NOXiOuS Weeds
Are Multiplying

The manner 10 which noxious
weeds of all descriptions bave in
creased and multiplied in this Sec
tion in the past two years, more
notably this season, is matter that
is causing much uneasiness among
the farmers. When farming first
began here it was refreshing to note
that there was total absence of
weeds in the grain crops and on
lands not sown to crop, and garden
ing was an easy matter. Today
nearly all the varieties of noxious
weeds seen in older places are seen
here. Whether the seed came in
with uncleaned grain shipments or
whether like "Topsy' it just grow
ed'' is hard to determine. An ag-
gressive battle on noxious weeds
should begin this summer; it will be
ten times easier to eradicate them
this year than rext. A weedy
farm is unsightly, it's productive
power is decreased and it's market
value greatly lessened. The Val
erian of last week tells of the dis
covery on a ranch near that town
of the insidious fanweed, which is a
menace to small grain and cannot
be eradicated save by pulling.

Kelly on the
Registration Law

The law passed by the last legis-
lature permitting electors to secure
certificates of registration from the
county clerk, and on the presenta-
tlon OF these to vote in any precinct
In the county, was declared uncon-
stltutional by Attorney General d.
NJ. Kelly in an opinion the other
day to Gerald Young, county at.
torney of Sanders. The law was
passed to make it easier for voters
IN the country to go to the polls.
This is the second act of the Thir-
teenth assembly to be kicked out.
In the course of a seven page
opinion, the attorney general holds:
think that our constitution con-
templates, and the spirit of our in
stltutlon impels me to the belief
that some residence is contemplated
as condition precedent to the right
OF person to vote in the precinct
where he presents himself for the
purpose of exercising the elective
franchise. Were it not SO, it ap-
pears to me a chaotic condition
would prevail, which in my opinion,
would be entirely foreign to the
spirit of cur laws, for it would en-
able man residing in the state one
year and in the county thirty days
to vote for township officers and
precinct committeeman of political
parties in any precinct where such
elector might desire to cast his
vote, and in such school districts,
where such voter had no interest,
and perhaps also in municipal
election precincts or wards where
the voter did not reside, and per-
haps also would give him the right
to vote upon financial questions,
which would burden township or
precinct with taxation, the burden
of which would not be borne in just
proportion by the person thus cast
ing his vote. Furthermore, the is
suance of this certificate might be
productive of great harm and in
justice for by its use, the colonial
tion of voters would be rendered
most easy"

THE PLANS
OF THE 500
Will Tap Sweet Grass Sec
ton Says the Sweet
Grass Advocate

Sweet Grass Advocate: Although
the 500 has a party of engineers In
the field east of Conrad finishing up
an uncompleted portion of the Plaza
extension survey which was put
through the state last Fall, it is the
belief of the railroad men that moth
ing will be done by the company
towards the building of that pro-
posed line this year.
However, it is known that the
500 has decided to push the AM
brose extension further west thru
the state and that its final locations
have been made for the extension
of about so miles in length running
westward from that portion of the
line under construction in Sheridan
county in the extreme northeastern
part of the state.
Contractors have for some time
been engaged upon the grading of
the line into the state from North
Dakota and it is known that bids
have been invited for another piece
of the line running westward a thort
distance south of the international
boundary line toward the town of
Barre in the northern part of Valley.
county.
1t is understood that it is the in
tention of the 500 to build the line
on westward, paralelling the inter-
national boundry to a junction with
the Canadian Pacific at Sweet Grass.
II is further announced that Pres.
Pennington of the 500 is contem-
plating trip over the proposed
route to Sweet Grass, but it is not
known If it be his intention to take
advantage of his visit to the state to
go over the route of the survey for
the Plaza extension through Daw-
son, Fergus, Choteau and T O n
counties.

N. w. CROP
NOT BUMPER
Montana Prospects Better
But Acreage is
Smaller

Montana will have a larger wheat
crop than last year, but the avrage
number of bushels per acre will be
lower than last year, according 10
figures recently compiled by the
Montana Record. The acreage of
flax has increased only slightly over
last year, due to the unsatisfactory
prices for last years crop.
Conditions in the state generally
are good, says the report, based on
the statements of clever men in diff.
ferent parts of the state. Along
the Northern Pacific the outlook
could not be improved upon. The
Flathead crop will not be a bumper
one. A spell of hot, dry weather in
that valley cut down the chances
for good crop. Along the main
line of the Great Northern between
Shelby and Havre the crop is given
as fair and in the eastern portion of
the state the outlook is good but
grain is very weedy.
The Sunday Minneapolis Journal
gives a resume of crop conditions
throughout North Dakota. A heavy
rain recently fell in all parts of
the state, but conservative reports
are to the effect that it has come too
late to repair the damage done by
drought and heat. The crop is off
10 to 40 per cent, say reports.
The Northwestern crop will not
be such that it can rightly be called
bumper, with the very best condi-
tions prevailing from now on. Not
much has been said about the Cam
adian crop to date. 1t seems quite
safe to predict that good prices win
prevail for the crop to be harvested.

WORK WILL
SOON START
Local Switch Yards to be
Extended. Elevator
to be Moved

Everything from the high
grain elevator of McCabe
Bros. to the lowly oil tanks
and coal sheds in its shadows
will be on the move pretty
soon and will be planted on
new sites, dictated by the
Great Northern.
There is to be general re-
arrangement and expansion
of the switch yards, begin
ming at an early date. This
much is certain. Steam shov-
els, graders, and large crew
of men, will soon be on the
job. The outfit is now at
Havre, where work of the
same nature is being done.
"A survey of the proposed ex-
tension was recently made,
but ]. B. Peterson, who was
in Havre this week, to in
terview the division superin-
tendent regarding an eleva-
tor site, states that the en-
gineer will be sent here to
make another survey, as new
plans have been evolved.
A change will be made in
the "Y," the yards will be
heightened and broadened,
and the main line entering
the city will be changed, it
is said. The work will re-
quire about a months time.
Mr.. Peterson, who will
build a 10000 bushei elevator
here, was told by the divis-
ion superintendent that site
would be designated for h i s
house in about thirty days.
AS the survey extends far
beyond the east wagon road
crossing, the most important
entrance to the city from the
north, the question of a safe
and easy crossing is being dis
cussed by farmers and towns
people. If more than one
track is extended beyond this
crossing it will become very
dangerous one. 1t is the be-
lief of some that a viaduct
will be extended across the
tracks near the present site
of the elevator and that
junction of the north and
east roadways will be effect
ed at that point. The ques-
tion of a better entrance to
town from the north coun-
try is one that must soon be
solved, as the long detourS
made necessary by the switch
yards are anything but salts
factory.

RuStling ON a

case of wholesale horse stealing in
the northern part of the state, pre-
sumably in the vicinity of Cut Bank
has been uncovered by the Alberta
authorities, as told in the LethDridge
Herald of July 5th, as follows:
What will undoubtedly develop
into a wholesale horse stealing and
smuggling case was brought to a
head early this morning, when a
bunch of eleven head of horses was
seized and man named Jas. CHS
holm arrested by the mounted po-
lice. An accomplice, Jim Carol,
alias Jim Coyne, is being searched
for. The entire south country from
Lethbridge to Cardston and Coutts,
is surrounded by special constables
and mounted police, and his cap
ture is looked for at any time. The
police have been suspicious of some
crooked work for some time and
Sergeant Ashe has been camped
along the border, watching for de-
velopments. The theory is that this
band was driven across the line
smuggled in without duty, and bro't
north for sale. Trace of the horses
was lost in Lethbridge, and it is be-
lleved they were cached in Leth-
bridge. 1t is this theory that leads
the police to believe that there may
be some local man implicated. CHS
holm is lodged in the guardroom,
and is rather mixed in his explana-
tions. He tells two very different
stories and the police believe he is
the hireling of men higher up and
that the trial will unearth an orga-
nization of horse thieves which has
been working for some time on
wholesale basis.
Carroll got away and was last
seen at Magrath. He went south on
the Magrath trail Yesterday; from a
point near Lethbridge, but was seen
in Magrath early this morning. The
network of lookouts on his trail will
make it almost impossible for him
to escape.
Very little is known of the ac-
cused, but Carroll is known to have
worked for Jack Galbreath on his
ranch just over the border. He is
described as being about % years
of age, feet II inches in height,
has sort of film over one eye, has
cowboy hat, buckskin shirt cordu-
roy trousers and riding boots.
The horses are all branded Il. G.
on the left shoulder and cheek, and
the owner has not yet been located,
but it is thought that they were
stolen from near Cut Bank, Mon
tana, and that the original theft con-
sisted of probably fifty head.
The string is a good one. They
are young and we'll built and would
make good saddle stock. they are
severely ganted up, however, and
show signs of hard driving. The
horse that Carroll is riding is bay,
and is also supposed to be stolen.
