UNCLE SAM TO PAY
AGRICULTURAL EXPERT

Montana's representatives to
the national agricultural associ-
alton meeting in Washington
have returned and bring encour-
aging word for future expert
mental work in Montana. The
delegation was composed of Pres
ident ]. M. Hamilton, Director
F. B. Linfeld and Director F. S.
Cooley of the Montana agricul-
tural college.
The matter of the most gen
eral interest at the meeting was
the consideration Of the new pos
sibilities in the way of extension
work under the Smith-Lever
bill; and the preparations for CO.
operative extension work be-
tween the states and the federal
department of agriculture. In
this latter connection Mr.. Lin
field secured the promise of the
federal department to pay the
salary of one more man during
the coming year to study forage
crops in Montana.

union at the time of the miners
riot in Butte, and Joseph Brad
ley, vice president, were found
guilty of kidnapping in the dis
trict court at Boulder, the ver-
dict being rendered last Satur-
day night.
Mcdonald drew a sentence of
three years and Bradley drew
five. Judge w. A. Clark, before
whom they were tried, said that
Bradley, in his opinion, was
the brains of the whole outfit;
that he was convinced that
Mcdonald was influenced by
Bradley"
Joseph Shannon, executive
board member, also on trial, was
acquitted.
The cases of the three mine
workers were combined and were
the outgrowth of the deportation
of miners belonging to the West
ern Federation of Miners who
refused to join the mine workers,
an organization made up of min
ers breaking away from the fold
of the federation.
The deported miners were
given a "trial' by Mcdonald,
who was called liking Muckie,"
on an open lot in Butte, and then
escorted to the city limits of
Butte and told to "beat it and
not come back"

Students Debate.

On Friday last the members of
the Roman high school debated on
the following question:
Resolved: That the workmans'
compensation bill, as voted upon
November 3rd, should have been
passed.
Those on the affirmative were
Harold Resner, Alma Myers and
Melvin Dix, and on the negative
were Marie Myers, Myrtle Rice
and Loretta Haney. Each side
Of the question was we'll and ad-
mirably handled and at the end
OF the arguments the judges de-
cided in favor of the affirmative.
The members of the debating
teams, and the teachers, wish to
express their appreciation to the
judges who gave their time to
help the students in their endeav-
ors. The judges We're Miss Titus,
Miss Kain and Mr.. Sutherland.
Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced in securing judges,
many being asked but refusing
on the grounds of too much work
to do.

Senator Myers arrived that
day and Immediately commenced
urging the Indian bureau to
recommend an appropriation of
$4,000 for irrigation works on
the Flathead, to be included in
the forthcoming Indian appro-

RETURNS ARE ALL IN
ON STATE MEASURES

Complete returns from the 80
counties of Montana are now in
on the various measures and
amendments which were voted
upon at the election November 3,
one of the amazing features of
which is the immense vote by
which they repudiated the plan
to consolidate the three state
educational institutions.
Consolidation lost by the larg-
est vote of any of the measures,
the returns showing that there
was a majority against it of
l6, ,26l. The majority is con-
sidered amazing in view Of the
strenuous campaign put up dur
ing the two weeks Immediately
preceding election, by the ad-
vocates of consolidation, who
were quite confident up to cleo
ton night.
Exactly 30,OS9 voters register
ed their approval of the consoli-
dation plan, while 1850 were
opposed to it.
Equal suffrage carried by a
majority of 3, 745; the Kiley box
ing referendum measure lost by
7,756; compensation lost by 1850;
the farm loan bill carried by 1G, s.
217, while the state tax levy
went into the scrap heap by a
majority Of IA, 4,447. There are
yet missing the vote Of two
counties on the tax levy.
The following shows the COM
plete vote on the measures and
amendments:

|VER NJ. bRANOJORD ENTER.
7A|Ns GENTLEMEN FRIENDS

liver NJ. Brandjord, ably assist
ed by Mrs. Brandjord, gave a
''stag' party Tuesday night at
which two dozen Of his Roman
friend enjoyed one of the most
pleasant evenings during their
residence in Roman. Mr.. Brand
jord has always enjoyed an envi-
able reputation as a royal enter
tainer and on this occasion main
tanned and even added to that
reputation.
The guests assembled at about
eight thirty and when the roll
was called the following gentle
men were present to answer:
Messrs. Sterling, Hollingsworth,
Brewer, Skinner, Sheen, J. A.
Lemire, Larson, E. H. Rathbone,
Foster, Delaney, Swee, Brough-
ton, Riddle, Mason, Stansbury,
Ross Lemire, Farnham, O'Neil,
White, Frye, Potvin, Egan, Nc
Connell and Jensen.
Six tables were in readiness
and it was not long until the
guests were conducting a war
equal in fierceness and strategy
to that now raging in Europe,
each battling for supremacy. So
10, whist, etc., was indulged in
until an hour appropriate for such
an occasion, and some of the
games might still be in operation
had not Mrs. Brandjord announc-
ed that the hour and minute for
refreshments had arrived, and
assisted by Mrs. j. D. Larson and
Mrs. John P. Swee, the host and
hostess served most delicious
lunch.
After a good smoke for those
so addicted, and a social hour, the
guests departed feeling the bet
ter for having lived at all and es-
pecially better for having lived
in the same town at the same
time with so good a neighbor and
friend.

HORSE BUYER IS
BACK TO PRISON


F. Mefford is apparently in
trouble over a horse buying cpl
sode in the country west of Ro-
nan last week. 1t appears that
about three weeks ago he met a
party of Butte autoists in Mis-
soula who were on their way to
the Flathead. A deal was made
whereby he was to ride with
them and they came as far as
Post creek. Here they stopped
at a ranch and Mefford made ar
rangements to have a boy in the
party drive him on a trip to see
a ranch he claimed to own, leav-
ing the balance of the party at
Post creek, Mefford agreeing to
pay their board bills and also
auto hire. He and the auto
driver were gone about two
weeks and while on the trip
Mefford met a party who fell for
his story and agreed to furnish
81, 800 with which to buy horses,
the money to be deposited in a
Plains bank.
Mefford proceeded to buy
horses in the country around
Sloan and west of Roman, pay
ing with checks. In the mean
time he had visited Plains and
hired another auto and driver
and the two auto drivers and
Metford were making headquar-
ters at Sloan. They succeeded
in running a board and store
bill at that place, besides buying
many horses.
Along the latter part of last
week some Of the parties selling
horses to Mefford came to Roman
to cash their checks and on call
ing up the Plains bank they
We're informed that no funds
were on hand tomeet the checks.
Mefford was confronted with the
conditions, but insisted that it
was all right, that the money
would be forthcoming. Deputy
Sheriff Engle took him in charge
and held him here one whole
day. TO square things up, the
two auto drivers gave Mefford
bill of sale of their cars and he
in turn gave a bill of sale to
local party. Mefford was turned
loose and went to Missoula to
see what was the matter with
the party who had agreed to fur
nish the money, the said finan-
cial party having gone there to
secure the funds.
Arriving in Missou]a, he found
that his financial backer was un-
able to get the money, and an
attorney who had charge of the
legal business and money of the
party who was to provide, had
Mefford taken in charge on a
complaint of trying to obtain
money under false pretenses.
Sheriff Kelley now has Mefford
in charge and it is reported that
when he was taken in custody
parole card from some state pen
itentiary was found on his per-
son.
The automobile owners and
those who trusted Mefford for
board, etc., appear to be the
losers. Just how they will come
out is still a question. Mefford
will undoubtedly have to stand
trial on the charge preferred
against him. Those who sold
horses to him will probably be
out nothing except some expense
money, having never turned over
the horses.
Later developments in Mis-
soula have brought out the fact
that Mefford was none other
than Frank Murphy, a paroled
convict who was sent there to
serve a term for shooting man
in eastern Montana. He had

FIGHT IS ON FOR
HOUSE SPEAKER
-,

house of the legislature in the
hands of the democrats, and the
senate SO divided among the
various parties that it is ques-
tion which party will organize it,
interest in the general assembly
is centering in the selection of
speaker Of the house, and the
numerous clerks and other Of
ficials which will serve during
the 1915 session.
The speakership fight prom
ises to be an interesting feature
of the coming session, three cam
didates, C. F. Morris of Hill
county, DR.. A. D. Mcdonald of
Flathead county and Geo. L.
Ramsey, recently elected a men,
ber of the Lewis and Clark coun-
ty delegation, having announced
their candidacy.
Helena friends of DR.. McDon-
aid received letters that he was
an avowed candidate for the
speakership. DR.. Mcdonald is
one of the prominent leaders of
the democratic party, is we'll ac-
quainted with legislative pro-
cedure and was speaker Of the
last house of ofrepresentatives. It
is claimed by his friends that he
will pull considerable strength
from western Montana, as we'll
as from other sections Of the
state.
Mr.. Ramsey, it is understood,
has sent out letters to every rep
resentatiye- elect in Montana,
and his candidacy is meeting
with strong favor. He has a
wide knowledge of the state and
his experience in business affairs
will stand him we'll in hand in
performing the duties imposed
upon the house speaker. Mr.. |
Ramsey formerly was represent
atiye from Gallatin county, hav-
ing served in 1897.
Mr.. Morris is also a power in
the democratic party in North
eS@ Montana, and has always
taken a prominent part in the
politics Of Hill county and Havre,
which is his home town. He is
vice president of the Security
bank of that city, is we'll ac-
quainted with the needs of Mon
tana, and it is claimed by his
friends, will make a capable and
competent speaker.
Charles z. Pond, who has been
chief clerk of the lower house
for many years, and who has
transacted the exacting duties
imposed upon him with ability,
is again being put forward by
his friends for that place, and
old time democrats are insisting
upon his reelection.
G. G. Watt of Sanders county
has been in Helena the past few
days in the interest Of his can
didacy as sergeant-at~arms of
the lower house. Mr.. Watt
served as secretary of the SEN
ate during the last session of the
legislature, and is receiving
strong support for the position
to which he now aspires. He
formerly was senator from
Broadwater county.
The position of secretary of
the senate will go to a republican
in case the members of that
party are able to marshal the
necessary votes to organize the
upper house. Nate Godfrey is
an avoWed candidate for the
place and will undoubtedly be
chosen in case the G. O. P. can
form the necessary combination.
Returns from every county in
the state show that the repub-
licans will have II members in
the senate for certain. The

BILLINGS STORY
Of RAILROAD WORK

vi Iun1IIOuD UOIul
1t is not unusual at this time
Of the year to hear of much rail-
road construction, and the pres
ent is no exception. For some
time past talk Of extensive rail-
road construction in Montana has
been going the rounds, and in
railroad circles the past 80 days
have been productive. Since
the announcement that the Mil
waukee had let the contract for
the electrifcation of it's line over
the mountains in Montana, con-
siderable activity has been no.
ticed in Northern Pacific circles,
and the Billings Tribune has the
following to say of proposed con-
struction by that company:
Several proposed railroad ex-
tensions Of Importance to Mon
tana and one of particular inter-
est in this section, are shown in
detail on a new Northern Pacific
map just issued, which accom-
panies President Hannaford's S
annual report to stockholders of
that system. Copies were re-
ceived here today.
THE fact that General Man
ager Rapelje, on a recent visit
to Billings on a tour of inspec-
ton, indicated that the Montana
extensions would be built as soon
as the Northern Pacific can OBJ
tain money to execute it's con-
struction plans makes the outlook
bright. The starting Of work is
contingent upon the securing of
an increase in freight rates, and
it is believed by the railroad men
that the interstate commerce
commission will now grant a
rate increase to the
western railroads.
The proposed extensions by
the Northern Pacific are three
distinct lines, including the Flat
head extension, the Helena cut
off and the Lake Basin extern
sion.
THE map shows that the Flat
head extension is to be built
northeast and then northwest,
starting from Dixon on the main
line and terminating at Poison,
at the southern end Of F'lathead
lake. 1t will open up 250,O0O
acres of rich farming country.
The map indicates that the
Lake Basin line will be built from
the Northern Pacific main line at
Great Northern junction to Hes
per, and thence northwest
through Busted to Gibson. 1t
may be 80 miles long or more,
and will open up a vast territory
Of agricultural and livestock re-
sources tributary to Billings.
''The Helena cutoff is to be
built directly west of Helena,
going north of Diamond City,
through Fort Morgan and across
Smith river, through Buffalo,
then south to FlatwilloW, across
The Musselshell river, over the
leadwaters of Little Porcupine
creek, through Satchwell, south
II Mountain Sheep bluffs, then
south of Morris and into Glen
live, completing the main line
chain. The building Of the line
will obviate the necessity Of 60
ng south in a roundabout way.
Another important extension
S to be built from Terry on the
main line through Baker, Mon
ANA, and Yarmouth to Mott, the
present terminus of the exten-
sion now built westward from
Cannon Ball, N. D. A line will
also be built south from Beach,
u. D., to Baker, Mont, accord
ng to the map"
