OFFICIAL PAPER OF CHOUTEAu COUNTY
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1e, 1s1
A GOOD SUGGESTION.

A new departure in the direction of
reducing the cost of county and state
government is suggested by the Mis-
soulian, and it is hoped the plan will
receive favorable consideration from
Montana law makers.
About $4,000 is paid out each year
by the state and county governments
in Montana, for bonding state and
county officials.
This money is sent out of the state
every year to eastern bonding COM
panies. For instance, the treasurer
of Missoula county is bonded in the
sum of $150,0OO, the yearly premium
of $500 being paid, as it should be
paid, out of the taxes levied by the
county.
Probably not thirty per cent. of the
total amount of premiums paid is re-
quired to meet defalcation by public
officials.
The remaining seventy per cent. OF
the premiums paid goes to local, spe'
cial and general agents, cost of adj
ministration, and profits to the bond
ing companies.
The state of Montana already has
an insurance department in the state
auditors office, which could very
easily supervise the issuance of sure
ty bonds by the state, for all the state
and county officials, at saving OF
half the cost to the people of the
state, under the present system.
In other words, let the state Of Mon
tana collect the premiums and write
it's own surety bonds for the various
officials.
There are not less than one thOus
and notary public bonds carried in
Montana and several hundred addi
tional bonds for road supervisors.
These officials pay the premium or
their own bonds Their offices, how
ever. are state and county offices ant
the bonds could be carried in thu
state auditors office at Helena, thu
premiums now paid to eastern bond
ing companies being paid into th'
state fund
For many years, Germany ha:
maintained a life insurance depart
ment and the state of Wisconsin ha:
recently installed a similar depart
ment for the people of that state.
While Montana is probably no
vet ready to take up the matter o
life insurance. it could with little
trouble and slight additional clerica
expense, write the bonds for it's owl
state and county officials. at savins
of more than half the cost to the tax
payers.
We believe that the experiment il
we'll worth trying. 1t may be tina
some of our legislative solons, elect
may find interest enough in the sug
gestion here made to work out th'
plan.

Cultivate Cheerfulness

"Smile and the world smiles with
'Ou.
Knock, and you knock alone:
For the cheerful grin
Will let you in
Where the kicker is never known.
Growl, and the way looks dreary,
Laugh, and the path is bright,
For welcome smile
Brings sunshine, while
A frown shuts out the light.
Sing, and the worlds harmonious
Grumble. and things go wrong,
And all the time
You are out of rime
With the busy, bustling throng.
Kick, and there's trouble brewing
Whistle, and life is gay;
And the worlds in tune
Like day in June
And the clouds all melt away.

J. 5. STATUTE
 IN STATE CASE
Federal Employers Liabil- ity Law Ruling by Ari- zona Supreme Court in Damage Case from Co., chise County

Although the state of Arizona has an employers liability act, as well as a compulsory compensation stat ute. a case was tried recently in Co., chise county in which the federal employers liability act was involved, although the trial occurred since statehood and the suit was instituted since that time. The reason for this state of affairs was that the accident upon which the case was predicated occurred during the territorial re- sime. The suit was brought by Lucia Guana, administratrix of the estate of Manuel Guana, the man who suffered on account of the al legged negligence of the company, against the Southern Pacific com- pany
 The report of the case from the supreme court says:
 This was an appeal from a de- cision of the superior court of Pima county in favor of the Southern Pac- fife Co.,. sustaining a demurrer to the complaint of the plaintiff and holding the complaint did not state facts suf- ficient to constitute a cause of ac- ton. The deceased was employed around the round house at Benson, Arizona, as a cleaner, and occasion ally to assist in running engines in and out of the round house. On July 10th, 1910, while assisting in running an engine out of the round house he was struck by one of the
 posts in the building.
 Tt happened that the engine in
 question was much wider than those
 usually used, and the deceased was
 not informed of that fact, and on ac-
 count of the darkness of the round house was unable to notice the diff ference.
 The question involved was the as- sumption of risk by the employe. The supreme court in its opinion said: While there may be cases 1T which it becomes the duty of the court to decide upon demurrer that the employe assumed the risks as pleaded, We do not think this is that kind of a case, reversed the judg- l ment and remanded the case with directions to over-rule the demurrer The case was governed by the 1 federal employers liability act o1 April p, 1908. The opinion of the court was written by Judge Ross i and concurred in by Chief Justice
 Franklin and Judge Cunningham"

ARIZONA, THE LAND OF SUN.
 SHINE
(By J. J. Lipford)

(By J. J. Lipford) I have found a place at last Where natures beauty grows Where mountains rise to kiss the s-n
 Where the silvery Colorado river flows.
 Arizona is a land of sunshine, With soil rich and deep, With mountains rich with minerals That expanded broad and steep. She is in her infancy at present, With future prospects bright, Her little towns are no longer crawling,
 But walking with delight. The desert is now full of flowers, And bees their welcome guest, Are real pleasures in January, In the fragrant golden west. No rains to wash our fence away, No fog to check our pace. No storms to blow our houses
 down,
 Arizona is the place. A climate for the winter. In the valley can be found, Where bedroom suites of furniture Can be placed upon the ground Only few paces to the mountains Will bring us to a land Where the summer sun is pleasant And pleasure is at hand. Arizona is now a health resort. You know why I can tell, Some of our doctors are working Because their patients have got
 ten well.
 A wint'ry day of sunshine Brings health and happiness to The depth of it's blessings Can't be solved by tongue or pen. When the, reservations open And the land is taken up. Homes will decorate this desert. Fat cows will fill our cup. While our alfalfa crop is growing. And the prize for long staple is
 won,
 A trip through the desert will show What climate, water and work
 has done.
 Our oranges ripen early,
 Which are delicious and always
 fine,
 If you want the best on market You had better fall in line. For a view of natural scenery The most beautiful in the land Take trip on the Colorado rivel And go through the Canyon Grand. In this gigantic piece of nature Where waters run and mountains
 stand,
 The mouth of Mother Earth is
 open wide
 In a place not built by hand. Before you settle down for life, Decide before your fortunes give To come to the land of sunshine, It's the only place to live.

An Unknown AiIment,

A small boy of Nashville has been
afflicted with mumps. The siege was
unusually long and disagreeable. One
evening recently an aunt, who is a
newspaper woman, called up the boys
mother on the telephone to cancel an
engagement. She was absent and the
boy himself answered the call
Tell your mother" said the aunt,
that | can't come out this evening be-
cause have taken an assignment. Can
you remember that?"
Yes, ma'am," said the boy. I'll tell
her" When the mother returned he
said to her:
Mother, auntie telephoned that she
couldn't come, because she is sick"
Sick? Why, what's the matter?"
she wanted to know.
Il forgot what it is she's got" said
the boy, its something she has taken.

of the army and in which there shall be officers
in number and with rank while serving in the
corps, as follows. One officer of the rank of
major, who shall be the commandant of the corps
and of the aviation school; two officers with the
rank of captain and not to exceed 80 officers with
the rank of lieutenant"
mo officer shall be detailed as commandant of
the aviation corps unless he shall have displayed
especial skill and ability as a military aviator, "
continues the bill, in order to make it impossible
for an officer from some other branch of the
army to assume charge of the corps merely
through political influence. 1t will be remembered
that Maj Gen. Leonard Wood and Representative
Hay were always at daggers drawn, and those
who familiar with this feud echo of
it in this provision of the Hay bill.
That service in the aviation corps will entail
much greater danger than ordinary military train
ing calls for is recognized in the section of the
Hay bill which provides that Officers of the avia-
ton corps shall while on duty that requires them
to participate in aerial flights receive an increase
of so per cent in the pay of their respective
grades in the corps" The so per cent increase
in pay is also extended to the enlisted men, not
to exceed 260 in number, who will participate in
the work of the corps
The establishment of an army aviation school
is provided for. The bill says: This aviation
school shall be located and maintained at a mill
tary post owned by the United States and not
within the District of Columbia" The object of
excepting the District of Columbia is said to be
twofold: First, to remove the school as far as
possible from the influence of the bureaucracy
alleged to govern the war department, and Sec
ondly, to prevent the overcrowding of the govern
ment ground in the District

When a simple change Of diet brings

briefly told. A lady of Springfield, H..

After being afflicted for years with
nervousness and heart trouble, l re-
ceived a shock four years ago that left
me in such a condition that my life
was despaired of.

from the numberless heart and nerve
remedies l tried, because l didn't know
that coffee was daily putting me back
more than the doctors could put me
ahead.

Postum, and against my expectations
gradually improved in health until for
the past or months l have been
entirely free from nervousness and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells Of heart trouble.
my troubles all came from the use
of coffee which l had drunk from
childhood and yet they disappeared
when l quit coffee and took up the use

Poker Kills $1,000 Whale.

The crew of the oil steamer Cali
fornia were happy on reaching port
because they had captured a whale
and found ambergris worth $1,000.
A school Of playful whales followed
the vessel up the coast, and, having
nothing else to do the crew tried to
capture one bull In the wake of the
ship. There was no harpoon aboard,
so they fashioned one out OF the sto-
ker's poker that resembled crowbar.
After many attempts they landed a

spect to her air force.
BY reason of a bill recently passed by the
ate all this is to be changed. An aviation corps,
distinct from the signal corps, in which aviators
have heretofore been placed, will be formed; 60
officers are to be selected from the cream of the
army and 260 privates are to be drilled in the es-
sentias OF pilots. At the same time appropria-
lions are to be made for the construction of
number of military arships including bplanes
and dirigibles, and the more or less antiquated
models now in use by the army will be relegated
to the scrap heap or used only for demonstration
purposes.
