to reply to critics who assert that too
much money is being expended in

Fl. BENTON GRABS TWO GAMES
Takes First From Hiehwood IS to S;
Second From Smejter 16 70 II

That Fort Benton has a winning
baseball aggregation was proven Sat-
urday when they cleaned up High
wood and treated the Great Falls
B. & NJ. Smelter team to the same
kind of breakfast food on Sunday.
The game at Highwood opened
with Benton in possession of the big
stick and to make things interesting
for the spectators Oder knocked a
foul ball right through the wind
shield of his own automobile, which
was standing on the sideline. His
little daughter was in the back seat
and aside from being frightened she
was uninjured by the broken glass.
Oder failed to find the ball and was
struck out. Connors was up next and
reached first. Miller, Peterman and
BARLEY followed suit, Connors and
Miller scoring OF Bartley's hit. John.
son went to first and through a SER
les of errors and wild throws Peter.
man and BARLEY each pounded the
home pan. A Lynch scored for High.
wood in the first.
In h second inning Oder and Con.
nors scored for Benton, while High.
wood went hungry.
In the third Maloney's bunch
climbed on the merry-go-round and
chased each other around the dia-
mond in quick succession until they
had bagged seven scores. In the
meantime Highwood changed pitch
ers but the onslaught could not be
checked. The boys just pounded that
pill to death in this fateful stage of
the proceedings. The batting streak
lasted until the fourth, when Day
scored the last II for Benton.
Highwood gathered n in the sew.
enth and three in the ninth, making
them a total of five.
Z Russell Williams was the slab ar
fist on Benton's side and did a good
job, registering up II strikeouts. Roy
Hunsberger was stationed at second
and covered his field almost like a
, veteran. Williams and Hunsberger
are both promising youngsters.
! The Benton boys have been prac.
ticing stick work since the game with
Big Sandy and they showed consid.
cradle Improvement.

Farmers Form Organization

There was a good attendance of
Chouteau county farmers at a meet.
ing held in the court room Saturday
afternoon, at which the matter of
forming an organization of farmers in
this part of Montana was discussed.
The meeting was called by A. D.
Stillman, president of the Flathead
county division of the Farmers Co.
operative Federation, who described
some of the advantages that result
from working together.
Addresses were made by A. D.
Stiflman, of Pleasant Valley, and
Matt W. Anderson, of Helena, who ex-
planned that the federation proposed
mutual benefit for the farmers in buy.
ing and selling produce, and would
also be of service in securing COOP
Grafton in political matters. Several
county residents took part In the dis.
cussion, and urged that a division of
the federation be organized here.
A temporary organization was eff.
fected with Henry Griesbach. of Te-
ton, as president; and T. Yokum. of
Iona. as secretary. A committee on
bylaws was chosen, consisting of G..
c. Grant. John Z. Gwynn and VIM.
Matthews, who will report at the next
meeting. 1t was decided that the
work of the organization shall be CIV
en- publicity from time to time.
The next melting of the organiza-
ton will be held Saturday, June 20,
at 1880 p. M, in the court room, all
ChOuteau county farmers being invit-
ed to attend.

FORT BENTON-SMELTER-True
to ancient history and tradition, the
game Sunday at the Old Fort grounds
was ragged and choppy when Benton
met the Smelter boys. However,
there was plenty of snap and excite
ment to muse the fans and get them
highly elated at seeing the home boys
smelt the Shelters.
The game opened at two O'Clock
with smoke boys swinging the club.
1t was a case of hit and run and their
first working. Peterman got a round
trip ticket for Benton.
The second inning was a little
round nothing for both sides. The
third was the same for Benton while
the smelters garnered two O
Fort Benton started the fireworks
in the fourth and they pulled down
three runs, following suit the next
round with two and breaking loose in
the sixth for a total of seven. Will
liams batted for Day in the sixth, and
got to first on being hit with pitched
ball. Miller waltzed up to the pan
and beaned the pill for a home run
Merger doing the sprint stunt for
him. Here is where the fans went
wild, and their war dance and music
coupled with that home run took the
heart out of the Smelter boys. They
couldn't o before seven of the
locals had rounded the horn. All of
this was in revenge for the four that
the Shelters piled up in the sixth.

down. The result was a pair-one for
each. To salt it down, Benton made
two more in the eighth, as the result
of the surprise party that Chic Houck
pulled off with a three Dagger. Meth.
er side scored in the ninth.

Local Grain Quotations

Conrad Observer: Once nor the
proposed new county of Pondera has
fallen by the wayside. The board of
county commissioners met in Cho.
teal on Tuesday to consider the Pc
titiOn for the creation of Pondera
county and they were confronted with
four withdrawal petitions from the
country around Brady and Collins.
There was nothing left for the coun.
ty commissioners but to reject the
proposition. which they did. There
was a large delegation from this city
in attendance at the meeting.

Lewistown, June 1.-The showing
made by the local land Office for the
month of May was quite up to expec.
tations, the total number of filings
received during the period being L.
1873, averaging about 46 for each work
ing day. This unprecedented total
was due, of course, to the rush during
the middle of the month when a
large area north of Lewistown was
opened to entry under the 32O-acre
homestead law. Another rush is en-
pected to begin on June IS, when four
townships will be opened for filing.
