STATE HOUSE.
Portland Milk Dealers Are
Hailed into Court.
Stale Ispecior Intends b Have
Clean Milk Supply.
Forest Fires In Northern Part Of
State Are Under Control.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting Of Governor and
Council, Friday, Aug. 22, 1918, 10 A. N.

State Dairy Inspector r. S. Smith
has returned from Portland, where he
has been investigating the milk supply
of that city, the result of which in
vestigation, two Portland milk dealers
were hailed into court, on his con-
plant charged with the selling of milk
below standard and milk that had been
watered.
For some time Mr.. Smith has had
his eye on the milk dealers of this
city, and his attempts to have the
consumers served with good healthy
milk have at last been successful.
The Portland Dairy Co. represented
by its treasurer, Daniel Philips, and A.
N. McCracken, a milk dealer, were the
defendants. The dairy company's milk
p, was found to be below standard and
the McCracken dealers milk was wa
tered The prosecution was under Sec
| ton of Chapter 129 of the Revised
Statutes and each were fined $40 and
costs. The Portland Company APP
pealed and McCracken was put on
probation for a year.
1t is understood that the Maine
Dairy Co. Did not dispute the fact
that the milk was below standard but
it is their intention to have the law
!. court give them an Interpretation of
the statute.
This situation is brought about by the
fact that the milk dealers of Portland
think they are being discriminat ted
against. and that they are held re-
sponsibIe for the quality of the milk
they distribute, instead of the milk
dealers from whom they purchase the
milk.
These farmers, the retailers claim.
are the ones who are to blame, and
they, instead of the dealers, should be
held responsible, when the milk they
send is not in good condition or of a
good standard quality.
Under the present statute, Section 3
lChapter 129, is provided that whoever
himself or his agent, sells, exchanges
or delivers, or has in his csutody or
possession with intent to sell, ex-
change or deliver. or expose or offers
for sale or exchange, milk which is not
lof good standard quality, adulterated
milk. or milk to which water or any
foreign substance has been added shall
for the first offence be punished by a
lime not exceeding $50 and for the sec
!ond offense a fine not less than $50 or
more than 500 and by Imprisonment
for not less than 80 nor more than 50
days.
Milk Inspector Smith has attempted
to get the real beginning of the adul-
terated milk question by attempting to
lcatch the milk at the shipping poins
bu ewing to the fact that the cans are
not sealed they cannot place the re-
!sponsibility

Forest Dept. To
Guard Against Fires.

The State Forestry department is
making every attempt possible and
using every precaution for the protec-
ton of our forests from fire, and
la circular telegram has been issued to
the chief wardens urging upon them
the necessity of the extra precaution
needful during the hot, dry weather
we are now having.
AT no time, this season, have the
forests been so dry and SO ready for
the acceptance of the least spark, to
be tanned into blaze that would
probably mean thousands of dollars
worth of loss in the vast wooded ter
ritory of Maine.
One encouraging fact is that the
largest fires are in the organized
towns, and that the fires which have
started in the wild lands, are small or
have been discovered in time to be put
under control. before obtaining any
great Roadway.
| The wardens are notified to keep in
touch with the main Office at all times.
and are told that if any help is needed
or more patrols are thought necessary
| to notify the forestry department at
once.
The fires reported to the office,
Thursday, from different sections of
the State are as follows: There are
quite a number of fires on the Cana
dian side of the boundary near st.
Camille, Bell County. p. Q. Several
fires have been discovered in the vieini-
ty of Millinocket and at Bee Pond in
Piscataquis county. Fires have been
reported on the northeast side of Spen-
Ger mountain near Moosehead lake.
The mills of the Ray Lumber Co. in
Piscataquis county have been threat
ened and small fire is raging in that
section
The present situation in the forests
is very encouraging, but rain is great
ly needed and the strictest watch viii
be kept until rain does fall.

to the officers and taken to the jail
here.
Tonight mob stormed the JAIL

After the election of the speaker and
the organization of the house, the
democrats will bring in their proposed
rules for congress. The party fight on
these rules probably will go over until
Tuesday. Both republican and pro-
gressive minorities will present
substitutes for the democratic rules
resolutions. The democrats with a
majority in the house, contemplate lit
tie trouble in running things to suit
themselves. In the senate the demo-
Gratis will line up with 81 senators,
against 43 republicans and progress
sives.
Both houses of congress will be be-
sieged tomorrow by small army of
suffragists, who have planned parade
through the downtown streets to end
in the rotunda Of the capitol, where
individual suffragists will perform
missionary work for the cause among
members of the house and senate.

county officers grew out of their ef-
forts to arrest Collins on a COM
plant sworn out by a colored man
named Patterson, who charged that
Collins had assaulted his wife when
they went to take possession of Neil
Clay's cabin at the camp of the
Union Bridge and Construction
Company, which is building a bridge
over the Missouri river a few miles
north of here. Collins had been
staying with Clay since his arrival
at the camp a couple of months ago.
Clay sold the cabin to Patterson yes
terday.
Sheriff Courtney and deputy Bur-
meister came down from Plenty
wood and secured E. P. Wilson to
take them out to the construction
camp. Wilson inquired for Collins
at the office of the company and was
directed to the cabin. AS he step
ped inside the door Collins pulled a
gur and commanded Wilson to
throw up his hands. Wilson did so
and was relieved C his gun.
Collins started to run outside and
! was met by Sheriff Courtney. The
officer drew his gun but Collins was
too quick for him and shot him twice
through the body. The sheriff ap-
parentIy died instantly.
Burmeister, who had remained
with the team, came running up at
the sound of the shooting. The
negro's deadly aim poured five bul.
| lets into Burmeister's body.
Collins took the guns of both men
and jumped into the brush. A
number of Mondak citizens and con-
struction men went in pursuit Of the
negro and he was soon surrounded.
Seeing no chance to escape the fugi-
tive surrendered and was brought
to Mondak, where the officers and
prisoner were met by large crowd
with ropes. Collins was successful
| " lodged in jail after his guards had
stood off the mob.
The mob later made second as
sault and secured the negro.
Deputy Burmeister was brought
here. where a special train was Sc
cured and he was rushed to the hos
nital at Williston. N. D. His death
was reported tonight.

Except for the closing of the places
of liquid refreshment, the average
citizen would hardly have known
that the annual Glendive city election
was occurring on Monday, so little in
terest did the occasion create. There
being no opposition developed to any
of the candidates in the field, voting
by the ordinary citizen was merely a
matter of form. The polls were open
during the usual hours, from 8 to
O'Clock.
In the evening the city council held
the regular monthly meeting and the
votes were canvassed. In the First
Ward the result was as follows: For
mayor, Hagan, so; councilman,

Second Ward gave the following re-

Gil. Other Business.

25 cents for street and alley crossings.
Hanley & Golding also had the only
bid in for tapping, and as their price
Of $33. 90 for water mains was not re-
garded as excessive, they were award
ed the contract.
There were three bids in for street
sprinkling and team work, as follows:
F. B. Whetham, S125.OO per month:
C. Johnson, $4,000; Ed. O'Neil,
$140. 90. The contract was awarded to
Mr.. Whetham.
An interesting discussion was de-
veloped when the question of a reduc-
tion of the city electric lighting rates
was taken up. Finally the body, in
cluding the mayor and all the coun-
cilmen, decided to form a committee
to wait upon the power company in
reference to the subject in hand. A
letter had been received from the city
clerk of Helena inviting the mayors
and city officials of all Montana cities
to meet in Helena on Monday, April
%, for the purpose of formulating
ways and means for the securing of
lower electric rates, as it was con-
sidered that the rates in all Montana
cities are excessively high, when the
cost of the generation of electricity is
considered. This promises to be one
| of the most important movements that
city officials Of Montana have taken
up in long time. Glendive will no
doubt be represented at the Helena
meeting, probably by the mayor and
one or more aldermen.
