EDITOR ARGUS:

EDfTof AIGts.
i have heard that / am quoted as
stating to the ARGUS that W. j..
Roberts, Samuel Lutz and l.. S. Me-
Laughlin were proprietors of the
Labor Exchange.
What i intended to- convey was
that w. j. Roberts, Samuel I-utz and
l.. s. Mclaughlin had purchased the
goods belonging to the labor ex-
change, or, TO be explicit, on the 18th
of April the labor exchange COM
menced suit against w. j. Roberts
by replevin to get possession of the
labor exchange goods and merchan-
disc. On the 18th Of April W. j.
Roberts proposed to the advisory
board of the exchange that If they
would withdraw the suit, he, with
Samuel Lutz and L. s. Mclaughlin,
would take the goods and pay all
debts, which was accepted and
signed, John McCourt, Hugh r.
Dawes and w. c. Weston on the part
of the labor exchange, and w. j.
Roberts, Samuel Lutz and l.. S. Nc
Laughlin becoming the mercantile
firm of what was formerly the labor
exchange. Mr.. Lutz and Mr.. Nc

The County Fair.

For several weeks the ARGUS has
published the premium list of the
Fergus County Agricultural. Mineral
and Stock Association in order that
the people of the county might be
come familiar with the premiums
offered on different things that may
he offered for exhibition. The premi-
ums are not large, it is true, but they
are the best the association cal offer
at this time, when it is struggling to
get on a good financial footing. A
fair is also something the people as
a whole are interested in, financially
and otherwise. 1t is not an individ-
ual enterprise or "a money-making
scheme, only to the extent of build
ing up every department and every
thing pertaining to the fair. Stock
holders who have subscribed to the
enterprise, never expect to realize a
dividend, but did SO purely out of
public spirit and a desire to furnish
amusement and develop the resources
of the county. The officers, from the
worthy president down, give their
time and best efforts to the associa-
ton without compensation.
While the premiums are not large
we find that they are better than
in Minnesota. In one county, where
they advertise the Both annual fair,
the premiums are not as good as
those offered here.
There is promise of a good fair this
fall and the association will make
every effort to present an attractive
program. 1t is safe to say that had
it not been for bad weather and hard
times the association would have
been entirely free from debt. Under
more favorable conditions a great
stride can be made in that direction
ut the coming exhibition.
Let the people begin to think about
the matter now, and many will dis
cover that they can do IA little in the
way of exhibits to make the fair a
success.
The association feels that it has
seen it's hardest trials and that in
the years to come there will he
smoothersailing. The people should
encourage the promoters i'm this hope
with their exhibits and theirpresence.
All of the committees will be ap-
pointed early and selected with care
with the view to- making the exhibit
ton superior to allformcr efforts. The
fair can be made a permanent fixture
and the pride of every citizen, If all
support.

The editor OF the Helena Independ-
ent, who is the self-appointed mentor
and censor of the press of Montana,
sarcasm over an editorial which ap-
peared in this paper on April 18th,
under the caption, 1.-The Wave OF
Prosperity" i'm which the advance in
prices on cattle, wool, mutton and
stock sheep was given. The special
point OF attack was the statement
that all this had taken place in the
two months since the Republican
party had come into power. although
not a law had been passed affecting
these industries. How this should
appear strange to a disciple of Henry
George, Bellamy, Altgelt and Herr
Most is not hard to understand. 1t
is not n visionary statement but
based on cause and effect. The chief
reason for the improved conditions
is confidence in the policy OF the Re-
publican party and the anticipated
legislation which it will adopt as
sOOu ds IL Is DcTDllIttu W wv 81. IL
is the assurance OF what is coming
that stimulates prices. Under the
Democratic tariff policy wool has
been "a drug on the market and thOus-
ands of sheep have been sent to- the
shambles and in a larger measure
than ever before in this country be-
came a meat food in competition
with beef, a result which injured the
cattle raiscrin no small degree. Then,
again, with the prospect of improve
ment i'm the industrial world and n
fuller employment of labor, the con
sumption of meat will greatly in
crease. Although the country is
gradually recovering from the de-
preston, the progress will be acceler-
ated when Republican polices are
thoroughly established and applied
to all of the industries which have
been paralyzed for the past three
years.
