New Registration

Beginning with July 1st, the voters
Of Montana will start new system
of registration. In substitute for
the old system, the county clerk and
recorder will be the registrar. At
any time except thirty days before
any general, city or school election,
any qualified elector may register
his name in the great register. Once
a voters name is on the book, it is
not necessary for him to register
again unless he fails to exercise his
right as voter at any election. Ell
ectors living within ten miles of the
court house must register with the
county clerk and recorder in person;
electors living beyond the ten mile
limit may register in person before
the county clerk and recorder or go
before a notary public or justice of
the peace who will fill out their reg
istration papers and transmit them
to the register at the court house.
No charge will be made to any elec-
tor for this service, but the county
will pay the notary public or justice
of the peace at the rate of TWENTY-FIVE
cents for each name.
The new law provides severe pen
alties for wrongdoing, both as re-
CARDS the voter and the registration
and election of officers. The offense
is felony and on conviction the
punishment provided is term of
from one to ten years in the peniten-
tiary.
The county clerk will compile from
the great register precinct registers
for use at the polling places at cleo
tions. Each voter is required to
write his signature OH the great reg
lister, and other precautions are tax
Ell to insure accurate Identification
of voters.

Both Were Splendid

w. H. Leonard has the thanks OF
the editress for a large bunch OF
choice young beets, and it was diff.
cult to tell which was the prettier-
the tender. red-tinted young leaves
for green's or the juicy vegetables for
a savory dish. They were from Mr..
Leonard's fine vegetable garden
southwest of town.
Gratitude is also due Siebe Tjaden
of Strater, for number of pounds OF
large, choice early potatoes
Volgan's Acme. Mr.. Tjaden is an
expert in raising "spuds" and July
3rd he and his family were able to
enjoy nice large new potatoes along
with other vegetables from their gar
den. He has five acres of the Vol
gan's Acme and in about a week the
people of Malta will have an oppor-
tunity to see how good they are.

Stevens Wins Out

One Of the most interesting cases
tried in the district court at Glasgow
last week was one in which NJ alta
parties were interested. In reporting
the case the Valley County News
gives the following:
"The civil case of G. II. Stevens VS..
r. NJ Trafton has been occupying
the attention of the court for the
past two days, and went to the jury
yesterday afternoon. This case has
grown out of the sale of a town lot in
Malta about eight or nine years ago,
and was carried to the supreme
court of the state several years ago,
after being dismissed by the former
Judge of this district. but when it
came before the supreme court it was
referred back to this court for re-
consideration. The source of CON-
ten;ion in the case is to the effect,
according to the plaintiff. that he
purchased a lot from the defendant
and holds receipts for the payment
Of the purchase price, and that de-
| fendant refuses to issue him a deed
to the lot. The defendant claims he
has never received the money and
that the party to whom the money
was paid and who signed for the re-
ceipt was agent for defendant, had
no authority to do so, and, therefore,
l. loGn lo,, in, hnc
never received any money in pay
ment for the lot. Yesterday fore
noon little diversity from the mo-
notony of the trial was created by
the defense introducing some of the
prominent citizens of Malta as wit
nesses to testify as to the standing
and general reputation of the plain
tiff in his home town but it seemed
the plaintiff was equal to the occa-
sion. The jury after being out a few
hours returned a verdict for the
plaintiff"
Attorney Il. E. Crutcher appeared
for Mr.. Stevens and Atty. II. M.
Lewis was council for Mr.. Trafton.
Atty. JAS. Wilson of our city attend
ed the hearing of the case and was
associate council for Mr.. Crutcher.
The Malta citizens attending court
and testifying for the defense were
L. G. Edwards, B. W. BrockWay, j.
F. Kilduff, Harry Cosner, j. +.
Murray, and Lyman Barnes.

New Primary Bill Ready

The committee appointed by Gov
ernor Norris some time ago has pre-
pared new primary bill, a copy Of
which has been received at this office.
The bill is similar to the Oregon Pri-
mary Law and from a careful perus-
al OF it, one can see that it has a ten
dency to weaken the power of the po-
lltlcal bosses. The measure pro-
vides for the nomination of United
States Senators at the primary elec-
tion with a provision that the state
senator's and representatives will
abide by the will of the people in
the election of these officials. Pro-
vision is also made for the nomina-
tion of all state and county officials
and one party can not throw their
ballots in the primary to weaken
nominees in another party without
voting for candidatea for all the OFF,
ces of the party.
This new bill has been submitted
to the state senators and representa-
tives and if a majority of them sig
nifty a desire to have the bill become
a law, an extra session of the state
legislature will be called by Govern
or Norris in the near future for the
purpose of taking action in the mat
ter. The measure is perhaps one of
the most important matters Of state
legislation to be brought before the
people of Montana. Those who are
interested in the passage of the bill
should communicate with Senator
Survant or Representative Moore
and urge them to write Governor
Norris to cell an extra session and
thus take steps towards the passage
of the law.
The committee submits the bill
firm in the belief that it will, if en-
acted into law, satisfy the demands
of the people of Montana for an hon
est, effective Primary Election Nom
mating statute and that it may go
toward correcting such evils as may
exist in the present system.

MaItaites Celebrates AT Glasgow

More than one hundred of our citi-
Zens participated in the mammoth
two-day Fourth of July celebration
held in Glasgow Tuesday and
ednesday, and with the Band, the
Orchestras, and the base ball team
out of town, quiet reigned supreme.
In speaking of the celebration gen.
orally, Maltaite who spent Tues
day there says: 81 never saw a
more orderly crowd anywhere.
There was not the least disturbance
during the day. The crowd was
there for a good time, and had it.
There was very scant display of
decorations, but the program was
varied, promptly carried out, and
met the expectations of visitors. The
one thing noticeable above all others
was the hearty good will shown
everybody. The committee in charge
exerted themselves successfully to
make people feel welcome. Another
noticeable thing, and which called
forth friendly comment, was this:
there were no attempts at holdup,
prices for meals, lodging, etc., were
the same as on ordinary occasions.
1t was the biggest event Glasgow ever
witnessed. and calls for the highest

What A Mere Boy Did

On particular portion of the bench
southeast of town where for years and
years just plain sage brush thrived
and cactus b]oomed, and because of
the unpromising appearance of the
land the old timer shrugged his
shoulders and laughed at the idea of
it ever becoming an agricultural re-
gion or ever producing anything else
but sage brush and little grass, a
boy, Raymond Schumacher, the
thirteen year old son of E. Schumacher
has this season demonstrated that
the soil is wonderfully productive
and by his efforts a fourteen acre
field of flax, now 26 inches tall, in it's
luxuriant beauty, should inspire the
fossiled pessimist with the belief
that we have something "worth
while" in Montana, and it should be
the means of waking other portions
OF the state from it's long sleep and
tend to the cultivation of larger
areas which have heretofore been
noted only for the production of hay,
horses and cattle.
Mr.. Schumacher, Sr., who is en-
ployed at the Edwards Il Mcclellan
store, was showing some samples of
this flax recently and says that Ray
mond has broken up, unaided, thirty
acres Of virgin sod this spring, be-
sides discing, narrowing and sowing
it to crops of different kinds. Fur
ther, this boy is city bred and is
spending his first season on a farm.
One may travel with the swift auto
for hours along roads between fenced
fields and see thousands of
acres of tlourishing fields of wheat,
oats, barley, flax and corn, but if the
old timer had gone ahead with as
much ambition as this boy, and had,
as Professor Shaw puts it, FUSED cor
rect Methods" Montana would to-
day be contributing more to the
bread basket of the world, and the
people would not be so troubled
about the irrigation question.
