BOARD AFTER
SHORT WEIGHT
BUTTER SELLERS

The majority of the butter sold
in Montana is short in weight, if
samples purchased in open market
of practically every city in Mon
tana for the state board of health
are an average. Letters have been
sent out by DR.. Tuttle, secretary
of the state hoard, to the mer-
chants from whom the butter was
purchased, advising them that the
board has decided ''that any short
weight sales detected on or after
March IS would be promptly fol-
lowed by prosecution.
DR.. Tuttle says lit is true that
merchants can avoid prosecution
for short weight by selling butter
by the package instead of by the
pound, but the subterfuge will not
avail them long.
The board intends to make
public throughout the state the
names of those brands containing
full pound in a package, as we'll
as the names of those brands which
do not contain a pound.'
In DR.. Tuttle's letter to the
merchants the samples purchased
and the net weight thereof are
given.

interest in Libby people and the

clals declare the steel ,nanufactu-
rers are altogether to blame. They
point out that 68-pound rail laid
down II or IS years ago is giving
better service than the oo-pound
rail laid down or 3 years ago.
This state of affairs is due, railroad
men say, to the steadily deteriorat-
ing quality of the rail, not so much
IN the material as in the making.
From the charges and counter
charges, it would appear that the
travelling public will have to look
to some other source for mini
mlzing of this danger.

afternoon to open court the follow

The case OF Alma Mattox VS.. AL.
bert c. Hauser, on appeal from the
justice court of c. R. Hoffman,
was set for trial before a jury to be
drawn from Jury Box No. 3.
And 1t was return day on the
order to show cause why the tenn
porary injunction in the action o1
Robert Reid against the County
Commissioners should not be made
permanent.
This is the famous bridge and
road bond case and attracted much
attention. The county was repre-
sented by Gray & Rowland, Booth
& Maiden and Logan & Child, and
Reid Was represented by Noffsinger
& Walchli.
The argument ou motion of de-
PENDANTS to quash the original tenn
porary restraining order was taken
up first and practically occupied
the entire day. Mr.. Booth used
the entire morning in presenting
the county commissioners side of
the case, and Walchli in reply and
Logan in conclusion occupied the
afternoon in presenting further ar
gument.
The court room was crowded
with interested spectators, who sat
out the long legal arguments in de-
sire to keep track of this vital mat
ter. For it is a matter of vital inl-
portance to know whether or not

BUNCH SCHOOL LAND

The first fruit of plan inaugu-
rated by the forest service several
years ago, and laid before the gov
ernors of various western states,
with view to settling the vexed
question of school lands in national
forests, has just been carried out in
South Dakota. The president has
signed a proclamation which makes
it possible for that state to select
Immediately 60, 143 acres of land in
compact body in one of the forest
reserves in place of scattered tracts.
A similar agree ment has been
entered into with Idaho, and nego-
tiations with Montana and other
states are pending.
The consolidation of areas into
compact bodies will enable both the
states and the forest service to
manage their respective holdings
more advantageously than would
otherwise be possible, aud will en-
able the state to obtain better re.
turns for the benefit CT it's schools.

SECOND PAYMENT
MADE SATURDAY
ON CHERRY CLAIMS

The second payment, $4,000,
was paid on Saturday last to B. F.
Howard and Paul Pratt, the latter
representing A., E. Fosseum, on
their Cherry creek ground, adjoin-
ing the Snowshoe property on the
south. This deal was made last
fall by Mr.. Pratt, the purchasers
being E. H. Wilson Of San Fran
cisco, manager of the Montana
Smelling company (Snowshoe), and
c. B. DeGolia Of Oakland, attorney
of the company. The claims trans
ferred in the deal are the Silver
Tip, Dreadnaught and the Index.
This Cherry creek ground is es-
pecially valuable to the Snowshoe
for the economical working of that
property. There is an abundance
of water, fine mill site and tun-
mel from that side will give an ad :.
ditional depth of 1000 feet on the
Snowshoe lead. The payment is
taken as significant that the 6nan-
cial troubles of the Snowshoe will
be soon adjusted and work resumed
on an extensive scale.
Mr.. Howard, who with his son
Harry was the principal owner of
the Cherry creek claims, also owns
a group on the north end of the
Snowshoe, which also is valuable
proposition. "Dock,' as he is
familiarly known by his friends, is
the oldtimer OF the camp and all
will rejoice that he is coming into
his own.

COMMISSIONERS
CANNOT EyADE
RESPONSIBILITY

County Commissioners, knowing
that a road supervisor is grossly
is grossly derelict in his duty, can.
not divest themselves of all respon-
sibility to the individual members
OF the community by the claim
that they owe service to the gen.
eral public only and that their dut.
les are altogether discretionary,
held the supreme court Monday in
reversing the judgment of the dis
trict court Of Teton county, which
non suited the personal injury suit
of G. w. Smith against Henry
thinner, a road supervisor, and the
board of commissioners.
Smith, ranchman, was injured
by driving into a washout near
Augusta in the tall of 1909. He
brought suit, but the motion to
non-suit was granted, which
amoupted to holding that pri-
vate person could not bring action
for damages, such as Smith did,
against the officials named.
AT the trial." the court says in
an opinion by Chief Justice Brant-
ly, "all of the defendants may be
able to show that the conditions
were such that with the means at
their disposal they were unable to
make the necessary repairs. But
the burden rests upon them to do
so, the presumption being that
they had such means. But even
this would not excuse the omis-
sion to take suitable measures to
give notice of the obstruction or
to provide suitable barriers to pre-
vent the traveller from being in
jured by it if the facts show that
such was the case"
Justice Holloway dissented.
