GEYSER JUDITH, BASIN TIMES Published every Thursday at Geyser, Mont. M. E. Parrish, Editor and Publisher Entered as second-class matter March 25, 1911, at the postoltice at Geyser, Montana, under the act of March 3, 1879. Tnuasonv, Oct. 31, 1912 The Warm Springs Asylum. The Times has received a hand- somely printed booklet giving pictures, facts and figures relative to the pur- chase by the state of the asylum for the insane at Warm Springs, Montana. This matter is to be voted on at the nearby election, the people having the last say as to whether the purchase shall be made at a price of $533,000. In view of the fact that some o the politicians of the state, have stated to the people that the place is over valued and that there is graft in the transuc- tion, the owners of the institution have been Ltimpelled to prove that they are acting as free agents and that the state is getting the place at a rea- sonable cost. Both the democratic and republican parties in the state have endorsed the transaction and the state papers advocate the purchase at the price named. The following extract from the booklet mentioned will be of interest to our readers, and anyone who is interested may see the booklet 'at our office: 'The report of the legislative com- mittee extolling the property and in- stitution at Warm Springs, and urging its pu:chase by the state at the !ow price 01 $650,000.00 caused renewed interest in the purchase of the prdp- erty. It was admitted on all sides that the terms opened by the co -part- nership, and recommended by the legislative committee, might be ac- cepted and carried out with much ad- vantage to the state, but to further safeguard the interests of the state and protect the people, the 'following law was enacted: - An act proving for an appraisal commission to investigate and report with respect to the reasonable value of the property of the co -partnership of Mitchell and Nlussigbrod, located in Deer Lodge county, the purchase of which has been recommended by joint coinmittee; providing for acceptance of the terms of this Act and for arbitra- tion in order to reach agreement re- specting the value of the property, and prescribing the duties of the state board of examiners in the premises.\ 'This bill provides that the state make purchase of the Warm Spring property by part payment in cash and the balance by means of a state bond issue, 'provided that the state shall not pay therefor an amount in excess of $650,000.' and that the property be free of all liens and the title conveyed in fee simple to the State of Montana. It was also stipulated that the Gov- ernor s . ould appoint three disinterested citizens to this appraisement commis- sion and that, in case they should fail to arrive at a final und.Istand and legal agreement with the co -partnership. contractors and present owners of the property, the latter should be anther- ized to same three citizens to serve n the committee, which should then elect a seventh person; thus making the commission to co:1i\ of seven members and to be known as the Arbitration Commission under the provision of this Act. The c mmission appointed by Gov- ernor Norris, in accordance with the terms and provision of the laws pro- vided, consisted of three w id ly know-, capable and patriotic Montanans— Judge F. K. Armstrong, Bozeman; Johm M. Holt, Miles City, and A. M. Holier, Helena. Known as ex- ceptionally conservative and cap- able businessmen; the members of this commission proceeded promptly to come to such terms with the co -part- nership as would secure a g. od bargain for the state and safe- guard it with every reasonable precau- tion and certainty of permanent and increasing advantage. They were i met in a like spirit by the owners, and so well did their work proceed that it was never necessary to call in the supplementary arbitrators provided for by law creating the commission. “Selectin4 1352 of the land offered as ample for all the agriculture and other needs of the institution, ihe com- mission arrived at a total valuation of $581,400 for the property • which it deemed necessary to purchase. And I yet the appraisement commission, in its determination to get the best of the bargain for the people, made a further and arbitrary reduction, which it ex- plains in a pargraph as follows: — However, for absolute safety, and so as to insure a bargain for the state, we made an arbitrary reduction of $38,000, thus reducing our ap- praisal to $533.000.' - Placing a valuation of only $25 per acre, estimating Warm Springs at $50,000 less than its owners' valuation apprazing the entire building equip- ment at $320,000, after eliminating furnishings, instead of $499,999.67, which was the inventory cost of the building and furnishings, found by the legislative committee to be 'fair and reasonable,' the appraisement commis- sion succeeded in reducing its total in- ventory to $571,400. and then, 'for absolute safety,' arbitrarily deducted another $38,400 and made its final figures $533.000. With every addi- tional safeguard to the state, the pres - ent owners have agreed to accept ih:s price.\ Pray and Allen for Congressmen (Continued from page 1) mittees, proposed one amendment to a bill on the floor of the house and pre- sented 30 petitions from Montana up- on different occasions. Mr. Pray's running mate on the tibket this year—there being t.vo con- gressmen to elect for the first time in Montana's history—is Hon. \V. R. Allen, the present lieutenant gov.Nnor of the state and a very popular and well qualified man for that honorable position. Governor Allen was born in French Gulch, Deer Lodge county, 41 years ago and has been a resident of Mon- tana ever since, having succeeded his father in the business of placer mining. stock growing and farming. He served the people in the eighth and tenth leg- islative assemblies. In 1908 he was elected lieutenant governor by a large majority, while a democrat was elected governor. As lieutenant govt rim and presiding officer of the senate, he ren- dered valuable service to the state; a thorough parliamentarian, he presided with dignity and in a manner en.i ienty satisfactory to all. Thoroughly famil- iar with the institutions of the state and the needs of the people, he is thoroughly qualified aid eminently fitted to represent the state in the con- gress of the United States. Four Good Measures (Continued from paj.e 1) The fourth Lill whic) it is proposed to act into a law by direct vote of the people at the forthcominl, election pro- vides for the direct election of United States senators. There can be no ques- tion as to the commendable features of this bill. It will take the place of the present law, which is. at best. a mere make -shift. It is altogether probable that this law, if enacted, will be super - ceded by the amendment to the con stitution of the United States within the next two years. but it is wise that we have it on our statute books and in readiness for use in the event the sev- eral states are dilatory about taking ac- tion on the amendment to the national constitution. In the stress and excitement of the campaign. the voters should not lose sight of these four bills. All are im- portant, all are designed to correct abuses of long standing, and, no doubt, all will be favorably acted upon by the voters in November. 0 It should be remembered, however. that direct primary laws will prove of little value unless the voters exercise the rights given to them by these measures. The benefit to be derived from such legislation depends entirely upon the extent to which the voters will endeavor to carry out the purpose of the law. No. 029153 Notice for Publication (Non coal.)

When King Nicholas I. of Montene- gro declared war with Turkey he light- ed a torch that has fired the Balkan states into fury against their hered- itary enemies. Its his proclamation to the people King Nicholaa said: \Montenegro had hoped to obtain the liberation of the Serbs in Turkey without the shedding of blood, but peaceful endeavors proved mayn't - lug. and no other recourse was left but to take up the sword on thair be- half. \We are assured in this holy under- taking of the sympathy of the whole civilized world, and we will hare the loyal assistance of the kings of Servia. Bulgaria and Greece and their peo- ples. who in this affair have rani!ed themselves with the Montenegrins like brothers.\ Of the countries named Bulgaria has a war establishment of 275.000 men. Servia is believed to be nearly as strong. Greece Is rated between 75.000 and . 100.000 men, while Montenegro can put upward of 20.000 men into the field. Turkey will probably be able to mobolize 400.000 men to meet her foes In the Balkans. Montenegro, the state that opened hostilities, was a principality until 1910, In which year It was proclaimed a kingdom by the national parliament on the fiftieth anniversary of the ac- cession of Prince Nicholas. It was formerly a province of the old Servian empire, which came to an end in 1389. since which date It has always Claim- ed to be independent and was so rec- ognized by the Berlin treaty of 1875. It has an area of 3.480 square miles and a population of about 225.000. King Nicholas was born in 1841 and succeeded Prince Dann() in 1860. He was proclaimed king in 1910. One of his daughters is queen of Italy. anoth- er a Russian grand duchess and a third a princess of Battenberg.. The Montenegrins are a hardy. warlike people, passionately devoted to their independence. Federal Judge Anderson. Judge Albert B.

FOR THE CHILDREN A Cat's Bravery. Cats show great bravery hi protect lag their kittens. There is no eneno tha t may approach a cat with kittens and remain Ullattneked. Owe a cut was playing with her Children about a barnyard when suit dimly a in hawk appeared on the scene and. seizing a kitten. soared away. The mother cat gave 2/ tre- meadous jump, caught the bird and made it drop its prey. A dreadrui bat- tle ensued. The hawk fought with battling wings, sharp talons and crook• ed beak. Mrs. Puss used mouth and claws, and though deprived of one eye she struggled until she ain't -ceded in breaking the hawk's wings and finally laying It dead. Nearly exhaust- ed and bleeding, she tore off her ad versary's head In great delight and. regardless of her sufferings, ran to the bleeding kitten. licked its wounds that the hawk's talons had made and urred over the kitten with a great eeling of content and happiness.—Pb1l- adelphia Ledger. Famous Numbers. Each member of the company must have a piece of paper and write a number on it. The papers are then put in a bag and Omitted up and each player draws one. They must now open their papers in turn, give the number written on it, and lastantly name something or some one con- nected wilts such a number. For in. stance, say there are five players, this is how they would play the grime when they had drawn tiseir numbers: 1. My number is four—the four sea. soiis- 2. My number is three—the three graces. S. My number is one—the president. 4. My number Is eleven—the world's champion baseball team. 5. Nly number is twelve—the twelve months of the year. Any one unable to think of a subject In connection with the number drawn pays a forfeit. All forfeits must be redeemed at the end of the game. The Queen's Cherries. Sir Francis Car.w once uudertook to entertain Queen Elizabeth at his seat at Bethlington. and he Isati promised the queen that she should have cher- ries freshly picked from his orchards. Unfortunately the queen announced her intention of paying her visit nearly a month after the onlinary season for ripe cherries. lbovever. Sir Francis was equal to the occasion. He care- fully coverol one of his cherry trees with a large canvas cover as soon as the fruit began to form. Thus the sun was kept off and the 'crop ripened very slowly indeed. especially as the cover was kept damp. A few days before the queen wa.: due to arrive the cover was removed, and the brilliant sum- mer sunshine speedily brought the fruit to perfection. so that Queen Elizabeth was delighted to receive at the hands of ii page a dish of the fin- est cherries. long past the proper sea - SOD for such delicacies. Always Fairy Tales. There has never been a language spoken that has not been used for telling fairy tales. Whether in hot lands or cold. itniong savages or the most cultivated nations—why. not a moment passes in which some one. soniewhere. is not telling a fairy tale. or listening to one, or reading one, or perhaps writing a new one. Which makes it delightfully probable that we shall always have them with its. how- ever scarce the fairies may have made themselves In these prosaic and prac- tical days.—St. Nicholas. Home Life of the Grebe. Unlike most birds. the grebes do not brood their eggs continually, according to a writer in Outing. It is only at night and on cloudy days that you will find thens at home. As soon as the sun has risen and warmed the chilly rnorning air the old bird leaves her nest, and, collecting decaying vege. tattoo from the shore or bottom of the lake. she covers the eggs with is thick layer and leaves the sweltering mass of steaming muck to hatch them while she spends the day in idleness or play. Origin of a Saying. \A feather In one's cap\ is derived from Scotland. Among the woodcraft enthusiasts it was the custom for the Individnal first to kill a woodcock to pluck out a feather and place it In his cap. Oliver Cromwell conferred dig- nity upon this expression wise's. on Isis refusal of the English crown. he ob- served: \Royalty Is but a feather In a man's cap Let children enjoy their rattle.\ Jack and the Beans Talk.
