clared the years OF greatest prosper-

side
The elements of prosperity are at
hand" said Mr.. Farrell. THE steel
trade has been called the barometer
OF business; there is marked in
crease in orders and operations: more
men are obtaining employment and
the trade movement is progressing
and encouraging, and we should do
everything practicable to sustain and
advance it."
MIR. Farrell said that a, few weeks

has turned and each day records a

NOTICE..

U. s. Land Office, Glasgow, Mon
tana, November 18th, 1915.
To whom it may concern:-Not1ce
is hereby given that the State of
Montana, acting under the provis-
ions of an Act of Congress, approved
February 2Sth, 1891, has made ap-
plication for the selections of the
following lands, to-wit:
SEA, Sec. 80, T. 33 ~, r. 20 E.,
M. NJ, and lots l and 2, NEANWA
and NkNEA, Sec. 10, T. 80 NJ, R.

A copy of the list of said lands
has been cOnspicuously posted in
this office for inspection by any per-
son interested and the public in gen.
eral. Under departmental regula
lions of April 25th, 1907, protests
or contests against the claim of the
State to said land, or any subdivis-
ion thereof on the ground that the
same is more valuable for mineral
than for agricultural purposes will
be received and noted for report to
the General Land Office at Washing
ton, D. G. Failure to protest against
the claim of the State to said land
before final approval will be con-
sidered sufficient evidence of its non
mineral character and the selections
being otherwise free rom objec-
lions will be recommended for ap-
proval.

NOTICE TO ALIENS.

There are in Phillips county a
large number of aliens who drove
across country from Canada and did
not come through Port of entry.
and were not examined by an officer
of the immigration Department.
This examination consists of a
mental and a physical examination,
and satisfactory evidence that the
county charge.
In case the alien entered the Unit
ed States prior to 1913 the husband
or head of the family only need be
examined, but all those who entered
since 1912 the entire family, includ-
ing wife and children must take the
examination.
Unless this examination is had an
alien cannot acquire full citizenship
nor make final proof on Government
land
The nearest Port of Entry to this
locality is Havre, Mont, and the
cost of a journey to that city for
the purpose of taking the examina-
ton and securing a certificate Of
entry is about $1,000.
To accommodate those who must
take this examination and to save
them the cost of a trip to Havre we
have arranged for the Immigrant
Inspector to be in Malta December
18th, 1915.
And we urge upon all who did
not cross the line from Canada at a
Port of Entry to take advantage of
this date. and in case you arrived in
the United States since 1912, bring
the whole family.
G. M. PORTER,
Clerk of the District Court.

ANOTHER FOOL STUNT.

Henry Ford's business acumen
has made of him a national figure,
has given him name to be envled
lin commercial circles in this cOun-
try.
And Just as he is reaching the
Zenith of his career a fool stunt is
likely to transform him into an OBJ
iect of ridicule throughout the
world.
Mr.. Fords much advertised peace
party mission to Europe is with the
;avowed intention of sending wire
less messages to the soldiers in the
trenches, demanding that they lay
down their arms and go home on a
strike against their officers-in
other words, to desert the flags they
follow.
If it were not that such a demand
would likely involve this country in
trouble with some foreign govern
ment the whole proceeding would
be so ridiculous as to be funny.
The mission was foredOomed to
be fizzles from the beginning, and
for the sanest and simplest reasons
i'm the world.
1t would be impossible for Ford
or any*Other man to send wireless
message to the troops in the trench
es, for the simple reason that there
are no wireless stations in the
trenches to receive such message.
No commander of troops would
permit such a message to reach his
men if a dozen stations were avail
able.
The men who are fighting the
causes of their respective countries
are not the traitors or fools Mr..
Ford takes them to b. They believe
in the cause for which they are con-
|tending, and the wild vaporings OF
bunch of notoriety seeking Ameri-
cans will elicit from them nothing
but the utmost contempt.
Mr.. Ford may be big frog in De-
troit, but he will find from sad ex-
perience that he is a mighty little
tadpole in the European puddle.
The wisest thing he can do is to
go back to Detroit, and stay there,
and forget himself
The isycophantic small fry who
are trailing along in the shadow
of his millions do not count at all.

UP FOR CONTEMPT.

Judge Bourquin in the federal
court heard the contempt charges
against the Helena Independent and
Will A. Campbell, it's editor. The
defendants acknowledged all of the
charges with regard to the publica-
ton OF an article concerning the Ca
reer OF one Poe, who was on trial
before Judge Bourquin while the
court was sitting in Helena, but de-
MED that there was intent to inter-
fere with the administration of JUS
tice.
The answer to the charges stated
that the information that Poe had
beeen convicted of an offense in
North Dakota, the publication of
which caused Judge Bourquin to
discharge the jury trying the man
and to institute contempt proceed
ings, was given to a reporter late at
night by e. A. Jockey of Williston,
N. D., who said he had prosecuted
the man. Attorney G. B. Nolan of
Helena acknowledged that there
may have been technical contempt
but declared the intention to COM
nit an offense against the court or
justice was absent.
The court declared that the fact
of publication of an article which
might affect the judgment of jurors
constituted ontempt. He directed
the attorneys to file briefs and stat
ed that he would take the whole
matter under consideration.
The above is taken from the Great
Falls Leader, and refers to the Poe
who was in Jail here for some time
and who was in Jail here for some
time and who was up in the Federal
Court at Helena and the case con-
tinued on account of statements
made by the Independent. Several
from this point were witnesses and
will be called later.
