HOME GARDEN CLUB GROWING
A LARGE NUMBER INTERESTED

The movement that has been
taken up with such great success
in other cities has now been begun
here by the Woman's Club. Al
ready fifty boys and girls are en-
listed in the Home Garden contest
and are preparing to cultivate sec
tions of ground ranging from
small plats AXIS #. up to any size
desired.
Parents are invited to encourage
their children to enroll at as early
a date as possible. 1t will give the
boys and girls pleasant months;
it will teach them the elements of
agriculture-the industry on which
life depends; it will appeal to their
love of nature; it will teach them
self-reliance, as each child will be
dependent upon himself for the re-
suits of his labor.
In the fall an exhibition will be
held, and prizes awarded to the
contestants. A full list of prizes
and premiums will be published at
some other time. At the present
writing $40 has been offered for
prizes; $50 by the Libby Realty
Co. aud $40 by the Woman Club.
Attractive signs bearing the
nam" Garden Club will be dis
tributed to contestants this week.
These signs are to be posted in
full view of the street, 50 that the
gardens may be easily located by
passers-by.
Among the vegetables for which
prizes are to be awarded are beets,
carrots, onions, potatoes, radishes

and lettuce; among the flowers are
marigolds, pinks, poppies, candy
tuft, fire plant and portulaca. If
any children wish to raise other
kinds of flowers or vegetables, they
may do SO; special prize will be
offered for the best general exhibit
of vegetables, and one for the best
general exhibit of flowers.
If any children living in the
country wish to enter the contest,
they can arrange to do so by call
ing at the library any Saturday af-
ternoon from $3.50 to 4 o'clock.

PROBING LAND ENTRIES CITY COUNCIL MEETING

The city council held an ad-
journed meeting last Friday even
ing. The council had figured
that it would, under the terms of
the sewer contract, pay for the
labor and materials used in con-
struction of the sewer and charge
it up to the contractor. The con-
tractor did not have enough COM
ing TO pay all the material claims
and as to whose claims had prior
right, and as to whether it could
be legally done or not caused con-
siderable discussion. The council
did not wish to do anything that
would hurt the standing of the
city with the bonding company.
Attorney J, M. Blackford was pre-
sent at the meeting and was ap-
pealed to. He informed the coun-
Gil that he was attorney for the
bonding company and that his
oath of office would not allow him
to take both sides or give out in
formation that would be detri-
mental to his client After dts
cussing the proposition for a long
time it was decided to leave the
matter over till the next meeting
and have it looked in thoroughly
so that the city would run no risk.
Mr.. Blackford addressed the
council on the subject Of patent
pills and hand bills, saying that
it was impossible for him to keep
his premises in shape when hand
bills were daily thrown over the
fence. He portrayed the danger
attached to the indiscriminate dis
tribution of patent medicines as
samples. Some child might pick
them up and they were not the
proper thing for children. He was
requested, as acting city attorney,
to draft an ordinance forbidding
this practice.
P. S. Rose made application for
a plumbing license and this was
approved and ordered granted.
Ordinance No. 68 was read and
referred to the ordinance com nit
tee. THIS ordinance will change
the boundaries of the first and
third wards so that they will be in
better shape. It will also fix
things SO that Alder man Kieni'z
will still be in the first ward when
he moves to his new house.

Helena Mont.-There were
pending for Investigation by spe-
cial agents of the general land
Office in Montana at the beginning
of this month total OF only 2,8oo
land cases, according to figures
compiled in the office of Ira Lantz,
chief of the fourth field division of
the general land office, with head
quarters here. This aggregate re-
presents all land entries that have
been made in the state which are
not proceeding in the regular way
to patent, except the entries that
have been held up in the local
land offices for non compliance with
the technicalities.
There are held up for exanlina-
ton for mineral and coal possibilities
a total of 658 entries. Many of
this number, however, comprise
state indemnity and Northern
Pacific selections.
There are but 737 homestead
and desert lard entries under in.
vestigation in Montana to deter
mine whether the entrYmen have
complied with the land laws and
have not been guilty of fraud.
Many of the cases included in
the total of 2,8o9 are merely rou-
tine Investigations, as for timber
and stone appraisals. Other classes
of cases included in the total are:
Investigations of applications to
cut timber; coal and timber tres
pass; unlawful inclosure; apprais-
ais of isolated tracts; power site
examinations; examination of lands
as to coal or mineral character;
alleged criminal acts.
The people in the Kalispell dis
trict seem to be more honest than
the average or better able to con-
ceal their intention to defraud
than those in the other districts.
There are only 81 cases under in
vestigation in this district, which
is a very small percentage.
