4. 1907 does not intend that Council
shall raise money for current ex-
penses in any such manner. and in my
opinion It cannot be avoided by any
indirect method such as the applica-
tion of a premium on bonds to cur
rent expenses.
In addition to what / have said
relative to these statutes, Section ? OF
the ordinance above referred TO, ex-
pressly provides that:
said Board shall have supervision,
management, direction and control of
the work required to be done with the
proceeds Of the sale of the said bonds. -
This shows clearly that it was in
tended at the time that the proceeds
of the sale of those bonds, whether il
be below or above par should be ap-
piled to the purposes mentioned in the
ordinance,
l have not considered the question
whether your department would be
justified in using this sum Of Sl4,302.50
for current expenses. 1 shall take this
matter up at once and advise you
in few days.
Yours very truly,

is expected that the big farm will
be productive of great quantity Of
grain this year.
Better Farming Methods.
The majority of the farmers who re-
side in the vicinity of Richardton are
deeply interested in better farming
methods and many of them are COM
mencing to use diversified methods
on their farms. The country is we'll
adapted to grazing and to the raising
of stock as we'll as to dairying, and
as soon as more of the residents of the
community adopt diversified methods
there will be still greater prosperity
among them.
Outlook is Bright.
With many new settlers interested
in this section of the state most Of
whom are purchasing homes and farms
in this land of opportunities, Richard
ton and it's surrounding territory will
grow and thrive and it is question OF
only a few years until Richardton will
have graduated from the village class
and be numbered among the progress
i've cities of the Missouri slope.

Roller Mills.

The Richardton Roller Mills are
owned and operated by the Richardton
Milling company and the mills have a
capacity of over 100 barrels day. The

sition.

is located in the eastern part OF the
: city and which is as modern and hand

A Live Commercial Club.

thankful for. which should rank above
MANY of the other points in which 1t
surpasses it's sister towns, and that is
the fact that it has one OF the live
Hest commercial clubs on the slope.

There is a great deal of interest taken
in dairying by the farmers in the CON-
munity and it is hoped that there will
be many more COWS raised by the
farmers and that dairying will be fol-
lowed to an even greater extent in the
future than at the present time.

ing the reverses suffered by the fires
and from lack OF support by the de-
