Congressman Joseph M. Dixon wants
to make the appointment of some pros
pective admiral of the navy. The
News is in receipt of letter from the
gentleman in which he states that there
will be an examination held at Mis-
soula May ? for the purpose of securing
young man between IS and 20 years
of age and eligible, both physically
and mentally, for the appointment of
midshipman. The appointment car
ries salary of $500 per year for four
years while attending the Naval Acad-
envy and when graduated the appointed
one will become commissioned officer
of the navy. Mr.. Dixon concludes his
communication by saying, eff there is
a Dewey, Schley or Sampson in Mon
tana, trust the examining board will
locate him."

Like nearly everyone residing out of

syth, he was pleased at the business en-
terprise being displayed by our citizens
and their apparent faith in the county's
capital by the erection of many credit
able buildings. He says that while
feed in his section has been rather
short the past winter stock is looking
fairly we'll. Owing to the lack of
moisture and warm weather grass in
that part of the county has been slow
in starting and it is the earnest prayer
of the residents there that they might
be favored with showers before it be-
comes too late.

Those interested in the proposition
of constructing large irrigation canal
on the north side of the Yellowstone
evidently mean business, for Monday a
force of engineers was put to work
making the survey for the permanent
line of the canal and as soon as they
have established the line large crew
of graders will commence operations.
AS it is the purpose of those interested
in the project to have the big canal
completed by September, there will be
employment for large force of men.
When completed this ditch will afford
irrigation for about $1,000 acres of the
finest land in eastern Montana. The
present plans are to reclaim the bottom
lands of what is known as Porcupine
creek flats, and if found practical
within year the ditch may be extended
down the Yellowstone nearly to Fl.
Keogh.
Registers and receivers of land off,

tions may be desired at a place to be
designated. Witnesses may demand
in advance the fees and mileage paid
to witnesses in the United States court,
and if they fail to attend after having
been duly subpoenaed, they may be
punished by fine and imprisonment.
The new law gives power to compel
reluctant witnesses to testify and over
comes difficulty that has often been
met, particularly in contest cases.
Geo. Brewster, the prominent Birney
stockgrower, accompanied by his esti-
mable wife and young child, was here
Monday EN- route to Miles City to at
tend the annual meeting of the Stock
growers association. According to
Mr.. Brewster, grass on the Tongue.
river range, as in other parts Of the
county, has been very slow in getting
started this season owing to weather
conditions, and rainfall just at this
time of year is much needed. Mr..
Brewster's section was in that portion
which suffered the ravages of the
grasshoppers last year, and while as
yet these pests have not reappeared.
according to the prediction of the agri-
cultural department, in the event that
they become as numerous there as last
year, it will be necessary for many
residents dependent upon the product
of the range to move their herds.
The Forsyth school board met Sat
urday at the school building and

tors for the ensuing year. Those who

principal of high school; Miss Mary
Fitzpatrick, assistant in high school;

ment; Miss Carrie Casselman, inter-
mediate; Miss Carrie Heath, first
primary; Miss Mile Smith, second
primary. The school board is to be
commended in it's selection of such a
competent body of instructors. 1t is a
good recommendation for the ability of
Forsyth's schoolma ANS. and the fact
that the corps contains three Miss
Carries is no indication that the work
outlined for the future will miscarry.
Yellowstone Journal: Ed. Jones
never misses stock meeting and this
year was again in evidence. Mr..
Jones came to Montana in 1868, ulti-
mately landing at Virginia City, where
he was in the days of the vigilante
committees. In later years Mr.. Jones
wendell his way to eastern Montana,
locating on Froze-to-death creek, where
he took up a ranch and has since lived
there, working early and late for the
improvement of his holdings until he

All of this Mr.. Jones has parted with
together with improvements and 200
head of graded stock to Anthony Furh-
man, of South Dakota, for the consid-
Grafton of $4,000. Mr.. Jones is antic-
ipating a trip to California to earn a
much needed rest, when he may again
take up home here, which locality he
says ''cannot be improved upon in this
world, or any other world"

HERMAN THREATENS SUIT.
He Denies Taking Records of the Wynkoop
Company
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]


Rutherford, N. J.. June ITO Tribune re-
porter tonight Paul Herman denied taking val
liable records from the Wynkoop-Hallenbeck-
Crawford Company or leaving false estimates
for the money order printing contract. For ten
years. he said, he had been superintendent of
the money order, railroad ticket and Ithograph-
ing department of the company. When he re-
signed month ago he took with him all the let
ters addressed to him personally by Superin-
tendent Metcaf of the Money Order Division
and nothing else. He says he will take legal
steps against the company because Of state
ments made
Regarding the false estimate charge Mr.. Her
man says that two months ago, at Mr. Hallen-
beck's request, he made up statement of the
cost of production of the money order blanks
for the month of April This he left in his desk
when he resigned from the company's service,
and this he thinks may be the basis for the
charge Mr.. Herman explains his low bid by
saying that the company which had the con-
tract uses obsolete machinery, and that the work
is done four separate floors under unfavora-
BILE conditions while he has engaged one large
floor, and has contracted for up to date ma
chuery especially adapted for the work. Law
yers for the competitors have been told to sub
nit briefs this week TO First Assistant Post
master General Wynne. Mr.. Herman, who is
represented by Captain Addison Ely, of Ruther-
ford SAYS the contract for four years amounts
to upward of S4OO,OO0; that his figure was about
$4,000 less than that of the Wynkoop-H -Hallen

office authorities to find another indictment
against A ". Machen. the former superin-
tendent of the free delivery system. The charge
