Will Apportion Estray Fund.

According to advices from Helena,
there is now about $4,000 in the state
treasury to be paid the people who
lost $4,000 by reason of the shortage
in the office of the secretary of the
state board of stock commissioners
four years ago, the shortage being due
to the defalcatiOn of clerk. This
money will ge divided pro rata, Secre-
tary Raymond said today, among the
losers whenever some one in authori.
ty gives the word.
There is on deposit with State
Treasurer w. c. Rae $4,000 in cash
that was recovered, and in addition,
$4,000 more will be realized from the.
sale of house that was turned over
to the board to help make up the loss
es. According to the report of the live
stock Investigating committee. as far
as could be ascertained, about $19, 900
was embeZzled. With only $500
available with which to cover the
shortage, the live stock men will re-
ceive not quite fifty per cent on the
dollar.
The shortage extended over a Pc
riod of two or three years. and was
discovered in the fall of 1910. 1t is
difficult matter to ascertain what
stockmen suffered as result of the
shortages. The owners of estray stock
shipped during the period covered by
the shortages were written to by the
livestock Investigating committee and
asked If they received checks at such
and such times for such and such
sums. II the stOckman said he did not
receive it, he was presumed to have
been sufferer

The Dreaded Cattle Scourqe.

The menace to American livestock
from the dreaded foot and mouth d.
sease against which the federal au-
thorities have taken prompt and dras-
tic measures, is the subject of COM
ment by Professor Welch, veterinar-
ian at the Montana State Agricultural
college. DR.. Welch says in part:
AS far back as medical history goes,
foot and mouth disease has swept back
and forth across Europe, only in re-
cent years being held at all in check.
All cloven footed animals are sus-
ceptible-cattle, sheep, goats and
hogs; horses and man occasionally be-
ing affected.
1t seldom kills matured animal,
though frequently fatal to young
stock, but it's great economic impor-
tance lies in the fact that it causes
such tremendous depreciation in val
ue of all stock. Beef cattle are set
back. lose their appetite, lose their
flesh, milk cows dry up, and are practi-
cally worthless for a year, hogs get
thin, and many die with secondary
troubles. Cattle are sick for three
weeks to three months, slowly recov-
er, and in a year will take the same
disease again.
1t is incredibly contagious. 1t
spreads not only by direct contact, but
by bedding, stock cars, pastures, run
ming water hides, wool, milk, etc.
Farm hands and stock attendants are
most frequently the means of convey
ing infection.
1t absolutely cannot be controlled
by ordinary methods of sanitation and
quarantine. In all recent outbreaks it
has been necessary to destroy all dis
eased and all exposed animals, burn
all hay and grain to which the cattle
had access, and disinfect everything
pens, yards, owners, farm hands and
veterinarians. If one case of foot and
mouth disease sbe found in large
dairy, all cattle on the place are at
once killed and buried.
A single case of the disease doesn't
amount to much. \ COW has sore
mouth and shows high fever. En-
animation shows small blisters on the
tongue, inside of the lips and cheeks
and gums. Similar sore spots appear
around the cleft between the toes.
causing lameness. In five or six days
she begins to improve, and if no com
plications set in, in two or three weeks
she is almost normal. But when ev-
erything on the place gets it, occasion
ally including the hired man, and it
serious thing.

Peculiar Freak Potato.

OF one of those peculiar freaks that
nature produces sometimes in the
vegetable kingdom, as it does in the
animal and human. 1t is a potato dug
up on the ranch of J. J. Ward, near
Missoula. Two spuds had evidently
tried to unite. One, the larger, formed
perfect body; the other, somewhat
smaller, was perfect head, with
mouth, ears and nose and eyes. With
little pencilins, the freak was made
to look like human being. When a

The full and complete count of
Chouteau county election returns kept
the canvassing board in session until
late hour Tuesday evening, when the
result was officially announced. The
returns showed that more than 1000
Chouteau county voters went to the
polls, although number of them fail
ed to mark their ballots for some of
the Offices. This omission was most
noticeable in the case of the Office Of
county auditor, for which less than
$50 votes were cast, Mr.. Elderman's
total showing a plurality of only thir-
teen. The total vote for each candi.
date and the several propositions that
were submitted, is officially declared

USE FORT BENTON FLOUR
F'rst-Class Product ls Manufactured |
BY Modern MACHINERY.

F'rst.Class Product ls Manufactured
BY Modern Machinery.
The farmer who brings his wheat to
Fort Benton can have the pleasure of
using flour made from his own grain,
and his neighbors and friends in the
country and in this city are afforded
the same privilege. The Fort Benton
flour mill is now in operation, the ma
chinery making its first run Monday
and everything working most satisfac-
torily.
The distinction of being the first to
bring "grist to the mill" belongs to F.
Faylor, who had been waiting for the
grain was quickly followed by the de-
livery of wheat that had been brought
In by other farmers.
Tests of the product of the new mill
show that it will bear comparison with
the flour made in other parts of Mon.
tana from a similar grade of wheat,
and little aging will add to its merit
and popularity.
The capacity of the mill is 60 barrels
per day and this capacity can be easi-
ly increased should the necessity arise,
by the addition of one or more extra
rolls. There are at present four 'dou-
ble-stands' rolls which allows the grain
to be put through eight distinct grind.
ing operations. The power used is
electricity transmitted through a 35-
horsepower motor. The use of electric
power to operate the machinery elimi-
mates all trouble of dirt or contamina-
tion from that source, cleanliness being
a most desirable factor in all milling
operations.
The machinery was supplied by the
Wolf Company, of Chambersburg, Pa.
and their representative, Mr.. J. H.
Hemperley was on the ground Monday
when the power was turned on to see
that everything was running smoothly.
The mill building was constructed by
Henry Hagen of Fort Benton and it has
been built in such solid manner as to
eliminate as much as possible the vi.
bration from the machinery. The site
was selected with a view to affording
plenty of elbow room for the receipt of
grain and the delivery of flour and
feed, and the Milling Company have Sc.
cured sufficient ground to enable them
to extend the mill if required. 1t is
believed that in short time a good
proportion of the product will be trans.
ported by river and the location of the
plant admits of this being done very
conveniently.
Tracy M. Andrews, the manager OF
the mill, is an experienced miller and
is very sanguine that he will be able
to make success of the undertaking
All that he requires now that the plant
is working is the cooperation of the
farmers, and no doubt this will be
forthcoming.
Mr.. Andrews is making a liberal
proposition to farmers in which foul
, and feed stuff are offered in exchange
for wheat. or the grain will be trans
formed into flour and feed at stated
price per bushel. Wheat will also be
purchased by the mill company at the
prevailing market price.
Let's all use Fort Benton -four, in
stead of buying that product from dis
tant localities.

Paris Academy of Medicine
Hears of New tuberculosis
Cure by Swiss Scientist

PARIS, April ga new treatment
for tuberculosis which, in the opinion
of some of the principal experts in
the disease, gives greater hope for
a cure of one seourge than anything
yet discovered was described to the
Academy of Medicine at a sitting last
night. The new method for combating
the disease is the discovery of a
young Swiss biologist, Henry Spahl-
niger.
The treatment as described to the
Academy, consists of combined intra-
muscular injections of antigenlc solu-
tons and of ferments, which are
modified according to the condition of
each patient The treatment, it is
claimed, causes the drying up of lung
cavities, and the disappearance of
bacilli and stops the fever-three re-
suits which never have been obtained
by any previous method for the cure
of tuberculosis. The action of the
injections Is said to be extremely
rapid on incipient cases.
Spahlinger is not doctor. Original
iy no was a lawyer, but abandoned
law for science. He spent four years
in work and 100000 of his private
fortune In the research which led to
his discovery.

Liberals Angry at
ChurchiIl's Offer to
Compromise on Ulster

LONDON, April 29.--Much interest
has been created by a new offer to
Sir Edward Carson. the Ulster leader,
made by Winston Spencer Churchill,
first lord of the admiralty, in the
course of a speech in the House of
Commons last night. The minister in
Vited Sir Edward Carson to make an
attempt to compromise the home rule
question on the federal basis.
Mr.. Churchill is reported to have
spoken entirely for himself and with
out the authority of the cabinet
Many of tho Liberals are indignant at
him for taking the course he did, con-
tending that it will, only be inter-
preted as q sign of weakness on the
part of the government. John Red
mond, in an interview, said he did
not understand there was anything
new in Mr.. Churchill's offer, but that
If anything came of it he was ready
to exert himself to placate the Ulster
men and reach an honorable settle-
ment OF the question.
The view of the Unionist leaders
here is that Mr.. ChurchillFs offer
must have been debated in cabinet
council held earlier In the day. They
believe it entirely changes the situa-
ton and improves the prospect of
an agreement being reached. Andrew
Bonar Law, the Opposition leader in
the House of Commons, is said to be
ready to renew negotiations with Pre-
fnier Asquith il the government will
take the initiative
