A. D. STILLMAN IN CITY
NEGOTIATING "FOR SALE
Old Resident of Oregon Is
Representing the Farmers'
Federation of Montana,
A. 1). Stillman of .Montana, is in
Portland representing the Farmers'
Federation of that state, which is
composed of all the agricultural so
cieties and organizations of Montana,
and unofficially, Harry Cullon, In
charge of the department of farm
loans under State Treasurer William
C. Hae.
Mr. Stillman is an old resident of

Heed Market for Bonds.
When the legislature last winter
passed the farm loan and mortgage
bill nl the demand of the agricultural
elements the difficulty that presented
itself was to secure from the finan
ciers bids for the farm mortgage
bonds, which are secured by the state,
and bear five per cent interest, much
after the ninnner In which the city o'f
Portland has Issued water works
bonds.
Mr. Stillman was at one time legal
advisor lo '.he Women of Woodcraft,
and lie laid the matter before Mrs. C.
( . Van Orsdall. grand guardian of that
order, when she was tn Montana last
September. She Investigated it and
indorsed the securities as being first
elusrt.
Women of Woodcraft Make Offer.
On October 20 the Women of Wood
i raft managers in Portland, offered to
take JI2T..0O0 of the bonds.
The result was an upheaval in finan
cial circles In Montana, for it was
realized that if one organization did
ho, others would. At the annual con
vention of the Farmers Federation at
Lewiston, held on November 11. the
state treasurer appointed the secre
tary of tlie Farmers Federation. Harry
Cullom, as deputy. In full charge of
the farm loan department.
It Is to eoruple: - details for this in
itial purchase of the farm loan bonds
that Mr. Stillman is now consulting
with the heads of the Women of
Woodcraft in this city.
Mortgagee Assumed by Stat.
This money will be loaned directly
to the farmers of Montana at six. per
'.ent, on long time, with a view of
maintaining a revolving fund of con
tinuous loans to farmers.
Every mortgage is investigated and
assumed by the state of Montana.
The one per cent is collected in addi
tion to cover expenses and to act as a
guarantee and insurance fund for
every mortgage. The investor obtains
his bonds and receives his interest,
tlie state does the rest.
M i s. Van Orsdall consider s the
bonds as good collateral as any mu
nicipal, county, bridge or school
bonds, in which the organization she
heads has about $2.O00,ou0 invested.
She bases her opinion- on experience
gained in investigating and buying
bonds, and upon legal advice secured.

by American troops, who mistook them
for Villistas as they were advancing
on the town.

Tonight the Carranzlstas, under
General Alvaro Obregon. occupy No

Tre evacuation of the town began
last night. It was preceded by whole
sale looting. About 300 of the garri
son got away on the first trains. The
last two trains, on which about 900
soldiers were crowded, could not be
moved for lack of fuel.

soldiers, after sacking the town, began
to fire across the line. Colonel Sage,

lista.s again about to fire on them, the
American border guard opened with a
volley. The Carranaistas replied, and
a sharp exchange of shots ensued. The
appearaJice of a Carrania soldier with
a white flag was followed by explana
tions and mutual apologies.
As the Carranzlstas drew near, the
last of the Villa garrison fled south
ward. Of these 32 were killed by pur
suing cavalrymen from Obregon'S
''orce.
It was by others who fled In the
same direction that the three Ameri

town.

in readiness to reinforce the guard.
