All Games of Chance Are Closed Up
Without Aay DifficuIty--Much
Speculation Rife.
CORNELL TIGHTS THE ORDINANCE
Will Make a Test Case of the Bond
QuestiOn--All Other Saloons
Give the Bond.

Lewistown is now closed town as
on the first of the month all houses in
which gambling games were conducted
quietly boxed up their chips covered
up their layouts and prepared to wait
for something 'to turn up" before
opening again, if they ever are per-
mitted to open. There was no trouble
at all over the closing of the games
as all the men who conducted the
games closed up voluntarily. The
gambling fraternity take a rather
discouraging view Of the situation
ank say that Lewistown is ''dead
one" SO far as their business is con
cerned.
The city struck a snag in their
efforts to enforce the new license ordi-
nance. 1t was thought that all the
saloons would give the bond but
George CORNELL not only refused to
give the bond but says that he will
fight the ordinance to the last ditch.
He was refused a liquor license and
when he opened up Saturday, war
rant for his arrest was issued. He
went before Police Magistrate Mac
Gowan, his case was set for Monday
and was Immediately permitted to go
with but a nominal bond.
The case was called yesterday after
noon and Huntoon, Worden & Smith,
the attorneys for CORNELL, entered a
demurrer to the complaint. Police
Magistrate MacGowan took the de-
murrer under advisement until today
at 2 O'Clock. 1t is proposed to attack
the constitutionality of the bond
which the city requires under the new
ordinance. An amendment was made
to the ordinance at the regular coun-
Gil meeting last night and City
Attorney DeKalb states that he is
ready to go to the higher courts on the
proposition. He will dismiss the old
complaint against CORNELL this after
mood and file another Immediately
afterwards.

DRY LAND FARMING
Professor linfield Wants $1,000 for
Some Experiments.

Helena, Feb. 2.-Director F. B. Lin
field, of the agricultural experiment.
station at Bozeman, is in the city for
the purpose of enlisting the interests
OF the legislature in the project that
he expects will be of very material
benefit to the farmers of the state.
Professor Linfield has just returned
from Bismarck, where he attended
the sessions of the North Dakota irri-
CATION congress, and where he was in
conference with Elwood Mead of the
irrigation division of the office OF ex-
pertinent stations, United States de-
partment of agriculture, and Thomas
Cooper, land commissioner of the
Northwest Pacific Railway company.
His visit to Helena at this time is
the outcome of this conference.
''The most important matter dis
cussed at our conference" Prof. Lin
field said today, twas the question of
conducting experiments in dry land
farming in Montana. Mr.. Cooper, on
behalf of the Northern Pacific, prof
fered to turn over to the experiment
station the sum of $1,000 to be devot-
ed to these experiments, provided the
government and the state would each
contribute 81, 900 to this fund.
"The federal agricultural depart
ment will place the $1,000 asked at
our disposal, and am here to go be-
fore the committee on appropriations
to endeayor to have the state of Mon
tana give its share to the fund.
"The plan, as far as it has been
worked out, is to have these expert
ments conducted at number Of
points. near Helena, near Dillon
and at several points on the Northern
Pacific, between Helena and the
North Dakota line. The entire re-
sponsibility for the work will be placed
in the hands Of the Montana agricul-
tural experiment station, and the
money Of the railroad people and of
the government will be placed in our
hands as soon as the state of Montana
approprtates this states share.

OSTEOPATn VACCINATION ILLEGAL
Decision Of the Local Board of Health
Sustained by Attorney General.

There has been considerable dis
cussion in this county as well as in
other counties throughout the state
regarding the legality of vaccination
certificates given by osteopaths. The
local board of health ordered all school
children attending the Lewistown
schools to be vaccinated In few
instances the vaccination was per-
formed by an osteopath and when
such certificates appeared the board
of health refused to accept them, hold
ing the osteopathic certificate to be it,
legal.
DR.. H. H. Wilson, chairman of the
local board, applied to the state board
to health for enlightenment on the
point and the matter was referred TO
Attorney General Galen for an opin-
ion, who practically sustains the de-
cision of the local health authorities.
Where the law requires vaccination
osteopathic certificates will not be
recognized in this state. Such is the
opinion sent to DR.. Thomas E. Tuttle,
secretary of the state board of health.
1t is as follows:
II am in receipt of your letter of the
3rd enclosing letter of DR.. H. Fl. Will
son, county health officer of Fergus
county. You make request for the
opinion of this office as to whether
vaccination performed by osteopaths,
or persons other than regularly quail
flied and licensed physicians, is a suf-
ficient compliance with the law.
In answer to this question | will
say: The rules and regulations pre-
scribed by the county board of health
govern. The law of 1901 provides:
1t is the duty of the board of health
of each county to establish for the
county or any part thereof, such rea-
sonable sanitary rules and regulations
as may be necessary to prevent the
outbreak of infectious or contagious
diseases. Any person failing or refus-
ing TO comply with or obey the rules
and regulations is guilty of misde-
meanor'
therefore vaccinations and yacci-
nation certificates must be made as
prescribed by the rules and regulla-
tions OF the county board of health.
Yours respectfully,
ALBERT j. GALEN,
Attorney General"

members of his cabinet are made up.
fully on the question.
They have determined that the .'beef
trust shall obey the law, and now
that the highest court in the land

"Our plan is to go out to the farm
OF some practical farmer and there
conouct the experiments, having him
devote his whole time to the work
under the direction of the station.
We want to experiment on the upper
bench lands where water is not avail
able, and thus ascertain just what
crops are best adapted to these lands
and the best methods of handling
them.
IL am taking the matter up with
the Great Northern people in the hope
ofenlisting theirco-operation in expert
ments of like character in the north
ern part Of the state. In fact, we al
reads' have some work in the vicinity
OF Great Falls under consideration
And along the Milk river we are con-
templating experiments for the grow
ing OF some % varities of alfalfa for
the purpose Of determining the vari-
ETY. that is beast adapted to the eli
mate and conditions in that part of
the state.
I'VE are not asking much from the
legislature, and in vew of the fact
that the contemplated experiments
should prove of great benefit to the
state, it seems that the legislature
should meet the government and the
railway company in the proposition. "

FIXING RATES A HARD JOB.
Railroad Man Says Government HAS
Difficult Task.

Missoula, Feb. 4.-Vice President
]. NJ. Hannaford, of the Northern Pa
cific railroad, who has been making
tour of the western divisions, ex-
pressed himself today as opposed to
the interstate commerce commission
being given power to regulate rates.
He said:
Forgetting whatever interest may
have in the railroads and looking at
it from an impartial standpoint, it is
hard for me to see how commission
at Washington, D. c., can justly name
the rates in all parts of the country,
thousands of miles away. Gather any
number of men there at Washington,
from any walk in life, and they cer-
tainly can not be better at making
rates than the railroad men who have
made it special study, and for that
matter their life work. l have spent
about 80 years in the railroad busi-
ness, and l assure you that | do not
want to be on commission with
such a job ahead of me.
Every section of the country will
be appealing to the commission on
real or imaginary grievances; and it
is only natural that there would be
friction between the commission and
the traffic managers instead of the
harmony which should exist.
'As railroad man, am interested
only in making rates along our line,
and I let the fellow in Texas or New
Mexico make rates foi the patrons
along his road. What makes big
difference upon our rates has no bear
ing upon him.
"A certain amount of monev has
to be earned by every railroad. 1t
must make the operating expenses of
the whole road and ought to give a
fair return on the capital invested.
Hundreds of miles of our 5000 miles
OF track do not pay operating expen-
ses. Every honest traffic manager
must SO adjust the rates that the traf-
fic which can best afford to make up
the losses does So and afterward to
reduce those rates as fast as condi-
tions will warrant. l am opposed to
all secret discrimination and rebates,
and every railroad man is. There
are none in this section, because the
competition is not keen enough and
the Great Northern officials are as
anxious to keep out of the hands of
receivers as we are"

Push Proceedings,

Washington, Jan. 31.-It can be
said by authority that unless the cor
porations constituting the alleged
'.beef trust" shall heed the injunction
made permanent yesterday by the de-
cision OF the supreme court of the
United States, the government shall
institute proceedings against the indi-
vidual members of the corporations
to enforce the decision of the court.
The proceedings will be under the
criminal law, If suchcan be instituted.
The minds of the president ;and the
