All the offices and buildings now
occupied by county officials and court
house. are only costing the county
500 per month. Mondak is also on
the main line and the cost of doing
business there is much less for the
majority of the citizens of the county
than it would be at Froid on the
branch. We all have certainly had
enough branch line county seat be-
fore the county was divided.
It will be we'll that the matter OF
county seat at the special election be
decided as quickly as possible, SO
the towns will know "where they are
at" -,
With Froid, Mondak, BainWlle
POPLAR, Wolf Point and Culbertson
in the race for county seat at the
special election, Froid would at least
have a chance to get first place. And
this is what the petitioners are bank
ing on. If, as the Froid petitioners
claim, this election settles the perm
anent County Seat, and Froid won, II
would be an enormous disaster to 10
per cent of the citizens of the county
To be safe from this disaster 1t
would be wise for Wolf Point and
Bainville to withdraw from the race
which would leave Culbertson as
sure winner. Of course we will be q
winner anyway, but surprising things
happen at special election, and We
want to be absolutely certain to have
the county seat on the main line.

lowing note:

PETITIONS FILED
The Froid Petitions to Call an Elet
ton for Permanent County Seat
Filed Monday


Culbertson Searchlight: County
Commissioners Frank Weinrich of
Mondak was in town yesterday and
reported that the Froid petitions for
the calling of a special election for
the election of a PERMANENT
COUNTY SEAT were filed with the
County Clerk and Recorder on Mon
day, May 10, 1919.
There were 140 signatures to the
petitions, all alleged to be taxpayers.
Some of these may be withdrawn and
some of them may prove to be dis
qualified.
Of the County Commissioners
themselves, it is no secret that Frank
Weinrich and R. E. Patch are in
favor of leaving the county seat at
,, Mondak, as they promised before the
bill creating Roosevelt County was
passed, while J. H. Anderson OF
Froid favors the calling of special
election. All of them, however, will
comply with the law and il it is
found that there are hundred legiti-
mate signatures to the petition, the
special election will be called.
While the petition states that the
election is called to decide on the
PERMANENT county seat, it is a
question whether one town among
several receiving a minority of all
the votes cast but a plurality over
any other town, would become the
permanent county seat or not.
Mondak will undoubtedly be in the
race in case of an election and has
much better argument to put up
to retain the county seat than Froid
has to have it changed to that town.

The past two weeks have been
very dry in northeastern Mon
tana. The latter part of last
week the temperature was high
and rain was looked for, but
Saturday the temperature low
cred because of rain in the west

kota. The storm center passed
with no rainfall and Monday the
temperature commenced to rise
again and has been on the climb

Ali together, the crops are
looking fine, especially the early
sowing. Flax needs rain to start.
