ward swing in hog prices continues.
>Today's advance was % to 80 cents

another high position for the year
and placed hogs well above the $l2,00

Beef Cattle
The few good to choice fat steers
offered today sold readily at firm
prices. Light weight steers sold up

claring his opposition to Senate Con-
current Memorial, passed by the legis-
lature, asking the government for an
additional endowment of land of S.
100000 acres for highways and state
institutions. The secretary points out
that Arizona has already received up
ward of 100000 acres of land from
the government, in addition totcertain
railroad bonds issued in territorial
days, and frankly states that he can
not consistently support a request for
additional acreage.
The appropriation committee Of the

It is probable that a measure for
the relief Of the cattlemen will be
asked for in a separate bill. Senator
Hardy in the course of the discussion
made clear statement of the sore

of climatic conditions would be un-
able to meet their loans now as they

IN THE ST4TE
LEGISLATURE
CONTINUED from Page Two)

Two traffic regulation bills were
introduced by Senator Cox last week,
One creates the office of commissioner
of motor vehicles and makes county
assessors deputy commissioners. 1t
provides for the issuance Of permits
to owners of vehicles and to drivers
and also provides for the revocation
of them for violations of the law and
in certain cases for the sequestration
of vehicles for the period OF a year.
A permit may not be issued to a
minor under the age of Is, except for
special reasons. One guilty OF driving
a car while under the influence Of
liquor or drugs suffers not only the
punishment prescribed for violations
Of the law including fine OF mprison-
ment or both and the revocation Of his
permit, but the additional punish
ment of the sequestration Of his car.
For this offense one may be fined
$500 and sent to jail for so days, the
same penalty being imposed upon one
for driving car after the revocation
or suspension Of his permit. The bill
repeals none of the existing laws for
the regulation Of motor traffic.
The other bill by Mr.. Cox makes
any speed on the highway outside of
the corporate limits of any town, in
excess Of 80 miles an hour unlawful.
It requires all vehicles on the public
highway between one hour after sum
set and one hour before sunrise, to be
lighted in both front and rear.

Some optimists declared that the
roads net profits for the year will
reach 81, ,40O,000,000 They are prob
ably too enthusiastic. S1,2OO,OOO, 900
would likely be nearer the mark.
During the war the Federal Gov
ernment paid the railroads an annual
rental of $90O,0O0,0O0.
Senator Cummins of Iowa declared
this was so high that it shocked the
moral sense of mankind" and sug-
gested that $7OO,OOO,OOO year would
be ample.
Now, the same railroads are in a
fair way to clean up from S500,OOO.-
900 to S700,000,000 more than Sena-
tor Cummins regarded as a reason
able return.
In addition, the roads have other
sources of revenue which will bring
the min between $300,000,000 and
100000, 900.

Out in the Northwest, the North

The Great Northern's profits went

Even the st. Paul showed an IN

SUNDAY DANCE LAW
TO BE TESTED BE-
FORE SUPREME COURT

Montana Supreme court will give
its opinion of Montana's Sunday
dance law when it reccnvenes later
this month, after the summer vaca-
tion period. Joseph Klume, who on
crates a dance hall known as the
Castle, in Butte, has asked the SUI
preme court for writ of habeas cor
pus to free him from the custody of
the sheriff of Silver Bow county.
The suit is friendly one. Klume
was arrested ON a charge of violat-
ing the law by operating a public
dance (which was not held III a public
park or Fairgrounds where no admis-
sion is charged" He petitioned the
district court of Silver Bow county
for a writ of habeas corpus which
was denied. He then brought his
plea to the supreme court.
His argument is a general one:
that the complaint does not state
facts sufficient to constitute a public
offense, but the question is said to
rest on whether the statute, which
says there shall be no Sunday dane
ing where liquor is served, is appli-
cable to present day conditions.
It will be remembered that a SINH
lar case against the proprietor of the
Welliver Dance Hall was tried here
recently, when the defendant was ac-
Quilted.

GIANT LIQUOR
STILL SEIZED
NEAR SNOWDEN
THREE MEN, BELIEVED TO BE
FROM DAKOTA, CAPTURED BY
RAIDERS.

Wolf Point.-DiscOvery and seizure
Of a mammoth moonshine distillerv
by Sheriff John H. Anderson, Deputy
Sheriff Charles Council and Deputy
County Attorney A. M. Foor was
made at Snowden, Roosevelt county,
Saturday afternoon. Part of the out
fit was brought to the county Jail
here Sunday in three big trucks. It
is undoubtedly the biggest and most
complete outfit ever seized in this
part of the state.
In the loads of equipment and ma
terial brought here were 27 kegs and
six barrels, nearly all full of liquid
of some kind. Two copper stills and
worms of unusual size, three water
tank pumps, pressure tanks for gaso-
line burners, large glass demijOhns,
water hose, copper pipe, jugs, corks,
cooking utensils and $500 pound
sacks of cane sugar. Sheriff Ander-
son says much other stuff had to be
left at the place of discovery, in
Guiding several barrels of gasoline
and two big wooden tanks Of cracked
corn mash. The outfit was found in
a dugout in the thick brush close to
the Missouri river, just below the
Great Northern railroad bridge, and
about two miles from the Snowden.

three men were arrested. They are

The Coolidge administration has
placed tariff of AZ cents a bushel on
wheat in order to protect" the
American farmer. The Canadian
farmers have no protection and do
not want any.
Instead of a tariff they are depend
ing on cooperation on-marketing their
crop through a "pool' which appar-
emily is receiving very earnest sup
port from the Provincial Governments
OF the prairie provinces, Manitoba,
Alberta and Saskatchewan.
The "POOI in Operation
The Canadian wheat pool has been
described by some observers as "ap-
plying big business to farming" It's
similarity to trade unicnism, however,
is perhaps equally marked.
Each farmer pools the product of
his labor with that of the other farm
ers Of his province in order to obtain
better prices for his work. The farm
er pledges himself to sell his entire
wheat crop to a central selling agen-
cy. He turns over to the agency the
right to hold his wheat, to "hedge."
or to sell it at whatever time seems
to be most advantageous, and he

from these sales.

SAUER IS SORE AT
WALKDEN AND DOG
Book Agent Swears Out Warrant for Arrest of Raymond
Farmer After Row in Which Dog Joined-AIIeges Dog
Started to Eat Him Up from the Rear While Walkden
Fought Him In FrOnt-Case to Come Up Soon

Louis Sauer was sore in body as
well as in name after he emerged
from an encounter early this week,
with q farmer named Sam Walkden,
who lives north of Raymond.
Bitten By Dog
His coat and pants were torn and
blood dripped from the lacerated
flesh Of his leg bit into by an angry
dog that came to the rescue of his
master.
Sauer appeared before Justice Oh
sen and told a woeful story of his
run in" with the angry farmer. First
the Judge thought he was a crop
grabber and was wondering how he
escaped without having some small
shot embedded in the rear end of his
anatomy.
Refuses Sauer's Book
Sauer, however, turned out to be a
book agent bent on educating the
farmer by some wonderful treatise
on agriculture. He claims Mr.. Walk
den ordered the book and when he
to deliver and collect, the
farmer would neither take nor pay.
He started to expOstulate but the
farmer apparently repeated the crop
grabber danger cry "Get to hell off
my place." AS he did net start to
move quick enough he stated, Walk
den started to move him by main
force. While Walkden was fighting
him from he front he claims Walk
den's dog began to chew him up
from behind.
Said He Saw Shotgun.
Being unable to stand this kind of
hospitality any longer he executed a
strategic retreat. He was not turned
into a pillar of salt like Lots wife
when she looked back. Instead he
alleged he saw a shotgun in the
hands of the farmer and kept NOV
ing.
He now wants Walkden arrested
and tried for third degree assault.

FLOUR MILL BOUGHT
BY ANDY HANSEN
Local Miller Gets Complete Control
of Plant He Has Operated for
Number of Years.

The complete control Of the Plen-
tywOod Flour Mill passed into the
hands of Andrew Hansen by purchase
this week. Mr.. Hansen is now in a
position to put in a number of i'm
provements in his plant, and will dc
so at an early date.
-Four years ago when the mill
was reopened after being idle for
many years, wheat was below 81 per
bushel but flour was selling in Plen-
tywood for nearly the same price as
now with wheat above $780," said
Mr.. Hansen.
Besides the people of this locality
have the advantage of getting mill
feed at low price at their doors.
The demand for the mill feed now
is more than the mill can supply"
The Plentywood Milling Company,
besides milling flour for farmers
puts a very high grade of flour on
the market here.
Mr.. Hansen is a very popular
young bus4-.ess man Of this ;ty End
his many friends both in the city and
country feel assured that he will make
a big success of the mill since taking
the mill into his full possession.

SALISBURY And
ERICKSON SQUELCH
LAWBREAKERS

Sheriff Salisbury and his de-
puties and County Attorney
Erickson raided three places in
COmertOwn Saturday night. but
found evidences of a breach of
the state prohibition law in only
one house. This was in a shack
run by Slim Gladys who had a
small quantity of 'MOOn'' in his
possession. There were several
complaints that outside gold
brickers were operating in Com
ertOwn but if still there. they
make themselves invisible during
the visit of the officers.
The Sheriff and County At
tOrney also visited RedstOne and
had the cooperation of several To-
cal citizens in cleaning up" the
town. Both the officers visited
two places local citizens objected
to and ordered them closed.
Rev. Norton thanked the officers
for the effective work they ac-
cOmplished in so effectually rid
ding the town of Objectionable
places and characters without
putting the county to expense.
This is the most effective kind of
police duty. Rev. Norton and a
few other citizens ere thanked
in return by SheriS alisbury for
their high sense of civic duty in
cooperating with the officers in
squelching crime at its source.
