| curiosity. They were all caught IN the
Missouri river near the mouth OF Belt
creek. The largest was an lS-pound
sturgeon, which was 81 inches long and

If anything were lacking to hopelessly
dpmoralize Peck's Wool Growers Assocl
alton, that was fully supplied at the late
meeting when the association was turnec
into political concern and made az
service for the republican party. There
are probably as many democrats as re
publicans who are members of this asso
citation and who took an active interest II
it before it developed into a personal ane
local affair. But even if every member
were of one political creed that would no
warrant the association becoming par
tlsan affair, for, by SO doing, it simply
loses prestige and influence and can only
be looked upon as part Of one OF thu
political machines. Two years ago Peel
started out on personal canvass to cleo
the republican ticket of Choteau county
but he has grown ambitious since thel
and now enters the national arena.
