INSTITUTES.
Will Be Held in Every County in the
Near Future.

From Gov. Toole's Message: l
appropriated by the last legislature
has brought better returns than that
appropriated for the purpose of hold
ing farmers Institutes for the in
struction of the citizens of this state
in the various branches of agricul-
ture.
The law contemplates the holding
of at least n institute in each coun-
ty each year. This has been found
impracticable so far, but will be pro-
vided for in the future. A new i'm
petus has been given to farming in
Montana by the proposed federal IT.
rigation system, which, if put in
operation in this state, will add lore
than a hundred thousand farms to
u irrigable area. I quote with ap-
prevail the following extract from the
first annual report of the farmers
Institutes:
s"The wealth which nature has stor-
ed up in the rich soil of Montana can
not be estimated. 1t is now called
the Treasure state on account of the
value of it's minerals, but the time
will come when the hay, grain, fruits
and vegetables from the farms will be
worth tenfold more than the gold,
silver and copper from the mines. A
few years ago Colorado was only a
mining state. 1t is still the chief pro-
Queer of the precious minerals, but
the value of it's soil products now
far surpass those of the mines. The
same change is taking place in this
state. For the next so years our
mineral output is likely to increase,
but the rate of increase will be small
in comparison with the products from
the FARMS"
Some idea of the value of these in
stitutes can be had by a careful re-
view of the elaborate report of the
board of administration, prepared and
edited by Professor s.. Fortier, secre-
tary.

CHARGE BY COURT HOUSE ARCH.
lTEcT'S LATE PARTNER.
DRAWING is NOT HIS own
Mr.. Kent Gives Alleged History of
Picture Now on Exhibition
in This City.
70 the Editor of The Gazette:

To the Editor of The Gazette:
Sir: 1 hear that you are for fai,
play. Now! Do you consider it fail
for C. E. Bell of this city to submit
in competition Tor your court house
drawing of a building executed and
designed by another architect?
During the term of partnership
of Bell & Kent, l was the architect
and prepared all the designs and
drawings, Bell being the rustler after
work (and a fine one, too), and the
superintendent. A year ago last June
| severed my connection with Bell.
We divided the office pictures and
drawings between us, and in the di-
vision, the drawing which he is now
exhibiting in Billings as his own. fell
to his lot. This design and picture
vas first prepared for the court house
at st. Joseph, Mich, and was also
selected at Anaconda. The design is
exclusively and absolutely my own
from foundation to the top of the
campanile or tower. | made the
drawings of every part and every de-
tail, architectural and structural, of
the building. Also | laid out gener-
ally the arrangement of the different
floors of the plans which he submit
ted to your board, which. were the
plans submitted for the court house at
Great Falls. He has reduced and
modified these, but they cannot be
made to correspond with the larger
building shown in the picture.
He has exhibited a design in pen
and ink for the Great Falls court
house, as his own. This was design
ed and executed by myself. Any
member of the capitol building com.
mittee will inform you that l made
all the designs and drawings. During
the Is years that l have been in the
business, this is the first instance I
nave hllOWA vi a LA0u doouAAAu6 IAC
title of architect who has presented,
as his own, the designs of another.
"He who steals my purse steals
trash," but he who robs me of my
reputation takes that which not only
enriches him but gives him the glory
of producing a thing of beauty,
l did not compete for the building,
$50 you will see it is no "a matter of
"sour grapes)' as l was not notified OF
either competition until too late to
prepare designs, seven days the first
time and IA the second, but I do think
that, as MI. Bell has been awarded
the contract on my designs, l should
be accorded a small share of the
adulation given to Mr.. Bell.
Sincerely thanking you, Mr.. Editor,
for granting me this space.

EVIDENCE LACKING
To Attribute Wrong Causes to Mrs
Ross Death at Lynn.

Lynn, Mass, April S.-David Ross,
who desire to secure the hasty burial
of his wife, who, died, last Thursday
aroused suspicion and caused his ar
rest, was arraigned in the district court
today, and held in $500 bonds on the
charge of being accessory to a criminal
operation that caused his wife's death.
Mrs. Ross body was eXhumed, today,
and, this afternoon, Medical Examiner
Pinkham and Assistant Medical Ex-
aminer Newhall performed an autopsy.
No septic symptoms We're discovered
and the result of the autopsy is more
than ever puzzling to the authorities,
as no evidence of a criminal operation
was disclosed.
DR.. f. p Wing, who certified to the
Woman's death as due to rheumatism of
the heart, asked to be present at the
autopsy, but after a consultation with
the district attorney, Medical Exam
iner Pinkham declined his request
Ross has told the police that his wife
went to DR.. Wing for treatment against
his wishes, but of this they have no
direct proof and unless they can mean
time secure additional evidence, it is
believed that Ross will be discharged
when he comes up for u hearing, Sat
urday.

NO ONE WORRIES.
In Fact Our Seaport Cities Can Never
Be Shut Out by Others.

Boston; April S-The agents of the big
rans,Atlantic lines do not appear to be
greatly alarmed over the Toronto dispatch
announcing the intention of the Canadian
Pacific Railway to: divert as much as pos
sible of its Canadian Northwest wheat
traffic from New York and Boston to Ca
madam ports. They declare that every
year the Canadian Pacific, through its
agents, makes the same statement and
then proceeds to carry out its business
arrangements in the manner that is best
adapted to the prevalent conditions.
Alexander Martin of the Cunard Line
said: The action of the C. L. R. r. will
have little effect on this port. The situa-
ton can be summed up very briefly: In
summer the c p. r. r. has always turned
over its grain to Canadian lines. In win.
ter time, when navigation on the lakes,
closes and Montreal is icebound the grain
goes to the seaboard by other channels
koston has always figured on fair per-
centage of grain traffic and see no reason
to fear loss of traffic.
r. e. Burnett of the Furness Line,
Richard Farley of the Dominion Line, and
J. w. Mclaughlin, freight manager for
the Dominion Line expressed practically
similar opinion of the situation.

ordering Secretary Ross to investigate the
conditions in the various places and re-
port his findings to the executive council
'fhe council was instructed in case Secre-
tary Ross fails to induce the mill owners
to advance wages, to order strikes at such
time as may be deemed most eXpedent
The representatives. of local unions in
the places named stated that the spinnerS
believed the mill owners had not dealt
a year ago, and that consequently strikes
should be ordered without unnecessary de-
lay. 1t was, however, considered best by
the convention to postpone action until
after the Lowell. Woonsocket and Man
vile fights have been settled 1t was de-
cided to financially support the textile
strikes in these three places and to levy
an assessment upon all SpinnerS for this
purpose. III addition it was determined
TO call upon labor men throughout the
United States and Canada to support the
men, women and children now locked out
or upon strike.
The discussion brought out an express
sion of opinion that the Lowell mills could
grant the increase of wages asked by the
operative
Secretary Cliffe of the Rhode Island dis
trict. in explaining the Woonsocket and
Manville situations declared that men in
these two places would be successful pro-
