CIRCLE TEMPORARY co.
SEAT OF INCOME COUNTY

Circle has been named temporary
county seat of McCone county. That
is the cheering and most important
news we have for our readers this
week. The board Of county commits
sioners met again herelast Monday
and the afternoon was spent in decid-
ing the location of the temporary
county seat. 1t was expected that
Circle and Brockway would be the
only contestants, but at the eleventh
hour Terrace, over north, got the bug,
and made bid for it.
Result of a vote taken in the mat
ter was one for each of the three
places mentioned above. 1t was then
agreed to place the names of the three
places in sealed envelopes and place
them in a hat and drawing held to

OSWEGO SOLDIER LOSES
LIFE BY DROWNING

Just before going to press news was
received of the drowning at Oswego
this Saturday afternoon of Robert
Olln, an Oswego farmer who returned
nome this week from military service
at Fort Omaha, Nebraska.
The accident occurred when a party
consisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Olin, Mrs.
Pearl GLADDEN., Burrell Wilson and
Harvey Irwin attempted to cross the
Missouri river in leaky row-boat,
The boat filled with water and the
entire party narrowly escaped drown
ing. In fact, Mrs. Olin and Mr.. Irwin
owe their lives to assistance rendered
by James Phypers, who was on the
bank of the river.
Mr.. Oln was married in January
while in the service and had returned
from camp on Wednesday of this week.

HIGH COST OF LIVING
TO Be MAINTAINED
New York Statistician Analyses Cur
rency Initiation to Prove His
Contentious.

New York, April 12.-There is lit
tie prospect of material reduction
in the high cost of living, in the opin-
ion of O. P. Austin, statistician of the
National City Bank of New York,
who addressed the editorial conference
of the New York Business Publishers
association.
Mr.. Austin attributed the increase
in prices to three principal causes:
First, the demand created by the
war for food and raw material for
the use of the vast armies in the field :;
second, the advance in wages due to
the increased cost of living; third,
the enormous initiation in the worlds
currency caused by the vast amount
of paper money put out by the lead
ing countries.
Question Answers Itself,
Commenting on these factors, he
said:
eff the governments which have
been the chief participants in the
world increase in currency should fail
materially to reduce that excessive
supply, and if the worlds demand for
food, manufacturing materials and
manufactures is to continue at the
present rate, are we justified in ex-
pectlng general reduction in prices
IN the near future? The question, l
think answers itself. There will, of
course, be instances in which there
will be amaterial reduction, but in
general terms the outlook for marked
or rapid decline, at least in the near
future, does not seem encouraging"
Currency Being Inflated.
The measure by which the curren-
cy of the world has been inflated was
shown by the speaker when he said
that the warning countries had issued
paper money with a face value of
$4,000, 100000 or more than the val
ue of all the gold and silver mined
in the world since the discovery of
America. This does not include $780,
900, 900 issued by the Russian Boil
sheviki Meanwhile during the four
years of the war, the national debts
of the world have advanced from for
ty billions in 1913, to s22O,O00, ,0OO, 900
in 1919. He saw little prospect of an
reduction in this initiation
in view of the fact that the 1919-2O
budgets of the world call for four
times as much money as those of the
year preceding the war.

iously the market for the existing
bonds of the Liberty loans.
II am sure the people of America
will subscribe to this Victory loan in
the same spirit of patriotism which
they have shown in the past, to the
end that the notes may be as widely
distributed as possible, and that our
banking institutions may be left free
to supply the credit necessary for the
purpose of industry and commerce and
the full employment of labor"
We will make a strong effort to ov-
ersubscribed our quota in this county
on account of patriotic pride in our
former record in such matters, be-
cause we want to finish the Job cred
itably, and to bring the boys home.
We will put this loan over as we did
the other four, because it is a part
of our original obligation, and part
of the cost of winning the war. We
will stand by this loan because we owe
the money, and Valley county will not
shirk any debt of honor.
The schedule Of payments for the
Victory liberty loan is as follows:
10 per cent by May 10; 10 per cent by
July Is; 20 per cent by August -;
20 per cent by September 8; 20 per
cent by October 7; 20 per cent by No
vember II.

GLASGOW BOY WRITES.

Part of letter received by Orval E.
Mason of the Log House Insurance
agency, from Sergeant Walter E. Will
son, who left here two years ago with
Company G and is now stationed in
France as overseer of the American
prisoners and guards. He writes as
follows:
II left my company for fourteen
day furlough February Oath and ar
rived in Monte Carlo on the evening
of the Goth. There l went through
the Casino, that world-famous gamb-
ling house. The PAINTINGS and stone
work are so magnificentspi.a it. is i'm
possible for me 10 describe them.
Monaco is small principality under
the protection of France, the expenses
of running the government being paid
out of the profits made at the Casino.
The princes palace is in the city of
Monaco.
81 crossed into Italy at Vintimille
on the 9th and arrived at Genoa
about 1O:45 in the morning. While
here | visited the small house where
Christopher Columbus was born in
1445, and also the place where the
present pope was born in 1854. l ar
rived in--- March End. This
is the most beautiful city have ever
seen. 1t is filled with artistic work
of all ages. That marble tower that
Napoleon said was so beautiful that it
should be enclosed in glass, is here.
| got into Rome the next day and
visited the ruins of the Coliseum, the
old Roman amphitheatre built about
the third century. Among the histor-
ical places in Rome are the catacombs
where the early Christians came to
hide from the Romans in order to
worship and have a sac place to bury
their dead. Our party motored along
the road travelled by Paul rom Naples
to Rome( when he was a prisoner.
We also visited St. Peters cathedral,
the largest church as well as the most
in the world.
One of the most interesting places
is theManertime prison, built 600 B.
c. This place, so history tells US, is
where the apostles, Paul and Peter,
were imprisoned while awaiting trial.
This prison is about Is feet in di-
ameter and 61a feet high. While here
with several other American soldiers
we visited the Vatican and had an
audience with the pope. 1t was quite
a formal affair.
Let US hope it will not be long be-
fore l will recross the Atlantic to
the one place more beautiful than all
Europe. Our flag is the most beau
tiful Of all the emblems ever painted
or carried"

reports to headquarters on time and
the sending of surplus moneys to head
quarters.
Mr.. Bruno, director of the civilian
relief work, or as it is now called.
home service work, was the last speak
err of the afternoon, and called for
greater cooperation in this most try
ing time of reconstruction. He dwelt
upon the splendid results obtained
where this branch of the organization
was active, and urged the need of
home service director in every coun-
ty, that they might keep in touch
with the boys as they are being must
cred out, and as far as possible urge
their return, in place of remaining in
the already congested cities. Over
one-half of the men of our army and
navy at home have been mustered out.
about three-eights in overseas service
have returned, and it is expected the
largest number will return next fall.
Vocational education, Mr.. Bruno said,
IS most important, and injured men
should be urged to take advantage
OF it. There are of the American
boys one hundred and twenty-five
blinded for life, and for these there
is a special school in Baltimore where
accompanied by one member of their
family who will act as Interpreter.

result that Circle "landed the bacon
and was named temporary couty seat
OF McCone county.
Needless to say, there was great re-
Jolcing by the Circle people over their
victory. The gong of the fire bell
was put in action Immediately by Jack
Wilde and the Banner man, to herald
the good news of Circles victory.
Well, the temporary county seat
has finally been named and of course,
for one, we hope it will remain here.
We are indeed proud of the fact that
Circle played a fair game in regards
to the location of the county seat,
leaving it to the commissioners to de-
eide, and when they could not come
to an agreement it was an even chance
for all to have it settled in the way it
was-by drawing.
Tuesday the commissioners met
again, and for the first time in Nc
Cone county, the county became eff
fective on Monday at midnight. Sew
eral things of importance were con-
sidered during the day and bids were
received for office supplies for all
the offices. Wednesday morning the
contract for office fixtures was let
to the Billings Stationery and Supply
company. Wednesday afternoon bids
were received for county printing
and bids were received from the Cir
Gle Banner, McCone County Pioneer
and the Brockway Bulletin, but no
decision has been reached at this writ
ing.
Later-Just before noon TODAY the
publisher Of the Banner was informed
by the board of county commission
ers that the Banner has been award
ed the county printing contract and
declared the official paper of McCone
county. After two days of hard work
the board decided that the Banners
bid was the lowest of the three sub
mitted.-Circle Banner.

MONTANA SHIPS 100000
CATTLE IN Two YEARS
Marketing Conditions Last Year Were
Very Unsatisfactory, Says Sec
retary of Association.

Miles City, Mont, April 15.-Ove7
two-thirds of million head of cat
tie were shipped from Montana t.
Chicago, St. Paul and Omaha markets
in 1917 and 1918, according to the
annual report of D. w. Raymond
secretary of the Montana Stockgrow
ers' association, and also secretar,
of the state livestock commission
which was presented at the annua
meeting that began today. He ac.
counts for the heavy shipments by
the short grass and the drouth that
continued over that period. The gov
erment livestock census of January
l, 1917, showed Montana had 1,OOO,-
900 head of cattle. That year, to these
three markets 1888 ,O56 head were ship
ped and in 1918, 406,415 head or a
total for the two years of 100000
Mr.. Raymond says there is no doubt
that much of the states foundation
stock was sent to market.
In 1915 Montana shipped to the
three markets 1O0,445 head of steers,
in 1917, 158,O65 steers and in 1913,
183,236 steers. In 1915 the state
shipped 23,332 cows, in 1917, 116,O38
cows and in 1918, 153, ,418 COWS. In
1915 only 800 calves were shipped to
the three markets, in 1917, S,S29
calves and last year 1924 calves.
In 1915 there were 1852 bulls shipped
to the three markets from Montana,
in 1917, 4,425 bulls and in 1918, 6,O24
bulls.
Poor Shipping Service.
"Marketing conditions in 1915" con-
tinued Mr.. Raymond, "were very un-
satisfactory. The stockmen have not
received the service on their ship
ments from the railroads that they
have been receiving in the past years.
Delays have been much more numer-
Gus and the handling of livestock at
tIlc leu ydluo lIluCIl leSS elllCleIlJ.
If the past year is the illustration of
the ability of the government to op-
crate the railroads, such government
operation is not success from the
stockgrowers' standpoint.
"The railroad administration, how
ever, should not be blamed for the
majority of the mixups that have oc-
Cured during the past season. We
have satisfied ourselves that the ter
minal markets are to blame. The
conditions at the river markets during
last fall were deplorable. There was
not sufficient competent help to pen
the cattle after they were unloaded
at the chutes, and it was in transit
from the chutes to the commission
firm pens that most of the mixups
during the last season occurred. Dur
ing the latter part of the season, the
yards were knee-deep in mud, espec-
tally at Chicago.
