A break in connections Of hot water
heater at 1901 Arch street last night
caused $4,000 damage to the stock OF a
cigar establishment on the first floor.
The entire FIRST floor of 1901 Arch
street is occupied by G. Farmer, whole

apartment on the second floor.
When the break occurred, no one was
on either floor. When Farmer arrived
this morning the water had soaked

has offered to donate a block Of ground
as the site for future courthouse.
Dan Mckay, the famous county
splitter" of Montana, who has stirred
up more county division mischief and en-
gineered more county seat fights than
any dozen men In the state, had hand
in the Judith Basin campaign having
been engaged for the past month or more
the new county but also for the selection
Of Stanford as county seat.
No more had the question of Judith
Basin been settled at the Tuesday cleo
ton than he transferred his activities
to Chouteau county where he Is now on
gagged in another county division scheme,
that Of detaching from Chouteau county
a goodly portion of it's southern terri
! tory with the idea of establishing the
town of Geraldine as a county seat.
This proposed new county was aH-
| tated at the last session of the legisla-
ture but did not survive. It would take
! in most of the Milwaukee railway terri
tory in Chouteau county together with
about six townships in the northern part
of Fergus county.
As now planned the west line of the
county would start at the Cascade coun-
ty line near the town of Highwood,
/ would extend north to within about Is
miles of Fort Benton, then east Is miles,
then north into the big bend of the Mis-
souri, river, then crossing the Missouri
near Eagle butte to the west line of
Blaine county, then south along this
! line to the Missouri west to the mouth

Taking for its territory the bulk OF
the famous Judith basin, one of the best
wheat growing sections of Montana, To-
Gated in the geographical center OF Mon
tana and containing a large number o.
the most prosperous of the smaller
towns of the state, the county of judith
Basin, the creation of which was author
lied by it's voters at the election last
Tuesday, will start off as one of the
richest Of the infant counties Of the
state.
Although the vote for the creation OF
the county was almost unanimous the
county was not formed without dltfl-
Guilty and its hackers have been forced
to face the most bitter opposition ever
placed in the way of any county division
scheme in this state. For a number OF
years the agitation for the formation OF
a county in this section has been pro-
crossing and several efforts for its crea-
ton by legislative enactment have been
frustrated by it's opponents.
The plan for its formation was once
defeated at the hands of the comms-
sioners of Fergus county, from when
the larger share of its territory was OBJ
tanned, and numerous obstacles placed IN
its way during the recent successful
campaign were only swept aside after
the matter had been carried into the
supreme court of Montana
Considerable opposition also was en-
countered from among the property own
ers of the extreme eastern portion OF
the new county and it was not until 10
recent months that these property own
ers withdrew their opposition and finally
joined the county division forces. Some
territory was relinquished before this
object was attained, il being found nee
essary to drop several townships which
it had been planned to take from the
eastern part of Cascade county and also
to eliminate a strip in Fergus county
through which passes the Lewistown-
Harlowton line of the Milwaukee rail
road.
Judith Basin county, which will come
into being 80 days after the results OF
the election have been certified to the
necessary state officials, will be one OF
the richest agricultural counties Of the
state. It's soil is particularly adaptable
to the growing of wheat. the Judith ba-
sin being one of the very best wheat
sections of the state, and in addition 1t
Is one Of the leading stock growing ter
ritories and is rich in minerals, as well.
To the northwest it takes in the foot
hills and south slopes of the Highwood
mountains, long devoted to stock raising
on a large scale, while to the southwest
it takes in considerable of the Little
Belt range, its western line running
nearly to the silver mining town Of Nei-
hart in Cascade county.
Within the new county is the great
coal mining camp Of Lehigh, where the
Cottonwood Coal company, subsidiary Of
the Great Northern railway, maintains
one Of its largest and most modern col
lieries. At Yogo, or Sapphire, are the
sapphire mines from which the wonder
full Montana sapphires, now famous the
world over, are mined. In addition there
are vast deposits Of copper, gold and iron
in the Little Belt mountains which are
awaiting development.
Great Falls daily tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1895-1921, 1920-08-29

Throughout the Judith basin, underly-S
ing the great wheat growing section, is
limestone base, excellent for the pro-
duction of wheat and alfalfa in that it is
natural fertilizer which keeps up the
soil and supplies some Of the important
constituents of the wheat
Judith Basin county takes from the
parent county of Fergus about 1919
townships consisting of the southwestern
portion Of the old county and including
the towns of Stanford, Hobson. Mecca
sin, Lehigh, Windham, Benchland, Mer-
mo, Dover, Arrow Greek, kohn, Hauck-
Mendon and Utica. All of these, with
the exception Of Utica, are railroad
points and all are located upon the Great
Falls Billings line of the Great North
ern, with the exception Of kolin, which
is on the Moccasin Lewistown branch OF
that system and also excepting the little
town Of Arrow Greek on the Great Falls
Lewistown line of the Milwaukee in the
extreme northern part Of the county.
From the eastern part Of Cascade
county the new county takes about 20
townships included in which are the
towns of Geyser, Spionkop and Raynes-
ford, also on the Great Falls Billings line
Of the Great Northern, and the inland
town of Kibbey.
The territory within the new county
is well watered, its principal streams be
ing the Judith river, Running Wolf creek
and Arrow creek with a large number
of smaller water courses, most of which
are tributaries Of the Judith river
The Great Northern railway line from
Great Falls to Billings passes entirely
through the new county from its north
western boundary down to its south
eastern corner and gives direct rail con
nection between the county seat and
practically every one of its towns.
While the people Of the county about
to be created have been practically
unit for it's creation, as is shown by the
vote cast at the recent election, they
have not been SO nearly OF one mind as
to the selection Of a county seat, there
having been five candidates for county
seat honors These five towns-Hob-
son, Stanford, Geyser, Moccasin and
Windham-aIl carried on active cam
paigns during recent months and this
fact prevented the selection Of a perma
nent county seat as, under the McCone
law by which the county was created,
the successful town must receive ma
iority of the entire vote cast.
However, the town Of Stanford which
is the most centrally located. obtained
plurality and it will be the seat Of gov
eminent until such a time as the voters
succeed in naming a permanent seat.
Whether this will be done at the com
ing general election next November or
at the election two years hence is a mat
ter which will be determined by the le-
gal authorities Of the state.
As the county cannot come into being
