hibited by presidential order fol.
lowing his protest, Representative

When he returned to Washing

pleted.

Representative Kendall said he
contemplated the introduction Of
a resolution authorizing the in.
vestigation.
He has received reliable in
formation that the department
has failed to fill vacancies in
clerkships and other positions in

said. Instead, they hire substi.
tutes, paying them by the hour,

APPEAL

Some time ago the 500 Railroad
applied to the State Board of Equal
cation for a reduction in the valua-
ton of their right of way in Sher-
idan County from 500, 900 to $780,
900 Protests were made by many
citizens in Sheridan County includ-
ing County Attorney Grant Blackwell.
In a letter from Bert Milligan, who
is now assistant secretary to the
Board of Equalization, Mr.. BLACKWELL
was advised that the Board after DUE
consideration. placed a value of $780,
900 on the 500 Line property, which
is the same as last year, and that
under date Of May 9th the 500 Of
ficials had not appealed the decision

NEW BUSINESS
FOR FLEETWOOD

Walter Carter will soon open a far
mers produce station in his building
first door north Of the Grand View
Hotel, and is busy these days putting
the place in shape to accommodate the
patrons.
We understand he will deal in but
ter, eggs and cream principally, but
that later on in the season ne may
also buy and sell vegetables.
This is a much needed business in
Plentywood, and we feel satisfied that
Mr.. Carter will have plenty of patron
age from the first hour he opens his
doors.
Owing to his unfortunate business
venture in selling that building to
George Dunn some years ago, ne had
the misfortune Of having a paddock
injunction placed there and also had
to go through the grief of foreclos-
ing the contract he had made with
Dunn and his co-partner Mig Collins,
but the time is just about up now and
we know that he will fill a long felt
want in Plentywood by embarklng on
this new business venture,

FEDERAL BUILDINGS
MAY Be BUILT ON Line

O. b. Holton of Grand Forks, dis
trict director of immigration, is re-
ported to have been here last week
investigating the local situation, rela-
tive to the matter of establishing gov
eminent buildings for customs and
immigration at the boundary line
north of Raymond. Similar buildings
are being erected at other places at
a cost of $50 900 each.
This territory was formerly under
supervision of the Spokane office but
was placed in the Grand Forks dis
trict last winter.
Mr.. Eolton says that building such
scale as above mentioned will be built
providing the Regina road connection
with our north Raymond road is even
tually declared a north and south
highway, which is very likely to be
the case eventually, using the State
Highway south from Plentywood and
the Saskatchewan highway No. 5
north of the boundary line.

NORTHEASTERN MONTANA
RECEIVES MUCH RAIN

The continued rains here is greatly
retarding late seeding Of grain as the
farmers are not able to get into the
fields.
Last year we received only about
an inch more rain than we have re-
ceived so far this year. The total
rainfall last year was 500 inches.
Since January LIST to April 1st the to-
tai melted snowfall and rain amounted
to .46 inches; in April the measure
ment here was 1859 inches, and 100
inches has fallen since that time.
About IS per cent Of the wheat and
oat crops are now seeded but only
about 60 per cent of the flax crop is
in the ground as yet, and as many
plan on putting in considerable flax
this year, this means quite an acreage
yet to be seeded.

CHICKEN RANCH TO
Be CLOSED FOR A YEAR

AS claimed by The Herald last
week, the Mig Collins Chicken ranch"
was likely to be closed up by the fed
eral authorities, and this is O a
fact. On Thursday Federal Judge
Charles N. Pray ordered the house
closed for one year and we under
stand that the deputy United States
Marshall will be along here one of
these days and place a paulvcx on it
which means that it is to stay shut
whether Rodney Salisbury or Charley
Taylor wants to use it or not.
Collins "%joint' is one of q in che
State that were ordered closed with
out permission to reopen under any
circumstances, so it is very evident
that it appeared to the federal court
as an absolute nuisance.
Others who came under the ban and
required to put up a bond in order to
live and occupy their premises were
Phillip Bourassa, who must put up a
$1,000 in order to keep one room
open in which the liquor stock was
formerly kept; Pete Gallagher, Joe
Mcintosh and John Enderlin must
each put UP a $500 bond and Dave
O'Donnell a $1,000 bond in order to
live in their homes, with the pro-
viso that if any of them sell any
more liquor during the one year per-
iod, which the bonds call for, that
the bonds will be forfeited. r. w.
Frasier was assessed the costs of his
trial, which will amount to possibly
$500.
We understand that a very strict
watch will be made on these premises
where bonds are required and if the
former liquor law ~violators attempt
to reopen the bondsmen will be re-
CURED to dole out the necessary cash
to the federal court without delay.
1t is rumored that one has already
been reported for violation the law,
altho he did not have his bond post
ed when he was reported as making
home brew.

MANY TEACHERS TO

school year the members will soon be
going to their homes or to summer
school. We learn that if the teachers
decide to accept a contract to teach

Iowa educational institute and Miss
McMorran has accepted a contract to
teach in the Havre schools. Miss
Dyste will not teach next year, hav-

course in some eastern university,
but will make a tour of Europe this
summer, visiting her parents birth
place in Norway and later on will at
tend the Passion Play.
