Would Abolish Game Wardens

Helena, July 13.-There will be one
candidate for the legislature at the
democratic primaries in Helena, who,
if finally elected promises to make
life interesting for the game wardens.
The candidate is Felix Ingram, an
old.time Helena democrat, who today
filed his nominating petition. In it
he says:
If nominated and elected l will use
my best and honest endeavor to en-.
act and repeal laws for the best in
terest of the whole people of the state.
No corporation or faction will control

Prizes for Dry Land Products

The dry land farmers of Montana
were given recognition by the Mon.
tana state fair at the recent meeting
OF the fair board when a sum of ST.
OOO was authorized as premiums to be
awarded in the non.irrigated division
for dry land farmers. After many re.
quests from farmers, exhibitors and
judges, the fair directors decided last
winter to eliminate the non.irrigated
division and put both types of irrigat-
ed n dry land products or the same
basis, but SO many requests have been
made recently in behalf of the nom
irrigated division that it was deemed
advisable to re-establish 1t.
The prizes will be awarded in Is
lots for grains and seeds, vegetables,
root crops, forage crops, and sheaf ex.
hibits. Inasmuch as these awards are
not listed in the premium catalogue
which has been sent out over the
state, a circular specifying the separ.
ate prizes is being mailed to every
farmer in the state who received a
catalogue. While the awards as out
lined in the 1914 catalogue amounted
to the same as last year, the addition
Of $1,000 will increase the awards this
year above those of any previous fair,
Although the entries last year increas
ed 36k per cent over 1912, it is esti
mated that, with the revival of the
dry land division, this years entries
will far exceed those of 1913.

TOP Notch Farmers Club

Bozeman, July 13.-Montana leads
all the other states of the Union in
the number of farmers entitled to
membership and now listed as men,
bers of the National Top Notch Farm
ers' club. This distinction is earned
for the state by a hurried report, by
A. j. Walrath of Bozeman, of some
seventy Gallatin valley farmers whose
certified yields of oats and wheat N.
titled them to membership.
The National Top Notch Farmers
club, headquarters Springfield, ILL.,, is
an organization headed by some of
the most famous agriculturjsts in the
United States. Any farmer who pre-
sents evidence of a crop of 100 or
more bushels of corn to the acre, 100
or more Of oats, so or more bushels
of wheat, 400 or more bushels of po-
tatoes, or six or more tons Of alfalfa,
is eligible to membership in this
club. It's standing is evidenced by the
members of the executive committee
E. D. Funk, A. p. Sandles. P. G. Hol-
den,J. X. Diskirson and Charles F.
Mills, all men of national fame. But
up to this spring Montana had no
standing with this club.

of the game the B%entonites had to
Quit to catch the train home.
The Benton players got away to a
bad start right from the jump. Hard

form and eight infield errors were
made during the game. The feature
of the game was Wilford's home run
in the fifth inning. There was a sur.
plus of rag chewing on the part of
M Asal, who played backstop when
he wasn't playing chin music.
The Big Sandy umpire had a SER

made rank decisions for both sides.
The score:
Big Sandy 22O 3 0 %
Fort Benton 900 2 0 %
A large number of Fort Benton fans
attended the game and gave vOcifer-
Gus and heroic support to the home
team. Their efforts, however, failed
to stem the tide of adversely which
overlook the Benton players at var
ious stages of the game.

GUILTY OF HONESTY.
(Blue Mountain Eagle }

(Blue Mountain Eagle.)
Governor West has been the pub
lie recipient of scathing denunciation
through the press. When the lance
of justice lays bare this criticism a
revelation comes to light. He is not
accused of being ambitious or of trail
ing his official robes in the mire of
polluted politics. 1t is not said that
there is taint of graft in his po-
litical career or that he is not hon
est. or sincere. He is neither a fool
nor crook but he should be de-
spised because he has tried to en-
force the law. Strange accusations
1t must be because he is too honest
and active. He remembers to well
his oath of office. He is too decent

law of gravity rather than by man
power.
There may be some serious objec
tions to the idea of handling grain in
bulk. But the thing sounds practical
and sensible. The wonder is that the
plan has not been taken up before.
The sack method has probably been
continued in use because of the ex-
igencies of the export trade. But
surely with the completion of the Pa
mama canal and with the rough trip
around Cape Horn no longer to con-
tend with the ships may be fitted up
to handle bulk grain.
At least those who are bringing
this subject to the front are doing fine
work The man who can eliminate
needless expense in any line Of busi-
ness is a benefactor of the human
race.

At Copperfield there was a stu
ton calling for new methods" Th'
mayor, Stewart, was saloonman, Hi
partner in the saloon business, War
ner, was a member of the council; th'
saloon swamper was also council
man. Another councilman, Wiegand
also ran a saloon and his bartender
was a councilman. That placed th'
town government completely in th'
! hands of two saloonkeepers two bar
tenders and one swamper. Copper
field was wide open. Boys IA years
OF age could get booze on Sundays ol
week days and they could gamble il
the saloons. Incendiary fires wer'
started. murder was threatened ant
decent people complained they were
subject to insults and dangers.
Governor West first tried to correc
this situation through the civil au
thorities. They laughed at him. tn,

stale excuse he had no evidence
