AN IMPORTANT BILL.

In the legislative proceedings will
be found the bill prepared by Judge
Cheadle to relieve the financial stu
alton in the Lewistown school district.
The bill passed the house last Friday
and will undoubtedly get favorable
consideration in the senate early this
week and receive the signature of the
governor.
1t will be seen that the amendment
only applies to Indebtedness incurred
in school districts prior 20 the passage
of the act and does not contemplate a
resort to bonding to relieve siuailar
conditions in the future. The debt OF
the Lewistown district amounts to
about $4,000 and there is no way to
raise the money through taxation as
the maximum levy has been reached
Under this amendment the district
will be enabled to bond the old indebt
edness and there will be sufficient
money from taxes to meet the current
expenses of the schools. Every gOoC
citizen would have deplored any in
terruption of our schools and through
the efforts of Judge Cheadle and Rep
resentative Wiedeman this will bt
! aVerted.

become even more so should the bill
now pending in the legislature pass.
1t is the duty of this officer, among
other things. to protect children from
i'll treatment, to see that the law pro-
hibiting child labor is enforced, and
to find homes for abandoned infants.
The number of cases developed in
Montana under each of these heads
during the past year was astonishing,
and the nature of the duties devolv-
ing upon the executive officer of the
bureau require that he should be in
full sympathy with his work. Waller
Shobe, of Helena, who has just been
appointed to the position by Gov.
TOole, is believed to possess all Of
the qualifications needed, and the Sc
lection is one that will give general
satisfaction. He was strongly endors-
ed for the position by the State HUI
name society at it's annual meeting,
and will bring to the work begun by
Otto Shoenfeld, the retiring secretary,
degree of enthusiasm and intelli-
gence that should make his admins
tration a most successful one.

FERGUS COUNTY ARGUS

ed efforts in opposition to the pass
age of the river and harbor bill at
the close of the fifty-sixth congress
will ever be remembered in the an
nails of our political history, and it
is an undoubted fact that the defeat
of this extravagant measure was due
to him. 1t is unnecessary to recapit-
ulate the forceful and cogent argu-
ments which he brought to bear, for
the same are matter of record and
are duly exploited in the public press
of the nation, gaining to him the en-
dOrsement of great majority of the
people of the country, irrespective of
political affiliations, and stamping him
as one of the jealous advocates of a
true economy in the administration
of public affairs. The contest was a
notable one and Senator Carter scor-
ed, without fear or favor, measure
that was fOstered by a corporate
greed that represented an unwise ex-
penditure of public funds. His term
expired in the senate on March 4,
1901, but not yet was he permitted to
return to the quiet duties of private life
for in that year President Mckinley
on his own motion appointed him COM
missioner of the St. Louis exposition,
and upon assembling of the board of
commissioners he was chosen presi.
dent and gave his attention to the
duties involved.
In 1886 Mr.. Carter was married TO
Miss Ellen L. Galen, the daughter Of
Hugh and Matilda Galen. Mrs. Car
ter is possessed of musical and lit
erary talent and is social favorite.
OF this union two sons have been
born, John G., born in January, 1891,

Mr.. Carter came to Helena in 1882
and has since resided here except
when his public duties called him
elsewhere. He became associated
with John B. Clayberg in the prac-
tice of the law and subsequently N.
w. Mcconnell joined the firm, which
soon became known as one of the
leading law firms in Montana.
Mr.. Carter was nominated dele

party against w. A. Clark and de-

able campaign, receiving majority
of 5,126 votes. He was also elected
the first representative of the state
in congress.
His force and ability won him in
slant recognition in congress. He was
again nominated in 1890 against his
wishes. His duties on the congress
sional committee detained him in
Washington until nearly the close of
the campaign and he was defeated
by w. w. Dixon by less than 300
votes.
When his term In congress expired
President Harrison appointed him
commissioner of the general land Of
fee, a position he filled with ability
until July /, 1892, when he resigned
to become the chairman of the Re-
publican national committee.
In 1895 he was urged by his admir-.
ers as candidate for the senate of
the United States. The ensuing cam
paign was spirited one and political
enthusiasm ran high in Montana, but
the result was favorable to Mr.. Car
ter, the honor accorded him being a
fitting crown to his brilliant career
as representative of the interests
of his state. In the senate Mr.. Car

NEED OF ORGANIZATION.

Hon. B. C. White returned from

While the gathering was fair it was
not large. 1t did not compare favor
ably in numbers and enthusiasm with

same week.
Mr.. White regets this apparent in
ertia on the part of woolgrowers when
there are vital questions bearing en-
the industry up for consideration. The
transportation and market and range
should be of sufficient concern to call
for the strongest local and state or

At the meeting of the Lewistown
Creamery association held last Satur-
day a board of directors consisting of
nine members was elected to serve
during the ensuing year. Preliminary
steps were taken toward the starting
of this new enterprise and it is the
desire and expectation that the cream
cry will be producing butter some time
in March, though there may be unfor-
seen delays. The board of directors
exercised good judgment in making
David Hilger president of the associa-
ton. He will do all he can to pro-
mote its interests. A meeting of the
directors will be held next Saturday,
when definite plans will be formulat-
ed for operating the plant. There are
two propositions to be considered, one
for leasing the creamery to a respon-
sible and capable party and another
for operating it under the control and
management of the directors of the
association, after securing the services
of an expert butter maker. Both plans
have favorable features, but it is a
matter that should receive the most
careful consideration before definite
action is taken. 1t may be that the
directors and the ranchers could work
together more tremendously, both hav.
ing a common interest in the success
Of the enterprise. The directors would
be more inclined to pursue liberal
policy toward customers than would
a lessee and there would be less
chance of friction. Yet, on the other
hand, the enterprise must be made
to pay or it will prove of no value tt
anyone. But this is a matter for the
directors to determine after confer
ence and in the light of all informa
ton obtainable bearing on the best
method to adopt to make the scheme
success. The full attendance at the
stockholders meeting and the inter
! est manifested by our farmers, is {
most encouraging feature. They real
ize that it will soon be up to then
and it doesn't look as though the.
were going to be found wanting.

Death of ". W: Davis.

The following clipping wa.
handed us by neighbor last week
and is taken from a coast paper
at Coquella, Coos Bay. Wash.
but we do not know the date. Mr.
Davis, however, was formerly
resident of Sand creek, and wei
and favorably known in and around
St. Anthony:
ION last Sunday morning the
many friends of w. w. Davis were
pained to hear of his death. The
end came in the early morning
hours and released a soul from q
long suffering body. Mr.. Davis
was man of strict honor and in
tegrity. He was generous to a
fault aud overlooked his own
troubles i'll extending aid and
sympathy to others. He was a
loving husband and father and to
him his family was first in all
his thoughts.
"The deceased had long been a
sufferer fiom neuralgia of the heart
and the end was anticipated weeks
ago. At the time of his death Mr..
Davis was 56 years of age. During
their short residence with us this
family has been sorely afflicted.
Last winter the 10 year old son
was drowned, and the body never
recovered Shortly after the baby
of the family was taken suddenly
i'll and died and now the head of
the household is in his last resting
place.
Services were held at the Chris
tan church and Rev. J. S. Hand
saker paid many touching tributes
TO the deceased. The interment
took place in the Masonic cemetery.
