LAND BOARD MADE
CHANGES IN OIL
AND GAS LEASES

Conditions under which state-owned
oil and gas land may be leased were
materially changed at a meeting Of
the state land board. In the future
one person, association or company
can only lease 320 acres. Heretofore
the rule permitted the leasing of GAO
acres. The amount Of royalty to be
paid the state was raised from 10 to
Is per cent.
Probably the most important change
is the one requiring all persons leas-
ing to drill well upon the land to
depth of 500 feet within 1S months of
the date of lease. The new regula-
tions also require that within the fol-
lowing IL months unless oil is struck
in the meantime, the well must be
drilled 1000 feet deeper.
A bond of $500 will be required of
each person making lease. The board
may require an additional bond in the
event oil is struck. Hundreds of ap-
plications have been held up tempor-
arily awaiting the change in the leas-
es by the board.

TRANSFER COUNTY
FUNDS DECLARED
CONTRARY TO LAW

Transfers of county money from
one fund to another is declared illegal
in an opinion of County Attorney Rot
ering of Silver Bow county, furnished
the county commissioners. The coun-
ty attorneys opinion was requested
following disapproval of the county
treasurer's reports for December,
1919, and January, 1920, which show
ed transfers Of money from the poor
fund to the general fund; general
fund to contingent fund; bridge fund
to general fund; bridge fund to poor

MERCHANTS OF STATE
HOPE TO CUT PRICES
Merchants of State Have Adopted a
Plan of Dividing Excessive
Supplies of Goods.

Striking in very effective way at
the high cost of living, the Montana
Development association has launched
plan which will not only relieve
manufacturers of some of the burden
of orders which they cannot fill, but
will also put many merchants in pos
session of merchandise at prices low
er than current quotations.
A peculiar situation has resulted
from constantly rising prices and pro-
duction shortage. While many Mon
tana merchants are short in certain
lines and cannot get goods they need,
others, by placing orders in dupIi-
cate and triplicate from time to time
in order to be certain of getting goods,
are now overstocked in many lines.
Travelling statesmen, by constantly
predicting higher prices, and produc-
tion shortage, have also encouraged
the merchant to buy more than he
needed.
LII al Sl1Ol u W 1cllcNc Itlc
who are overstocked and to supply re-
tailers who have been unable to get
goods, with merchandise at less than
present prices, the Montana Develop
ment association is now sending out to
its 1000 merchant members a list of
these surplus stocks in all parts of
the state.
The service has met with enthus-
iastic approval and hundreds of dol
lars worth of merchandise already has
changed hands as a result. 1t is pre-
dicted that the service will eventu-
ally bring about merchandise bal
ance in the state which will help con-
siderably in lowering prices to the
consumer.

MAY BUILD THEIR
OWN ROADS WHEN
BIDS COME HIGH

At the recent road builders con-
ference at Helena, several boards of
county commissioners expressed their
willingness to take over road construc-
ton programs in cases where the or
iginal bids of the contractors are
found to be too high. The right to
undertake this construction is grant
ed them by the highway commission,
which furnishes an estimate of what
is considered a fair price for each
project. Should the bids of contrac-
tors be rejected the commissioners
will then be granted the right to take
charge of the work and complete the
highway on the figures submitted by
the commission.

Bozeman Judge Decides That County
Commissioners May Construct
Roads Without Petitions.

Judge A. P. Stark, sitting in the
district court at Bozeman last Fri
day denied the application of A. E.
Westlake for an injunction to prevent
the state highway commission from
receiving bids and awarding contracts
for changing five miles of the Yellow
stone trail between Bozeman and Bel
grade so as to eliminate all but one
railroad grade crossing and to
straighten the line.
In effect, the judge held that boards
of county commissioners may estab-
lish highways without petitions. The
decision is said to establish a prece-
dent. The commissioners first mace
the change in the road and the state

authorities approved the change

the commissioners are greatly afraid
their road program may have to be
abandoned. The commissioners hoped
to let contract for the work last
week but unless the contractors are
willing to take bonds in payment for
their work, the projects may not be
started.
1t was proposed to pave the road
between Butte and the Deer Lodge
county line near Anaconda. The COM

OF the offer of federal funds to an
amount equalling the sum raised by
bonds, which issue was authorized by

OF SECOND DEGREE 'yURDER IN
CENTRALIA ARMISTICE AFFAIR
MONTESANO JURY FINDS 1. w. WIS GUILTY OF
FIRING SHOTS INTO CENTRALIA ARMIS-
DAY PARADE RESULTING IN DEATH
OF WARREN o. GRIMM

The jury in the trial of ten allegedt
/. W. w. at Montesano, Wash, for
the murder of Warren O. Grimm,
Centralia armistice day parade vic
tim, brought in verdict Sunday find
ing seven of the ten defendants guilty
of murder in the second degree.
Mike Sheehan and Elmer Smith
were found not guilty. Loren Rob-
erts was acquitted because of insanity.
The defendants found guilty OF Sec
ond degree murder are: Britt Smith,
Ray Becker, James McInerney, Bert
Bland, Eugene Barnett, John Lamb,
o. c. Bland.
John Berry, sheriff of Lewis coun-
ty, followed the ten prisoners into the
jail after the verdict had been read and
recorded, and read to them the war
rants charging them with the murder
of Arthur McElfresh, another victim
of the Armistice day shootings.
Is Years up to Life.
The jury handed in it's verdict twice.
The first time it found two of the de-
PENDANTS guilty in the third degree,
which the instructions did not permit.
This verdict was refused by the
court. Judge Wilson informed the
jurors after he had read their verdicts,
that he could not receive them, and
ordered them to return and deliberate
in accordance with his instructions.
The penalty for second degree mur-
der is from Is years to life impris-
onment.
Will Ask New Trial.
Motion for a new trial for the seven
men found guilty of second degree
murder will be made Monday, George
F. Vanderveer, defense counsel, said
Sunday night. 1t was assumed that
the court would pass sentence at this
time providing the motion is denied.
Vanderveer, commenting upon the
verdict, said it was improper as to
seven defendants convicted of second
degree murder. He asserted the de-
PENDANTS had been found guilty of
conspiracy by tn jury's verdict, main
tanning that conspiracy was impossible
without premeditation and that pre-
meditated murder was first degree
murder.
at should have been murder in the
first degree or acquittal."
The verdict was received by the pris-
oners without any demonstration.
The verdict which the court had de-
clined to receive had become known
to them. Citizens of Montesano and
nearby towns who filled the court
room commented severely upon the
verdict Public anticipation had been
that several of the defendants would
be found guilty of first degree muir
der.
When the warrant charging the
murder of McElfresh was read to
them, Elmer Smith laughed, then be-
gan an I. w. w. song to the tune of
"John Browns Body" the others join
ing.
Loren Roberts, whom the jury ac-
quilted because of insanity, was in
sane when he committed the crime
charged, is now insane and is apt to
SO continue, the jury found in this
case. This verdict means, it is un-
derstood, that Roberts will be placed
in an asylum for criminal insane.
Major Arthur Casey, in charge of
federal troops sent to Montesano three
weeks ago, placed an extra guard
about the Jail Sunday night.
