TERRY WANTS
TO INCORPORATE

There is being agitated in
Terry the incorporation of the
town under the laws of the state.
We believe that this good move,
and cannot see where any citizen
or business man could be other
than benefited by such move.
There are a great many improve
ments that Terry needs, and
these have so far been made by
popular subscription. The taxes
derived from all sources under an
incorporation would be much
more than received at present
and those who are now earring
the heaviest burden will pay less.
Every interest in town will be
upon the same footing-but those
who pay nothing now will con-
tribut their share. By all means
have Terry an Incorporated town.

TWENTY-FIVE CENT
WOOL IS PREDICTED

Twenty-Five cent wool next
season is the prediction made by
a Montana sheepman, and he
declares that no grower should
contract for his clip at any figure
less than that. Il was interest
ed in an article which recently
appeared giving an interview
with a railroad man who keeps
more or less in touch with the
wool industry" said the sheep
man, "but l am afraid that this
authority is on better terms with
the wool buyers than with the
productors. l have a clip at the
present time in the Chicago
warehouse. / received a letter
yesterday stateing that | can dis
pose of it for tWenty-seven cents.
This is equivalent to twenty-five
cents in Montana. With the
market manifesting this strength
at this season Of the year, any
wool grower who would be will
ing to contract his 1910 clip for
twenty, tWenty-one, or twenty
two cents would be a most fool
ish man. Present indications
almost certa inly show that wool
next year will be worth not less
than twenty-five cents and when
the buyers come around they
should be compelled to pay this
figure if they are to do business.
One of the best indications that
wool is going to be high next
year, is the activity of buyers
thus early in the season. Each
firm desires to get the contracts
closed now, for fear that the
sheepmen will learn the actual
worth of his fleece if contracting
is delay ed a month or two longer.
Let each grower in the state hold
out for twenty-five cents; if he
dosen't get this figure from the
buyers now. he will get it
after the fleece is sheared next
year. . Times-Journal.

with the exception, that here

PEELED to pay the government a
small royalty. The letter re-
ceived by Mr.. Peck reads as
follows:-
w. H. Peck,
Ekalaka, Montana.
Dear Sir
have just received a tele-
gram from L. L. Sharp Special
Agent in charge Of this district
which reads as follows:
"Mr. j. G. Auld
Miles City, Montana.
Office authorizes me to permit
mining of coal at Ekalaka on
royalty basis if the mining Of the
coal will be of service to the
Government in determining extent
and value of vains. You can so
advise petitioners.
L. L. Sharp"
presume this means that you
can go ahead and mine coal for
the town there, until such time
as some definite arrangement is
made as to royalty, etc., as un-
doubtedly Mr.. Sharp will detail
some special agent to go there
in the near future to take the
matter up. Until then | would
advise that you keep account of
of coal mined.
Very respectfully,

NOTHING TO
CHECK STORY

During the past few weeks a
majority of Montana newspapers
published an article to the effect
that congress at it's last regular
session passed a law making it
a penalty. .offense or any person
to draw or attempt to draw any
note, check, token or obligation
of less amount than 81, and
proving a fine Of $500 and six
months Imprisonment as a
punishment Tor the crime.
While the announcement of such
a law does not greatly effect
icemen, bankers, plumbers and
and other wealthy speoplejwho
are not accustomed to contract
ing obligation in amounts of less
tnan one plunk, and would not
worryaa them selves over such
insignificant sums but3 some
people in Forsyth such as min
listers, newspaper men and'other
poor but honest, who had scrap
ed a few.3cents--together and ssput
their boards into the banks for
safekeeping. Those awho have
been worr;ng over the matter
under the belief that the law was
passed through the Vaccinations
of capitalization the purpose Of
taking from the very poor their
miserable ,?;tttc-nces on deposits
in banks, will be pleased. and
relieved to hear that the treasury
department denies that such a
law exists. Checks for ninety
cents may be written as hereto
for. without fearsof prison star
ing the signer, providing he has
the amount to his credit. The
statement made by the depar-
ment follows; "A bank check
is an order on a banker to pay a
particular some Of money. 1t is
not destined to be put into
circulation as substitute + for
money. There is no conflict
with an old law is issuing checks
for any amount, however small. ;"
AS the law in question was
passed during the session Of 1862
instead of 1909 and as it doesn't t
prevent the issuance of any size
check from one cent up, on the
part of any man who has bank
balance, or pretends to have,
there seems no need for further
excitement among the men with
small accounts. Forsyth Times

-,ANGM.AN, w IS 1850 s-R--oN
Until 1C0 Years AGO ExecUso"ers
Were Perm ittcd to Practice.

Two or three centlr. es ago exc gu
toners not iafre Il nty performed
surgica, operations, says the British
Medical Journal. This seems to have
been parti, ularly the ca e in Denmark.
July "a, 1879, a license was issued by
Frederick H. TO Anders Freimut, exc
cutioner of Copenha gen, granting him
the right to set bones and treat old
wounds; he was expressly forbidden
o mcddle VIII recent wounds. In 1903
it is recorded in the municipal
archives of CorenEagen that Gaspar,
the hangman, had received four rig
dalers for the cure of two sick childle
in he intirmary. In 1898 Christian ~
summoned the exccui ioner of GluCk
stadt in Hoistein to examine the dis
eased foot of the crown prince. In a
letter addressed to Ole Worm, a lead
ing Danish lhysiciaa OF the day, Hen:y,
Roster. hysician-in-orCiaary 10 the
king, complains bitterly of the sligh
thus put upon him. He says that for
two whole months tie hangman, who
is as fit to treat the case as an as
is to play the Tyre had the case il
hand and the doctor was not askC d
his advice. Again, in 16S
Christian V. gave a fee of 200 rigs
dalers to the Copenhagen hangman
for curing the leg of page. In 1882
Bergen, an executioner in Norway, was
authorized by royal decree to practice
surgery.
Even up to the early years of the
nineteenth century this extraordinary
association of surgery with the last
penalty of the law continued Erik
Peterson, who was appointed prb,ic
executioner at Trondhjem in 1896,
served as surgeon 10 an infa1 1try regi-
ment in the war with Sweden, and re-
tired in 1914 with the rank of surgeon
major. Frederick l. of Prussia chose
his favorite hangman, Coblenz, to be
his physician-in-o n-ordinary. 1t might be
suspected that this peculiar combina-
ton Of functions had it's origin in Il
satirical view of the art of healing
but in the records we have quoted We
can trace nothing of the kind. Per
haps the executioner drove trade il
human fat and other things supposed
to possess marvellous healing prope~-
ties; he may thus have come to b
credited with skill in healing, though
the association surely represents the
lowest degree to which the surgeon
has ever fallen in public esteem and
social position.

REPORT VERIFIED.
No Doubt Remains That the Word
From Dr.. Cook Is Correct.

Copenhagen, Sept. 1.-That DR.
Frederick A. Cook, the American ex-
plorer, reached the North Pole in his
expedition, which has just ended, is
given full credence here, although de-
tails are lacking of his intrepid dash
across the ice. A message was receiv-
ed at the colonial office here this morn
ing via Lerwick, Shetland islands, an
nouncing that DR.. Cook reached the
pole April 81, 1908. This dispatch was
sent by a Greenland official on board
the Danish government steamer Hans
Egede, which passed Lerwick at noon
today en- route for Denmark and read
as follows:
I'VE have on board the American
traveller, DR.. Cook. who reached the
North Pole April 81, 1908. DR.. Cook
arrived at Upernavik in May of 1909,
from Cape York. The Esquimaux OF
Cape York confirm DR.. Cooks story of
his journey"
It is understood that the Danish con-
sui at Lerwick, where the Hans Agede
remained for two hours, was officially
notified of DR.. Cooks success in his at
tempt to reach the pole, but that he
was bound to secrecy concerning the
extent and nature of the explorers dis
.overies. Director Ryberg, head of the
Greenland administration bureau, said
tonight that he did not expect to re-
:eive any further details of DR.. Cooks
achievement before the arrival of the
Hans Egede at this port, which prob
ably would be Saturday afternoon. The
vessel will make no stops on the voy-
age from Lerwick to Copenhagen.
Director Ryberg proceeded to the
American legation and informed the
minister DR.. Maurice F. Egan. that DR..
Cook had reached the North Pole. The
announcement caused the greatest en-
,husiasm throughout the city and the
egation was over-crowded with Wis
tors tonight.
The noted explorer, Commander
Hovgard, leader of various North Pole
expeditions, was convinced that the
message that DR.. Cook reached the
pole was true, but remarked that it
was strange that no mention was made
in the cable whether or not there is
land at the pole. It is the intention Of
the people Of Copenhagen. on DR..
Cooks arrival here, to give him most
enthusiastic reception.
