The high wind Wednesday evening
blew down the smoke stack.
Another week of fine weather and
the crops in the valley will all be
threshed.
L. Authier has purchased the Stone
sawmill up Bridger and will operate
it this winter.
Hugh Coleman has sold his ranch

THE COUNTY BOND CASE.
The Commissioners Defeated for the
Third Time
The third decision in the county
bond case was delivered by the dis
trict court last Monday.
The defendants had filed their
amended answer to the plaintiffs'
complaint and Messrs. Cockrill and
Pierce, attorneys for the plaintiffs,
believing the amended answer did not
deny the allegations of the complaint
or set up any defense, fi.ed a motion
for judgment on the pleadings, which
motion was fully argued before Judge
Hartman, judge prot tern. After tak
the same under advisement he
mg
rendered his decision on Monday
morning, sustaining the motion and
ordering judgment for the plaintiffs
on the pleadings.
Judge Hartman, in an exhaustive
opinion, held that the board of county
commissioners could not borrow for
a "single nurpose", to wit: "That of
current expenses," an amount ex
ceeding $10,000 without first submit
ting the question to a vote of the peo
ple; that such act of the board in at
tempting to borrow a sum in oexcess
of $10,000 was contrary to the con
stitution of the state of Montana.
He further held that the amended
answer did not deny the material al
legations of the plaintiffs' complaint,
hence his judgment for the plaintiffs
on the pleadings.
This is the third time that the
board of county commissioners has
been knocked out in its theory of
the case. It does seem that the
board should take a tumble to itself
and discontinue this litigation by at
once revoking all its proceedings to
wards the issuing of the county bonds,
especially when the same is against
the will of the taxpayers and, as it
would seem, without any warrant or
authority of law.

muscular-lunged barristers of the
state, and commanders and staff of
ficers of the silk stocking and silver
buckle brigade. On the part of Hel
ena it seems to be a regular dress
parade campaign, in which Pullman
sleepers and dining cars, opera houses
and mandolin* clubs, ex-senators, ex
judges, ex-congressmen, ex-governors,
ex-U. S. attorneys and ex-million
aires of the temporary capital con
spicuously figure. Such a brilliant
array of equippages, of brass/ brain
and boodle, accompanied by such a
flourishing of trumpets and a beating
cf bass drums was never seen and
heard before in all these Rocky moun
tain regions.
The meaning of all this is that the
little, unpretentious city of Anaconda,
a modern beehive of productive and
remunerative industry, headquarters
of the overall and tin bucket brigade,
has the audacity to aspire to become
the permanent seat of government of
the great state of Montana. Surely
someting dreadful is going to hap
pen, as all Helena with its seventeen,
more or less, millionaires in distress.
its two score of high-toned politicians
out of a job, and its soap and crack
er factories running on short time, is
moved from center to circumference,
at its wits' end over the prospective
calamity."
In the meantime Anaconda is
cheerfully and complacently pursuing
the even tenor of its way, saying but
little yet industriously sawing wood,
trusting its meritorious cause to the
good judgment and integrity of the
masses, whose righteous decision will
be emphatically recorded at the bal
lot box on the sixth of November
next.
.Ten days hence the battle will have
been fought and the victory won, and
it is but reasonable to anticipate that
the "one man town" with its 500
babies a year, its 3,000 honest and
industrious workingmen and its
steady payroll of $11.000 a day will
have achieved a triumphant victory.

Situation*
Of late there has been a great deal
of discussion regarding thd question
of marketing livestock through the
open central markets versus direct
country selling. This is really an
important question and one that will
have to be faced and dealt with.
The advocates of central marketing
feel that it is the most logical man
ner in which to form the contact be
tween the livestock producer and the
distributor of meat food products.
It is true from an economical stand
point that the central livestock mar
ket is soundly based upon the same
principle that has proved so valuable
in the centralization of other markets
such as the grain exchange, the se
cunty exchange, cotton exchange and
other open forums where buyers and
n° f va + n0 i us comm 9 dltl ® s ma y
meet on neutral ground for the pur
P 08 ® of buying and se.lmg upon price
levels gauged by the natural laws of
supply and demand. So far as the
central livestock markets are concern

P er *
It may be possible that a better
system of livestock marketing will
come about in the year^to come than
that which has been funiished by the
open central markets located at the
various stock yards throughout the
country. It doesn't annear that any
such plan has yet been evolved and

85 per cent of the meat food animals
markekted in the United States pass
through the 63 stock yards which are

better system of marketing come

who have created and maintained the

If the central markets are wrong

However, economists and.
close observers are agreed that the

producers to avail themselves of the

through the central markets until

' to stand for being milked three times

; would seem to be the slogan of the
| super-cow when she begins doing
: three shifts instead of two.
j n a paper with the title "Three
Times Milking" read before the
Farmers' club, London, England, last
May, G. Holt-Thomas said that at
leading shows in the old country cer-'
tain cows were now required to be
milked "three times dailv
j ""
j
on
He held that uru^r modern feeding
■ conditions the heavy yielders were not
producing the quantity of milk they
j were capable of doing where milked
but twice a day. Milked twice the
best cows, he claimed, would produce
about eight and one-half gallons
whereas milked three times these
cows might be 10, 11 or even 12 gal-
Ion cows. In return for three milk-
intrs he contended the
titled to be fed three times a day.
Advantages claimed for this super
cow were summarized by Mr. Thom
as as follows:
(1) Increased yield of both milk
and butter.
(2) Three feedings lightens the too
heavy feedings of morning and eve
ning.
(3) Insures cows being milked
late in the evening which tends to
raise the low per centage of fat of
the morning yield.
(4) A much more regular daily
"ield is obtained through the lacta
tion.
SEED PEA OUTPUT
REDUCED THIS YEAR
Montana's seed pea acreage was
nearly cut in half when growers made
a sharp adjustment to the general
conditions of over-production affect
ing the canning pea industry, accord
ing to J. G. Diamond, agricultural
statistician, who in a recent survey of
pea acreage contracted for 1927 found
that houses whose contracts last year
represented about 70 per cent of,the
1926 acreage had only half the acre
age signed this year compared with
a year ago.
The decreased acreage this year
came largely in the canners varieties
of peas, the garden varieties being
reduced slightly.
The seed pea industry in Montana
has experienced a remarkable growth
from a yearly farm value of but
$200,000 in 1922 to a value of $1,176,
000 in 1925. The declines since then
represent an adjustment to the out
side demand for Montana seed which
at the rate Montana was producing
was over supplied. The 1927 crop is
expected to move at prices to grow
ers that will average about the same
as a year ago for the canners vari
eties of peas, while prices for garden
varieties in some cases have been re
ported higher. This would indicate
that the bottom of the period of price
declines of the past three years had
about been reached this year.
STORING BUTTER
FOR WINTER USE
If the summer supply of butter in
the farm home is larger than is used
by the family and the winter supply
is less than is desirable, it is some
times convenient to store the summer
surplus for use in winter. To insure
good keeping qualities in butter the
United States department of agricul
ture has found it best to use Pasteur
ized sweet cream. The cream should
be churned at a low temperature and
the butter washed so that it will be
firm and waxy.
Rolls or prints of butter should be
wrapped in parchment butter paper,
placed in a stone crock, and covered
vrith strong brine. This preserves the
! bu*tcr much better than packing it
; Armi - in a crock and covering the
if ! «wriV . merely with paper or with
dry paraffin. Brine storage is
