would in fact be benefited by being
able to transact their county business
both quicker and cheaper. This ques-
ton of availability is one that plays
an important part in every question
that comes up for settlement.
We believe that were this a law suit
and the question submitted to twelve
fairminded men who had no interest
in the county, and every town argued
it's case on the merits of their town,
the advantages it offerd and it's avail
ability, that the case would be decided
in favor of Hope, and we don't think
the jury would be out long either.
In this article we have simply touch
ed on some of the points, and shall
take the questions up with the voters
more in detail from time to time, but
we simply ask this question. Is there
any argument in favor of locating at
Finley or Sharon that does not equal
ly apply to Hope? And if you were a
citizen of the City of Hope and the
population of your town was equal to
the other two contestants combined,
and could offer advantages that none
of the other contestants could I'm ad'
dition to al they have to offer,) now
frankly would you feel that you were
the one who should step aside when il
came to a question of agreeing or q
placeto locate your county seat?
Honestly now; citizens of Finley anc
Sharon; Isn't Hope both the BEST
PLACE and the EASIEST PLACE Il
unite on and settle this question once
for all, and settle it right.

and other meetings, than citi-
zens of Hope who go to Finley or
Sharon for business or other pur-
poses, SO that were the county seat
located at Hope more citizens would
be able to combine county business
with business and pleasure trips, with
out making a special trip for the one
purpose Of t~ransacting county bust
ness. Thru the Rural Free Delivery
and the farm telephones nearly the en-
tire southern part of the county is con
nected with the City of Hope, and we
believe we can accommodate o
farmers thru these two agencies than
any other town.
Then comes the question of which
town of the three contestants is the
most easilyunited on. On this ground
we contend that Hope is best situated
SO that in locating the county seat
here, it can be done to the greatest
satisfaction of all towns. In tho first
place we do not want to forget that it
takes two-thirds, or four-sixths of the
entire vote cast, and the City of Hope
has one-sixth of the vote of the county,
or % per cent of the necessary votes
to locate it.
Then Hope is far enough from Shar.
on and Finley SO that in locating here
it would not effect either town in any
way, and we do not think that the citi'
zens of Finley would be content to sex
the county seat at Sharon, nor the PEG
pie of Sharon satisfied to locate a
Finley, neither town would be hurt {

NURSERYMAN
IS ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH ATTEMPT TO De.
FRAUD LOCAL DENTIST.
RELEASED ON BOND
Local Inspector Of State Board 81 Hor-
ticulture Condemned. Trees - OBJ
tanning Money Under False Pre-
lenses Is the Charge

From Wednesdays Daily.
w. M. Logue, said to be a repre-
sentative Of a nursery company of
Charles City, Ia, was arrested yester-
day on a complaint issued by the
county attorney charging him with
obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. He was arraigned before JUS
tice Mann yesterday afternoon and re-
leased on a cash bond of $3.50.
The specific charge against Logue,
is said to be that he sold a quantity
of nursery stock to DR.. Rochelle and
that the trees were infected with a
plant disease, which prevented them
from being brought into this state. 1t
is said that Logue collected $25 from
DIR. Rochelle and took his notes for a
much larger amount IN payment for
the stock.
The doctor intended planting the
trees on his ranch at Huntley, and as
soon as the local inspector Of the
state board OF horticulture condemned
the trees he caused a complaint to be
issued against Logue.
Prof. Cooley Coming.
According to the authorities, II
seems that the state board Of horti
culture has condemned all stock
shipped into the state by the Iowa
company or have ordered all OF II
closely inspected. At any rate Local
Inspector Gardiner was ordered tc
condemn the trees shipped to DR.
Rochelle. y
The packages containing the .nur
sery stock bore a label placed or
them, it is said by Prof. Cooley Of
Bozeman, saying that they had passed
inspection. Logue denies any attempt
to defraud and states that he Is col
lector for the company and that he
believed the stock was in good condi
ton since the packages bore a labe
placed on them by Prof. Cooley. The
Bozeman professor will arrive II
Billings this morning, when the case
will be thoroughly investigated.
