Saloon license petitions are now
 being circulated for signature. On account of the law no licenses can be granted for a longer time than December 31, 1917 and no liGuor, under a law also passed by the last session of Congress. can be imported into Alaska after the first day of July 1917. Saloon men say they have almost booze enough 10 last them until next year as business has not been excessively brisk. What action the Drys may take in the matter of asking for an election as to the license question is not deh- nitely known, although some time ago a prominent leader of the move ment informed this paper that the drys would apply for an election to test whether the community wants any extension of the license grant ed by the court. In this connection it may be stated that saloon man is authority himself TOT the state ment that no matter how soon the city goes dry he is ready to start up in the soft drink business and to continue to operate his resort as such.

IMPORTANT LAND CASE
IN MUSSELSHELL COUNTY
Against G. W. Thompson to
Determine Title.

Roundup. - Whether a land patent
can be cancelled by procedure in the
civil courts will be tested at the next
term in Musselshell county, when the
case of the Northern Pacific Railway
company against George w. Thomp-
son is heard. Thompson's parents re-
sided on the land to which he holds
patent nearly 80 years ago and have
been in peaceable possession ever
since. The land is located in an odd
numbered section and is claimed by
the railroad as part of it's original con-
gressional grant. An attack on the
title was first made through the land
department and by the commissioner
was decided adversely to the holder
of the patent. An appeal to the sec
rotary of the interior resulted in hav-
ing his right sustained. The railroad
now sues in district court for damages
and possession of the land, asking that
Mr.. Thompson's title from the govern
ment be set aside. The land was not
surveyed when the Thompson's es-
tablished residence on which their ap-
plication for homestead entry was
was based.

months why Hendry did not write,
Carlson received his returned letter,

REGISTRATION IN STATE
SURPRISES ESTIMATES
Incomplete Returns Show That Youth
of Montana Responded to Call in
Overwhelming Numbers.

Billings.-Early reports show that
the war registration in Montana cities
brought out more young men than pre-
vious estimates indicated were elig-
ible. Reports from several cities fol-
low:
Billings Complete returns on
registration except two precincts, show
a total of 1,444. Two arrests were
made.
Livingston - A total of 927 men
registered here, so per cent more than
had been estimated.
Great Falls There were not
enough registration cards in this coun-
ty, but printing offices rushed out ex-
tras giving all a chance to register.
One precinct, estimated to have 1875
eligibles, registered 273. Great Falls
registered 1852
Lewistown-Total registration in
the city of Lewistown amounts to 558
which is about twice the number es-
timated.

MONTANA BUSY RAISING
BOTH MONEY AND CROPS
Treasure State Responds Quickly to
Nations Call, Says Head of Big
Lumber Company.

eapolis.-Montana already has
raised $7,500,000 of it's s9,500,000 Lib
erty Loan allotment, and will raise
the biggest grain crop by far this year,
said Arthur R. Rogers, president of
the Rogers Lumber company, who is
back from the mountain state.
Mr.. Rogers, with Vice President P.
J. Leeman, went west on behalf of the
Liberty Loan campaign in the Ninth
federal reserve district and attended
meetings in Glasgow, Great Falls,
Lewistown, Billings and other towns.
Montana did not realize there is a
war;" Mr.. Rogers said. "The people
were not awake to it. They are in
tensely patriotic and once they were
awakened they responded heartily.
The state will do itself proud in the
Liberty Loan campaign.
Never was there such crop pros
pect. Montana has total grain acre
age 25 per cent larger than last year
and every bit of it is standing in fine
condition. There was never so much
new breaking and never such farm
enlargement on old land.

PENSACOLA OF THE PAST
BY c. r. zEEK,

1--WE know what Pensacola is-here
is picture of what it was few
years ago.-Ed.)
Some time in the fall of 1884 a
wayfarer journeying toward the
Mexic Gulf, sleepingly awaked in his
berth, slowly dressed himself and
proceeded to see Pensacola.
The first view was an old wooded
railroad platform with wide cracks
between the heavy planks, and the
old (then new handsome union sta
ton at the corner of Wright and
Tarragona streets. I've hour was
o'clock a. m. The morning light was
breaking and so was the atmosphere.
A cargo of guano was being unloaded
on the waterfront, but it refused to
be confined, its effluvia hoated out
over the sleeping village and gave
the wayfarer welcome.
Wandering on in the semi darkness
across the 'ballasted" street, the mud
also gave its personal welcome
Across to the sidewalk, a refuge

further west stood the Continental

A start for the city was made, but
where was it? Taking the lead di-
rected by the guano cargo, the way
farer moved toward the south and
found out in the. street a sidewalk,
the lattice slat type, the worse for

was successfully negotiated. "a few
days later a prominent citizen falling
in one of the numerous holes threat
ened the city with an action for dam

marshal with a gang of white prison
ers repaired the old walk, tearing il
down, and piling it in heaps along the
roadway

the solid spaces. The days of low
cost of living for the minnows and
watercress were free.

deeds-at home as well as abroad.

soon be over and that things will slip
back into the old grooves, will just
keep on thinking, and will get left.
The whole world is facing new con-
ditions, IN every line of endeavor.
There are new and imperative wants
on every hand. The old grooves viii
exist only in the minds of old people.
Get busy with your pet ideas. You
will find others reader to work with
you, on something new, than ever be-
fore. Go to it, even if it is only to
make that "better mouse-trap."

opportunities.

ket reached a satisfactory figure

operators have gone ahead by reduc-
ing their accounts and in MANY in
