RESOLUTION.

Whereas, the Board of County Com
missioners of Lincoln County, Montana,
in fixing its Budget for the year ending
June 30, 1886, fixed its said Budget for
the Road Fund Of said County at sum
that, in its judgment, would take care
of the County's roads during said year,
estimating the amount of said Budget
upon the demands existing at the time
of fixing the same, also upon the de-
mands previously made during the last
year. and
Whereas, the demands. upon said
County for all road purposes have ex-
ceeded the amount affixed therefor by
the said County Commissioners and
have. exceeded the expectations of said
Board owing to the fact that weather
conditions have been unfavorable to
the economical maintenance Of roads
in said County and have caused the ex-
penditure Of unprecedented sums of
money for the purpose of ploughing
snow and for making unexpected and
needed repairs, and further owing to
the fact that in order to secure the
County's allotment of w. p A. work
and funds it has been necessary to fur
nish unexpected materials and supplies
for said w. P. A. Projects from County
funds; and
Whereas, the expenditures required
for the road purposes aforesaid have
been SO great that the sums fixed by
the said Budget have been exhausted
and there remains no sum with which
to maintain and make necessary re-
PAIRS on the roads Of Lincoln County
land it has become necessary to re-
plenish the road fund to meet the
mandatory expenses required ny
law and
Whereas, by reason Of the foregoing
facts an Emergency exists necessi-
tating the issuance of Emergency War
rants to take care of the maintenance
and repairing Of the roads OF saio
County. and the Board of County Com
missioners Of said Lincoln County here

Without exception, the schools Of the
two counties have shown the finest CO.
operation with the writer. 1t is natural
that the people operating and directing
the school should have first hand
knowledge of the boys and girls under
their hands for five days Of each week.
Behaviorism out Of the ordinary will
almost surely show up in school, the
effect Of bad habits, outside of school,
sooner or later effects the pupils
standing in school. Then too, the av-
erage school, through a minute system
of records, keeps track Of each pupil as
to scholarship and citizenship. These
records are of much value TO this de-
partment and have been consistently
used in all cases. 1t is natural that the
best results in corrective measures
used by this department, are obtained
among the children Of pre-high school
age. The boys and girls from Ia to
/ Is years Of age, usually in high school
as well as squarely in the always dit
ficult adolescent period, are the diff
ficult ones to handle. Upset and un-
settled physically, as we'll as mentally

SHOULD NOT BE TOO BITTERLY
CRITICIZED.

It appears to us there should not be
too much condemning of Governor
Hoffman for the position he took in the
Bruno Hauptman case. II Hoffman was
honestly convinced there might be a
doubt regarding the guilt or innocence
of Hauptman, it was his duty to in
vestigate every bit of new evidence
The power Of reprieve, Of pardoning, of
staying Of execution is lodged in the
governorship SO that an avenue may be
left open for the final correction of
what otherwise might be terrible in
iustice-the execution of an innocent
man. That is safeguard the law has
established in its effort to see that
Justice is melted out to all men.
Therefore, Governor Hoffman would
have been negligent OF his manifest
duty had he not given careful con-
sideration to any new evidence that
might have reached him We believe a
majority of the public is convinced
Hauptman was guilty and that he met
merely his just desserts 4uhen-he was
executed. But be that as it may there
is a great and SOLDERING responsibility
placed on a governor in granting to
him the pardoning power. That re-
sponsibility will induce most men to
move with exceeding care when mans
life is in the balance.

FERVENT THANKS DUE SPONSORS
OF ORGAN CONCERT.

It is the constant desire of many wise
and good people to make available for
the enjoyment of their fellowmen the
wholesome, the worthwhile things of
life. These people realize that there is
SO much that is wholesome and fine
that can be used for pleasure and up
lift; SO many things in the world that
are of surprising beauty; so much that
has the power to bring exquisite pleas
ure into the lives of those who have
learned to appreciate the fine and
good. And realizing the power of the
fine things of life to drive out the
sordid and mean, they know that the
evils of this world could be immeas-
urably lessened if mankind could only
be taught to appreciate the superior and
exquisite things.
One who has been fortunate enough
even to gain slight perception of this
truth is therefore always glad to help
provide opportunity for such enjoy
ment And fortunate are those who
can participate in that pleasure.
That introduction leads us to the
meat of these remarks 1t is that the
people Of Libby were highly fortunate
last Monday night. to have the OPP
portunity Of enjoying that fine organ
concert given by DR.. Stevens in the
high school building And those who
were responsible for DIR. Stevens
coming should also, and undoubtedly
do. derive much pleasure from their
part in the enjoyable affair. 1t was a
musical feast that will long be remem-
bered by all who were privileged to
hear it. II was one of those whole
some, one of those fine things that now
and then come to bring very great en-
ioyment to one. And that it was
thoroughly appreciated was proven by
the reluctance OF tile duulEIlCe 10 let
DR.. Stevens 60 after the final number
Of his formal program.
Mr.. Beardsley, Of the high school
faculty has earned the fervent thanks
Of the community for the treat he
brought to us And Mrs. Walter Neils
of this city and Mr. Des Voignes of
Boomers Ferry are also entitled to
warm thanks and praise for their
generous assistance in the program and
for their beautifully rendered numbers
in voice and piano
The DR.. Stevens concert has given
the community a taste Of something
fine, taste that will always call for
more. And we therefore give notice to
Mr. Beardsley that we shall await with
impotence the coming Of future fine
musical treats such as this one.

Relief From
Intense Heat
Rain, Although Light, Brings Re
newed HOpe-CoOler Weather
Great Aid

Relief from the heat and the
whitening wind of Tuesday visited
this section that evening when
darkening skies and scattered rain
drops gave hope of more to fol-
low. Threatening skies on Tuesday
afternoon gave way to a clear sky
but were suddenly overcast early
in the evening.
Checking with authorities early
Wednesday revealed no damage
from the high winds in this immed-
late vicinity. According to reports
other sections of the state were
visited with heavier rainfalls than
this community enjoyed. Black
clouds went scudding across the
sky about TOO o'clock Tuesday ev-
ening bearing high winds that
picked up a cloud of dust in their
advance. They passed over so
quickly that only small showers
fell quelling the dust clouds. The
darkest patches of clouds were sent
scurrying to the north of Sank
Centre. Wednesday dawned cool
and overcast with scattered sprink-
les coming during the day.
Wednesday a rumor Of wind
damage near Pillsbury was con-
firmed. The Johnson barn north of
there was blown down.

Cut Down Estimated
Size of State Vote
REPUBLICANS LEADING
Total Result of Poll In State
Available Wednesday
Evening

Latest totals available Wednes-
day evening indicate the compare
tive strength of the Republican
state vote, as 1t was the largest of
any of the parties. Martin Nelson,
candidate for governor on the Re-
publican ticket, polled 5000 more
votes than did Governor Floyd Oh
son, Farmer-Labor candidate for
United States Senator, and $4,000
more votes than Elmer Benson,
Farmer-Labor candidate for Gov
ernor.
In the Democratic contest the
Wolf faction candidates defeated
the Moonan-Ryan candidates, and
thereby the battle has been trans
ferred to the national convention at
Philadelphia next week. The fight
IN the state was primarily for the
control of the state committee.
Both delegations will be represent
ed at Philadelphia, and both will
fight for recognition. The primary
results in favor of the Wolf fac
ton may have some bearing on the
outcome.
Returns from the rural districts
cut down the size of the state vote
substantially, but it is estimated the
vote apparently will not be over
100000. Republicans cast the larg-
est vote, the Farmer-Laborite:s
came next, and the Democrats had
the smallest vote.
In a statement in Washington
Senator Elmer Benson, the Farm
er-Labor nominee, said he was
gratified by the results.
1T proves the voters realize this
is a crucial year for liberal and
progressive men and principles,
he said. Unlimited money that has
been taken from the pockets Of the
people by special privilege will be
poured back into the coming cam
paign.

Plan To Gull
FlOcks Next
WeekFriday
Demonstration In Sank Cen
tire Community To Be Civ
en- At John Ceynar Farm
LEARN TO GULL FLOCKS
Other Meetings Will Be Held
At Brooten, Richmond,
Eden Valley

Four hundred and fifty Stearns
county poultry raisers enrolled in
the regular poultry project are
making plans for the final lesson
on culling to be given next week to
the leaders by Miss Cora Cooke,
Extension Specialist in Poultry
University Farm, st. Cloud.
Farm flocks will actually be GULL
ed starting at $50 in the morning
and discussion will follow in the
afternoon. The leaders in the ST.
Cloud center under the direction
of Miss Cooke will Gull Mrs. John
Steman's flock of white leghorns
on Tuesday, June %. The Rich
mond center will meet at the Flor
ian Eischen farm, Eden Valley on
Wednesday, the Brooten group al
the Ben Van Liant farm on Thurs
day and the Sank Centre leaders
at the John Ceynar farm south OF
Sank Centre on Friday, June rs
In each case White Leghorns will
be culled although they will be
compared with the heavy and white
skinned breeds.
The two main objects of these
culling demonstrations is to learn
how to Gull flock in order to be
able to recognize the Gull from the
good layer and to know how to cul
a flock of chickens with the least
effort and without frightening the
birds. The two leaders in each 81
the thirty-two groups will bring
this information back to their
group members at local meetings
held shortly after the training
meetings,
