ayers are subject to a fine Of from
$25 to $40 a day for each day they
operate without a license.
Two elevators managed to evade
compliance with the regulations last
year and one of them later got into
financial difficulties leaving the
farmers without the protection that
would have been afforded by the
bonds we require. This year we will
exact full compliance from all"
Mr.. Davis also is warning farmers

mighty Bridger range, in the heart OF
the old range country, the premier
wild west contest of the world will
be held next week, August 8, 4, 5,
and s.
No pains have been spared to make
this a real championship affair. For
weeks skilled riders have been comb
ing the ranges seeking the worst out
law horses. The tops of Ad Days
famous Canadian horses are already
in Bozeman and another carload of
fiery Spanish bred mustangs have
already been shipped from southern
Arizona for the big show. World
famous riders like Yakima Canute,
Calgary Red, Hugh Strickland, Hippy
Burmeister from California and
Lloyd Coleman of Miles City, who
won the contest last year, have al
ready entered to ride in Bozeman.
Famous Ropers
Famous ropers like Joe Gardner,
Fred Beeson and Eddie Burgess are
coming with their trained rope horses
from southern Texas and lady riders
of national reputation, like Ruth
Roach, Lorena Tricky, Mabel Hall,
Kite Canute and many more will
show that sex is no barrier when it
comes to mounting a bad horse.
From the gulf coast of Texas a
car of Brahma bucking steers, a
cross between the sacred cattle of
India and the Texas longhorn, are
already in Bozeman. These steers
are wonderful buckers and danger

To prevent possible serious accidents
the steers horns will all be knobbed
this year. These steers are faster
and more powerful than even the
Mexican breed and it is a good rider
who can sit one for sixty seconds.

gorgeously equipped tribe in the
northwest, will be in BOzeman with
all their trappingS. These Indians
were at the show last year and con-
tributed largely to its success.
Worst Horse on Range
Keen interest is being taken in the
performance of 'Clear Range a
gray bucking horse shipped to Boze-
man by express from Los Vegas,
New Mexico. This horse is said to be
the worst horse in the entire south
west country and his equal as a
bucker has not been seen since the
days of Cheyenne's famous Steam
boat. A number of northern horses
of considerable promise are also be-
ing groomed to go after the big
stake offered for the worst bucking
horse.
All sorts of races, including lum-
boring stage coaches that used to
make the trip from Corinne, Utah,
Indian boys on fleet ponies, cowboys,
cowgirls, fat Indian squaws and
races this year will arouse a deal of
local interest as the entries so Iaf
come mostly from Montana outfits,
the last of the big ranches.
A roundup festival like the one to
be held next week in Bozeman is
than merely a thrilling spec
,acle, it is an educational affair. 1t
keeps alive those traditions which
AVE had so much to do in building
he Treasure state, it p~erpetuates the
customs of our fathers; it provides
lean - if perilous - red-blooded
port. Days of excitement, nights of
,leasure, spent in hospitable Boze-
nan-that is what the Gallatin is
'ffering to Montana. 1t is more than
spectacle-it is one chance in {
ear to turn back the pages of his
DRY for a whole generation.

MOTHER HEN KILLS MARAUDING
HAWK IN BATTLE OVER CHICKS

The mother instinct of an old hen
and her victory over a large hawk
which was attempting to capture one
of her little ones, is the subject of
the following story:
The hen belongs to Mrs. Siders,
proprietor of the Columbia Falls de-
pot restaurant. A hawk, described
by Ned Bryant, local taxidermist and
authority on birds and animals, as
a Cooper hawk, swooped down upon
the flock of chickens one day last
week and the commotion which fol-
lowed brought Mrs. Siders to the
door, where she witnessed an unusual
occurrence.
"Old Biddy" bravely attacked the
hawk and although badly scared b.
the intruder, finally struck the hawk
in such a manner as to break its
back and her offsprings were saved.

While perhaps it was fur traders
the stockmen who first made perman-
ent settlement in the state and start
ed the development which has made
Montana n of the premier agri-
cultural states of the union. 1t was
they who built the first homes in the
wilderness and who for the duration
of the range business, lived like feu-
dal barons on their vast estates.
Much of the romance and tradition
that is Montana's, much of the glory
and not a little of the wealth came as
a result of the vast herds which
roamed the prairies and mountain
valleys of the Treasure state.
In this more prosaic age, when
livestock boundaries are fixed by
barb wire fences, when farming ra-
ther than ranching is the pursuit of
our agrarian people, when wheat
greens the old bunch grass levels and
the big outfits in the state can be
counted on the fingers of ones
hands, the cowboy and all that per-
tanned to ranch life in the older,
wilder and perhaps freer days, are
fast becoming things of the past. 1t
is only at the big roundup festivals,
held in a few places in the west, that
can see the most exciting and
daring parts of the life that was once
universal in this state. There the
worst outlaw horses, the best riders,
the fastest steers-in fact the best
performers at cowboy sports in all
the west, gather for the ever popu-
lar contest of human skill and
brain against equine strength and
q%uickness.
Truly Western Sport
These roundup festivals are a
thing peculiar to the west and enjoy
ed to the fullest extent only by west
ern people. If one is so cold bIooded
to take no thrill in a spirited con-
test, if the sight of beautiful horses
and graceful riders awakes no atavis-
tic answer, if the call of the old west
gets no response, they have no bust
ness at a roundup. But for those of
who know and love Montana, who
ire proud of the state, both as it is
.oday and as it was a generation ago,
whose spirit harkens to the thud of
hoofs, the squeal of the
,awling mare, the thud of the falling {
teer; for those who love life aud
daring and skill, the roundup '
Lolds an attraction found at no other |
ort of festival. r
And that is what is being offered 9

AS GOOD AS CASH

GOOD AS LEGAL TENDER FOR
PAYING CONTRACTORS.
Attorney General Holds That No
Discount Must Be Given; Four
Opinions on Various Subjects
Handed Down; Use of Word 'Sav-
ings in Companies Titles.

County highway bonds may legally
be given by the board of commission
ers to a contractor in lieu of cash
payment for road work Attorney Gen
eral Wellington d. Rankin held in an
opinion issued at the request OF
George w. Lanstrum, state highway
commissioner.
The attorney general adds, how
ever, that there must be no discount
on the par value of the bonds. The
law requiring receipt of face value of
these securities is violated the opin-
ion says, if the contractor is permit
ted to increase his bid in anticipa-
ton of disposing of the bonds at less
than par.
A recent decision of the state SUI
preme court in the Helena paving
case is cited by the attorney general
in support of the ''par value phase
of his ruling.
Registered Warrants First.
In another opinion the attorney
general rules that county warrants
presented to the treasurer and not
paid for lack of funds must be paid
before non-registered warrants, even
though the latter may have been is
sued first. He quotes the law re-
quiring payment of warrants in "the
