BAD AUTO ACCIDENT.

Monday morning about three
miles south of town AL. Shaw had
the misfortune to turn his auto over
with five occupants. They were COM
ing in from the Larb hills With
Alex Doney, who is charged with
Eorse stealing when the accident oc-
Cured. The machine was coming
down a hill at fair rate Of speed
when it hit a sand pocket in the
road causing the radius rod to bend
and turn the car over. John Sur
want, one of the passengers i'll the
rear seat, was hurt quite badly, suf
lering a boken collar bone and
some internal injuries, and has
since been confined to his room.
Marvin Jones another occupant OF
the rear seat, was caught under the
car and was badly shaken up, but no
bones broken. Sheriff Shaw is wear
ing black eye as the result OF the
mixup and the prisoner, Doney, was
some shaken. Jim Mccoy, the
stock inspector for this section of
the country, was the only one of
the passengers who entirely es-
capped injury.
The accident is one that might
have easily laid some of the party
up for repairs for long time, and
tney were exceedingly fortunate in
getting off as easily as they did, but
ii is a sure thing they will not want
TO repeat the dose for a long time.

IMPROVING YARDS.

one OF the sure signs of spring in
Malta is the sight of the household
er at work in his yard improving
bis lawn and caring for the trees
that have become d regular environ
ment of his home. The past week
has been busy one for the land
scape amateurs and gardeners and
already their reward is beginning to
appear in the neat appearance of
grassy tracts and we'll ordered
plots.
The Yards are turning to an em-
eTald hue and many Of them are
greatly improved by the removal OF
fences which have fallen into TN
popularity. That it is change
for the better cannot be denied,
when the lawn is carried clear to
the sidewalk instead of being sep
arated by barrier that becomes d
rubbish trap within short time.
I he season is still a little bit early
for the planting of trees. Arbor
day is later in this country than in
the east where it originated and was
set for the middle of April. BY the
latter part OF May, though, it is
will be planted as this variety has
proved suitable for the local climate
The removal OF fences puts duty
or the public to avoid handicapping
the lawn maker, particularly the
man who has improved corner lot.
1t seems just as natural for man
TO slash off the angles of his trip as
TO indulge in the illusion of hope,
but the pedestrian who yields to the
former impulse plays havoc with
the hopes of the lawn builder. That
is one of the reasons why fences
have been the rule here, but where
the owner has confidence in the CO
operation of his neighbors to give
them the benefit OF Il Well-kept
greensward he ought not to be dis
ilusoned a little thoughtfuness
in this respect will help lot, while
tEOu2htlessn ess soon accumulates
evidence OF vandalism.
A movement that promises TO be
a factor in still more attention to
Yards and gardens is the contest an

lartmcm OF the Woman's club

Old Fort Assinnihoine which fur

early settlers during frontier days
in Northern Montana, will. in future
resound to the noise OF the forge,
the plowshare will rip up the soil
where the parade ground once echo

will he established there an institu-
ton for teaching scientific farming

The fort which did such splendid
service during frontier days, was
abandoned two or three years ago.
1t is one OF the oldest forts in the
nted States, and in its last days,
chartered a regiment or calvary
II is IL big plant, consisting Of some
thing like $50 brick buildings, and
a splendid strip Of farm land Whlch
can be utilized to advantage for an
agricultural experiment station.
The movement to turn the fort to
use as a manual training school ana
am institution for the teaching OIL
scientific farming, started two years
ago
During the 1913 session of the
Montana legislature there was pend
ing in congress a bill providing thao,
il the state should agree to estab-
lish an agricultural, manual tram
mig or other educational or phb!lc
institution at the fort, the president
would then be authorized to grant
the land and buildings to the state
upon payment Of $50 per acre.
The buildings themselves cost
more than a million dollars and lhe
legislature realizing the value to the
state of the establishment OF such a
school in northern Montana, appro-

month. when, shortly after the ad-

NEW COMMERCIAL CLUB.

At the solicitation of several old
members of the Commercial club
the citizens and business men met at
the Great Northern hotel Monday
night to consider the advisabilty OF
getting the club in working order
again and seeing what could be ac-
complshed for Malta and surround
ing country. That the old CONNER
cial Club is thoroughly dead is a
settled fact and it would be too bad
to disturb the carcass Let it sleep
on and ii anything is done get new
one from end to end The city in
the past has felt the benefits of a
commercial club and there is a great
/ deal of work for one to do il handled
right, and there is no end to the
good that might be accomplished.
1T is not a one man job to run q
| commercial club and get results.
Everyone must work together for
the betterment of the community
and always have a boost ready in
81 cad OF knock.
Mr.. S. c. Moore, secretary OF the
Commercial Club at Glasgow, was
in attendance at the request Of some
of our citizens, and gave a very in
| teresting talk on what a club could
and would do if properly handled
and advised that thorough and
wide-a wake secretary be secured
from outside the town of Malta and
cne that could handle the situation
J. A. Tressler was the toastmaster
for the occasion and gave very
interesting talk. followed by several
others on various subjects. AS was
brought out at the meeting Malta
has as bright a future as any town
| in the state. All it takes is little
money and time to put it before the
people 1t was thought that a sum
something like $4,000 a year would
be necessary to give the club man
that waas capable OF handling the
work and capital to work on A
committee was appointed to solicit
membership with a fee OF one
dollar month and no limit to
the memberships that might be
held by any one member. Some
! thing like one hundred member
ships secured. There will be anotll
er meeting Saturday night at the Il
w. Brockway's office, at which time
some definite action will be taken
as those in charge OF the soliciting

are wrong and Vermont alone right.
There is no disposition on our part
to criticise the diligeTence or integrity
OF the present legislature when asking a
limitation on the cost of our state leg
islature. But the state needs limita-
ton to assist in restraining the proposal
OF useless legislation. Up to the town
meeting recess there had been practical
ly 500 bills introduced in this legisla-
ture-a better record than many of
its predecessors could show. AT the same
time there has been an unusually large
percentage of necessary and important
legislation proposed. But who would
dare assert that one fourth Of the legis-
lation proposed at this session is de-
sirablei The established record of the
legislature is a great proportion OF use
less and undesirable bills. If there was
a limitation on the compensation Of the
members we believe il would tend TO de-
crease the presentation and .considera-
alton of such measures. Further we be-
lieve it would be tendency TO increase
the proportion Of experienced lawmakers
in the legislature. Experienced men can
turn off much more legislative product
in a limited time than the fellow tax
ing his turn"
The present legislature will be handi-
capped in one way in fixing limita-
ton. IL has had so much important
and unusual legislative work 20 act upon
this session that it might be inclined

legislature. However we feel it would
be doing a popular and good thing for
the state TO fix limit on the cost Of
our biennial sessions of the legislature.

sentiment against legalized saloons in

a great many voters in all parts OF the
state who are firm in their convictions

they believe in a certain measure Of

firmly that the constant stirring up OF

ence of moral obligation which the an

The returns from the municipal cleo
ton in Rutland give an interesting man
Hesitation of the working of the public
mind as regards various projects which
affect the individual or collective pocket
book. For instance, the vote of the city
was against bonding for schoolhouse re-
pairs and against bonding for an armory
site, while it was very strongly in favor
of STATE highway aid. Then the vote
shifted to the negative on propositions
to exempt from taxation for a period Of
years the foundry OF the Howe Scale
Works and another proposed hotel; and
Immediately it sweryed to an over
whelming sentiment in favor Of band
appropriations and, to lesser degree,
for an appropriation for the annual car
niyal. Low ebb of public interest was
reached on the proposition for medical
inspection in the public schools, the
affirmative winning in q total vote
scarcely one-h half of that cast on other
questions; but the flow of votes again
approached the maximum when the cleo
torate decided almost two to one in ia
vor Of the removal Of "bleach" from
the city water and four to one against
taxing abutters for street improvements.
The people come into their might and
right about once each year; and there
generally is great deal Of action on
an such occasions, like that al Rutland
on Tuesday
