OCTOBER 7 IS The LAST
DAY OF REGISTRATION

Along about the 7th day of Novem-
ber, and probably about the 9Th day of
October, there are going to be lot of
voters on the Flathead who will realize
that they are not eligible to cast vote
at the election to be held on the said
7th day of November, 1916. The reason
they will not be eligible will be that
they failed to register as required by
law. From present indications there
will be a large number so situated, as
many can be counted now who are not
registered. After today there will be
just II days more to present yourself
to some notary public or registry agent
and sign the blank prepared which will
permit you to cast your ballots.
The election this year should be of
such Importance as to prompt every
man and woman in Montana to register
and vote. 1t is presidential election,
full state and county ticket is to be
elected and there are some questions
submitted to the voters of the state
by the legislature which should receive
the sanction or disapproval of ma
jority of the people of the state, not
merely majority of those who go and
vote. The question of prohibition
should not be decided by so few of the
voters; it should receive the approva
or disapproval of majority of ALL
the voters. Then there is the question
of exempting certain church property
from taxation. Very little has beer
said in the newspapers about this mat
ter and it looks very much as if it wa
to be allowed to go by default so far al
public discussion is concerned. 1t is
important. however, and should not b'
passed over lightly.
The women of the Flathead shoul(
register and vote this year above al
others. 1t is the first chance they hav'
had to vote for president or for stat
and county officers. They are inter
ested in the prohibition question AM

votes of their male friends gave them
1t is the highest duty of every citize1
to vote. and all should do so.
Too often there is much complain
about the way public affairs are con
Quoted and most generally it will b
found upon investigation that the loud
est croaker is the man who does no
vote. No one who neglects to go t
polls on election day should complai
afterwards. The stay-at-homes Nigh
have changed the situation and the en-
tire program had they exercised tn

OFFICIAL FIGURE ON NOM.
MATING PRIMARY ELECTION

All the counties have finally sent Of
fetal returns to the secretary of state
at Helena and the same have been can
vassed. The returns show that more
interest centered in the gubernatorial
fight than in the senatorship, 5000
more votes being cast for gubernatorial
aspirants than for senatorial aspirants.
For senator 50, ,875 votes were cast
and for governor 80, l3l. The Repub-
lican majority on the vote for governor
was over 5000, indicating that if the
full registered vote of 100000 had
turned out at the primary polls, the
republican majority would have been
close to 10000 The totals as shown

bLACKMA|LERS
IN FEDERAL NET

Chicago, Sept. 19.-While federal
authorities here prepared to arraign
for preliminary hearing seven men,
bers of an alleged blackmail gang who
weapon, detectives, fortified with in
formation obtained from two alleged
members of the gang who confessed,
made arrests in other cities and
spread a dragnet for II. G. Woodward,
sought as director-in- chief of the syn
dicate
Not to Bare Victims.
Hinton G. Clabaugh of the United
States department of justice declared
he had obtained sufficient evidence to
convict the gang without exposing the
names of any of their wealthy men
whose tlirtations with pretty women
led them into traps from which they
escaped only on payment of large
sums, will be shielded from publicity,
except as a last resort, it is said.
The evidence obtained in two cases
already generally known, authorities
said, together with mass of incrimi-
mating evidence found in the raid on
the apartment where the seven were
arrested will be presented to fed
eral commissioner. Clabaugh expects
the seven will be ordered removed to
Philadelphia for trial.
Two More Arrested.
Developments in the case reported
to Clabaugh included the arrest at
New York of Frank Croker, alleged
former member of the bang, who is
said to have confessed to part in the
swindling OF Mrs. Regina Klipper of
Philadelphia, and the arrest at Phila-
delphia of William Butler, held there
in connection with an alleged black
mail plot against the late Mrs. Susan
G. S. Winpenny.
The alleged fleeing of Mrs. Kip
per, authorities charged, was brought
about through Crocker, who, it is said,
won her confidence. A compromising
situation was brought about, 1t is al
legged, and Donohue and Irwin as wit
nesses, demanded blackmail.
How Gang Was Caught.
A detailed statement as to the direct
cause of the apprehension of the gang
was made by an official of the de-
partment of justice. He said that
Crockers confession to obtain immuni-
ty for petty offense of larceny was
the opening wedge in the wall of Sc
crecy the alleged blackmailers had
maintained about themselves.
Crocker, the official said, was ar
rested early in the spring for theft OF
diamond ring from New York so
ciety woman at Tampa, Fla, and
realizing that the confession of a
blackmail plot would overshadow a
larceny offense, told his story.
This confession was obtained in
March or April, but it was not until
the Republican national convention
here in June that the first member OF
the "syndicate' was arrested.

in the spring and the heavy stubbles
instead of being detriment, are of
material value to the crop. This land
should be plowed from eight to II
inches deep, or rather depth of plowlng
should be regulated by previous plow-
ing, and not more than three inches of
new soil should be brought to surface,
as too much raw, new soil is detrimen-
tai to any crop.
Timothy and clover lands should be
handled very much in the same way.
Discing before plowing is very neces-
sary, as by cutting up the meadow,
especially on heavy soils, the aftermath
gets we'll incorporated wife soil, and
decomposing sets in quickly in the
spring, and much benefit to the beet
crop is the result, while if no discing
or cutting of surface is done and this
sod is turned into solid burrows, it takes
two years before beneficial results are
obtained from this grass sod as fer
tilizer.
Alfalfa lands should be plowed as
soon as the last cutting of hay is re-
moved. First plowing or crowning
should be done as shallow as possible,
say from two to four inches in depth,
then we'll narrowed to separate all
earth from crowns and allowed tC
stand until just before winter sets in,
when it should be plowed the seconc
time as deeply as possible, thus bury
ing the crowns to a depth that they
will not interfere with cultivation OF
beets, and also getting better value
from them as fertilizer.
If your time is limited, by all means
