stances that must result in their mutual ben
eft. 1t would be difficult to attend sue
cessful and well conducted fair with ones
eyes open without picking up some bits OF
information or ideas of practical benefit.
To the business men of Benton it would
be an item of no little importance. Fair
week would be harvest time for them,
as the many who would attend from dis
tance would naturally do their trading at
that time. It would bring trade here that
would otherwise go to other towns, In fact
the business men and citizens of Benton are
as much interested in organizing this associ-
alton as the stockmen or farmers, and they
should be the first to take the matter in
hand.
As stated at the beginning it will soon be
time to start the ball rolling. II viii not do
to wait until next summer to take the initial
steps, for it will require time to prepare for
the first exhibition, and an organization can
not be effected too soon. Choteau county
can not afford to let another year glide by
without fair. We believe it can be made
decided success il the proper efforts are put
forth. Let the subject receive the attention
it me rits.

bag Yields.

W. o. Dexter threshed out the grain crop
of the Rowe brothers the day before yester-
day and the yield is such as to satisfy the
most credulous that Montana can grow excel
lent wheat and oats. Mr.. James Rowe had
1900 bushels of oats, as nice as ever came
from the spout OF separator, and it averaged
something in the neighborhood of forty
bushels to the acre. He had one acre Of
wheat only and that yielded ifty-one bushels.
This grain is new variety which Mr.. r. re-
ceiYed from the department at Washington
last season. William and Charley Rowe had
404 bushels Of oats which were harvested from
eight acres When it is remembered that r.
rigation was not resorted to to produce these
crops it will be readily seen that the valleys
OF Choteau county can produce the golden
grain as abuudantly as any il the Territory or
out of it.

THE LAST HOURS.
The Close of the Brave Struggle with Death
The vice-President notified OF the Presi-
dents Death.

WASHINGTON, September 1o.-At noon the
| following dispatch was received at the War
Department from --Attorney-General Nc
Veagh, at Long Branch:
Another chill ct 1890 o'clock, and outsid-
ers look for death at any moment. The doc
tors try to dlspel this feeling, but without
avail.
A few minutes later the Attorney General
sent the following
Chill still continues. Pulse now 40 and
growing weaker.
Everybody here in Washington has aban-
doned ali hope, and news of the Presidents
death is expected at any moment.
Lone BRANCH, September 10. 2 p. m.-
Boynton says the President is perceptibly
weaker than yesterday, and there was con-
he has been more or less delirious. There is
nothing encouraging to report, SO far, this
afternoon. He takes nourishment and stim-
ulants as USUAL
WASHINGTON, September l9.-A private
dispatch was received at the Trea sury De-
partment to-day from Long Branch, stating
that Mrs. Garfield has given up all hope Of
the Presidents recovery.
LONDON, September 19.-Lowell, the Amer
lean Minister, received a telegram from the
Queen expressing the grief of herself and
family at the discouraging reports regarding
President Garfield, and requesting all intelli-
gence regarding his condition TO be immedi-
ate]y forwarded to Balmoral.
Lone BRANCH, September 19.-The Presi
dent slept most of the time since morning.
There are no evidences of change for the
better or worse for several hours. (The
above was dated 1876 p. N.
ELBERoN, September 19.-The President
died at 1926 p. m.
From what can be ascertained, death was
from sheer exhaustion. Warren Young, as
sistant to Private Secretary Brown, brought
the news from the cottage at ten minutes
before eleven.
The first indication that anything serious
had occurred, was the appearance of mes
senger at the Eberon hotel, who obtained q
carriage and drove rapidly off. It was sup
posed that he had gone to summon the mem
bers of the Cabinet who left here at about
half-past nine tonight.
McVeagh has notified Vice President Ar
thur of the Presidents death.

The Judith Country.

There is probably no portion of Montana
that has attracted recently more general at
tention than the now celebrated Judith
Basin or that within tWevemonth has set
tied up more rapidly. In fact this portion
of our Territory has not been open to settle
ment many months, and even now the most
desirable locations have been taken and set
tied upon by the hardy pioneer. Where
year ago a man might travel for days with
out meeting white man there are now hum
dreds of ranches and it is not over drawing
the picture to say hundreds of people exam
ing the country with the view of locating.
Last week Dr.. Wheelock and Mr.. Kelly
returned from weeks wandering in the
Basin and they are quite enthusiastic over
the country. They took in" almost the
whole of it and as they travelled with the view
of seeing the country and making an esti-
mate Of its worth their opinions IN the prem
ises are worth treasuring. Leaving Benton
they went by way OF Highwood, Arrow
creek, Antelope Buttes, Wolf creek, Sage
creek, ETC., soon drawing up at Utica where
Joe Cutting has established good business.
They pronounce the lower Arrow creek. an
excellent farming country, but as yet it is
not settled to any extent At Utica man
can count within sight twenty-five ranches
Wnere last year not single one WOulu nave
met the eye. From Utica they made an ex-
tensive pilgrimage through the Basin, cross
ing Ross Fork, Buffalo creek, the Two Trout
creeks, Big and Little Rocky, Beaver and
Cottonwood to Big Spring Of this expanse
Of country all that beyond Ross Fork has
been burned over by the fres-a section for
ty miles wide by perhaps hundred long.
They were in the Basin a week on the move
constantly, but could not, they tell US, travel
ten miles In any direction without meeting
somebody on the search of a desirable loca-
ton, Although there is plenty of good land
not yet taken the ''garden spots have been
located and those who now seek homes in
the Judith Basin must be satisfied with Sec
ond choice. Messrs Wheelock and Kelly
think, as do all others who visit the Judith
country, that it is destined in time to become
great stock and agricultural section. It's
rapid settlement bodies increased trade and
prosperity for Benton.

Last week a successful fair was held at
Missoula, and next week the Territorial Fair
will be held at Helena. This is the fair
season, and our readers will grant that it is
fair to discuss the fair question at this time.
Is there any good reason why Choteau
should be Deninu her sister counties IN the
matter Of an annual STOCK anu agricultural
exuioiLlon Certainly none can be offered.
Ine STOCK interests OF this county are not
secoud to any N the Territory, and within
The last few years it has been demonstrated
that our valleys, when tickIed by the ploW,
will yield the golden grain and the various
kinds OF vegetables as abundantly as any
section within the broad limits OF Montana.
The present season more especially has de
monstrated this fact. Not only is the yield
of grain and vegetables large, but an unsual
acreage has been sOWn. Ihe success
achieved by the farmer this season will
prompt many others to till the soil next year
and beyond AMP possible doubt the agricnl-
turaI interests OF Choteau county for 1889
will be far ahead Of any preceding year.
The same will undoubtedly be true OF our
stock interests and in fact OF all the indus
tries Of the county.
Tue rapid development Of our resources
demands at the hands of the citizens Of
Choteau county that they should organize
and maintain fair, or stock and agricultural
association. And it should be done soon, so
that the preliminary steps may be taken TO
have a successful exhibition next fall. 1t
would seem needless TO reclte to Intelligent
readers the many advantages that would re-
suit from such an association. they must
must be apparent 70 any one.
Nothing could exert 8 greater influence to-
wards improving the stock OF the c0unty-a
consummation deVoutly to be hoped for or
towards advancing IN q general way our
stock interests. Il would be an ANIMAL re-
union for stock men, where they could see
the fruits and Iabors Of others IN that line,
talk over the questions that effect their inter-
ests and take home with then much practi-
cal information The success OF q few e1-
hibitors Of thoroughbred or graded stock
would impel others to try the experiment"
| and with the impetus a fair would give q
few years would show wonderful improv-
ment IN the horses, cattle and sheep of the
| county. It is the experience Of all com
mHnitIes that county fairs exert just such IN
/ auenees.

THIRD EDITI ON
THE CxAR IN PERIL !.

A REMARKABLE PLOT Br WHICH THE
ROYAL FAMILY WERE 70 HAVE
Bern KILLED.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 2b.-The
have again planned the
death Of the Gear. The Imperial
family have, in consequence, deeided
upon removing at once from Gatchina.
From private source l have received
cant,rmation of this report. The
Russian police. without allowing the
fact to become known, have made
numerous arrests in St, Petersburg,
Charkow and Tchernigon. Among
the prisoners are Chief of Polics or
an important provincial city. two
daughters OF o high state.ofhcial, and
two Jewish merchants, besides num-
bsr OF students and active members oil
the Nihilist party. The plot was an
extraordinary one. 1t was decided to
cause balloon to ascend near Cat
china carrying Q quantity Of dynamite
and explosive fire balls, together with
appliances to cause the balloon to fall
within the palace yard, when 1t would
explode and set the palace on fire.
In the confusion it was intended to
seize the Czar and his family. The
machinery seized shows that every
thing was in readiness for the execu-
tion Of the plot.
