 Portland, Sept 26.-Distrct Forester Cecil has approved the contract with the George James Company of Douglas, Alaska, for the cutting of 100000 feet of timber in the Tongrass national forest on Farragut island, Alaska The George James Company IS backed in this enterprise by the Tread we'll Mining Company, which will ultimately consume most of the lumber that will come from the island. For many years box con- panies have tried to secure the timber on Farragut island but have aways been turned down. The sale of this timber to the James company is causing great sur prise in view of the fact that it was long held that such large parcel of timber should be sold by competitive bids. The timber IS said to be the most serviceable variety on any of the islands in Southeast ern Alaska, and contains some magnificent samples of Alaska cedar, the best grade of timber growing in the country.

help to the women of Glendive in
their effort to get rid Of all weeds
and suggested that Sept. l3 be the
best day.
Before anything definite is done
about the new City Hall. the council
decided to wait until the complete
new railroad assessments are in so
they can determine just what the 8
per cent will amount to. It IS ex-
pected that the revised assessment
of the railroad property in the city
will add quite little to the total
taxable property which will result
in a greater amount being available
for the City Hall and Jail.
At the next meeting. Sept. 18th.
the council will no doubt order the
special election. which if successful,
will result in an early bond issue be-
ing sold to cover the erection of the

The Sale OF State Lands

J For the past few weeks the Moni
tor has been printing a list of tn,
state lands that are to be placed O,
public sale at the Court House. i,
Glendive, Thursday, September 11th
at 10 O'Clock a. m.
1t will be interesting to residents
OF Dawson county to know that out Of
a total of Is counties, in which the
sale of state lands will be held this
year, Dawson County has the largest
! acreage but one, Choteau, in which
so, 200 acres will be sold.
Dawson has IS, 900 to sell, Lewis &
Clark is next with 1000 and Hill
County has 10000, the other II having
from l 300 in Sanders, all the way to
3, 04O in Missoula.
The first sale of the year took place
in Helena on August IL, when the
IL, 600 acres of Lewis & Clark land
was offered for sale, and the last will
take place at Great Falls on October
18th, when 5000 acres of Cascade
County land will be offered for sale.
AS there are so few desirable home
stead sites left in the state, and es-
pecially in Dawson County, and as
the influx of settlers from the burnt
up states to the east and south of us,
will probably be the greatest in Mon
tana' $ history, during the coming fall
and spring, this opportunity of being
able to buy state land direct from the
state and at such a low valuation,
should be taken advantage of by every
one who has little money to invest
in 'sure thing' such as Dawson
County land undoubtedly is.
Everyone is urged to boost for the
installation of water meters in the
city. AS it is now, the family that
is careful and saving with the water
has to pay for the extravagant use
of the precious fluid by the wasteful
ones. The only man who could be ex-
pected to fight against the meter sys
tenn is the man who persists in leav-
ing his sprinkler going all night long

Wild Fowl Season
Opened Labor Day
Local Nimrods Spent Part of Sabboth
In Making Preparations---Town
Deserted AS A Result

On Monday. Sept. 1st, Labor day
the open season for the shooting Of
wild duck and geese in the state OF
Montana, commenced anu will con
tinue until Jan. lst. 1914.
Local nimrods were busy Sunday
but behind closed doors, getting
their shooting irons in shape. Mon
day the town seemed deserted.
Local harware stores report an
exceptionally good business in shells.
but it is noted nevertheless that
many sportsmen continue to send
out of town for their ammunition
instead of buying it at home.
1t must be. remembered that the
new federal law. prohibits the shoot
ing of wild fowl in season, before
sunrise and after sundown. In the
past, hunters were still banging
away at the birds until it was just
barely possible to see them and many
started to rout them out long before
daybreak. Under the new law they
are liable to arrest for so doing and
any county officer is empowed to en-
force the restriction.
Deputy Game Warden G.. F.
Burke informed the Glasgow Cour-
ier the other day, however, that in
his opinion, the above law does not
become effective until approved by
the president, which will not be done
until some time after Oct. 1st.

HUSBAND HAS RIGHT
TO PICK HOME FOR
WIFE, RULES JUDGE

Superior Judge Pendleton To-Day ruled
that a husband had the right to select
the place of residence for his wife, and
if she went back to her mother be-
cause she was dissatisfied with his Sc
lection she was guilty of desertion, un-
der the strictest construction of the
Georgia divorce law.
The jurist made this ruling in be-
half of James B. Hoppe, plaintiff, who
wanted a decree against Mrs. Ruth
Hoppe because she preferred New York
to Atlanta.
Mrs. Hopes attorneys asked that she
be restored her maiden name asserting
that she had no objection to Hopes
bin in case she was allowed to remarry
again.
The judge then informed the jury
that if divorce defendant came into
court and agreed with the allegations
of the plaintiff it might be construed
as evidence of COLLISION. and that this
point should be taken into considera- To-
ton. However. the jury thought that
Hoppe had good grounds in refusing
to give up his Atlanta residence simply
because of his wife's fondness for the
big city.
