G. III. ROBINSON,
Il. Il. BURTON,


The committee on agricultural exhibit
at the fair recommended that fair be
held at the fair grounds in Great Falls
on Oct 3D., 4th and 5th. Premiums are
to be offered in the various departments
and some speaker of national reputation
is to be engaged to deliver an address.
Racing and other attractions are also to
be arranged for. The perfecting Of this
scheme and the arranging of details to
be in the hands of an executive com
mittee of three. This business was left
to the same committee which prepared
the report.
The subject Of raising pork in Mon
tana was discussed at length by G. fl.
Robinson and others. the general opin-
ion being that no product of the farm
could be made moro profitable.
At the evening session, which con-
vened at s o'clock, the following officers
for one year were unanimously elected:
President, Paris Gibson; wee presidents,
u. II. Burton; w. O. Dexter John Gel
sey, T. &. Woods, j. a. Harris, Charles
Stevens, Nathan Gibson. S. s. Iobson,
q. i. Field, George Bicket; secretary,
II. p. Rolfe; treasurer, Il. :. Ford.
The vice presidents. on motion of Mr..
Rolfe. were made committee to solicit
membership in their respective districts
and to collect dues and forward them to
the treasurer.
An animated discussion on the subject
of dairying was entered into by Mr.. Glib
son, Porter, Muzzy, Rolfe, l.. Dignan.
Myron Brown. and others, by which an
exchange of vie rs and information on
this important question was had, and
such were the facts brought forward
that there arose general sentiment in
favor of establishing creamery, a con-
densed milk factory, and cheese fac
tory in Great Falls. Practical men said
that under certain circumstances these
concerns could be made profitable from
the first.
Mr.. Gibson gave some valuable il for
nation on the subject of the best breeds
of stock for dairying in this country.
and gave it as his opinion that the Hol-
stems are probably the best for all
round business, as they are great milk
ers, great producers of butter, and grow
to good size for beef purposes.
Il. Il. Burton spoke of the enormous
amount of wealth sent out of the state
for food products that ought to be grown
here. In twenty years it has amounted
to nearly 6lO0,OOO,OO0, which might have
been kept at home if the food for our
people had been produced here. If this
money could be kept in the state during
the next few wears. he said Montana
would have more ready money than
any other state III the union.
The association adjourned after call
ing meeting of the vice presidents at
the Great Falls National bank at 9 o'clock
this morning for the transaction of inn
portaut business.

Ogden. March 1.-THE most disas-
trous fire that ever visited Ogden re-
suited in the almost complete destruc-
ton of the Utah Loan a. Trust cornpany's
building. The fire was discovered at D
o'clock this morning and the fire depart
ment promptly began its work, but a
strong wind was blowing and as the
flames were difficult to control the Salt
Lake fire department was telegraphed.
The Salt Lake engines arrived at 10
o'clock over the Rio Grande Western and
Union Pacific and rendered valuable as
sistance in checking the fire, which was
confined to the one building. Fireman
Frank Burt Of Salt Lake was knocked
from fourth story window by falling
elevator, but landed in snow bank and
sustained only slight injuries. Fireman
Lewis Mcintosh of Ogden was struck by
"a stream of water that had come in CON
tact with an electric wire and received
shock from which fatal results are
feared. The outer walls remain intact.
The federal court room on the second
floor was also saved. The building con
tanned the offices of number of attor-
neys who lost their libraries. The build
ing originally cost S200OOO. The esti-
mated loss is $4,000; insurance $4,000

Railroad Slaughter Pens,

During the discussion in the senate
over measures for the protection of rail
way employees Senator Cullom said. in
answer to questions, that there were
10000 freight cars in this country; that
there were 40 different patterns of auto
matte couplers used, and if the owners
of 80 per cent of the freight cars agreed
upon particular type of coupler the
interstate commerce commission would
fix upon that as the one to be used.
He gave statistics of the loss of life and
limb by railroad employees through &C.
cidents, and said that the country looked
to congress to hasten the time when such
tremendous slaughter would cease. 1t
had been stated that the number of rail
road employees in killed and injured in
eight years was equal to the total nun
Der of men engaged in railroad service
in one year. These men, he said, would
be safer if they were enlisted in the army
in time of war than they were now as
railroad employees.

Once when Judge W, of the United
States supreme court, reached Pittsburg
on circuit Mr. Wright entertained him.
There was case pending then in the SUI
preme court which involved the values of
two stocks. The decision was certain to
make one of the stocks valueless and the
other valuable 1t was considered an even
chance which way the decision would go.
The lawyers in the case had settled it in
their minds that if Justice B. were to
write the decision it would be in their favor.
The Justice was noted for writing long de-
cisions. The majority Of the men on the
bench at that time wrote briefly. Justice
w was entertained at dinner at Mr
Wright's house. After the dinner Justice
w became companionable and good
natured
In the midst of conversation about the
court and its work Mr. Wright said to
Justice W, mentioning the case in
which he was interested, 81 suppose that
the decision in that case will be long one,
there being SO many points involved" "As
long as the moral law, my boy" said the
old justice, as he smiled benevolently upon
his host. That was all that he said upon
the subject. Mr.. Wright, however, knew
from this remark that it was the particular
justice who wrote long decisions who was
preparing the one in this case This gave
him the cue for the decision, and be bought
stock based upon this Judgment 1t proved
correct, and he gained exactly 5000, 600 from
this careless remark Of the too amiable JUS
tice.-Sau Francisco Argonaut.
