Button, button, who's got the
button? Well, it's easy to figure
it out in this case There's moth
ing more disconcerting to the
driver having trouble with his
engine than the inane toot of
some impatient nitwit behind. Has
the car been stalled just to block
traffic? 1t has not! Is it going to
help any in starting the engine?
Emphatically no; quite to the con-
trary, this sort of duress arouses
within the average man that little
germ of stubborneSs which we all
possess and after the first barrage
of toots the driver having the
trouble will take his own good
time fixing it.

PERIOD PAYMENT
in SHERIDAN WILL
EQUAL AVERAGE
Payments Below '35
at County Treasures
Office

1t was estimated today by PAU
kutz, county treasurer, that tax pay
ments for the period ending Nov. 80
would total nearly $4,000. An exact
check of the payment will not be
known for several days.
A rush at the pay window was evil
dent the last two paying days. Satur-
day and Monday were big days at the
~treasurer's office. The period in which
taxes could be paid without penalty
and interest expired Monday evening.
The Great Northern railway was the
biggest payer. A check representing
the company's first-half payment to-
falling S22,87132 was received at the
treasury.
The 500 Line railroad paid Sheridan
county S8,565. 59-their first half pay
ment-and the Montana-Dakot IT'LL
tiles company paid in $2,76O.4S. The
Mountain States Telephone & Tele-
graph company added 81, 81 80 to the
countys Golfers.
Approximately $4,000 was paid by
Individual Sheridan county property
owners and land companies.
IWo hiSuIdHce companies Inc Her
cules Life Insurance Co, Chicago, and
the Northwestern National Life Insur-
ance Co, Minneapolis, paid big checks
representing their holdings in the
county. The Hercules company paid
S70l.77 and the Northwestern National
more than $1,000.
Receipts this paying period will be
but %one-fifth of the amount received
during the same period last year. Sher-
idan county Golfers last year were en-
riched nearly a half-million.
Last November, however, the mora
toriub OF penalty and interest on de-
linquent taxes was in force and a wild
scramble was then made to take ad-
vantage of the law.
Last year arrrovinsltely 1900 in
allotment checks came to the county
treasurer's office for tax payments.
This year checks were not available
for this purpose. Also in last years big
period $35 1000 was received
through Federal Land bank loans to
farmers.
In 1884 taxpayers paid S136, 900 into
the county treasury. This also includ-
ed considerable delinquent payments.
This year delinquent payments were
light-those who had delinquent taxes
paid them last year under the nora
forum, wherever possible.
The current payment this year will
be on an average with previous years.

HOPPER INCREASE
IS EXPECTED HERE

Indications point to an increase in
grasshopper infestation in Sheridan
county next year, M. j. Peterson,
county agent states.
In 1885 a ) per cent infestation was
predicted, in 1886 20 per cent, and for
1887 a % per cent infestation is cx-
pected.
While these surveys are not 100 per
cent accurate, Mr.. Peterson says, the
information is better than having to
wait for the outbreak before making
plans for control.
The infestation will affect 81, 1856
acres with 473 tons of bait needed at
an estimated cost of S11.800.
A general increase in grasshoppel
infestations throughout Montana is ex-
pected, warns DR.. A. l.. Strand, state
entomologist and head of the Montana
State college entomologists. He bases
his prediction on the hopper survey
taken last fall in 43 counties by state
and federal entomologists.
OF these counties Is show the same
percentage of infestation as in the 1895
survey, nine show a smaller percent
age and Is show increases over the
1885 survey, DR.. Strand points out.
1t is estimated that a total of 7,758
tons of bait will be needed in the 1887
campaign at a total cost of S193, S66.
This is an increase of 1.487 tons over
the amount used in the 1886 campaign
and an increase in cost of S37, 1885 {.

Early County Settlers Thought
Of Water Conservation Too

Water rights and water conservation
were the thoughts of early county set
tiers too, old records at the courthouse
reveal.
The musty, time-worn records dis
close that hundreds of early day
projects, due principally to fulfilling
laws On proving up desert claims, were
recorded.
The records show that water ap-
preparations were filed at early dates
by Sheridan county pioneers, before
lands were surveyed when locations
were indicated by locally known land
marks or creeks. such as by ]. D. Mat
kin, on Eagle Creek at junction with
Big Muddy river on May %, 1900.
Other such rights include filings bv
Peter Marion, on Willow Creek and
other locations in 1902. John Bennet
on Big Muddy river so miles north of
