MISS NORTON WINS.
Hiss Bessie Norton Wins Her Suit
Against the School Board
Of District II.
Judge Baxter Says Board Must Pay
Her for Amount of Contract
Which Was Annuiled,

School district No. II will have to
pay to Miss Bessie Norton the sum of
$3.50 with interest for an annullment of
her contract which she made with the
school board of that district to, teach
an eight-months term of school.
Judge Baxter this week decided the
case in her favor and allowed her
judgment for the full amount. The
case was on the calendar at the Sep
TENDER term of court and jury trial
was waived and arguments submitted
to the court, Judge Baxter finding in
his order that "plaintiff acted in good
faith in her dealings with the defend
ant, and she should not suffer on ac-
count of a quarrel beween other par
ties and be deprived of her just dues. -
The case was the outcome Of a long
and bitter fight that has been waged by
County Commissioner Norton and the
members of the school board of that
district. Mr.. Norton had been treas
urer of the school board for some
time and his niece, Miss Norton, had
taught the school for a term or two.
In the meantime Mr.. Norton became
involved in quarrel with members of
the board and his Office was declared
vacant and O. A. Ladin was chosen
by the board to fill his place. The
board had entered into a contract
with Miss Norton to teach the school
for another term before Mr.. Ladin was
chosen q member of the board, and
after he became treasurer, the contract
was repudiated by the board. Mr..
Norton Instituted quo warranto pro-
ceedings against Ladin to show cause
by what authority Ladin was acting
as treasurer of the board. The writ
was returnable before Judge Searle at
the April term of the Mile Laos county
court and motion was made by the
attorney for the board to quash the
writ as there were other remedies at
law for the plaintiff. The motion to
quash was granted, and an appeal was
taken to the supreme court which will
be heard at the April term.
After this disposition Of the quo
warranto proceedings Miss Norton
began a civil action against the school
board for her salary for the term she
was engaged to teach. She held her.
self in readiness to teach the school
during the time for which she was en-
gagged. It was argued by the defend
ants that she could have found other
work while she was awaiting the op-
portunity to teach the school in dis
trict No. II, and what she could have
earned during that time should be an
offset to her claim, but the court says
|"plaintiff was a professional teacher
and was not bound to seek employ
ment that she was not fit to perform. "
A stay of thirty days has been
granted in the case.

A pleasant surprise 1t was to the

upon her arrival from the east.
The Reverend w. D. Clark was the
officiating minister and the ceremony
was performed at the parsonage Of

EMPLOYING DRAINAGE TO FREE
SOIL OF ALkALI.
ITS SUCCESS NOT DOUBTED
Agricultural Department Will Make
Important Experiment in This
and Other Counties. f'fss''

In furtherance of the plans formu-
lated by the department of agricul-
ture to make extensive experiments
with dry farming and the reclamation
OF alkali soils by sub-drainage, Pro
fessor Baker of the experiment station
OF the agricultural college at Bozeman
arrived in the city a. day or two ago.
The intention is to lease small tract
OF land. about 10 acres, near thy city,
on which to carry out the ideas of the
experts in the direction of reclaiming
soil rendered unproductive by reason
Of the presence Of excessive quanti-
ties of alkali.
The theory it is intended to demon
strate is that by sub-draining the
soil may be freed of alkali, as the
tiling will take care Of the salt that
works its way to the surfce,. while
that on the surface will be dissolved;
hy the water employed in irrigating
and while held in solution will be
either carried off direct or follow
the water into the drain pipes and
then into the ditches Many expert
ments have satisfied the department
oil the practicability of the plan and
the intention is to put it into prac-
tice in different parts of the state and
fro csh Nv
farmers and others interested in soil
reclamation.
Already arrangements have been
made to make similar experiments IN
Gallatin and Cascade counties AS
fast as possible the work will be ex-
tended in various sections of the state.
as the growing demand for farming
lands and the ever decreasing area
of public lands suitable for agricul-
tural purposes have decided the de-
partment to do all in it's power to
render productive every acre possible
While admitting the considerable
initial cost of an elaborate system
OF drainage such as is contemplated
in the experiments now about to be
instituted, those directing them aver
that the increased productiveness OF
the land so treated will in short
time more than compensate the own
ers for the outlay The proper way
to estimate the value OF land is by
it's ability to produce feed, vegetables
or cereals, say the experts. The limit
of productiveness of land in Montana,
they contend, has not yet been at
tanned and anything that will increase
it's powers OF production adds in di-
rect proportion to its commercial val
ue. Hence, they argue, any expendl.
| ture of money or labor that will i'm
prove land in this respect is capital
| well invested, as liberal returns on the
investment are assured.
