AN IMPORTANT MEETING

The directors of the Cascade
County Agricultural Association
will hold an executive session in the
Phelps block, Great Falls, Tuesday
afternoon, March 8, at 3 o'clock.
To many the above announcement
by the press may seem to deserve
only a passing notice. In fact the
average citizen is apt to think light
ly of the questions to be considered
at such meeting, and to care little
whether such a meeting be held.
Yet the thoughtful man, whatever
may be his occupation, will see in
the notice a hundred subjects of
economic Importance, which may be
discussed at such a meeting with
profit to all the interests of the coun
ty. For the broader definition of
agriculture includes all branches of
industry by which wealth is taken
from the earth; as, farming, grazing,
mining, quarrying and all their sub
divisions. An agricultural assooia-
ton busies itself with the promotion
of every productive interest within
its jurisdiction. And since Neihart
has been placed in Cascade county,
it conserves our best interests act
ively to participate in every matter
concerning the Cascade county agri-
cultural association and IT'S laudable
objects.
Neihart and Barker have by seq
regation been included in county
where their interests will be better
guarded and their progress more per-
manent than ever before. Instead
of being separated by natural barri-
ers from social political and nego-
tiatory alliances, instead of being is
olated from the political or business
world, as was once their portion,
these districts now form a part of
one of Montana's richest counties,
whose boundary lines have been
moved to the place where heaven in
tended them to be. Our new polit-
ical relations are most gratifying,
and we should begin more and more
to show Great Falls and Cascade
county our appreciation of their
friendship and genial good will, ex-
pressed in both word and deed.
Our county has two daily and eight
weekly papers, all of which with
united voice, are telling the story of
native resources and coming great
ness relative to Neihart and Barker.
1t is time for Neihart to do some
thing in the line of self salvation.
The season of planting is here, if we
would reap fruitful harvest here
after. BY all means this town wants
representative at that meeting of
March 8. She wants wide awake,
enterprising citizen, strong in coun-
sci, fully informed as to her indus
trial status as we'll as to her specific
needs.
In this meeting will be found rep
resentatives of every Cascade county
industry. There will be present the
farmer, the stock grower, the coal
miner, the brickmaker, the manu-
facturer in various lines, the builder,
the artisan in many callings and
(shall we say) the quartz miner.
The questions considered will be
such as relate to the welfare of the
county both special and general,
with an eye single to its earnest pro-
motion. And incidentally will be
considered the steps towards mann
moth exhibition of the various re-
sources at county and state fairs.
The directors of the association are
determined, with popular assistance,
to make this years work more ad-
vantageous than that of any of its
predecessors in the history of the
county.
Again let us say, that Neihart and
Barker must be represented at the
coming meeting. For our veal is
inseparably linked with that Of the
remainder of the county.
