June 10, 1880, the trustees Of Well
| llngton township leased eighteen acres
Of land to the Wellington Agricultural
Society for 800 years, for the consider
alton Of S1034, to be used by the said So
ciety for the purpose Of holding fairs and
exhibitions. Every thing went well un-
til 1885, when it tappeared that additional
grounds should be added in order to offer
better facilities to the exhibitors and |
turfmen. Therefore on July1, 1886, the
Agricultural Society closed a contract
with A. D. Webster for the purchase Of
ten acres Of land adjacent on the west,
to be used for fair purposes. In order to
obtain money to buy said land, grade
track, move fences, buildings, ETC., the
Society borrowed $4,000, making trust
mortgage to ]. T. Haskell to secure the
individuals who became sureties for the
payment Of the money. Notes were
given as follows:
One for $500, falling due October 1,
1887; $3.50 due October l, 1888; $400 Oc-
tOber 1, 1889; $3.50 October l, 1890; $500

OLD FARO DISCUSSED
Gambling May Go Up Further Than
the Skylight.
IT'S IN EvERYBODY'S MOUTH
In Anxious Expectancy the "Pro-
flesh" Awaits the Final Action
of the City Council In
the Matter.

The ordinance regulating gambling Is
probably the subject most dlscusseo III
Anaconda during the recent oays'
Speculation as to the probable outcoile
is rife and affords theme ioi many
medicine talks.
Among the gambling fraternity there
is not as much of stir as might be ex-
pected, though the ordinance Is geher
ally denounced as discrlmlnatnhs
in favor of those houses Wnicn
have second stories into when
they may retreat successluhy.
Many more are in the bulldlngs
which have no second story, ana Wheh
the law goes into effect they VIII De
compelled to close the deal or 10 scat
ter into parts of the city remote from
the Jungle in which they have hereto
fore been confined and where they nave
flourished. The gambler is not the sort
of a man who raises an cutlery OF louu
complaint. 1t is a part OF his business
to take chances, and to adapt himseI
TO the turn of fortune as 1t comes out
of the box. Some of them do feel that
they are the victims or misplaced con-
fidence, and that the council since IL
permitted them to open, after tne STAT
law was knocked out, should nave
made any conditions which they wished
10 impose at the time of granting the
license. Since the gamblers were al
lowed TO fit up their places, some OF
them new and at great expense, IL is a
hardship to ask them to quit in so snort
q time, and the fraternity feel very
sore. and say that they haven't had
square deal.
Others beside the gamblers object to
this change as has already been noted,
and who stand firmly by Mayor Thorn
ton. who takes the position that gam
bling is much easier handled, is faf
less insidious, kept pubic as IL Is now
in this city. Some of the people most
opposed to vice In all forms support the
mayors view, and say that public gam
bling is less of an evil than private
gambling.
The idea seems to be growing that
Mayor Thornton will recommend as a
substitute for the ordinance regulating
gambling which 1t is expected ne VIII
veto; an ordinance prohibiting gam
bling altogether as has been done IN
Bozeman. The blow to the revenue OF
the city will be severe, but the advo-
Gates of this radical measure say that
expenses can be reduced In measure
sufficient to overcome the deficit. The
reformers those who are not radical,
favor this proposition as a test or the
aldermanic sincerity in regulating gam
bling, while the radically moral hail
such a prohibition as a step in the
right direction and on the principle that
it's a good thing, will push IL along
heartily The leaders of this latter
branch of society are contemplating the
circulation of petition among the
people, praying the council to prohibit
all gambling, and they propose to
have 1t ready for the next meeting OF
the council. So there is lots of fun In
sight for the radicals, and the con-
servatives will be arrayed against
those who are reformers yet inclined to
be liberal.

strong soapsuds. These dyes are made
from a peculiar combination OF dye
stufrs. and cannot be had except in the
Diamond. -
For over twenty years Diamond Dyes
have been the standard home dyes. and
have taken the place of crude dyestuns
and unreliable package dyes in all parts
of the world. This marvellous success has
naturally inspired more or less worthless
limitations sold TO the trade at a less
nrice. and which a few unscrupulous
dealers urge upon their customers. The
only way TO ensure success in home aye
ing is TO use only the Diamond, the
strongest, fastest, and most successful oil

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Missoula, Jan. 21.-J. A. Landrum OF
Stevensville, ex-treasurer of Ravaili
county, is in the city to-day returning
from a three weeks sojourn in the
Libby mining district. Most OF Mr..
Landrums time was spent at the
Snowshoe mine, where eastern men are
largely interested and where large
amount of money has been spent In
development work, with encouraging
results The ore body is extensive, Mr..
Landrum says, and although the ore Is
not high grade, there is such vast
quantity of II that the mine ought to
become a profitable one. Mr.. Landrum
expresses the opinion that the Libby
district will, in time, be a great wealth
producer. The natural resources are
wonderful
II am glad to get back to these val
Ieys" said Mr.. Landrum to standard
man. The Libby country is all right,
hut our climate beats the weather up
there all out. All of the Billiards that
swept Montana and the Dakotas last
week were manufactured near Libby,
and the makers practiced them for
three or four days, to see that they
were all right before they sent them
out BY the time that the manufacture
ers were satisfied that the blizZards
were the pure stuff, 1 was nearly
