The Times says the note to the British government was received by Mr. Kameneff. one of the bolshevik delegates here, Thursday night, and will be handed to Premier Lloyd George Friday.

According to the Times, the note says the bolsheviki are entitled both by military and international law to continue their advance until an armistice is concluded. They are, however, prepared to sign an armistice and cease hostilities immediately when the Polish delegates return to the appointed place with power to arrange the armistice and peace. The bolshevik answer says it is felt this action is necessary because they fear tht without such an undertaking the armistice negotiations might be prolonged merely to enable Poland receive reinforcements. The Times says that the soviet government is prepared to offer Poland terms, intruding complete independence and wider boundaries than are provided for in the treaty of Versailles. The soviet government declares its delegates now in London are empowered to sign a peace with Great Britai.i or any.

Airplanes flying in military formation dropped flowers along the route of the funeral of Lieutenant Lormer -Locklear, the aviator, and Lieutenant Milton Elliott, his pilot, at Hollywood today. Locklear and Elliott were killed Monday in a fall after a flight in a motion picture scene. Locklear is gen erally credited with having been the firsi aviator to change from one air plane to another in flight.

Many persons of prominence in Los Angeles and its vicinity attended the funeral, which was conducted with military honors. Two posts of the American Legion led by a military band marched in the procession, which passed through lines of the employes of the Fox studios. Among the pall bearers were actors, directors and other motion picture people. They included Tom Mix, William Russell, Sol Wortzel, P. P.

Hogan, Scott Dunlap and L. Sey-del. Great crowds lined the route of the procession -through the -principal streets of Los Angeles. Locklear's body as sent to his mother home at Fort Worth, and Elliott's" was sent to his home in Gadsden, PRESIDENT TAKES CARRIAGE DRIVE Washington, Aug. 5.

BUSINESS MEN ON SECOND COMMERCIAL PILGRIMAGE Special fWWi Aug. 5. One hundred members of the Billings Commercial club left here this morning by auto for Red Lodge on the second trade tour of the season.

Stops will be made at a number of towns and speeches will be made. There was a banquet tonight at Red Lodge. for Highest 'Possible Quality Would Have Ticket Appear on Ballot as Illegal. Special Lewistown, Aug. 5--Representatives of the candidates of the Nonpartisan-labor league, who filed nominating petitions for the proposed Judith Basin county yesterday, undertook to have the ticket designated as from the "Producers' party." The matter was referred to the county attorney, no designations as to party having been allowed, under the law, in nominations from the proposed county.

In the end the Nonpartisans abandoned the plan and they stand with all other candidates, undesignated. The situation over in the proposed county is thus somewhat like that in Fergus. The Nonpartisans have filed one complete ticket, while the candidates of the two old -parties are sufficiently numerous for each office to split up both the democratic and republican vote. Under these conditions it is conceivable that the Nonpartisans may secure some nominations. In Fergus an effort was made by the democrats to overcome this danger by eliminating all but one democratic candidate, the Nonpartisans having filed here as democrats.

The plan failed, however, because those eliminated at a conference have all tie-clined to accept the result and are back in the race. RAN DOWN BY AUTO; BURIAL AT BOZEMAN Special isozeman, Aug. 5. Funeral services for Mrs. Robert T.

True, they nothing of drugs, but owed their Answers Criticism of Outing Editor in Communication to That Publication; Surplus Flood for Irrigation. Special Livingston, Aug. 6.

What Is believed to be the most forceful answer to critics of the promoters of the project to construct a dam in the Yellowstone park is contained in a letter from Senator T. J. Walsh to tha editor of the Outlook, written by the Montana senator, July SO. 1 The letter not only presents replies to arguments advanced against the construction of the Yellowstone dam but defends Montana's appreciation of the parks. The Letter.

'To the Editor of the Outlook "Dear Sir: 'My attention has been directed to tone editorial comment your msue I of Julv 7, under the heading 'Another I Hetch-Hetchy, mildly hostile to the "i project of conserving the water issuing from Yellowstone lake in the flood season for use in the irrigation of lands in the valley beyond the park boundaries, I am so confident that if vou were more fully advised concerning I the conditions and the character of the ii proposed work your attitude toward I the project would undergo radical modifications, that I am prompted to the subject. "Evidently you harbor some fears which are Without any foundation. These are disclosed not only by the general tenor of the article, but by i specific expressions therein. You de-u precate, for instance, 'the encroach-j merit on our national parks (the prop-i erty of 100,000,000 people) by any in-l! dustrial or transportation corporation i or and after referring to the world-famed geysers of the park, you inquire. 'Would the raising of the level of the Yellowstone lake interfere with the integrity of these geysersT What Plans Contemplate.

"Whatever may have been suggested while the project was in a more or less I nebulous nature, the matured plans do not contemplate raising the level of the lake at all. It is proposed only to hold that level at the high-water mark, the I excess to be drawn oft gradually when it is needed for irrigation, instead of permitting it to go off with a rush to the destruction of property in the va ley below, mounting up into the mil-i lions as occurs periodically, when an unseasonable heated spell brings down i too rapidlv the accumulated snows of the mountains, or an unusual rainfall i in the basin draining into the lake I swells the volume of water in the river i beyond its capacity. 1 "It is not proposed that any rights shall be enjoyed under the enterprise bv any Industrial or transportation company or The state of Montana will ask congress for permission to construct the necessary dam, the conserved water to be used only inn district, or other II 1 municipal corporations authorized by I It the project to be financed by the municipalities thus enjoyine the advantages accruing. It will accordingly, have In it, no element of corporate profit, no element of monoply. Irrigation districts will be created In each of at least eight counties of the Yellowstone valley.

Every acre of land within the district must share its proportion of the burden and every owner of land thus contributing will be entitled to a ratable share of the water. Features Wot Affected. "As the lake will not be raised above the high-water mark, it follows of tcssftv. that the integrity of the geysers will in no wise be affected and moreover, that there will be no interference with any feature of the park of interest either to the tourist or the scientist. It may still further quiet any apprehension, to be advised that the nearest geyser basin visited by tourists is many miles distant from the lake, reached from it by the regular line of travel, only bv those crossing the continentaal divide.

"The dam will not even be suggestive of an unnecessary obtrusion artificial in character. At or near the place where it is proposed to erect it, is now an unsightly rickety old pile bridge, over which tourists admitted by the Cody entrance cross the river to reach the Lake hotel. The dam constructed upon modern lines with due regard to beauty in the design, could be made easily to serve as a thoroughfare over the river, "The difference between the low-water level of the lake is approximately six feet. The lake's area is about 80,000 acres. By holding back the water so as to preserve the high-water level, six times SO.000 or 480.000 acre feet would be conserved, adequate for the Irrigation of 250.000 acres of land.

Bear Jn mind it Is not proposed that any canals or diversion works of any kind shall be constructed within the park, nothing but the dam to equalize the flow. Ht.placed Good Intentions.

D. Arbogast yesterday forded the Missouri river at this place with a caterpillar engine pulling six trailers, making up a complete threshing outfit. There were a combined harvester and thresher, five heavy grain wagons, and the harvester cutter bar. Mr. Arbogast is taking the outfit to hts farm, eight miles south of here, where he has about 900 acres of wheat ready to be harvested.

The rig was too heavy for the county bridge, but there was no difficulty in fording the river. Fred Elder is harvesting about 1,000 acres of wheat on his farm" on the Rowe ranch, five miles north of this place. Mr. Elder estimates that the wheat will harvest between 10 and 15 bushels oer acre. He is using four self-binders trailing after a caterpillar engine.

The big outfit makes an imposing spectacle, the four binders automatically kicking off the bound bundles in windrows as the circuit is made about the extensive wheat field. Mr. Elder's farm is strictly a bench-land proposition, and is returning fair results, considering the three years of drouth.

5. Bozeman '-i alive today with picturesque cowpunchers, Indians, eastern dudes and all the other mixed classes of humanity that go to make up a real western celebration. People are coming in on every train and by every auto road, hundreds of cars are camped at the ample tourist grounds and everyone is waiting expectantly for Thursday afternoon, when the big show starts. All signs point to the largest crowd in the history of the city. Although most, of the best riders have been here for a day or so, several wide reputation ar-! men and women rived today.

"Hippy" Burmeister of Los Angeles, winner of the last big Minneapolis bucking contest; Ray Kane, another good California rider; Mabel Strickland of Walla Walla, the only woman yet to try to ride the famous "Brammer" steers, and many more came in on the afternoon trains. Everyone is talking today of the sporting proposition put the visiting cowpunchers by Jb. warren, a south- ern Idaho sheepman. Mr. Warren wired 1 yesterday for two outlaw horses on his ranch to be shipped here by express and offers $100 to any man who will ride either horse.

He is shipping the horses here at his own expense to gratify his SDortlnsr instinct. Over 300 people were at the Roundup grounds this evening to witness the tryout of a string of buckers from Twin Kriiisrea. Twentv horses were ridden and of the lot three were found to be top-notchers and threw their riders. Only these three will be used in the big show. The arrangements for housing visitors are working even more smoothly than was expected and Bozeman can handle any crowd.
