A Dillon Montana lawmaker article on dry farming is challenged by the Rocky Mountain Husbandman as misrepresented. The Beaverhead valley debate centers on plowing a year ahead to conserve moisture and seed rates for sod lands and raising crops without irrigation.
Gov Norris calls a good roads convention in Billings aimed at crafting road law revisions and long term Montana planning. The event seeks to produce comprehensive, workable road improvement strategies benefitting the public and state in coming years.
The paper argues convicts should be used to build roads to cut penitentiary costs and aid public works. It notes voter registration in three wards shows uneven alderman representation and pushes for city redistricting. It reports rapid east side development with lots sold, more parcels surveyed, a new railroad, a five thousand dollar garage, new residences, and a public hospital funding drive as Dillon prospers.
The writer laments a paper that rarely supports virtuous civic improvement yet freely editorials on vicious dog fights. He likens the paper to a fat dog in a mud hole grunting at decency, preferring dirty troughs to clean throughlines.
The paper invites an intelligent Dillon reader to argue against the new saloon closing ordinance, requiring a signed name. Mary MacLane recovers from scarlet fever and contributes a lengthy unlisted piece to last Sunday's Butte Evening News, including a signature laden passage.
The piece notes Cannon’s strong early impact but asserts the small revolver’s superior performance in the end. It emphasizes that the large gun’s noise faded as the smaller weapons prevailed, marking a shift in dominance.
The article notes saloons closing their doors as proprietors and many city citizens attend a nonpartisan caucus. It speculates on W. A. Clark backing a eastern Democrat, warns of a U S senator race in Montana, and discusses compensation to property owners, rail traffic hopes, and upcoming show events with women competing next Sunday.
The text notes the government’s role in smoke clearing efforts while implying aid to farmers and referencing Mary MacLane’s cigarette smoke as a cultural aside.
The report notes a nonpartisan caucus held on the 23rd and suggests the date signals a 23 split in favor of either wets or drys. The language hints at a charged interpretation of the vote threshold without stating a final result.
Two dry Sundays have passed in Dillon and locals warn the upcoming Sunday could bring a third drought period. Residents consider measures as the town awaits guidance on water use policies.
The notice states Alphonso cannot open a saloon in Wyno, with authorities denying the proposed establishment and outlining the regulatory reason or prohibition governing the site.
Sheriff’s office arrested Michael Hegarty Jr and Will Hegarty of Farlin for damaging a Beaverhead Ranch sheep camp on Birch Creek. Will, about 12, pleaded guilty before Judge Poindexter and was paroled. Michael remains in county jail with pending grand larceny charges and possible reform school placement.
