Worlds Fair Commissioners.

At the meeting OF the worlds fair com
m~issioners, held at Great Falls last week,
considerable business of Importance was
transacted. A number of communications
from parties throughout the state were
read, offering every kind and variety of ex-
hibits and soliciting space in the Montana
building. The committee on agriculture
made a report stating that the directors
of the worlds fair had decided to make
provision for an exhibit Of fruit n vege-
tables during the month of September,
1898, and they recommended that this
state he represented by an exhibit OF corn,
wheat, barley, oats, grasses and clover in
different varieties. The report of the
building committee created much diseus-
sion. The report recommended hat DIR.
A. H. Mitchell be authorized to proceed to
Chicago and let the contracts for the cree
ton of the state building by piecemeal at a
cost not to exceed SIG, O00. l.. II. Hersh-
field objected to the adoption of the re
port, and it was carried only after numer.
Gus amendments were defeated.
The treasurer reported n balance on
hand Of SS,409.62 from So, 900 set aside
for last year. The board appropriated
So, 900 for this year, to be divided, 50, 900
for salaries, $4,000 for collection OF ex-
hibits, $4,000 for women, and $4,000 for
miscellaneous. The irrigation exhibit was
discussed, and Executive COMMISSIONS
Bickford was instructed to correspond
with the secretaries of Colorado and Idaho
boards. Rev. F. ID. Kelsey, OF Helena, was
hired to make "A collection of grasses at a
cost Of $500. The next meeting will be at

rain. He was getting along very nicely
with lambing, notwithstanding the disa-
greeable weather, and said his loss would
be trifiing. Mr.. Hilger does not think the
loss will be great throughout the county,
as wool growers generally are well pre-

We clip the following from the last issue
of the Big Timber Pioneer, tie editor of
visit: "Lewistown is the county seat Of
Fergus county, and is situated about the
center Of the Judith Basin, is a homelike
looking town and does IA large business.
The people of L~ewistown are extremely
h~ospitable and enjoy seeing anyone from
the outside 1t is ut this place that our
old friend Burg, formerly Of Livingston,
now holds out. Mr.. Burg is the register of
the Lewistown land office, and judging
from what we saw and heard is as firmly
fixed in the hearts OF the Fergus county
people and as popular as he was in Park
county. One OF the largest stores in Lew
town is that owned by W. W. Dewitt, who
has recently completed a handsome two
story brick block. equipped with all mod
ern improvements. Mr.. Dewitt carries a
large stock, amounting to about 500, 900,
and knowing how to treat his customers,
enjoys a large trade"
River Press: C. Barr Smith. one OF the
leading horse raisers of Fergus county,
came in yesterday by private conveyance
from his ranch at Cottonwood, beyond
Lewistown, and will remain in this city a
couple OF days. This morning Mr.. Smith
completed his Indian depreciation claim
before Commissioner Duff, and the claim
has been forwarded to the department at
Washington. The claim is for "a lot of
thoroughbred horses which were stolen by
Piegans near Diamond City. in Meagher
county, early in 1865, shortly after Mr..
Smith first embarked in the business OF
horse raising in Montana. In March of
the same year, while on q trip in this vi
| cinity in search of the stolen animals, Mr..
Smith stopped over at Fort Benton, and
this is his first visit to the vicinity since
that time. James F.. Moran, OF Spotted
Horse, Fergus county, has also filed o
claim with Mr.. Duff. This claim is for sew
enty-ive head OF horses, which were stolen
by Piegans in April. 1881, near Otter creek,
Meagher county. These claims, together
with others, will be heard before the proper
courts as soon as the house passes the de
ficiency bill-if any one knows when that
| will be.
