A Successful Entertainment.

One of the best and most successful
entertainments ever produced by lOc-
al talent was given at the opera house
Thursday evening, under the direction
of Mrs. A. j. Fisk, of the Book Enter
tainment company. 1t was witnessed
by crowded house, and everyone was
delighted with the unique and attrac-
tive features of the program. The
County Fair was represented in a num-
ber of pretty and amusing scenes that
occasioned admiration and merriment
among the audience.
Among the musical numbers were a
moon chorus by 25 little girls and a
hayseed chourus by about 20 small
boys-some of the little tots being un-
der school age-the Juvenile perform
ers receiving liberal applause. The
adult members who took part in the
county fair scene gave clever presenta-
tions of some of the amusing incidents
of such occasions. and kept the audi
ence in roar of laughter.
There were several musical numbers
and dances that were splendidly exc
cuted, the Boogy Boos and the Caba.

Novel Scheme For Relief.

Washington, Dec. 6.--Of the many
novel schemes for aiding war victims
in Europe that of an Oregon rancher
takes the lead. 1t was submitted by
him to Senator Chamberlain, who. in
turn, submitted it to the war depart
ment, eliciting the following response:
"The suggestion of your constituent
that federal troops be employed in
killing jack rabbits in Oregon for use
as food for the starving people OF lIu-
rope has been considered by the de-
partment which finds the plan imprac-
ticable. Nor is it within the law to
use United States troops for such pur-
pose."

Would Tax Livestock.

In order to provide money with
which to reimburse stockmen whose
stock has been ordered destroyed be-
cause of an outbreak of a malady such
as the foot and mouth disease which
recently seriously threatened Montana,
the LIVESTOCK sanitary board recon-
mends in it's report to Governor Stew
art. that reserve fund be created by
the Legislature for that purpose.
The report suggests that this fund
be created by means of special tax,
as in the case of the bounty fund, and
that it be sufficient to cover all the
work of the livestock board, including
the tuberculin test of cattle and the
payment of all Identities.
Recommendation are also made for
an appropriation sufficient to pay all
outstanding claims against the state
for animals destroyed by order OF the
livestock sanitary board: for power to
appoint additional veterinarians as in
creased work may develop: an ade-
quate appropriation for the use OF the
agricultural college to purchase anti
hog cholera serum; the establishment

Would Photograph Prisoners.

Butte, Dec. IA more active can
vass will be made at the next legisla-
ture by proponents of the measure to
get bill passed giving police depart
ments of Montana cities the right to
photograph and file photographs of
prisoners. Under the present laws,
police chiefs cannot do this, and the
right is reserved for the warden of the
state penitentiary. At the present
time not even picture of confessed
murderer can be taken until he is
delivered over to the state prison, un-
less the prisoner gives his consent.
A bill was introduced at the last
legislature, but never got out of the
committee, and no active canvass was
made for its passage. There was no
outward opposition to the bill, how
ever, and since that time the various
chiefs of the state have interested
themselves in the bill and will work
for it next January. If Montana de-
partments are given authority to
mug" prisoners, the departments can
join in the national exchange of Grim
inals' photographs.

Must Use Revenue Stamps,


In reply to an inquiry from the
county clerk of Silver Bow county, the
United States district attorney ex-
plains certain features of the new
war revenue tax as follows:
l. 1t is the duty of the county clerk
and recorder to refuse instruments
that do not bear the revenue stamps
required.
2 1t is the duty of the county clerk
to inquire what the amount of money
involved is when only nominal con.
sideration is mentioned in the instru-
ment.
3. Instruments subject to war tax
that were executed before Dec.1, 1914,
require stamps provided they were not
delivered until after said date.
4. Mortgages are not subject to this
tax
5. 1t is not necessary to have
stamps on both the note and mortgage,
but the stamp affixed tc the note
should be mentioned in the mortgage
to show that the original note bears
such stamp.

Advice For Law Makers,

Helena, Dec. 3.-''I would suggest
that in future no law, except an ap-
preparation or emergency act, should
become effective until 60 days after
it's approval" says Secretary of State
A. M. Anderson in his annual report to
Gov. S. V. Stewart.
He points out that it requires six
weeks to compile, index and publish
the session laws. "Until this is DONE"
he says, 1.-The people generally, and
even officers charged with it's enforce
ment, often DO not know what is the
law. In conclusion he says the six
ty-day stay could be provided for in
the measures themselves and would
save much confusion and duplication
of work.
In his report, the secretary Of state
also makes reference to an apprOpria-
tion for printing campaign books un-
der the provisions of the corrupt prac-
tices act. He says:
~ have estimated that the corrupt
practices booklets in 1916 will cost
$4,000 at each election, the primary
and the general. The state will derive
considerable revenue from these bro
chures, but not enough to pay for
them. Therefore, trust appropria-
tions will be made so that the state
can pay as it goes for the privilege of
heralding to the electorate the ad-
mirable qualities of the several gentle
men---and ladies', tOO-whO shall as
pire to Office in 1916"

Conrad independent: The heaviest
shipment of hogs that has ever been
made from this community was last
Saturday, when sixteen cars of hogs,
ready for the market, were shipped
from this point. The stock went to
Chicago, and was made up by farmers
from this immediate locality and Va
lier. Five of the cars We're from near
Waller and the remainder from the
farms near this city. There has been
no market locally for hogs this fall,
the Great Falls concern buying none
at all except for local use. The big
packing plant at Great Falls is not yet
ready for use, and will not be until
about the first of the year. and for this
reason there has been no local market.
