grams during the month assigned
them, to please notify any per-
son who may be down for a paper,
of the fact; also their topics and
the lenght of time you wish them
to take on the subject, so that

them at any of the business meet
ings from our secretary, Mrs. 7.
7. Swift.

BAPTIST CHURCH
.~NNN%NN~AN~NNN~N'

A series of special evangelistic
meetings will be held in the First
Baptist Church, beginning next
Sunday, September 18th, at 800
D. m. A welcome for all.
Please do not stay at home or
go somewhere else other than
church, and then call the churches
selfish, Indifferent, uncourteous
hypocrites. We want you to come
and see what kind of a gospel
we preach; what kind of a folk
we are, and whether you like the
music or not. If you are not
satisfied, we will not think hard
of you for not coming any more.
Isn't that fair?
The subject for Sunday eve
ming will be. Three Reasons for
attending Church"
We know that it is going to
take a little sacrifice on the part
of all of us to be in the meetings
from night to night, as busy as
the world is today, but no one
can follow the road of pleasure
and least resistance and be a
disciple of Jesus Christ.
Most every fellow has a re-
ligion of his'own, and is generally
ready to boast of his own re-
ligion or his own good deeds;
but when our fruits are piled
up in front of us and the judg-
ment flames applied to them,
how much is going to remain as
gold?
1t is Christ's gospel and re-
ligion that we are going to try
to preach. Come, every one
you are welcome and wanted in
the meetings.
Sunday School, at 1000 a. m.
Preaching, at 1l:00 a. m. and
800 p. m.

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT
ON IN HIGHLAND

County seat scraps seem to be all
the go in eastern Montana these days
Right now there seems to be trouble
looming up over in Richland county,
with threats that the Richland seat of
government is to be removed from
Sidney, and that in case it does de-
velope that it is moved will likely
go to Lambert.
At present there seems to be a lot
10 noise going on regarding it, but
whether it will eventually be moved
or not is big question. We under
stand that according to law, in order
to move a permanent county seat it
is necessary to file petition with the
county board, signed by at least 65
per cent of the voters residing within
the county, in order to bring the matt
er to an election. Then in case an
election is held the town receiving
81 percent of the votes cast gets the
county seat.

Circle and got four miles that day
and after bucking snowbanks all day
Saturday got another four miles

DOLLARS A GALLON
is PAID FOR RIVER WATER

Great disappointment met four men
of Roundup when, after many myster,
ious prellminaries, they repaired to
Half Breed canyon, near Farreltown,
and after sampIing the contents OF six
kegs of supposedly good "red eye, +"
they parted with $3.50 for the treas
ure contained in them. Bringing their
precious carge to Roundup it was sam
pied and proved to contain nothing
but river water, which they paid for
at the rate of $40 per gallon.
1t seems that during the homecom-
ing several soldiers were importuned
and asked to buy liquor by strangers,
and meeting with refusal the SOL
diers told others. Four men decided
to open negotiations for the liquor and
were taken to the hiding place and a
syphon placed in each keg. 1t was
sampled and pronounced good. 1t now
appears that forked syphon was
used and the other end reposing in t
good whiskey was drawn from the
sud. Investigation showed that moth
ing but water was in the six kegs.
So far no legal action has been TAX
en- to recover the money. One man
parted with $500, two others with $500
each, and the fourth with $3.50. 1t
was reported that the same game had
been played on Harlowton and the
sellers narrowly escaped with their
skins from the enraged citizens.

Who Said all Wester ..omance
Had Departed From Montana?

Miles City, Oct. 19- Smouldering
embers of the ancient range fueds
between cattle and sheep men have
leaped into flame in the Mizpeh coun-
ty along the Powder river southeast
of here. Ranch buildings and equip
ment have been burned and sheep
driven off the ranges and in one in
stance, according to report, one sheep
outfit near Sutherland was moved
bodily from the district by settlers.
Since the days of the first white set
tlement in eastern Montana, the Pow
der river territory has been claimed
by cattle and horsmen. The tradi-
! tion of the country is that no sheep
should be permitted to run on Powder
river range. Sheep men might run
their iocks along the breaks of the
Little Missouri and the Cannon Ball
rivers and to the north of the Yellow
stone, but they must not trespass on
the Powder river range, so tradition
decreed.
Many and bloody are the clashes
which have resulted in the upholding
| of this tradition In the olden days
before the coming of the "Honwaker'
or homesteader, few sheep owners
had terimty to tempt the ire OF cattle
and horsemen by encroaching upon
the Powder river range. Whenever,
at frequent intervals, some fockmas-
ter suffered his bands to stray over
the dead line, retribution almost in
evitably followed speedily.
With the coming of the homestead
er and the fencing of the vast tracts
of range territory and consequent
dissemination of the great herds of
cattle, horses and sheep which former
ly grazed on the limitless ranges, hos
tility between sheep and cattle men
died down, and, until recent outbreaks
was believed to have taken its place
among the memories of the old times.
Today the ancient range war ap-
pears to be in full swing between
purchasers Of large tract of land in
the Mizpah county and settlers of that
district Burning ranch buildings in
the night, destroying sheep wagons
and scattering flocks has become a
favorite pastime, according to reports
Within the past few days buildings
on the Penland, Cole and Fisher ranch
h,,r
sheep wagons have been destroyed.
In one instance, it is said, farm
equipment was piled up and burned
and food stored in dugouts was de-
stroyeG Fences are said to have
been laid waste by cutting all three
strands between each post. AS a
further effort to discourage the bring
ing of sheep into the Powder river
country, hundreds of acres of range
have been burned over, destroying
all forage.
One sheep man located his flock
near Sutherland, south of Terry, in
Prairie county. A sheep wagon was
stationed on a promising background
with a herder in charge. One night,
a party, believed to have been made
up of settlers in the district entered
the sheep wagon, overpowered the
herder, hitched a team to the wagon
and moved the wagon, herder and
flock clear of the range. The flock
owner, it is reported established q
north of the river near Terry.
and now crosses his band over the
bridge each day, returning to the
north side of the river at night.

MIXING CONCRETE FOR SET
TING STEEL FENCE POSTS.

National Crop Improvement SeryIeel
Mixing can best be done on fiat
platform made as nearly water-tight
as possible by placing the boards close
together. Be sure that you have sharp
sand because sand. mixed with vege-
table matter will not make good COM
crete. Measure the sand and spread
1t in layer of equal depth. Place
the cement on top of the sand and
thoroughly mix sand and cement by
turning over with a shovel or mixing
hoe, mixing until the color is uniform.
Spread this mixture on the board. then
spread the gravel on the top and con
tinue mixing. Whoa you have a uni
form mixture, add water and continue
that until the desired consistency is
secured. Add the water slowly while
cutting it over, as this will save losing
cement. Do not slight the mixing, as
or the mixing largely depends the per-
maDent results.
II The concrete shAws strealJy or dry
spots, it is not sufficiently well mixed,
and must be turned again. After the
final turning, round up the pile and
il is ready for placing. If you use
sand and gravel mixed, 1t should be
spread on n mixing board and thor
oughly wet and chen spread the ce-
ment on top and mix, adding such wa
ter as is necessary.
Tho Aonoroto ,o47+,1ro should oonfaiv,
enough water so that it will handle
nicely on shovel without running off
much. Slight tamping to remove bub-
bles, to fill the holes and give a<per-
feet fit is all that is necessary. A wet
mixture is preferable for post setting.
Concrete should not be exposed to
the direct rays of the sun until 1t has
had time to get hard. AS soon as the
concrete at the top Of the post hole is
firm, it is a good plan to cover with
earth, green grass or something that
will in a measure retain the moisture.
If the concrete can be wet every day
for a week, it will be better for 1t.
Do not let the concrete freeze. If the
weather Is frosty, the earth taken
from the hole should be shoveIed back
on top of the concrete and left there
until the concrete has set and all dam
ger from freezing is past.
The best mixture is one part cement,
three parts sand and three parts gray
Ell. AS cement comes in bags of 100
pounds, for every bag of cement you
should have. three bags of sand and
three bags Of gravel.
Use concrete as soon as possible af-
ter it is made. If brick bats or stones
are used instead of gravel, they should
be broken up into small pieces.
Be sure your posts are thoroughly
set before stretching your fence.
