After driving the crew off with a !
rifle and for several days retaining'
possession of the ti gdredge which !
is digging an irrigation ditch near 1
Harlem, Mont., Gust Abelin, a farm-i
er living three miles west of that!
place, discovered he had misunuer- i
stood the instructions of his attorney,
and abandoned his position. !
Although he released the dredge,;
Abelin would not permit the contract-j
ors to continue work on his land. The!
dredge was moved around it, but a!
stretch of several hundred feet on
Abelin 's property c&nnot be complet
ed until the matter is settled in court
Legal proceedings with that end. in
j view have been instituted by offi
dais of the irrigation district,
Mr. Abelin has lived
on his land
for the past SO years and has con
structed an irrigation system of hi?
own by which he takes water out of
Thirty-Mile creek. He figures that
this is sufficient for him and he hari
been a strenuous objector to being
taken into the irrigation district
Now that he is in the district, he has
been trying, to get out and thought
that by holding up the work and re
fusing to allow the ditch to be dug
across his land, he might establish
some precedence that would be to his
advantage in a lawsuit.
MONTANA FARMERS SAVE
$16 FOR EVERY Pi SPENT
IN WAR ON HOPPER PEST.

P armers in 21 counties of Montana
report that they saved more than a
million dollars the past year by work
ing in co-operation with the extension
service of the State college in con
grasshopper pest thru
land was treated' with poison with an
approximated saving of $1,027,060,
and 23,720 acres of pasture land was
treated with an approximate saving of
825,250, making the total approximate
saving for the year $1,052,310.
Farmers apparently were glad to
avail themselves of the offer of the
extension service to assist in the
trol of the pest, for 6,809 of them used
poisoned bait totaling 3764.594
pounds.

The general opinion was expressed
by county agents that it was the best i
plan to mix the bait at community!
meetings. Several reasons were giv-l
en for this, the chief one being thati
many farmers had never attended '
demonstrations tad so did not know j
how to mix the ngredients. In some!
in cances it was ^ound advisable to
the ingredients over to the farm
ers and let them mix their own bait,

There were fewer reports this year
of cattle or horses being poisoned by
the gasshooper bait- This is very
liable to happen when old bait is
dumped where cattle can get at it,
when bait is spread on the field in
lumps or when arsenic barrels are left!
where cattle can lick them.

HE TOOK POISON AND
SLASHED THROAT.
Because he had been ordered com
mitted to the state hospital
ebriety charge, although the sentence
on an in
had been suspended, Edward Mayes,
proprietor of the Mineral Hotel at
Alberton., attempted to end his life.
He took poison and then slashed his
throat, but his efforts failed. He is
now in a hospital at Missoula and is
expected to recover. Hayes is about
35 years of age.
Hayes was given an examination at
Superior last Monday and the com
mitment, it is said, was made upon the
testimony of two physicians. How
ever, Hayes was released and re
turned to Alberton. Friends say he
was depressed over what had taken)
place and determined to end it all.,
According to Dr- Thomas B. Marquis,
of Alberton, who took Hayes to the
hospital at Missoula, the man is well
liked in Alberton, .where he has lived
for 15 yçars. "Hayes is his own worst
enemy," said Dr. Marquis.
Hayes' mother died several months
ago. He is said to be fairly well off
financially.
