POPE PLUS D|fS:
 WAR HASTfNS END
PONTIFF'S DEATH SUDDEN
ALARMING SYMPTOMS DID NOT DEVELOP UNTIL WEDNES-
 DAY MORNING.

Rome, Aug. 2O.-Pope Plus X. died lat l:2O o'clock this morning. He had been i'll for several days, but alarming symptoms did not develop until Wednesday morning.
 Throughout the day Doctors Mar Chiafava and Amici devoted their utmost energies to stimulating their patient and keeping him alive
 The cardinals were notified of the pope's grave condition and some of them who entered the sick room de- scribed the scene as heart -rending, especially when the pontiff, rousing himself from time to time, spoke. Once he said, "In ancient times the pope, by word, might have stayed the slaughter, but now he is impo- tent"
 Prayers are said by thousands and church bells sounded when the sacra- ment was exposed upon all the altars. Extreme unction was administered by Monsignor Campini, scaristan to His Holiness, amid touching scene The pope's sisters and his niece were overcome with grief Cardinal Merry del Val knelt by the side of his bed, where other cardinals joined him. members of the household intoning prayers.
 The dying pope in moment of lucidity, said:
 Now I begin to think as the end is approaching that the Almighty in his inexhaustible goodness wishes to spare me the horrors Europe is un- dergoing"
 Up to noon even the members of the household were unaware of the seriousness of the pope's condition Almost without warning came the word that the pontiff was at deaths door.
 All day his agony continued. At times he revived and was able to say a few words, but hope of saving him finally was abandoned.

STATE WILL LOAN
 UNIVERSITY FUNDS

Little Rock, Aug. 20.-The State Debt Board is advertising for bids on the loan of 5000 belonging to the University of Arkansas endowment fund. Ten years ago number of sewer bonds were presented to the University, and since they were re- deemed the money has been lying idle in the state treasury. At eight per cent interest it would almost have doubled in this time. The donor of the bonds did not specify what should be done with the proceeds, and there has been some question about the use of the money. It has been decided that the State Debt Board should put the money out at interest, and the bids will be opened September 19.

 NAME. FROM TICKET

Little Rock, Aug g.20.-In response to query by Election Commissioner D. M. Allen of Washington county, At torney General Moose has advised him that election commissioners have no authority to judge a nominees $ qualifications to hold office. He had been asked if nominee had failed to pay his poll tax, whether the con- missioners should certify out his nom- ination. Judge Moose holds that that is clearly judicial question with which the commissioners have nothing to do; they should certify the nomi- nation, and let the courts determine his qualification.

THE TRANSITION PERIOD.

This section just now facing industrial problems that
should engage thoughtful attention
We believe chat this section just undergoing transition
period ought with much meang-one changing the very
system of our industrial commercial G and carrying with many
problems the proper solution of which will mean much to our future
prosperity.
Only years ago the supply merchant controlled the business
of the community Each sprag the farmer large small regularly
as the season sought h merchant for the years supp
nd there morgged years products bEore they made
The system changing, The old time supply merchant isl
gradually steadily giving place the cash merchant The supply
merchant himself falling ne and each year he finds his cash trade
the increase and his credit business the decrease.
We discussing just the the conditions which
may be active bringing about this transition but it enough for our
purpose that seadasty this transition period
with its own pecuar problems for our solution
The first lesson that suggests itself greater economy in V
ing The order will force adjust ourselves greater economy
We all lived extragaganty 1t fall into
tavagnce buying under the credit y But the gates
ed gradually closing and enter the order let US learn
economy
Second the order will call upon to raise of our living
at hone And this all the road to real prosperity As shas
said at will call for every farmer the land to eat bread from
his own fields from his pastures disturbed by
creditor and ensvd by debt 1t will permit him to sit his
eemng gardens and orchards and barn yards pitching his crops his
wisdom and growing them in independence selling his surplus
produce his and his market End
bidding getting his pay cash and not recepel mortgages that
discharge his debt but does not his freedom
The transitions calling fH greater economy of time and
effort We do not like to be called sothful, but did you
stop to count up your idle moments. That broken
down fence could have been repaired that drain opened
while shooting spaows That clerk has failed because
he did not his idle studying his stock and
planning how best to effect the SALE That lawyer has lost many
clients because he aomp in dchargug the last business
trusted to him And SO Aoug the line much
valuable time
With the proper adjustment changing system believe
we shall enter upon greater Of prosperity

Free Trees for Some.

Information has reached the De-
partment of Agriculture that some
misunderstanding OF the scope and
purpose of the cooperative shelter
belt development work recently UNI
dertaken in connection with the
Northern Great Plains Field Station
vt Mandan. North Dakota, appears
to have resulted from an announce
ment recently issued by the Depart
nent regarding that work. That
announcement has evidently been
understood by some to mean that a
general free distribution of plant and
tree material from the Mandan Field
Station was contemplated. This is
not the case. On the contrary, the
number of farmers with whom the
Department can cooperate in this
work will necessarily be limited
both by the number of seedlings
available and the ability of applicants
to meet the Department requirements
regarding the character and prepara-
tions of the land and planting, cult
walton, care, and continued protectio,
of the trees against damage by live.
stock or fire.
No general or indiscrimnate dis.
tributon of trees from the IielI
station at Mundan is contemplated
nor will material there be available
for use on town or village lots, or OF
farms outside of the Northern Great
Plains area, which include Nort
and South Dakota west of the lO0tl
meridian, and Montana and Wyom-
ing east Of the 5,OO0-ft. elevation

Hold Office Full Term.

Attorney j A. Tressler handed us
the following and it will be of more
than ordinary interest to the voters
Of the new proposed county. 1t has
been thought by many that the three
commissioners receiving the highest
number of votes would be the COM
missioners elected. According to the
opinion as below, it will be tive three
who receive the highest mum Der of
votes TO" the three different terms:
The provisions of Chapter ll2, 18th
Session Laws, and Chapter 1873, Thir-
teepth Session Laws, relative to the
election of officers in new counties
are the same. The courts have not
construed this particular provision of
the statute and hence any opinion
thereon would be matter of first
impression.
The statute above referred to has
been interpreted by Attorney General
Galen in an opinion dated December
is, 1911. In this opinion Attorney
General Galen held that in new coun-
ties, commissioners should be elected
for two, four, and siX-year terms
respectively. Later an unofficial
opinion was given by Assistant Attor-
ney General Towner to the same effect,
and further holding that commits
sioners elected in new counties held
for the terms of two, four, and six
years; he further stated in the opinion
rendered by him, that the same was
not official, but that it was concurred
in by Attorney General Galen and
other Assistant Attorney Generals.
While this last mentioned opinion
may not be considered an official
opinion of the office of the attorney
general, it may however be construed
as an expression of the opinion held
by the Office Of the attorney general.

Would License Land Locators.

The enactment of a statute providing
for the licensing of land locators, the
license to be issued for a nominal fee,
with provisions for its revocation in
case Of fraud, and strong penalties for
the collection of Il locator's fee by
any person not the holder of such IL
license, is urged by Commissioner
j. M. Kennedy Of the department of
agriculture and publicity in his
biennial report.
"The method Of actually placing
the incoming settler upon vacant
public land is not entirely satisfac-
tOry,' says Commissioner Kennedy
"While the land office records and
plats are open to public inspection
the ordinary homeseeker is not sut1i-
GENTLY familiar with the topogra Oily
Of the country to find Il vacant tract
of land from the data given him by
the office records. In the great
majority Of Instances the homeseeker
is compelled to call upon professional
locators. who, for a substantial fee
place the settler upon a vacant tract.
While it is Gully fair to say that the
majority of men engaged in land
locating in Montana are honorable il
their dealings with the new settler, a
number of cases of tlAgrant misrepre-
sen tation, resulting in rank injustice
