With partial returns available, the only perceptible change in the results on the acts and amendments of those first given, were lessening of the leads for Act No. 1, and amendments No. 12 and No. IA and a reversal of the lead for Amendment No. 13.

 That Amendment No. 13, the intia- tive and referendum, probably will be defeated. It was running behind the returns received and the vote for it was considerably less than a majority of the total vote cast.
 That Amendment No. 12, the school amendment, probably will carry. While it was not leading proportionately by the same majority as before it was evident that it will receive more votes than those against it and probably more than a majority of the total vote cast.
 While Amendment Mo- IA, the road bond measure, was not leading by as great a majority approximately as on the first returns, it had very heavy lead and probably will be adopted.

Country Districts
Not Represented

Several of the leading newspa-
pers OF the state are advocating q
re-dlstrictlng of Montana into con.
gresSional districts. This surely
should be done. At the Novem-
election both of our representa-
t1ves III congress were elected from
the same city and in the extreme
corner of the state.
AT the same time, it appears to
the Courier that the legislature
should devise new laws so that all
Of the state should be represented
in that body. As it now is only
the county seats which are gener-
ally the largest towns in the coun-
ty are represented, or at least that
IS the case in majority of the
.ounties. Cascade county for in
stance, elects six representatives
to the legislature. Every one
of these state representatives
are residents Of Great Falls. AS a
consequence the greater area Of
the county is without representa-
ton whatsoever, 1t is not fairto
the country communities and the
laws should be righted,
The law as it now stands pro-
vides one representative in, the

$40 Acre Homestead Act
Passed Both House And Senate

It will be pleasing news to many
in this section to hear that the 64(
acre homestead act has now beer
passed in both House and Senate
The bill was first passed by the
House but when it was considered
in the Senate several amendments
were proposed and accepted, and
it was in this amended form that
it passed the Senate.
The bill is now in the hands of a
conference committee and as the
amendments made therein by the
Senate are merely corrections and
Improvements, there is every rea-
son to believe that a prompt agree
ment will be made upon the final
form.
After its final passage and ap-
proval considerable time must
necessarily elapSe before the land
may be filed upon. The Secretary
of the Interior must first designate
the land subject to its provisions
and, rules and regulations must
also be made.
The general provisions govern
ing the designation are that the
land be chiefly valuable for graz
ing and raising of forage crops.
1t is expected that practically all
the remaining public lands in
eastern Montana and in the states
of Wyoming, North and South
Dakota will come within the clas-
of the 640-acre Act.

1they are both still holding The
same offices. To prove that they
were willing to do their part to-
wards getting band started the
boys paid for their own instru-
ments and to meet the expense of
hiring an instructor, buying music
ETC., decided to give entertain
ments, concerts, dances, etc. In
this they have been very fortunate
which proves that our citizens are
more than willing to support a
band. By attending any of the
doings of the band boys they not
only have always had a good time
but were at the same time sup
porting an organization that was
of great benefit to all.
The past two years the band has
engaged the services of C. B.
Stuart, as band leader and it is
needless for us to tell of the won
derful progress made by the boys,
except that the Circle band now
ranks with the best in eastern

We are indeed fortunate to have
an organization of this kind in our

The Circle Band Proves
A Beneficial Organization

In our busy everyday life, in oul
striving to supply the needs O
tomorrow, we are very liable te
forget our next-door neighbol
and what he is doing. We are all
agar to reap the joys of life, but
do we always do our share TO-
wards giving pleasure and recrea-
ton to our neighbors, towards
boosting our home town?
To assist in doing this, is one of
the reasons why the Circle band
boys are, and have been, working
hard to maintain a live band. They
realize that work of this nature is
not only recreation and pleasure
to them, but that IT cultivates their
appreciation and improves their
knowledge of music. They also
realize that this is one of the best
ways to induce local enthusiasm
and bring about good fellowship,
and that its the best kind of al
booster a town can possess. The
CIRCLE band has always taken an
active part in boosting our town,
in promoting the welfare of our
community. 1t has furnished the
music for free evening concerts,
has helped out with music at our
fairs, 4th of July doings
and on many other occasions. It'll
has not only been of great benefit |
to Circle but to the entire com

In the election of county COM
missioners, the laws are just as
unfair as for representation in the
legislature. This should also be
made more equitable for the same
reasons.
1t is not fair. The laws should
be changed and the state re-
districted for congressman, and the
counties should be made into legis-
lative and commissioner districts.
