ant further states that during the year of
1907 he lived at Medora Billings county,
State of North Dakota, and that he oper-
ated livery and carried the U. S. mail
from Medora to GorhamP. O. and Mikkel-
son P. o., North Dakota. also, that one J.
A. Ferris was postmaster at Medora dur
ing the same time; also that said affiant
conducted meat market at Medora at the
same time: further that he undertook the
business of land locator that is, locating
homesteaders in the valley of the Little
Missouri tributary to Medora. This last
act incuring the displeasure of ]. A. Ferris
who opposed the introduction of settlers
into this section of the county, Afiant
further states that the said ]. A. Ferris in
order to discourage him in the operation
of his business shipped in fresh meat for
sale. also that he refused to deliver the U.
S. mail to his regularly authorized carrier
and many other ways made every effort
possible 10 make his business improbable.
In other words make it impossible for the
said affiant to make living for himself
and family at his chosen home, Medora,
North Dakota.

An Important Issue.

Lest many of the good
citizens of Billings county. who
are legal voters. overlook the inn
portance OF voting this year. the
Chronicle desires to bring before
your notice particular feature
Of this coming election and which
shcnId elicit your loyal and active
interest. On account of the MANY
new voters and the overwhelming
Republican majority, many voters
will doubtless fail to express them
selves ut the polls and a lack of
interest is quite likely to be mani
tested. Hence. when the time
comes during the next legislature
to reapportion and give us the
proper representation in the legis-
lature. the vote of this Year will
be taken as a basis. If we have
a small vote in the county our
representation will be light. If
we show up a good full vote,
Billings county will he entitled to
more representation in the state
Legislature, and with Hon. A. l..
Martin in the senate Billings
county will get what she is entit]-
ed to. Senator l.. A. Simpson.

influential members Of the state

senate, is "a strong personal friend
of A. l.. Martin. and when Martin
wants anything for Billings conn-
ty-that is just and fair-he will
have Simpsons support, and this
is saying great deal.
In reapportioning the legislative
districts ON the slope, MIR. Martin
stands in favor of making IL district
of Billings and Bowman with as
much representation us possible,
not less than Il senator and two
representatives, and if elected will
put forth his efforts to that end.
John Young and +. +. Mutchler,
candidates for the Legislature from
this district. are also in favor of
this move. as they wish to see
Oliver and Mercer in district bv
themselves, and they will work
in harmony with Messrs. Martin
and Simpson: if elected. 1t is a
matter of prime Importance that
every voter in the county get out
and cast their vote on June 9th.
Let us make our vote as big as
possible SO that we will be entitled
to more representation at Bis
marck. and last but not least. let
us see to it that 4. l.. Martin,
John Young and E. f. Mutchler
are elected so that we will GET
our district reapportioned and
have more representation. Let
everybody get out next Wednes-
day and vote-right.

these facts before lis, we naturally
ask what has Ferris or Mel
son done for the farmers and new
corners! Some time ago we stat
ed in the columns of the Chron-
icle, in reply to an a:tack on Mr..
Martin, that Joe Ferris opposed
the introduction of homesteaders
into the county and through his
efforts one, Geo. Runyon, who
was engaged ut Medora in locat-
ing homesteads for livelihood,
was compelled to leave the town.
This is Il fact, which at the time,
Ferris boasted of, but which,
since, lie has tried to deny and in
so doing took occasion to call the
Chronicle editor Il liar and other
bad names, through his Medora
Herald. We have not made any
statements in the Chronicle about
Mr.. Ferris that are not true.
and we can back everything we
have said. The following will
verify our statements in regard to
the Runyon affair:

office from Presidential electors to
Railroad commissioners and repre-
sent the very best and most re-
liable element of the state.

Reports from Oliver and Mercer
counties show Martin to be the
favorite there for the senatorship.
A letter from an Oliver county
official states that Martin will
carry Oliver 2 to | and Mercer 3
to 1. Billings will probably go
about 2 to i in Martin 5 favor.
according to reports from different
parts of the county.

Cha nged Their Tune.

Did you ever notice the differ
ence in a man S attitude on certain
issues before he became candi-
date for Office and after. In this
respect the change in the attitude
of Joe Ferris and Geo. Nelson
toward the farmers and Beach is
most noticeable. A little over
two years ago Joe Ferris establish
ed the Medora Herald and put
Nelson. who came from South
Dakota, in charge. At that time
neither Ferris or Nelson had any
idea of running for Office, and
from the time that the first issue
was sent ont Ferris, Nelson and
the Herald We're out knocking
Beach and the farmers in general.
In one of their issues after giving
Beach general roasting, they
boasted of the fact that Medora
was situated in a grazing country
and did not have to depend on
farming for a living. In another
issue the Ferris-Nelson organ
stated that ''any time the voters
of this county want the county
seat changed into Montana, they
can vote to have it at Beach. :"
Joe Ferris and Geo. Nelson have
continuously worked against
Beach and the farming interests
here aud elsewhere, until they
became candidates for office, and
then, wanting the farmers vote.
changed their tune, and are now
trying to tickle the farmers under
the chin in order to get their
support.
\ great deal has been said
against MIR. Martin by his enemies,
because he is IL stock owner, and
it is claimed that he opposed the
farming interests, when rs a
matter of fact he was one Of the
incorporators in the first land
company that brought settlers
into the Golden Valley, and today,
AS a merchant ut Sentinel Butte.
he carries over twenty thousand
dollars on his books due him from
newcomers-farmers and home
steaders-whom lie has helped
and is still helping in getting
homes i'll the Valley. Aside from
this his bank at Sentinel Butte
has loaned thousands of dollars
to the new Corners who were short
OF funds in getting started on their
new acquired homesteads. With

The "rechristener'' Is the profession

The rechristener is usually a clever
engraver who through drink or other
wise has lost the chance Of obtaining
honest employment and aids the re.
ceiver Of stolen property. When q
watch has been stolen the number OF

ownership may be forwarded to the
police and by them communicated to
pa wnbrokers. There Is consequently
an element Of risk In attempting to
dispose of it. There are various ways
Of getting over the difficulty. and re.
christening is one that Is frequently
resorted to. The engraver adds or pre-,

Eohn Winds.

The Journal of the Meteorological
Society of Japan contains an account
by DR.. Okada of the occurrence in 10

have been called fohn winds. The
winds to which this name was origi-
nally given are warm winds blowing
down from the snowclad mountains of
Switzerland and producing extensive

hence been called 'snow eaters" The

America blowing down from the
Rocky mountains has been called the
chinook. Fohn winds occur also In the
arctic regions. Blowing sometimes in
midwinter they produce a remarkable
climatic paradox. AS a result of the
elevation Of temperature caused by
them 1t may happen that northern

Why Is the Ocean Sa,t7

The Creator made the ocean salt to
save the land from putrefaction. The
winds blow everything offensive and
p~estilential las far as we allow them
to do the work of boards Of health)
out to sea, where all humors are alb
sorbed by the hungry waters. Salt Is
a purifying agent. The ocean Is a
great manufacturer. It converts every
thing foul into health making ozone
and hands it back to US without
charge. No government label is nee
essary. Stand on the prov Of a ship
for three hours a day, deep breathing
like an athlete, and your lungs will be
cleaned of everything poisonous. Your
blood will leap through veins and arte.
ries. Your heart will be obliged to
thump with renewed force. The tide
Is the oceans tongue. 1t comes IL
twice a day to lick up the foul things
Of the earth and convey them to tn.

gested, sailed down, cured and render

The Grimmest Epitaph.

What is the most terrible epitaph II

surely hat or a stone which was Sc
up a few years ago in the cemetery Of
DeGrescin. eastern Hungary.
1t reads as follows: Here rests in the
Lord Joseph Moritz. ST.. who died IL
his sixty-second year. He was shot by
his o II Frau Joseph Moritz. who died
In her forty-seventh year. She was
shot by her daughter. Elizabeth Mo.
ritz, who died by her own hand in her
seventeenth year after shooting her
mother. Joseph Moritz. who died In
prison. age twenty-seven. He had shot
his father. May eternal mercy have
pity on their poor, sinful souls!"
