SUGAR BEET CROP Is
PER CENT BETTER

Present indications point to quite a
substantial Increase in average sugar
tonnage over last year, according to
Z. W. Doherty, manager of the Great
Western Sugar company. The aver
age condition at the present time is
roughly estimated by him as Is per
cent better than last year and with
favorable conditions from now on the
yield will be approximately 11.50 tons
TO the acre. Last year the average
was little less than 10 tons.
Fields have practically all been
thoroughly weeded and the thinning
was completed without any damaging
delay. All the beet growers are irri-
eating now. Warm weather has
proved very beneficial to all the crops
that have ben kept thoroughly watered
and all such fields have made a re-
markable growth and are in a spendid
condition. - :
Some damage has been done to
fields where the growers were too
slow in getting water on the ground.

load of baled hay and when the horses
ne was driving scented and saw the

ed Mr. Hammod and baled hav was
scattered all over the lot and at first
lt looked as though he had fell under
meath the heavy wagon.
The frightened team ran north and
clrcled around where the circus horse
tent was located and madly dashed
INTO the tethered animals. One heavy
draft horse was severely cut by the
wagon pole, and will be unable to work
for some time as five stitches were
necessary to close the deep cash.
Mr.. Hammond secured the team and
started to return and pick up the scat
tered load, but the horses again de-
clded they did not want to stay in the
vicinity of the circus, and were not
halted until they dashed up near the
depot. The balance of the DELIVERING

SUPREME COURT
REVERSES OPINION

mention of the Federal Land Bank
OF Spokane case in which they had
filed an action in the district court at
Billings, against George NJ. Havs
treasurer of Yellowstone county. II
was a suit to compel Treasurer Havs
to compute the taxes due on and per
nit the bank to redeem certain forties
OF the [. D. ODonnell ranch of 500
acres upon which the bank holds q
mortgages.
REFUSAL was made by Mr.. HAYS to
isegregate the forty acre tract for the
reason that the land had all been sold
to Yellowstone county for taxes and
the Farm Mortgage corporation had
paid up these taxes and an assignment
OF the tax sale certificate issued to
them. Upon filing of the case by the
Federal Land Bank, Wood & Cook.
attorneys for the Farm Mortgage cor
poration, contested the case and in
the supreme court the case was deci-
ded IN favor of the plaintiffs.
Word now reaches us that this case
has ben reversed and that the reden1p-
ton of the forty acre tract bv the
Federal Land bank has been annulled.
The land in question was assessed in
with other tracts and now the SUI
preme court affirms the decisions of
