More Resident Is on the Job P. H. SAMUELL TELLS THOSE \BACK HOME\ SOMETHING OF THE JUDITH BASIN The follolg article taken from the Easton, (Ill.) Enterprise, clear- ly shows the caliber of boosters iMontana has: Mr. and Mrs. P. H. Saamell arrived here last Monday from Moore, 'Mon- tana, for an extended visit with rela- tives in Mason county. They ler). lasetton about two years ago, buying 5. 320 acre tract of land in the Judith Castle of Montana, some three or four Miles from the town of Moore. In converSation with the editor, Mr. Samuel' stated that it seemed good to gat back among his old friends for 'a short visit but nothing could ever induce him to leave the west for any length of time. As a booster for %Montana, Mr. Samuell is indeed a good one and loses no opportunity of !speaking a good word for his section 'of the state which he says is the best para. _His stories of the ewe.= 1110116 crepe raised without irrigation sound almost too good to be true but the few samples he brought back With him seem to substantiate his statements and leads one to believe that the Judith Basin country is all that it is reported to be. He hie Samples of the famous Turkey Red winter wheat which yields all the sway from 40 to 60 bushels Per acre; 'White Swedish oats from 60 to 100 or better; Mae grown near Moore last year which went 19.72 bushels to .the acre; Alfalfa seed reified on the\ . bench lands; Scotch. Fife will Macaroni or Durum spring wheat, and others. He also has a number of views of scenes in 'the Judith Basin. Last year when he was back here he said some people seemed inolined to doubt his statements but this time he has come prepared to convince them that all he said then was true. \We have a country back there,\ says Mr. Samuell, \that does not have to take a back seat for any community when it pomee to raising big crops. This has been demonstrated time and again at all the big land shows throughout the country. I know it sounds unreason- able to people here when I mention a few of the large yields but when. they cane out during harvest time and see with their own eyes the enormous crops of wheat, oats, flax and other grains they would say I bad' not done the country justice IA11 of this you must remember was raised on land that is only selling at from one-third to one-half the price Mason county land is bringing. \We are also very well satisfied with the climate out there. The 'winters are not a bit more severe. than they are in Illinois and the su . 41,1 ers can not be beaten any - 'ware. The dive are wren but the evenings are always cool. I believe Montana will have may new settlers this spring and se:1=er and before I left borne they were coming into the Basin at a lively rate. On the train I met a prominent railroad of- ficial who informed me that the im- migration to the west this season was going to br all previous re- , cord , s and that . 1,8ntana was going eiceeteeseasc. rionnitt IS JULY 18 THIS YEAR SIG PROGRAM IS BBING PREPAR- ED FOR THE OCCASION The Firth Annual Farmers' Picnic and Demonstration Day will be he4d at the Experiment Station near Moc- casin on Friday, July 18th, according 4o announcement made by Prof. F. S. Cooley, who was in the city Tues- day. Arrangements are being made to make thie year's. event as much oof a success am it has been in the past if not more so. C. H. Peterson, the farni, expert for this county, acoomPanied Prot -Several special attractions are planned to interest the farmers and 'visitors to the station that day, in 'addition to the speaking program, 'athletic sports, ball game and other features given in the past. Special train service will be given by the Great Northern railway. While the list of speakers have not been definitely announced assur- ance has been given that Governor 'Sam V. Stewart will be among the %prominent men in attendance on that . occasien. Crop conditions are excellent at the station' at present and should make a splendid showing between now `and • the date of the picnic !Further announcement will be made 'latex' as to the program and other 'features. THE \FAN WEED\ IS FOUND NEAR MOORE * SEARCH FOR THIS SHOULD BE MADE IN EVERY FIELD A weed, which if it gets a foot- hold would wreck havoc to the crope In Fergus county, has been discover- ed in fields near Moore and also on the benches in this vicinity. Speci- mens of this noxious weed have been brought into the city, but at the present time are, not fully developed and can soon be exterminated if the farmers will immediately destroy them. It Is what is known as the \Ian weed\ and one of the greatest 'pests known to agriculture. The plant seeds several- times in a season, the first crop now being almost ripe, and unless eradicated at once will spread ragiidly. This weed got- a start in the Gallatin valley, near Belgrade where it took thousands of 'acres of the best agricultural land in the state in a couple of seasons, %rendering the land Incapable of growing any crop whatever. •Elven 'alfalfa, one of the hardiest of crops grown, can not withstand it and is eoon crowded outt by this insidious weed. When once the land is infest- ed it requires years to •eradicate 4' as part of the seeds will sprout one year and others the next, thus requiring almost constant plowing for tv i p or three years' to make any road against it. Farmers should go through their fields and see if any is growing with their crops, and if eo take stringent measures to des- troy the pest before it gets a start. the plants found here probably were shipped in with seed grain, some of which may have come from the Gal- latin valley. NEW GAME LAW NOT YET PUT INtO EFFECT STATE LAW CONTINUES UNTIL , REGULATIONS ARE MADE Many of the papers of the state have been giving pubiicity to an article, of which a Washington die - patch is the basis, stating that ducks and geese have been declared migratory birds by the national law- makers and their slaughter prohibit- ed udder a penalty of $100 fine for ach bird killed, says the Joliet In- dependent. It is true that sach a law w en - to the discretion of the biological latepaetagaseL e alatil a zt0,,,lim,Na,th e is department adopts its regulations IFItis no effect Wbritaltar any state, and the laws of the vari- ous states oontinue to hold good. So there is no prospect .that Montana sportsmen will be restrained in the immediate future beyond the provi- sions of the present state law. In reply to the inquiry of the Independent, State Game Warden Jake DeHart expresses the opinion that the biologioail department will adopt regulations in each state in conformity to the state law, if the state law is found reasonable and Just. hi Montana the chimed season Is January to September, leaving October, November and December ()pep to duck shooting, limiting the 'number to twenty birds per day.

M. KELLY HIRING OF TEACHERS AND IN- SPECTION OF CATTLE Though a school board re-elect a , teacher, and the teacher accepts the proposition, the board before the term begins, still has the right to change its mind and discharge the teacher, and theekatter can not re- cover, says the Hetenti Record. This is the substance of a ruling male by Attorney General Kelly to C. A. Linn, county attorney of Meag- er county. Mr. Linn presented the following facts: The board of trus- tees of a certain school district of the third • class elected a certain teacher for the next year,, who is at the present time teaching his tirst year. The clerk of the board .tipon orders froixe .: k . . ,boupl gave eini written notice of his re-election, and the teacher accepted in Writing No formal contract in writing has been entered into and signed by the -board and teacher. Since that time a majority of the board 2f trustees have changed their 'mind In regard to the re-election of this teacher and now wish to rescind their action and discontinue his services at the end of this' year. \Do these facts ender the new law constitute a valid vontragt between the board awl the teacher, so that the board can not rescind the contract upless for geod cause\? asks Mr. Linn. \it would appear,\ says Mr. Kelly, \that by virtue of the express pro- visions of our statute that all contracts with teachers shall be evidenced by writing, and duly exe- cuted by both parties, that, under the'facts es you state them, whether or not there be a contract between the board and the teacher, it would be incomplete, since the action of the board has not been cousummat- ed by the writing contemplated by the statute. \And again, since it appears that the action of the board had reference only to services to be performed by the teacher in the future, and , no contract as contemplated by the statute, has been entered into, we are of the opinion that the board in its wisdom, may rescind its pre- vious action and refuse to enter into 'a contract which the law prescribes; since it is difficult to, conceive how any rights enforceable in law, can have ed emir) to the teacher.\ She or , ffs Crannot Inspeat Cattle. .

The total number of -Indians in the United States is shown to have been 265,03 in 1910, besides 25,331 in Alaska. There are 280 different tribes and it takes 53 different kinds of talk to, navigate the tongue of the tribes. The cen- sus bulletin contains this interesting and significant paragraph: The fact that steads out Most . proininently is the high proportions of young per- sons among the mixed bloods as compared with the full -bloods. A similar difference is to be noted be- tween the mixed tribal bloods and the full tribal bloods. In both cases the difference may be aecoented for In part by the fact that mixed mar- riages had not become common un- til recent years. Another reason for the predominance of the youngf element among the mixed • bloods Is no doubt found in the greater 'fertility, in mixed marriages. ,. • FARMERS NEAR BILLINGS ESTABLISH MILK DEPOT IT1: 4 E;F i t tyt E p ; ( 4F=T .

A large building has been secured and is bet ing fitted up as a milk depot and from this, the milk will be distributed by a few wagons all over the city. The milk will be pasteurized and bottled in 'sterilized bottles at the depot bethre being sent out. The economy in handling, it is figured! Will 'more than offset the extra ex- pense and the price of milk will not be mimed. Lake Basin farmers Cave started a movement along simi- lar lines, planning to establish a en- tral milk depot to handle their ser- plus milk for market shipments. SUFFRAGISTS WERE AGAIN DE- FEATED IN MICHIGAN Washington, D. C., Jane 1.—The claim made by the suffragists that the overwhelmink defeat of women suffrage 'in Michigan a few weeks ago was due to the liquor interests, 'has been crushed by the official' figures compiled and analysed by the state. The liquor interests are credited with Converting a majority of 760 against votes for women, reg- leered in Michigan last fall, into a majority of 96,144' this spring ; Yet the same interests did not have eliough influence to make the ma- jority of . Counties opposed to equal eaffrage go wet. This is the opening paragraph of a statement issued by the National Association Opposed to Woman Suf- frage and given out today by its 'Washington headquarters. The state- ment is in keeping with the associ- ation's psilicy of furnishing exact 'Metres to offset the claims or airgur meats of the suffragists. The following figures,\ continues the report, \are- peculiarly significant They• furnish the only reply' needed to refute the desperate efforts of the suffregists to evade the moral lesson given them by the voters of Michigan. \Woman suffrage was defeated in Michigan by a majority of 96,144. \Seventeen offie 83 counties in gree a majority in favor weive of these 17 are 'wet' 4/44eSe1.44.segletikaelaesetgay 'dry' counties. ro - ther - 'fb per - Cent of the - counties giving a majority in favor of woman suffrage are 'wet' counties and less than 30 per cent of all the counties giving a majority in favor of woman suffrage are 'dry.' \There are In Michigan 33 counties which are theoretically 'dry' under the county prohibition system. \Of these 33so-called 'dry' ,countlett 28 voted against woman stafrage and 84 per cent of the soaalled 'dry' counties gave substantial majorities against woman suffrage. \There are 50 'wet' or non-prohl- bitioneeounties in Michigan and of these 38 voted against woman suf- frage. \In other Words, 76 per coati or the with the 'inspection ' of cattle, they AlWeet49.444.49atalas; ', 44a4kiletallt 4 e% an important decision given by At- torney 0eneral y, benefit of the boalal of stock cone missioners, says the Helena Inde- pendent.

He later went Into the bath room she had occupied and found her discarded clothing and clipped hair.
