Under date OF November 9th, 1897,
Register Hilger promulgated the fol-
lowing order:
LEwIsrowN, Mont, Nov. 8, 1897.
Mr.. John NJ. Vrooman,
Publisher FERGUS COUNTY ARGUS.
Dear Sir: In the matter of final
proof notices which are by law and
the regulations of the department
required to be published in one of the
two newspapers published at Lewis
town, 1 will order, with the sanc-
ton of the Department. that all
such notices shall be published in the
newspaper designated by the entry
man, from and after this date.
request that you give this matter
the widest publicity possible in this
section, and I request that when
parties write to this Office requesting
publication of final proofnotices that
they shall state which paper they de-
sire the notice to appear in and !
shall SO order. Very Respectfully
DAVID HILGER,
Register.
When this order was brought to
this office for publication, Register
Hilger said it was not made to Sc
cure a reduction In the price charged
for publishing notices of final proof,
but to compromise a dispute which
had arisen concerning which OF the
two Lewistown papers should be
given such notices.
The price for this work, which has
prevailed for years past and now
prevails throughout the state, Is IS,
which is also In accordance with the
law fixing rates for public advertis.
ing under the state laws.
Following the same tactics al
those of four years ago, the Demo
crat has initiated a cut In prices. of
fering, as will be seen by the above
extract, to publish notices for what
they can get.
If war is desired, SO let 1t be.
From this date, Jan1ary I7th, al {
until further notice, the ARGUS will
publish all notices of final proof Of
contests, the time required by law
for Two Dollars.
Let every settler take notice ant
govern himself accordingly.
