AS an outgrowth of the farmers in
stitute which has been in session at
Great Falls during the past week the
Montana State Fair association has been
organized and has entered actively upon
career that promises to be useful and
beneficial to the great stock and agrl-
cultural interests of the state.
The proceedings that marked the
meeting in so far as the purposes for
which it was originated are concerned
were Of a high order of ability. The at
tendance was fairly large ana representa-
tive in character, and had it been con-
fined to its original purpose the results
would have amply justified the time and
attention given it. But the wider scope
that is assumed in branching out into a
state institution mark new and signti-
cant era for the calling of agriculture
The gentlemen at the helm are live and
progressive and can be relied upon to
labor hard to make the association and
it's objects success That it will grow
into proper proportions is certain, for tine
farmers must feel that if they are to ac-
complish any general good there must be
organization and unity of action. One
of the first steps will be the introduction
of bill in the legislature authorizing
the holding OF a state fair with probably
request for state aid in behalf of the
movement. The new move is surely
good one, the gentlemen are to be con.
graduated that they have entered upon
it, and Tue TRIBUNE wishes them full
measure of success

\ PIONEER FIRM.
The Great Falls Iron Works Have Sc

The Great Falls Iron Works Have Sc
cured an Office Down Town.
The Great Falls Iron Works have
taken new step in their progress by
securing d city office at l3 South Third
street, just opposite the postotfice build
ing, which will make it very convenient
for their patrons in the future.
This firm, which was the pioneer man
u'acturing establishment of this city,
was located here in 1890. The first year
of its existence was struggle against
adverse circumstances, the town at
that time being too small to support
such business, and the six or eight
men who were employed by the firm had
often little to do. The faith in the fut-
ure Of Great Falle, accompanied by
pluck and indomitable energy which
characterized its founder, L. S. Wood
bury, when the small plant was first 10.
Gated here, was sufficient to carry the
enterprise through the struggling days
of its infancy, and the efficient financial
handling of the affairs of the company
by w. f.. Brown carried it through the
still more trying times which came
with the late financial panic aud
placed it on its present substantial basis.
The company now employs about thirty
five skilled men constantly and have
about $4,000 invested in the business.
They do all kinds of casting in iron and
brass, and now have contract for two
castings for a mammoth ore crusher for
the b. & NJ smelter These castings ara
the largest ever made in the west and
each part will require about five tons of
molten metal for the cast.
The company also deals in and manu-
features mining machinery and appli-
ances and carries the largest stock of
iron and steel carried by any firm west of
st. Paul. They also deal in betting,
rubber goods, plaster, cement and fire.
brick and all kinds of engineers supplies
and are jobbers in all these lines.
One OF the principal reasons in secur-
ing "down town" headquarters is that
they may have depot for carrying a
small assortment of the merchandise
stock and thus be enabled to supply
their patrons much more rapidly than
they could if all their merchandise busj,
ness business had to be done at their

TO BUILD OUR OWN SHIPS.

A Scheme Suggested to Avoid Payment of
Premiums and Profits to Contractors
and Acquire skilled Workmen.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12,-Georgs j..
Campbell, Jr, president of the Vale 10
board of trade, has arrived in this city,
where he will present to the lawmakers
a bill authorizing the building of part
of the new navy at the Mare Island navy
yard San Francisco. Vallejois separated
from the Mare Island navy yard by a
narrow straight.
Mr.. Campholl's argument is to the ef~
feet that it will be to the governments
interests to build its ships at the navy
yards. "If the letting of contracts were
abolished" he said, ''it would be the
means of keeping up an efficient navy
yard organization, and thereby keeping
in constant employ skilled worlsmen
whose services would be valuable and in
demand. To accomplish this one ves-
at each Of the yards.
"The government built the Maine,
Raleigh and Cincinnati. The Cincin-
natl was intended for nineteen knot
ship, but she has a record of twenty-five
knots per hour. If she had been built
by any of the contractors they would
have earned speed premium of $780,
600. 1t is conceded by all competent to
judge that although she has cost $780,
900 more than she could have been built
for by the contractors, for the reason of
superior workmanship at the navy yard,
she is today 100000 better ship than
the one the contractors would have
turned out. The Maine, Raleigh, Gin.
cinnati and Texas would also have
earned speed premiums
The idea is said to be endorsed by
George w. Melville, engineer chief
United States navy, and Chief of Bureau
Philip Hlchborn.

saying that he got his laundry work
done at the same place as Pace and the
collars got mixed in this way.
