ABNORMAL YEARS
SAYS OLD TIMER
]. M. BOARDMAN, RANCHER FOR
40 YEARS BELIEVES BET
TER SEASONS ARE DUE

/ j. M. Boardman was in the city
last Saturday from the OK Ranch
southeast. Mr.. Boardman is one of
the earliest of the pioneers of this
part of Montana, coming here over
40 years ago. He has made good in
the ranching business and has unlim-
tied faith in the country and the ulti-
mate prosperity that will attend the
development of our natural re-
sources. He says he knows from ac-
tual experience that the past four
to dryness of the summers and the
severity of winters. He says that
while 1920 has produced a fair crop
in most localities, it has not been
favored with the heavy general
spring rains that usually visit this
region.
Better Times Ahead
1t used to be considered quite use
less to put up hay in quantities, as
IlICiC was dOunudilO grass VII UllS
range and the winters were so open
that stock thrived without feed or
much attention. Recently dry, hot
summers and cold snowy winters have
come that have been tough for both
farmers and stockmen, and have re-
suited in lean years.
M poo,J,1,oa loe c+xox.~ fo.4l,
that better times for Montana will |
soon be due.
He says it is climate that is hard
to solve, but he has observed one
general rule that holds good. If
big general rain does not come in
the early part of May, an abnormal
year may be expected. He says he
mas known many years when it rain
ed for several days or a whole week
steadily at that season and plenty of
ain and plenty of grass always fol-
owed during those summers. He
las known single seasons that were
rery dry but not a string of them

New transportation

What the League Wants
1t was Mr.. Arnold's mission to
place before the audience the fea-
lures of the political and industrial
program which the League proposes
to bring about. AS explained by the
speaker the program includes the ex-
emption from taxation of farm i'm
. provements, a system of rural credit
banks, state terminal elevators, -four
mills, packing plants, ETC., state hail
insurance, state dockage and grading
of grain, the Torrens land title sys-
tenn, the Nonpartisan ballot or open
primary system, an equitable system
of taxation. One of the big objects
sought, he said, was the shortening
of the gap between the producer and
consumer.
1t is too late in the week to cover
Mr.. Arnold's speech in detail, or the
other speeches. 1t must suffice to say
that his argument was logical and
temperate and in spirit of common
sense and justice. 1t was well re-
ceived by the audience.
Mr.. Marion next introduced A. w.
Stangeland as the League candidate
for Judge and an attorney of 13
years experience. Mr.. Stangeland
made an earnest talk on political con-
ditions in Montana and in general |
and told why he belonged to the Non
partisan League and why he believed
in it, His address was brief, but
filled with pithy sentiments.
The last speaker and the big card
on the bill, was Governor Frazier
He talked for nearly an hour and a
half. His manner of speech was
rapid and interesting. He was frank,

age Suit.

A directed verdict for the defend
ant wa ordered of the jury by Judge
A. 7. Cole this morning in district
court in the $4,000 damage suit
brought by Michael ,Hennessy against
Charles Ginsberg, ct al. Attorney
Sveinbjorn johnson. representing the
plaintiff, Immediately filed motion for
a new trial which was taken under
advisement by Judge Cole.
Due to the fact that important wit
nesses were not available today for
the $4,000 libel suit Of the Norman
den Publishing Co., of Grand Forks
against T. T. Fuglestad of Coopers-
town. N. D.. the case will not be COM
menced until Saturday morning. All

after the directed verdict in the Hen
messy case. \
Late yesterday afternoon motion
for a directed verdict for the de-
PENDANT was made by counsel for the
defense, T. A. Toner. Judge Cole
Attorney Toner in making his motion
charged hat the plaintiff was guilty
Of contribuatary negligence in work
ing with a man known to the plaintiff
to be incompetent.
The court %ingranting. the motion
for a directed verdict held in sub
stance that the plaintiff being a free
agent and not having refused to obey
the order of his employer to work
with a nan he knew to be careless,
the plaintiff was guilty Of negligence
for working with his fellow employe.
Should the court grant the plain
tits motion for a new trial when
court convenes Saturday morning II
is likely that the Normanden libel
case will not open until the first of
next week.
