dan County roll. At the same
time for the last twenty days he has
been issuing permits that directly
saved the farmers of Sheridan Coun-
ty at least $7500.OO. To show how
this was done I will give a little his
tory of one car load of oats shipped
into the county by farmer at Flax
vile. This man had tried faithfully
to secure a half rate permit and was
told to see the County Agent but
thanks to our County Fathers he was
not on the pay roll. The car was
shipped Cfrom Minneapolis and the
freight on it amounted to $322.40
which of course had to be paid be-
fore it could be unloaded. The saw
ing to this man on this car would
have been $161.20. Not much! but
he might have been able to pay for
a subscription to the Pioneer Press
at least. It might not be amiss to
ask, what effort did the Board put
forth on applications and letter re-
ferred to them on this subject? To
date we have not heard of a single
instance where the Board assisted in
securing a loan or half rate permit
for. any one. Even at this late date
we have been able to get some help
through the Montana State College.
We have a large number of prob
lens before US and heartily agree
with The Pioneer Press when you
say "small differences of opinion
could be layed aside. and the work
resumed at an early date" How
ever the Press is rather inconsistent
as in an article of the same date you
say, 'sIn the eyes OF the law and the
thinking public this man is innocent
until he is proven guilty in court
of competent jurisdiction"
I have no bone to pick with the
editor of the Pioneer Press but am
largely in favor of Fair Play and q
Square Deal.

suit tried in Martin county, where
The populace has been thoroughly
cowed by series of prosecutions
which kept the Martin county Jail
full of farmers and others who had
incurred the enmity of the notorious
prosecutor. But Allen lost in this
attempt, the court deciding that the
case should be tried in Ramsey coun-
ty, where the kidnapping occurred.
The case was due to come up for
trial when Sheriff Carver made the
offer of settlement. He confessed
that he had acted illegally and plead
ed that the full penalty provided by
law would be a hardship upon him.
Sheriff Carver said that he had no
intention of breaking the law and
would not have done so but for the or
ders and advice of Attorney Allen.
The trumped-up case which the
Martin county attorney brought
against Mr.. Gilbert and Mr.. TownIey

what respect he was incompetent"
can assure you all the Farm Bu-
reau wants is good and sufficient rea-
sons for Anderson's dismissal and the
County Board is very much aware
of this fact. This is matter which
| believe any taxpayer is entitled
to know.
1t is surely remarkable that the
County Board should so interest
themselves as to have meeting
with the Farm Bureau and Mr.. M.
L. Wilson. Bear in mind there were
three different parties interested in
the services of the County Agent,
namely: the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, The Montana State Col
lege and Sheridan County Mr.. M.
L. Wilson is representative of one
of these parties. We might also ask
whether or not the County Board
hold their respective Offices to rep
resent the taxpayers or just them
selves as individuals?
AS a result of our not having a
County Agent there are a great
number of farmers who will not get
the benefit of Federal Aid for the
reason there was nc Agent here to
approve Or disapprove applications
for same. For instance, there was
no one here for long time who
had authority to o K seed loan ap-
plicatons. For that reason a great
number of applications were< not re-
ceived at the Great Falls Office be-
fore the smoney available was al
ready applied for. Naturally
number of our farmers will be left
out. Later that authority was Civ
en- to II. P. Madsen, President of the
Farm Bureau, and myself as Sec
retary. Still later it was arranged
that ] could act on applications for
half-rate permits. This was made
possible by the other departments
placing Mr.. E. W. Anderson at Sid
ney, Montana, to act on half rate
permits for Sheridan County. You

To the Pioneer Press:
In your issue of Friday, February
2Sth, you have an article headed
"The County Agent Question" AS
I am the Secretary of the Farm Bu-
reau and owing to the fact that you
state the Farm Bureau properly in
terested themselves in the County
Agent matter, I beg herewith to give
the public a few facts in regards to
the Farm Bureau and the County
Agent.
Before going any further it
might be well to clearly understand
that the Farm Bureau is not po-
political organization; also that it is
sponsored for by Uncle Sam through
his Department of Agriculture. |
might further remark, that the Farm
Bureau did a great deal of war work,
such as helping the food conserva-
tion program, getting actual reports
on grain threshed and other valuable
work.
Now, at the time the Board of
County Commissioners saw fit to dis
charge County Agent Anderson, the
Executive Committee. of the Farm
Bureau met with them and asked
them to reconsider. The committee
at that meeting also pointed out that
the time was at hand for receiving
applications for federal seed loans
and half-rate permits on feed and
forage stuff shipped into Sheridan
county. The committee also asked
for reasons why the Agent was dis
charged. I do not recall of any
reasons given other than "he kept on
mixing Gopher Poison after told
him not to, and pulled lot of
bones."
Of course this is very plain now
as you have made it so clear in your
issue of February 28th. However,
your explanation seems little vague
and we will ask you the same as the
Executive Committee asked the
County Board, "kindly show us in

MINI. SHERIFF
PAYS CLAIM OF
LEAGUE MAN
Martin County Officer Settles Suit
for Kidnapping for $500.

st. Paul, Minn.-By paying the
sum of 5000 to settle the suit for kid
mapping brought against him, by Jo-
seph Gilbert, the sheriff of Martin
county, Mimi, offers another acknow-
ledgment of the illegal acts against
the Nonpartisan league farmers. IN
this state.
This case, concluded in favor of the
League man by being settled before
it came to court, was based on d
high-handed attempt of this sheriff
to take both Mr.. Gilbert and A. C.
Townley from the jurisdiction of the
Ramsey county court. The two
League men had been indicted in
Martin county on the trumped up
charge of circulating seditious litera-
ture in the midst of the 1918 pri-
mary campaign. After they had been
freed on bail by the Ramsey county
court, the Martin county sheriff ap-
peared suddenly at League headquar-
ters with the intention of spiriting
both men away to Martin county.
Mr.. Townley happened to be in
another state, but Mr.. Gilbert was
seized and hurried off IN an automo-
bile before a court order could be OBJ
tained. Long before the sheriff could
get return train to Martin county,
League lawyers had a writ of habeas
corpus, but the sheriff was unable
to surrender Mr.. Gilbert because he
had already sent him away in charge
of a deputy. The following day Mr..
Gilbelt was allowed to return to ST.
Paul.

day, March 4th, With All Com
missiOners Present

The Culbertson Searchlight: The
County Commissioners of the new
County of Roosevelt expected to meet
at Mondak on Saturday last, but
there was some delay on account of
new law requiring them to file
their bonds at Helena before taking
any action. The snow storm in the
mountains on Saturday and Sunday,
also made further delay, as Com
missioner Patch was on the train
from Helena Sunday which was an
nulled, causing another delay of "a
hours.
However, all was ready on Tues
day morning and the county commits
sioners got busy at once.
Most of the county officers were
present and were sworn in.
Babcock & Ellery, attorneys at
Plentywood, have opened an office in
the back rooms of the First Nation
al Bank at Mondak, and they gen.
erously placed these rooms at the
disposal of the County Commission
ers to hold their sessions in for the
present. Here Roosevelt County was
inaugurated with no particular flour
ish of trumpets, but quietly as be-
fits the official conduct Of a prosper
Gus county.
FRANK WEINRICH, BEING THE
MOST EXPERIENCED COUNTY
COMMISSIONER, WAS ELECTED
CHAIRMAN.
Mondak, as had previously been
determined, was named as the tenn
porary county seat, and the County
Commissioners went at their work
in quiet, earnest and efficient man
ner.
Attorney Babcock, who was Coun-
ty Attorney when Sheridan County
was organized, was present and vol
unteered his assistance to County
Attorney Ernest Walton.
The county officials are: State sem
ator, Henry Lowe; State Rep, John
Hoffman; County Commissioners, r..
E. Patch, Frank Weinrich and John
Anderson; Treasurer, W. E. Tidland;
Sheriff, P. J. Macy; Assessor, E. j..
Rice; Clerk of Court, T. Forbes;
Clerk and Recorder, John c. Dwyer;
County Attorney, E. L. Walton; Cor
oner, A. w. Gustafson; Supt. OF
Schools, Mrs. Nina Mcfarland;
County Surveyor, Scott Hart.
Ray p. Cox, of Poplar, was ap-
pointed Public Administrator, as
that Office had not been named in
Bin SO. Mr.. Cox, who was quite ac-
tive during the campaign at Helena,
said that at first he wanted to be
Senator, then he wanted to be sher-
iff. in. fact he wanted most any old
Office. but was turned down all along
the line. However he was bound to
get an Office, so he applied for the
office of Public Administrator anta
was duly appointed.
