But if our statesmen who want to
help the farmer by increasing the
price of farm products can figure
out any way of either increasing
home consumption or foreign con-
sumption they will do the farmer
far more service than they will DO
by any scheme to increase his Dor
rowing power and put him still
further in debt.
There is some talk at Washing
ton about substituting the farmer
as they propose to subsidize the
ship owners, and make his business
more profitable by levying a tax
on all other classes of citizens to
change his Improbable business
into a profitable business. All
such subsidized industry kept alive
by special taxes in their behalf are
bad in principle, and in the end
must result in general disaster. We
cannot lift ourselves by pulling on
our own boot straps.

USING sAWDUsT AND OTHER DUST

a way was found to eliminate the bulk
Of the poisonous dust from the flue
gases. The white arsenic thus col
lected aggregates thousands of toms
annually and it is devoted to many use
full purposes. 1t is converted into pig
ments. compounds of value in medicine
and in the dye industry, and into in
secticides for spraying orchards, vine
yards and gardens.
There is one kind of dust that every
body has Always been more than anxious
to utilize, and that is gold dust. If
any of that goes to waste 1t is because
it cannot be avoided. In all the varied
mining processes and wherever gold
is handled in the minis or in the arts
every %precaution is taken to conserve
every particle of the precious metal.
In fact, dust is gathered and saved that
is so fine that it is little more than
color"
In placer mining all the gold is
dust" but it occurs in scales, grains
or nuggets. and all the particles are
smooth and rounded, thus differing
from vein gold, which is sharp and ir-
regular. The nuggets have varied in
size from small grains to one found in
Australia that weighed 2,52O ounce
and was worth about $4,000. APP
proximately enough this nugget was
christened welcome Stranger" The
largest nugget found in California
weighed $50 ounces. Russia has pro-
duced one of 96 ounces and the kion-
dixie one of IS ounces. By far the
greatest proportion of the gold. recov-
cred, however, is in medium and fine
dust.
Where gold is handled in large guam
titles all sweepings and al dust col
lected by acuum ceaners is saved, for
it contains minute particles of gold
that in the aggregate and in the long
run amount to large sums. Even the
clothes worn by those who handle the
gold are mined" at stated intervals.

AMENDED RETURNS
ESTABLISH WINNER
IN COUNTY BATTLE
Wolf Point Officially Replaces
Poplar as Seat of Roose-
welt by 1872 Votes.
{Trihune's Helena Rureau1

Helena, Dec. 6.-Unless a contest
that should be waged in the courts at
some future date will change the re-
suits, Wolf Point, instead of Poplar,
will become the permanent county seat
of Roosevelt county, according to the
amended official election returns re-
ceived by Secretary Of State Charles
It. Stewart on Tuesday morning from
Clerk and Recorder John G. Dryer
in Poplar.
The amended official abstract shows
that Wolf Point is the winner by a
majority of 1872 votes over Poplar
which now is the temporary county
seat. The amended abstract of votes
is due to a recent order from the su-
preme court which required a count
by the county ~canvassing board OF
the votes in three precincts which
the board had originally refused to
count, for the reason that it vas
claimed the polling places in two pre-
cincts had been situated in buildings
not designated for that purpose, and
that the polling place for the third
precinct at first thrown out had been
situated on Indian territory.
With those three precincts not
counted Poplar was considered to have
been elected the permanent county
seat by q majority of SO votes. the to-
tails without those precincts being L.
797 in favor of Poular as against L.
70S for Wolf Point. After the three
precincts had been counted under order
of the court, Poplar gained only IA
votes. while Wolf Point gained 295,
leaving the totals zoos for Wolf Point,
as against 1911 for Poplar.
Assistants for the state board of ex-
aminers are still engaged in tabulat-
ing the official returns by counties of
the votes for state officials, and it is
not expected the tabulation viii be
completed before late Wednesday.

Five Wives Granted
DEGREES of Divorce:
One Hubby Gets Bill
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Butte, Dec. 6.-Five divorce com
plants were filed Tuesday by unhappy
wives. Cruelty and failure to provide
are the. grounds in all cases.
One divorce decree was granted. one
separate maintenance decree signed,
Il decree granted several weeks ago
was filed for record, and in another
case wherein a divorce decree had
been granted in 1916, Judgment for
$4863.49 and costs of $50 were en-
tered against the defendant.
In the latter case, the defendant, G.
W. Merrilies. signed 81 notes of $40
each when his wife secured a divorce
March 20, 1916. She told the court
that he had paid only the first two
notes, and the amount Of the judgment
entered was for the balance of the
notes with interest.
In all nine divorce actions were be-
fore the court in some form or other
which caused Clerk Driscoll to remark
that it was a good thing for Butte
that SO many divorce actions were be-
ing started as the other law business
