STANFORD, MOM., OCTOBER 23. 1909 PRESS ASSOCIATION AND COUNTY PRINTING The World knows of no %ore in- iquitous law placed on the statute books than that under which the counties of the state purchase their necessary, and many times unnec- essary, printing. In this connection this paper is reminded of the recent meeting of the Montana Press as- sociation. This paper had no rep- resentative at the gathering, but it gaing its information from a relia- ble source, and feels warranted in saying that one of the principal ac- complishments, not taking into con- sideration, of course, the hilarity of the occasion, of the meeting of the newspaper men was the adoption of a label for the press of the state, which is a token of the sworn fealty of the Itublisher to the present printing law. Of course there must be other things which the hideous thing rep- resents, but that we are informed is one of the main things. Not say- ing anything about the beauty of the label, that is a matter of opin- ion. but reverting back to the county printing law—it is the opinion of this paper that if the publishers and printers of this state desire to con- tinue in the good graces of the peo- ple, they will assist in replacing that odious statute with one that the average board of county commis- sioners can understand, and the printer so conduct his business that he who has the county printing can escape the charge of robbery always the weapon of the demagogue in every county during every cam- paign. This paper hopes that it has been misinformed as to the inten- tions of the new association, but fears that it has not. When the 100,000 acres of land surrounding Stanford, now held by big corporations, is placed in the hands of the practical farmer and rancher, what a town this place Stanford will be Oh, you Stanford! Dudley A lktell United States Commissioner THE PRICE OF WHEAT The reduction, voluntarily, by the Great Northern railway of the freight tariff on wheat from Montana points has already had its effect upon the price of that cereal in the Judith Basin, and as a result the farmers are receiving several cents per bushel more than they would had the reduction not been made. This Is the fulfillment of a promise made by James J. Hill, who during his recent visit to the state, said that he would do all in his power to build up the agricultural interests of the state. The writer of this article remem- bers the time when even so wise a man as James J. Hill viewed the possibilities of this state as an agri- cultural community in the light of a joke. However the state has made good, and he was among the first to recognize the fact. Minneapolis controls the price of wheat, as we understand it. When the buyer sets the price on wheat in this section, he simply reduces from the Minneapolis price the freight front the point at which he is doing business to Minneapolis. Any re- duction front the old freight rates is money directly in the pockets of grower. Another thing that will stimulate the price of wheat in this country is the opening of the Lewistown mill, which institution is now in the market for good milling wheat. The farmers of this section are fortunate that they are being protected by so many adverse interests. BY THE WAY -- Wrong again, in reference to the aesthetic side of life in the Rocky - mountain region. Editorially, the much -esteemed St. Louis Times says that \several years ago mining and art experts out in Montana made a statuette of Maud Adams in pure gold., The effigy was made to repre- sent a type of American beauty.\ The statement of the Times is right except in these respects: It wasn't a statuette; it was a big thing. The termination \ette\ is of diminutive significance. It wasn't Maude Ad- ams; it was Ada Rehan, or, at least. ' it was alleged to be. It was not in pure gold; it was reported to be in silver wash. It was hollow and bow-legged. It was not art—at least not enduring art; one of the last things the public heard about it was that it was in cold storage in the cellar of a big department store in Brooklyn or somewhere else With these corrections the remarks of the St. Louis Times is in fairly i close accord with the facts concern- ing the silver-plated Ada Rehan.— Anaconda Standard. The Alaska -Yukon -Pacific expo- -otion at Seattle amidst the singing of \Auld Lang Syne\ by the enor- mous crowd, closed its gates last Saturday, and also closed one of the most successful world's fairs ever held.

Must Serve Sentence for Fencing Public Land -- - The supreme court of the United States on Tuesday of this week considered among other matters the case of Edward Cardwell of Mon- tana vs. the United States, involv- ing the right of the government to prosecute criminally for fencing of tie public lands. The case was de- cided adversely to the pititioners. Edward Cardwell was convicted of illegal fencing and was sentenced to serve forty days in jail and pay a fine of $750.
