A suit involving approximately $400
in damages required the testimony of
dozen and a half witnesses. the ser
vices of three lawyers, and at the end
of the trial Monday had consumed

Twelve good and true jurymen were
also involved. who after listening TO
great deal of natural history as re-
lated to cows, for the whole case hing
ed upon alleged damages to certain
female of the bovine family, brought
in verdict exhonerating everybody
but the cow, probably because the COW
was the only one interested who was
not present at the trial and did not
have chance to be heard.

s. Fl. Velie Hereford herd at Blue
Springs, Mo-, has been added to the

head, great spring of RIBS and is
uniformerly well set up, according to
the judgment of breeders who have

SCHOOL cFSsUs erMCgUsTY
SHOWS AN INCREASE OE 3l2

The 1921 school population of Cas-
eade county is 10,302. according to the
annual census report compiled IN the
office Of the county superintendent,
which was recently completed after
several months Of careful work. This
figure represents an increase Of 3l2
over the total Of last year. and in
cludes only those persons who are be-
tween the ages Of six and II years.
"The increase noted in the report, =
said Superintendent Jane Keeney,
does not eractly mean that there are
that many new school children in Cas-
cade county. Although it is certain
there is some increase, it is safe TO say
that the last census reached a good
number of children who were not
counted in 1920 Special efforts were
made in all Of the school districts and
in my office to make the last count as
accurate as possible"
The census report also gives tab
uIation of the number Of children un-
der the age Of six years, who are not
considered when the distribution Of
school monies are made. There are
1903 children under the non-school
age classification, with the boys out

ering $40 as the amount that is given
annually by the state and county for

Railroads Plan to
Increase Coal Stock

The plans of the railroads of Mon
tana to increase their stocks of coal
indicate more continuous operation
of the mines for some months to come
and is considered cheerful news by the
operators and miners of Belt. For
the past two or three weeks there has
been noticeable falling off in orders
with consequent slack time for the
miners, and the news will be welcomed
that plans for the stock-piling of en-
gine coal in amounts variously esti-
mated Mt from 500 900 to 1900, 900
tons by the railroads of Montana are
said by railroad men and mine opera
tors TO be well matured. Reports re-
ceived here are that the Northern Paci-
fic already has 300, 900 tons in storage
and that the Milwaukee has begun ac-
cumulating large surplus. while the
Great Northern officials this week at
st. Paul have under consideration a
similar program.
Mine operators are keenly interested
in the accumulation of surr,ds railroad
coal because of the enlarged output
that would result at nearly all mining
properties. Most mines In Cascade
county are operating with a railroad
contract, IL is said. and an extensive
program of stock-piling would tend to
increase the working forces and insure
extensive operations throughout the
winter.
Miners are free in commenting upon
this storage plan and make no secret
Of assigning the motive as a move on
the Dart Of the railroads 10 acquire
surplus in the event Of possible
strike when the present contract be-
tween the United Mine Workers and

The agreement made with the miners
at the conclusion Of the strike of 1919
will continue until that time, and
the year there has been
comment regarding the differences
which may arise from the discussion Of
a new contract. The more conserva-
tive Of the miners believe that the ad.
iustment will be made without fric- I

The case has occupied great deal
