DARBY BREAKS LEG

Chas. Darby, Of this place met
with serious accident last Friday
night. While returning to his room
at the Hotel, Mr.. Darbys crutches
slipped on some ice, and he fell down
breaking the bone in his left leg
above the knee.
Mr.. Darby, was taken to Glendive
Saturday by DR.. and Mrs. Rumble, and
we understand it was planned to have
the leg amputated on Tuesday, be-
cause the leg he broke was one
that has been defective since a
small boy, and caused him to con-
stantly use crutches.
Mr.. Darby has been employed in
the County Clerks office for several
years and has a large number of
friends who all hope for a speedy
recovery.

General Rankin
Demands Railroad Extension
Authority of State 10 Compel Road
To Build viii be Tested In
Court

The authority of the state to COM
pei roads to extend lines is acclaimed
In proceeding instituted by Attorney
General Rankin to force the Nor
thern Pacific railroad to build spur
from its main line to the town OF
Stevensville.
The suit. which is filed in the dis
trict court of Ravalli county, brings
up a legal point of grave interest
throughout the state and promises to
become an extenuated court battle.
The attorney general takes the
view that roads should be forced to
build lines when it Is shown that
they "are a necessity to properly
serve community and where it will
be profitable to the railroads.
"If railroads can build or not, as
they see fit, the sooner we know it
the BETTER he stated Saturday. AS a
matter of fundamental principle
railroads should be compelled to
build or construct spurs or exten-
sions where it has been determined
after hearing that they can do so at
profit to themselves and to the great
oNi flCt VI NlOhboho
has fewer spurs and branches in pro-
portion to its area than almost any
state in the United States.
In eastern Montana in number
of counties FRAUDULENT literature was
sent out by railroads giving the loca-
tion of proposed railroads, causing
prospective settlers to believe that
roads would be built within a reason
able time, that haven't been built,
though as much as 10 years have
transpired since they were induced
by the railroads to come and settle
in certain counties, such as McCone,
Garfield. northern Valley and others.
When railroads advertise proposed
roads and then refuse to build i!len
after the country Is settled, knc ing
that the settlers must ship over cir
road at some other point, moraliy it
amounts to obtaining money III
false pretenses.
Railroad rates are so unconsc T.
ably high as to amount to almost
criminal robbery and yet the rail-
roads continue to defy legal authority

Of spurs and extensions"

Many Important Topics to be Consid-
ed, Among Them Matter of mi
tatine Law to get Railroad.
Plan to Attend

A meeting of the McCone County
Farm Bureau is called to take place
in Circle at 100 P. M. on Saturday
the 18th day of March, 1924.
All the farmers of the county are
cordially invited to attend this meet
ing, as | deem it important to our
welfare. l also invite the business
men and our county officers to be
present, so we can have their opin-
ions on some topics and also to
create family feeling among us all.
McCone County is essentially an
agricultural county and therefore the
more we cooperate and work toge-
ther, the better it is for all con-
cerned.
The object of this meeting is as
follows:-
/. Election Of officers.
Here l want to state, that last year
a mistake was made, when you
elected me President. You have
found out now that | am too lazy, to
do things and it is therefore high
time to put in a president, that will
do things.
The only thing have done is to
go to our editor, Ben M. Larson, and
talked to him about the Railroad to
Circle and induce him to start things
in the Banner.
That brings me to our second OBJ
ject of the meeting, RAILROAD
TALK. The matter in question is:
Can we initiate a law empowering
the State Railroad Commission to
demand the building of certain
number of miles OF railroad, where
1t is deemed necessary,
Ofcourse it can be done, but we
have to work for it and am willing
to show you how.
Right here is where I want to put
you people In mind, that at the last
election a lot of you did not go to
vote and all those that did not vote,
viii have to register again this
spftng. prs else they cannot vote, and
their s5gaat,tre on osars abroad ~eti-
tions would not count either There
fore, get busy and Register.
The third object is an explanation
of doings In our state legislature by
Barney Carlson. Here, Barney, is a
SPSNacA 1F1IatiOA lOl yOus oO Oul . W
come. We not only want you, we
need you. Take that to heart and
don't dfsappoint us.
The fourth object is an explana-
tion of the Grain Export Corporation
by the secretary of the Bureau.
Fifth: A Free For All discussion
of farm problems in our own county.
(Here Thomas Horsford has a special
invitation to be present as / think
we also need him.
Now, all be sure and remember
the meeting is on Saturday, March
18th at 100 P. M. in Circle, and all
come. We need to get together and
get acquainted and talk things over.
