A copy of the premium list for the
great Minnesota State Fair of 1900
has been received. It is evident that
plans are being perfected upon a
larger scale than ever and it is prob
able that even the brilliant record of
last year is to be eclipsed. The fair
will be held September to 8, upon
the Hamline grounds, midway be-
tween the cities, as usual. If you care
for one of these premium lists, send a
postal cardzrequest to Secretary b. W.
Randall, Hamline, Mimi, and one will
be mailed to you. The premiums and
purses offered aggregate over $40, 900.
The next National Exhibition and sale
of Hereford cattle will be held in con
nection with this fair; the American
Shorthorn Breeders Association joins
in holding out unusual Inducements to
Shorthorn exhibitors; the Minnesota
Live Stock Breeders Association joins
in giving rich prizes for feeding ami
mails; the Aberdeen-Angus Breeders
Association offers special prizes also,
anG with the cooperation of these and
other Live Stock organizations, it is
confidently expected to make the Live
Stock exhibit the most complete and
the most instructive and interesting
ever seen at state fair or exposition
in this country. There are splendid
premiums in the Dairy, Agricultural,
Horticultural and Woman's Depart
ments and the Machinery, Honey,

WANT MONEYED IMMIGRANTS,

Old Choteau is all right, and will al
ways be all right when let alone. There
is no need of further immigration eX-
cept of those with some capitals; and
such will find their way here fast enough
to keep up a steady and healthful devel-
opment for years to come. We will have
our ups and downs; hard winters and
promiscuous borrowing will cause bank
ruptcies occasionally; panics may dis
tress and tariff changes vex the spirit,
but each year will find our people further
ahead in everything that makes for con-
tentment, prosperity and good citizen
ship.
The towns of the county are Fort Ben
ton, Havre and Chinook. Fort Benton
has 1,024 inhabitants. Havre, LBS, and
Chinook about 500, and all are growing
steadily. Fort Benton the county seat,
is a steady, quiet, wealthy old place, with
large trade and large possessions, living
happily and contentedly in the shadow
of past glories, as THE town of the from
tier. Havre is a busting young city,
largely dependent upon the railway shops
and roundhouse for support. while Chi.
nook is the supply point for the best
stock country in the state.

house, numerous churches and first class

lust now an electric railway 10 run
from Great Falls to Billings has been
projected and it is believed a start will
be made Upon this ext year.
Cascade is about to make an import
ant addition to its many fine public
buildings. At the lest election, a propo-
sition to issue bonds to provide for the
erection of a fine county court house was
submitted to the people and carried by
IN overwhelming majority. This is to
be erected at Great Falls during the
coming year and competitive plans are
to be received on January 22d next.
Besides the untold thousands of cattle,
horses and sheep and the farm produce,
which represents much wealth, in Cas-
cade county, there is also a pay roll
which aids greatly in the prosperity of
the county and city. In the majority Of
counties, the main stay of the business
interest rests upon one or two particular
things, but in Cascade it is different, and
nothing can show it better than the SIM
pie news item of the local press last
week which was as follows: 1.-The Boston
& Montana paid out S115, 600 in wages
Saturday; the Belt mines paid out 500, 900
in wages Monday: the Sand Coulee n
Stockett coal mines paid out $50 1000, in
wages Thursday; the Montana Central
employees of the line and the shops re-
ceived s47. 900 Wednesday and the en-
ployes of the Silver Smelter received
$50. 900 in wages on the 10th inst.
The pay days noted do not comprise
them all by any means. but only the
| larger ones, and the showing, taken to-
gether with the other resources and sur
roundings of the country and city are
!! not excelled anywhere in Montana, or
the great northwest.
During the past year the citizens Of
northern Montana have had many things
to be thankful for. and chief among
them in the immediate vicinity of Great
Falls. has been the doubling of the
smelling plant of the Boston & Montana
smelter, and the employment by 1t OF
several hundred additional men; the
changing of the Montana Central cut Off
to enter the city from the south side, and

The news of the widening of the track

valuation of SIS. 200. 600 in round figures
$50 for each of us and I'VE come nearer
having the $500 than in most similar
cases. But to take these figures as rep
resenting the wealth of the county
would be an absurdity. Leaving out al
together the popular sin of lying to the
assessor, there are hundreds of thous-
ands of acres of land. filed upon and more
or less improved, which have not yet

Choteau county cannot be less than S12,-
600 zoe, and it is increasing fast.

photography of Lincoln literature. 1t is
described as a "Bibliographical Account
of Books n Pamphlets Relating to
Abraham Lincoln but does not go into
what is usually spoken of as Lincolniana,
such as portraits, cartoons, badges,
cards. circulars, posters and broadsides.
AS Judge Fish says. a most impressive
eulogium on Lincoln is uttered in the
simple bringing together of this remark
able collection of more thar 800 distinct
issues of the home and foreign press,
each of which has this unique man as it's
principal theme. Lincoln lived in the
public eye but six years and barely a
generation has elapsed since his death,
yet the volume of printed matter con-
corning him nearly equals all that has
been published about Washington and
Franklin together.
The local public library has quite a
collection of Lincoln literature, but not
nearly as complete as Judge Fish's per"
Sonal collection.
Judge Fish's book is an octave volume
of 1876 pages issued in excellent taste by
the library board. Only $50 copies were
printed, and the price in paper covers is
put at 1925 postpaid. 1t will prove an in
valuable handbook for students and for
collectors of Lincoln features-a con~
tinaully growing class of bibliophiles.

CASCADE COUNTY.

Second only to Silver Bow, with it's
metropolis, Great Falls, second only to
Butte, Cascade county will enter the new
century with the brightest prospects.
1t has a population exceeding %, 900,
and it's assessed valuation is $13, 122, 7S1,
of which 49, 44S is on realty, So, 030, 249
on personal property n $919,0S4 on rail-
roads. In has an area of 5000 square
miles, widely diversified in character and
presenting fertile valleys, bench lands
and foothills that makes an ideal grazing
country and timbered mountains rich
in all kinds Of minerals.
The industries of the county are equally
varied. The farmers raise great crops OF
cereals and vegetables, usually combin-
ing stock raising with agriculture, while
the wool cover also find the section
well adapted to their purpose.
Cascade is very rich in minerals, and
of late years the vast coal fields at Arm
ington, Stockett, Belt, Sand Coulee and
Deep Creek have been developed on a
large scale and the combined output of
these camps is enormous. Upwards of
1000 men find employment at the coal
mines.
AT Neihart, Baker and other points are
some of the finest silver and lead mines
in the state and considerable quantities
iof gold are produced. 1t has, besides,
tdeposits of iron, gypsum. lime rock, fire
clay and every variety of sandstone.
Great Falls, the county seat. is a
metropolitan city, the second in size In
the state, it's population being $4,000. Lo.
" Gated at the old ford of the Missouri
river, it has any amoun of water power
(which is utilized in a number Of manu-
featuring and power enterprises. At the
falls, it is estimated that 4OO,O 600 horse
power is available. At the Black Eagle
falls, where the works of the Boston q
Montana company are located, $1,000
horse power is already developed an
$50, 900 additional horse power can easll!

ITS ECONOMY.
1t is easy to see that this institution,
instead of being a burden, saves money
to the state. No country can afford to
build and equip a suitable home for it's
dependent and destitute children. 1t
can be done better and cheaper through
the machinery of the state. What is Of
infinitely more Importance, it saves the
children. 1t would be a wise thing, even
from a financial and economic stand
point for the state to erect, at once,
sufficient buildings, and furnish other
facilities for the accommodation of 200
children.
1t became necessary, about a year ago
to notify all the counties in the state
that we could receive no more children,
except as vacancies occurred. At that
time we had 1O5 inmates. During the
year We have returned to relatives or
recured homes for %. We nave adj

Politically, Choteau county is divided
into three parts-Republicans, demo-
Gratis and Missourians. The latter set
tied and dominated the country inthe
early days, n kept it the banner DEM
.ocratie county of the territory, but have
lost much of their former political infu-
ence in the rising tide of eastern immi-
grafton, while the republicans have pos
sessed the land. At the last election, our
vote was 1,O9S for Mckinley to 629 for
Bryan, and all the county officers but one
are republicans.

sometimes temporary. When parents and
other relatives become able to take their
children back, and furnish evidence of
that fact. we are glad to return the
children to them. Orphans and other
children who have no relatives likely
to take them. we place in other homes,
as opportunity offers. we have no
agency for this purpose as yet. SO tar
the homes have sought the children.
Recognizing the fact that no insti tution.
however perfect. can take the place of
the family home. the board has not
hesitated to let the children so when
they a reason to believe they would
have good homes. Nevertheless. we
recognize that this is a delicate and
difficult duty. In some cases, usually
childless homes. they wish a young
child to adopt. In most instances, how
ever. older children are desired, largely
for their help. In the latter case the
husband and wife are both required to
sign a contract to the effect that they
will provide a good home. clothing,
medical attendance. send to school at
least six months in the year, and. If the
child remains until OF age. give it a
good outfit of clothing and 500 in
money. The board reserve the right to
have the child returned to the home if
for any reason it is thought best.
