CASE WILL NOT BE DROPPED,
Mr.. Slater Is Determined That Lee
Shall Not Escape Punishment.

Mr. Slater Is Determined That Lee
Shall Not Escape Punishment.
I'VE are not going to let the Lee
case drop at this point. 1t is our
intention to endeavor in some way
possible to bring that young man to
justice. We are not going to do this
to recover our money, but to make
an example OF this agent both for
our own protection in the future and
for that of every merchant who is
doing business in other states
through agents
Such is the statement of J. R.
Slater, general manager for Mark
+. Jones & Sons, in regard to M. E.
Lee, for whose arrest on the charge
of grand larceny there is warrant
out in Kalispell. Mont. and who an
peared before Justice KEENAN, of this
city a week ago charged with being
fugitive from justice, says the
Spokane Chronicle. The evidence
was of such a character that the
Spokane justice decided to hold the
defendant until the decision of tn
governor regarding extradition pa
pers could be learned A tele-
gram from Kalispell announc-
ed that Governor Toole, Of
Montana, had refused to make a
request for the eXtradition of Lee,
and as a result the prisoner was re-
leased and is now at liberty to go
where and when he pleases.
1t seems however, from the state
ment of Mr.. Slater that he is not
through with the case and is not
liable to be for some time to come.
Talking on the subject further, Mr..
Slater sail:
Il believe, in fact know, from
what the various dealers have said
to me or the subject that the music
dealers Of this and other cities. us
well as the merchants IN general, are
very much interested in this case,
and we are going to make test case
of it. We are going to find out as
soon as possible what the governor s
reasons were for refusing to make
the request, and then we will pro-
coed to overcome those objections If
possible

Charles Flood Made Rash State

Special Correspondence of the Bee:
Holt, Feb. 1S.-Charles Flood, a
teamster, was badly beaten up at an
entertainment given at the Porter
logging camp near here. He had been
in Holt, where he is said to have
drank considerable, and upon return
ing to the camp started in to smash
everything in sight. While engaged
in this amusement he made the rash
statement that he could do any man
on the place." The fun COM
menced at once, and before Flood was

A COUNTY FAIR.
Horsemen Will Start Movement
Which Should Succeed,


Which Should Succeed.
A movement has been started with
view of holding county fair some
time during the coming summe.',
which promises to be successful. The
stockmen have interested themselves
in the matter and it is stated that
the Fair association are acting with
them in the matter.
During the past year many bloodel
trotters and PAGERS have been
brought into the county, which would
assure speedy racing, and as the
agricultural wealth of the county has
been greatly developed, there is
every reason why county fair could
be made a success. The old fair
grounds could be put in condition for
such an event with a comparatively
small investment, as it would not
necessitate building new tracks.

AN INTERESTING MEETING.
FIathead Valley Will Furnish Excel
lent Object Lessons.
Rocky Mountain Husbandman

ROCKY mountain tuSDanuman.
The annual meeting of the State
Horticultural Society to convene at
Kalispell one week hence promises
to be one Of the most interesting
meetings of learned agriculturists
ever gathered in single conclave
in the state. The metropolis of the
Flathead region has been selected
on account of the excellent object
lessons the country will pe able to
furnish visitors from other parts of
the state. Fruit-grow,ng is now out
stripping any other branch of agri-
culture in our state. According to
the estimate of our esteemed gov
ernor, Joseph X. Toole, Montana or
chards have been advanced in the
past twenty-five years from less than
five hundred to more than five mil
lion trees, and are being increased at
the rate of half million trees per
annum. From fifty thousand dol
lars worth of trees sold in Montana
each year for three succeeding years
by the Geneva, N. r.. nursery, about
1S79-S0-S1, we doubt if Montana has
an apple. There is considerable
small fruit, to be sure, but from the
universal and eXtravagant expert
ments in those early days the grow
ing of standard fruits received a
BLACK eye and grievious set back. 1t
has rallied from the blow, we are
glad to know, and now the eastern
and western extremes of our state are
has not yet been determined. how far
up the slope of the main range of the
Rockies tandard-fruit-grow may
yet be carried and small fruits grow
from river strand to timber line
on our most rugged heights. Mon
tana is a great state-a great state
for growing herds and focks, and
grain fields and meadows, and, east
and west, orchards and berry patches
are taking possession and are fast
encompassing the state. Montana
is no longer dependenc upon her Sis
ter states for her fruit supply. 1t
is true large quantities of fruit are
shipped in, but this generation will
see fruit an article of export; and
we'll it may be, for the exquisite fla
or of the Montana berry and apple,
the rich color and the superb juicy
quality of both the Montana standard
and small fruit are facts which will
bring the product into favor in every
land where it is introduced. Twenty
five years since the industry was but
an experimentation it is a grand sue
cess, and it is a pleasure to attend
the annual conclaves and learn the
lessons of practical experience from
the lips of men who have wrought
order out of chaos, success out of
failure, by patient toll and establish
ed the orchard in these mountain
wilds. The Flathead region is es-
peclally the home of the fruit or.
chard. as is at least one-third of the
area OF our state, and a lucrative liv.
ing can scarcely fail to bless our
orchard-growers when their trees are
in full bearing. Blessed is the Mon
tana horticulturalist. May our or.
chards increase and multiply, for
nothing else adds such happiness to
our homes.

FOR Higher Education Made to

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. - The
Washington Post this morning says
that President Roosevelt has received
a letter from Andrew Carnegie in
which the latter offers to make do
nation of S10.00O,000 to the United
States. The letter will be referred to
congress by the president in special
message

of establishing in Washington a uni

as his idea has been developed it pro-
poses gift after the manner of the

establishment and maintenance of
what is now known as the Smithso-
MAN institution. SmithSon desired the

for the development of higher educa-
ton He has consulted President Gil

of the country. They heartily indorse
his plans. rhe proposed university will
not interfere in the least with the edu-
cational Institutions already establish

cOrding to the present plans, its doors
will be open only to those who desire

Carnegie also wants the new univer-

search, so that the United States can
eventually stand side by side with
Germany if not excel that nation, in
scientific development.
Mr. Carnegie's plan does not pro
pose a national university in the sense

the falling off in the enrolment over

nearly 30 students enrolled, and now
the number is 1873, being twcnty-three
less than last years enrolment. Dr..
Warficld said the decline in the en-
rollmcnt of students was noticeable
in practically all of the Presbyterian
seminaries of the United States.
