BRIDGE SUIT
is CONTINUED AT CLOSE
OF HOT COURT HEARING

After a heated session Fri
day between lawyers for both
sides, Montana'S noW-famous
bridge insurance case was con-
tinued by District Judge Albert
Besancon to September %.
The case then will be argued
on its merits-that is whether
or not Secretary of state sam
W. Mitchell and Attorney Gen.
eral \ Harrison j. Freebourn
should be permanently re-
strained from paying the $780,
600 for an insurance policy COW
ering Montana's bridges for
$12, 000, 900 for three years.
At a meeting of the board of
examiners, when Freebourn and
Mitchell voted to buy the pol
icy and pay the premium i'm
mediately, Governor Roy E.
Ayers argued against the &C
ton pointing out the state lost
only $9,734 in bridge damage
during the last three years.
John M. Wheeler of Billings,
highway commission member,
obtained a temporary injunc-
ton preventing payment Of the
premium.
The state highway commits
sion Friday filed a petition to
act as intervenor in the case,
contending the policy had not
been approved by Governor Ay-
ers and State Treasurer Ray
N. Shannon, and that it had
been rejected by the highway
commission.
John G. Brown, attorney for
Freebourn and Mitchell, objec-
ted to filing the petition, de-
claring, eve object to his suit
being dragged along by the
people who brought it," E. S.
Booth, counsel for the highway
commission, and E. A. Peterson,
highway attorney, argued that
the suit was brought to save
$4,000 to Montana taxpayers"
and that "a little delay would
hurt no one"
Booth told the court he want
ed additional time to contact
several states Freebourn and
Mitchell said had taken out
bridge insurance. He said he
had written one state and had
been informed it had quit car
rying insurance on bridges as
it was considered a needless
expenditure.

EXPLAINS WHEAT ACREAG7
ALLOTMENTS IN STATE

MOntana,S share OF the ma
tional 1889 wheat acreage allot-
ment which is now being dis
trlbuted among the wheat
farmers of the state, was based
upon the expectation that Jne
United States would make ev-
cry reasonable and sound eff
fort to get its share of the
worlds export trade in wheat
both this year and in following
years, says A. j. Borton, state
executive officer, in charge of
The AAA program in Montana.
What the allotments are in
tended to do is to keep the
United States from accumulat-
ing a supply of wheat larger
man can possibly be used in
this country or be exported to
advantage. Borton says that
farmers now getting their wheat
allotments should bear in mind
the fact that the allotments do
not mean any letting up on the
effort to keep a fair share of
the world wheat market for the
United States farmers. Borton
issued the following statement
on the export situation received
from the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration:
Wheat growers cannot expect
the world market to absorb a
surplus of U. S. wheat as large
as that which now exists. This
country has a supply of wheat
of nearly 500 million bushels
above its requirements at home
and it cannot expect the world
market to take much more than
100 million bushels.
Last year, there was an in
crease in exports of American
wheat, and this country sent
about 100 million bushels
abroad. But this does not mean
that wheat growers can again
look to the world market to take
all the wheat they can produce.
Wheat production fell off in
some exporting countries last
year, and this contributed to
the increase in exports from
this country.
Indications are that the world
market will take less rather
than more wheat as compared
with last year. World produce
ton for 1888 is expected to be
the highest on record. Wheat
production in some of the Eur
opean wheat importing coun-
tries has increased.
Import restrictions and spec
ial trade negotiations are being
restored by many countries
which had relaxed these re-
:strictions to bring in more
wheat last year.
While every effort is being
made to obtain for the U. S.
wheat grower as large a share
OF the world market as possible,
the prospects are that exports
for this year will not exceed
those of last year.
With a prospect of having
nearly 400 million bushels more
than this country consumes and
exports, the wheat surplus prob
!em becomes one of the adjust
Ing production to actual re-
quirements. Wheat acreage al
lotments enable wheat growers
to join in bringing their acre
age into line with wheat re-
quirements.

CROP INSURANCE
ASSURES INCOME

A minimum of a couple of
pennies a bushel will buy an
assured income next year for
farmers protecting their wheat
crop with Federal crop insur-
ance, says E. K. Bowman, state
crop insurance supervisor.
This exceedingly low cost,
remember" Bowman said pro
tects an investment represent
ing many times that amount.
Just to prepare and seed his
land, 1T costs a farer from SIPS
to $3.50 an acre. And that does
not include labor and harvest
ing costs. Yet for a minimum of
2 IL cents a bushel, a grover
can buy a guarantee from the
federal government that he will
nave wheat for sale or seed next
year"
Bowman emphasized this cost
was on the basis of current
wheat prices and would be ap-
pllcable to farms having a min
mum loss cost with an aver
age yield of Is bushels an acre,
Under these conditions, a
grower could be assured his in
come next year would be IS
per cent of his average IS BUSH
el yield at a rate cost of about
2 IL cents a bushel.
Even the maximum cost per
buShel, about 8 or 10 cents
BoWman added, makes crop
insurance a big value for a
cheap price,"

HOG CHOLERA WANING

An epidemic Of cholera that
has killed approximately 800
hogs in Montana this season, is
waning, according to reports re-
ceived by the state livestock
sanitary commission. The dis
ease has been confined prime
ipally to the eastern and nor
thern sections of the state.
Fatal in nearly 80 per cent
of the cases, the malady can
be checked by early vaccination
and quarantine of infected an
imals, the commission said. It
is caused by a tiny organism
that can not be seen, and is
easily communicated from one
animal to another.

The practice of calling the

ner: During the American revo-
luton a man named Samuel
Wilson was a beef inspector at
Troy, N. Y, and was very pop
ular with the men in his en-
ploy, no always called him I'm
Gle Sam. After the inspection
of the beef, it was shipped to
a contractor named Ebenezer
Anderson, and was always
marked "E.A.U.S." A joking
workman, being asked what
those letters were the abbrevia-
ton for, replied that he did not
know, unless they were for Eb-
enezer Anderson and "Uncle
SAM" The joke was kept up
and spread until it became
common to refer to all packages
marked ~. S." as belonging to
"Uncle Sam"
