Bonding Company Brings Suit

Helena, Sept. 19.-As a result of the
state Administrations determination
to continue to refuse to approve the
bonds Of the United States Fidelity &
Guaranty company of Baltimore, as
bondsmen for state officials, attorneys
for the bonding concern today filed a
brief with Attorney General Kelly an
nouncing their intention to institute
mandamus proceedings against the
governor unless the bonds are APPROX
ed.
The refusal grew out of litigation
in connection with the suit to recov-
er on the bonds of former Treasurer
Corbley, of Gallatin county, who de-
faulted in the sum of $24,497. There
was a contention between the bond
ing company and the state as to the
extent of the liability of the former,
it being the contention of the company
it was not liable to the full amount
of the ~defalcation, claiming that some
of the shortages occurred before they
became sureties.

Will Not Appoint Appraisers

Helena, Sept. 19.-As the result of
action taken at a meeting of the state
tax commission there will be no III
ty boards of appraisers, appointed un-
der the secretary of the commission,
authorized by the act to be appointed
at a salary of $1,000 per year, be
named for the present at least and
quite probably not until late in 1914.
The action of the board means a
saving to Montana of approximately
5000, 900 per year in salaries. The law
which was enacted by the recent legis-
lature, directs the appointment Of ap-
p~raisers in each county every two
years. The board was to have been
composed of three members at a sa-
airy of IS per day during the time
which they are engaged in actual
work. AS the work could not be &C.
complished in less than two years, it
means a saving of 100000.

ton before Sept. ~, 1906, when the
new naturalization law went into ef-

all declarations void after seven
years. The law did not go into eff.
feet until Sept. ~ of that year. Act,
ing on a decision of the federal court
in the eastern district of Arkansas

Urges Early Seed Selection

A central states seed improvement
propaganda has formulated the fol-
lowing rules for seed corn selection:
Select four times as much as you
need.
2-Select from the standing grain
before Oct. 1.
3-Store in a dry, well-ventilated
room.
4-Test the termination of five kerr
nels of each ear.
5-Grade the seeds to ven size.
6-Plant n side of the field from
the best ears and from this part of
the field select next years seed.
This principle of seed selection may
be applied to other crops than cor
The plan of selecting the seed from
plants at the time of harvest Or be-
fore is as much better than bin or
crib selection as these are better than
no selection at all. The grading Of
seeds insures even distribution and
stronger termination. Setting apart
a portion of the field where carefully
selected seed was used for next years
supply is in line with agricultural
progress. Hill selection of seed po-
tatoes, is far better than bin selection
particularly after the cook has picked
the supply over all winter. Potatoes
| won't run out If seed is properly Sc
lected. Home grown seed is prefer
able to imported seed except in very
rare cases.-F. S. Cooley.
President Opens State Fair.
Helena, Sept. 22.-The eleventh
| Montana state fair al opened at
1880 this afternoon by President Will
son, frim the White house. The tele-
graph company had arranged a di.
rect wire from the White house to
the fair grounds and the president
sent the following message to the
secretary.
my warmest greetings to the man
ayers of the state fair. My message
to those assembled is very simple
one. We are n people, all love the
same justice, all seek the same lib
erty and should all stand together for
the same common purpose.

1t rained intermittently and now
and then spat snow, but in spite OF
the adverse weather conditions a
good sized crowd turned out and re.
remained until the last race was run,
The grandstand was deserted for the
warmer betting ring and exhibition
halls. The quality and extent of the
exhibits as compared with those OF
last year caused much surprise. Elk
cellent as have been the county col
lective displays of previous years,
| they are not a marker to those here
now, and the same holds true Of the
livestock.

Railroad Contends Low Rate on Ticket Gives Right of Limitation
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATcHl

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-An at tempt to secure decision fEcm the supreme court of the United States to the effect that the Hepburn rate law allows the railroads to limit the liability for the loss of baggage in re ;, turn for low passenger rate was in auguarted tod ay when the attorneys for the oregon Short Line appealed to court fromf a decision handed down by the ptah supreme court,
 In the case fn question. Mrs. Char lotte Homer of Salt Lake City sued for the loss of $7O0 worth of wear ing apparel carried-as~ baggage from Sat Like City 10 Los Angeles. The Utah courts would not permit the railroads to offer evidence of an agreement on the ticket that in re- turn for the rate at which the ticket was sold the liability in case of loss of baggage would be limited to $1OO.
 The court recently declared that such limitations could be placed on freight and express shipments.
