THE SPECIAL SESSION.

According 70 reliable information
President Roosevelt will call congress
70 meet in extraordinary session on
November 10Th, 70 take up railway
rate legislation. II is said the presi-
dents decision 20 this effect is fixed
and final, although il was his first in
teuIion . call the session in October
In abandOuing the earlier date he
yieldsd 70 the wishes of the party
leaders who deemed il inadvisabie TO
Call the session prior 70 the Novem-
Der elections.
In making the concession a portion
of the Democratic press of the cOun-
try took il 10 mean that there would
be no extra session al all, and no
rate legislation. But the president is
in earnest and mistaken in his de-
termination to bring the question be-
fore congress. He realizes that it is
knotty problem, but believes that in
pressing the issue he is only comply
ing with the quite general demand
for some remedial legislation. Having
eXerted all his power congress must
do the rest.
While the president desires action
and results he believes that both the
people and the railroads should be
treated fairly. He is not committed
to the Esch- Townsend bill in its pres
ent form. 1t has its good features
and some that should and probably
will be amended if it becomes a law
He would not hamper or obstruct the
railroads in their operations, but con
tends that some power should be vest
ed in the government or its agents to
correct any injustice that may arise
in the fixing of rates.
In anticipating some action by con
gress the railroads, or their agents
are pointing out a few of the evils
that will follow any government inter

CEMENT CROSS WALKS.

Shall LewiStOwn have cement cross
walks, is a question which just now
is being considered by the mayor and
council?
From the testimony of those who,
as street commissioners, have had
charge of the laying and renewal of
cross walks in the city for some years
past. it appears that each walk plac-
ed at the principal crossings on Main
street costs the city about $40, and
that the planks are worn through so
frequently that the cost per year is
nearly, if not quite, $50 for each.
Now comes company, at present
engaged in laying walks in front Of
the business houses of Lewistown,
and offers to lay cross walks for the
city at the rate of $16O each, accept
ing payment in three warrants, one
for $50 due in December next, one
for $50 due in December, 1906 and
one for $50, due in December, 1907
without interest. And the company
further agrees to give the city a sure
ty bond. guaranteeing to keep the
walks in good condition for a period
of five years.
II the present quite unsatisfactory
cross walks are costing the city $50
each year-or even half that sum
and good cement walks, with a guar.
antee for five years, can be secured
for $3.50, payments deferred over
three years, it seems to the Argus a
very good plan for the city to have
cement walks laid.
Livingston, Bozeman and other cit
les have during the past few years,
acquired considerable experience in
this line and it might be we'll for the
city clerk of Lewistown to have a lit.

tiles of those cities OIL the subject;
and were competitive bids requested,
it is quite possible even better terms
might be secured than those offered
by the company now represented IN

AS we understand the proposal Of
the mayor, it is to lay these cement
walks at the crossings of First, Sec

avenues on Main street, twenty-four
crossings. which would involve an ex-
penditure of $3.50. Such an amount
would not be expended without first
making certain that the walks to be
laid will be satisfactory and that the

GETTING UNDER MOTION.

The executive committee of the
met in Helena last Saturday for the
purpose of taking the initiatory steps
in the movement to secure immigra-
ton for the state and thoroughly ao-
vertising and exploiting its resources
and advantages. Work was outlined
and plans suggested that should bring
results.
1t was the unanimous sense of the
committee that the several arilroads
operating in Montana should have an
immigration rate to the state and
this matter will be taken up by the
officers of the association and brought
10 the attention of the companies at
an early date. The necessity of hav-
ing the railroads grant Montana
homeseekers' rate was also discussed
and declared to be an imperative is.
sue. Just so, and the wonder is that
it has not been long since granted.
As matter of fact the railroads have
made precious little effort in the past
TO induce immigrants TO settle in this
state. A satisfactory rate to Mon
tana points will undoubtedly lead TO
a great influx OF homeseekers next
season.
The executive committee also deter
| mined upon the publication of The
Montana Homeseeker," monthly
| pamphlet, each issue OF which shall
| be devoted to some particular section
OF the state, the cost of the publication
| to be borne by the locality DESTROYS
of having its resources advertised to
the world. This pamphlet is TO be
spread broadcast throughout the east
ern and central states with the view
OF attracting hOmeseekers.
This scheme would undoubtedly
serve good purpose if there is prop
er organization in the various regions
| to meet the expense and some one
authorized to look after and prepare
the matter for publication. Public in
terest must be aroused to accomplish
this end.
The different organizations of the
state will be invited to become a
member OF the state league and the
per capita.

There is no case of indigestion, dy-

not yield to the digestive and strength
ening influence of Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure. This remedy takes the strain
of the stomach by digesting what you
eat and allowing it to rest until 1t
grows strong again. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure affords quick and permanent re-
lief from indigestion and all stomach
troubles, builds up the system and so
purifies that disease cannot attack

THE COMING FAIR.

The people of Fergus county should
bear in mind the dates chosen for the
next annual fair-September 81, %
and %. The initial steps have been
taken to make the exhibition superior
in every particular to any held in the
past.
Negotiations have already been
started to secure attractive amusement
features, and the management will
make every effort to get up a race
program that will prove exciting to all
lovers of that sport.
While the association will spare no
pains to amuse those attending the
fair, 1t is not it's chief object. We
have in Fergus county wonderfully
productive region, capable of great
things, and it is for the purpose of
encouraging the development of our
resources and industries that annual
exhibitions are held.
If all who could would do little
in the matter of exhibits space would
be lacking for proper exhibition of
their products. Possibly the prem
iums are not sufficiently enticing for
the work and trouble incident to max
ing our exhibit But the association
is doing the best it can with the money
realized from the receipts. Fairs are
not money making projects and never
have been. More have failed and gone
out of existence than have succeeded.
There must be some measure of sac
rifice for the benefits that come indi-
rectly and in general way. AS the
county grows in population and the
attendance at the fairs becomes larg-
er, thereby increasing the receipts,
better premiums can be paid. At pres
ent it is struggle to make ends
meet and the association should have
the hearty assistance of everyone anX-
ious to see it placed on a permanent
and self-sustaining basis. There
should be from fifty to one hundred
more stockholders in the association
A fair start has been made in the
stock department. Some fine brood
mares, colts, stations, horses. sheep
and hogs were exhibited last year.
Keep up the good work until this fea-
ture OF the fair becomes what it
should be in this county. Now is the
time to improve dairy stock and the
association should offer special induce
ments in premiums to this end
This should be a banner year for
the fair. not only in the matter of ex-
hibits, but in the ability and DISPOSE
ton OF the people TO leave their work
for day or Two and devote the time
TO pleasure and recreation Give the
association all the encoura cement you
can.
