Benepe, Sr., elevators to be destroyed | in Gallatin county within the present; month, was completely destroyed by j fire about noon today, Wednesday, when dry graes alongside the south of the building became ignited from some as yet undetermined cause and crept up the dry, hot outside south wall and, entering the building through the lower windows, soon spread with such rapidity that all efforts to save it were unavailing. A „umber of people who were attracted to the scene by the first heavy belch ,, lac k smoke from the windows gave it as their opinion that the fire in the 1 dry grass was due to sparks from a ; passing ruflroad locomotive. The news of the fire first conveyed to the Benepe office in Bozeman by E. A. Stiefel, of the Belgrade Mercan tile company, over the phone at 10:45 Frank L. Benepe, Jr., this morning. immediately went to Belgrade in his car, his father and brother, Frank L. and Lucien Benepe being the country on a ranch inspection trip at the time.

The Montana Farm Bureau federation worked enthusiastically for it, and sent its presi dent, W. L. Stockton of this county, to Washington to do fine and effective work for it. Congressmen representing three-fourths of the area of the United States, voted for this bill, which however, was finally defeated by the nearly solid democratic south and by the Atlantic seaboard states, in combination. This leads the Courier to the question which it wishes to put up to Handshaking Sam Hampton to answer through the Belgrade Journal: While the Montana and Gallatin county farm bureaus were straining every nerve for the McNary-Haugen bill, where was Handshaking Sam? Speci fically, the Courier suggests that he tell his readers if he wrote any letters to the Montana senators or representatives in Congress concerning the McNary-Haugen bill; and if he did, was his position one of support for, or opposition to, the measure?
