture. Farming Is Business “Farming ine stated. “It hly complicated and specialized business. As a busi- ne must be conducted along ef- ficient lines, if it suce Wasteful m and perhaps in failure, surely as in other business.” Fitting production to the needs of the market was the solution offered by Jardine for the instability of the market for farm products. “Our wheat acreage has been re- duced in six years from 75,000,000 to 54,000,000 acres. This reduction was made because farmers saw that too much wheat was being raised. . . The farmer must study his market quite as carefully as he studies his farm operations. He must know the needs of local, regional, national, and even world markets if he is to coi duct his business along most profi able lines. Wins Applause Secretary Jardine, muscular and weather-beaten, from years of farm labor in Idaho, spoke in i staccata tones. A man of inci personality, he won great rounds of applause from his hearers by his frank, straight-from-the-shoulder, manner of speech. He held loosely to the theme of 8," Jardine FORT PIERRE 1.1 Saturday. RED ENVOY to be trying to overnment officials ‘avorably on recognition of t regime.

But, there is little like- lihood of adoption of any effective program of farm legislation. You may regard anything Congress may do as a Christmas gift. “I hope as secretary of agriculture to do something, but I realize as perhaps no one else can realize how little can be done for agriculture through government aid. Farmers must be made to understand that they have got to skin their own skunks, The government cannot do it for them, Tribute Paid North Dakota and the Missouri slope region accorded enthusiastic tribute to Secretary of Agriculture Jardine on the occasion of the great slope event, the annual Mandan roundup, which concluded a pictur- esque three-day exhibition Saturday afternoon, Acting on the advise of a physi- cian, Secretary. Jardine did not go through with his scheduled stunt- riding number which was to have been the special feature of the roundup performance.

BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, MONDAY, JULY 6, 1925 MISSING MEN FOUND CHAINED IN MOUNTAINS Victims Tell How They Were Lured to Place by Fake Telephone Call IN SERIOUS CONDITION; Prisoners Moved to New Lo- cation Each Night by Hooded Captors Chattanocga, Tenn., July 6.--)— Dr. W. D. Mason, veterinary sur-} geon, and Lawrence Bowman, who; have been the object of a 10 days'/ search following their disappearance Signal i it of were found handcuffed and chained to a tree yesterday by Jim Thomas, mountaineer. Both men were alive but in serious condition due to their long exposure insufficient nourishment. They were brought to the city in an ambu- ane Captured by Hooded Men Mason and Bowman after > being: somewhat revived, stated that they had been set upon the night of their disappearance by five hooded men,|} and chained to a tree. Each night they were blindfolded and removed to another place, they stated. The! two men were found on a spot that was previously searched by posse. It is believed that they were moved each night to a section of the mountain that’ had been searched previous! While very thirsty, able to talk, agcording to but Mason did net speak. said that it had been four days since Mason had eaten, having become an- at being held captive and having refused to eat and drink on one oc- on, ‘The captors, Bowman, stat- ed, then refused to etther feed him or give him water. Finding of the men occurred when Thomas went to the mountain seek- ing hogs that had escaped from his hillside’ farm. He amazed, he stated, when he saw Bowman, his face covered with a heavy growth of beard, thinking he was an apparition. Ambulances Are Summoned Thomas went to a nearby farm- house and summoned ambulances. He then returned to the men. ‘ “Bowman told me that the bandits usually kept guard over them some distance away,” Thomas continued. “Dr. Mason's wrists,” Thomas said, “were badly cut by the handcuff, vered with a saw and file. were fastened to a wrapped around a chained the tight- est, it being possible for Bowman to raise himself up on his hands and knees.” When news of the discovery of the men was received in the city, Chief Deputy Nick Bush, who has headed the search for the men, sped to the mountain, where he conducted an in- vestigation into the affair and sought to ferrit out the identity of the cap- tors of the men. ; Crowds besieged the jail and hos- pitals as news of the finding of the men spread throughout the city. Fail to Recognize Captors County officers were at a loss to account for the kidnaping of the two men, or why they were held cap- tive by the hooded clan. The cap- tives, themselves, could give no rea- son for their being taken. They re- cognized none of the men and dur- ing their captivity no hint was drop- ped as to why they were being held. Mason and Bowman were lured to Signal mountain on the night of June 23 by a fake telephone message. Nothing was heard of the two men until the next morning, when Ma- son’s car was discovered on a lonely road atop the mountain, Bloodstains showed on parts of the machine. Sheriff Tom Selman immediately organized a posse and began to comb the mountains for the men, No clue developed and officers believed that the pair had been killed and their bodies hidden. Two Families in Bitter Feud A bitter fued that has existed be- tween the Bowman and Godsey fac- tions over alleged liquor making transactions came to a climax sev- eral months ago when Benton God- sey killed Ike Bowman and wounded Homer Bowman, brother of Lawrence Bowman. Since that time Lawrence Bowman has been aiding prohibition agents in ferreting out stills said ts have been operated by the Godsey clan. ‘What connection Dr. Mason had with the feud is not known, although he was friendly with the Bowman faction. ‘ f Weather Report i e Temperature at 7 a. m. - Highest yesterday Lowest last night ..

DEVINE URGES BAD LANDS AS Says North Dakota Must: Awaken to Priceless Value of Area By Joseph M. Devine, Commissioner | of Immigration The Bad Lands are truly a real wonderland, wild, weird and, as yet, unspoiled. Once seen, the memory of their beauty, mystery and majes ty will.remain forever. Many men of national note and authority have Pronounced them to be the greatest formed wild game preserve in this country, and second only to the Yel- lowstone National Park in point of interest and awe-inspiring beauty The Little Missouri winds and twists its way through the entire length of| this strange, unique stretch of ter- ritory.

Here the student, writer, scientist and historian can commune with nature to the full, and vision that far away, dim, dis- tant past when God said: “Let there be light, and there was light.” North Dakota, as well as the na- tional government, must wake up to the far-reaching importance and priceless value of these so-called Bad Lands in the extreme western section of this state. They extend Nerth and South ninety-one miles, | with an average width of fourteen miles, They should be made a na- tional park and game preserve. A few more years and it will be for- ever too late. Let them be kept free, clean and sweet as now, from the marring touch of modern civilization in its ever onward, resistless march westward. The experience of the past and the constantly growing need of the future abundantly serve to emphasize this plea. It is a sad commentary upon the intelligence and wisdom of the peo- ple of this generation, that the little that remains of our wild game is rapidly disappearing. God is not making any more Bad Lands. A few more years and the hig, free out doors of the Great West will live only in memory, Let the Bad Lands, therefore, be set aside promptly. by national legis- | lation to the end and purpose that) rates to Bismarck. they be made, while in tl majesty and beauty, a playground, recreat park and game pre- serve, for this and all succeeding generation: STATE IS 100 | PER CENT FOR FEDERAL AID Every county in the state has now asked for federal and state aid for the construction of some part of its highway system. Oliver county, the last one to seek this subvention, filed its first request on June 29 with the state highway commission. It is for the purpose of grading five miles of road from Center to Fort Clark. Up to 1928, all but fourteen out of the fifty-three counties comprising the stage had made such applications. During’ the following eighteen months, thirteen counties fell into line from time to time with the ma- jority.

Indications are wheat prices will average above normal, Jardine, stated. ¥ ! “Production as a whole the coun-! try over is not great,” he declared. | “The wheat yield in several volume. producing states is seriously menac- jon report of the griculture pointed to a smaller crop than any year 917, in There is no great carry-over in wheat such as we have had in recent sears. The crop will be notably, sho¥t in foreign countries. All of which assures a fair price and a ready market. “The only thing that can stop a good yield in North Dakota is rust. Any great damage from rust is re- mote at this time. I should say that nothing but the inevitable can stop a record-breaking crop in North Da-, kota.” BAND CONTEST TO BE HELD AT N. D.

G. Black jto all district engineers and road ntenance inspectors to notify all | billboard nd to give them ten h to take down such ure to h signs within the time result in. their remo and destruction by the highwa partment.’ But as only ab third of the state highways system is patrolled and maintained by the highway department, it asks the ev- operation of the traveling public in the task of ridding the state of this dangerous road nuisance through calling the attention of the depast- ment to their existence and location. Sorlie Tells Reasons “In starting our campaign to re- move all objectionable billboura from the state highway system, Iam actuated by several motives,”’ Gov Sorlie stated today. “Therefore, we must invite the cooperation of all ens, and especially car . in our efforts to rid the state highways of this nuisance. A letter or a postcard to the highway depart ment giving the location of the sign and the name of the advertiser will supply the necessary information for our action. We can then notify the advertiser to remove the objection- able sign, and also that he is violating ‘the law. At the same time, we can notify the sheriff of the county to check up on the mat- ter. If the sign is not removed within a given time, he can arrest the law breaker, and ‘also, remove the sign for the highway department. “While the state highway depart- ment can look after the state high- way system, county and township of- ficers must give their attention to county and township roads. There about 100,000 miles of county and township roads. Chap. 145 confers the same powers on the local officers as it grants to the highway depart- Cooperation Asked “A little cooperation on the part of the advertisers, the public officers and the general public will make our state stand out the entire country for its work of ridding the highways of these unsightly and even danger- our signboards. “First, chap. 145 of the laws of 1925 now makes a misdemeanor to erect or maintain billboards or sigas on any of the highways of the state. it imposes on the state highway de- partment the duty to cause their des- truction or removal from our state highway system. As these carry by far the larger portion of our travel, they offer an excellent place to make a good beginning. Secondly, _bill- boards and other advertising matter along the highway not only mar its beauty and that of the landscape, but also, in a large degree, tend to make auto driving unsafe. Where they do | not obstruct the view or vision of the driver, they frequently distract his ; attention, and it is just such distrac- tions that give rise to an accident. One of the worst forms of highway advertising is to place the word, ‘Stop’ or ‘Danger’ on a signboard advertising prunes or some similar harmless thing. This type of sign makes the driving public callous or careless of the real and proper danger road markings; people see them so often they grow heedless of real danger. Such misleading displays must come down, and we shall clear out every one of them on the state highway system. “Now there are over 6,000 miles in the state highway system but the highway patrols and maintains only about 2,000 miles. Obviously, it will be impossible for them to give inten- sive attention this year to the entire 6,000 miles, unless we send out spe- cial crews for that purpose, which would mean too much added expense. Nevertheless, we should like to cause the removal of these objectionable and now illegal billboards from the entire highway system.

All night the search had gone forward under concentrat- ed blare of dozens of are lights. Dozens of men had patiently worked way down through the mass of de- bris pausing now and again to lift another unfortunate. By this morning they had found nearly all. Miss Ella Cauley was brought out pitifully bruised. In her dress they found the money for which she had smiled away the broafi bandyings of the guests that she might realize her hope of mar- riage and a home. Officer Killed Frank Tillo and Neddo Flannigan, who had won many local ring battles, were found, Inspector Benjamin Alexander of the police, who had thought to add another arrest to the several made at the club, died in the wreck, Some of the bodies found were of persons paying their first visit to the club, while others were those of habitues. One man, his wifes’ picture in the pocket over his heart, was found in the dead arms of anothe woman. Occasionally a worker picked up an unbroken bottle of whisk ‘There are several untouched pockets in the debris that may hold bod Barly last night the discoveries came in quick succession so th: the total of known dead rose rapidly from 19 to 37.
