Railroads Attempt Grab Timber Reserves Provokes Coun

AS Much Out of Grant AS Road Cost to Build.
STAKE WAS WORTH 5O,OOO,OOO DOLLARS

The Forest service of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture and the
Northern Pacific Railroad are engag-
ed in a struggle before a joint con-
gressiOnal committee for a prize val
ued at between $30,0OO,OOO and $780,
100000.
For some reason the newspapers
are paying very little attention to the
case, although the testimony submit
ted is Of the most sensational char
acter.
The government, too, shows dis
position to put the soft pedal on all
suggestions looking to publicity.
RAILROAD influence" is the terse
explanation of those VINO are supposed
to know what is going on behind the
scenes.
GREATEST OF LAND GRANTS
On July 2, 1864, the Northern Pa
cifc Railroad Company received the
most extensive land grant ever given
to any corporation on this hemi-
sphere. Twenty years later a con-
gressional committee described it is
"the most mmifcent of all the
princely donations in the era Of hber.
atty to aid in the construction Of
railroads"
The grant gave the Northern Paci
fic every od0 section of land in {
strip 1900 miles long and from 40 t.
so miles wide, 40 miles in Minnesota
Oregon and part of Wisconsin, anC
SO miles in the then territories 0.
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho anC
Washington.
From this grant the Northern
Pacific is known to have gathered
in profits tOtalling S136,000,00O.
Many more millions were made,
but can not be traced.
The cost Of constructing the roa
is estimated by the government a
$70,OOOOOO.
Thus the known profits of tn
Northern Pacific amount to practical
ly twice as much as the cost of con
structiOn.

Now the Northern Pacific is at

''COOSE HANGS HIGH''
WAS A SCREAM
Packed House Greets Play Presented
By Senior Class of PlentyWOOd
High School.


Through an error this important
news item was overlooked last week,
but this paper is giving it now with
apologies to the Senior class which
gave such a splendid exhibition.
Friday night of last week, the
Senior Glass of the Plentywod High
School presented their class play,
"The Goose Hangs High" to a packed
house, in the Orpheum Theatre in
this city.
The plav was full of mirth and
the large crowd nearly went into hys-
terics with laughter as different
stages of the play presented them
selves while in the background was
deeper feeling portrayed which
struck down deep into the hearts of
the spectators, who witnessed the
play.
It would be hard to pick out the
starts in the play as each Individual
played his or her role in a manner
which would do credit to many pro-
fessionals.
The verdict of the large audience
was that the class play put on by
the Seniors of Plentywood high this
year was among the best ever pre-
sented by Senior class in this city
which is very high tribute.
The members of the faculty who
had charge of the training of the
young actors are to be congratulated
for the manner in which they brought
out the talent of the young men anC
women.
The members of the Senior class
wish to express their thanks for the
hearty cooperation given to them By
the public in attending their per.
formance and thus showing them that
they appreciate the hard training
which they went through in preparing
the drama for the good of the school

that amiable young man has filled so
well in the past.
Both Mr. Moe and Mr.. Moore have
resided in PlentywOod and Sheridan
county number of years and have
made a hest Of friends which will be
a big asset to them in their new
venture, besides they are taking over
a business already established and
which has been one of the most sue
cessful and prosperous of PlentywOod
for the past several years.
The new firm will-continue business
Under the old name and plan on ex-
panding the busines as capital and
conditions will permit until it becomes
one of the large institutions Of Sheri-
dan county, which it will no doubt
become in the fullness of time.
Mr.. Weiss and Mrs. Weiss in the
eight years that Mr.. Weiss has been
in business in Plentywood, have been
successful, and he has been one Of
the leading business men of the coun-
ty seat of Sheridan county and has
been an active factor in the commu-
nifty life of the city, and both have
made host of friends in business
and social circles here who sincerely
regret to see them leave this section
OF the country. Mr.. and Mrs. Weiss
were married and both of their child
rem were born in this city after MI.
Weiss entered business here.

The opinion is regarded as one Of
the most interesting in the history Of
liquor prosecution. On March 1, 1924
z. R. Small, a state prohibition en-
forcement officer, was Investigating
conditions at Sheridan, Madison coun-
tv. where he introduced himself as
"1Ir. Ross" according to the opinion.
Under the assumed name he met
Milton ]. Murray, who introduced
him to the defendant, Ed Redmond at
the Jasper Cox pool hall about 9:30
that night. Small asked Redmond if
he could get a bottle and Redmond
replied in the affirmative. Redmond
went around the corner of the build
ing followed by Small, the prohibition
agent asking Murray to wait. Red
mond then told Small not to go furth-
er and to send Murray back.
Small followed Redmond around
two corners of the building. Redmond
went into the rear of the building and
procured a bottle of whisky. The
building from which the liquor was
taken to where Small was standing
was about 20 feet distant. Small paid
him $3.50 for the bottle after an ar
gument, the enClre transaction fequlf-
ing about five minutes.
Based on Amendment.
"By the eighteenth amendment to
the constitution which was ratified by
the people of Montana, the sale OF
transportation of liquor is prohibit
ed, reads the opinion. Continuing, il
reads: Transport" is defined by
Webster to mean TO carry or convey
from one station to another; to trans
fer; as to transport goods, to trans
port troops.
The supreme court of the United
States, in interpreting the meaning
of the word transportation" as user
in the eighteenth amendment and ma
tional prohibition act says that i
"comprehends any real carrying
about or from one place to another
1t is not essential that the carrying
be for hire or by one for another no
that it be incidental to a transfer o.
