Without exagseration it can be

Good Feature of Land Sale in Flat
head County.
One good thing about tie sale of pub
lie lands conducted at Kalispell. the
other day." said State Land Register
Thomas E. Long, sis that all the land
sold was purchased by men who will
actually settle upon it and improve an
cultivate it. So far as know. none
of the land was bought by spectators.
"Of the 800 acres of land sold, over
half was timber land. In many in
stances the purchasers owned land add
joining, and were anxious to annex the
parcels offered, that they might have
the timber handy.
There were some twenty-four indi-
vidual purchasers, and they bid liber-
ally. The parcels of land sold run
from forty to $50 acres, and the prices
from $40 to $2S per acre.
Under the circumstances. l am well
satisfied with the result of the sale.
and had there been more agricultural
land to offer, the sale would have been
very large. Next year, leases expire on
between 5000 and 5000 acres of very
desirable agricultural land in Flathead
county. and if the board decides to sell
this land rather than lease it again,
am of the opinion that it will bring a
arger average price.
THAT the people of the county are
prosperous was evidenced by the fact
that those who purchased agricultural
and grazing land at the recent sale,
paid sums down beyond what the law
required. OF course, all timber land
was paid for in full and in cash"

INTERESTS ALL CITIES.
Judge Loud Renders m Important
Decision.


Judge Loud rendered a decision in
The district court at Billings recently
which is Of considerable interest to the
various towns of the state.
The case was that of the City of Bill
ings against All 10y, wherein the de-
PENDANT was charged with operating an
opium joint The Chinaman was ar
rested by the city authorities, treid in
police court, convicted and fined 800.
The case was appealed, and when 1T
was called in the district court, Judge
Goss, attorney for the defendant, de-
INJURED to the complaint On the grounI
that the city had no jurisdiction to
prosecute, under the ordinances upon
which the complaint was found, for the
reason that the ordinance prescribed a
greater punishment for the offense
than did the criminal code for the
state. -
The minimum punishment fixed by
the ordinance is a fine of $50, while the
code fixes the minimum punishment at
81.
Judge Loud ruled that the demurrer
was we'll taken, and the case was
thrown out of court thus establishing
the rule that a city council cannot en-
act an ordinance in which the penalty
is greater than that fixed by the stat
utes for the same offense.

sert the city Of Liverpool does more
business with the United States than
the rest of the world together. I can
say that am not a bit nervous over
this outbreak of the plague in Liver
pool If I thought the situation serious
enough to warrant the quarantining Of
vessels from Liverpool at United
States ports I would recommend it at

NOT MANY DEAD DEER.
reports of Mortality Among the
White Tails Along the Missouri
Greatly Exaggerated.


James Tyler of Rocky Point states
chat the reports of the mortality among
the white tail deer along the Missouri
river have been greatly exaggerated;
and while it may be true that more
than the usual number of deer have
died this season, he does not believe
that they have become infected with
the dread disease, anthrax.
The region around Rocky Point is a
sparsely settled one, and the deer have
always been numerous in that section;
but the number Of dead ones found
there this season does not warrant the
assertion that they have been attacked
by any particular malignant disease.
Mr.. Tyler has had charge of the fer
ty at Rocky Point for twenty-one
years, and reports that 10000 sheep
have been ferried across the Missouri
at that place this season.
