the commercial organizations of Louis- lana. Texas, Mississippi and Alabama to take advantage of the opportunity and push 1t for all it is worth."
 In connection with the new low rates mentioned by Mir. Smith, is 1t understood that the entire membership of the Four States Immigration League will be fur nished with complete data and the right direction and thus assist the rail lines in making these excursions a success.
 There are now some seventy-five organ ixations in the Four States Immigra- tiou League, and there is little doubt but what the energy of the four States distribute information covering their sev- eral localities. through avenues at their individual command, and also by utiliz- ing the splendid channels afforded by the agency of the railroads.
 As the rates are issued and will be placed in effect by all of the rail lines entering the States in question, it may be regarded as almost an accomplished fact that the innovation will be a splen- did success and that this section of the South will secure very material benefits from the enterprise of the rail lines.
 As at present arranged, the lines lead ing South from St. Louis, Cincinnatti, Louisville and Evansville and Chicago, have arranged for two cheap excursions the nrSt one to be run on September 10 and the second one to be sent out Octo- Der 20. The tickets will be sold subject to provisions for the same limit stop overs and other conditions. as on the regular home-seekers' excursion ticket. which gives the purchaser a return limit of twenty days The rates will be made from all points north of the south line of the State of Kentucky to all of the territory embraced in the States of Tex as, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama, and only applying, however. as far west as Houston in the aforementioned State.
 The rates are practically blanket rates in two groups, one applying to New Or leans and north thereof within the ter ritory described above, and the other ap- plying to points west of New Orleans, in- cluding Houston. The rates will be as follows:
 From Chicago to New Orleans. etc. .s16 From Chicago to Houston. etc........2O From St Louis to New Orleans, etc. 12 From St. Louis to Houston. etc........ 15 From Evansville to New Orleans...... F From Evansville to Houston, etc...... 15 From Louisville to Houston, etc........ IS From Cincinnati to New Orleans, etc. 14 From Cincinnati to Houston, etc....... IS
 Rates to all points in Mississippi and to all points in Alabama will be made the same as rates to New Orleans The rates to all points West of New Orleans, up to and including Houston and Mon roe to Houston via Shreveport will be the same as the States shown above to Houston.

HAMBLEToNIAN HISTORY.
A Curious Incident of Long Accept
 ed Falsity of Pedigree and Name.

A Curious Incident of Long Accept
 ed Falsity of Pedigree and Name.
 From John Gilmer Speeds The Horse
 fin America" in September Century. f
 Hambletonian was a bull-like horse that was trained by Hiram Woodruff. but could never develop a speed equal to a mile in three minutes-3:1S. to be exact. being the best mile he ever did. As to his pedigree. Mambrino, the grandsire, was by Messenger; but he was worthless and also vicious. He could neither run nor trot. He was bred by Louis Morris of Westchester county, New York, and sold to Major William Jones of Cold Spring Harbor, Long Island. As he was worthless and a serious disappointment, Major Jones virtually gave him away, and he was used as a travelling stallion at a small fee. John Treadwell, a Quak- CT farmer near Jamaica, Long Island. had two Conestoga. or Pennsylvania Dutch draft mares. Out of one of these mares. by Mambrino. was born Abdal- lah. This horse was so bad-tempered that he could never be broken to harness. but was ridden under the saddle. He had no speed either as a runner or trotter. not being able to a mile in four min utes at any gait. He had a muIe-l like head and ears, a badly owed neck. and a rat tail But he was a Messenger, de- spite the Conestoga crossing, and he was sold to Kentuckians for $4.500. In less than six months the hentuckians repent

No purchaser could the specuiators find at any price, and the stallion was virtually given away to stop expenses of keeping him. About this time Charles Kent wanted new horse for his butch CT wagon, and traded, through Alexander Campbell of Bulls Head, his worn-out mare to Edmund Seeley. farmer in Orange county, New York. for a steer for butchering. This butchers mare had originally been sold to him by Campbell who had obtained her in a drove of Vest ern horses paying $40 for her. Her pedi- gree was quite unknown. This mare ls known in American horse history as the Charles Kent mare, and is said to be by imported Bellfounder. She was in foal to Abdallah when Seeley got her. and the colt became the property of Bill Rvs dyk, hired man on Seeley's farm. Rvs dyk looked around for a name for hia colt--a name which should indicate the Messenger blood in him. There had been in the early years of the century a fla nous son of Messenger named after AL exander Hamilton. This horse finally be- came known as Bishops Hamiltonian In his effort to borrow the name, RyHdyk being weak in his orthography. called his horse Rysdyk's Hambletonian. And 50 he lives in history-false in his pedigree as in his name.

THE HEAT HANGS ON
WEATHER BUREAU. HAS NO
 HOPE FOR RELIEF.
Temperatures at Night in Montgom- cry Are Most oppressive-ofh- cial Hot Weather Record
 for the Past Week.

The hot spell hangs on tenaciously and the Weather Bureau holds out no hope of an immediate moderation in the heat. For about a week the temperature has been we'll up in the nineties. Yesterday the highest as recorded by the Weather Bureau was 95 in the shade. Thufsday 1t reached 97 degrees, which was the nigh- est for the season up to that time.
 These day temperatures are not so un- usually high for the time of year. In fact 1t has been hotter here by several degrees in previous years. But never in the thirty-one years local record by the Weather Bureau have the nights been so extremely and continuously hot this late in August, as they have been during the last four nights. Wednesday night the lowest temperature reached was n. When 1t is considered that 77 would be considered warm for the middle of the day during the spring and fall months. one has a better idea of just how hot 1t is.

THE WEST AT THE FAIR

Now that Governor Toole has named
committee to take formal charge of the
business Of raising fund for a Montana
exhibit at the St. Louis Worlds Fair 1t
is 20 be expected that the citizens Of the
state will not be long in doing the rest
The sum Of $4,000 is not a large amount
TO be raised and it will no doubbt be
forthcoming in time to give Montana an
exhibit worthy of the state. The latest
bulletin issued by the Worlds fair man
agement notes that North Dakota has ap-
appropriated $4,000 for a state exhibit,
Oklahoma's joint committee has agreed to
give $40 1000, while California has decided
on $4,000 as a state appropriation. The
county appropriations from California will
exceed this amount. The Mssouri-Kansas
zinc and lead district is at work on a
scheme TO build a large concentrating
plant at the fair, TO which will be shipped
four or FIVE carloads Of mineral daily to
be concentrated, in order that the fair
visitors may see how this work is done.
With Coorados $ro,ooo,o 900 gold bullion
exhibit it is certain that the Western
states will be well represented at the big
exposition. Montana will be there with
the goods.

NOTHING BUT TRAINS
FOR PASSENGERS RUNNING
What Managers OF the Railroad Enai-
neers Report Regarding the
Strike.

communication from George Estes,
president of the United Brotherhood of
Railway Engineers. received at labor head
quarters in this city, states that the action
OF the A. l.. y. and Western Federation of
Miners has materially increased the disad-
vantages under which the L. b. X. T. has
been laboring. The situation, he says. is
growing worse from the company's stand
point every day. There is no longer any
attempt to run anything but passenger
trains. The last boats coming from Victo-
ria to Vancouver were returned Victoria
and tied TIP.
The provincial government OF British
Columbia has offered to act as arbitrator
i'll the matter and it is possible that the
trouble will be submitted TO them for
settlement. However. the chances are that
the labor people will not agree TO such
arbitration owing TO the close relations
existing between the railway officials and
the provincial government. The men fear
that they would not get an even chance
before such a tribunal.

EIGHTH LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Reviewing the Work Of the Recent
Assembly.
[Fergus County Argus.l


II this legislature had accomplished
nothing more than the passage OF the
Fair Trial bill, the road bill. the supreme
court commission bill and the fellow-ser-
want bill, it would still be deserving of
great credit. But there were many bills
passed and are now laws which are Of
more or less importance and demanded
by the varied interests of this young and
growing state. While a number of mis-
chievous and worthless bills were killed
there were also some good measures that
failed OF passage in the closing hours of
the legislature. 1t is to be hoped that
Montana has seen the last of a demo-
cratic majority in either house for some
years to come. The disgrace heaped upon
the state in the past six years through
political upheaval on national issues
was nearly wiped out last fall, and il
the signs of the times are correctly inter-
preted the house-cleaning will be COM
plcted at the next general election.

Idaho Falls, Idaho, is to have a sugar
factory that will when running TO its
capacity, require the product OF $1,000
acres. There is room and need OF many
such factories in the West. Even Mon
tana is likely to need one before long
Experts say that in some parts OF the
state the soil and climate cannot be cx-
ccllcd for beet culture. When the indus
try is a little farther advanced the Home
Industry association and its auxiliaries
will not overlook the matter of beet
sugar factory. Montana needs all the in
dustrial establishments it can get. for
every one will have a tendency to reduce
the cost of living, not to speak OF the
benefit that will accrue to labor in other
directions.
