Opposed to Alien Owenershjp.

Billings, Nov. 15.-The Montana
Farmers and Producers association,
in annual session here, last night
adopted, after heated debate, a reso-
luton, introduced by delegates from
the Huntley government irrigation
project, that the association appeal to
the legislative assembly of Montana to
pass law at it's coming session for
bidding the purchase or holding of
real estate by aliens in Montana, and
that said law be similar to the famous
Webb anti-alien law of California.
The action followed charges that
many Japanese are drifting into the
sugar beet district and leasing land
for the purpose of raising beets.
The association deferred decision
as to the minimum price of beets for
which it proposes to hold out next
tri-state convention Of beet raisers in
Denver on Dec. ).
The demands of the beet growers
will include minimum of $3.50 per
ton for beets on delivery at dumps
and an additional percentage on the
net profits of the company for the
season of 1915. Under a contract of
this kind, according to the growers,
it would be possible to produce $12,-
100000 worth of sugar in the terri
tory tributary to Billings and, by
SLIDING the beets, the factory could be
kept in operation five or six months
instead of three.

May Quarantine Montana.

Helena, Nov. 15.-Montana is to be
placed under federal quarantine as a
result of the discovery Of foot-and.
mouth disease among a herd Of cattle
at Terry. Mont. State Veterinarian
Butler was advised to this effect to-
day by A. D. Melvin, chief of the fed
eral bureau of animal industry in
Washington. 1t is understood the EN-.
barge will not affect fat cattle ready
for market, but only feeders.
So far as has been discovered by
state and federal veterinary surgeons.
the only cases of the foot and mouth
disease found in this state were in
the three carloads of cattle from Chi.
cago which were quarantined at Glen
dive. The cattle were killed and their
bodies buried in quicklime. The work
OF disinfecting the stOckyards of the
state has progressed and DR.. Butler
state veterinarian, announced that
the work will be finished in a week
All the stock cars in the state have
also been disinfected. Livestock in dis
the state through yards that have been
disinfected.
Belgrade, Nov. 15.-The farm OF
John Benepe, within short distance
of this town, is under quarantine, re
sulting from the fear that herd of cat
tie Benepe shipped from the east late
ly has the foot and mouth disease
Several Of the beasts died lately, ant
this aroused suspicion. However, 10
cal veterinarians deny that the di
sease exists on the ranch, saying the
deaths were from green clover fet
too freely after dry feed.

Ill response 10 Lne urgent request OF
Governor Stewart, an organization
was formed at meeting in the court
room Saturday evening, for the pur-
pose of assisting in the relief of suf-
fering caused by the war in Europe.
The matter was presented in a COM
munication received by Mayor Strana-
han from Governor Stewart, in which
it was stated that an appeal is made
to all Montana citizens to help in this
charitable work. The governors let
ter was accompanied by a statement
from the National Red Cross society,
giving brief description of the pa
thetic plight of Belgians and other
victims OF the war, and requesting that
every endeavor be made to relieve the
distress and suffering that aff1icts so
many of our fellow men.
, In the discussion that followed, the
plan OF assistance that appeared to
meet with favor was contribution in
the form of carload of Fort Benton
! flour, and it was decided to adopt that
plan if possible. On motion, Mayor
Stranahan appointed Grant Sharp, R.
c. Giddings and w. X. Harber as a
committee to canvass the town for sub
scriptions for this worthy cause, and
to make report to the. Commercial

alton of all residents of this part of
Montana in the good work, and will

that way. Acknowledgment of each

of the past few days:
BoHeman, Nov. 1.-THE starving
Belgians are to receive from Gallatin
county 1900 sacks of flour, carload,
and the flour will be started for Eu-

ment having been started for citizens
to contribute the -four which the mills
are selling at cost for this purpose.
Billings, Nov. 15.--On Thanksgiving
eve carload of foodstuffs will leave
this city bound for Seattle, Wash. to
be placed aboard the Belgian relief
ship sailing from that port and carry
ing the northwest's donation for the

sent out.

Sidewalk CleaningOrdinanCe

In order to set the public straight On the
matter and at the same time put stop If
possible to lot of useless end senseless
'scussiDg' of and at the city ordinance which
provides for the prompt cleaning of all side
walks IF SNOW, Sleet, ice, dirt Or filth, beg
to quote that part of this ordinance which ap-
plies to safety regulations.
"That all persons owning or occupying
property within the city limits, in front OF
which granolithic or brick sidewalks have
been laid, be, and they are hereby required
to clean and remove from said sidewalks all
clay. Dirt filth. snow, sleet or ice within
TWELVE HOURS after same has fallen there
on, etc.
''The violation of any provision of this or
dnance is hereby declared a misdemeanor,
and the offender, either owner or occupant OF
said premises, shall pay fine of 81 90 for
each offense, and each day shall constitute a
separate offense.
This ordinance was enacted for the purpose
of giving full and ample protection to the cit
zens of High Point and for the purpose OF
protecting the city, and incidentally the tax
pavers, from damage suits which might, and
as has been the case in other towns, be
| brought against the municipality on account
of personal injuries sustained by reason OF
snow and ice not being promptly removed IN
thorough and complete manner from pave
ments. =
If the city with desire to render quick
and partial aid to the school children ano
other pedestrians, SHOULD see fit to operate
some drags in order to quickly clear fe"
paths for temporary use, this will not in the
slightest degree relieve any owner or tenan
from his responsibility in the matter.
+ Instead of heaping abuse on the admins
+ration and the police department for dolns
its plain duty in providing protection to tn
| nublic, how much better it would make on'
| feel if he could have the Open-handed ant
lhearty-co-operation | of all our people in mat
! ters so vitality important to the good govern
/ ment of the city.
! This ordinance will be more closely watch
| ed and more rigidly enforced in the futnr
/ than it has been heretofore.

That's Where You Make
Mistake.
by W H. Dugdale. }

tBy W H. Dugdale)
Some peopls are dreadfuily clever.
lney make such bluff and look wise.
iney give you tip on the quiet,
And their motive they cannot disguise. =
AS matter Of fact you accept it,
But it makes YOU the more wide awake.
And if they imagine you take it all in.
Why, that's where they make mistake.
Don't imagine the sun will stop shining
Should you happen to pass from this sphere:
The moon and the stars in their season
At the old stand will always appear.
Don't think you're so awful important, s
Or that very much difference twill make;
DON'T consider yourself the main spoke in
the wheel,
Or that's where you'll make mistake
The city gives some men license
And also makes laws they should mind:
AS long as they stay by the limit
They will never be punished or finee; -
But sometimes they risk taking chances
And the laws of the city will break.
JUICE Peacock will fine them $40 and costs,
Then you know you have made mistake
Don't imagine man has no knowledge,
Because he don't tell all he knows:
OOll tIlIlk mat a man mas no money
Because he don't wear stylish clothes;
Don't imagine man is banker
Because such pretentions he'll make.
And should suppose he aas mouey to burn,
Why that's where you make mistake.
You can't use political prestige
To act as a lever for gain;
DON'T think that you won't be detected,
If you try to board moving trains,
You are laboring under decisions
If any such boast you should make,
And should you imagine You are an immune
You certainly make mistake.
And last but not least | will mention,
/ 1t is best to be honest and fair;
Treat men with respect and discretion,
In your dealings be honest and SQUARE.
Abide by the laws you are under,
What difference to you can lit make;
You will get the respect and esteem of good
men,
/ If you do you can't make mistake.
