! GENEROUS CONTRIBUTION.
AmaIsamated Company subseribes
$4,000 to state Fair.

|aH rs
w. H. Raymond, member Of the
state fair board for Madison county,
has given out the statement that Viii
liam Scallon, president Of the Anacon-
da Mining company, has promised to
subscribe $4,000 to the fund created
by the legislature for the state fair.
The story of the contribution is con-
tanned in the following, taken from
the Madisonian, published at Virginia
City:
wv. H. Raymond Of Belmont Park,
Madison county's state fair commits
sioner and member of the executive
board, visited Butte last Saturday,
where he met other members Of the
board. Their object was to raise
funds to enable the executive board
to carry on the fair enterprise success
fully, as the small appropriation
made by the legislature was found
to be entirely inadequate for the
great undertaking of launching our
state fair successfully. The state APP
preparation for this year was $4,000
and when that amount came to be d.
vided up in awards for premiums for
a long list of exhibits, and to erect
buildings to house those exhibits, it
was found entirely inadequate.
1.-The only way out Of the dilemma
the committee could see was to raise
additional funds by private contribu-
tions, and believing no n was more
interested in the welfare of u state
than the largest mining corporation in
the state, the committee visited the
Office of the Amalgamated Copper
company and met its president, Wi
liam Scallon, of whom it may be said
there is not a more public spirited
gentleman in the state Of Montana.
The committee, through its chairman,
Mr.. NARROW, made a statement to Mr..
Scallon regarding the financial con.
dition of the state. fair.
Ito make the enterprise a success
we must raise more funds said Mr..
NARROW. In addition to the smaller
amounts we expect to raise said Mr..
NARROW, we need $4,000, and with
that amount, in addition to what we
now have, we think the state fair will
be a pronounced success
Mr.. scaIion's Promise.
1--WE are very much interested in
the success of the state fair said Mr.
Scallon, and we will contribute the
amount you ask for. A successful
| state fair will be of icalculable benefit
to the mining interests of Montana
1t will enableour miners to become
familiar with the products of tht
farms of our state and induce many
of them to buy small farms and move
their families to the valleys of the
state, and when they become farmer!
they become good citizens and neve,
anarchists. We are in hearty sym
pathy with the state fair"
