From July, 1912, to July, 1918, the
government land in the state was re.
duced fourth, or 7,511,142 acres.
This was a much greater reduction
than during a corresponding period
from July, 1911, to July, 1912, when
the total amount of government land
was diminished by settlement 1885,
651 acres. or 1854, ,491 acres less than

Would Enlarge Homestead

According to advices from Washing
ton a bill amending the enlarged
homestead act of Feb. 10, 1909, has
been introduced by Senator Myers,
which goes to the public lands COM
mittee Of which he is chairman. It
provides:
That any person who has made or
shall make homestead entry Of lands
of the character herein described and
who has not submitted final proof
thereon, or who having submitted
final proof still owns and occupies the
land thus entered, shall have the
right to enter public lands, subject to
this act, contiguous to his first entry,
which shall not, together with the
original entry, exceed 800 acres. Pro
vided, that the land originally entered
and that covered by the additional
entry shall have first been designated
as subject to this act.

Warning to Grain Dealers

According to the Helena 1ndepend-
ent, several violations of the law re-
quiring that elevator operators, grain
dealers and track buyers furnish a
bond and take out license before
carrying on their business in Mon
tana, have prompted J. E. Tempelton.
state grain inspector to send out a
letter of warning to the delinquents.
The state law makes it q misde.
meanor for any one to engage in the
grain business in Montana without
first furnishing bond, approved by
the state grain inspector, and filed
with the secretary of state.
During the year, 151 licenses have
been issued, but there are many grain
buyers who have not yet complied
with the law, and it is to call the at
tention of the offenders to the fact
that they are subject to prosecution
on misdemeanor charge, that Mr..
Templeton is sending them notices.

Sentenced for Pension Frauds


Advices from Butte state that John
Truax, of Big Sandy, pleaded guilty
in the federal court to a charge of
impersonating his dead father and
drawing pension of $12 month in
his name. The fraud is said to have
been practiced for a period of sew.
enteen years before it was detected.
Judge Bourquin sentenced the defend.
ant to term of fifteen months in the
federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan.
sas.
The defendant, who is close to 70
years of age, took the sentence calm
ly. He said he guessed the punish
ment was all right, and incidentally
seemed to think that the government
would just keep on supporting him as
it has been doing with but slight
variation in the arrangement.
Truax is suffering from rheumatism
and is in bad shape physically. He
said that under the sentence he would
probably get a good place to sleep,
have three good meals a day and re-
ceive medical attention that his con-
dition requires, and expressed the be-
lief that he would have a better
home than he has had outside of pris.
on while he was drawing his So per
month from the government.
In addition to the prison sentence
Judge Bourquin fined him 5000 and
costs. Truax said that he was broke
and had no money to pay the fine,
but would probably have to work it
out.

Death Of Charles II. BOYLE

The old-time friends of Charles H.
Boyle have received no information
regarding his death in Washington,
D. c., other than a brief announce
ment in a private letter from his son
to a boy friend in this city. The let
ter stated that Mr.. Boyle died about
midnight November 16, after two
days sickness.
Mr.. Boyle had a large circle of
friends in this part of Montana, by
whom the unexpected news of his
death will be received with regret. He
had been resident of this locality
over thirty years, and during his
terms as public official formed ac-
quaintance with district court visitors
from all parts of the country.
Mr.. Boyle was native of Alabama,
and was about 67 years old. He came
to Montana in 1879 and engaged in
ranching on Highwood, where he con-
Quoted a dairy business. Several
years later he removed to the Bear
Paw country where he became inter
ested in the stock industry. Mr.. Boyle
was elected clerk of the district court
in 1898, and occupied that office four
successive terms, and was also Unit.
ed States commissioner for a mum.

the local lodge of Odd Fellows during
his residence here, and was active in
the affairs of that organization.

The order was issued because the
sentiment of the settlers on the Teton
slope was adverse to government irri-
CATION, but preferred to have the land
thrown open to enlarged homestead
entry. Secretary Lane therefore elm
mated this tract from the Sun river
project.
Senator Myers opposed the order
and laid petitions from the Great
Falls Chamber Of Commerce and 9TH
er prominent organizations before the
secretary to have the Teton slope in
corporated in the project. Mr.. Lane
intimated that should the sentiment
of the settlers change he would au.

sweeping an order was given; others
that they could not honorably violate
their contracts with their employees;
others that the executive committee
could go jump in the lake.
From the moment it became ap-
parent that the lockout order was
not going to be generally obeyed,
gloom descended on the members Of
the inner circle.
They called in E. NJ Craig, who
is called the secretary of the eXecu-
tive council of the Building and Con-
struction Employers Association, but
who really is a walking delegate
hired by the inner circle to see that
men are locked out when ordered
locked out by them, and told him to
get busy. -.
Walking Delegate Craig got busy.
The immediate result of this was that
the suburban contractors, whe, now
have thousands of jobs on hand, got
together and decided not to lock, out
one single man.
The gloom around the inner circle
deepened, and Walking Delegate
Craig became a mere smudge, to
look at whom was to weep out Of
sheer sympathy. .
Neither was JOY brought to the
inner circle when the County Board,
alarmed by the stopping of work on
the badly needed new County Hospi-
tai through the lockout order, called
upon them to end the lockout on that
one building at least for the sake of
Chicago's suffering poor.
About the same time Commits
sioner Of Public Works McGann lifted
his voice unto heaven in a noisy de-
mand to know why work had been
stopped on four new city bridges
the Indiana avenue, the Thirty-ffth
street, the Chicago avenue and the
Ninety-second street.
There was no answer at first to

Then messengers from the inner
circle of the bosses association came
to McGann from afar, and patted him
ION the back, and offered to buy him
drinks and cigars, and said it was all
right.
But McGann, being single-mind-
ed person, let his mind continue to
run on a one-track road and loudly
and profanely demanded once more
to know why work had been stopped
on four city bridges.
