Atty. John B. Clayberg of Helena was
in the city Saturday, en- route to his
home from an extended visit in the east.
Mr.. Clayberg is conservative, cool
headed man, and close observer, al
though by no means partisan or po-
litician.
He expressed his firm conviction that
Bryan would carry Massachusetts and
said that, in his opinion, in the state of
New York the only matter in doubt was
the size of Bryan's majority. He said
that in Massachusetts the brilliant
young orator, George Fred Williams, was
gathering the voters by thousands
beneath silver's banner. The crowds
that flock to hear him necessitate over
flow meetings wherever he speaks. Mr..
Clayberg talked with one gentleman, a
shoe manufacturer of Lynn, Mass. who
said that he employed 400 voters, all Of

Special Correspondence of IlE TRIBUNE,
KIBEEY, Aug. l4,--Last week was wet,
but the rain has done lots OF good, help
ing the grazing land as well as the grain.
Hsying was delayed and as there was
good deal of grain-hay in the fields, it
bleached out some. There is but little
native hay on the benches, compared
with former years, and the ranchers who
are short of tame hay at home go for it,
like hungry trout after graeshopper.
The gypsum plant has started up in
good shape, working on orders, and they
say they have enough orders to keep
going until late in the fall.
There have been a large number of
outfits passed Kibbey on their way to
the National park. Some have returned
and report good time.
Barley harvest has commenced and in
the course of week wheat and oats
will be ready.
Telephone poles are being distributed
between Mann and Kibbey, Some holes
have been dug and posts set and soon
Kibbay will be able to say "Hello, Great
Falls"
Notices are posted, calling primary
meetings to delegates to the county dem
ocratic convention: populist primaries
are called for the same day. So far,
have been unable to find any pops that
will give the time and attention neces-
sary for meeting. All are for silver;
party they know not, care not for; good
and true men we want, they say, and we
will support no other, let the party be
what it may; and l believe that is the
sentiment of the country. know it.

One would think from the present discus
sion of the saddle question that the proper
construction of the saddle was a matter
of but recent interest among bicycle man
ufacturers. Old-timers merely see history
repeating itself, for the saddle question was
very widely discussed In the days of the
ordinary AS a matter of fact, manufac-
turers have been dealing with this ques-
ton ever since the introduction of the
bicycle industry in this country, nineteen
years ago, and the light, snug fitting sad
dies now furnished on machines of highest
grade are the result of nineteen years
experience and research.
- The saddle now in most popular use is
firm and almost springless, for the expe
rienced rider lets his weight rest almost
as much upon the pedals and handles as
upon the saddle, and it is the knack of
throwing the weight from one to the other
when occasion demands, or as the condi-
tion OF the road renders it necessary, that
enables him to avoid the discomfort and
fatigue caused by excessive vibration.
These saddles are provided with adjusting
screws, so that, with a few experiments,
each rider can arrange his saddle to suit
himself. after which nothing can persuade
him To dispense with it.
