The Worlds Fair Executive Commits
sioner in Eastern Montana.
w. w. Bickford, executive COMMISSIONS
of the board Of Worlds fair managers for
Montana, was IN Helena yesterday on his
way home from a visit to eastern Montana.
He attended the meeting of the stockgrow-
ers' association at Miles City, and while
there made a short talk to the members,
urging upon them the necessity of the asso.
citation as al organization taking hold Of
the matter and exerting themselves to see
that Montana made a creditable exhibition
of her live stock industry at the Worlds
fair in 1893. The result Of his visit cannot
but have a good effect. and placed the sub
ject in o new light before the members.
Mr.. Bickford also visited Billings in the
interest Of the Montana exhibit at the fair,
and he feels that Yellowstone county will
make a creditable showing at the Worlds
fair. The board of control of the Worlds
fair recently decided that exhibits could be
made by the states in their state buildings,
and Mr.. Bickford has an idea that a goou
plan would be for each county that so de-
sired to make q complete but small exhibit
in the Montana building illustrating just
what the productions of each county were.
The quarterly meeting of the board will be
held at Great Falls May 2. when the con-
tract will be let for the construction of the
Montana building at Chicago. 1t is to cost
not exceeding $4,000. .-

OTHER M ENTs.
The Sapphire People, Great Falls and
Gaua,nadnr Hilrer lunnSa.

The Sapphire People, Great Falls and
Commodore Hilser Oppose.
A. N. Spratt opposed the dam IN the
ground that it was liable to damage his
sapphire property by over1ows. A. M.
Hotter replied that he and Ex-Gov. Hauser
had given the Spratts a bond on most of
sapphire property. The bond had expired
and if anybody was going to be hurt by
the dam he (Mr. Holter) and Gov. Hauser
should be the ones to protest. sor
The Great Fails people were present at
the afternoon session. q. M: Webster
board Of trade and read it. The purport Of
the objection to the dam was that it would
iniure the commercial industries Of Great
Falls. 1t claimed that the Falls was the
natural market for the grains OF the upper
Missouri. j. Bookwalter also made some
remarks, in which he claimed that the AL
mighty ordained the existence of Great
Falls, which was now the center of q rich
community. with mining, timber and agri-
culture tributary to il. In time, if the dam
were not built, Great Falls would be a great
manufacturing center.
Col. WE. Wheeler thought the river was
navigable, as he had taken parties down. A
steamer thirty-ive feet long had made the
trip. The Fern, u steamer of seventy-tive
tons, put together at Townsend. had made
the trip to Great Falls. In answer to a
question Col. Wheeler admitted that the
Fern had never gone back.
Judge Hilger opposed the dam as being
an obstruction to navigation and liable to
burst and sweep his place at the landing
out of existence. In reilly to questions by
H. M. Parchen, Judge Hilger admitted that
the BOAT lie ran for pleasure pu poses was
Of light draft, carrying fifty persons and
four tons, and never went more than six o.
miles; also that at tho Gates of the
Mountain it was necessary for the passen-
gers to get out and walk around the rapids.
A running croDsfile was then stated
between the friends and opponents of the
dam. 1t was claimed bv the latter that the
reason the Fern never went back ny the
river was because it was not necessary and
not intended that she should. On this
point MI. Parchen stated positively that
the Fern was built for the trade between
Great Falls and Townsend. He knew it
because he was one of the victims.
At the night hearing. William Muth.
William Harrison and w. y. Cullen pre-
sented some additional arguments in
refutntion Of the claims of Grent Falls.
The hearing was closed aftor President
Muth, of the Board of Trade. on behalf Of
that body and the citizens generally,
thanked Capt. Powell for the patient hear
ing he had given.

School Truseess Dsaids Again to Finish

AT the meeting Of tho school hoard last
evening Attorney Miller, appearing Tor
Grant n Whalen, the contractors on the
high school building, made nm oral argu-
ment IN answer to the proposition OF tho
trustees for the appointment Of arbitrntors
TO adjust the differences between tho true
tees and the contractors. The position tho
fofner had taken. In conformity with the
ndvics OF Measfs. Nolan and Carpenter, was
that they we're willing TO allow certain
charges TOR extras put in by the contractors,
would anbmit others 10 arbitration, whilo
sons OF tina charges we're considered 80 un-
Just that the attorneys advised the trustosa
not TO consider them. Mr.. Miller took tho
position that all the charges for extra work
by. tho contractors should 10 submitted 70
arbttrAtors. AT tho conclusion Of his argn-
mont the trustees decided, BY a unanimous
vote, TO 90 ahend and complete the build
ing, taking it out OF this hands Of the con-
tractors.
Mr.. Parshall, the blackboard man OF
Kansas City, appeared before the board
with u proposition TO put his ~blackboarcA
now high school. Ee began his talk with
the statement that he was a CLOSE friend OF
J. N. Greenwood, Of Kansas City. who, 10
said. had been most unjustly Judged by the
people Of this section. But he said, ~
know Mr.. Greenwood to be one OF ths
whitest men that ever lived" Mr.. Par
shalt then turned his attention to the
blackboards put in bv Grant g. Whalen in
the new high school, saying the material
used by the contractors had not been
prepared properly. When Mr.. Parshall
concluded Mr.. Grant, who was present,
took the floor, and told the Kansas City
man he was no gentleman. The board adj
journed without deciding on MIR. Rarshal'f

thnt they wsrs built with any thought OF

others that would admit Of auch passage?
The points iisrein touched upon may DO
verified and enlarged In many. dotails BY
VIC evidence q tho pioneers OF Montana ct
We respectfully submit for your informA-
eton that II u proposed TO construct a ma
sonry. dam thirty feet high, with ample d.
mensions to insure q permanent structure.
Ihis dam, from catinaates made by Counpe-
tens snRinsers. will produce 1900 horse
power. This power, by the aid of o%lectrio
ssry distance. within 4 radius Of aay sixty
miles. The territory embraced IN this
radius. A. before stated, contains not only
the cities Of Helena and Butte but many min
ing camps, supporting Rood-sized com lnu-
mites and also hundreds of developed mines
only waiting the advent OF choap power
Able producers. Tho benefit in this direc-
ton can BIO easily imagined BY q compar-
islon Of the cost Of the present methods Of
producing power, compared with what "
would be under this proposed improvement.
Power to-day bv wood, and at most points
by coal, costs 80 per month per horse.
power. while 1t can be profitAbly produced
per month. This difference, to many
classes Of manufacturers, means the differ
ence between loss and q profitable business.
Hence it will add hundreds OF different
small manufacturing enterprises TO the
state of Montana, beside adding largely to
her population.
The scarcity Of small streams and conse-
quent lack of opportunities to locate these
industries o. other sources of power. rem
der the d%esirability OF this project entirely
beyond question. Beyond this the ques-
ton Of water supply for Helena is hereby
settled for all time, as ample supplies can
be pumped from the river at the dam and
forced to elevations where it will supply
the city indefinitely; also the question Of
water for irrigating the Priokly Pear valley
is largely simplifed, and any and all sur
pins power Mt any time can be turned in
this direction and likewise used to elevate
water to a necessary point to entirely sup
ply the valley. The question of capital fol
the enterprise is happily arranged, and thu
benefits TO arise from the expenditure of
million dollars in the erection of tho dan
and the necessary wheels, electric machin
cry. poles, wires, etc., cannot be questioned
in IN community With all these specifi.
benefits to follow the construction of thil
enterprise; Offset by no injury to any exist
ing industry, and only opposed from jea1-
ousy to the city of Helena, We respectfully
submit the facts with the hope that the en-.
terprise may receive your approval an
recommendation. -

and it is said its members are able to run

leaders, in view Of Lent's near approach,
determined on q closing festivity that
would bring them enduring prestige. A
grand masquerade ball was announced for
Friday evening the 10th. and more than a
hundred invitations were issued. The
Committee on Invitations were prepared
for q crowd, and secured the big hall
in the Masonic building. This was
tastefully adorned by the Committee
