Legion Complete Plans for Snappy
Baseball Game for Fourth of July
What promises to bo one of the
best baseball games played on the
locil diamond in years has been ar .
... , ... ,
ranged by the sports committee of,
the local post of the American Legion
for their Fourth of July celebration,
The game will be between the Great
Falls Eeagle team and the Stockett
team for a purse of $100. The Eagles
are at present tied with the Great
Falls Elks for first place in the Great
Falls City league, but those who have
seen the two teams in action say that
the Eagles have the better team and
it can only be a question of meeting
leaders, unless there should be an un
looked for improvement in the Elks,
who are really playing high class ball
right now, Stockett, also, has a team
that have been consistent winners this
year, defeating all whom they have
met, and in looking around for a
worthy foe for the Eagles the I-egion
committee learned that it was the
Stockett team the Great Falls league
leaders looked to to keep them from
carrying off the county championship

Final payment of $100,000 for leas
es near Neihart owned by the late
William Mueller, has been made by
the Neihart Consolidated Silver Mm
ing company, according to a deed filed
Thursday with the county clerk and
recorder. ^ I
The lease in bond, probably the only
one ever entered into by an operating
company in the Neihart region, was
made two and one-half years ago by
the Consolidated, and since that time
the mine has paid for itself out of the
25 per cent royalty, more than $400,
000 in silver having been produced in
that time. Prior to the time it was
taken over it had produced some $250,-1
000 for its former owner.

time of the lease in bond, according to
company officials, having especially

There is a mile and a half haul to>

Since the absolute ownership of the

McCONKEY LOSES TEETH;
KEEPS HIS APPENDIX
i
Word received the latter part of last
week from Mr. and Mra, B, F. Mc
Conkey, who were at Rochester, Minn.,
where Mr. McConkey consulted Mayo
Bros, as to his health, said that an
operation for appendicitis was not rec
ommended by the famous surgeons,
but that the removal several teeth

moved. Mr. and Mrs. McConkey then
went on to Caas City, Mich., where
they are visiting relatives.
I
recommended and the teeth re
this fall, so negotiations were opened
with Stockett for the Fourth, and
. | closed.
, While Belt celebrations in years past
of, have put on sorne bucking contesta
of a high order, of late years there
have been no real good exhibitions of
this kind, and for a year or two none
at all, but this year thtre is promised
a bucking contest that will furnish all
the thrills that could be desired. The
contest will be under the personal
supervision of the famous cowboy art
ist. Charles M. Russell, than whom
there is probably no one in this part
of the state who knows better what
real bucking in a horse.
A purse of sufficient size to attract
the best riders m the county—and Rus
st 11 knows them, and is in corespond.
ence with them—will be offered. If
there are four entries who can con
vince Russell of their ability to put
up a good exhibition, a first and sen
ond prize will be offered, but in case
only three riders can qualify there
will be but one purse. Horses as well
a s riders will have to pass Russell's
inspection, and he has told the Legion
; boys that it is going to take some
thing better than merely a good saddle
! horse trained to buck upon command
■to get by, adding that he himself was
i just "achin' for some real sport."
The bucking contest and ball game
I will be but two events on a long list I
of field-sports, which will include all
the usual events for men, women and ;
children, some that will prove highly
amusing as well as those of a purely;
entertaining nature. And all will bo

negotiations now being under way with
a Great Falls band for their services
on jbe Fourth. There will also be

At a democratic county caucus held
in Great Falls last Friday night, Dom
inic Spogen of this city was decided
upon by the dope mixers as their can
didate for county auditor. Mr. Spogen
was talked as a candidate for state
senator, but gave up this idea and it
is said was looking with considerable
favor upon becoming a candidate for
treasurer, but_was pursuaded to fin
ally come out for auditor.- In the event
of his election Mr. Spogen pledges
himself to an "economical administra
tion of the affairs of the office, hav
ing in mind at all times the interests
of the taxpayers." "Economy,
en-|iency andbusiness-likeadministration"
are the planks in his platform. He
made his filing Saturday.
Other candidates on the democratic
caucus slatç^. whose nominations will
be filed later, it is said, are Jas. P.
Burns for sheriff, A J. Fousek for
treasurer and H. R, Eiekenveyer for
county attorney. Mr. Bums was de
feated for the office of sheriff two
years ago by Bob Gordon, and it is ;
rumored that Mr. Fousek had a strong
desire to try for the nomination this
time, but was pursuaded to come for
treasurer in the interests of the Bums j
candidacy.

Both Mr. Spogen and Mr. Fousek
have been frequent aspirants for of

While many farmers of this part of
the county have realized the serious
f th , rr „ s ,u 0 ,. wr aituation and
" ppt , , „
h* vo been putting up a hard fight
against them for the past two weeks,
it is evident that there are many
others who have not realized the men -1
ace or have been indifferent to its
I results. Those who have been com
batting the hoppers are well satisfied
with their work, and up to the first of
w oek had their individual prob
lenis will in hand, killing off the young
hoppers as they were hatched and
keeping them from spreading out over
their fields. Literally millions of them
have been killed, but there are millions
more hatching and it is the beHef of
many farmers that the fight muai
kept up for another two weeks or so
the crops are to be saved. With the
b^gt possible prospects for a bumper
crop, it is up to everyone to cooper
a t t jn the movement and see that the
hoppers are killed on their own places
a3 they hatch out.
\ casual walk over the fields, say
those who have made a study of the
situation, does not reveal tbe young
hoppers to any great extent, and it is
only a thorough inspection of the pas
turcs, straw and hay stacks, coulees,
an( j j n the growth along femes that
will expose the breeding places. The
poisoned bran car fully scattered in
these places, it is found by local users,
j s effective in killing off the hoppers,
while the treatment of a strip 16 to
20 feet wide about hay and grain
fields will often save the entire field,
\ a an evidence of the seriousness
0 f hopper menace, the Northern
Montana Credit Mens' association
have appointed a committee to invest
jjato and report on what côlnmunititf
are an( j which are not making a fight
against the insects. The probabilities ;

a basis for the giving of credit. ,

; who are using the mixture bring in the

1 continued during the hatching season,
; Another farmer down the creek said
■ Sunday that so far he had not found
1 many hoppers on his place, but had
, not really made a systematic hunt for
them. He hasn't much grain this year,
but just the same he believed every
one should do their part and said that
he was going to start a war against
i those on his place. One grasshopper
killed this year means many less next
bE»y«a r > was pointed out. The expense!
if*!« very small coHijratvd with the re
! suits. A hundred pounds of bran, the
only expense in Cascade county to the
farmer, the cost being about $1.50,
I will treat from 10 to 20 acres, and not
much work is required.
The mixture is being prepared by
Agriculturist Carroll of the local
school, and up to the first of the week
labout 12 tons had been mixed and sent
out. Some farmers have already used
nearly a half ton. Saturday night Mr.
Carroll ran out of arsenic and Sun
day drove to Great Falls for an addi
tional supply, only to find that the I
county agent's office was also out, and
Monday and Tuesday many farmers
drove to town after bait, only to go
back disappointed. A supply, Mr. Car
roll understands, is on the way from
the Anaconda smelter and was ex
pected here yesterday or this mom
ing and auother batch of bait will be
immediately mixed for distribution.
With every day counting and with
the fight just at a critical stage, it
was unfortunate that the supply of
; arsenic should be exhausted, but it
j will simply mean that those who want
, to save the crops will have to work
just tso much more diligently when a
supply of bait is available.
Mr. Carroll is at the service of the
farmers, ready to aid in any. way he
can. He says it is not too late yet
to begin a fight against the hoppers,
if it has not already been started, and
urges that farmers come to the audi
torium and get a supply of bait,

Judith Basin County Seat Case Ar
gued in Butte, Court Decision Soon
The contest between Hobson and
Stanford for the county seat of Judith
Basin county was argued before Judge
William E. Carroll in Butte Monday
Judge Carroll heard the case some
months ago at Stanford and more
than 200 witnesses were examined,
The final arguments were finished
Tuesday lifter which the matter was
taken under advisement and a decision
will be handed down within a few days,
In order to expedite matters and al
low the attorneys from out of town an
opportunity to finish the case as soon
as possible, Judge Carroll held a ses
sion Monday night, which did not close
; until late.
The town of Hobson contends that
there wore irregularities in the elec
^ on November, 1920, which gave
the county seat to Stanford by a ma
i jority of 39 votes. There was con
siderable difficulty after the suit was
filed to secure a judge that would be
agreeable to all parties concerned.
Governor Joseph M. Dixon was ap
pealed to and he named Judge William
E. Carroll of Butte to hear the case,
^ ta * l * n * f testimony occupied
j three weeks and at the conclusion by
mutual agreement it was decided that
closing arguments should be held
* n Butte.
One of the interesting points argued
j Monday was the case of Bernice Ho
bensack Moore, whose home was at
Windham, where her father had a
ranch. Though working in a clerical
capacity in Ix*wistown, she registered
and voted at her homo in windham at
the primary election in 1920 and about
a month later, September 30. she mar
ried a man named Moore who was reg
istered as a voter in Le Wigtown, in
Fergus county. The law says that a
married woman's residence is that of
her husband, nevertheless, she voted
for Stanford at her former home,
while her husband voted the same day
at Lewistown. The question is "Was
her's a legal vote for Stanford?"
The suit is entitled Homer T. Good
ell, plaintiff, of Hobson, against Ju
dith Basin county and Roy L. Fish, A.

Basing his estimate on a preliminary
check of the irrigated land records of
the county. County Assessor Harold
M. Mady figures that the county will
lose more than $4,000 in taxes this
vear from the Fort Shaw unit of the
Sun River reclamation project because
of the decision of Attorney General
W. D. Rankin, following decision of
the United States supreme court,
holding that the lands could only be
assessed on final certificate. Twoi
years ago Attorney General S. C. Ford
had given an opinion to John F. Gil
I lin, Jr., the assessor of the county,
to effect that the settlers should be ■
assessed upon their equity in the landjjbat
and that procedure was followed. The
result is that the assessment of the
present year will be shy about $000,
000 in full and true value under the
reclamation project, which means $90,
000 assessable value 1 , or about $4,
156.70 in cash which the county I
would have had this fall under the
previous method of assesment.
In addition the last two years taxes,
amount to about $8,200 which - the;
county «may have to kick back with,
that not having been decided, how-;
ever, in the opinion of Attorney Gen-1
oral Rankin. In addition to the i
troubles of the county, the schools ofj
Fort Shaw and Simms are also headed
for a shortage of funds which must be
made up by the rest of the school dis
tricts of the county under the county
unit system, and also the road fund,
for the project will be badly crippled.
