DANIELS COUNTY
SUBDIVISION g
CREATED BY VOTE OF PEOPLE
AND COMES INTO BEING
ON AUGUST %.
Contains 1850 Square Miles Land
Area and Has a Property Valua-
ton of $4,000, 900; Scobey Is the
County Seat; Named for Mansfield
A. Daniels, Pioneer.

On August Goth the temporary Of
ficials of the new county of Daniels
will assume the duties of their vari
GUS offices, marking the final steI
in completing the work or organiza-
ton of Montana's fifty-second coun-
ty.
The creation of Daniels county
came as the result of the combined
efforts of the farmers of the new
county and the business men of SEQ
hey, who found it very unsatisfactory
to maintain connections with the old
counties, with their county seats SO
far distant from this section.
The first meeting called for the
purpose of taking up the county di-
vision question was held in Scobey,
Dec. 80, 1918, and resulted in the ap-
polntment of committee composed
OF Sid Bennett, mayor of Scobey,
j. G. Timmons, chairman of the
board OF county commissioners of
Sheridan county, Attorney Thomas
F. Clifford and J. V. Bennett, who
were instrumental in having a bill
introduced at the last session of the
legislature providing for the crea-
ton of Daniels county. 1t was known
at that time that the people of the
territory strongly favored the or
ganization of a new county and the
matter was, presented to the legisla-
ture as forcibly as possible, how
ever, the bill for the creation of Dan
iels county introduced by Represen-
tative Mead of Valley county, was
killed In the house committee on new
counties and was never again resur-
rected.
After failing to secure assistance
through legislative action, no further
work was done until July, 1919, when
through the efforts of P. E. Burke, at
that time editor of the Scobey Citi-
zen and Roger Burke, editor of the
ocobey S n n l, mass meeting !
of farmers and business men was
held in Scobey and the work of pre-
pairing the plans for division placed |
In the care of a committee with Rog-
er Burke as chairman. This COM
nittee reported to the people of the
at another mass meet
ng held in December of last year and
1t that time it was decided to cir
,ulate petitions asking for the hold
ng of special election to pass upon
he question. A business mems COM /
nittee was then appointed composed

neighbors revealed the body of the
dead man where he had been muir
dered. Lane made his escape to the
hills, followed by a posse, and for
days he managed to keep in hiding
Finally, weak and half-starved, he
gave himself up to the Roberts bro
theirs, ranchers near his home. On
being taken to Forsyth he was ar
raigned on murder charge and en-
tered plea of not guilty.
Lanes plea was self-defense, which
was not sustained by the evidence or
the location of the bullet holes. The
appeared to have been pre-
and a most brutal one.
The speed with which Lane was
tried, convicted and sentenced, and
the short lapse of time between his
sentence and execution, have caused
much favorable comment over the
state. Several murders have been
committed in Rosebud county before,
but usually short penitentiary SEN
fences have followed convictions.
Montana and the rest of the ma
ton are passing through one Of the
worst crime waves experienced for
many years. Recently there have
been many unpublished murders. HUI
man life was never held more cheap
ly, it seems, than today. Peace Off
GERS over the state are quite gener-
ally of the opinion that killings
would be lessened in number very
If justice worked more
certainly and more rapidly than is
usually the case.

of Sid Bennett, H. w. Olsen,, w. T
stephens, j. F. Olsen, Ira Nelson ant
Id. G. Knapp all of Scobey, who took
active charge of the division propo
sition and of the interests of the city
of Scobey in the question The far
mers appointed a committee of five
with Bert Mason of Scobey as chair
|, man and these two committees work
ed in harmony throughout the cam
| paign.
On January Is, last, the petitions
had been completed and were filed
with the county clerk, who set Feb
ruary 8, as a. time for the meeting
of the board of county commission
ers to act upon the matter. At the
hearing held before the board, the
calling of the election was opposed
by the people of Opheim, in Valley
county, led by R. G. Arnold, nom
partisan league candidate for lieuten-
ant governor, but the Valley county
protests were rejected by the board
and the election was set for May
18th.
The division committee selected
Roger Burke of Scobey as cam
paign manager and a campaign TO
bring the issue before the people of
the new county was inaugurated with
great success. The city of Scobey
and the village of Modoc entered the
race for the county seat honors and
the nonpartisan league filed COM
plete ticket for legislative and coun-
ty offices. The league ticket was OPP
posed by numerous Independent can
didates.
Sortly before the election the bus
mess men of Opheim and Plentywood
commenced an action in the state SUI
preme court asking for an injunction
to stop the election, but the supreme
court refused to take jurisdiction in
the matter and few days later a
similar action was commenced in the
district court at P1entywood, but the
court refused to issue the Injunction
and the election was held as called by
the board of county commissioners.
The election carried by a vote of
three to one, and Scobey was named
as permanent county seat, having re-
ceived majority of all the votes cast
for county seat.
The temporary officials elected
January and their political affilia-
lions are as follows:
State senator, Luther Greenup of
West Fork, nonpartisan league.
Representative, B. D. Templeman
Of Modoc, nonpartisan league.

The obligation to practice thrift
is not as binding on some people
as it is on others. It is the man
Of small means who needs to
spend carefully all the while.
He is the man who has to sternly
turn a deaf ear to all appeals
such as "let's co. "back to

hearing from many sides now as
the remedy for the depression
which undoubtedly exists.
But not everybody is compelled
to practice thrift. There are
thousands and thousands of peo-
pie who are refusing to buy and
thereby helping to cause business
stagnation who do not have to
stint themselves. These are the
ones who should loosen up. They
can afford to The are hesitating
because they think it will be
money in their pockets to do so.
Meanwhile business halts, factor

revived, factories would resume
operation and men and women

SWITCHING
+. ADVERTISING

TO all persons who. enjoy looking
over the advertising columns of mag
azines it must seem rather out Of
place for a. merchant to intrude his
= rubber stamp into y the space of a
. manufacturer whose goods he han
dies. The blurred information that
1--WE have these goods in stock"
might be helpful in a pinch, but the.
method of approach kills the mes
sage. ..
Anybody who is interested enough.
to spend good time studying the.
splendid advertising displays that
appear in all their luxury in the
magazines will, we think, resent the
marring intrusion of some local
storekeeper into that well-designed
and illustrated space.
q Those big advertisements cost at
the rate of $4,000 a page. Can
little local merchant add
anything to their well-aimed APP
peal by saddling them with his rub
Der stamp? He cannot help but de-
stroy their pleasing effect.

THE JAPANESE
PANIC

Japan, operating about as the
United States only on smaller
scale, has experienced financial
crisis. The cause, set forth by I'll
nancial experts is the restriction Of
bank credit in time of overinfla-
ton of prices. Many merchants
were boarding silks. Credit was
shut off. They were forced to sell
at lower prices.
The United States has escaped be-
cause it has larger resources. Dur
ing the past winter we have had a
condition that in less prosperous
days would probably have created a
panic. Our excellent federal re-
serve system has maintained finan-
cial equilibrium.
Our reaction is coming more slow
ly and it will with good fortune re-
duce prices in such a normal and
gradual way as to prevent our suf-
fering any notable setback.
But this is an. unhealthy season
for all hoarders of goods, and very
good. time to sell. The merchant
who buys and sells rapidly is the
man who rides the wave. He buys
and sells while the market condi-
lions are unchanged. Whoever buys
at high prices and still has his goods
when prices drop will get bit. He
will have to sell at loss.
