Protests High School Tax.

The legality of the Chouteau county
high school tax is questioned in suit
brought in the district court by John
d. Panchot, a taxpayer who is said to
represent other owners of property
that is subject to the tax. The plain
tiff seeks an injunction against w. r.
Leet, county treasurer, to prevent the
ing a free county high school, petit
ton for the writ being filed in the dis
trict court by his attorney, A. J. Galen,
of Helena.
The petition recites the proceedings
under which the county high school
was established, and the methods by
which the board of trustees proposed
to secure funds necessary for building
purposes, and submits that the imposi-
ton of five-mill tax for the purpose
specified is not authorized by the law.
Action in the matter was taken by
Judge Tattan at the Monday session of
court, as the question will subsequent
ly be taken to the supreme court for
final determination. This course is an
ticipated in Judge Tattan's denial Of
the petition. which was entered on the
court records as follows:
"In the above entitled cause the ap-
plication for a writ of injunction hav-
ing been filed, presented and consider
ed in court, is denied, without pre-
judice to the plaintiff making the ap-
plication in a proper case at later
date. In the present case the court is
of the opinion that the facts stated in
the plaintiffs petition do not state
facts sufficient to warrant the issu-
ance of an order to show cause at this
time, and therefore plaintiffs applica-
tion is denied, and plaintiff is allowed
an exception to the ruling Of the

Farmers Can Save Money.

Several farmers in this part of Mon
tana are reducing their cost of living
by using flour made from their own
wheat. The pleasure of eating bread
and pastry made from the product of
their own farms is increased by
knowledge of the fact that they lessen
their expenses by paying to them
selves a margin of profit that would
otherwise go elsewhere.
Since the opening of the Fort Ben.
ton -four MILL number of farmers
have availed themselves of the offer
to exchange wheat for -four instead of
paying the fixed charge for grinding,
and have discovered that the plan
yields better results than selling their
using the proceeds for the purchase of
supplies. The value received in the
form of -four and feed is considerably
in excess of the market price of the
wheat.
The way in which such transac-
tion works out is described by High
wood farmer who came to town last
week with wagon load of wheat
amounting to 40 bushels On the day
of his arrival, wheat was selling in the
local market at 81 cents. giving his
load a value of about $36.4O. The
farmer, however, decided to trade his
grain for -four and feed stuff on the
terms offered by the flour mill, the
transaction giving him these returns:
1,200 pounds of -four with a retail val
lie of $4,000, and 400 pounds of bran
and shorts worth $50. Total returns
$44.70, as compared with cash price
of $36.4O.
The farmer figures that he made
margin of $500 on that wagon load of
wheat, and several of his neighbors
are increasing their returns in sim
liar manner.

Habeas corpus proceedings were
brought in the district court today in
the case of F. E. Anderson, of the
Plymouth Securities company, who is
being held in jail awaiting trial on a
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses. The hearig vans continued
until Saturday, to enable the attorneys
to prepare briefs.
Ole G. Osnes. of Knerville, who owns
one of the largest sheep outfits in this
part of the state, is among the visitors
in town. Mr.. Osnes recently sold to
the Long Investment company an out
fit of about $500 lambs at 1925 per
head, the best price of the season in
this locality. Most of the lambs were
grade Hampshires, and all were in
good condition.
Several local residents had their
first experience of the effect of the
new war revnue tax today in the
charge of one cent that must be paid
on each telegram or long distance tel

had occasion pay the new tax upon
promissory notes, deeds and other
documents, were unable to procure the

KILLED MANY CATTLE
Nine Hundred Head Slaughtered To
Guard Against Disease.

Guard Against Disease.
Montana cattle, valued at nearly
$4,000, have been killed as result
of the foot and mouth disease, accord
ing to DR.. Butler, state veterinary sur
geon, who returned yesterday from
Glendive, where he ordered slaugh-
tered the remainder of the shipment
of 30 cars of stock, which have re-
NAMED in the yards there for three
weeks.
OF this amount, the federal govern
ment reimburses the owners one-half
because of the national quarantine
which was placed over the state sew
eral days ago, making a total loss to
the owners of the herds of about
$4,000, says the Helena Independent.
Eight hundred head of two.year-old
feeders were destroyed by DR.. Buffers
inspectors Tuesday and Wednesday.
cars, which were owned by Johnny
Edwards of Rosebud, but 1O3 of these,
which were first found to have been
infected were killed a week or ten
days ago.
The same precautions were used in
disposing of the last 800 head as were
taken in the first instance. The cattle
were driven into trench, dug out by
Northern Pacific steam shovel, kill
ed, burned with quick-lime and then
covered with Is feet of earth.
DR.. Butler has also ordered slaugh.
tered the Terry herd owned by Ma
lone and Thomas, and consisting OF
POS head, and he presumes this was
done yesterday, although he had re-
ceived no word to that effect last
night few in this herd were killed
two or three days ago.
Every herd that has entered the
state since the foot and mouth disease
first broke out, has been inspected by
DR.. Buffers inspectors during the past
day or two, and not an additiona
trace of the disease has been discov
cred. He believes now that the ma
lady has been stamped out in Mon
tana, and unless it has been carried
to other pens by people who have
come in contact with the disorder
there is little or no danger of fur
ther outbreak.

Commercial Club Notes.

The Great Falls Meat company ad-
vises us that they will try and arrange
to send a man here to buy a car or
possibly two cars of hogs about De-
cember 10th. We have had consider
able correspondence with the company
relative to buying hogs and this is
their reply to a request that they set
date when they would be in a posi-
tion to send a buyer. We have come
to the conclusion that the Great Falls
Meat Co. are not to be depended ON
for some time to afford ready market
for hogs as they have already more
than they can handle, and while we
believe they are willing and anxious
to accommodate the growers of Mon
nearly sufficient to take care of the
vast number of hogs that are now be-
ing raised in this state.
The new packing plant OF the COM
pany at Great Falls will be ready this
month and after that they will no
doubt be able to use more hogs than
they have been doing.
There is another aspect of the ques-
tion that should not be lost sight of.
If the Great Falls Meat company are
to buy the great bulk of the hogs
raised here-as they expect to be able
to dot is only natural that they
should also expect to sell proport-
ionate quantity of their bacon, ham,
lard, etc. in this territory, especially
as they are prepared to meet their
competitors in quality and price.
The merchants here have already
expressed their willingness to cooper
ate in this matter and it is to the in
terest of the consumer here to use
the home product wherever possible
In the meantime it is absolutely
necessary that an immediate outlet
should be had for the hogs in this Sec
tion that are ready for market and the
secretary of the Commercial Club is
now arranging to ship to South st.
Paul some day next week as many
hogs as can be got together. Those
who have hogs ready for market
should notify him at once SO that ar.
rangements may be made for shipping
Arrangements have already been
completed to ship two cars from Lo-
ma and one from Kershaw which will
leave on Thursday, Dec. 3. The Com
mercial Club is anxious to help in this
important matter and the organiZa-
tion is ready to assist the farmers in
finding the best market for their hogs

In accordance with a request from
Mr. r. A. Hazelbaker, of Helena, Mon
tana, a 100 pound sack of soil from
Chouteau county has been sent to
him and will afterwards be forwarded
with similar samples from each of the
counties in the state to the Panama
Pacific Exposition. The soil from this
point was supplied by Mr.. Reuben
Archer, and is good average sample
of what we have in this county.

cember y. +
Mr.. John f. Gwynn and Senator
Stevens were present at the big rally
of farmers recently held in Great

that important meeting and incident
ally furnish some hints on how best to
promote the interests of the local or

covet Rich Territory.
The area and taxable resources of !
Chouteau county will be reduced to !
comparatively small proportions If the
plans for creating several new counties !
in this part of Montana meet with sue
cess. The county division forces of !
some of the promoters are being mob. |
ilized preparatory to campaign that
proposes to make radical changes in |
the map Of this vicinity.
The Pondera county scheme, with
Conrad as the proposed county seat,
has been revived. It proposes bound.
ary lines that include about nine town.
ships in the western part of Chouteau
county and large portion of the east.
ern part of Teton county. The neces.
sary petition has been filed in the Of
flee of the county clerk of>Teion coun-
ty, that being the county from which
the larger portion of territory would
be appropriated, and December 16 has
been set as the day for hearing pro-
tests against the program of the Pom
dera county divisionists.
The activity of the Pondera county
promoters is supposed to be due in
part to the discovery that the Chester
people have begun an aggressive cam
paign for the formation of new coun
ty which has been christened Marias
county in advance of its birth, and
fhich proposes to take in certain parts
of Chouteau county that are included
in the Pondera county scheme. 1t is
understood that the promoters of Ma
rias county covet about 20 townships
in the northwestern part Of Chouteau
county-consisting of township 26.
ranges l to 4; township 27, ranges
to Z; township 2S, ranges l to 9, and
township 20, range 8. This area con-
sists of such big chunk of Chouteau
county territory that one corner of it
I, is less than 1S miles from Fort Benton.
! The proposed county of Marias con-
templates that the western part of Hill
county shall be within it's boundaries,
but no information has been received
regarding this feature of the scheme.
1t is also rumored that county divi-
sion schemes are in process of incu.
baton at Big Sandy and Geraldine, and
may soon hatch out. They are not suf
ficiently advanced to announce the
lines along which the campaign OF
their promoters will be planned, but
large area of Chouteau county will
undoubtedly be included in each new
county that it is proposed to form.
In the meantime. residents of locali
ties affected by any of these new coun
ty propositions should give the matter
careful attention. and decide whether
it is to their best interest to aid in the
support Of new county government
that will necessarily call for additional
expense which must be met at some
time or other by the taxpayers. The
prudent citizen will hesitate to aft,
his signature to new county petition
unless he is prepared to foot the bill.

FARM CAMPAIGN
 COMES TO CLOSE
GOOD MEETINGS HEEL D
RAIN AND BAD ROADS HOW. EVER, BADLY DISARRANGE
 SCHEDULE.

In spite of the disarrangement of the schedule by bad roads and unfav- orable weather, several splendid meet lngs in the profitable farming cam paign were held in this county yester- day. The only route on which a crowd failed to greet the speakers was the one including Vilonia and Beryl, and this was due to a misunderstanding as to the time of arrival At Green brier, Wooster, Holland, Lollie, Prov idence and Cato, good crowds were present and much enthusiasm shown. Besides making the appointments, the speakers also visited the schools along their routes, making short talks to the pupils.
 The campaign in Faulkner county was concluded last night with a meet
 ing at the courthouse Demonstration Agent J. w. Earlier presided and in Irroduced the speakers. "We county agents have been shooting this diver sifcation doctrine at the people for several years," he said, "but our guns have been too light. We have now brought up some of the big Jack johnsons' and will try the effect of them
 The speakers were D. C. Welty, head of the agricultural forces of the Missouri Pacific railway, and J. E. Waggoner of the International liar vester Company extension depart ment. MT Welty commented upon the railroads interest in diversified agri- culture and said the fact that the prosperity of the railroads depended Iupon the prosperity of the people was the reason which his company vas lending every possible aid to the pres ent campaign.
 Mr. Waggoner spoke on the evils of the one-crop system and gave as an illustration an Iowa farm Sixteen years ago, he said, this farm was pro- ducing an average of 12 bushels of corn to the acre. It was divided at that time, and on one portion a sys- tenn of crop rotation and diversiica. ton, together with livestock growing was introduced, while on the other portion the farmer continued to pre- duce corn year after yea. Today di- versiication and the fertilizer obtain ed by raising stock has brought the first section up to a productivity of 30 bushels of corn to the acre, while on the one-crop portion, the production has decreased to seven bushels to the acre. He said that if Arkansas farm CTS would reduce their cotton acreage to one-half the present area, an intel ligent system of diversification and rotation would soon build up the soil to such an extent that half the acre age would produce the same amount of cotton as is being raised today.
 The speakers left last night for Plumerville and Morrilton, and are campaigning in Conway county today
