Yet Its Complicated Mechanism Can
be Tended by a Girl.
The '~;ost highly developed of machine
tools t.; the automatic screw machine,
and, >-kc many another contrivance for
saving labor, it's home is New England.
1t is development of the ordinary steel
working lathe, the intermediate step be-
ing the monitor lathe, in which the vari-
GUS cutting tools protrude from the side
Of steel turret like thirteen-inch guns
from battleship turret. In the non
automatic screw machine. the turret is
reVolved by the operator, so as to bring
each tool into play, just as the turret on
the old Monitor was revolved to bring
one gun after another into action. But
in the automatic machine the work is
done without human guidance.
In making screws, nuts, bolts, studs,
and other pieces that must be turned,
drilled or threaded for watches, clocks,
typewriters, electrical instruments and
other mechinisms, all the operator has to
do is to feed the ''stock'-a long, thin

tool around the turret has it's distinct
work to perform-one cutting a thread,
another shaping head, another putting
on 9! point, another drilling hole, still
another putting on knurling, The turret
automatically brings each Of perhaps six
tools into action, and, when the work is
finished, the completed screw drops into
a pan, while the Stock is automatical-
ly fed forward to begin the complex op-
GRAFTON again. A stream Of machine oil
pours continuously on the work to carry
away the heat; and the little metal cut
tings collect in heap under the ma
chine.
Hour after hour, this wonderful au~
tomaton goes through it's cycle of opera
tions, the turret clicking every moment
as it brings new tool forward. Small
brass pieces, on which but one tool cuts,
are dropped at the rate of four a second.
Large screws of complicated design, up-
on which whole turretful of tools must
work, are cut from steel rod at the
rate of one or two a minute. So per-
fectly are these screw machines con-
structed that an unskilled workman can
operate a row of them. All he is re-
quired to do is to keep them fed with
''stock." In some shops girls tend the

The Evil of Ignorance.

We should not mourn over the fortified
legations, or even over the garrisons re-
tained on our soil. Our greatest cause
for anxiety is our own ignorant popu-
lace. Most of our patriots groan over
''outside woes" but they are off the
track. Our chief woes are internal. The
outside woes are the result of internal
disorders. Internal disorders are TO-
mented by the unemployed and ignorant.
So we come back to the point we be-
gan with, viz, the Importance of edu-
cation and support of the people. Hence
we welcome the establishment of indus
trial schools. agricultural and CONNER
cial schools in various places. This is
attacking the evil in the right way; not
by the executioner's axe, nor by weak
and aimless pity, but by removing the

ANNUAL MEETING OF ASSESSORS.
Butte Convention Fixes Livestock Valuation.
Sheen $3.50.

County Assessor w. r. Crockett is in
Butte this week in attendance upon the
annual meeting Of the State Assessors
association. Tt is the consensus of opin-
ion among the assessors of the state that
the railroad assessment is entirely too
low and should be raised this year by
the state board of equalization. The
committee on livestock valuations rec
commended that stock cattle be assessed
at S23 per head beef cattle at not less
than $50, two year-olds $50. ycarlings Sl5,
milch COWS at not less than $50. hogs S5,
work horses at the discretion of the as
SCISSORS, range horses at not less than
SD, stock sheep 1926, and lambs So.
The meeting rejected that portion of the
committees report relating to sheep val
uations and by vote of IS to 8 decided
to leave the sheep valuation the same as
last year, $3.50 per head.

MUST DIP FOR scAB.
Attorney General Holds Exposure to scab suf
fcient Reason For Making it Compulsory.

An Interpretation of the sheep lnspec,
ton law was embodied in an opinion
rendered at Helena last Saturday by the
attorney general in answer to an inquiry
made by State Veterinarian NJ D..
Knowles as to whether a deputy sheep
inspector can compel man to dip his
sheep if they have had an exposure to
scab, without being able to declare that
the sheep are actually diseased. The
attorney general holds that the dipping
of sheep thus exposed upon the order of
the inspector is compulsory, and If the
owner fails or refuses to dip them, IT
becomes the duty of the inspector to dip
them at the expense OF the owner.
Ia several localities owners of sheep
exposed to scab We're notified to dip
them. In many cases they declined
pending legal advice. Several of these
cases having arisen. Mr.. Knowles asked
for decision from the attorney general.
In deciding the case in point the at
torney general says:
You stated in your letter that the
sheep owner mentioned had among his
ewes about thirty days ago q number Of
scabby bucks fol- several days. This
state 81 facts would bring the case with
in the provisions Of the statute authoriz-
ing the deputy inspector to quarantine
sheep which have been herded upon
the range 81 il corrals which have, with
id the past ninety days previous thereto
been used or occupied by any diseased
or infected sheep" and the inspector
would be authorized to proceed at once
to make and enforce quarantine regula-
tions, provided that the bucks in ques-
ton were found to have been actually
diseased.
As to the power Of the deputy in
spector to compel the owner Of diseased
sheep to dip them, section 3O32 provides
that such inspector must personally su-
pervise the dipping OF every band OF
scabby sheep within his county, and
appoint a date for every dipping, and is
also given the right to determine and
superintend the proportion and mixtures
of materials. Under section 30:,3, he is
authorized to hold such sheep in guaran-
tine until the owner has eradicated such
scab or infectious disease, and by the
same section is provided that the expense
of feeding, holding. dipping, marking
and taking care of all sheep quarantined
must be paid by the owner. In oul
opinion it would be the duty Of thu
owner to dip the sheep under the dircc
ton and supervision of the inspector
and upon the failure of the owner to dil
the sheep, it would be the duty Of tht
inspector to dip them at the expense o1
the owner.

THE LAW AS TO ESTRAYS.

The Montana Code says that the
detainer of an animal saved from
drowning or starving must make afti-
davit to the facts before Justice of
the peace, when appraisers are ap-
pointed and the justice files copy of
the appraisment with the county
clerk. a description Of the animal
must also be published in some news
paper in the county. When these
things are done the animal, unless
the owner appears and pays all costs
becomes the property OF the detainer
But this procedure in red tape is not
necessary when an animal is simply
taken up as an estray. In the latter
event all that is required is that a
notice, reciting the facts, be pub
lished for four consecutive times, un
less the owner appears in the mean
time, proves property and pays all
charges. II, at the end of the four
weeks. the owner fails to appear, or
if he does show up, but refuses to pay
the charges, the animal should, in
every case, be advertised for sale, one
notice in a newspaper being sufficient,
and sold to the highest bidder. The
detainer may bid the animal ia.

SUGAR BEET FACTORY.
Senator Clark viii be Called Upon to Hold
Good His Promise 10 Bridger.

1t is possible that during the coming
summer or early fall beet sugar factory
will be established in the Clarke Fork
valley likely at Bridger. w. II. Bostic
has the matter in contemplation and
relies upon the promises Of Senator w.
A. Clark to bring about the establish
ment of such factory. During one of
Senator Clark's visits to his mines at
Bridger last summer Mr.. Bostic sug
gested the ACCESSIBILITY of establishing a
beet sugar factory somewhere in the
valley. Senator Clark looked upon the
proposition with enough favor to furnish
seeds. which were distributed among the
ranchmen last spring, and stated that it
the beets were successfully raised he
would put UP the factory. The samples
sent i'll for analysis in the fall to the
Montana Agricultural college at Boze-
man showed that the beets were far
above the commercial requirements in
amount of saccharine substance. and
this in spite Of the fact that the beets
received little care from the ranchmen.
1t seems now to be up TO Senator
Clark to erect the factory, for Mr. Bostic
has performed his part Of the bargain
successfully.

TO OPEN CROW RESERVATION.
Senator Clark Introduces Bill in Congress for
That Purpose.

Senator Clark Introduces Bill in Congress for
That Purpose.
Senator Clark has introduced Il bill in
the senate providing for the ratification
of an agreement entered into by a special
commission with the Indians OF the
Grow reservation by which the Indians
propose to cede to the United States a
certain tract of land for the sum of
S1,15O,OOO.
The senator's bill closely follows the
lines of other bills that have been intro
duced for the same purpose, but meets
the objections that have been urged
against Others and that have prevented
the passage Of bill to this end.
After providing for an appropriation
for the payment to the Indians Of the
stipulated price for the tract the bill
provides that the ceded lands shall be
opened to settlement by proclamation Of
the president after the allotments have
been made, and disposed Of under the
homestead, desert land, townsite and
mining laws of the United States.
The tract which the Indians propose
to relinguish contains more than mil
lion acres Of land, 100000 Of which are
fertile bottom lands of the Yellowstone
and Big Horn rivers and their tribu-
Itaries. 1t is estimated that more than
five thousand families can be accommo-
dated on the lands.
To meet the objection raised at the
last session by Mr.. Mondell of Wyoming,
Senator Clark added an amendment to
the old bill providing that waters on the
diminished portion might be used for
irrigating the ceded tract. 1t is believed
the bill in its present form will pass.
