STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council
Thursday, Dec. 10, at 10 A. M.

Hon. A. w Gilman Of FoXcroft, COM
missioner Of agriculture and Capt. E.
T.. PhilbrOok of Portland. Of the brown
tail moth commission. were at the
Capitol for a few hours Friday on mat
ters of business connected with the Of
fee in general way and also for the
purpose of consultation in regard to
sending men to kittery to meet the
party Of men under d. NJ. Rogers, the
special field agent for the New Eng
land states of the bureau of entomolo-
Sy connected with the United States
department of agriculture, the party
having been sent to Maine by the gov
eminent to investigate the conditions
regarding the browntail moth. and
also the gypsy moth, which has been
reported as having made its way across
the Maine border from New Hampshire,
although no proof has yet been sub
mitted to show that the report was a
true one.
Owing to the illness Of Prof. F.. F.
Hitchings of Waterville the State en-
tomologist, it was impossible for him
to go to kittery to meet the MaSsachu-
sets party and it was decided that
Cap. PhilbrOok should go in his stead.
Accordingly that gentleman left for
kittery in the afternoon and on his ar
rival will confer with Mr.. Rogers re-
garding the work to be done in the
State and give such assistance as may
be possible.
Another matter which was taken up
yesterday forenoon was the offer made
by Prof. Kirkland. the head of the
chusetts, and approved by the United
States government, to instruct such
men as the Maine Department of Ag-
riculture might see fit to send to Massa-
chusetts regarding the brOwn-tail
and gypsy moths, especially the latter.
the cost of instruction to be borne by
the government. The proposal was ia
yOrahly considered, and it was decided
to send four men to Massachusetts for
that purpose.
Prof. kirkland is probably one OF the
best authorities in the United States
on the subjects of the brOwn-tail and
gypsy moths, and under his charge the
men will be given every opportunity to
familiarize themselves with the lives
and habits of the two pests, thus gain
ing by experience an amount OF
knowledge which should be of great
value in the crusade against the brown
tail moth in Maine and the gypsy moth

Friday, Dec. "a.
Agent Pratt Was the Only Wit.
ness Yesterday.

Tho session of the court of county
commissioners, before which the peti-
tinn for the abatement of tn" 1909 AMI
1906 taxes of the Edwards Co. has been
heard during the last six weeks, was
quite short Yesterday and the rest of
the day was spent in viewing outside
property All the evidence for both
sides has been introduced and all that
remains are the arguments which will
be heard Friday, December IA.
The session opened with Agent Al
bert J.. Pratt on the stand under cross
examination as to his renewal Of ma
chinery tables presented Thursday
night. In answer to questions Mr..
Pratt stated that he used Whiting :
machine books in making up the esti-
mated savings in labor cost. The ex-
anlina ton was largely Of a technical
nature and not easily understood by
one not familiar with the cotton in
dustry. In summing it up the state
ment was made that the mill would be
run with 1860 srindles to get the
same production as now. This would
be o production of 1.3S pounds per
week per spindle on warp and LA
pounds on filling. The witness was
asked if there was a mill in New Eng
land that was getting that production
on the same yarns that are used here
ard he replied that he did not think
SO.
In answer to questions put by At
torney Dutton. it was brought out that
the total estimated saving would be
SOL 900. and that if this was capitalized
according to the method used by +. p.
Sheldon. early in the hearing. it
would wipe out the whole plant. 1t
was further shown that the first cost
OF the improvements might be SO great
that corporation could not afford to
make the charges.
The counsel for the petitiOning cor
poratiOn filed with the commissioners
schedule of the valuations of several
pieces Of outside property that have
been mentioned in the case, covering
several years.

The Indians at Crow Agency are de-
veloping tacticts which if continued will
make them eligable to the select "4OO'
OF New York or to the imerial courts

ten days ago by Ben Long. Ear who
eloped with the handsome, bewitching
and talented Mrs. Crooked Arm. The
happy pair are now sojourning among
the Blackfeet tribe where they are be.
ing Toasted and feated for their valor
in carrying out up-to-date ideas. The
other bucks and buckesses, noting the
good favor with which Ben Long Ear
and Mrs. Crooked Arm met, not being
able to trump, followed suit in such
rapid succession as to cause Major
Reynolds to suspicion that the buck
halt OF his tribe would elope with the
buckess half and leave him to roam

The Montana Daily Record in it's

The Montana Daily Record in it's
issue of Tuesday, in commenting upon
the adoption of the primary election
law in various counties of the state,
says that the law is republican
measure. Wonder why they do not
adopt the law in Rosebud county? The
republicans are in absolute control of
the political situation in this county.
Therefore it's up to them to make good
their party pledge. Don't believe
there is a democrat in the whole county
that would oppose its adoption. There
are many other counties in eastern
Montana which are in the same column
politically, as Rosebud, yet we have
noticed no stampede toward the adop-
ton of this wholesome measure. Can
1t be that the eastern Montana republi-
cans are going to prove untrue to their
party pledge? The people have placed
themselves on record as wanting the
law, hence there is no valid reason
why it's adoption should be postponed.

ment. If this reservation is opened
up it will secure vast amount of
good bottom lands and will open up a
large area of country to civilization.
The opening of these reservations will
do much for Montana and afford a
