Controller Asked to Decide Army
Horse Forage Problem.

How far away from his post of duty
may an Officer Of the army keep a horse
and still draw pay for forage is prob
lem which the War Department has
asked the controller Of the Treasury to

Now the question has arisen as to
whether an officer who is OH duty in

The mud-slinging campaign in
Stevens county was started last
week by former Senator Ander-
son, who has broken into the
newspapers with his tale of woe
regarding R. A. Thayer, who is
also a republican candidate for
the state senate.
It seems that Thayer accom-
plished considerable in the last
legislature, and Anderson was
not fortunate enough to accom-
plish much of anything, except
to vote against the local option
law, which his party was pledged
to enact. Representatives Sped
den and Thayer voted for it,
Anderson's record in the legis-

enviable. He was the man who
had the bill passed which pre-
vents farmers from bringing suit
against railroads for stock killed
