q Outlook people. 1t also appears
Ii as0esnpesfs that MIR. LELAND has
befrended this family on several
occasions and could have received
more assistance if they had asked

stealing going on in their section,
and that it is about time to take
some drastic means to stop cattle
stealing as we'll as other pilferine.

GRAIN VARIETIES FOR
SHERIDAN COUNTY

Through variety tests conducted,
work of experiment station, and rec
concentrations by the Montana Seed
Growers Association, certain varie-
ties Of grain is believed to be more
adapted for certain parts of the State
than others. Some varieties are be-
lieved to do better in Sheridan Coun-
ty than others which might be better
adapted for other parts of the State.
At the present time there is no
spring wheat variety which can be
recommended as being better than
Marquis. There are some varieties
which might seem to do better some
certain year, but over period of
years no variety can claim any su-
periority. A new variety: Supreme
Red Bobs, has yielded better than
Marquis in many tests, but is more
subject to rust, which makes it a
question whether chance should be
taken with this variety in this coun-
ty. There are few other new va
rieties that look promising but they
have not been tested out enough so
as to know whether it is safe to
recommend them or not.
Concerning Registered Marquis for
seed, there is no need of buying any
outside of the county. We have as
good and pure Marquis for sale in
this county as there is anywhere. 1t
is better to buy at home and know
what you are getting.
Horn and Hannchen two-row bar
ley is recommended for this county.
Horn is the newest variety and seems
to be growing in favor over the
Hannchen.
Reserve and N. Dakota ia have
been found to be the best yielding
flax. There is some excellent seed
for sale in the county of these va
rieties.
Victory Oats is recommended
strongly. There is new variety call
ed "Markton" which has shown up
very well. Tests on this variety will
be conducted in the county this year.
Markton is more rust resistant rnan
the Victory.
Karmont and Montana 36 are fav-
ored in the winter wheats. They are
both hardy and good yielders.
Grimm and Cossack alfalfa are the
two outstanding varieties of alfalfa
From a seed standpoint Grimm is
preferable because of larger de-
mand.
There may be other varieties that
are equal to the above mention; but
no one can make mistake by plant
ing any of these.

The announcement from Washington that steps have been taken to directing head having charge of all bureau and departmental affairs in Alaska is the best that has out of Washington within decade Much will depend upon the powers reposed in the office.

 It may be recalled that what has happened is just what this newspaper advocated edtoraly some weeks ago. and while do not take credit for having influenced the maer feel satisfaction in knowing that we are thinking in consonance with those who are seeking sou- ton of Alaskan problems. And yet there structve criticism and suggestions the part of the press the day would be hasened when the clouds that have hovered so long upon the horizon would be banshed

ON CURLING CRIME
Chief Justice Points to Needed
Legal Reforms, Would AboI-

Washing Justice Taft, in
an interview with Oliver P. New

Weekly, lays the duty of curbing
crime and lawlessness at the doors of
the state legislatures and. advocates
many far-reaching reforms of judi
cial procedure to deal with the crime
wave.
The chief justice, his interviewer
says, feels that the seriousness of
the crime situation and the need Of
action justify him in departing from
the tradition of silence which at
taches to his office.
Justice Taft, according to the in
terview, favors the abolition of grand
juries as well as police court juries
and for the former would substitute
system of information by prescott
ing attorneys. He would have these
officials in each county under the
control of the state Encouragement
and in turn have the state depart
ments of justice coordinate the &C.
tivities of all police officers of the
state. Each state, the chief Justice
thinks, should have its own detective
service and constabulary.
The chief justice is quoted as "a
voring greater freedom for judges in

A bill to make the Clerk of District

HOUSE MEMBER FROM
PINE COUNTY WRITES
The Following Letter From the
State Legislature is Written by
]. e. Therrien of Pine City,
Pine County's Member Of the
House.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. II, 1927
The Citizens of Pine County.
Dear Friends:
1t is little early to tell you much
about what is going on down at the
State Capitol, as there has not been
much doing so far, however l will en-
deavor to give you some of the inside
dope.
We were sworn in at eleven o'clock
Tuesday, January 4th, by the Secre-
tary of State, and by the way, one
man was sworn in that now appears
had no right to raise his right hand
and take the oath as Representative,
and we have had some fireworks from
the Minneapolis members over that
little incident, but the matter is now
in the hands of the Supreme Court
and / guess they will tell us what we
should do in the matter. After agree
ing to uphold the Constitution, etc..
etc., we proceeded to elect a Speaker
and other officers necessary to prop
erly conduct the business of the
House, and Speaker Johnson, was
again reelected, and John I. Levin,
of st. Paul, was elected to act as
Chief Clerk. After these little GER
emonies were completed, we adorned
until twelve o'clock Wednesday, when
the House and Senate met in joint
session to listen to the message of
the Governor.
Undoubtedly many of you heard this
message on the radio, and others have
read it. If you did not, you certainly
missed something. That message was
the best and most fearless ever de-
livered by any Governor in the state
of Minnesota. He covered every i'm
portant question before the people of
the state today, and did not mince his
words in the least. One thing you
can put down right now, and that is
that / am going to stand by him in
every particular and I know that l
will not go wrong.
The Rules committee was appointed
on Thursday and we adjourned over
the week end to allow said committee
time to prepare the rules and report
to the House. You know we cannot
do any business until we have rules
to govern our conduct.
We convened again last Monday
and Tuesday morning approved the
rules and received our committee as
signments. AS you were informed in
