A complete set of Montana Reports (down to 1909) consists of 36 vols. The Pacific Reporter, 97 vols., contains all decisions subsequent to vol. 3 Montana, and all decisions for the last 26 years of California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming, and all decisions of Arizona and Oklahoma. The tables of crosscitations furnished with the Pacific make it a simple matter to find the cases, even if cited by the State Report page and volume. Owing to the limited number of local precedents, it is necessary to go outside of Montana for case-law authorities, and the Pacific Reporter is the medium naturally chosen. Indeed, the set is usually considered indispensable in all the Pacific Coast states. This is especially true as to Montana, for the reason that the Montana Code was adapted from that of California, and the courts follow the California decisions closely. The Pacific contains 75 per cent. of all the California decisions, including hundreds that are nowhere else reported. Write for price and full information. Nebraska. Citizenship-Age-Character.
