This bull Is from the finest lines
Of Jersey breeding in the United
States his sire being Nell,s Fairy Boy

seys and his pedigree is in the purple
for many generations Of milk prOduc-
ing stock.
The dam IL from Echo's Noble Lasl
s7o70S of the Echo strain. The bull
which Wood received BY express came
fully up 10 his expectations. He is
2M years old. Of gentle disposition
and shows all the form Of an ideal
Jersey.
The fact that be Is Of a different
strain from Mr. Woods herd makes
him all the more valuable and guaran-
tees the continuation Of 3 long line
of high producing cows. Mr.. Wood
has had unusual success with his
bunch Of pure-bred Jerseys and his
milk and cream are always in de.
mand at top prices. In most cases

The girls game with Stanford de-
velopcd two different styles Of play.
The Stanford girls have been aecus-
toned to play in three courts the Belt
girls in two courts.
The matter was compromised by
decision to play the first half Stan
ford way and the second half in Belt
fashion. Each team proved superior
in its particular courts. In the first
half Stanford made z points 70 Belts
8 while in the second half Belt led
with eight points to Stanford 2.

Hectic Year
For Mclean

G. N. Moss, former principal Of the
Raynesford school and later of Waller
but who has been for several year,
the publisher Of the whitefish Pilot
and was a representative Of Flathead
county in the last Montana legisla-
tive assembly, has been having a hard
time to get along with Mayor Mclean
Of whitefish.
After a hectic year Of turmoil dur
ing which he felt It his duty to ally
himself with the opposition, Mr..
Moss ire was reused when he was
accused Of selling the city some blank
bonds at an excessive price. Moss
came back with the statement that
Mclean was q aplain, unvarnished
liar" and showed concIusively that the
bonds had been purchased from an
supply house outside Of whftefish
It appears that, in retaliation, May
or Mclean wrote a letter 70 Moss
threatening him with exposure Of
some alleged unlawful act unless
Moss published retractiOn Of the
article referred TO ana
paid a certain amount Of money to
Mclean.
The result of this was the arrest
Of Mayor Mclean upon a charge of
attempted blackmaiI to which he
pleaded guilty Monday of this week.

LOT OF GAMES
SOME WON
SOME LOST

The game last Thursday night b.
tween Belt and Stanford was too one
sided 70 be a good game. but was
enjoyable nevertheless because Of tAs
fact that Belt was on the long end
Of the S2 20 2 seore.
Tucker was highpoint man Of the
evening making one-half Of the teaznn
baskets.
The game started IN wisirlwina faah
ion with Tucker making an easy oms
IN the first Is seconds Of play and
added a gift to the score soon afsse.
Il was evident after q minutes play
that Belt had the countyseat quinhss

with another. Tucker finished tha
scoring for the quarter which was

Tucker started the second Qnartak
by adding points to the teams score.
Stanford made their first counter and

SUPREME COURT DECIDES CASE
AGAINST CITY ON IMPROVE
MKNT DISTRICT WARRANTS

Helena, Jan. 2e.-As = holder Oi
special Improvement district warrants
issued in 1910 by the city Of Butte IN
payment for the construction Of eon-
crete sidewalks and upon which the
interest and principal remain unpaid,
George L. Gagnon cannot hold tha
city Of Butte liable for payment thers
Of. says the supreme court in affirm
ing the Judgment Of the district
court of Silver Bow county in favor
of the defendant in Gagnon's action
against the city.
It appears that the taxes upon the
property within the district where the
walks were constructed have gone de-
linquent and there is practically no
money in the sinking fund created for
the payment of interest and principal
Of these warrants.
The supreme court, after reviewing
the facts and the statutes, decided
that:
Primarily the city Of Butte incur
red no personal liability 70 the con-
tractor who did the work. It was
merely constituted an instrumental

the congressional halls, as the rep

much different than that of man
not known to the representatives

"The advantage to Arizona in
sending a man, nationally known
as Mr.. Belts is to congress, would,
in my opinion, be more effective
than any other step the citizens
of the state could take at this
critical stage Of the states his

"Mr. Belts has a knowledge of

he has better knowledge Of the

Belts Sta. IS On
Campaign
Tour

Especial To The International)
Phoenix, Ariz., July 31.-Now
that the Interstate Commerce
Commission has settled one Of the
most important rate cases by re-
fusing to grant the railroads of
the West authority to increase
their freight rates and tax the
consumer two hundred and twen-
ty-two million dollars ($222,000,-
OOO) additional, Amos A. Belts,
who participated prominently in
this case, has been able to start
out on a tour of the state in the
interest of his candidacy for Con
gress to succeed the Hon. Carl
Hayden.
Those interested in freight
rates, and it includes actually
every person. are interested in the
candidacy of Mr.. Belts, largely
because of the opportunity which
he would have as a member of
Congress to further the work
which he has been doing and re-
move discriminatory freight rates
against doing business in the
mountain states. The rate men
are outspoken in urging his NOM
ination.
Arizona's next representative
to Congress must have two very
essential qualities if the state IS to
obtain any real benefits in the
matter Of legislation, de- s.red
Charles E. Blaine, traffic expert
of Phoenix, speaking of the COM
ing primary election for the choice
of a Democratic candidate.
The candidate chosen, he said,
must know Arizona, and he must
he a man known without the state
"Amos A. Betts'is such a man" ;"
Mr.. Blaine said. "He knows Ari-
zona and her needs, better prob
ably than any other candidate for
the office because of his intimate
! knowledge, as a member of the
Arizona Corporation Commission
for the past ten years, of the big
problems confronting the state.
"That Mr.. Belts is well known
without the state is evidenced by
the fact that in all the big rate
cases in which Arizona has par
ticipated with other states, Mr..
Belts has been chosen time after
time as the chairman Of the COM
mittees selected by the states in
volved to carry on their campaign.
"Due to his many trips to Wash
ington in the interests of Arizona,
Mr.. Belts has formed personal
contacts and acquaintances with
men from all parts of the nation
who represent their various states
in the national capital.
"He is personally acquainted
with the senators and representa-
tives Of practically all of the west
