versy. There was a representation
Of both operators and miners, and
members of the press and numerous
other persons were present. The

bers of the strike commission, Justice
Gray, as chairman. occupying the CEN
ter and Messrs. Clark and Wright the
seats to the right OF him in the order
named. Bishop Spalding and Mr..
Parker sat on the left in the order
named. The conference took about
two hours time. ana was given up
entirely to a discussion Of the time
and method of proceeding with the
proposed investigation.
The commission decided to begin
Its work next Thursday morning at .
o'clock; the first days OF the investi-
CATION to be devoted to physical ex-
animation Of the miners and homes of
the miners, starting In the vicinity Of
Scranton. The anthracite field will
be covered
There was considerable discussion
over the proposition made by the COM
mission to have expert accountants
appointed to audit the standard of
wages. and classification OF the min
ers to be made by the operators for
the use OF the commission, but no
result was reached on this point be-
yond the announcement by the chair
man of the commissions intention to
appoint such an accountant In case
his services should be found neces-
sary. d
During the progress OF the meeting
Mr.. Mitchell, as a representative OF
the miners. presented a copy of the
original declaration of the miners as
forwarded by the Shamokin conven-
tion, as basis OF the demands OF the
miners.
The demand is. first. for an increase
Of 20 per cent in wages of those not
engaged by the day: second, a reduc-
tion Of 20 per cent In the working
hours of those engaged by the day;
third. the payment for coal miners by
weight at the minimum rate of sixty
cents per ton Of 2.2i0 pounds: fourth.
wage agreement between operators
and miners for the adjustment OF
wages.
Mr.. Baer, on the part OF the coal OPP
orators. took exception to Mr.. Mitch
ellis appearance before the commission
as a representative OF the Mine Work
ers' union. but said he had no objec-
tion to his presence as a representa-
tive of the strikers in an individual
capacity. The commission made no
attempt to settle the point. but II was
apparent the question Of recognition
OF the union would be an important
and knotty point to the arbitrators.

Letter on the Subject.
FERGUS WOOL CLIP EXCELLENT
The Good Quality Of the Wool Raised
in Fergus County win Guar.
antee Good Market.

The possibilities for this section OF
the state are made considerably
brighter by the advent of the Montana
railroad and the facilities offered fol-
the further development of both the
vast mineral and agricultural resour
ces of Fergus county.
With the coming of the Iron horse
and the establishing of rapid means
of transfer to the busy marts of com.
merce, enterprises of all kinds will
doubtless be started and Lewistown
will be the center of supply for Fer.
gus county and the shipping point for
the products of its mines and ranges
With the immense amount of wool
which is raised yearly in Fergus coun.
ty 1t is more than probable that a
market will be established here and
such an event would doubtless be vel.
coined and given the best support OF
the business men of Lewistown and
surrounding towns. In relating to this
matter. the following letter was re-
ceived by the ARGUS last week from
Robert Rantoul, general manager OF
the Montana Railroad:
Fergus County ARGUS.
Helena. Mont, Oct. 20. l902.-Dear
Sir: | noticed with pleasure that your
paper was already agitating the ques
tion of a wool market upon the com
pletion of the Montana railroad al
Lewistown. have given this matter
considerable thought and believe that
such a plan is perfectly practicable. II

number of sheep in Fergus county
would be over 100000, and a conserv
ative estimate of the wool produced
by this number of sheep. over 1000.
600 pounds. From the location OF
Lewistown. ] believe that practically
all of the wool OF Fergus county could
be concentrated at that point, and II
is possible that some Of the wool OF
Meagher county could also be includ
ed. With market of 100000 to
100000 pounds. Incluuing some OF
the choicest clips In Montana. the
question of attracting buyers. am
convinced, would solve itself. That
such market would meet with the
favor Of the growers Is evident. by the
disposition shown by the largest sheep
growers in the county.
The advantages to be derived by the
local merchants at Lewistown by such
a concentration Of wool and the
bringing together of the growers at
this point. at the season OF the year
when they are purchasing their sup
plies, would be incalculable.
To make the proposition a success
II would be necessary y. course to ar.
range for the proper warehouslng and
display OF the wool, and the plan IN.
augurated at Miles City whereby the
local people formed warehouse as.
sociation. which Is used during the
wool season for the handling of the
clip and during the balance of the
year for warehousing OF merchandise.

would certainly bear Investigation on
the part of those interested in max.
ing first-class market Of Lewistown.

INSTALLATION SERVICES.
The Rev. Henry ouickenden 10 Duly
Installed as Pastor.

On Sunday evening at the Presby-
terian church an unusually large con-
gregation was present at the install
lation OF the Rev. Henry Quickenden
AZ Presbyterian pastor. The church
was elegantly decorated Tor the oc
casion with palms and hot house Aow'
ers and the ceremony was Of the most
impressive and interesting nature.
The services were conducted by
the Rev. &. +. Richardson. synodical
superintendent for Montana who was
ably assisted by the Rev. George Ed
wards and the Rev. Albert Pfaus. The
choir surpassed itself in the renditisf
OF several excellent anthems and
hymns and the entire service was one
which will long be remembered By
those in attendance.
Mr. Arthur Froembling, soloist, fav.
ored the congregation with The Holy
City" finely rendered.
The ceremony OF installing the pas
tor was handled in a most earnest
manner by the Rev. c. +. Richard.
son: the Rev. Edwards gave the
charge TO the pastor and was followed
by the Rev. Pfaus in a most impress
sive charge To the congregation. The
latter gentleman dwelt at length on
the pleasant relations which had SO
long existed between himself and the
congregation and said that his one re-
quest to the people was that they ex
tend the same helping hand to their
new pastor and give him the same
niche In their affections which he had
SO long occupied.
The Rev. Edwards went over the ear
ly history of the birth OF the Presby
terisn church in Lewistown and stat
ed that nothing proved the earnest
interest taken in church affairs by
the people of the city SO well as the
rapid increase In the congregation
and the present good standing OF the
church both in religious and financial
matters.
The entire ceremony was one OF
more than usual interest and signif.
canoe to the Presbyterian church. IL
being the first occasion on which a
minister has been duly installed as
pastor. The services closed with a
touching benediction by the new In.
cumbent. the Rev. Henry Quickenden.

CATTLE SHIPMENTS.
Over Fifty Per Cent More Cate Ship
ped This Season.


Shipments of range cattle -om the
west this year have increasedfifty per
cent over the shipments of list year.
The Northern Pacific has papared a
statement of the number o head OF
cattle, sheep and horses iat have
been handled this year up October
1st, and the number handed during
the same period last year. The CON-
psrison indicates large icrease.
This year $4,000 head o cattle have
been shipped. while last year for the
ame period the number shipped was
25, 400. The number of cars In which
cattle were shipped this year was
2,565, while last year ne cattle were
handled in 1,104 cars. This rear 225..
700 sheep have been snlpptd In S37
cars. and last year 10000 were car.
ried in 4S0 cars. The increase In the
shipment of horses has not been SO
great. This year the shipments to
October lst amounted % lO.930 head
while last year the shignents amount
ed to 9,170 head. The total number
of car loads handleu this year to

MODERN ADVERTISING.

Esg'nnipKs OF This Method OF selling
In tho East
Fifty years ago it was considered be-
meath the dignity OF many SUI .Antial
concerns TO advertise, beyond the In
sertion In the newspapers OF an occa-
donal business card. Some OF the ex-
periencSs of that time show how re-
Gently advertising, as we know 1t, has
developed. A retail hardware house
In an Eastern city once found itself
possessed of ten times the number OF
articles of a certain kind that It had
intended to buy. Az they had been
ordered especially for a new hotel. and
were OF peculiar design. there seemed
70 be no way Of disposing OF them ex-
cept at a merely nominal sum. One
OF the younger men connected with the
concern offered TO move them" at
fair price, provided he be permitted to
advertise The suggestion encoun-
tered much opposition, but finally a
small sum was set apart to carry 1t
out. The advertisement was drafted
In an attractive way and the people
soon began TO buy the new article.
Finally the house was Obliged to send
TO the manufacturers for more. When
the next seasons trade opened, the
member of the firm who had most op-
posed the experiment whispered to the
young man that be had better write
out Il few notices "and pat them in
the papers" From such beginnings
the advertising practice has come.
Thousands Of dollars arc now spent,
not only in advertising itself. but In
devising clever catch-words. ingenious
phrases and illustrations which will
stick in the memory OF the reader. as
well as new general methods. No
doubt money may be wasted in ineffec-
tive advertising, or in advertising
worthless goods. But ON the other
hand fortunes are made where there Is
in an article happy union between
puhliaity and merit.
