Night Fishing To
Be Out This Yedr

Meat fishermen" who like to
dangle baited hooks into
streams when. they should be
sleeping are going to be out of
luck this year, as the state fish
and game commission has set
a fishing day from 400 in the
morning to 1000 at night. Most
of the sportsmen's organizations
throughout the state asked the
commission to adopt such a rul-
ing.
John Schofield, state superin-
tendent of fisheries and hatch
cries, said the new ruling will
save thousands of trout annual
ly for local sportsmen and tour
lists, where previously the fish
have only been going into Che
bags of "fish-by-night meat
hogs"
The commission retained the
bag limit set last year-15 fish
of IS pounds and one addition
al fish. A recommendation that
the fishing season be closed
November IS instead of March
IS was turned down. The COM
mission also voted down a last
years ruling preventing the use
of "coW-bell" SpinnerS.

BOARD OF EXAMINERS APPROVES
BIG HORN COUNTY REFUND CLAIM
Legislature Must Now
@. K. Demand For Money
Poid To State Hospital

A letter from Attorney Gen.
eral Harrison j. Freebourn stat
ing that the State Board of Ex-
aminerS has approved Big Horn
county's claim for $26, $50 In pay
ments made to the state hos
pltal at Warm Springs was e
ceived here yesterday by Coun-
ty Attorney Bert w. Kronmiller.
Since the Board of Examiners
has approved this claim, it will
not be necessary to institute an
action to determine the legality
OF the request for a refund, and
the matter can be presented to
the state legislature next jan
uary for appropriation to reim-
burSe the county Golfers.
MI. Kronmiller submitted the
claim in person several months
ago. The amount is a total of
payments made from this coun-
ty to the state hospital from
the year 1926 until 1899, when
the lllegality of such payment
was discovered.
The county had been billed by
the superintendent of the state
hospital regularly for am
cunts alleged to be due each
month for the care and keep of
insane persons at the rate of
a dollar a day for each person
committed to the institution
from this county.
The orders of the court COM
hitting the insane persons to
the hospital provided for the
payment from county funds,
but laws rule that all persons
cared for at the state hospital
who are unable to bear the ex-
pense of maintenance must be
cared for by the state and not
the county.
Big Horn county was the only
county in the state which had
been sending funds in for this
purpose. The discovery of this
error was made during a hear
ing of an insane matter before
Judge Guy c. Derry. Judge Der
ry was instrumental in OBJ
tanning immediate action and
in making of orders nun pro
tune, correcting all of the Or
ders of commitment made by
the court in Big Horn county
since 1926.
County Attorney Kronmiller
was advised at the time Of the
presentation of the claim that
there was not a sufficient am
cunt in the state hospital fund
for reimbursement and that
money for the refund must be
appropriated by the legislature
at its next meeting.

heart trouble. He is survived by
his wife and one son. The son

ted States navy.

GROWERS, SUGAR
OFFICIALS MEET
Discuss Provisions OF
Beet Contracts
For 1910

The directors of the Big Horn
County Beet Growers associa-
ton met with local Holly Sugar
corporation officials in the COM
munity room of the court house
here Monday evening and dis
ccussed any differences that
have existed between the grow
ers and the company on the
1910 contract.
The growers were represent
ed by the following directors:
Jacob A. Koebbe, president; H,
A. Williams, secretary; Fred
Defines and Fred Benzel. George
Morrison of Sheridan, chief ag-
riculturalist of the Holly Sugar
corporation in this district, and
L.. r. Cool, agriculturalist for
the local factory, represented
the sugar company.
Following a thorough discus
sion of the provisions of the
1910 contract offered the grow
ers, the directors voted to ac-
cept it. The contract contains
a few minor differences from
last years agreement.
The directors expressed the
belief that there is still an I'M
equal division of profits between
professor and grower, but they
feel that under present condi-
tons 1t would be impossible to
remedy the situation this year.
The Holly officials have sta
ted that, due to floods and 9TH
er adverse conditions, there will
be no restrictions on acres al
lotted to growers, each of whom
may plant as much acreage this
year as he chooses.
In this connection, Chairman
George Miller of the Big Horn
county Agricultural Conservation
committee, has received the fol-
lowing message from R. J. Nc
Kenna, acting chairman of the
M o ntana Soil Conservation
committee: Beet acreage allot-
ment for any farm under the
1910 sugar program will be the
acreage planted to sugar beets
for the production Of sugar,
This supercedes previous an
nouncements relative to 1910
sugar beet alIotments. Removal
of acreage limitations is possible
as it is no longer expected that
the 1910 crop, when added tt
current supplies, will be more
than continental beet quota ano
carryover requirements be-
cause of the unfavorable china
tic conditions of some areas anc
other factors. County commit
tees should discontinue review
of past history and notification
of sugar allotments.

Must Apply Soon
In Rdnge Progrdm

Farmers and rancherS VINO
intend to utilize The deferred
grazing practice in 1910 must
get approval from the Big Horn
County Agricultural Conserva-
ton committee at Hardin be-
fore April IS, Chairman George
Miller stated today.
In all cases it will be neceS-
sary for the operators to fur
nish the committee with a le-
gal description of the land they
dntend to defer, he added.
This year the deferred graz
ing payment will be determined
by the performance of supple
mental practices and will not be
based on an outright payment
as previously has been the case,
Mr.. Miller said. These supple
mental proctices will give opera
tors an opportunity to utilize
needed conservation practices
not included in the handbook.
Payment on these supplement
tai practices will be based by
the county committee on a cost
statement made by the opera
tor. However maximum rates
for some of the practices have
been established and minimum
rates for others, Mr.. Miller
pointed out. Additional infor-
nation can be obtained at the
county office in Hardin.
This year operators may earn
IS per cent of their non-crop
pasture land allowance by
practicing deferred grazing on
Is per cent of their grazing
land providing it is earned by
performing supplemental prac-
tices. Non-crop pasture land is
the term used for range land
under the 1910 program. Dates
for deferred grazing are from
April Is to August IS.

WATER USERS
MEETING IS
WELL ATTENDED
Group Discusses Con-
~strucion Charges.
Voter Allotment

The Crow Reservation Water
Users Association held a meet
ing in the community room of
the Big Horn county court
house Saturday afternoon, with
J. R. Boyd of Wyola, president,
in the chair.
There were nearly 100 stock
men and farmers of the Little
Big Horn and Big Horn valleys
present. Directors in attendance
included Matt H. Tschirgi and
]. r. Boyd of Wyola, Tom Vel
lowtail, Simon Therney and

Meeting with the water users
were Kenneth Simmons of Bill
lings, attorney for the U. S. Ir-
rigation Service, and W. S. Han
ma of Billings, district engineer
for the U. S. Irrigation service,
who discussed matters pertain
ing to accrued construction
charges and plans for the COM
ing irrigation season.
Senator Tom H. Burke OF
Billings, attorney for the asso-
citation, reported progress in the
contemplated suit to be filed
by the organization to elimin-
ate unjust construction charges.
Due to the shortage of re-
serve moisture in the mountains
members of the association are
threatened with many irriga-
ton problems during the COM
ing season. It is expected that
a water commissioner will be
employed during the months of
June, July, August and Septem-
Der, to equitably distribute the
water of the Little Big Horn
and its tributaries. The water
will be distributed on a per acre
of irrigable land basis.
It is anticipated that the gov
ernment's answer to the brief
that has been filed by Attor-
ney Burke for the water users
with the solicitor general of the
interior department will be filed
by April IS.
In this answer, it is thought,
will be the information as to
whether or not it will be neces-
sary to pay construction charges
this spring.
