CIGAR FACTORY FAKE
N. N. Benshabat a Hot Air Mer-
chant. Many Tewns Are,
Stung.

The hopes of the Harlow business
men to secure large cigar factory,
which would employ about so men,
were badly shattered last week, when
it was discovered that Mr.. Benshabat
was going from town to town giving
the same proposition of establishing
an immense cigar factory, and that he
was nothing but fake.
The would-be cigar manufact turer
drifted in our city last week and made
the people of Harlowton the PROPOSE
tion of establishing a cigar factory
which he guaranteed to employ fifty
men all the year around, and in turn
asking the business men to give him
lot and erect two story building
5OxsO for him on Central avenue.
The building and lot to he turned
over to him at the end of five years
if he fultills his guarantee of employ
ing so cigar makers steady during
that time. This same proposition
was put before the citizens of our
neighboring towns, Roundup being
about the only city that took any
stock in the proposed manufacturing
plant.
1t was learned later that as side
line they were selling cigars, which
were found not to be as represented.

Leon Shaw, supervisor of the ecensus
for the second Montana district, which
includes that portion of the state
lying between the Rocky Mountains
and the Dakota line, was Harlowton
visitor yesterday, enroute from Miles
City to Lewistown. In an interview
with a representative of The News.
Mr.. Shaw said that he was more than
surprised at the material advance
ment shown by Harlowton since his
last visit here, about year ago. The
substantial nature of the new busi-
ness structures and the handsome
residences was more than pleasing to
him.
Concerning the forthcoming census
he said that there was one matter in
particular that he wished to impress
upon all residents OF the county, and
that was, that all information given
census enumerators is to be treated as
strictly confidential, heavy penalty
being provided for disclosures OF any
data given enumerators.
81 am particularly anxious he
said, that a correct and proper
enumeration be had of Meagher coun-
ty, realizing, as / do, that such an
achievement will mean more than
words can convey, in the form of a
splendid standing advertisement fol
the next ten years to come. None
need be afraid that any figures giver
an enumerator will reach any other

OLD GUIDE RETURNS

Gan of the county's resources, in

will result as a magnet in attracting

that no stalisl les will be cleaned more
closely than those of the census re-

and naturally they will be attracted
to live in growing communities and
stay away from those in any other
category. For that reason, am
more than anxious to see every person,
all of the livestock, all of the culti-
waited and unbroken areas properly
enumerated, not only in Meagher,
but throughout the entire state, for
if this is done, Montana is going to
make one of the grandest, if indeed
one of the greatest showing of any,
state in the entire union.
From Meagher county, a number
of applications for positions as enum-
orators have been received and from
these list of names has been select

A WIDENING STREAM

A DISPATCH from Chicago says that
"a during the brief period between
"A March 1 and April Is this spring
between 10000 and $4,000 colonists ac
cording to various railroad managers,
found new homes in the Pacific north
west, in California and in Idaho, Mon
tana, Nevada. Utah, Colorado ami
Wyoming. The spring movement of
cOlonists is regarded as having broken
the record made in the spring of 1909
from Is to 20 per cent.
The Hartman lines alone (the only
ones that have given out exact fgures)
carried 16,542, an increase of 2593 over
a like period in 1909. Last years per-
iod extended to April 80 and the total
movement was 1885 colonists. AL
though no definite figures can be OBJ
tanned from the Hill lines, the move
ment over them into the northwest is
usually at least double that over the
Hartman lines.
Figuring upon this basis the move
ment for six weeks of the spring pc
riod into the northwest and into Cali
fornia, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Utah,
Colorado and Wyoming must have
been approximately $4,000 colonists
A great migration toward the Pacific
is going on that could not now be
checked if we desired. The cumula-
tive effect of the advertising done by
our chambers of commerce, our rail-
roads and our loving friends, the colo
nists who write back and tell their
neighbors of the glories of the Prom
ised Land, is being felt in ever-in-
creasing force. The sh~ewd part of the
American business people are think
ing about the vast market soon to be
opered by the awakening of China and
the completion of the Panama canal,
and farmers are asking themselves
why they should stay on hardscrab-
Bile land in the east when they can
raise four crops to one on Southern
California soil.
Great as has been the immigration
of the past, it will be exceeded by
that of the future-not only in volume
hut in percentage.

TELLS HALF
TRUTH IN UNFOLDING RATES

Editor Herald: I am one of those
citizens who believe in fair play and
a square deal. As such 1 have watched
the process of establishing rates for
electric light, water and telephones
from an impartial standpoint.
This mornings Herald publishes a
letter from the lighting corporations,
purporting to show what is being
charged in other cities. I am for
mer resident of Cleveland, where
paid electric light bills for about ten
years. There the double unit system
of charge is employed; the maximum
charge for minimum consumption is
121s cents per kilowatt, with an i'm
mediate drop to 8 cents per kilowatt
upon consumption of the minimum
Under this system of charging. the
average rate for lighting my home
was about cents per kilowatt. My
neighbors Jared likewise.
The letter published in The Herald
says Cleveland companies charge 121A
cents This is only half the truth;
the average actual charge is less than
9 cents. If the item regarding Cleve-
land is misleading, how about the
other cities mentioned?
I might add I paid cents per kilo-
watt for light in my business, fur
nished by the company referred to
above. L. G. SOMERS.

SCOOPED AGAIN

HN HE HARTFORD DEVELOPER is
not the name of a commodity on
"A sale in the department stores but
of an esteemed contemporary published
in the town of Hartford, Arkansas. The
Developer evidently has one of the
best grapevine telegraph services in
the country, and many news items that
elude the vigilance of other papers find
their way to the Developer over this
wideawake system. For instance, in
a recent issue We find that:
Many tourists that had climbed
Mount Wilson to view the comet
were made seasick by the swaying
of the peak during the earthquakes
which visited Los Angeles, Cal,
and surrounding territory.
1t is a fine commentary on the Angel
city press, we must say, that a noun
tain right in our midst could be rock
ing around like a drunken dromedary
and not be detected at it. Where were
the alert newsgatherers of The Herald
and other local papers when the sea-
sick star-gazers were lodging the fly
ing telescopes, furniture and kitchen
utensils of the denizens Of the observ-
atory and telephoning for a relief
party?
1t is recalled now by one news
gatherer that on a night of the comet
excitement a preoccupied individual,
with an arm wound firmly about
lamp-post in an uptown street, had
his rigid gaze directed not at the
comet the presumed cynOsure of ali
eyes. but in the direction of Mount
Wilson, which he said was rocking
around dreadfully 1t almost makes
me sheashick," he said, but his words
were dismissed as the idle talk Of one
who had succumbed to the influence
of Halley's comet.
It is all clear now. He was the
special correspondent Of the Hartford
Developer, his mind was clear and he
was at the moment scoring his great
scoop on the usually alert press of Los
Angeles. Hats off to the Developer
It was said from Mount Wilson by
telephone last night that the observ-
atory had settled down and was doing
business at the old stand.
