r1ONTANA'S PRODUCTS.

Editor Sutherlin of the Rocky
Mountain Husbandman, who is
leading authority on cereals, fruits
and farming in general, writes thus
in his paper of the recent Helena
state fair:
There was some very good corn
from nearly all of the counties, and
from Yellowstone the showing was
quite good indeed. The Dawson
county product of corn was adjudged
the best in quail y, but Yellowstone
led in quar- tlty, variety and general
appearance. The vegetable show ex-
celled all others. We have never
seen such cabbage, such potatoes,
such beets before, and the fruit show
was the admired of all admirers, the
one exhibit that stood out in splendid
relief as crowning success. w. B.
Harlan Of Como, RayaIli county, ex-
hibited 6S varieties of fruit. Carbon
county, the youngest fruit growing
section in the state, had a marvellous
display of various kinds of Fl nit while
Mlssoula and Flathead counties were
strictly in the race for the honors.
Broadwater county also has reason to
be proud of their fruit show. The
fruit show, taken as a whole, was SIM
ply immense. There, were peaches,
pears, grapes, plums and apples too
numerous to mention. The apple dis
play we are satisfied could not be ex-
celled in all the wide world. Conser-
vative men who are accustomed to
looking upon fruit displays made this
declaration. Montana soil crops were
we'll represented and the buildings in
which they were arranged in booths
was simply marvel to behold. Ac-
customed as is the writer to seeing
Montana products, he was surprised
at the wonderful display that was
made and the universal Judgment of
all who went inside the grounds was
that Montana is all right.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1908.
THE SHUT DOWN.

An astounding series of events, re-
sulting from crisis in the copper
war that Is being relentlessly waged
between the Amalgamated company
and Mr.. Helnze's concern, has kept
the entire population of the state on
the qui we during the past week.
On Thursday evening of last week,
Immediately following the announce
ment of Judge Clancy's decision
awarding the Minnie Healey mine to
Heinze and continuing the MacGin-
mis- VS.. Boston x Montana receiver
ship matter, orders were issued by
the Amalgamated authorities to shut
down all their mines, smelters and
other plants throughout the state,
thus throwing between ten and tif-
teen thousand men out of employ
ment just on the verge of winter.
The reason assigned for this by the
Amalgamated authorities was that
the courts in Silver Bow county are
SO "manifestly adverse" to their in.
terests that they would no longer at
tempt to do business in the state un-
til a more favorable condition had
been brought about.
Mr.. Heinze, leader of the opposi-
ton, immediately came out in state
ment declaring that Judge Clancy's
order in the Boston & Montana case
did not necessitate close-down, and

Bedridden, alone and destitute.
Such, in brief, was the condition of
an old soldier by name of J. J. Hav-
ems, Versailles, O. For years he was
troubled with kidney disease and
neither doctors nor medicines gave
him relief. At length he tried Elec-
trio Bitters. 1t put him on his feet in
short order, and now he testities. 'I'm

that the order has been IN effect for
two years past; this order merely
putting the matter in shape for the
supreme court to pass upon. He de-
clared that IN his opinion the close
down was due to an attempt to affect
the price of Amalgamated stock on
Wall Street. In conclusion he de.
plored the effect the close down
would have, and promised to more
than double the force of men in his
employ, and to the limit of his means
see that the head of no family, or
those dependant upon him shall
want for the necessities of life.
President William Scallon neat is
sued statment in which he accuses
MIR. Heinze of uttering malicious
falsehoods, and characterizes his pre-
tensions as preposterous.
Meanwhile the Miners union got
busy and voted to offer to buy the
100 shares of Boston q Montana stock
owned by John Mace inniss, which is
such bone of contention, the money,
some $4,000, to be advanced by SEN
ator Clark, the DAILY bank and the
First National bank. Before the
committee could wait upon HIM, Mr..
MacGinnlss had departed for Salt
Lake City. The next day Mr.. Heinze
addressed multitude from the court
house steps and offered to sell this
Boston q Montana stock at its mark
ct price before the ANAL lgamation,
provided the Anaconda company
would sell him fiye-thirty-sixth in-
terest in the Nipper NINE, of which
he owns the balance. Mr.. Scallon
Indignantly rejected this, declaring
1t to be a preposterous propo-
sition.
Several plans for bringing about a
settlement have been proposed but
such mammoth interests are involved
and the feeling between the prinei-
pals OF the two corporations has be.
come so bitter that the situation
seems we'll nigh hopeless.
A crisis in the industrial affairs of
the state has been brought about.
1t would seem that the big copper
war has come to a show down. Nei-
ther of the principals cares to shoul-
der the responsibility for the incal.
culable hardships and suffering that
