Incidentally it developed that the present county printer had been per- petrating upon the county of Jeffersotta species of graft of the road agent variety for' his own aggrandizement and the glory of the republican party of which local organization he is the accredited literary !loses. The amount of the graft Is.estlmated at-4frot13 $300 to. $400. - . is said that the commissioners and county attorney will take immediate steps for tine recovery of the money and that criminal prosecution may follow. This paper was given the contract at the same rate as the present one, 35 per cent discount from code prices. This paper will enter upon'its duties under the contract March 1st, after which time if taxpayers would keep posted upon county affairs they will find official information exclu- sively in its columns. To borrow from the ver- nacular of the subscription agent, \now is the time to subscribe.\ tial reductions in this bid from the prices now charged under ni.v con tract for 85 per oent less than le- gal rates. I respectfully invite you to coin - pare these prices with those charged in fornier years by county printers under contracts which called for discount.. ranging from 60, 65 and 90 per cent less than the legal rate. The following bid was submitted by Dudley Axtell for the Montana Sunlight: As editor, owner. and •publisher of the Montana Sunlight, I res- pectfully submit the following bid for the printing and publishing re- quired for Jefferson county,..Mon- term, and offer to furnish a good and sufficient bond to assure the county of tile proper performance of any contract you nisy deem best to a wai d me: First- All publishing' shall be in the Montana Sunlight. Second — The name shall be charged for at the rate of 85 per cent discount from the legal rate. Third—To furnish all the blank books, of every kind and descrip- tion that may be ordered by or charged to Jefferson couety, at 85 per cent reduction froni the legal rate. - Fourth —All legal blanks, of every description, at 35 per cent discount from the legal rate Fifth—Letter beads for 18 per thousand, and all other job print- ing not covered by ths codes at the customary rate charged to mer- chants and other business men.

The Montana farmers' institute office announces the prize winners at the boys' and girls' 1 corn ex- position held at Billings Dec. 12-14. The championship prize of $100 was won by Ignatius O'Donnell of Billings, and in open classes he also took six prizes. His corn was grown at an multitude of from 3000 to 3500 feet. The champion- ship prize for high altitude was won by Miss Florence Burriss of Livingston, at an altitude of 4510 feet. Prof. Alfred Atkinson of Boze- man judged the corn. The prizes, representing $1000, were offered by the Great Northern railway. Some of the lessons of the corn contest are: Notwithstandinx t It e drought and frost conditions of 1910, corn has been successfully grown all over Montana at altitut,ea under 4000 feet. Corn possesses a remarkable drought -resisting Power and prom- ises to be and important dry hind crop. The plasticity of the corn plant and its capacity to adapt itself readly to new environment is one of the conspicuous lessons of the corn exposition. Death of Prominent Jefferson County Man - The Sunlight this week, with its hitsrt welled with grief, appraises its readers with the informition that one of the earliest residents of Jefferson county and one of the best beloved men of this section of Montana, Hon. Daniel McNeill, has succumbed to the call of the grim reaper and that be was munbered with the great majority, the and event occurring on Tues- day, -December 20th at the home of his brother in Seattle, Wash.

Fie was elected to the office of county sheriff in 1888, end con- eequentlx was the fir-st sheriff of Jefferson eotinty after Montane it Subsequently, and immediately following the. two-year term Am the shrievalty, Mr. McNeill was chosen county treasurer for two terms. Again in 1899 the deceased was elected sheriff of the county. As an officer Dan McNeill ia remembered by all as one who gave to the duties of the office all there is best of good citizenship; as a sheriff be was a relentless foe of the evil- doer; as a custodian of the public foes his record is one 4f spotless accuracy.

The deceased was fifty - six years of age at the time of his death. Ile left only his wife in Jefferson county to mourn his demise, his wife being n sister of W. B. Gaffney, formerly a mer- chant of Boulder hut now a famous capitalist of Seatttle. Today, Friday, at 1 o'clock, all that was mortal of this noble man was deposited in the benutiful Boulder cemetery from which in the valley above can be seen the &rich home where abided in peace and happiness Daniel McNeill. The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church and were conducted by Rev, A. E. Macnamra. The pallbearers select- ed by the deceased were Judge M. 11. Parker, L. .Q.

Jackson, real estate 111811. a meet- ing of the boosters for the pro- posed now county, which scheme has for one of its ,principal tenets the making of Vhithahl into it county seat town. Th meeting was a largo and enthusiastic one, being attended by the prominent business men of of the city -as well 118 many ranch - men of this section. Among those in otuinent in the proceedings Womb- reetweaesitative - Hon. F. E. ,Nelson and County Commissioner A. J. McKay. A general discussion of the ways and means mind the advisability of the project was held, Mr. Jackson, chairmen of the committee as the presiding officer. Mr. Nelson was of the opinion that now was the opportune time, while Mr. McKay took a less en- thusiastic view of the situation, although endorsing the proposition in the main. Ile called , attention to the somewhat meagre territory and valuation which would be left to the mother county, and advised the necessity of remetnbering in tnidst of general exhubemnce that we owe some things to the old county of Jefferson. A. J. McKay and 1). A. Mor- rison were'selected a committee to visit Silver Bow county and ne- gotiale for an amictible agreement as to the territory to be taken from that county. F. E. Nelson and J. F. Jackson were selected us representatives the people of Pony mind solicit the co-operation of the peo- pleat that section. Today these gentlemen are in the Madison county town performing that duty. Ilse Sunlight, in reporting the oroceedin,:s of the county divison club nsectingm does so in the celiac - its of a disseminator of the 'mews mut not as one who gave the pro- ject unqualified endorsement. It is with reluctance that this paper admits that it is unable to agree with 'many of its townsmen RA to the feasibility of the project. It desires only to give the news, and in . so doing will content itself by letting others assume the glory and onus. As may be per- sumed from the reeding of the commissioners' proceedings in another column, this paper is very well satisfied with the county as at present oonstjtuted. —Ed I Eastern Star Elects .
