SUPREME COURT ORDERS
ROOSEVELT CANVASSING
BOARD TO COUNT THE
THROWN OUT PRECINCTS
Board Must Reconvene and Count Precincts 21 and 38
Which Makes Wolf Point the County Seat.
CONTEST OF ELECTION WILL NOW BE INSTITUTED

According to a message received to-
day, Friday, from Poplar, the SUI
preme Court of the state of Montana
decided this morning, that the Can
vassing Board Of Roosevelt County
must convene, and count precincts 8
z8 and 81, which that Board had
thrown out on the grounds that rhe
election in those precincts were void
because in two precincts, the polling
fIaces had been changed from one
building to another and in the third
precinct, because the voting place had
been changed from one place to an
other and had actually occurred on the
Indian Reservation or government
land which it contended voided the
election. The Supreme Court evident
ly did not take this contention seri-
ously as the mandate prayed for by
Wolf Point was granted.
The case was argued N the Su-
preme court last Monday by George
Hurd for Wolf Point and George
Bangs of Grand Forks for Poplar.
There will be an election contest
instituted now sure, it is reported by
persons familiar with the plans of
Poplar. However, unless Poplar can
figure out some other way to bring
about a delay, the county seat will
hae to be moved to Wolf Point with
in ten days after the Canassing Board
meets and a certificate of election is
granted to Wolf Point. Poplar claims
it can show wholesale election frauds
on the part of Wolf Point and it is
claimed that it has numerous affida-
Wits of the illegal act.

Record Unsayory
| While former Senator Booth has
long been figure in Montana, his re-
cord is not one that would make saw
ory reading. He is best known to
the people because Of his activities in
the last session of the legislature. At
that time he, with Edwards of Rose
bud and Donlan of Missoula, was one
Of the leaders of the copper bloc which
halted all attempts at tax reform.
Booth was not a candidate for re-
election to the senate, but practically
every one of his colleague of the COP
per bloc was defeated by his consti-
tuents at the last election.
The prospective appointment of Mr.
Booth as federal judge has aroused
intense feeling among the members Of
the bar in all parts of the state. Pro-
tests have been heard from every
where. Several prominent attorneys
are reported to have taken up the
matter with Scott Leavitt, recently
elected congressman from the Second
district, who is considered the only
Montanan with the inclination and
power to halt the appointment. Sena-
tor Walsh, Senator-elect Wheeler and
Congressman-eIe Evans are all De-
mocrats and members of the minority
party, and would have little influence
with the Harding administration in
the matter of appointments.
TRY TO PACK COURTS
The appointment of % new federal
judges, under the new act of congress,
and at least one new justice of the
supreme court are among the import
ant. matters to be considered by the
present extraordinary session of con-
gress. 1t is expected that an attempt
will be made to pack the courts with
reactionaries before the newly elected,
progressive senators and congressman
take office

6. N. SYSTEM
BREAKING DOWN
Unable to Furnish Grain or Cattle
Cars and Trains are Running Late
Again-Complete Collapse Expected
AS Cold Weather Sets In.
RESULT OF LABOR CRUSHING

Organized action is being taken by
the people of the northwest in pro-
test Of the conditions being brought
about in this country as the result
of the general breakdown of the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
Railroad systems, which railroads as
a direct result Of the labor fighting
policy Of those railroads and the re-
fusal of those companies to grant the
just demands of their workers as
many other railroads have done, are
absolutely breaking down and are un-
able to function as common carriers,
being unable as result of their stub
born policy Of crushing their labor, of
furnishing either grain or cattle cars
to the farmers of the northwest, thus
bringing about business paralysis
In the grain growing and cattle rails
ing sections of the northwest. It is
anticipated that both of the above
systems will actually break down I'M
der the cold weather sets in. People
all over Montana are telegraphing to
Washington urging congressional
investigation of the intolerable condi-
tions existing in this section of the
country as the result of the nonfunc-
tioning of railroads and it is expected
that such an investigation will short
ly occur
just as an example Of the condi-
tions of the Great Northern we print
a report from the Shop Crafts at Wolf
Point which says:
Trains continue to run late
d0gcatching and engine failure
the order of the day. Some engi-
neers have got in their mileage by
dogcatching and not taking en-
gine out of the round house."

ITPAYS TOADVERTISE'
Many Local Merchants Taking Ad-
vantage of the Chance to Make
Money By Telling the People What
They Have to Sell Through the Col
umns of the Producers News.
MERCHANTS MAKE
REMARKABLE SALES

That it pays to advertise and to adj
vertise in the columns of the Produc-
ers News, the farmer owned paper
with circulation twice as large as all
Of the other. papers in Sheridan coun-
paper in the state of Montana, is be-
ing learned by the merchants of Sheri-
dan county in a practical test, this
fall
Starting last Saturday, Kollman
Kompany of PlentyWood and the Kelly
Mercantile Company of Dooley and
N. J. Nelson store of Outlook have
advertised sales in a big way in the
Producers News exclusively and all of
the concerns using these columns have
received big results, thus demonstrate
ing that the business going to the
mail order houses can be secured by
the local merchants if they only go
after it in the way that the mail or
der houses go after business; namely
by putting the prices down, and tell
ing the world about what they have
for sale. The results indicate that
Plentywood can be made town and
real trading center if the merch-
ants only want it and have the cour-
age and ability to try something
they have the courage to throw some
bread upon the water
The Producers News has been in
formed by Mr. Albert Kollman that
Saturday was the biggest day from
the point of sales ever experienced by
that firm during their business history
in Plentywood and Sheridan county.
The paper is also informed that the
Kelly Mercantile Company of Dooley
has been attending to a packed store
all of the week and that business is
increasing every day, crowds coming
from all over the county to take ad-
vantage of the bargains which they
are offering. Big ads of these two
firms can be found in this weeks issue
of this paper, and it will surely pay to
read them
The N. J. Nelson Company of Out
look is also advertising a big sale
in the Producers News, which started
Monday and will last until Saturday,
December 18th, and the store has
been doing record breaking business
which gets better every day. In this
paper that firm has a good ad.
This week ''The New Store" John
Palubicki, proprietor, is putting on
big sale which will start Saturday,
December End, and last until Satur-
day, December 9th. This sale is being
put on under a different plan than the
other. Mr.. Palubicki has couple of
expert salesmen here managing the
sale and the store is closed today
dolling up and making the proper ar
rangements for the big trade which
it is anticipating. The New Store is
carrying fine stock of Dry Goods
and Ladies Dresses, Suits and Cloaks
which it is showing, besides many
sundry articles. There are out thous-
ands Of bills printed in red and white
advertising the sales which have been
sent to nearly everybody in the coun-
ty.
The results of these activities viii
show the merchants of Plentywood
and Sheridan county what can be ac-
somplished If they only wake UP and
go after the business

lation by Mr.. Dolin through his attor-
ney Paul Babcock and the attorneys
for Tyler and Ibsen, Messrs. Wheeler
& Baldwin and Vollum & Paul, thel
case was submitted to the court on
briefs without argument. The SUI
preme court sustained Judge Conner in
quashing the Indictment. Mr.. Dolim
will have to pay the costs. 4
It was in connection with this case,
