IN MEMORY OF JUDGE TALLANT

was appointed postmaster at this
place, He made y very efficient
official, but resigned to again run for
the legislature in 1898, but was de.
feated. He was later appointed
Chinese inspector in the customs SER
vice from which office he resigned in
1900 to enter the mining business. In
the fall of 1902 he left Great Falls for
the Little Rockies where he became
engaged in the mining business with
Louis Goslln, and where he remained
up to the time Of his death.
In politics Mr.. Tallant enjoyed the
respect of even his opponents because
OF the fact that he always kept his
political promises. He was an orator
OF considerable merit and was very
prominent in the party councils. Be-
fore coming to Montana he was allied
with the political bosses who were in
the ascendancy in that state and had
much to do with the construction Of
that state in its early days. He was
deeply engaged in the capitol fight in
that state, and after coming to Mon
tana he was a leader of the republican
faction supporting Marcus DAILY in
his side of the Montana capitol fight.
Mr. Tallant was 50 years of age at the
tine OF his death.

The funeral services of the late
Judge ID. j. Tallant were held last
Thursday afternoon at the NJ. E.
church, Rev. l.. J. Christler, olficia-
ting. A message was received from
immediate relatives at Santa Bar
bara, Cal, to inter the remains in
the Malta cemetery. Accordingly,
following the service at 2:3O at the
church the body was laid at rest in
the cemetery near our city.
Judge Tallant at one time was
prominent in the life and develop
ment of Great Falls and Cascade
county. We qnote from the Daily
Tribune, the following:
Judge Tallant, who for quite a
number of years resided in Great
Falls before going to Chouteau
county, was very prominent in local
politics and at one time served as
postmaster in this city. He was ed
ucated in the Baltimore Military
school, studied law and was admitted
to the bar in Grand Forks. n. d., in
1879. Following his admission to
the bar he practiced in Grand Forks
for time as a member of the law
firm of Tallant s. Hamilton. Later
he served as the probate Judge of
Grand Forks county. He was
married in that city, his wife dying
in 1888. After leaving Grand Forks
for time he conducted a newspaper
in Rugby, N. ID.
In 1889 Judge Tallant came to Mon
tana and spent his first summer in
this state in what is now the town OF
Cascade. In the fall of that year he
came to Great Falls. For Il number
OF years he was engaged here in law,
mining and politics, being a stauncl,
republican and one of the leaders in
the party caucuses. He was elected
in 1892 to the Legislature from Cas-
cade county, and was also member
of the legislative body elected III 1894
In 1896, during the silver campaign,
he was chairman of the republican
county central committee and in 1897

Moore Telephone Sys-
tenn Growing

The growth of the Moore Tele--
phone System since it's organization
about SIX years ago. says the Valley
County News, has been phenomenal.
From a necessarily crude system of
a few phones, with the central station
in the Moore home in this city, where
the members of the family combined
their efforts in making the connec-
tions, the system has now grown un-
til it's long distance lines reach as
far west as Havre and east to Poplar
with connections, whereby their pa
irons can communicate as far east as
st. Paul and practically all over,
Montana both west and south, With,
such rapid growth and development
the necessary expense of mainte-
nance in addition to the increase in
equipment and better facilities for
handling the increasing demands of
the business, has required number
less hours and days of strenuous
work, worry, and anxiety and heavy
responsibilities to properly engineer
the business around financial diff
cultles and the many, many neces--
sarily unfortunate and unpleasant
circumstances that naturally arise in
trying to give the public good SER
vice. Naturally, thus far, Manager
Moore has been compelled to should
er the brunt of the work, and has
acted in the capacity of everything
from messenger boy and central"
to travelling auditor and general
manager, and now it is with consid-
cradle satisfaction that he sees his
company emerge from the expert
mental stage to a substantial sue
cessfully established system equal in
equipment and efficiency to any sys-
tenn of the same size in the north
west. AS the new telephone build
ing will be arranged after this week,
the first floor will be fitted up into
offices, comprising the president and
managers offices, the book keepers
office and a reception or public room,.
while the switchboards and operat-
ing room will occupy the second
floor.

In compliance with the requests of
numerous settlers ON the irrigation
projects ca the Government the Sec
retary of the Interior has issued the
following regulation governing the
subdivision of farm units.
1. A homestead entryman subject
to the Reclamation Act may relin-
quish part of his farm unit and
have the payments which have been
made on the relinquished part credit
ed to the charges OH the retained
part, provided that the amendment
in question may be allowed without
jeopardizing the interests of the gov
ernment in the collection of the char
ges against the portion of the tract
rellnquisbsd.
2. The entryman desiring to make
such relinquishment should submit
his application therefor to the pro-
ject engineer, who will transmit the
same with his recommendation
through tie proper channels to the
director who, he finds no objection,
will proceed as in other cases of pro-
posed amendments of farm units.
This ruling is regarded as one
of the most important of re-
cent years relating to the rec
lamation work. 1t is a confirm
alton also of the prediction which
the officials of the Bureau made sew
eral years ago that the greatest sue
cesses OH the reclamation projects
would be those OH the small farms.
The requests for permission to SUBJ
divide their farms comes almost with
out exception from the men who have
taken up land in excess of their abil-
ity and means to cultivate. While
the large land holder has been vast
ing his energy, time, and capital in
an attempt to subdue his farm, and
uow finds the burden too great for
him to meet the charges for building,
operation and extra labor, the small
farmers az a general rule have pros.
pered and are slowly but surely gain
ing competence.
Strong influence was brought to
bear upon the Department in the be-
ginning to fix the farm units at not
less than 100 acres. The most ill.,
Auential advocates of the large farm
were the prominent farmers and bus
mess men in each of these commnni-
ties. In this connection a letter

dent of the Billings Chamber of
