MONTANA TAKES 5000
IN PRIZES At BIG
GRAIN AND HAY SHOW
Treasure State Takes Down More
Than Its Share at Chicago
Exhibition.

Helena, Dec. 14.-Montana won prizes
at the international grain and hay slow
in Chicago this month aggregating $500.
That this is more than the share OF the
state will be realized when it is saio that
there were 1880 entries in the grain and
hay show and that the total amount u
all the premiums was $4,000.
The exhibit from Montana was made
under the direction Of the Montana Seed
Growers association, with the co-opera-
ton of the state department of agricul-
ture and publicity. the extension de-
partment of the agricultural college at
Bozeman, the State Nursery and Seed
company of Helena, who contributed $50
toward the expense, the Barkemeyer
Grain and Hay company Of Great Falls,
who contributed S25, and members of the
Seed Growers association, who took a
personal interest in preparing the ex-
hibits and sending them to Chicago
f. r. Fuller, secretary of the associa
ton. writes to Commissioner Greenfield
of the department of agriculture and pub
licity and says Montana sprung sur
prise when she walked off with eight
top prizes in the hard winter wheat ex-
bibits. open to competition in the United
States and Canada. The winning of all
the premiums in the hard winter wheat
classes made ontana more conspicuous
than any other state in the Union. Com
ments by visitors were to the effect that
Montana was attempting to win every
thing. Stockmen who were in Chicago
attending the international hvestoecs
show. and who visited the hay and grain
show. were most interested in a bale OF
timothy shown by Joe Nash of the Gal.

was the general opinion, had never beer

ity, pea-green in color, and absolutely
free from any other plants. The bale
of clover hay which won the first prize
was better than the average bale of al
falfa exhibited as to color. Farmers re-
siding in the central states were also
interested in this bale Of clover, because
thew were unaccsutomed to seeing green

AUDITOR BOYCE
 PASSES BUCK ON BONDS.
(From Saturdays Daily0

It was believed that when County
 Treasurer Keohane was summoned
 to Phoenix early this week the long
 standing controversy between this
 county and Coconino affecting the
 timc-worn P. & A. C. railroad bond
 issue, dating back to over 25 years
 ago, would be settled amicably to
 both commonwealths by State Au-
 ditor Boyce, who had consented to
 act as umpire. But the complex
 question has now assumed another phase of official sparring, in which
 time is the essence of the new angle. Mr. Boyce has made his dicision to shuffle off the responsibility of weav- ing all interests into harmonious
 relationship, and he now recom- mends that "court of competent jurisdiction" be the avenue by which the estranged relations of the two counties will be ameliorated. Anoth CT side issue has also stepped into this financial controversy, in which Pima and Maricopa counties also figure jointly with that of Yavapai and Coconino, in which all four have their axes to grind in bond issues made prior to 1897.
 The enabling act gives to each of the above counties to right to receive compensation for bonded indebted ness for the sums involved, which obligations are to be liquidated by the sales of public lands. So as the Yavapai-Coconino matter is simmer ing to the boiling point in being solved the deal made when Coconi- no left Yavapai by it assuming one third of the debt of the mother coun- ty is to be unraveled from the skein. |
 So far as Yavapai and Coconino are concerned, there is a delicate go- between issue at stake. Yavapai has paid on the $292O00 railroad bonds to date the huge interest of $H1,- 49873, while Coconino never receiv- ed her railroad bonds and never paid a cent of interest thereon. Co., conino was supposed to receive one third of the bond issue, when it was created, but did not do so. On the other hand it did assume its propor- ion of one-third of the principal and now the contention s being waged furious1y that Coco 1ino claims $2OO,OOO in interest she paid for the bonds she assumed with put the same being in her possession. Yavapai alone has met this whole in interest paid and debt acquired, which reaches a total of | over %00,0O0 on a principal origin. lily of $292,0O0.

SCHOOL CLOSES WHEN
 DEATH INTERVIEWS.
CFrom Saturdays Daiiv)

It seems hardly conceivable that
 fatalities from influenza among pu-
 pils of the Nelson public school
 should, have decimated the attend ance to such an extent that it has been deemed necessary to perman- cntly close down the institution, ow- ing to the workings of the law which requires that a certain number of scholars must be enrolled. Such is the case, however, owing to the death rate reaching a total of eight children, out of an attendance of fifteen.
 This frightful mortality occurred in less than one week after the school reopened about one month ago, and the deadly affliction ap- pcared the first day when school re- stunned. Up to that time not single case of flu had appeared in that community, and it seems strange that the epidemic should arise on the very first day when the children should be assembled. A call was made for outside help, and a physi- clan and two trained nurses answer ed, thereby saving those who had not 5uccumbed.
 In addition to the children strick- en, there were several adults, some of whom have left that region. It is unfortunate that compliance with the statutes makes it necessary to legal y abandon this district. but such is and until this small and solated community in this county an provide its quota of children. the title school house must remain un- cnanted for an indefinite period.
