McCone County Farmers
Want Great Northern to
Extend Promised Cutoff

Circle, Notwithstanding on At
torney General Ranldn's suggestion,
the McCone county farm bureau, at
its recent meeting in Circle, instruct
ted the secretary to get in touch with
all the bureau secretaries of the
state and see if they would cooper
ate with the Circle bureau in getting
slgners for an initiative measure that
would empower the state railroad
commission to force railroads to
make extensions that are necessary
for the proper development of GER
tain sections. This has particular
reference to the LewistOwn-New
Rockford cutoff on the Great North
en through the county.
The country along the proposed
road is splendid fer farming and
stock raising, and is claimed to be
equal to any in eastern Montana. 1t
is cOntended that it was settled with
promise from the Hall interests
that a railroad would be built. The
coming Of the war stopped construc-
ton that had been made as far as
Richey. This leaves a large area
many miles from railroad.
August Hamelau and Alpheus
Martinsen were reelected as presi-
dent and secretary treasurer Of the
McCOne County farm bureau.

April starts with a storm period
central the 4th with strong cOmbina-
tions and will probably bring more
snow in many localities. The next is
central the 10th, but much weaker,
also one central the 10Th, not very
strong but may bring precipitation
late in the period and a reactiOnary
period central the 21st with proba-
bility of precipitation in some locali-
ties and a regular storm period cen
trail the 9th, which is long but not
strong for this locality. We look for
considerable cold backward weather
but some warm days near the mid
die Of the month.
We lock for more settled, clear
weather for May and June and July
The weather will not be as favorable
for growing crops all through as
the last three years.
Although there is good combina-
tions for rain the first half OF

cor WISE IN FALL

Certain officials of the county got
wise to the fact that very suspicious
things were taking place in the Of
flee of the Clerk & Recorder last
fall. 1t was a little after this that
the O'Gradys became aware that they
were being suspected and commenced
to backfire on different officers of
Sheridan county and to spread all
sorts of libel in order to put people
off from the seed grain scent. 1t
was then that a definite investigation
was set on foot that has since re-
suited in sensational discoveries.
JOINED HANDS WITH STORKAN
When DR.. Storkan got into trouble,
O'Grady Immediately joined hands
with him and became one of the
leading spirits in the launching of
the Sheridan County Farmer, in the
hopes of making an attack upon
other officials and the Producers
News in order to draw a red herring
across his own tracks. Since that
time he has been the chief advisor of
Editor March of the Sheridan COun-
ty Farmer and furnished the alleged
information" to Burley Bowler, who
left the employ Of the Scobey Sen
tinel Under very serious suspicious,
on which that gentleman based his
recent attack upon Editor Taylor, Ole
Moe and Dan Olson. Mr.. O'Grady
has been since the Sheridan County
Farmer became the property of the
Farmers & Merchants Publishing
Company, in which concern he is re
ported to hold considerable stock in
constant communication with the
factors behind that paper and has
been seen at divers times in whisper
ed conversation with Editor March.
The Producers News has suggested
several times to the people behind
the Sheridan County Farmer that
they ought to investigate the Sheri-
dan County Seed Grain Collections as
they had made a pretense of stand
ing for honesty in administration of
public affairs but they did net seem
to be interested.
MAKES AFFIDAVITS
This O'Grady who seems to have
misapprOpriated this money belong
ing to Sheridan county is the same
O'Grady who last week made an af-
fidavit that Editor Taylor approach
ed him and asked him to substitute
contracts in the transfer of the
printing contract, which affidavit was
printed together with an erlogy of
Mr.. 0Grady by Editor March in the
Sheridan County Farmer and by
Burley Bowler in Bennett & Stevens

with the state banking department
and that Shelton recommended his
appointment. The appointment OF
cashiers Of defunct banks as receiver
as a policy is also claimed to meet
with the approval with Gov. Dixon
and Bank Examiner Shelton who are
said to take almost a fatherly inter
est in the administration of some of
these defunct banks which they al
lowed to run for couple of years
after they were aware that they were
insolvent.
Something Putrid
From stories told of the doings al

thing pUtrid in Denmark. which some
Of our high officials are assisting in
smothering if possible. It seems if
a crime is committed by a banking
gent in Shindrleao. .Hsn RCis ertOe
gent in Sheridan county that he is
perfectly safe. There is a question
of how long the people are going to
stand this before taking some ade-
quate action. The man at the head
Of the Antelope bank has been in
dicted by grand jury at Williston
as has also the man at the head OF
the Farmers State Bank of Medicine
Lake. ar ct
1t is thought by many that the
appointing eff cashiers as receivers
of defunct banks is a part of DELHI
crate conspiracy of the bankers and
certain high and powerful officials to
prevent the bringing of crooks to
justice: that it is sort of a teapot
dome affair.
