SideIights on Growing Montana

EDITOR CENSOR: We enjoyed very
fine winter here, experiencing only two
or three severely cold snaps of only a
few days duration. Our crops last year
we're hardly All average yield, but ow-
ing to the unusual amount of moisture
during the winter we are looking for
ward to a better year. Pennsylvania
oil we'll drillers with 1886, 900 worth of
machinery, are boring for oil about Is
miles from where we are located. They
claim prospects for oil are excellent.
Land at present is selling for $50 per
acre. Government land is all taken up
around here. We are surrounded by
mountains on three sides, north, west
and south, the nearest being about IS
miles distant. We are at present Is
miles from railroad but the Northern
Pacific is building a new road from
Billings, having purchased the right of
way as far as Gibson, which will insure
US railroad within at least 10 miles.
We greatly miss the many modern
pleasures and pastimes of good old YER
non, especially the churches and their
associations, the Roman Catholic being
almost the only church here. We find
the people here much the same as in
other localities. There are still few
sheep and cattle ranches but the days
of the open range are about over. The
settlers are trying hard to pass a bill
through the Legislature prohibiting the
running Of large herds. Wild game is
very plentiful but fishing is poor except
in the large mountain streams. Tim
Der is very scarce but coal is plentiful.
All it costs is the price of digging it.
Wishing al the CENSOR family success,
we are, Sincerely,
Mr.. AND MRS. CARL ALDEN.
Gibson, Montana.

Quality and Service

Quality and Service" that's the
slogan Henry Bros. have adopted for
their new grocery, and judging by the
freshly papered and painted interior,
neat arrangement Of cases and shelves,
and the purchase Of a Ford delivery
car, they are certainly entitled to use
it. They invite your patronage. conf
dent that they can ples sc and satisfy
you.

vIRooUA MOUNTED SCOUTS
Do You Want a Taste of Military
Life in the Saddle?

Wanted: Able bodied young men
living in Viroqua and immediate vicin-
ity to enlist in the detachment of mount
ed scouts now being organized. Each
recruit will be expected to furnish his
own horse for drilling purposes and
during the week of the encampment at
Camp Douglas in July. A reasonable
amount will be paid for such use. Uni
forms, arms and all other equipment
will be furnished by the government.
AT the time of the revision of the In
fantry Drill Regulations in 1911, a de-
tachment of mounted scouts was made
an integral part of each regiment of
infantry. The National Guard of this
state has not heretofore fully complied
with this change. Compliance is now
made condition of receiving aid from
the national government.
As the name implies the primary
function of the detachment is to serve
as scouts in operations in the field. In
the performance of his duty the scout
is frequently confronted with situations
requiring the summoning of all his in
factor this alone will be worth any
young mans time. The fundamental
principles of infantry, cavalry and sig
nal corps drill, besides training in to-
biographical sketching, will be acquired.
Instructions and drills will be held
during "spare time. For further in
formation inquire of the undersigned.
Those desiring TO join are requested to
file their applications at once.

|NNES-NELMS CASE
TAKES PLACE ON THE
COURT CALENDAR

ATLANTA, Ca Occt. Another
celebrated court case in Georgia Will
soon take its place on the calendar.
This is the famous Innes-Nelms mys-
terry. Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey,
the prosecuting official in the noted
Leo Frank case, will figure in the big
mystery case, which involves the baf-
fling disappearance more than a year
ago the two sisters, Eloise helms Deu-
mis- and Beatrice helms.
No case, perhaps, in the court al
nails of Georgia, except the Frank case
has attracted as much attention. The
two sisters have disappeared as COM
pletely from the face of the earth as
if the ground had opened and swallow
ed them. Whether they were murder Il
or not is question that sleuths the
country over have never peen able to
decide.
Vicaor Inness, lawyer of Portland
Oregon, with whom one of the sisters
had business relations and appears to
have received large sums of money il
F., handling property transactions, Is
under charges in connection with the
case. Both he and his wife were in
dicted in Atlanta for larceny after
trust 1t is charged that Mrs. Dennis
one of the missing sisters, turned over
to them practically her entire fortune
for supposed investments in western
and Mexican lands, which investments
never materialized.
The Illnesses are now fighting
through habeas corpus proceedings, TO
prevent extradition to Georgia on the
charges of larceny after trust. They
appealed to the United States supreme
court after the Texas courts refused
to grant the writ and release the pair.
Solicitor General Dorsey will leave
this week for Washington to appear
before the high court He will seek to
have the case advanced on the calendar
/ for an immediate hearing. The out
come will determine whether the Ia
nesses will be brought to Atlanta. 1t

CAbARETS FAIL IN
ATLANTA IS POINT

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. 4.-Why has
the cabaret been complete failure in
Atlanta while it has succeeded in other
cities, is the question that is being
asked in connection with the return of
fall and the opening of the amusement
season.
Whether the genus homo can better
enjoy planked steak, while poetic
eyed Venus MARBLES songs of love, is
question which the Atlanta public ap-
parently answered in the negative.
Several times the cabaret idea has
been tried here, but it has never be IN
a go. Is Atlanta too provincial, or
are the other cities off their nut?
