day on a charge of stealing a wel-fll.

Farmers Should Raise Livestock

Chicago, Oct. 1~9.-Shortage of a
meat supply faces the world as the
result of the European war. Geo. l..
Mccarthy of New York, president of
the American Meat Packers associa-
ton, asserted before the ninth annual
convention of the association which
opened today.
Europe will soon exhaust it's own
food supply and then will drain the
world to feed it's huge armies and
helpless populations" Mr.. Mccarthy
said. "The results will be felt the
world over. Taken in connection
with the fact that this country is en-
tremely short of food animals, the
prospect for al abundant supply
either in the United States or abroad
is not encouraging.
Light on the diminishing beef sup
ply, the waning herds on the Ameri.
can cattle ranges, methods to be
adopted to induce farmers to raise
more stock and the effects of the war
on the cost of food products is eX.
pected to be discussed in the conven-
ton. More than 700 representatives
of 500 packing and supply houses,
are attending the convention.

Payjno Wolf Bounty Claims.

The state board of examiners auth
orized payment of bounty claims ag-
gregating $10,13S, with interest
amounting to $3O4.14. The interest on
the claims is provided for by a spe-
cial legislative appropriation.
The examiners purpose to pay off
all claims as soon as the monc IS
available, in order to avoid payment of
interest. With the authorization of
yesterday, there remain only claims
for January and February. 1911, and
as soon as these are paid off there will
be only current claims to be disposed
of, and these will be cared for when
the taxes are collected. 1t is Gus.
tomary to settle current bounty ex.
penses in February.
Within the last year, claims amount
ing to approximately 1852, 900 have
been paid. with the result that the
state has practically caught up with
this item of expenditure.

Stuno On Bad PAVING.

Great Falls, Oct. 15.-For the pur.
pose of causing a forfeiture of the
guaranty bond of the Kettle River
Quarries company and recovering
$4,000 as damages because Of alleged
poor work in paving Central avenue
OF this city with creosoted wood block
paving, the city council has directed
the city attorney to take such legal
steps as may be required. and has al.
SO procured additional legal counsel
to help fight the case in court.
The Central avenue paving is in a
horrid plight at the present time, and
there are many sections of it that are
marked with danger signals to prevent
vehicles from running into them.
There were humps in the paving as
much as four feet high as the result
OF the expansion Of the blocks caused
by the recent wet spell. The paving,
about half a mile in length, cost the
city $64.500, and there is hardly a yard
of it that does not show serious de.
fects. The property owners are put
ting up IN everlasting howl about the
quality of the paving, which has been
showing bad for nearly four years. It
was put down less than seven years
ago.
Men who know it's history and have
seen paving in other cities are EN-.
phatic in declaring that wood block
paving in this city is a dismal failure.
Te city had a paving war here two
years ago, when the advocates of
wood block tried to force the city to
use more of it, taking the case to the
supreme court twice, but the oppon.
ents Of wood block won, and those
who advocated it then are in hiding
now.

COMPENSATION AND
Union Workinemen and Aoricultur
lists Always Stand Economically
Opposed to Each Other


Some of the labor unions of Mon.
tana are endeavoring to hoodwink the
farmers Of the state into supporting
the compensation bill, Initiative Meas.
ure No. Z, by representing the worker
and the farmer as in a united attitude
against the manufacturing and indus
trial enterprises of the state.
The farmer produces what the ma
ton eats and wears. He wants to get
as much for these things as he can.
The workingman and all other classes
consume what the farmer produces.
They want to get these things as cheap
as they can. We submit that the in
terests of the farmer and of the work
ingman lie along paths, which run in
exactly opposite directions.
The farmer who casts a vote for the
compensation bill is voting for the
man who would rather see him get ten
cents a bushel for his wheat, than
five cents a bushel more, and he is
also voting to increase his own taxes
and cost of living.
