64O-ACRE BILL MAY PASS.

Of the three so-called conservative
bills before congress, the one "to pro-
vide for stock-raising homesteads'
appears quite likely to become law
at this session. This measure passed
the house in the last session of con-
gress and would have passed the SEN
ate but for the objections of west
ern senators.
The pending bill provides that any
qualified homestead entryman may
make a stock-raising homestead entry
for $40 acres of unsurveyed unap-
propriated public lands in reasonably
compact form.
Patent to the entry will be obtained
by compliance with the homestead

BASKETBALL GAMES.

The Glasgow city team will play
the high school team on Saturday
night, January 22. It is necessary to
play these games with the city team
in order to secure money enough to

derstand that they play mighty good
basketball, SO the game will be in
teresting.
On Saturday evening, January %,
the Chinook high school team will
meet the local high school team. Chi

JONES FOR SHERIFF.

Marvin Jones is another one of
Phillips county popular men who has
tossed his hat into the political ring
and will make the race for the nomi-
nation of sheriff on the republican
ticket. Marvin is one of the best
known men in the county and has
numerous friends who are glad to
see him get in the game. He would
make an excellent official if elected

laws except that instead of cultiva-
tion, the entryman shall be required
to make permanent improvements
upon the land to the extent of $1.25
an acre. The bill provides that lands
non-contiguous to prior entry may
be entered if within ten miles of the
original entry, but this provision is
opposed by the interior department
and probably will be eliminated.
The secretary of the interior in re-
porting the bill, says:
Settlement is now pushing west to
different character of land-lands
fully as rich and richer for agricul-
ture, but producing naturally much
scantier pasturage-and it requires
a larger acreage for that purpose to
support sufficient stock to make the
settler prosperous home, and set
tlement is slower. If the law per-
mitting homestead on $40 acres is
passed, it will tend to build up that
section of the country most adapted
to grazing and the land will be put
to its best possible use."

BEET FACTORY
MAY BE BUILT
Local Boosters Encouraged by
COmpany's Announcement.
WILL TRY NEW SYSTEM
Farmers in Great Falls District to
Sow 1000 Acres This Year-If
Successful Will Build Factory

The prospects of northern Montana
securing sugar beet factory were
given a decided boost by the an
nouncement this week by the Great
Western Sugar company that the
epection of a factory is being con-
sidered in the vicinity of Great Falls.
This step on the part of one of the
largest beet sugar concerns in the
United States shows that they are
keenly watching the development of
this part of the state, and the erec-
tion of factory at Great Falls will
not hinder the selection of a place
in the Milk River valley to build an
other factory. It proves conclusive
ly that the companies are satisfied
that northern Montana sugar beets
can be successfully grown and used
in the manufacture of beet sugar.
The plans of the company at pres
ent are that they expect to open Of
fices in Great Falls within the next
60 days and one of the special repre-
sentatives of the agricultural depart
ment Of the company will be sent
there to take charge Of the planting,
cultivation and harvesting of 1000
acres of sugar beets.
The beets will be manufactured
into sugar at the Billings plant of the
company and the farmers who grow
them will be given exactly the same
price for their beets as the farmers
of the Billings country, freight to the
factory being borne by the Great
Western company.
There are contingencies, as is al
ways the case in anything that must
be in the future. For example, there
is the matter Of the tariff on sugar,
which, if it gets no worse, will not
hinder the development. The ques-
ton of climate has also been con-
sidered, but since beets are grown sue
cessfully in Canada, that point is
overcome. The only reason that is
entitled to serious consideration is the
element of uncertainty in getting the
seed for planting, and that is seri-
Gus menace to the proposition. There
is reasonable ground, however, to be-
lcve that this will be overcome, for
the Great Western is spending thou
sands of dollars to overcome the trou-
BILE with considerable assurance of
success.
The plans Of the company are that
1000 acres will be planted this year
to determine the location of factory.
After having decided upon the loca-
ton, site will be purchased and a
factory built capable of handling from
600 to 700 tons of beets daily, and it
might be as high as 300 tons, but not
larger.
In the cultivation of the 1000 acres
the company wants it to be fall
plowed land and that the farmers are
to follow instructions as to planting,
cultivation and harvesting of the
beets.

NEAR SHOOTING AT HARLEM.

NEAR SHOOTING AT HARLEM.
If it had not been for the cool head
edness of Marshal Mike Buckley Sat-
urday night, tragedy might have
hef.n enacted at the Maverick saloon,
when Frank Michinez, an enraged
Italian, entered the place with a shot
gun, both barrels cooked and his
finger on the trigger, ready to clean
out the place. Buckley had just got
ten out of the barber's chair in the
next room when the Italian entered.
end while everyone else had either
made their exit or barricaded them
selves behind boxes or counters, he
walked up to Michinez and demanded
the gun. Michinez pointed the gun
right at Buckley's stomach and
threatened to shoot him if he inter-
fered, but Buckley showed no fear
and when he got close enough to get
hold of the end of the barrel, Michi-
nez gave up the gun. This occurred
about seven o'clock in the evening
Michinez had been about the saloon
for some time and had gotten into
an alteration with several parties
in which some one slapped Michinez
and then, it is stated, they stretched
him out on the floor and searched
him for knife, fearing he might
use it. None was found, and when
Michinez was let go, he swore ven.
geance and said he would get a gun
and clean out the whole bunch. lie
kept his word and it was not long be-
fore he returned with the shot gun
which he had gone home for.
Upon surrendering the gun, Mar
shall Buckley conducted Michinez to
his home near the Catholic church
and let him go on his own recogni-
zance on the promise that he would
stay home until Monday. On Mon.
day morning Buckley went for him
but he had flown the coop. It. was
learned that he left town on No. 4
the same night. The officers are or

soon.

COMMERCIAL
CLUB MEETS
New Directors Take Up Tasks
and Act on Several Matters.
ACTIVE WORK COMMENCED
Club to Help'i Securing Athletic Club,
VOLUNTEER Fire Department
Beet CaMpaign to be Pushed.

The new Board OF directors OF the
Glasgow Commercial club met for the
first time Friday tight since their ap-
pointment by President J. w. Wedum.
The matter Of boys athletic club
was brought up by Rev. B. F. Mere
dith and Rev. "A: U. Baer and COM
mittee was appointed to act. with
them to ascertain the extent of the
expense that will be incurred and
the possibilities of being able to Sc
cure building. This committee will
submit it's report at the next meet
ing.
The matter of a produce exchange
was brought up and. the secretary
of the club was instructed to write
to the Farmers Society of Equity to
arrange for a meeting to be held by
the farmers and business men, with a
view of organizing a produce ex-
change here for the disposal of all
the farmers produce and discuss the
formation of such an organization.
The business men realize that the
farmers must have a market for their
products and want to assist the farm
er in getting the very best price and
quick disposal of everything that he
grows. Exchanges or markets of this
nature have been established in other
cities and have proven very satisfac-
tory and the Commercial club hopes
to be able to put one in operation
here.
The establishment of a permanent
organized volunteer fire department
was brought up and w. w. Hurd was
made the chairman of the committee
to take this up with view of get
ting volunteer fire department in
operation as early as possible. The
club believes that with properly
organized volunteer fire department
here in Glasgow, a better insurance
rate can be secured from the board
Of fire underwriters; also equipment
for salvaging at fires. This would
consist of tarpaulin sheets for cover
ing merchandise, hooks and ladders
and other paraphenalia.
The club will continue it's activity
in regard to securing beet factory
and will have large number of farm
ers in the valley growing sugar beets
this year. Later on they will prob
ably take up movement to ship in
good, high-class dairy stock to be
placed in the hands of farmers who
have the feed and facilities for op-
Grating a dairy farm.

TRADE BOARD ATTACKS
D. c. MONEY BILL Rider
Protests Against Abolition of Half
and-Half Fiscal Plan-Report
Is Drawn Up.

The special committee of the Board of
Trade on immediate fiscal legislation for
the District yesterday sent to each mem
Der of the House and Senate a protest
against the repeal or alteration of the
District bill reported on Thursday by the
House Appropriations Committee.
The report, which will be submitted to
the board at a general meeting on May
Is, petitions for the repeal of the law
of 1909 restricting the Commissioners
estimates to twice the amount of the
estimated revenues, and for legislation
which shall cause any surplus of Dis
trict revenue arising from the enforce
ment of the half-and-half plan to be
held in the Treasury as a trust fund for
the benefit of the District
1t protests against the repeal Of the
half-and-half law, and especially against
its repeal by a rider on an appropriation
bill, or in such form as to be retroac-
tive, or by any method which does not
secure for the proposed legislation
thorough preliminary consideration by
the District committees and by Congress,
and which does not substitute for the
repealed law one establishing a definite
policy OF regular and liberal appropria-
iOns by Congress.
1t further protests against an appro-
priation for the present year Of less than
twice the Districts estimated revenues,
unless the resulting surplus of District
tax money is declared to be held in trust
In the Treasury for the benefit Of the
District to meet its future needs

CAUSE AND EFFECT

The Louisville Courier-Journal
gives a summary of the Lynch.
lngs In the United States for
1916. 1t shows that for the first
SIX months of this year there
were twenty five lynchings. OF
these twenty-three were negroes
and two were whites. Referring
to this statement Mr.. Watterson
Says:
That almost one-third of the
lynchings in America in the
first half of 1916 occurred in
Georgia, where the lynching of
FRANK was permitted through
negligence or connivance, and
popularity endorsed in 1915, is
not surprise. 1t is an illus
traton of cause and effect"
1t is sad commentary upon
those conditions in Georgia that
newspapers and politicians, with
rare exceptions, have not con-
demned the lynching of a State
prisoner who was serving a life
sentence in the penitentiary.
The tacit approval of this lynch
ihg mas encouraged outlawry in
Georgia. In one instance an au-
tomoblle in which there were
white men was fired upon and
the outlaws exclaimed we have
got lynch law now in Georgia."
Verify the leavcn of lynching
may leaven whole State. The
Georgia legislature has turned
down an anti.lynching bill.
