THE COUNTY DIVISION
CAUSING GREAT INTEREST
Musselshell will Meet With Consid.
cradle Opposition from Meagher
County in General

The question of county division
has became a serious one to the
people of Meagher county and es-
pecially to the people of the east
ern end as they do not want to be-
come a part of the new Mussel.
shell county. 1t seems that the
promoters of the proposed Mussel-
shell county desire to take some of
the best part of Meagher county
and in exchange give some that is
practically worthless, and do we,
the people of Meagher county, ex-
pect to let these promoters take
several thousand dollars out of our
county and give us the widows
mite in return?
For instance, there is nine miles
OF railroad on the G. NJ. & p. S. and
the same on the Billing & North
ern, this is valuable property and
the income from the taxes on this
property each year is of vital i'm
portance to the county, also, the
the five townships which would be
included in the deal, if they have
the bill passed. 1t is now up to
Meagher county legislatures to
fight this to the bitter end. 1t is
a positive fact that if Fergus conu-
ty can make them back down
Meagher county ought to be able
to make them back over between
ranges 81 and %.
It's time that every one of us
got in the game and pushed things
to the front for by our united ef-
forts we can win our cause, which
is a just and fair one. Why should
we lose this valuable taxable prop
erty when by good hustling we can
save it from being legislated away?
You who have not been interested
N the cause put forth your efforts
low, attend the different meetings
lear the reasons and convince
that it is time to act.
Don't think that you can do moth
ng, for your personal influence
will be a great help to those who
llready pushing things to the front
t is act now or lose out. The Mus
helshell promoters have their
'Oundry between 1S and 19 now
nd it is the desire of a majority
f the county residents to have it
'laced between 20 and 81 and we
re sure there is not one who will
ot use their influence in the cause
0 save the county this valuable

eu Oy OOCn Une House ana Sen at
today. In the Senate the resolu
tion was introduced by Fred White
side, Senator from Flathead, anG
in the house by I. S. McQuitty O
Meagher County.
Resolution
WHEREAS, Large areas of lane
are withheld from settlement il
Montana under the Gary Land Act
and whereas the work upon the
projects is at a standstill.
NOW Therefore be it Resolved
that committee, two members o1
the house be appointed to act with
like committee of two members
of the Senate, to investigate the
said matter and report to the
house, and said committee is auth.
orized to send for such persons,
papers and things, and to incur
such expense as may be necessary
in the investigation of said project.
The Senate appointed Whiteside
of Kalispell and Larsen of Tetou,
and the house appointed McQuitty
of Meagher and Bernard of Lincoln
to act on this Committee.
Under the provisions of Carey
Land Act, large areas of land
throughout Montana have been
set aside, the ultimate object being
the reclaiming and irrigating of
these various tracts. The fact
that dry land farming in Montana
has passed the experimental stage,
and the further reason that there is
a prevalent suspicion throughout
the State that many of the Carey
projects are merely land grabbing
schemes, has aroused general de-
mand for an investigation.
While there is no particular
criticism of the Gary Land Board,
other than negligence in some cases
it is but due the people of Montana
and the vast number of settlers
pouring into the state, that these
immense unsettled tracts should
be opened for settlement. The
outcome of the investigation will
mean several hundred thousand
acres of the most fertile and valu-
able lands of the state being turn
ed back to the government and
opened for filing.
The people of Harlowton and
the east end of Meagher Go. are
particularly interested in the find
ings of this investigation. as some
forty sections known as THE Mus
selshell Project" and extending
from Martinsdale to Pontiac on the
North and East side of the Mussel-
shell and entirely surrounding
Harlowton on two sides, have been
withdrawn from entry for the past |
two years without any apparent |
effort on the part of the projectors |
to put under irrigation any of the |
above mentioned tract. The open
ing of this tract would mean more |
than one hundred home builders in
the vicinity of Harlowton and a |
substantial increase in the assessed |
valuation of Meagher County.
Mr.. McQuitty spent some time
to>acquaint himself with the con-
dition of the Musselshell Project |
before his election to the Legislat-
ure. A quick and decisive action
of the Legislature, showed Mr. Nc
Guilty. to be thoroughly alive to
the progress and welfare of his own
County, and though this tract
should not be opened for entry, it
goes without saying that the pro-
jectors will at once push the work
through and throw this tract open
after the drastic measures adopted
by the legislature.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wagner were call

RHEUMATISM.

Chronic rheumatism often attacks
the larger joints. Internal treatment
of any kind would be worse than use
less, but by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm freely and massaging the
affected parts three times a day, a
cure may be effected. 1t will afford
some relief at once and by contin-
uing the treatment, will eventually
effect a complete cure. Some cases,
however, require considerable pa.
thence. Be careful to keep the bow
els regular. For sale by all dealers.

ENTRIES
FOR BIG CONTEST

Yesterday was a busy one in the
preliminary work of The Stars big
contest. All of the candidates thus
far enrolled seem to be deeply inter
ested in the progress of events, and
many Of them have expressed an
eagerness for the fray" which is
quite assuring.
This big contest is different from
many others in that there are a large
number of prizes and every one Of
them is well worth the time and trou-
bic. If a contestant misses one, there
are so many left that he or she will
still stand a good show of coming out
perfectly satisfied at the end.
Had you really thought, good and
hard, of the second prize in the list?
1t is a good, big lot in a choice resi-
/ dence locality upon which the win
ner may well be pleased to build a
home. And who does not want a
home? OF course there are those who
have good homes already, and prob
ably would not keenly appreciate an
other, Such fortunate ones should
bear in mind, however, that The Stars
prize lot may be sold without diff

ond prize is really almost as good
as the first, and to a person seeking
a domestic might easily be prefera-

ness the journey is delightful. When
it is moonlight and the spray dashing
from the rocks is a picture worth go

doubt, the most delightful spot in the
