Montana Cattleman Believes West
warti will be Great Stock-Rais
ing District of Future.
W. R. Bell, of Billings, Mont., is
a passenger on the Admiral Evans
hound for Homer Spit, Kenai penin
sula, with twenty head of horses,
twenty cattle, pigs, hens, etc., with
which he will stock his ranch there.
Mr. Bell is one of the big cattle
raisers of Montana, and visited the
westward last summer in company
with Prof. Georgeson, of the govern
ment experimental stations. He in
stantly realized the advantages of the
Kenai district as a stock raising coun
try and located a homestead for him
self as well as one for his brother.
The cattle with which Mr. Bell is j
stocking his ranch are thoroughbreds'
and Prof. Georgeson has arranged;
with him whereby the government!
stations to the westward will get the j
use of the thoroughbred bulls import- j
ed by the Montana man to bring up j
the grade of the cattle at the sta
tions.
The Montana man believes that in
the very near future hundreds of
thousands of cattle will be raised on
the islands to the westward and in
the valleys of the mainland. He as
serts that the grass of the coast sec
Sion of Alaska excels that of Montana
and other western states where cat
tle-raising has been very profitable
in the past but which has now been
crowded out by the development of1
the agricultural resources of the'
countries.

SEES NO TROUBLE FOR
U. 8. IF ALLIES WIN
NEW YORK: Gifford Pinchot, of
conservation fame, believes that it is
essential to the peace and happiness
of the United States that the Allies
should win the European war.
He says the war which the Allies
are fighting Is really our war; that is
to say, the principles for which it is
being fought are principles for which
the United States stands, and which
we are Interested in having prevail
in the world at large. It is to our
interest as a people pot to have treat
ies regarded as scraps of paper; not
to have decency and humanity dis
regarded in methods of warfare; not
to have militarism in the ascendant
and democracy crushed. We want
the small nations to be respected. It
is of vital consequence to us that civ
ilization as we know it shall be pro
tected and preserved against the
German theory that nothing is sa
cred against the self-interest of the
strong.
“If the Allies win, there is no
trouble in sight for the United States.
We in America may then proceed,
undisturbed from without, to work
out our own problems in our own
wray. If the Allies win democracy in
Europe will be preserved against the
encroachments of military autocracy,
and the prospect for lasting peace
will at least be reasonably good. But
if Germany wins, the very existence
of democrary in Europe will be in
danger, and if democracy goes un
der on that continent it will not long
survive on this one.
ii uermany wins worin-vnae
peace will become a dream, and we
shall find ourselves compelled to use
all our power and all our resources
to get ready for what will then he the
inevitable armed conflict with Ger
many. a conflict which the German
military rulers already are known to
regard as a necessary, part of their
program of world control.
"We are today a peaceable and
peace-loving nation. Nothing is more
certain than that, if Germany wins,
we shall be forced to transfer our
first and best attention from self
improvement to self-defense and to
arm on a scale that not even the most
ardent advocate of preparedness now
regards as possible. In the face of
a victorious Germany, determined
upon world power, we can hope to
preserve our nation self-governing
existence only by force of arms. The
victory of Germany would transform
the United States also into an armed
camp.
“If, then, it is enormously to our
interest as a nation to have the Al
lies win, let us hamper them as lit
tle as we reasonably can in their
conduct of the war.
“YVe i^ust never forget that the
Allies are paying in blood and treas
ure a price beyond anything we could
have imagined before the war began,
and paying it to maintain the princi
ples to which this Government is
dedicated. The Allies are protecting
us, with the rest of the neutral world
from the necessity either to arm to
the teeth and fight or to yield to the
control of a military autocracy whose
only law is its own advantage. The
least we can do is not to attempt to
tie their hands."
To the Merchants.
Don’t think we are slighting you
if we don’t call in every day and
make a purchase as there is so many

would have nothing left to lay in
modern tools and machinery to keep
up with the automobile business, as
it is setting a rapid pace for our lim
ited means, as we have no bank con
nected with the business; but we so

KING COUNTY OFFICIALS
ROASTED OVER KRAUSE
SEATTLE: Edward Krause, at
whom is pointed a finger of suspicion
for the murder of Ole Moe of Seattle,
Capt. James O. Plunkett of Juneau,
William Christie of Treadwell and
an unknown, "C. F. Smith,” is being
held in the Pierce county jail it Ta
coma, pending a permanent decision
of Judge Jere Neterer, federal judge,
on the matters Instituted by the “writ
of habeas corpus.
A local newspaper said today:
"Krause is in the Tacoma jail, thanks
to Sheriff Robert Hodge’s refusal to
folldw the regulations laid down by
the Federal government for the treaty
ment of Federal prisoners, and U. S.
Marshal Boyle, in an overwhelming
desire to throw a dollar in Tacoma’s
way, continues to cart his prisoner
back and forth between Seattle and
Tacoma when the city jail in Seattle
is safer.” «,
Either county prison is open i.o
of the federal authorities and both
Marshal Boyle * and Sheriff Hodge
have been grilled because of their
lack of interest in the case. In the
face of the fact that every scintilla
of damaging evidence so far gathered
against Krause outside of that se
cured by the Juneau, authorities and
newspapers, was due to the work of
Detective Captain Charles Tennant
and his men, it is charged that Boyle
did not even take the trouble to send
men to meet the steamship Jefferson,
despite the urgent appeals of the Ju
neau authorities.
