A number of the sheep men of Val
ley county met on Thursday at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms and or
ganized an association. The name of
the organization decided upon will be
known as the Valley County Wool
Growers association.
Carl J. Anderson of Opheim was
elected temporary chairman; B. P.
Langen was elected temporary secre-
tary and treasurer.
The temporary secretary, B. P.
Langen, was selected as a delegate to
represent the Valley county organiza-
tion at the state meeting of wool
growers that will be held at Helena
on Saturday, March 18th.
Murray E. Stebbins, county agent,
addressed the meeting and explained
the plan of the state organization. He
stated that the sheep business was one
of the principal industries of the state
of Montana and that the association as
being planned by the wool growers Of
the state was very essential and should
prove beneficial in many ways. Mr..
Stebbins stated that from the data he
had gathered he found that there was

In committee of the whole the house
acted favorably on H. B. 16, providing
deficiency claim for the defunct state
owned terminal elevator. Representa-
tive Cooney explained that all of the
deficiency had been paid except $442
which was due to the Montana Record
Herald and the Great Falls Leader for
printing notices. The bill was killed
Wednesday and reconsidered.
Battle Over "Blue Sky"
Four two hours and half the house
fought over the meaning Of provisions
of S. B. 5, the "blue sky" law and what
additional powers the law gave to the
Montana railroad commission. Several
amendments were accepted and the
house was surprised when Buell. said
the bill had "too much undigested
stuff with which to cucumber the stat
utes of our state" and he moved to
strike out the enacting clause. O'Hara
supported the bill and offered sub
stitute motion that the bill be con-
Cured in. Executive argument followed
and Cavanaugh wound up another at
tack on the bill, also moving to strike
the enacting clause. Dillavou also op-
posed the bill saying the investigating
powers of the investment commission
which the bill created, went too far.
Cavanaugh's motion to strike lost.
He got the floor again and argued
against the bill and was followed by
McQuarrie who said it merely meant
more work for lawyers. Buell. said
that he was in favor of "blue sky"
law which would "legislate to the point
and not be trouble breeder"
''Protection Against Sharks"
Silver then moved that action on
the bill be indefinitely postponed. Mac
Donald of Flathead supported the bill
and said that without this measure
people would be at the mercy of
sharks.
Gels opposed him, saying it would
only stifle industry in this state, and
he added not only oil, but other lines
and twill drive legitimate business
from the state"
McQuarrie said the bill was only
"another snooper bill"
Dillavou attacked the bill saying it
made the railroad commission, as the
investment commission eX-officio, the
brains for investors and moved that
the bill be sent back to the judiciary
committee with instructions to bring
out more simple bill. The motion
carried.

MAR CAR FARMS SHOW
SPLENDID STOCK HERE

The stock show and sale conducted
by the Mar Car Farms with William
Powers in charge held in this city last
Saturday was poorly attended on ac-
count of the severe weather and heavy
SHOWS. The Mar Car stock is well
worth going miles to see and the far
mers who braved the weather and
came to Glasgow on the sale day We're
we'll rewarded for their efforts. Mr..
Powers advises that they will likely
put on another stock show in Glasgow
some time the coming fall.

to general file.
Only Six Deputies.
The was amended to make it the
duty of the secretary of state to issue
licenses and permits and perform all
duties other than those Of enforcement

ment deputies to six, and instead of
leaving their appointment to the at
torney general, provides they shall be
appointed by the state board of ex-
aminers.

from one to six months.
Without discussion the senate adopt
ed the adverse report of the judiciary

dcial district
Rough for Blue Sky Law.
After refusing to concur in senate
amendments cutting the proposed per
cent tax on oil, as provided in H. B.
l, to one percent, the house went to
the mat Thursday in argument over
the merits and dement's of S. B. 5, the
"blue sky" law for two hours and a
half and finally, after making a few
minor amendments, sent the bill to the
judiciary committee with instructions
to draw a more simple bill.
After the house had heard the SEN
ate amendments to HR. B. l, Dillavou
moved that the house do not concur.
Gels moved as substitute that the
house do concur. Johnson of Deer
Lodge asked for a call of the house,
which was suspended after every mem
ber was accounted for and nearly all
were present. The vote to concur
failed, 80 to "a, with II absent, vote
almost identical to that by which the
house passed the 3 per cent tax. The
chair then appointed conference COM
mittee composed of Shoemaker of yell
lowstone, Gillette and Dunbar.
Concur In Coal Tax.
The house adopted senate amend
ments to H. B. 9, providing tax of 5
cents ton on coal imported into the
