TAKES TWO=THIRDS TO DO IT.
What Will be Necessary to Change
Comfy Seat From ForSyty.

Attorney General James Donovan
last Thursday gave an opinion on the
Rosebud county seat question, in res
ponse to inquiries from F. L. Mefford,
of Ros ebud. Mr.. Mefford asked first
as to whether the designation of For
syth by the act of the legislature Great
ing Rosebud county as the county seat
has the effect of making Forsyth the
permanent or temporary county seat;
and, second, what steps would have to
be taken by the residents and tax pay
ers of Rosebud county in order to have
submitted to the electors of the county
the question of the removal of the
county seat from Forsyth, whatever
may be the character. of the location of
the location of the county seat at For
syth.
In reply, the attorney general cites
the law creating the county of Rose
bud and the provisions regarding the
removal of county seats, and says:
"The language of the section of the
act of 1901 designating Forsyth as the
county seat of Rosebud county, until
the permanent county seat shall be
designated in the mode and manner
provided by law would indicate an
intention on the part of the legislature
to make the location of the county seat
at Forsyth of a temporary nature.
THE legislature might properly
have provided for the submission to
the qualified electors of Rosebud
county, at the next general election,
the question of the designation of the
permanent county seat for Rosebud
county.
''However, inasmuch as the legisla-
ture, in creating Rosebud county, has
provided that the permanent county
seat OF that county shall be designated
in the mode and manner provided by
law, we think that the method in
tended to be pursued is that contained
in sections 4157-65, political code, such
being the only method provided by the
law of Montana.
''1t is therefore, our opinion that the
portion of said act creating Rosebud
county should be constructed to mean
that Forsyth shall be the county seat
of said county until a change is ef-
fected in the manner provided in Sec

FORSYTH WILL CELEBRATE.
Citizens Meet and Decide to Observe
Fourth Of July.

In line with the course earnestly ad-
vocated by the News in a previous is
sue of this paper, a meeting was held
in Alexander's hall Monday evening
by number of our business men for
the purpose of devising ways and
means to hold Fourth of July cele-
bration in Forsyth this year. The at
tendance was not what it would have
been had the weather been more fav-
orab1e. It was the unanimous opinion
of those present, however. that a rous
ing celebration should be held.
Clarence Lane was elected chair
man of the meeting andVernie Beeman
secretary, after which a committee,
consisting of Elmer Holt, Charles
Bailey, Mart Thornton, Bert Coleman
and T. J. Thompson was chosen to
solicit funds to defray the expenses of
the celebration, and E. M. Huff was
selected to confer with the authorities
at the Grow agency with a view of
securing a band of Indians to partici-
pate in the days events.
1t is proposed to raise at least $500
for the occasion, a large portion of
which has already been subscribed.
With this amount a unique and inter-
esting programme can be arranged.
Another meeting will be held in AL
exander's hall tomorrow evening,
Friday, at which an outline of the
events will be drawn up, and it is
earnestly hoped that many will turn
out.
It is the intention of those taking the
initiative in this matter to make this the
grandest celebration ever held in east
ern Montana.

P. Scholkoph Located.

Paul Scholkoph, the Northern Pa
cific freight conductor who has been
missing from here for over a month
and for whose whereabouts and welfare
much apprehension was felt by his
friends, has been located at Des
MONIES, Iowa.
The local lodge of Knights of Pythias
of which he is a member, received a
telegram today from the Des Moines
order concerning his standing with
the lodge and stating that he was in
need of assistance. His brother mem
bers here Immediately informed the
Des Moines lodge that his standing
was good, and he no doubt will receive
the best of attention.

The top level of the season in beef

The top level of the season in beef
cattle was reached in the Chicago
market last Wednesday, when the
best steers brought 500 and several
lots sold at $50 and S7.55. High
prices have failed to stimulate the
movement of cattle to market and it
becomes more and more apparent from
day to day that the supply of market
able cattle in feed lots is the shortest
seen in this country for many years,
says the Chicago Live Stock World
The estimate of $4,000 for today,
while slightly in excess of number
here one week ago, was 5000 less than
record for the corresponding Wednes-
day last year. But on the week to
date there is an apparent increase of
II, 600 over last week, though the total
of $4,000 is still 5000 less than number
received for the same time last year.

Ready Branding Iron.

Until very recently if man talked
of branding cattle without a fire to
heat the branding iron, he would at
once have been denounced as the rank
est kind of tenderfoot. Now, how
ever, the irresistible march of progress
has brought forth the freless brand
ing iron. There are no stops to let the
iron get hot, but it is always loaded
and ready for business.
DR.. M. E. Knowles, state veterinar-
lar, has received from Denver a pair
of branding irons, one for horses and
cattle, the other for sheep. The inn
plement has a receptacle for gasoline,
holding enough to run the iron for
three hours, during which time a fairly
active brander would leave his mark
on about 800 head of sheep. The state
veterinarian is required to put the
letter S on all sheep infected with
scab and it was for this purpose the
brand was secured. Cattle suffering
from tuberculosis are also subject to
the veterinarians branding iron. The
branding iron is provided with an air
pump which forces the gasoline flame
into the brand, and keeps it in red hot
condition, always ready for use.

The attention of DR.. M. E. Knowl es,
state veterinarian, has been called to
the fact that buyers in eastern markets
have been discriminating against Mon
tana horses. The statement has been
made in some circles that western
horses are suffering to a large extent
with CHAMBERS, and for that rea-
desired. DR.. Knowles says that the
contrary is true, and that there are
fewer cases of that disease in Montana
than in any other state in the union,
considering the number of horses.

William T. Pigott, associate justice

William II. Pigott, associate justice
of the supreme court of Montana, is not
a candidate for denomination. Justice
Pigott has advised Chairman Walter
Cooper, of the democratic state central
committee, to that effect, not that he
desires to convey the impression that
he could have the nomination for the
asking, but in order to settle once for
all the rumors that have been afloat
respecting his candidacy. He said
that he was not seeking any newspaper
publicity in the matter, but since he
was public officer and he had re-
ceived a number of inquiries respect
ing his candidacy, he was ready to
say that he was not a candidate, and
to use political phrase, was out of
the race.

The Dragon mountain now a days
are coming in for a great deal of at.
tention, not only from owners of pros
poets and from prospectors, but from
the general public in adjoining towns,
outsiders and eastern capitalists. 1t
has been given out time and again that
the Dragons has been overrun and
that consequently all the ore bearing
claims have been taken up while to
the contrary good claims are being
discovered every few days and the
claims under operation are turning
out immense bodies of ore and determ.
lining the fact that the ore runs deep
and widens as it goes. Preparations
are being made for great amount of
work, in different parts Of the Ora.
Coon mountains, and machinery is be.
ing installed for that purpose. For
some time it was thought that the
Dragons would never become heavy
producers, especially the lime belt, as
it was thought to be too loose to hold
mineral of any kind. but it has been
demonstrated that at fifty aud seventy.
five feet the lime gives away TO tale,
quartzite, quartz and the ore body is
thus placed in evidence by the bring
ing to the surface of rich ore. Every
confidence is now felt by miners,
stockholders and the public generally
in the present and future greatness of
the Dragon mountains. Those who
have stayed with it and have prose-
cuted the development work, through
good and evil repute, will now reap
their richly deserved reward.-Pros-
