CELEBRATED LABOR DAY
An Immense Crowd the Guest of
the Bonner Union.
IT WAS A GREAT HOLIDAY
Two Thousand Took Part in the Festiv-
ities-Sports Were Well Managed.
The Barbecue Was
Masterpiece.

Missoula, Sept. 4.--The weather clerk
bluffed all day, but his threat did not
frighten and the sun shone nearly all
day. One little furry of rain crossed
the valley in the afternoon, but it fail
ed to dampen the spirits of the immense
crowd that celebrated Labor day with
the members of the unions of West
host this year, and the beautiful grove
west of that town was thronged all
day with a happy crowd. There was
no Grafton and no formality about the
celebration, but it was, nevertheless,
one of the most successful that or
ganiZed labor has ever witnessed in
this part of the state. All of the saw
mills in the county closed for the day
and there have been no business houses
in the city opened for business.
1t has been a general holiday, and
the crowd at Bonner numbered fully
1000. The arrangements at the grove
were excellent. An open dancing pavil-
ion had been built and an orchestra
was busy there all day. The refresh
ment booth was in charge of Bob
Kitching, ]. A. Ferguson and Frank
Keim, who had a host of assistants
and had all that they could attend to
in the way of business from early
morning until the crowd dispersed in
the evening. There were happy groups
scattered all over the grove enjoying
quiet little picnics of their own, and
the scene was a pleasant one. The
Copper City Limited this morning took
out large crowd as advance guard,
and the county road between Missoua
and the picnic grounds has been trav-
plp1 nv h1n6radG nf yahin1ac Itrrino a
day.
The sports were well managed and
the various events were pulled off in
good shape. The baseball game be-
tween Missoula and Bonner was fast
one and when it had ended Missoula
showed up in the lead with a score
of 16 to g. The prize for the ball game
was $50 worth of merchandise, and the
boys donated this to the women and
children in the Occur d'Alene mining
camps.
The races in the afternoon brought
out some lively contests that were
witnessed by big crowd, and the ath-
letic committee deserves congratula-
ton for the excellence of its arrange
ments, but the masterpiece of the cell
ebration was the barbecue. The OK
was roasted to a turn and the hun
dredS of visitors who partook of the
feast are smacking their lips yet. Billy
Dolber will not want to eat for a
month.
The Copper City Limited tonight
brought home most of the crowd, but
the long line of rigs that came down
the road carried many homecomers.
The days celebration concluded to-
night with two grand balls, one at the
hall at Bonner and the other in Union
hall in Missoula. Each was well at
tended and the music and all arrange
ments were on a par with those of
the day. When it is all over in the
morning there will be many tired peo-
pie, but none who will not admit that
the celebration was pronounced sue

Home of Edam Cheese.

From the New York Tribune.
While the Edam cheese is a familiar
visitor on the table, not every one
knows whence it comes nor how its
cannon ball proportions and gay col
oring have been achieved. The north
ern part of Holland is the seat of the
Edam cheese industry, and the conse-
quent cleanliness of the relish is there
fore doubly assured In making it the
fresh cows milk is carefully strained
and the rennet added. AS soon as the
milk curdles the whey is drawn off
and the curd, thoroughly kneaded is
pressed into molds. This process Is re-
peated until the whey has all been ex-
tracted and the curd is comparatively
dry. 1t is then wrapped in a linen
cloth and kept for 10 or IL days until
quite solid. Then the cloth Is removed
and the cheese put into salt I've. AZ
terward a little more dry salt is
sprinkled on the cheese, until the maxi
er thinks it is salt enough to insure it's
keeping. 1t is next put into a vessel
and washed with whey and scraped to
remove the white crust. 1t is next
carried into a cool room and laid on
shelves, where it is frequently turned.
The ripening process lasts from two
to three months. the round balls crow

culiar to Edam cheese. The cheeses
intended to be exported to this coun-
try are rendered still more brilliant by
dyeing the rind with a vegetable dye.

A Perfect Orchard,

Missoula, Sept. IN. Mcdonald, hor-
ticulturist for the Missoula Orchard &
Improvement company, has just re-
turned from successful trip to Great
Falls and other Northern Montana
points in the interests of his company.
On this trip Mr.. Mcdonald sold con-
siderable acreage for the company in
the Eight Mile orchards, which it
owns. The sales that are being made
are of undivided interests. so that they
really represent shares of stock in the
company, which is doing excellent work
in the development of the fruit grow
ing industry of this section. The COM
pany makes these sales of acreage with
the agreement to care for the orchard
for term of six years, in which time
the orchard will have matured. Mr..
McDonald's long experience lin horti-
cultural matters and his thorough ia
miliarity with the business insures the
future Of these large orchards of which
4S0 acres are being planted.
The varieties of trees have been Sc
lected with view to the commercial
value of their fruit and to their adapt
ability to the climatic conditions that
prevail here. The selection was made
after careful study of the experience
of others and the result has been that
this is probably as nearly perfect an
orchard as there is in the West. It's
location is admirable and the supply of
water is inexhaustible. The land slopes
gently to the south, giving the very
best exposure and admirable facilities
for cultivation and irrigation. A visit
to the orchard will convince even a
novice that the conditions are perfect
for the development of a magnificent
orchard. The proximity to the rail-
way, the sheltered location and the con-
ditions that have been already men
toned combine to make this a model
location.
The officers of the company are: c.
M Allen, president; NJ. Mcdonald, vice
president and horticulturist; D. r.
Beck, secretary; DR.. Blackburn of
Butte, treasurer. These officers, to-
gether with DR.. Fitzgerald and Oscar
Sedman of Missoula, make up the
board of directors

A Model Establishment.

In the entire western country 1t is
not possible to find a better stable than
the Eclipse, which Is conducted by
Hayes & Marsh. This stable occupies
a handsome brick building, the ground
floor of which is used for the carriage
and harness rooms. This floor is spa
cious and well equipped for its pur-
pose. A broad runway Of gradual de-
scent leads to the stable room in the
basement, well arranged stall room,
cool in summer and warm in winter
with large box stalls and comfortable
single stalls. A big elevator con-
meets the carriage room with the
storage rooms in the second story,
where vehicles not in use are stored.
The stable makes speciality Of
boarding horses, for which it is ad-
mirably adapted. The livery turnouts
that are owned by Hayes & Marsh are
the finest in the city. They have sim
gle roadsters that are the very best
that can be obtained. In connection
with the stable the firm conducts an
undertaking business, which : is in
charge of Coroner Hayes, who holds a
practicing certificate from the state
board of health.

NO DEVELOPMENTS.
There VIII BE No Violence Against the
Arrested Officers

A'so'o Ihe ESo violence Against the
Arrested Officers.
Missoula, Sept. 4-There have been
10 new developments in the case of the
arrested officers from Idaho. The men
are Stiil in the custody of the sheriff.
Robinson has given no bonds in the
second case against him. that of ex-
hihiting deadly weapon. and his at
torney says that he will probably not
attempt to do SO, as they are informed
that in case he is released on bonds he
VIII at once be arrested on a new
charge. There have been some ugly ru-
nors in circulation as to the alleged
violence that is to be done against the
two men. but nobody takes any stock
in these stories. There is no disposition
on the part of any of the union men
here to commit any act that Is disor-
derby. Their position in the matter Is
stated clearly in the interview that Is
published in the Standard to-day. The
arrested men are perfectly safe from
any violence. They were arrested sim
ply to determine whether or not 1t is
possible for officers to come over from
Idaho and under the guise of law,
commit .outrages upon innocent people
