Governor Opposes Consolidation

Helena, May Ex-Governor Stewart
yesterday issued a statement in which
he strongly opposed consolidation of
the three state educational institutions
the state university, the agricultural
college and the school of mines. The
governor says that in view of the fact
that in all probability the voters of
the state will be called upon to vote
upon the proposed consolidation he
feels it his duty as governor and eX.
officio chairman of the state board of
education, to make a statement. He
urges the people of the state to con-
slider carefully before casting their
ballots.
He first calls attention to the fact
that the final choice of the location Of
the consolidated college is not left to
the citizens of Montana. but to a non
resident commission, and he fears IA
recurrence of the bitter feeling which
was engendered some years ago by the
fight for the permanent location Of
the capital Of Montana. He express
ed the belief that there is a distinct
moral consideration in n discussion
of a change in the present situation,
and finally calls attention to the bur
den he thinks consolidation would i'm
pose upon the taxpayers of the state.

Fort Benton baseball team was played
Sunday at the Old Fort grounds. AS

tune OF ) to 0. However, the game
vas a good one and during the con-
test many exciting situations develop
ed TO the delight of the fans on the
side lines.
The game was called with the visit
ors at bat and Loughlin doing the
slab work for the home bunch. Ec-
kart, Turple and Asal were retired in
quick order and the Benton boys
came to bat with beaming expectation
written on their maps.
BARLEY started the stick work for
Benton, but failed to make connec-
lions and was struck out. Merger
was up next and encountered misfOr-
tune at first. Peterman was issued a
pass and advanced to second. Miller
swatted the pill and Peterman got
his running gears to working on high
speed. ignoring the third station with
the intention of getting home. His
hopes failed to materialize and he
was caught between third and home,
thereby losing the best chance Ben,
ton had of winning.
In the second inning Pep got a
round trip ticket for the visitors and

flesh to considerable extent and in

) box. 1t was accidental, of course. but
could have been avoided had Asal en-
ercised a little care.
In the fifth inning it seemed that
the home pill tossers were going to
bag a few runs. They had Pep in a
tight hole with lddings on third and
BARLEY on second, and nc outs. But
here is where Pep got busy with his
grapevine delivery and Merger met
up with a strikeout. Peterman then
grounded to Pep and was thrown out
at first. Miller was given the same
reccp'; 0 N at first. Thus the Benton
boys lost their last nance Big San
dy scored in the sixth and again in
the seventh.
While running to second, in the
