FaIlon County On Map

Miles City, Nov. 29.-Fallon county
carved out of the northeastern por-
ton of Custer county, has taken it's
position in the sisterhood of Montana
counties. Returns are struggling in
slowly from Tuesdays election, but
enough have been received to show
the county carried by an overwhelm.
ing majority, and indications are that
Ekalaka won out over Baker in the
race for county seat honors.
The vote on the county seat was
close. Returns that are not official
give Ekalaka q majority over Baker
of less than 20 votes. The town of
Dennis received about 200 votes, and
as Ekalaka did not have a majority
of the entire number Of votes cast,
the question of the permanent To-
cation of the county seat must be an
issue at the next general election.
Baker is a new town on the Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul railroad and
not far from the Dakota line. Ekalaka
is in the center of an old cattle and
sheep territory and a long way from
a railroad. Dennis is located in the
northern part of the new county and
is not on a railroad.

Bulletin on Sheep Industry

Looking forward to the time when
the sheep industry of Montana will
be conducted by the method of small
flocks on small farms, instead of the
large f1ocks on the open range which
has been the typical method in Mon.
tana for a generation, r. F. Miller,
assistant animal husbandryman of
the Montana experiment station, has
prepared a circular on the "Care and
Management Of Sheep on the Farm"
which is now in press and VIII soon
be ready for distribution.
In his Introduction Mr.. Miller re-
fers to the fact that this is a tran
sition stage in the sheep indus
try. He says that since 1911, when
Montana led the states of the Union
in the number of its sheep, with 1885,
900 head, the total number in the
state has declined rapidly because of
the influx of settlers and the taking
up OF the government land for farms.
Under the old regime he says that the
wool vas the only product seriously
considered in the sheep industry, but
under the new methods wool and NUT
ton will both be factors in the profit.

Montana's Good Horses.

An eastern paper seems surprised
to n out that Montana furnishes
more horses for the United States
army than any other state. Over
1000 head per year are shipped from
the remount station at Fort Keogh,
near Miles City, for army service.
This station in charge of Captain
Howard, is the largest remount depot
in the United States, employing more
than 100 men the year round, whose
duties are to prepare horses for SER
vice in the army. The Montana horses
have a reputation for soundness OF
wind, good feet and great powers OF
endurance.

Proposed City improvements

If the plans recommended by a cit
liens committee are carried into eff
feet, the proposed city improvements
will include sanitary and storm sew
ers in the central part of the NUM-
cipality, and a uniform system of
street improvements that will add
largely to the attractive appearance
of the town. The report of the com-
mittee vas presented to the city coun-
Gil Monday evening, a number of in
terested citizens being present at the
meeting
For the purpose of constructing san
itary and storm sewers, the commit
tee recommended that the city issue
bonds and outlined the district to be
covered by the proposed sewerage
system. The district COVERS portions
of Front, Franklin, Washington and
Chouteau streets, and certain parts
of Fort, First and lower Main streets.
The committee recommended that
the city council create special i'm
provement district No. l, covering the
following area, and improve it with
concrete sidewalks, boulevards, curb
ing, irrigation, grading and macadam-
izing:
On Front street beginning at the
running the full length on the street
to the southwest line OF Merchant
street. On Main street commencing
at the southwest lines of Fourth
street and running the full length of
the street to the southwest line of
Merchant street.
To create Special district No. 2, GOV.
ering the following area and improve
it in the same manner as district No.
one.
On Franklin street, beginning at
the southwest line of Third street and
running the full length of the street
to the center of Rondin street.
On Washington street, beginning at
the southwest line of Fourth street,
and running the full length of the
street to the northeast line of Butte
street.
On Chouteau street, beginning at
the southwest line of Power street,
and running the full length of the
street to the southwest line of Bond
street.
The report Of the committee was
accompanied by an estimate of the
cost of the proposed improvements
prepared by Mr.. Jacqueth, the Kalis.
pell civil engineer. The exhibit gave
$4,000 as the approximate cost of
the sanitary sewer, and about $4,000
for the storm sewer.
The proposed street improvement in
district No. l were estimated to cost
about $4,000, or a average of about
1857 for each lot. In district No. 2
the estimate was $4,000, or about
1926 per lot.
After an extended discussion by
members of the council and several
of the citizens present, during which
most of the property n declared
themselves in favor of the proposed
improvements, the matter was laid ov-
er for future action by the city coun.
Gil.
