In your issue Of Aug. 81. relative
to action Of our pardon board re-
garding clemency TO a bank robber
sentenced for robbing a bank Of
s3l 900, 10 ten to twenty-three years,
the board committed that term to
eight to twenty years This bank
robber is Jess Stephens. who robbed
the Union Trust Company. The
board at the same time refused
olemency for Jules williams. ten
year prisoner. and Earl Powell, three
TO ten-year prisoner, sentenced for
lesser offenses.
There are no extenuating circum-
stances BY which a bank robber
should receive clemency. When a
hold-up man goes into a bank and
with a drawn gun demands the
banks money, he is going TO get II
even though he kills the banker. No

With the influx of thousands of
new settlers into this vast territory
it soon became evident that the coun-
ty administration affairs could not
be well handled with one set of coun-
ty officials The result was that the
eastern half of the old cOunty's
settlers clamored for a division of
the county. The Board of County
Commissioners of Valley County
passed a resolution, as the result Of
a petition for division signed by more
than 81 per cent of the qualified
electors residing in the territory pro-
posed to be isolated from the parent
county, as the law required, calling
for an election upon the question of
division or no division. The electiOE
was held on the 18th day of March,
1918, and resulted in more than 65
per cent of the electors declaring
themselves in favor of division. This
resulted in the Board of County
Commissioners of Valley County in
duly declaring by way of usual proc
lamatiOn entered upon it's minutes
that d new county had been added to
the sisterhood of Montana counties
by the name of Sheridan.

COUNTY SEAT FIGHT

The creation of the new county
naturally called for the selection of
d county seat. This was provided for
in the law wherein the voter in vot-
ing for division or non-divisiOn could
also indicate his choice for the eoun-
ty seat on the same ballot. The law
however provided that no town can
didate could be declared the county
seat unless it had a majority of all
the votes cast for the same. This
makes it difficult for any town to be
selected where more than two towns
are cOntenderS. The law also pro-
vided that in the event that no town
secured a majority then the two
towns having the highest number of
votes would be oblidged to re-submit
the proposition at the next general
election. In the election held on the
11th day of March 1913, Plentywood
and Medicine Lake received the two
highest votes for county seat.
No sooner did the board of County
Commissioners of Valley County set
the date and ordered the election,
than the towns of Poplar, Culbert-

HOG WAR REAL
DOG FIGHT"

CHICAGO, Nov. 10 GN.S0.-A
conflict between buyers and sellers
in the hog market has resulted in
a deadlock in the market that is
unprecedented. Commission men
asked Wednesdays prices, which
buyers refused to give, and no
hogs were sold. -.
More than $1,000 hogs were left
over from yesterday because
buyers bids were 10c to zoe lower,
which statesmen would not accept.
Statesmen are standing pat for
steady prices on orders from both
the local and national livestock
exchanges.
The big packers had in $1,000
hogs direct today, which put them
in an independent position, and
they refused to bid with fresh
pork prices, but packers say they
can't break even and pay the pro-
cessing tax of SOC per hundred on
hogs, plus a floor tax on packing
house products. :,
Cattle receipts we're 1000, with
nothing choice offered. The mar
ket was slow and steady. Cows
and heifers sold steady. Stockers
and feeders were reported steady
Good to choice lambs were
quoted at ST to $7.40.

Prospects Held Good
For Market Rally

are probably not the controlling
factor in the market. The con.
trolling factor is Government
policy, particularly with refer
ence to initiation. And I am in
clined to think that this factor
is likely to bring an attempt to
rally the market which will prob
ably have some success.
Unquestionably there are hand
leaps and unfavorable factors.
The weakness in Government
bonds is highly disturbing, since
Government credit is now the
main factor in our financial
setup.
The NRA program is a drag on
immediate business recovery and
tends to offset the working OF in
flation. Government price-fix1ng
is hardly consistent with rising
prices, and high costs don't go
with high profits. Even the
American Federation Of Labor
complains the wages have not
risen as much as living costs.
The farm strike" and the an
thracite coal strike are hardly
bulliSh.
The utility situation is much
disturbed and utility stocks are
relatively weak.
But in the bull side Of the
stock market argument one can
say much, and the holdings Of
hedges in initiation stocks
particularly the sounder gold
mining issues, still appears to be
justified.

Failures of Retail
Dealers Increased

It is not unusual for business
failures to show some expansion
at this period of the year. The
total for the latest week, that Of
October 26, was 200 against 282
in the week preceding, according
to the records of Dun g. Brad
street, Inc. A year ago, $50 in
solvencies were reported and in
1881, for the same week, $50.
Retail failures advanced to 1856,
a gain of 16 per cent over the
figures for the week preceding.
Failures among wholesalers de.
clined, and the totals were smaller
for the manufacturing and agents
and brokers groups.
The chief rise in the number
of failures last week is attributed
to the New England, South Cen
trail, and Pacific Coast States.
