Bakers Hopes
Are Shattered

On Thursday morning the com.
mittee appointed by the CONNER
/ cial Club. consisting of AL. Davis,
Judge L. j. Bushell and D. E.
Mccain, to go up to Miles City
and present the petition against
Fallon couty, to the Custer County
Commissioners, returned with
honors galore.
The total registered votes gotten
for the new county in the Wibaux
territory was 454, and the Com.
mercial Club Of Wibaux had secur.
ed 346 signers against the creation
of the new county in the Carlyle
and Dennis territory. AS it only
takes fifty per cent of signers
against, to throw out the petition
for, the Wibaux committee had
something over 100 to the good.
The assessed valuation Of the
territory who signed against the
forming Of the new county was
81, O23, 299, and as the proposition
stood the Baker delegation was
short just about this amount from
the 81, 100000 required by the
laws of the state.
When the board met on Tues.
day forenoon additional petitions
were filed and they were COMPEL.
ed to adjourn in order to have the
county clerk check over the names
and verify the signers, but on
Wednesday morning they met in
session again and with the above
figures staring them in the face
they just did what was required of
them and threw he proposition
down.
This is terrible blow to the
Baker country, great victory for
Wibaux, but the Baker people put
up a good fight and should be
good losers.

Montana First
In Livestock

The supremacy of the state of
Montana in the live stock indus
try of the eight states composing
the Rocky Mountain division is
evidenced by the figures just issu-
ed from the census bureau cover
ing the statistics gathered by the
thirteenth census Of the ten year
period between 1900 and 1910.
These figures give Montana first
place in the total number of all
livestock, first place in the num-
Der of horses and first in the value
OF the domestic animals in this
group of states composed of Mon
tana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado,
