Boy Buys Colt

One yearling colt was knocked
down for two-bits to a five year old
Helena lad who had high hopes Of
possessing a riding horse. A bill of
sale to the boy was executed and he
started for home, leading the colt,
highly elated over his purchase. But
it was not long before he returned
with the animal to the corrals and
with quivering voice and tears flow
ing down his cheeks he formed Auc-
tioneer Collins that his father would
not permit him to possess the colt.
"Well," said the auctioneer, "we1l
put the colt up again and show your
father what a good businessman you
are"
Again the colt was offered for bids
and was speedily disposed of for 81,
which amount was turned over to the
boy and he left the corrals partially
placated, at least.

Like raging forest fire, the strug-
gle over the prohibition question con-
tlnues with increasing intensity.
Some leading thinkers look upon
1t as the paramount issue of the
day. Some maintain it will be the
leading feature of the next presiden-
hal campaign. Surely it is on the
tongue of every person, chiefly be-
cause of the recent victory for Con
gresham Ware in the Pennsylvania
senatorial primary and the coming
referendum in New York state.
Ware won his campaign almost
wholly on the prohibition issue. pro-
posing to modify the Volstea6 act
by a beer and light wines amend
ment
The New York referendum will be
the first official poll of public SEN
timent since the Eighteenth amend
ment went into effect. It calls for a
vote on this question:
Should the Congress of the United
States modify the Federal Act to en-
force the eighteenth amendments To
the Constitution of the United States
so that the same shall not probibit

ton and expectation of beverages
which are not in fact Intoxicating as
determined within the law of the re-
spective states.
There's no denying the fact that
the result of the New York vote will
have tremendous effect upon the ma
ton. If the vets win, it is fairly
certain that similar referendums will
e agitated in other states.

BANKS STILL CRASH
ING ON MAIN Line

Glasgow.-The First National
bank of Saco closed its doors Thurs
day afternoon of last week, accord
ing to reliable reports received here
A run, said to have started about a
fortnight ago, is given as the cause
of the closing.
The closed bank was capitalized at
$4,000 and according to the 1926
bank directory, its officers were G. w.
c. Ross, president; R. D. Sutherland
vice president, and J. A. Townsend
cashier. Sutherland, however, is un-
derstood to have disposed of his in
terests in the institution several
months ago and moved from Saco.

like Chicago or Minneapolis and
nearly all big cities, where you see
the down and out working men,

When l saw those conditions in

that the little petty business man and
the little petty farmer: those who be-
lieve they own something, that they
shall lose 1T all and the big capitalist
will get it.
And l was. also thinking about
what l had read in history of the
last century of the Roman Republic,
where T. V. N. Myers in his general
history has this to say: "That the
possessions of the small proprietors
were gradually absorbed by the
large landholders. Almost all the
land of Italy, about the beginning of
the first century, B. c., are said to
have been held by not more than two
thousand persons and the poorer
Romans, left without employment,
crowded into the cities, especially in
to Rome. And also that the big LAND
owners found it to their interest to
raise stock rather than to cultivate
the soil. So all Italy became a great
sheep pasture. This divided the
Roman people into two great classes,
which are variously designated as
the rich and the poor the possessors
and the non-pOssessors, the optimates

'peopleO. And as one expresses it,
Rome had become a commonwealth
OF mllionaires and beggars. And it
further goes on to stay, that this
brought on bitter struggle between
these two classes, and popular lead
ers were introducing bill after bill
into the Roman Senate, for the peo-
pie to get their land back again. so
as to cultivate it, to raise food for
themselves and their families, instead
Of it lying idle as pasture land for
the benefit of the rich. 1t looks to
me as though the conditions in Wau-
paca county are nearly like those of
old Rome, only the rich do not live
in the little city of Waupaca, but are
located at Wall Street, New York.

WILD CAYUSES
SELL FAST ON
HELENA MARKET
HANSEN PACKING COMPANY OF
BUTTE BUYS $50 of 500 HEAD
TO PUT ON BLOCK.

Helena, June Five hundred
head of unclaimed range horses Of
all ages, colors, sizes and DISPOSE
tons were auctiOned off during the
past week at the stOckyards east of
the Northern Pacific depot in Helena.
They were the accumulations of the
roundup which has been under way
in the southern part of Lewis and
Clark county since April 18th, con-
Quoted by the county commissioners
under the roundup district law enact
ed by the last legislature.
The roundup was conducted with
jim Galen son of Associate Justice
A. ]. Galen, acting as foreman, and
during the period approximately 800
animals were picked up. Many of
these were subsequently, released to
claimants and when the sale opened
last Wednesday there were still $50
horses in the corrals. Quite a few of
these were claimed by their owners
while the sale was in progress, leav-
ing about 500 to be disposed of.
The sale was cried by Frank Col
Inns of Manhattan, a cowboy auc-
tiOneer and horse dealer, who has had
extensive experience in this line in
Montana in past year, this being his
third sale under the new roundup law.
81 to SIS a Head
The horses were rapidly disposed
of at an average price of between 81
and SIS a head, the lowest sale being
made at 25 cents and the highest at
$34. The bulk of the sales, $50 head,
was made to George Lyman for the
Hansen Packing company of Butte,
and these horses will be shipped to
the horse slaughter plant at that
place where they will be killed for
canning.
