Reliable' Drug Store S. A. HOLT, Ph. G., Proprietor Proclamation To foreign -born residents of Fallon County, Montana: - I, M. E. Jones, Sheriff of Fal- lon County, Montana deem it wise in the present crisis, in this formal proclamation to assure all residents of fbfeign birth that even in the event of the United States becoming actively involv- ed in the great European war, no citizen of any foreign power, resident in Fallon County, Mont. need fear any invasion of his personal or property rights so long as he goes peaceably about his business and conducts him- self in a law-abiding manner. The United States has never, in any war, confiscated the pro- perty of any . foreign resident un- less by his (,,vn hostile acts he made it neccessary. I .take this \formal means of declaring to all foreign born resi- dents that they will be protected in the ownership of their proper- ty and money and that they will be free from personal molesta- tion so long as they obey the laws of the State and Nation and the ordinances of the city. I urgently request that all our people refrain from public dis- cussion of .questions involved in the or( .ent crisis and maintain a calm ..nd considerate attitude toward all without regard to their nationality. Let it be understood that every citizen owes undivided allegiance to the American Flag, that he is expected to loyally fulfill all obli- gations which citizenship c.nd residence impose upon him and that any act, however slight. tending to give aid or comfort to the enemy is treason, for which severe penalties are provided in addition to that punishment which public opinion inflicts upon the memory of all traitors in all lands. Yours sincerly, M. E. Jones, sheriff, Fallon Co. Mont. J. E. Reynolds is over from Camp Crook today. H. P. Blaine and father-in-law Jas. A. Hurd arrived Wednesday from LeClaire, Ia. to remain per manently. They families will arrive in a short time.

I 'In answer to our request for information regarding the school lands south of the Chalk Buttes the Register of State Lands Bays in his letter of April 24th: - \On October 12th, 1914 the state established a preference right.of 60 days from the official filing of the plats of survey and the opening of the land to entry to select any lands in the follow- ing townships: T. 2 S. R. 54 and 55E. T. 3 S. R. 53, 54 and 55E. T. 4 S. R. 53, 54, 55 and 56E. T. 5 S. R. 53 and 56E. The right'of the state to make selections in said townships is paramount to that of any squat- ter who settled upon the land after the 12th day of October, 1914, but not as to a squatter who settled prior to October 12th 1914. The proposed indemnity' selections to be made by the state will be in lieu of lands lost by settlements on Sections 16 and 36 before survey in the field. The state cannot make and file its selections in said townships until the plats of survey are filed in the U. S. Land Office at Miles City. The plats of T. 2 S. R. 55 and 3 S. R. 55 will be officially filed on May 9th, 1917 and the state will make its selections in the last two townships 'mention- ed within 60 -days frorn`May 9th, 1917. I believe the other town- ships above mentioned have all been,surveyed but we have -no advice as to when the same will be accepted and the plats filed. therefore I cannot say at this time when the selections on the other townships will be mad'e. The state expects to exercise its preference in making selec- tions in said townships and any one settling on the land will do so at his own risk. This depart- ment will have men on the ground to make examinations and selections about May Oth in the two townships that will be open on May 9th. Sidney Miller, Regist,er state lands.\ Catholic Service Father Mosscop will be here on April 28th to hold catholic services at 10:30 a. m.
