TRESCOTT AND SON, Publishers “ Entered sis second-class matter July 11, 1913, at the post office at Choteau, Montana, under the Act of March 3, 1879.” CHOTEAU, MONTANA, JUNES, 1914 *>.!-•* y V ________ Published weekly at Choteau, Teton County, Mont For the want of something: better to kick and bellyacke about, the newspapers at Conrad are criticising Judges Ewing and Les lie for appointing W. D. Jones, from north of Bynum, as county commissioner to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of L. C. Marsh. Here is what the Inde pendent has to say: W. D. J mes was last week up Conrad wants to be made a county seat so badly that they are willing to misrepresent everything and everybody in order to gain that end, so that they can practice the very grafts they have wrongfully charged Choteau with doing. They do not care a darn for a4new county; all they are looking for is to be made a county seat — which will never happen. It is ■» pointed to the p sition of county • not necessary for Choteau to do a °°n,T , r ° er’ \ ‘ “ i* bTV ’ o ' ! »¡«Tie thing to prevent it. The son of the resignation of L. C. I . T ,, , , Marsh.

CHO ICE LIN E OF The flask Wines , Liquors 1 liv U ( lo l3 and cigars Collins, Montana B E N FEIST, Proprietor in as chairman of the loard, following: The county commissioners ap pointed W7. D. Jones on the bomd to till the place of L. C. Abtr-h. who was elected a county com missioner in the new county of Toole. This makes three county commissioners for Teton county all located within a radius of 40 miles from the comity- seat and other important towns such as Conrad and Cut Bank are left without representation on the board. A* a matter of fact Conrad has no kick coming on the appoint ment of Mr. Jones. At the time the petitions were being circulated for the appointment of Duzzell, from north of Conrad, the people from that section were circulating petitions for the formation of a r county, and if their petitions been sufficient and the new county organized it would have been necessary for the district judges to again make an appoint ment. which they would have been reluctant to do. The simp lest and most natural thing for them to do was to select a man who would be apt to remain a cit izen o f Teton county, at least un til the next general election. We are confident that Mr. Jones is broad enou -h in his views, and fair enough in the discharge of his duties as a public servant, to be a commissioner for the entire county, and not exclusively for an. one section or neighborhood. This applies equally, we are confident, to the two other mem bers of the board. While it is true that Mr. Jones’ home is 21 miles north of Choteau, and is about 26 miles west of Conrad, and is therefore within the 4U radius mentioned by the Observer, in this county of “ magniheent distances” that extra five miles does not count for very much, as is evidenced b.v the fact that dur ing the past ten years all of Mr. Jones' trading has been done at Conrad and not at Choteau. This does not look as though he should be classed as a “ Choteau commis sioner.*’ Does it now, really? Commissioner Ryan lives 29 miles northwest of Conrad, and about 15 miles south of Cut Bank, while it is fully 46 miles from his home to the the county seat. Those communities are as w-ell represented as Choteau. Does that look as though he was another “ Choteau commissioner?” Well hardly! Commissioner Radcliffe lives south of the count seaty about the same distance as Commissioner Ryan does from Cut Bank. The whole thing in a nut shell is this: j from that institution Wednesday evening. Mr. Heighton has their new home in the Sherburne addi tion, all ready for them. F. W. Maple and wife, of the Bynum News, were here la^t Sunday to attend the bast ball game. This was Air. Maple’s first visit to Choteau in 19 y-ears, and this was the first time Mrs. Alaple ever witnessed the many beauties of this city. They were both well pleased with Choteau, but very naturally remained loyal to Bynum, which is destined to be in their opinion, the metropolis of Northern Montana. The Bynum and Choteau base ball teams pla.yed a couple of games in this city last Saturday and Sunday, both being won by the Choteau nine. The score in the first game stood 9 to 1, errors o n t h e p i r t o f the Bynum boys contributing materially to the score made by Choteau. The score in Sunday’s game was 13 to 12, proving conclusively that Choteau could make almost as many errors as her rivalu when ever the ball was freely hit. Both teams showed lack o f practise. , The members of the Choteau Rod and Gun Club, who partici pated in the Cascade County- mer chandise shoot at Great Falls last Sunday acquitted themselves with credit, R. J. Starkey securing the high average, having broke 141 blue rocks out of a possible l.VJ. C. S. McDonald was seventh with 131, Cnas. Cowell eighth with 128, A. S. Hayden eleventh with 126 and Dr. C. J. B. Steph ens seventeenth with 111. J. M. Frazier, who is a member of both the Choteau and Great Falls gun clubs was second of the list, having broke 136 rocks. The new train schedule on the Great Northern railway, which went into effect the first of the week, is very unsatisfactory to the people of this city, as well as the citizens of other places on the Power-Choteau-Bynum line. The mail now arrives here about meal time in the evening, after business hours, and leaves here early in the morning, and gives business men little or no chance to answer their correspondence the same day it arrives here. The old schedule was an improvement over the one now in force, and unless the new schedule can be materially im proved upon, we sincerely hope the company will at once change back to the old schedule.
