lnportaas Railroad Ruling

as to whether the Railroad lands were

1t is understood that Mr.. Kelly's
answer was in the Affirmative, and if
the opinion is forced to a decision
by. the courts, will result in some
very pretty verbal pyrogliphics be-
tween the. state and the Railroad At
torneys.
Should, the Attorney generals opin-
ion be upheld by, the Courts, hundreds

the State Treasury where they, right

forced to pay their just taxes or to
sell their criminally gigantic holdings
of land to people who would get or

ing. valuation will hardly be ayailable

"Its The Truth That Hurts. -
July, 18th, 1913.

i. July, 18th, 1913.
City Clerk,
Glendive, Montana
Dear Sir:
On recent date, in company with
the local Health Officer, DR.. Consler,
made an inspection of the City Jail
in Glendive.
On account of the extremely bad
sanitary condition of this Jail, due to
bad lighting and almost complete alb
sence of any method of ventilation,
and to the bad general sanitary condi-
tions, feel duty bound to condemn
this place as being absolutely unfit for
the purpose of housing prisoners. !
know of no crime whose penalty is
torture by bed bugs.
The Counties and theCities through
OUT LD0 SCdIC are lIiSloIAuS IAoS SOAAA7
panies and individuals doing business
must keep their place. of business in a
sanitary condition. 1t seems to me
that that County or that City, which
maintains Jail in a condition opposed
! to the first principles of sanitation,
cannot with good grace insist that the
business men conduct their business
along the lines of the latest advance in
sanitary principles.
The County of Dawson has one Of
the best, up to date jails that have
visited, and in seems to me that unit
the City can complete such Jail TO
itself, that arrangements might be
be made with the County to house it
prisoners.
Yours very truly,
/ DR.. Cogswell,
Executive Officer.

The Street Carnival A Certainty

Glendive merchants who are in ia.
vor of having the Street Carnival
which was originally proposed for the
week of July %, but which received a
jolt from acting Mayor Calvin, will be
pleased to learn that Jno. P. Martin,
representative of the Altman Bros.
American Shows has booked the
carnival for the original date.
It was understood that Wibaux made
them very attractive offer for the
same week and it was thought we
were to lose the attraction, but before
going to press we heard that Glendive
will get it and Wibaux will have to
wait.
In this connection we cannot help
remarking that a number of cities
throughout the east, especially in Wis
consin, are being buncoed good and
plenty by. fake shows and street car
nivals, the one most prominently men,
toned as carrying short change artists,
she'll game workers and the like, is
the Kit Carson outfit. We are not
even suggesting that the Altman
Bros. shows are of this order, in fact,
if all the show is as nice as their Mr..
Martin appears to be, we will be hap
py. We mention this, so that if the
show is what it ought to be, it should
be generously patronized and encour-
aged.

HAIL HITS HOUSES

About 8 20 o'clock Tuesday evening
this ely was the guest of most an-
wpIceme visitor, short, sharp and
decisive hail storm which, while it did
not last more than half an hour,
caused considerable alarm while it
lasted
Ominous clouds began to form to
the south and west early in the even
ing, and as the day had been oppres-
syely hot, the cool icy winds that
came from the southwest foretold of
hail
The storm passed over quickly but
it left in its wake great numbers OF
hail pellets of various sizes, milky
white in color and naturally as "cold

A great many window lights were
shattered, the N. P. railroad being
the greatest sufferer due to the scare
ity of screens. Residences did not
suffer near as much as most windows
We're protected by screens and porches.
A roof or two was torn off and a
few houses were divested of strips OF
shingles Had the rain continued
there would have been considerable
damage to interior furnishings but on
Iy in a few instances was there any
such damage reported.
The first thing Wednesday morning,
Larimer & Hine had a number OF cir
ruars printed offering to take care OF
window repairs as quickly as glass
could be gotten by freight from Min.
neapols. They have ordered two
carloads of window lights and it j:
understood the Northern Pacific has
ordered one car. Lowe Brothers will
also use nearly carload.
The hail came across at Ryan's place
and got Hagan, Mike Brown, Bill

PLAN HAS BEEN INTRODUCED

Washington, Nov. 16,--With the ad-

long delay. a plan to revise the ma
tlonal banking laws to meet the new
currency system has made its ap-
pearance in legislative circles. 1t will

with the understanding that that ques-

Advocates OF the bank law revision
plan are seeking to place their pro-
jects ahead Of the proposed anti
trust legislation In the administration
programme. The antitrust pro-
gramme is being vigorously discussed,
but had not yet taken definite form so
far as the administration is concern
ed. although many individual anti
trust measures are appearing In the
house and senate.
The progressive antitrust pro-
gramme. the main feature Of the third
party's legislative plans for the next
session. Is outlined In bills which Rep
resentatives Murdock of Kansa, Pro-
gressive leader OF the house will in
troduce tomorrow. They embody pro-
posals to create an Interstate trade
commission. to prohibit unfair COM
petition and to suppress monopolies,

ter the meeting Senator Hitchcock
said that probably no formal COM
mittee report would be submitted to
the senate. Administration Demo-
Gratis. he said, would file their views
and he and the Republicans would
do the same.
Senator Hitchcock stated that a
motion would be made in the senate
to discharge the committee from fur
ther consideration Of the bill and the
senate then could take up the meas
ure as it came from the house. He
added that his wing of the commit
tee probably would not complete its
draft of the bill until Thursday.
Tonight the Republicans amended
the reverse section of the bill, in
creasing the gold reserve to be held
against the new currency from 33 I.3
per cent to 40 per cent. The amend
ment also would provide that the new
notes should not be available for use
in reserves
Another amendment adopted would
give the secretary Of the treasury
power to increase the per cent re-
demption fund held against the new
notes in the treasury, from S per
cent up to 10 per cent, if necessity
required.

Administration senators hoped to-

Democrats.
In an effort to hurry the bill along.
the five Republicans on the commit

night and continued work on their
draft OF the bill, making minor
changes and correcting phraseology.
The Republicans hope to conclude
their first draft by Tuesday, and the
bill will be taken up in a meeting of
the full committee called for that day.
Republicans and Democrats will re-
