Mr.. EDITOR:
As member of the board of Worlds
Fair managers Of Custer county. desire
through your columns to call the atten-
ton of gardeners and farmers within the
county to the fact that the Montana
board Of managers are desirous of plac-
ing on exhibition at the Columbian Ex-
position some of the agricultural pro
ducts of Custer county. have a letter
from Mr.. Walter NJ. Bickford. the execu-
| tive commissioner for Montana. dated
March 26th. in which he says: Il am
anxious during the coming season to re-
ceive from your county assignments oil
agricultural exhibits as they come i'm
during the months of July. August and
September. and IT anything can be done
in this line | would be very much
pleased to have them forwarded to Chi
cago at the expense of the state, pro-
vided always that they are OF sufficient
merit to warrant us in exhibiting them
Commencing on the 10th day of Septem

WASHINGTON. Morch CIV. \. Clark
reporter of the Times and his opinions
about Mantle and the other appointed
senators get out there just as the sena-
tors are about to he voted in. He says:
Il do not know whether the senate pro-
poses to seat Mr.. Mantle or not. but it
seems to me that the question should be
carefully considered before this is done.
There are three men who are in esen-
TALLY the same position. One each
from Washington. Montona and Wyom-
ing. Two are republicans and one is a
democrat. If the precedent were estab
lished that an appointment could be
legally made by the governor. after Il
Legislature had been in deadlock until
the expiration of its session. it might be
bad. 1t might be possible for few un-
scrupulous men to tie up Legislature
for this purpose and then by ana ssunder
standing with the governor secure the
appointment of a senator who was op
posed by a majority of the people Of
both parties"
who will be recognized in the distri-
button Of federal offices in Montana
Il presume the chairman of the demo
cratic committee and the member of the
national committee will have some
weight in making recommendations.
Certainly the DAILY Dixon faction ought
to have nothing to say. If Mr.. Cleve
land allows il to make the appointments
it will be good bye to democracy in that
state
While Mr.. Clark was speaking Sena
tor Power came up. When the fight for
seats was on in the senate. during the
fiftieth congress, the two were hardly on
speaking terms. Mr.. Clark and his
newspaper in Montana called Mr. Power
harsh names. They were on speaking
terms yesterday.
You are looking fat after your fight.
said Senator Power.
Il don't mind a fight much. replied
Clark. I'VE had it hot and heavy for GU
days. ! was convinced that | was right.
SO it did not take me long to recuperate
after my defeat.
What will the senate do with the men
| who were appointed Senator Power
was asked.
| Il guess we will seat them" he said.
The great trouble in Montana was
| that the legislature was a heller -skeltel
concern in which very little interest was
taken at the time when the nominations
were made. They nominated Insurance.
agents and adventures without mucl
regard as to their standing as citizens
or party men. Why. it was the wors
iumbled up organization you ever saw
Some of the men nominated moved ou
of the state before election. More at
tention will be paid to the Legislature i
the future
And tonight. after ALL Mr.. Mantle ha
not doubt that he will be voted in.

The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1893-02-09

Idaho than all other mediums com
bined, and it cannot be denied. They
do the same by the particular section
in which they are located. 1t is a
constant practice with part Of the
public to beat the newspapers. At
least one-third of the earnings of the
country paper is lost through the dis
honesty of persons who feel that the
amounts are so small that they will
not be sued for. Through this cause
the average paper makes little more
than bare living, but they cheerfully
pursue their task, and it is natural
right that the state at least should
reward the institutions that have built
her up, by giving them the work which
they are justly entitled to, and which
act would put new material into every
printing Office in the state to increase
her wealth and bear a part of the tax
alton. There ought not to be an OPP
posing voice in the legislature against
the bill.
The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1893-02-09


Less than thirty working days re-
main Of this session of Congress, and
it can scarcely be said that satisfactory
progress in the work Of legislation
has been made. The Senate had not
up to few days ago passed a single
appropriation bill, while the House
had several on the calendar still I'M
reported. Speaker Crisp does not
fear, however, that there will be any
trouble about concluding the
necessary business of Congress be-
fore the session expires by limitation
on the 4th of March, and the Senate
Committee on Appropriations also
declare that they can dispose of their
work in ample time. There is usually
more or less talk toward the close of
every session regarding the critical
condition of appropriation bills, but it
always happens that they are passed
and approved before the gavel falls
