L. Caldwell of Livingston on train 220 and an uniden tified man said to have been beating hla way on 220 were killed Friday morning when Northern Pacific trains Nos. 1 and 220 collided at Welsh, 10 miles from Butte. Some passengers were slightly bruised. There were no other serious Injuries, according to lat est reports. A relief train took the dead and injured to Butte. The following message was received by the local Northern Pacific office from Superintendent G. H. Jacobus at Livingston: “Conductor Thomas. No. 1. reports that none of the passengers on his train were injured with the exception of a few who sustained slight bruises From the best Information available no passengers were seriously injured either on No. 220 or No. 1.” , Among the passengers the only one seriously injured is Merle Thorpe of Washington, D. C., editor of National Business. He is reported to have suf fered abdominal injuries, but the ex tent of these cannot be learned. His condition Is not critical and later ex amination, it was said, may disclose that he is not very seriously hurt. A report on the cause of the col lision between Northern Pacific trains No. 1, and the Butte stub No. 220, had been received by Billings Northern Pacific officials at a late hour Friday afternoon, but P. D. Barry, terminal superintendent, made the following statement: “It is probably that the cause of the wreck was air-failure. No. 1 was running 50 minutes late and met the stub at Welsh, where the stub was supposed to run into ths switch, but it is probable that the air on the stub failed to work, so the brakes did not hold and the engineer was unable to slow the train down for the switch. The stub was coming down the grade and No. 1 was making the uphill climb.

TREAT! OPPOSITION WEAKENS RATIFICATION IS EXPECTED Supporters Win Victory in Vote on Limitation of Argument on Ques tion; Plan Vote March 24 Washington.—Administration leaders regard ratification of the four-power treaty by the senate as placed be yond the pale of all doubt by devel opments resulting in the unanimous consent to limit debate and take a final vote on Friday, March 24. Sig nalizing the abandonment by oppon ents of all plans for a prolonged fight, the voting agreement was reached af ter a series of conferences between the various state elements. It pro vides for deferment of roll calls on all further reservations or amendihents until next Tuesday, for limitation of speeches beginning on Wednesday, and for a final vote as soon as the senate convenes the following Friday. It was believed that the opposition now would center Its efforts largely on an attempt to secure by reservation to the treaty what It has failed three times to secure by amendment—pro vision that outside powers shall be called Into consultation when any Pa cific controversy touches their Inter ests. Although, prior to reporting the voting agreement the senate again re fused tn amend the treaty to this ef fect. proponents of the proposal still believe that a reservation of the right kind might command the support of many who opposed amendments be cause It would involve reopening the treaty negotiations.

Caution should be exercised in purchasing wire and wire products. It’s very easy for a person to be fooled. For instance, some concerns, to niis- 11 lead, advertise that they have double or triple galvanized barbed wire or , , fencing. The galvanizing is a spelter through which the wire is passed. If it were dipped into this hot liquid twenty times it would come out with no more galvanizing than if dipped only once. We handle the genuine American Glidden Barbed Wire. We will fur nish you bright, new barbed wire. Our car is on the road now. i i Our price will be right—will be considered below any of the mail order houses. Montgomery Ward’s price on their Standard two point barbed wire, 80-rod spools, is $3.40 at Kansas City; being 12j4 gauge instead of the full size 12 gauge ; weighs 72 pounds per 80-rod spool. Our 12 gauge weighs 80 ’ 1 11 pounds to 80 rods. Freight and drayage at $2.18 per cwt. from Kansas City to Cody is $1.57 per 80-rod spool, making their wire cost $4.97 per spool, and at 72 pounds to the spool is $6.90 per cwt: if bought in 100-lb reels instead of 80-rod spools. Now, we will give you another comparison. Jim Brown, ‘‘Direct from factory to consumer dealer,” Cleveland, Ohio. “They pay the freight,” “Prices smashed,” and other slogans to attract business. According to the latest quotation, 12 gauge galvanized barbed wire, 80-rod spools at $5.92, de- . . livered at Cody. This is 12 gauge, weighs one pound to the rod. So, their i , price on 100 -pounds would be $7.40 —of course this is on galvanized. We will announce lowest market price when car arrives.
