Peer Lodge Sunday morning: They were Oscar and • Denver ' Woods- (■ convicted - of cattle stealing and given a sentence of from five- to seven - years, Robert James, -convicted of - horse stealing, for which the court placed a sen- tence of from live to seven years, John T. McCrory, for receiving stolen, property, on which the jury fixed a verdict of frdm six months to a year, and William McCrory who pled- guilty to receiving stolen pro perty belonging to W. A. Garvey, and was given a term of from one to three years, and A. C. .McCrory,• who-pled guilty to receiving stolen property'“belonging“'to“ W r—A“ Gar-' vy, and was sentenced to from one to three years. Jacob Holverson from Meade from Miles City, is in the city, a witness in the Wm. McCracken case. Jacob Hloversori from Meade County, S. Dakota, was in Baker last week, a witness in the John T. McCrory case. 'Jack Chesler was convicted by. the jury, of the robbery which occurred back of the Ravey salon in . Baker some time ago. His sentence has not been fixed as yet. The Wm. McCracken grand lar ceny case came up for trial on Wed nesday. Attorneys for the defense are H. P. Atwater and H. M. Lewis oj S f ’rgis, S.—Dakota, and Sharpless Walker of Miles City.' Attorney Edwin S. Booth is assisting County Attorney Dousman in the prosecu tion. Dan Stewart of Ekalaka was ac quitted by the jury of altering and defacing brands. L. L. Wheeler of Ekalaka was his < ttorney. Sharp less Walker of Miles City assisted County Attorney Dousman in the prosecution. W. A. Garvey, owner of some of the horses stolen last spring, was in Baker last week attending' court. These horses are the stolen property which John T. McCrory was con victed of receiving and for which the jury gave him a -sentence of from six ' W NOVEMBER QUESTIONS. The intensive fight which is being- waged by the pros and cons on the prohibition question js apt to blind -the voting public to the other-issues which are to be voted on in Novem ber. Besides the “dry” question the following measures will appear on the-ballot : A proposition to enlarge the powers of the state board ' of equalization, so that it may make uniform assessment of all taxable property throughout the state; a measure to determine whether or not the legislature has constitutional authority for exemption of mort gages on real and personal property from taxation ; a proposition to al low twelve-round boxing contests under supervision of a state commis sion, and a measure to issue $225,000 in bonds for a twine factory at the state penitentiary in Deer Lodge. The boxing measure is, in effect, a bill to put back into operation the Kiley law, passed by the legislature four years ago -and repealed by a referendum vote at the last state election. Copies of the prohibition measure and the boxing proposal are being yiailcd to every registered voter in r the county by the clerk and record er’s office. The bills are actompanied- by arguments presented by both sides.—Ex. The city of Baker is planning to enlarge its well supply. H. L. Cory, of* the firm of Cory & DuB'ois, is working, on. plans and' specifications for- it now. The intention is to dig a coufple wells out in the site of the original wells purchased from A. Wr-Kimptoa two years ago. These original wells vvere 400 .feet deep but\ proved un satisfactory on account of,the sand filling in and, choking them up. The two new wells will be the same depth but will be provided with specially designed sand, screens, which it is expected will remove- any Chance of the ' former difficulty. An“ ariaiysis“ df'th\e“ s^an'd'“will~be''rryLde' very soon and the screens designed accordingly. It is hoped-to get the new equip ment in shape this fall, and the old wells 'will then be abandoned. . This will give the city an ample water supply. It will also materially lessen the danger and loss in case of fire. The city contemplates using electricity for pumping the water from the new wells. The Baker Light & Power Plant are putting on a new steel roof this week and making the building higher than before in order to gain more head\ room for the t o ile r which they will install. Manager E. G. Heinrich is a hust ler and keeps things doing at the plant. He evidently believes in con«- stant improvement. Additions were made to the plant last month in the way of a ne-sy en gine which increased the capacity of .the/plant. three .Told,..and„ the/.o.ffice and storage rooms were enlarged:\ There are a number of residences to be wired this fall,-and plans are being made to extend the lines out as far as the Z. W. Zook home be fore the ground freezes. PROGRAM COMPLETE' * Manager r;'Welsh.; of/itheri.Ow.egp.

Miss Jeannette Rankin, Republican^ candidate for Congress spoke before j a large crowd at the opera house last I Friday night. She was., very- ably | introduced by Mrs. L. Price.. I Miss Rankin is a red-hot Republi- ! can and strongly urged her hearers to vote for Hughes. This, radical, party stand was a surprise, to many ' of her audience who had expected rather of a non-partisan speech along the lines of prohibition, public\ morals, etc., amd had rallied to hèr ; standard for that reason. .5 | Judging from her opinions and sentiments expressed, she does’nt hold the Democratic party and the Southern Democrats especially, in very high regard. She stated that the south was mostly Democratic, j and that the Southern Democrats were not progressive and that they ' dominated Congress,—the two latter statement being rather incbm-, patible. . \ j • She informed her audience that,,' among the men who reached Con-' gress, a very few attained the dis--, tinction of chairmanship of cotrt-Tdidate’s./\\ ¿U. . : -• -r. ’ • . „ .;a3a mittees, but that the majority of them never amounted to more ‘than to act as bell and' messenger boys. This was considérable of a shock .to the few ■ üninformed in the audience, who had supposed that, at' least the. majority of the men ' sent_ to Congress by . the voters of this nation, really -did do a little voting, and a little speech making, perhaps, occassionally a ' little lobbying, etc. People began' tb wonder how it had happened that- the Democratic ad ministration had managed to put in to legislation such laws as the.Farm Loan Law. the Workmen’s Compen sation law and the Child Labor law, but Miss Rankin did not enlighten them on that subject. It is feared that Miss Rankin’s speech lost her more votes than it won. Her radical stand changes the sentiment as. to sending a woman to Congress simply because she is ' a woman.,. The. question now resolves itself into whether the people want to be represented in Congress by the Republican or by the Democrat can -- • ................... k BETTER LIGHTING SYSTEM 0 A meeting of the city council and property holders will be called soon to discuss the matter of putting in an ornamental lighting system. They are figuring on using cast irdn posts with five globes placed verti- cally, which will be a cleaner and more sanitary arrangement than the old way. The posts will be twelve feet high. This will be similar to the. system in Minneapolis, the posts there be ing fourteen feet high, and having, five vertical globes. Commissioner Farwell lies new cer. Frank Thompson, owner of the Central Garage at Ekalaka, has been attending district court. On his return trip home, he drove a 1917 model Ford car down for Coun ty Commissioner Geo. H. Farwell. Irene Norman of Bisher was operated on for adenoids at the 'Elizabeth hospital on Tuesday by Dr. R. Hayes. She was accompanied by her mother. ‘ * BILLINGS' POLYTECHNIC -OPEN At the Woodrow ^ Wilson Club meeting Friday evening committees were appointed to solicit members and other campaign matters were taken up. O. A. Dahl ’was selected president of the club with Mrs. S. A. Holt as Secretary. Within a short time, speakers will be here under the auspices of the club to speak bn the efficient administration of our national affairs during the past four years. While out gathering his corn crop last»Sunday, DeLoss Hall, who has the small patch of-corn north of the jail, found the pocket book that was stolen from \Dummy” Castleberry during fair time. There was no money in it, however, only a few .papers. ’ The wallet had been hid un der a shock .of corn. Up to present time no arrests have been made but.; several parties are under, suspicion. Word comes from Billings that the Polytechnic opened September 19th with a large increase in 'attendance. The Institute has made many im provements during the summer. The new Shop building is now nearly completed. The finishing touches were put on the splendid Dining Hall and it is now being used for the first time. Additional dormitory ac commodations are now being pro vided. Director L. T. Eaton will leave for the East within a few weeks to secure the necessary >funds for the erection of a new dormitory for girls and another dormitory for boys: Forty-five Thousand Dollars will be available in a few months for the erection of the Losekamp Con servatory of Music. This will be the most complete Musical Conservatory west of Chicago and will offer the very best advantages to young ladies in the Northwest who wish a thorough musical education. The Institute is rapidly broaden ing its ^curriculum and adding new courses \as the demand is made for them. Probably the greatest step yet taken in this regard is the es tablishment this year of the com plete college course of- four years in length. Instruction in this course will be equivalent to the collegiate department of the best colleges and universities. BE6IN WORK BN FACTORY SITE Sheriff Jones’arid deputies are to be congratulated on-the work-they h?ive, done for/Fallori County. They have finally succeeded after three years of hard and* desperate-work to break up the organization; o f a gang of horse thieves that have been operating m South Dakota, .Wyom- ing and Montana. This has ., been an uphill , fight as . the .ranchers and people who. could give evidence were afraid to notify the officers for fear some of their stock would be taken in payment for trying to break up’ the gang. Our Montana .officers were in strumental in helping to convict five 'of“this\*ga'ng~in“ South“ Dakota*—-last- winter, and.-now feel that they have been recompensed for their work as four were convicted last-week rwhom they know belong in this organized gang. The trial for the master key of the organization' of the three States is now in progress, and if the people will still help as in .the _ past, the breaking up of this gang is assured. The following is a list of the names of .the .pupils, in the Grades of the Baker city schools vfrho have been neither absent nor tardy during the month, of September. g R a d e - i - Ruth Thompson, Teacher Alonzo ----- Armstrong, ---- SL ---- Clare\ Clymer, Russel Churchill, Thomas Coster, George Gunderson.

GRADE—II* Rev. H. L. Anderson, resident pas tor of \the Lutheran church in this city, has been presented with a new Ford car by his parishioners in Ba ker and the surrounding towns where he preaches at regular inter vals. This is a practical and much ap preciated gift as Revj Anderson’s territory includes Baker, Carlyle, Ollie, Willard and Webster, and. the car will enable him to cover his field of work much more easily and quickly.. —- ... — Reception to Miss Rankin. The reception given to Miss Jean nette Rankin by the ladies of Baker last week Friday afternoon, was well attended, there being about one hundred present. Mrs. H, L. Cory Preliminary work has been started this week on the ground for the new sugar refinery, purchased last week by the Great Western Sugar Com pany. Tuesday of this week they purchased three teams, wagons and machinery, and are now pushing the work of breaking 40 acres with the idea of preparing it for beets next' season. By the end of the week they will have two tractors in addition to the teams now on the ground, and will‘prepare a.bout 160 acres for small grain next season, thus putting the ground in shape for beets in 1918. Phil. Dale, agriculturist for the company at this point, tells us that many ‘ experienced beet growers will be here for the purpose of renting ground in this vicinity, preferring ■this section in preference, to more improved land with the idea that rents will be cheaper, and it is with this idea in mind that the land own ers in this section will do well to keen the rents on a normal basis and in this way attract the class of beet growers which will be very essential to'.the local farmers in getting the land in proper condition for future seasons.'—Piniele Leader.
