The Cut Bank Townsite Tangle.

HELENA, Feb. l0.-Business houses
and residences of Cut Bank, in the
northern part Of Teton county, are
stu ated upon land owned by the Great
Northern railroad, and by the state of
Montana, and the land upon which the
school house is situ ated is the only
tract in that village whose title Is
clear. This is the gist of the report
to be made to state board of land COM
m~issioners by State Engineer John w.
Wade, who returned yesterday from
Cut Bank, where he vas engaged in
surveying and making plats of the vii.
lage.
This stu alton Is the result Of q long
controversy between the state and a
settler named Allison for possession
of the land on which Cut Bank is
built. Believing that Allison was the
rightful owner of the land, property
owners either purchased or leased lots
from the settler, with no reference to
the claims of the state or Of the rail.
road. A recent decision of the court
places this land In possession of the
rightful owners, thus making the form
err deeds given by Allison invalid.

Suit Clubs Are Lotteries.

HELENA, Feb. S.-Suit clubs are
lotteries under the Montana statutes
and therefore not allowed, according
to an opinion rendered by Attorney
General Galen in reply to a query of
County Attorney Law of Bozeman.
The attorney.general says the courts
Of Georgia, Michigan and Minnesota
have held the same way and their
statutes are identical with the Mon
tana law. If the matter is tested in
court aud sustained it will hurt many
clothiers who conduct them in connec.
ton with their regular business. The
agreements provide a person must pay
q dollar per week for SO many weeks,
depending upon the price Of the suit,
but if, in the weekly drawing, q mem.
Der wins q suit, he drops out and no
longer pays.

Montana Grain In Demand.

A larger demand tor Montana grain
for cereal food manufacture is indicated
in reports from Fergus county, which
state that f. r johnson, a represen.
taeive of the Quaker Oats company, is
Investigating agricultural conditions
in that locality. Referring to the pur.
pose of MIR. Johnsou's visit, a Lewis
town news item says:
His interest 10 the subject has led to
the conclusion that this visit may turn
out TO be an important q for this
country later IN. He states that Mon.
tana grains are now far ahead of those
grown in any other portion OF the
United States for the manufacture of
cereals. Montana wheat is just as de-
sirable as the oats, the berries of both
grains being unusually large and hard
and they yield more of cereal food to
the oushel than the same grade of
grains raised anywhere else ia the en-
tire countrv, owing to the fact that the
| Montana grains are heavier.
He notes, however, some careless
ness with respect to farming methods,
as we'll as with regard to the market.

taken and more scientific methods en-
pluyed Mr.. johnson says the value O.

In the Grasp Of the Grip.

The epidemic of grip that has
claimed many victims in northern
Montana the past few weeks, is still
doing business in this locality. 1t is
one of the worst visitations Of the
ailment that has eve happened, very
few families having escaped its atten-
ton.
According to uews reports from
demic has reached serious proportions
in some of the larger eastern cities,
one of the dispatches stating tina over
half q million patients are under treat
ment by Chicago physicians. The
stu alton in that city caused the health
authorities to issue a bulletin which
Gays the grip is bad enough in itself,
but it leads to results that are serious.
Much of the suffering entailed by the
grip is due TO carelessness on the part
of those who contract the disease: the
ounce of prevention is worth consid-
erably more than the pound OF cure in
this case.
These are the items of advice that
Chicago's experts have sem Out to
their constituency: Don't neglect
slight colds: dress warmly: breathe
through the nose: keep the feet dry:
don't wear wraps indoors; shun
drafts: keep rooms we'll ventil ated:
don't overea,: avoid alcoholic bever-

South Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers'
Association Makes Estimate.

At the meeting of the South Caro-
lima Cotton Seed Crushers' Associa-
tion. held In Asheyille, N. c., last
week, many meters of Importance
ITO the association were discussed.
Chief among these was an esti-
mate made by the members attend
ing the meeting i'm regard to the cot
ton crop for South Carolina for this
year. Each member was given a
card on which were prtuted ques-
tions as to the condition Of the crop
at present, how it has been up to
now, the prospective total crop this
year, and the comparison with last
years crop, The cards were care
fully attended to, and the results
showed that this association he
lieves the crop will total about
1,17S,000 bales, which is about
1000 bales less than last years crop.
A few of the members from the
North Carolina association being
present, estimated that the crop for
North Carolina this year would be
about SCI, 900 bales.
There were about fifty members at
the meeting.

!, THE oLERK's oFFIoE AGAIN,
Mr.. Hamilton Gives His Ideas as to
Public Affairs. D. i

Editors Keowee Courier. An arti-
Gle from G. G. Jaynes5 appeared in
your paper recently, requesting an
expression of views by certain per-
sons as to the Clerks salary. In
giving my views they shall not be
confined to the Clerks salary alone,
but to the services and salaries of
I county officers generally, with a de-
sire to do no one an injustice.
The object of the inquiry, as 1 un-
derstand 1T, is to know what the
Clerk receives in, fees in addition to
the $500 allowed him for services
rendered the county. The Clerk
/ should be the most competent one to
give this information His services
are two-fold--first, to. the county, for
which he is paid salary of 5000
from the county funds; secondly, to
the individual, for which the law al.
lows him to charge fixed fees. If the
fees are excessive they should be re-
duced, but not, in my judgment, in
adequately to pay good salary.
believe this is the most equitable and
satisfactory system from the fact that
the individual pays for his records,
and the Clerk, knowing that he Is
dependent on the individual for his
fees instead of the county for his
salary, would render more satisfac-
tory and cheerful service. So much
for the Clerk.
| see from the articles of some of
those who have replied, as well as
from the statements of some Of the
candidates, that there is a diversity
Of opinion in reference to the salaries
of public officials. l am opposed to
extravaganza, in public as well as In
private affairs, but am no advocate
of cheap service. First-class service
is never rendered by cheap men. 1t
is an established fact, conceded by
all good business men, that good
men always demand good salaries.
To become proficient in any line of
work requires certain amount of
practice and experience, and it is
from such experience only that we
may expect to obtain good results.
A man may be scrupulously honest
and vet not possess the requisite
gu llifications for public officer. We
need honest, broad and progressive
calculate, deal intelligently and sue
cessfully with public issues, and who
have the courage to speak and act
their convictions. With such men in
Office we would have better laws and
we'll executed.
! believe that our Indebtedness of
$4,000 and our high tax rate is
largely due to the bad management
and incompetency of some Of our for
mer county officials. / believe that
it is much better for the public in
terest and welfare, when we get good
men in Office, to keep them there.
