TOURISTS POUR
INTO MONTANA
McGaughey Says 3.000 in One
Month Came to North
ern Montana.
Seven hundred and thirty-five car
loads of Immigrants and their mov
ables, averaging live persons to a car,
or a total of 3,675, arrived In northern
Montana at points along the Great
Northern lines during the month of
March, according to J. T. McGaughey,
assistant general freight and passenger
agent of the road, who spent today In
Butte. He said:
''In spite of the threatened serious
war there is a condition of high grade
prosperity in northern Montana at the
present lime. The very best class of
people is coming in, intelligent, com
fortable, practicable farmers. The
acreage seeded and to be seeded this
will be from 30 to 100 per cent
greater than last year. This is true
of wheat, flax and oats. The cam
paign of encouraging emigration to
Montana, started years ago by the
Great Northern, is now bearing fruit."
Mr. McGaughey gave a specific ex
ample of the resuits of advertising
Montana's resources. Says he:
'At the Park hotel in Great Falls
last week 1 met a man who had come
from central Illinois, the great corn
belt. He had thoroughly investigated
conditions in the farming districts in
this state and had come to the conclu
sion that good sense demanded that
he should cast his lot with Montana.
He found that he could raise greater
and more valuable crops on low priced
land in Montana than on land in Illi
nois costing ten times as much, valued
at from $200 to $300 a acre. For ex
ample, while the Illinois farms yielded
»0 bushels of corn to the acre at an
average price of 60 cents a bushefT
Montana lands, selling at from $20 to
$30 an acre, gave returns of from 40
to 46 bushels an acre, whlclj sold at
$1.80 a bushel, on the average. This
man from Illinois, and others like him.
had gone to the grain elevators and
found out exactly what had been
raised on each section of land and the
price that had been paid for it.
"Twenty per cent of last year's
wheat crop is still in the farmers'
hands because of the difficulty of mov
ing it. However, the absence of prop
er transportation facilities has been an
un mixed blessing for the farmers who
can now take advantage of the ad
vance In prices."

YEAGER PLACED ON
TRIAL FOR HOLDUP
Counsel for Defense Exercising ;
Unusual Care in Selec
tion of Jury.
Vernie A. Yeager was today placed
on trial before Judge Dwyer on aj
charge of having assisted in planning
the Greyhound saloon robbery and for
which Charles "Chicken" Reese was
eonvieted last week and sentenced to
not less than 15 years nor more than]
30 years in the state prison. Yeager
Is being defended by Attorney Harry
Meyer, while the state is represented
by County Attorney Joseph R. Jack
son, Chief Deputy N. A. Rotering and
Deputy County Attorney Frank L.
Riley. The mother of Yeager occupies
a seat at his side in the court room.
The holdup of the Greyhound saloon
occurred at nearly midnight on March
26 of this year when William Pollard
was relieved of $18, the cash register,
rifled and some articles taken from
men about the place. According to evi
dence already brought out in the Reese
trial, the holdup of the saloon was
planned by Vernie A. Yeager, his wife,
Mabel Yeager, Charles Reese, Albert
Haubrich and Reuben Edstrum. Reese,
as stated, has already been tried and
convicted. In the case of Mrs. Yeager. I
the county attorney has dismissed the!
information which had been filed
against her for the reason that she is |
not yet 18 years of ape and if she is
prosecuted at all it will be under the
Juvenile act. The five persons named j
met in the Yeager cabin and made all t
the arrangements for the holdup, but
at the last moment Yeager refused to
accompany his companions. Reese. Kd
strum and Haubrich carried out the
plans as arranged and succeeded in
robbing the place and those who were j
present at the point of guns, but were
afterwards captured by the police.
The defendant's counsel is exercising
unusual care in the selection of a jury
and when the noon recess hour arrived
it looked ns If the greater part of the
ifternoon would be consumed in se
curing 12 men to try the case. All thejj
jurors who served on the Reese ease

of the case against Yeager.

'The Spanish government also hopes
that the imperial government, fully ap

It is ruin and, while they ruin us. the
Germans are carrying on unbridaled
propaganda here. They are trying to
frighten the people by emphasizing the
horrors of war in their newspapers.
They pose as the champions of world
peace. It is absurd but adroit.
"Nevertheless, the South American
