Murphy 6 Uompany,s Grain Letter

Birmingham, August 26-Liverpool cables were a shade lower this morning; and this caused a lower opening on this side, Sep- tember wheat opening about Ac lower at 713sc, after which 1t sold off to 71hc, at which price it closed. Reports from the wheat belt have been somewhat better dur ing the past two days and export demand light. With the present favorable report we can see no reason why wheat should not sell somewhat lower. Corn was also a shade lower, while oats was unchanged Provisions were dull, but to points low CT. Hog receipts continue liberal. being 1S OO0 today. while the estimate for Mon day was 31,OO0 There has been but very lit- tie news during the past week on the grain crops with the exception of Price Currents estimate showing a decrease in the crop for export of about S5,OOO,OOO bushels This, however, had but little ef- feet on the market.

STOCKTON AGREE.
On Bounty Of S. for Wolves, S. for Coyotes
and Additional Tax Levy.

Helena Independent. Jan, 30.
The housecommittee on agriculture
and stock growing had under con-
sideratiOn yesterday afternoon the
bill relative to the bounty oncoyotes
and wolves. About 20 prominent
stock and sheep raisers in the state
were present to give their opinions,
as were also some of the members of
the stock commission. Hardly two
men in all who participated in the
discussion held exactly the same
ideas. Some wanted the bounty
increased on both coyotes and
wolves, while Others favored an in
crease of that ON wolves and IA small
decrease on coyotes.
All agreed that it would be useless
to attempt to have any bill passed
amending the present law, unless the
cattle and sheep producers first came
to an understanding as to what the
important provisions Of the bill
should be. With that object in view
it was decided to let the stock and
sheep raisers express by ballot their
opinion as to the rate Of bounty that
should be paid. The ballot resulted
In concurrence In the proposition
to increase the bounty on wolves to
s., but the sentiment was divided M
to that on the coyotes. A majority,
13, however, favored leaving 1t at 81,
the rate allowed under the present
law, while five voted to have 1t plac-
ed at $3.50 and two voted for 81.
1t was therefore evident that no
material reduction could be provided
for in the hill. with the consent OF the
stock growers, and how to provide a
fund to pay the bounties as the
claims are presented in the future,
and also clean up the Indebtedness
that has accumulated under the
present law, was the question. The
HtOckraisers seemed To think that
ample revenue would be secured by
increasing the special tax ON the
stock and sheep interests Of the state
from three to five mills, but II that
were not considered enough they
foyored increasing II. The commit
tee was advised To make mn estimate
Oi the amount il would be necessary
to provide yearly, aud the tax levy
that would produce il.
IN was also urged that stringent
provisions be Incorporated inthe law
to prevent fraud by bringing claims
In for coyotes ard wolves killed out
side the state. The prevailing i'm
preston was that such frauds had
been pFacticed in the past. The com
miitee will consider the bill further
before reporting on il.
David Hilger, one OF the stock anC
sheep men who appeared before tn,
committee, said last night that h'
favored a reduction to 81 in tn,
bounty on coyotes, but to insist on
would simply result in impeding tn,

TORRENS LAND TITLES.
The Helena Independent indorses the Bill
Pressed by Fergus County Members.

Representative Hedges gave notice
Of the introduction Of bill to pro-
vide for the registration of land titles,
and to simplify and facilitate the
transfer of real estate, under what ia
known az the TOrrens system. This
measure has been before our law
makers before and was intelligently
presented by ex-State Senator Chand.
Ter, also Of Fergus county. Since
that time the Torrens system OF land
titles has been growing In favor rap
idly, and IL IL now knocking ut the
door OF the legislature of nearly every
state in the Union. Three states have
adopted the system, and ii IL recelv'
ing favorable consideration in al
portions Of the country.
A matter came to the attention oI
the writer yesterday that illustrated
in a forcible manner the value and
convenience, TO say nothing Of the
economy, of the Torrens title. The
sale Of n valuable mining property
embracing several claims, is in prog
ress, and it is necessary to furnish m
abstract Of title. Inquiry made de
veloped the fact that an abstract
would cost $50, and lawyer wants
foe oi slCO to pass upon it. II this
property were registered few dol
lars would pay for "A certificate that

sideration il merits. Montana il

ranted by the facts or not, and until
he knew that he could not say
whether the health officer had ex-
ceeded his authority or not. In the
absence of other information L would
have been presumed that there was
reason for the closing OF the churches,
and II there were reason, the quaran-
tine was valid. He wrote:
IL suppose that the order closing
churches In Lewistown was issued to
prevent the spread OF some disease
that is epidemic. II this IL so, am
unable to reach a satisfactory con-
clusion why persons should be pre-
vented from assembling In church
and allowed to assemble in saloon,
unless the health officer believes that
the atmosphere of the saloon pos
sesses antiseptic properties and its
inhalation would serve to check the
growth or spread OF the disease.
Seriously, however, such an order
might be within the bounds Of law.
Plenary powers are conferred upon
boards of health, and unless in the
exercise of these powers they act ca
priciously and uDreasonably, their
orders are legal. Churches, in the ex-
ercises conducted therein, invite the
people Of the locality, and presump-
lively at church exercises a number
Of people assemble from every por-
tion OF a town. Saloons conducting
business do not necessarily secure the
presence of crowds Of people as would
be naturally expected at church gath
erings, and no larger crowd would
naturally be expected in saloon
than would be expected In any other
shop or place of business where mer-
chandise or edibles were for sale"

APPEALED TO NOLAN.
The Attorney deaersI UphoIds Health officer
Stone.

Two weeks since when DR.. Stone,
acting as health officer, quarantined
the churches, one of the ministers de-
manded that saloons also be closed,
and meeting with refusal. appealed
to the attorney general In thefollow-
ing letter, dated Jan. IA:
"The health officer recently ap-
pointed by the county commission
ers, DIR. Solon Stone, has ordered the
churches closed to all meetings OF
whatever nature until his further no.
tice. On the night on which he or
dered such action 80 men were assem-
bled in one principal saloon in this
town. The ministers of the two
churches concerned requested the
health officer TO clOse the saloons To
such assemblages Of men To justify
hig action in closing the churches, but
after due consideration OF the matter
the health officer answered that ne
thoupht IL unwise to order the sa
looms thus closed. What is your
opinion ol the validity of the quarnn-
tine thus ordered by the health officer
in closing the churches and at the
same time re'n4ing to close the sa-
looms to assemolages of the same
size?"
According to the attorney general,
unless il can be shown that there was
no reason for closing the churches
their pastors must submit to the en-
forced vacation. In the absence OF
definite information he replied that
he was unable to state whether the
closing OF the churches had been war

to pay bounties. This bill will raise
enough To pay them In cash. At
present bounty claims are far from
being the same as cas", and the dis
count means the same thing as re-
duction In the bounty.
"Do the stockmen themselves fa vor
the bill? Well, l believe 1t In safe to
say that the small stockmen are
practically unanimous In favor ol
1t, and perhaps Others are. The
cattle and sheepmen suffer from the
depredations OF wolves and coyotes
and they are willing to bear the eX.

Especial to the Argus.)
Helena, Jan. 22.-Your correspond
ent has made inquiry as to the relia-
bility of the announcement which ap-
peared In the ARGUS last week, as
coming from the superintendent OF
the Montana Railroad company, that
that road would be extended to Lew
istown this year, and finds 1t entirely
trustworthy.
Though not permitted to quote my
Informant. 1t can be definitely stated
that a party of surveyors has al
ready left Helena to lay out the grade
and that there is no doubt but that
contractors will follow the surveyors
as soon as the season will permit, the
intention being to reach Lewisto own
this year, or as near there as can pos.
sibly be done.
The project is backed by amplecap-
ital and success Is assured.
My informant said the company
has had this move in contemplation
from the first, and LewistOwn will
be the terminus for some time at least.
This should mean a great deal for
Lewistown, Fergus county and CEN
tral Montana and may possibly re-
suit in another road building in from
the north, though am unable to re-
cure any definite information on that
score.
The Montana railroad will enable
the mines OF the Judith and Moccasin
districts to be worked with greater
profit, as ore can be shipped directly
to the smelters here.
