fused to place a candidate against
him. His election expense was just
81, the cost of a trip from his ranch
near Lambert to Glendive, the coun-
ty seat, when he went to get his GER
tificate of nomination.
Senator McCone had lived a life of
adventure. He came into the west
as a rider of the pony express, and
finally drifted into Montana where
he went into the stock raising bust
ness. He foresaw the coming of the
homesteader, and bought seven Sec
tions of long grass land on which to
pasture his cattle. He paid 81 an
acre for it, and half of it has devel-
oped into good farming land.
If one were asked what city in
Montana influenced the most legisla-
ton the answer would naturally be
Butte, because of Silver Bow coun-
tvs large delegation. And the an
swer would be wrong. Wilsall, a
town of 1000 souls, up the Shields
river valley from Livingston, is en-
titled to the palm in this respect.
Wilsall gets her supremacy in the
matter of law making through Sen
ator" Dan Yancey of the third house.
Senator" Yancey is not a member
of the legislature, and his title is a
courtesy title only, like that of the
average Kentucky colonel. He makes
many laws, because he drafts many
of the bills which he draws up for
members IMMERSED in Blackstone,
and which afterwards become laws.
He has attended every session of the
legislature for the past eight years
and the statutes are full of his ear
marks.
Under the present arrangement
the two representatives in congress
are elected from the state at large,
and this has resulted in a peculiar

ular examinations and the knowl-
edge that all complaints would be
carefully investigated would result
in the elimination of most of the
abuses charged against the grain
trade and would be welcomed by the
better class of those engaged in it.
Federal Supervision.
Federal supervision of grain grad
ing is now a reality so far as the
grading of corn is concerned and will
be adopted for all kinds of grain be-
fore the 1917 crop is ready to move.
The object of this is to standardize
the grading of grain throughout the
country, whereas at present almost
every state or terminal market has a
system of its own. Another good re-
suit will be the feeling of confidence
that will be inspired and the knowl-
edge that grading will be perfectly
fair and impartial. Montana will OF
course adopt the federal grades as
soon as promulgated by the secretary
of agriculture.

That the farmer and the dweller in
the small town may come into his
own in the matter of library facilities
without imposing an undue burden
upon the city taxpayer. a determined
effort is being made at Helena by
a committee of the state library as
ISOLATION, headed by Miss Gertrude
Buckhous, librarian of the Univer-
sity of Montana at Missoula, to OBJ
tain the authorization of a state IL
brary commission. Attention is drawn
to the fact that 35 states already
have formed commissions with the
general purpose of developing and
maintaining statewide library sys-
TENS to make free books accessible
to all.
One of the most important func-
lions of a state library association
would be the investigation of the IL
brary needs of isolated districts
through what is known as a library
visitor" an office that probably
would be assumed at the start by the
secretary of the commission.
County Libraries Advisable.
There are many rural districts that
would gladly undertake the burden
of maintaining libraries If they only
knew how to go about it. In other
places the county could be persuaded
to share the expense of maintaining
the library at the county seat that it
might also function al a county H.
brary, sending books to repositories
at farming centers or directly to ru-
raj subscribers. At present some of
the city libraries do work of this
kind without receiving a cent of mon
ey from taxpayers outside the city
although the appropriation by the
municipality itself is lamentably low.
The public library at Billings, for
instance, is sending books to cities
throughout eastern Montana and
even into Wyoming.
"These books belong to the citi-
zens of Billings" Miss Elizabeth Abb
bolt, librarian at Billings, said re-
Gently, land are being used and worn
out by citizens of two states. With
the creation of a state commission,
the machinery would be supplied for
looking after the wants of these out
side people. The commission would
be of great assistance to small towns
establishing Libraries and would en-
able them to get the right kind of a
start"

situation. Congressman Evans and
Congresswoman-elect Rankin are
both residents of Missoula. A bill
has been introduced in the senate
providing for the creation of two
congressional districts. Senator Lane,
OF Fergus county, is it's author.
The counties proposed for the first
district include the following:
Lincoln, Sanders, Mineral. Missou-
la, Ravalli, Beaverhead, Madison, Sill
yer Bow, Jefferson, Deer Lodge.
Granite. Powell, Flathead, Gallatin,
Lewis and Clark, and Broadwater.
Counties in the second congress

Meagher, Musselshell, Rosebud, Gus

The senate has appointed a COM
mittee to investigate the assessed
valuation of mines, power compan-
les, railroad improvements, tele-

panies, and banks. Legislation at
fecting the taxes paid by these con-
Germs is proposed, and the purpose of
the resolution is to provide the sem
ate with information in this regard.
A bill has been introduced in the
house which provides a tax of tx
per cent of the net profits of all min
ing companies.
The house is going to do a little
investigating itself. 1t proposes to
ascertain the extent OF the taxable
property of all corporations, of any
character whatever, doing business

especially instructed to inquire into

tions. The committee is given 40
days to report. Nothing was said

TELLS THE STORY
OF GRAIN GROWTH
THERE WE'RE $50 ELEVATORS
IN STATE YEAR AGO; NOW
THERE ARE 8O2.
Equity Leads the Cooperative Com
panies in Elevators; Flour Mills
Increase 81 Per Cent in Single
Year; Grain Storage Capacity Is
10,165,OOO Bushels.

Figures compiled by the chief
grain inspector for the biennial re-
port of the state grain inspection
department to the governor show a
large increase in the number of grain
elevators and flour mills in the state,
and, although the grain crop of 1916
fell considerably short of the pre-
vious years crop. the increase in the
number of elevators and mills was
far greater in 1916 than in 1915.

how much we may twist the knotted
tail of the British lion. and no mat
ter how much the middle class press
OF Great Britain may rail at our
"commercialism," and say very un-
kind things of us, between the great
minds which control both countries
there has been in existence for years
the most perfect understanding ever
arrived at between world controlling
governments. And because of these
understandings there is an unwritten
law which is to the effect that no
man of Irish blood may become Sec
rotary of state. This is no reflection
on the 1rishman, but rather a tribute
to his fighting prowess. Even in
times of peace, doves do not nest in

When Senator Walsh is appointed
to the supreme bench, he will, by re-
s%ignation, hang up his senatorial
toga in the gubernatorial closet of
Governor Samuel V. Stewart. AL
ready it's special hook is being bur-
nished up for the hanging. Govern
or Stewart will have the naming of
the next United States senator from
Montana, a privilege that does not
often come to the individual.
Whom will he appoint? Helena
gossip is that two men stand out
prominently as possibilities, Former
Governor Edwin Norris of Great
Falls, and J.. Bruce Kremer of
Butte. Both have had wide expert
ence in political affairs of import
ance and both are we'll qualified for
the place. Governor Norris served
B~eaverhead county two terms as
state senator, in which capacity he
was president pro tenn of the senate
and on several occasions was acting
governor. He was elected lieutenant
governor, and became governor of
the state when Governor Toole re-
signed. In the contest following this
incident he was elected governor. He
has many friends all over the state
and is considered one of the strong
men of his party.
Bruce Kremer is probably the
most prominent Montanan in nation
al democratic affairs. He has served
two terms as national committee
man, and just prior to the converting
of the st. Louis convention became
secretary of the national committee,
in which capacity he stage managed
the recent convention with a degree
of ability that attracted the atten-
ton of national leaders OF the party
to him. He was offered the nation
al secretaryship for the campaign.
but declined the place. He was fin
ally prevailed upon to manage the
campaign in the western states, with
headquarters in Chicago. The west,
normally republican, went strongly
Wilson,, and there are many who be-
lieve that the ability of this Montan-
an had much to do with this result.
Mr.. Kremer is an orator of power
and has been a factor in the party for
years.
Perhaps deep in the minds of these
young Montanans, down in the safety
vaults of their ambitions, is the sug-
gestion of a thought that, after all,
younger mentalities might expedite
the business of the greatest judicial
tribunal on earth. Who knows?
The most popular legislator in his
own constituency is Senator George
McCone of Dawson. He has served
his people, in the senate and house

remain on the bench, as he had a
right to do. He is about to retire.
The people of Montana are inter-
ested only specifically in the plans
of this ancient and deserving jurist.
At the same time his retirement may
have it's consequences here, particu-
larly with the political destinies of
several prominent Montanans.
In the inner councils of the party
it is known that Senator T. j. Walsh
has won a high place in the esteem
of President Wilson, and preferment
in the immediate future. The gossip
is that Senator Walsh, on the retire
ment of Associate Justice McKenna,
will be elevated to the supreme
bench. There has been some talk in

never more applicable than in the
present instance, for the Montana Lii

al years to get a bill through pro-

or a commission worker, in order
that we may have some court of APP

for library conditions in the state,
and if VIZ are to attain this desired
end, we must keep at it.
