Hugh 1. Wilson has returned from
a trip to Billings, says the Butte Min
er. "That is the liveliest town in the
state" said Mr.. Wilson. IT own a
piece of property there and have been
importuned to sell half a dozen times
during the last month at a good ad-
vance over what I paid for it last
year. The Yellowstone valley is the
finest stockraising section of the
state. Since the feed problem has
been solved by the raising of alfalfa,
there is no longer any danger of
losses in the winter. Three and four
crops of alfalfa are raised each sea-
son, and any quantity of hay can be
had for $3.50 per ton. Again, pastures
can be rented during the winter in
the Big Horn country. Cattle are no
longer left to rustic their own feed
during the cold winter months, as
there is plenty of cheap hay for them"

ISSUES A PROCLAMATION.
Governor TooIe Designates December
20 as "FIag Day."

In compliance with the request Of
President Francis of the Louisiana
Purchase exposition Governor Toole
has issued a proclamation designating
December 20 as alag day." If heed
is given to the Recommendation of his
excellency the people of this state
will join those of other states embrace
ed in the purchase and on that day
fly flags in honor of the event COM
m~emorated, it being the anniversary
of the day when the title to the pur-
chase became vested in the United
States.
The proclamation was issued last
Wednesday and is as follows:
Whereas, 1t seems appropriate to
celebrate with impressive ceremonies
the anniversary date of the actual
transfer of title of the Louisiana Pur-
chase to the United States, and
Whereas, The Importance of this
change to American sovereignty is
now awakening widespread interest
at home and abroad and has elicted
special mention in the message of the
president of the United States, and
whereas, The patriotic PROPOSE
ton put forth in other states to float
the American flag on such anniversary
from the buildings of all national,
state, county and municipal institu-
lions in the entire Louisiana Purchase
meets with my unqualified approval,
"Now, therefore, To the end that an
other worthy historical day may be
added to those we celebrate, I hereby
recommend that Friday, December 20,
1901, be observed in the manne afore-
said as Louisiana Purchase Flag day,
and that the citizens of the state gen.
orally, wherever practicable, at their
homes and places of business, display
the national colors."

INTERESTING LAND CONTEST.
Does Temporary Absence to Gain
Livelihood Constitute Abandonment.

Testimony was being heard yester-
day by Clerk of the Court Williams
in the contest instituted by John
Kuros against homestead entry No.
3,7O6, made by G.. S. McFarlin for the
northeast quarter of section "a, town
ship 2, south, range 20, east. The con-
testant alleges abandonment, mas
much as the contestee has not resided
upon the land continuously, having
been engaged in following his trade,
that of a printer, for the past few
months in this city. The c~ontestee
admits this part Of the allegation, but
denies that it constitutes abandon
ment under the law, as it has been nee
essary for him to do so in order that
he might gain his livelihood and earn
sufficient to enable him to improve
the land, the condition of the land as
to improvement not being such as to
afford the needed revenue.
Prior to entering the land under the
homestead law the entryman held pos
session Of it under the timber culture
act and planted a large number of
trees, only to find that it was already
supplied by nature with an amount of
growing timber sufficient to debar him
from acquiring title under that law.
In the meantime he had fenced the
land and also broke about 25 acres
which has been seeded to alfalfa. A
house is situated upon the contested
tract and the contestee has always
made his legal residence there ever
since his first entry. Prior to that
time the land had been held by other
parties and MI. McFarlin secured pos
session of it by buying the relinquish-
ment of the then holder.

No social event of the season has
been more enjoyable than the card
party given yesterday afternoon by
Mrs. S. w. Soule at her pretty home
two miles west of the city. Four
room ZEN suite, we're all thrown open
and t%astefully decorated with pink and
white carnations, ferns and smilax.
The fretwork between the different
rooms was twined with ropes Of smi-
lax, and jardineres filled with fragrant
carnations rested on the flower stands
beneath.
There were cut crystal vases of the
nodding flowers on piano, tables and
bookcases, and were arranged most
effectively with ferns and smilax.
About 40 guests accepted the hospi-
tally of the hostess, and enjoyed the
afternoon playing domino whist. At
the close of the series of games Mrs.

Hugh Cameron Of White Sulphu,
Springs Kills Himself.

Springs Kills Himself.
News has been received Of the sui
eide of Hugh Cameron at White Sui
phur Springs last Tuesday. Although
not so well known to the more recent
residents Of Billings the deceased is
well remembered by the older settlers,
having at n time resided in these
parts. Before removing to White Sui
phur Springs Mr.. Cameron was en-
gagged in the sheep business, an ecu
patton two of his brothers still follow
in Fergus county and who are well
known here. The deceased had been
separated from his wife for several
years, a fact that gave him much un-
happiness and it is believed that con-
slant brooding over it caused his mind
to become affected, as it is, said that
for a number of days before he killed
himself he had acted strangely and
to some of his acquaintance he stat
ed that he feared his mind was failing.
Monday evening Cameron left the
First National bank Of White Sulphur
Springs, of which he was assistant.
cashier, and wandered about all night,
being found Tuesday morning on the
outskirts OF the town almost exhaust
ed from exposure. He was induced to
enter a house and take some nourish-
ment, while his friends were notified
Of his whereabouts, although he had
requested that they be kept in ignor-
ance as to where he was. Some of
them went to the house and as they
were about to enter a shot was heard
and Cameron was found lying on the
floor with a bullet through his temple.
He fingered until 2 in the afternoon,
having shot himself at about 10, when
he died.
Deceased was a Scotchman and
about IS years of age. In addition to
his wife, who lives in the east, and
the brothers mentioned he also left
two daughters, one married, both of
whom reside at Helena. He had been
a resident of the state for about 25
years and always bore an excellent
reputation.

At 5 o'clock refreshments were serv-
ed by the hostess, assisted by Mrs. P.

THE DINNER A PRIVATE AFFAIR.

Watterson Shifts the Air and Says There's
Fun Ahead For Democrats.
(Snecial to WASHINGTON Posi-.

Louisville, KY, Octr 21.--Henry Waiter
son, in the Courier Journal tomorrow,
will give expression ON the entertainment
of Booker Washington at President
Roosevelts private table. Mr. Watterson
will say:
ut was a sensation Already it rises
to the dignity of Cause celebre.' Pres
emily we shall begin to speak of the
Booker Washington incident One does
not know precisely whether TO laugh or 10
whistle. Assuredly, it is the part of wis
dom in Democrats to say nothing and saw
wood Each American, whether native
or of African descent, has the right to
pick his company, to sit at table with
whomsoever he will, and, if it please the
President to dine one or a dozen gentle
men of color at the White House-'lmof
ficially, mind you-that is nobody's bust
ness. Nevertheless, and at the same
time, there are certain conventions call
them prejudices, If you like-it were we'll
for all men, and particularly for great
public exemplars, to consider in their mi

held in politics and diplomacy to be worse
than crime so in society-particularly
in those homes of luxury and alimony
which give the word and set 4he pace
to the four hundred-it is safer u commit
a sin than, to be detected in a solecism.
TRUE TO HIS POLITICAL RELIGION.
''The President need not be reminded
of this. He knows it we'll. Nobody knows
it better. But he is exceptional. Born
with ruffe around his neck ,tnd a gold
spoon in his mouth, he grew up to fitch
from among his playthings a ticket CALI
ing for the capital prize in the lottery of
life. Such man is tempted to defy
usage. He gets to be a law unto himself
Having arrived upon the scene to regen-
crate mankind and reform the world, may
he not, shall he not, clasp the man and
brother to his bosom, take counsels of

That is what Booker Washington says

PRECEDENTS THAT NAUsEATE

The apologists of Roosevelt for prac-
Using social equality seem to find som.
comfort in parading instances where
Booker Washington has been dined by
other white men. A Washington corre-
spondent of Philadelphia paper quoting
from Washington's up From Slavery
says that Booker was entertained in
Paris as the guest of the University Club
at big banquet presided over by Horace
Porter, U. S. Ambassador. and attended
by ex-President Harrison, Archbishop Ire
land and others. In his book Booker
says:
Through the kindness of Lady Aber-
deem, my wife and / were enabled to go
with a party of those who were attend
ing the international Congress of Wo-
men, then in session in London, to see
Queer Victoria at Windsor Castle, where
afterward We were all the guests of Her
Majesty at tea
A Cleveland, Ohio, special to the Phil
adelphia Times, quotes Chestnut, the ne
gro novelist, as saying:
II happen to know that Booker T
Washington and Mrs. Washington were
honored guests at the wedding OF
yVupg John ID. Rockefeller. Jr. Further
more, it was not so long ago that Booker
T. Washington entertained John ID. Rookie
Teller, Jr, at the formers home in Ala
bama. There is no reason why President
Roosevelt, who is gentleman, should
decline to entertain Booker T. Washing
ton, who is another gentleman
These extracts from Washington's book
and from Chestnut's interview show that
with few exceptions the negro who
teaches or writes longs for social equal
ity. Putting his daughter in a white
school in New England shows Booker's
DIES ire. 1t had been supposed by his pub
lie addresses that Booker Washington was
different from Fred Douglass and the
rest, but that supposition is evidently
incorrect. He has deliberately forfeited
the position he formerly held by letting
go the substance to grasp the shadow. The
precedents quoted from his book show
people in Europe as sweet morsels under
his tongue. In Europe there is no color
line in society The negroes are so few
that they are curiosties 1t is different
here, and the barrier is as essential as
separate schools. The man who would re-
move either would commit blunder
worse than a crime.

Washington Claims to Have Been Entertained

White People Of the
South,

The following special from New York
to the Augusta Chronicle shows that
Booker Washington is like the rest of
his race-willing to lose power in
grasping after social equality:
when asked by reporter today at
Huntington, l.. l., as to the meaning OF
the violent announcement OF PRESIDENT
Roosevelt by a number or southern
newspapers for giving the colored ora
tor a dinner at the White House, Book
err Washington said: Il do not care to
say much about the matter. l think
the newspapers are getting up senSa-
ton in regard to it, and that they do not
voice the opinion of the Southern peo-
pie. However, they are hurting the en-.
tire South more than they are President

"HaYe you been personally acquaint
ed with the President for some time?"
asked the reporter.
YES. | have known him for a num-
Der OF years. We have consulted to-
gethcr many times over matters per-
tanning to my race in the South. The
President is very much interested in the
Tuskegee work and keeps posted on it
right along.
AS HE UNDERSTANDS HIM.
LAS far as / can learn of him, he
makes no distinction as to the color of

the negro, Indian or Chipaman as he is
with the Anglo-Saxon when he wants

reaching benefit The speeches and ad-

one that augers well for the spread or

A LAME EVASION.

The Morning Post yesterday morning
devoted several columns to trying to ex-
plain why it did mot print the telegram
from Mr.. George S. Baker, its regular cor
respondent. about the Pritchard meeting
in Louisburg. The explanation is that it
WAS not printed because the telegram did
not reach Raleigh until 9:15 p. m. The
first edition of the paper does not go to
press until after midnight and the Sec
ond edition until after three o'clock in
the morning And yet it could not print
Mr.. Bakers telegram favorable to De-
mocracy which arrived three hours be-
fore the first edition went to press and
six hours before the second edition But
IT could print a glowing account of the
meeting given by Senator Pritchard in the
interest of the Republicans obtained more
than an hour after Mr.. Bakers telegram
arrived
There is not an employee of morning
paper printed in the world who will not
laugh at the idea that a telegram re-
ceived at Oils p. m. is too late to get in
the next days paper. The explanation is
so ridiculous as to be funny, if not made
by moribund old freight car of a news
paper that always runs on side track
and waits for signals from railroad
headquarters before starting to crawl
along the track.
The attack on Mr.. Baker in. the Post
was scurrilous and false, the vicious
falsehood about Mr.. Rogers was con-
temptibIe, and the TRADE against the
News and Observer full of billingsgate
and filth. Nothing so indecent and vile
has appeared in the columns even Of the
Asheville Gazette, which paper is evil

which the Post is patterned. ter this
