COURT ACTION
NOW SETTLED

The much heralded court action
against the City of Plentywoad
wherein Gust Riba, Mr.. and Mrs. C.
S. Nelson and l.. E. Rue were plain
tiff's came up in District Court last
week with Judge Robert c. Stong, of
Billings presiding.
This was an action to prevent the
farm land of the plaintiffs from be-
ng Incorporated into the limits Of the
city of Pentywood, which action had
been taken by the city council last
year. At that time about 660 acres
were added to the city.
These plaintiffs were not favorably
inclined to pay city taxes on their
farm lands and so started suit which
was set down for trial last week.
However, we understand that it
was settled out of court by stipula-
ton, and about IS acre of land has
now been added to the city limits, in
stead of the total of go acres.

MANY COMPLAIN.
INTERFERENCE

There were many persons who fail
ed to have eliminators placed on
their diio interfering devices while
the work was being done free of
charge, and eliminators sold at whole
sale by the Power Company about
three weeks ago Since then there has
been mer complaints made to
the radio club and to the Plentywood
Implement shop where the eliminat.
ors were being installed, that some
one still persists in using instruments
that interfere with radio reception
These men will be here again about
a week from today, and anyone want
ing to cooperate by having these ell
iminators installed should notify the
P~lentywood Implement Company OF
such desire, as everyone owes it tc
their neighbors to put a stop to this

WOULD ALTER
PROHIBITION

SEATTLE, Jan. &c (AP)- Ken
meth Macintosh, a member of the
Wickersham commission, said upon
his return home here today that sew
en- members of the law enforcement
body favored a change in prohibition
as soon as possible. He did not name
the seven.
Macintosh said the -four other
members having still a hope, which
they designated as a pious one, that
a change in organization may bring
a reasonable degree Of enforcement,
nevertheless favor revisions if that
hope is not fulfilled" He said here
the present law could not be en-
forced and that a change should be
made now.
Asked if this was a change in his
stand he said emphatically his views
were unchanged and the statement
was not Inconsistent with his individ-
ual report.
Macintosh who signed the general
report Of the commission recommend
ing further enforcement efforts. said
he did so because ~"otherwise we would
have complete notification, which
would mean chaos before some
change could be made.
"We found conditions almost un-
believable," Macintosh said. "There
is unquestionably more drinking
among young people than before pro-
hibition. Prohibition has raised the
drinker from the gutter and put him
in good society. At some functions a
person is not welcome unless he has
a bottle on his hip"

Westland Petitions Public Ser.
vice Com. for Lower
Freight Rates

Lower gasoline prices are assured
for northeastern Montana if the
Westland Oil Company, is successful
in its petition to the Interstate Com
merce Commission for a substantial
reduction in freight rates on petrol
cum products from the Oklahoma ter
ritory.
A complaint, charging that present
rates from Oklahoma into northeast
ern Montana are exhorbitant as com
pared with rates charged to other
parts of the country, has been filed
by the Westland Oil Company and an
early hearing is requested.
Repeated Investigations have indi-
Gated that Montana gasoline prices
ere based upon the Oklahoma or
GROUP three tank car prices, plus
freight from Oklahoma to Montana,
These Investigations have disclosed
the fact that costs of gasoline and
other petroleum products coming
from nearer fields into northeastern
Montana have been virtually the same
as the costs of the same products
shipped in from Oklahoma.
"We market gasoline, kerosene and
other petroleum products in North
Dakota as well as in northeastern
Montana and our North Dakota Gus
toners have enjoyed much lower ga
soline prices than have Jul Montana
customers" said r. j. Coughlin, pres
ident of the Westland Oil Company,
in a statement explaining the move OF
his company for lower freight rates
from Oklahoma.
Freight rates from Oklahoma into
northeastern Montana r nearly
cents per gallon higher than into
railway points just a few miles to the
east in North Dakota. In addition, the
Montana consumer pays two cents
per gallon more state tax than does
the consumer in North Dakota. II

they were written by the same man,

as the period ended. In the second
half the Montanans spurted to gain
the lead which they held until the
contest was over.
Fiske and Gunderson were best for
the G%reyhounds, the former counting
seven times from the field and twice

Knights, the Kirkelie brothers and
Holm played best.

The Plentywood Greyhounds are
still il this vicinity and are anxious
to get another whack at the Duras,
being of the opinion that they can
beat the locals. A contest may be ar
rargoi for Saturday evening on a
neutl al floor, perhaps at Velva. The
Minoters beat the Greyhounds last
Saturday, % to 80.
