Columbus, the county seat Of Saltwater

there were shipped out 1884 cans Of
cream, 164 carloads of cattle, 103 car
loads of sheep, 26 carloads Of hogs, 400
tons of wool and 241 carloads Of wheat.
During the first six months Of 1927
there were 81 ,701 motor vehicles regis
tered in Montana, representing a slight
decline over the same period in 1925.
There were 20,991 1888 registrations for

the present crop would be worth $85, ,394,-
OOO In 1926 the value Of the wheat crop
was estimated at $50,077, 900. In 1924
the federal census reported 1892 farm
ers in Montana growing winter wheat and
8,O66 farmers growing spring wheat. Al
lowing for duplication in numbers Of
farms growing both crops there would
appear to be about $4,000 wheat farmers
in Montana.
These $4,000 farmers on basis of the
foregoing estimates will receive an aver
age of 81, ,668 per farmer growing wheat
for his crop this year. compared with
81 ,564 for his 1925 crop, or an estimated
increase Of $1,104 per farm.
Much Grain Stored
Illustrating the improved status Of the
Montana wheat farmer this year, reports
to the state publicity division indicate
that while Montana farmers have mar
keted freely from this years wheat crop
is indicated by the heavy railroad and
elevator receipts, they have also made
provisions in many cases for storing con-
siderable of their surplus above the
amount necessary to liquidate current
indebtedness. Reports coming to the
publicity division, state that farmers in
all sections Of the state have built many
storage bins this fall and that in many
cases farmers have full bins of grain on
their farms after marketing part Of their
crop.
| Triangle comes Back
It is curious commentary this year
that the famous triangle country in
Montana pointed out by Garet Garrett
| in his article in one of the national
weeklies, as being a conspicuous example
of wrong agricultural methods in the
northwest, will this year be found repre-
sented 100 per cent among Montana
counties producing a million bushels o.
wheat and more per county.
While Montana this season was favored
by an unusual amount and even dis
| tribution of moisture which, as the prin
cipal reason for her bumper wheat crop
! is open to some objection as illustrating
what Montana farms can do under aver
age conditions, it is also true that dur
ing the years of her adversely few year
of extremely unfavorable conditions I'm
paralleled in preceding records, wer
used as a basis for unwarranted criticism
of the state.
To Offset Bad Year
In advertising the present big crop t.
the world at large, Montana can we'll af
ford to admit that the crops which thi
year will pay for the land on which the
are grown is not an every-year perform
ance. On the other hand, it may b
claimed truthfully that for one year lik
1919, in the past IL years Montana ha
. had three favorable extremes of 1915
1916, and the present year which Wi
more than Offset the bad record of 191!

the states where u. S. senators were

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The joint

THE COUNTY ATTORNEY ACTS

Compelled, it would appear, by the Indifference
of Sheriff F. G.. Slaughter to act upon his own
initiative in the matter of law enforcement, COun-
ty Attorney Seth F.. BOhart last Saturday even
ing enlisted the services of .Constables Rufas Sell
wage and George Border, proceeded to Gallatin
Gateway and raided a pool hall where, it is de-
clared, a gambling game was in progress.
For some time it has been publicly known that
gambling is being openly conducted at Gallatin
Gateway. Complaints have been numerous, and
about a month ago the county attorney directed
the attention of Sheriff Slaughter to the matter
and requested him to investigate and act. The
sheriff did investigate-at least a claim filed
against the county for the expenses of such an
Investigation" so indicates.
But what was notorious on the street the
doughty sheriff was unable officially to discover.
Despite bombastic prediction promises, law en-
forcement went by the board insofar as gambling
at Gallatin Gateway was concerned, and Mr..
Slaughter took no action. , Denied the cooperation
of the officer entrusted with such duty, the coun-
ty attorney finally had to call upon the constables
to enforce the law.
Considerable amusement has been created by
the evident attempt of the morning newspaper
an independent" Democratic publication, to write
pOllIICS MCO lJS ACCOUNT Oh the AFFAIR. Lacking
the slightest excuse to make the sheriff the hero
of the raid, it endeavored to distract attention
from his non-participation therein by a semi
sarcastic playing up" of the event as a spec
%tacular, oldtime holdup with guns 'n'everything
AS a matter of fact there was nothing unusua,
about it. The constables, accompanied by County
Attorney BOhart, entered the hall while, they
assert, a gambling game was in progress. NJ
pistols were drawn; there was no command fol
hands up;' no movie stuff. The officers simply
stated the purpose of their visit and asked every
one present to sit quietly while they attended t.
the business in hand. The request was complies
with.
Two men, J. M. Sterrett, one of the proprietors
and o. W.. Sprigg, alleged banker for the game
were placed under arrest, and $50 in currency
with chips and cards, was seized as evidence
j. w. Siebold, associated with Sterrett in tn
operation of the place, was out of town when tn
raid was made, but was taken into custody late.
Tuesday infOrmations against the three were file
in the district court. Pending trial, all are
liberty on bail.
Whether these men are guilty will be dete
mined by the court. The significant fact in CO..
nectiOn with the case is that Sheriff Slaught
was unable to discover evidence which the coun.
attorney easily obtained. That Mr.. Slaughter HI
no stomach for the job is evident.

SAVE GOLD IRONSIDES"

In connection with the effort, through the sale
of reproductions of an oil painting by Gordon
Grant, to aid in the restoration of the famous old
frigate Constitution, it is of interest to recall
something of the history of this ship, one of the
most noted war vessels of the world.
"Old Ironsides'' is one of six ships authorized
by congress on March 81, 1894. President Wash
ington lost no time in proceeding with their build
ing. He had said in 1886: cit is in our own
experience that the most sincere neutrality is not
sufficient guard against the depredations of
nations at war. To secure respect to a neutral
flag requires a naval force organized and ready
to protect it from insult and aggression" The
Constitution was launched at Boston in 1897, ten
years after the constitution of the United States
had been adopted. Her fighting record has never
been equalled by any one ship in the history of
any navy in the world. She was almost a navy
in herself, and, like her own great name, the
names of her commanders are bound up with our
early and hazardous national life.
Nearly every state in the union contributed to
her building. Live oak and white oak and cedar
from southern and middle Atlantic states; iron
for her guns and anchors from Maryland, Con-
~necticut and Massachusetts; fir and pine from
the north woods were used in her construction,
while the bolts that fastened her historic timbers
were made at the foundry of Paul Revere. Her
flags were made by the daughters of Betsy Ross
There was not a section of the land in the days
of her service that was not represented in hel
successful crews.
"Old Ironsides'" service in the War of 1912
in which she defeated crack ships of the acknow
lodged Mistress of the Seas,"-old England
whose cruisers had long been accustomed to cap
turing French, Spanish and other European
nations warships whenever they met them, can
not be overestimated. The story of her duty i
the West Indies and as a flagship of the America
Mediterranean squadron in the war with Tripo
, 1803-1805), her marvellous escape from tn
u British squadron in July, 1872, while under tn
command of Isaac Hull, her fight with the BIRTHS
frigate Guerrero under the same gallant office
her subsequent capture of the frigate Java whe
she was commanded by Commodore William Bail
bridge, and later the taking of two British me-
of-war, the Cyane and the Levant, in a moonligl
battle in 1916, Commodore Charles Stewart cor
handing, reveal a stirring tale of American nav
history.
The campaign to restore the Constitution to h
. original glory and make her a perpetual remind
= of Americas successful fight for freedom of Il
{ seas is proceeding apace. Sale of beautiful pi
lures, at twenty five cents each, is aiding mate
