VISIT TO FLATHEAD VALLEY
Was at Malta Strengthening Up Ir-

ers in that Section.

Senator Joseph M. Dixon was in
Kalispell for a few hours Sunday
night on his way home from Malta
and other Milk River valley points,
where with Congressman Pray he
was attempting to get the irrigation
troubles of the settlers Strengthened
out. The particular trouble at this
time is that unless the settlers down
the valley sign up the contracts with
the government, there is danger that
the secretary of the interior may di-
vert the funds that were allotted to
the Milk river project to some other
point where the preliminary work
has been done, and there is urgent
demand for money to complete the
work. Mr.. Dixon said that when the
situation was explained the set
lers got busy at once, and are now
signing up rapidly, and he hopes to
see matters moving along smoothly.
The senator arrived on the delayed
Burlington, and went across the lake
Monday, intending to stop at
Roman to look into some matters

STATE SEALER CORBY SAYS
MERCHANTS SHOW DESIRE
HAVE SCALES TESTED.
WEIGHTS WILL Be SEALED
Merchants Must Have All Their
Weights and Measures Inspected
and Tested with Standards Kept
by the County.

State Sealer of Weights and Meas
ures Joseph Corby is making a
tour of the state having conferences
with the clerks and county commis-
sioners CT the various counties in
regards to the new law which was
passed at the last legislature max
ing each county clerk and recorder
G. deputy sealer of weights and
measures and providing a set of
standard weights and measures in
the county which each dealers
weights and measures must be test
ed by to determine their accuracy.
Mr.. Corby is now at Great Falls, and
will be in Flathead county before
very long. He says:
Montana is going to insist on her
weights and measures act as passed
by the last session of the legislature
being taken seriously and being
obeyed strictly.
1T must be said for the business
men that we have found in them
very general sympathy in the en-
forcement of the law" continued
Mr.. Corby. "They want to live up
to the law and are trying to do So
One thing that has been a source OF
some aggravation is a class of scales
which are said to be accurate as tC
weight, but they are of the compu-
ting class. and while they weigh
we'll. sometimes we find them Lame
in their computation. This, however
will be eliminated in time, and il
may be said on my authority that
my office will not hesitate to con.
denim any scales which we find are
not accurate"
Mr.. Corby recently asked Attorney
General Galen for an opinion OF
several points of the law which have
been brought to his attention thru
various channels and the attorney
general provided the state sealel
with a written opinion on all points
in question. Under this opinion, il
is held that the powers and dutie:
of deputy county sealers and those
of deputy sealers in cities where
they are officials of the municipa
government to act for the city, ,art
equal and coordinate, but all art
subordinate to the state sealer, ,botl
as to standard used and as to worl
done.
Another point the attorney genera
makes is that it is the duty of tn.
respective counties to provide ant
keep in the office of their deput.
standards of weights and measures
which, by the statute, is made /.
proper charge against the county.
There is a fee required for in
specting scales, but no charge 4
