DUMBA GOING HOME
FOR CONSULTATION

Washington. Sept. 1S.-The Aus
trian government intends to recall
Ambassador Dumba for consultation
according to limitations given to AM
bassador Penfield when he delivered
the note from the United States ask
ing for the return of the ambassador
to Austria.
Such an arrangement, which is in
accord with Dumba's own request for
recall on leave of absence, is satisfac.
tory to the American government. 1t
Is understood, however, that Ambassa-
dor Dumba will not return to the
United States at the termination of
his leave. The purpose of these ar.
engagements, it is understood. is to
cause no interruption In the diplomat
lie relations of the two governments,
the change being looked upon as a per.
sonal affair.
There is every indication from Am
bassador Penfield's dispatches that
the Austrian government received the
American note In friendly spirit and
looked upon 1t as the usual request
OF a government for the recall of an
ambassador on the ground that his
usefulness to his own government
would be impaired by his continued
prsSenos.

that the credit would apply only to
commodity shipments and that NUM-

Neu Laus For
Stray Stock

The last session of the legisla-
ture passed an estray law, some
thing we have managed to get
along without for a long time.
The new law defines an estray
as any horse, mule, cow, steer,
or similar animal over one year
old not bearing a brand and the
ownership of which cannot be
determined by the stock inspec-
tor of the district, or any animal
bearing recorded or unrecord-
ed brand the owner of which
cannot be ascertained or locat-
| ed.
The stock inspector of the
district is authorized to take
such an animal, keep it 80 to go
days in the cheapest and most
practicable manner, d urin G
which time he shall advertise
in the paper in the town doing
the county printing and in a
paper in the town nearest where
estray is held, for four consecu-
tive weeks, when the animal
shall be sold to the highest bid
der at auction for cash.
The advertisement shall give
a general description of t h e
estray, the sex and approximate
age, together with an illustra-
ton of the brand and its posi-
tion on the animal. Statement
must also be made where the
animal was found or taken up.
Prior to sale the owner may
appear at any time, make claim
to his property and obtain ii
without cost or expense. I /
animal is sold, expenses are de.
Quoted and net result goes tc
secretary of the state board ol
commissioners, who advertises
in his annual estray list. The
proceeds may be obtained by
the owner of the animal O r
claim made at any time within
1.-TWO years.

Leedy Asks For
Samples of Grain
Great Northern Official is
Anxious to Get Grass
and Grain Samples

E. G. Leedy, General Immi-
grafton Agent for t h e Great
Northern, wants samples Of
grains, grasses and vegetables
from the Cut Bank section, for
exhibition at number of east
ern state fairs and for a perma-
nent exhibit at the Great North
ern building in St. Paul. He
has signified this desire in a
letter to B. R. McNamer.
Mr.. Leedy has given instruc-
tions for handling the grain in
straw. About so to 100 bundles
of e a C h variety is desired,
about as large as a binder bum
die. This grain should be cut
close to the ground in order to
show it's length and in many
cases it should be dug up with
the roots, which gives it a mark
of genuineness with the home
seekers. Mr.. Leedy is very
anxious to secure samples of
dry-land alfalfa, a portion of
which should have roots on it.
1t should be cured in a dark
room in order to prev t
bleaching.
Frank E. VanDemark, secre-
tary of the local commercial
club, has volunteered to receive
samples of grain from farmers
who desire to aid in advertising
our matchless crops this year.
Bring your samples to him and
he will place your name on the
samples and properly prepare
them for the exhibit.
