THE CREAMERY
ASSOCIATION
Meeting Of Stockholders to be Held To-
morrow Afternoon to Consider
Plans for Future.
THE EXPENSE OF REBUILDING
Mr.. Newell Says the Plant Can be Re-
stored for the Amount Of the In
suranee Money Alone.

Whether or not the Lewistown
creamery will be rebuilt is question
that will be settled at the meeting Of
the stockholders to be held at
o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Of
flee of Hilger & Busenburg. The men,
bers of the association hold various
views in regard to the matter, and
no predictions can be made as to the
final outcome until those interested
have had an opportunity to consult
and exchange views regarding it. Ev-
en- David Hilger, the president of the
association, does not care to say any
thing regarding it until after the meet
ing.
Loss Of Association.
The creamery plant cost the assO-
citation, all told, something like &c.
900, and the amount that will be re-
ceived from insurance is just half that
sum. Mr.. Hilger says that by adding
another 1000 to the insurance money,
the plant could be rebuilt, and be at
least as good as the old one. The
| stockholders went into this venture
for the primary purpose of getting the
creamery established, and the citizens
| who subscribed for stock were moved
to such action through public spirit.
II was thought that after a time, per-
haps, the industry would become so
thoroughly established that it might
return the stockholders something on
the investment, yet this was not look
ed upon as a probability for a long
time. Mr.. c. p. Newell took the plant
for year rent free, and naturally en-
countered many difficulties in getting
the enterprise in good shape. He had
just succeeded in accomplishing this
when the plant was destroyed, and
says that but for this misfortune, the
creamery would have been upon a
paying basis next year.
What Mr.. Newell Says.
When informed of Mr.. Hilger's be-
lief that the addition of 81 900 to the
insurance money would rebuild the
plant, Mr.. Newell stated this morning
that the estimate was too large. When
the plant was built there was no prac-
ticable creamery man to arrange for
it on behalf of the association, and con-
siderable unnecessary expense was in.
Cured. Mr. Newell says that plant,
equal in all respects to the old one,
can be put in for the amount of the
insurance alone-$3,O0O. So confident
is he of this that he expresses his will
ingness to put it through for that
amount of money if the association
will provide the site. Mr.. Newell says
that an establishment costing $4,000
will meet every requirement.
May Resume Anyhow.
While it is not certain, Mr. Newell
may resume operations even though
the association does not see fit to re.
build. He has devoted some months
to solving the problems that confront.
ed him when he took charge of the
plant, such as planning for the milk
supply, and opening the market to the
product of the establishment. All
these factors SO important to the sue
cess of the venture had been adjusted
: satisfactorily, so that Mr.. Newell doe'
not think this is the time to quit.

Senator Burton Scores Point.

st. louis, Oct. 19.-Judge Vande-
vanter, in the United States court of
appeals, late today announced that
he had sustained the demurrer to the
indictment of United States Senator
Burton on the ground that the indict.

other indictment be returned at once.
Judge Vandevanter coincided with the

Will be Argued In the Supreme Court
January 2.

January 2.
Washington, Oct. 18.-The argu-
ment of the timber cutting case of
Senator Clark of Montana was set for
Jan. 2 next by the supreme court OF
the United States.
This is the case in which the gov.
eminent has appealed from the decis
ion of the circuit court of appeals
which in a divided opinion affirmed
the ruling of Judge Knowles in hold
ing that the Montana senator was the
innocent purchaser of timber lands
in the western part of the state and
therefore his title to the lands can
not be set aside. The case has at
tracted no little attention because oi
the prominence of the man the gov

timber lands illegally. The evidences
in this case makes several volume.

records received by the supreme cour

TEN DEGREES
BELOW ZERO
Mercury Fell to That Point at Many
Places in the Judith Basin Dur
ing the Recent Storm.
IS SEVERE OCTOBER WEATHER
Nothing Like II Experienced in Sever
al Years-Potato Crop Damaged
Ranges Greatly Benefited.

The snow storm this week was gen.
eral all over Fergus county, and from
reports received was considerably
heavier in some localities than here,
where the total snowfall was five inch
es. The weather accompanying this
storm was the most severe experienced
in many seasons at this time of the
year. and put stop to building and
other out door operations. 1t really
commenced last Monday night. but
there was not much snow until Tues,
day night.
Ten Below Zero.
On Monday the maximum tempera-
ture was As and the minimum 81. Tues
day night the mercury commenced to
drop, the maximum being 35 and the
minimum 16, while three inches OF
snow fell. A high wind prevailed
Tuesday night, and in some localities
it was much COLDER than here, the
storm taking the form Of mild bliz-
zard. On Wednesday the cold became
intense the thermometer registering a
maximum of % and a minimum of 1
above zero. Early Thursday morning
the government registered 4 degrees
below zero, and nearly all the ther.
mometers around town, in exposed
places, stood at 10 below.
Weather Clears.
The weather then cleared, and yes
terday the mercury went back to Al
the sun coming out and making such
change that carpenters resumed work
OH the various buildings in the after
noon. The contractors say that ex
cept for the loss of few days work
the storm and the accompanying ex
treme cold weather will not affect
their operations.
Potato Crop Lost.
Several merchants have received re
| ports from various sections of tht
county. stating that the potato crop
which was almost entirely in thu
ground when the storm came on, |!
badly damaged. The ground froze s,
hard that the snow did not protect thu
potatoes, and they. too, were frozen
Some of the tubers had been harvest
ed before the storm came, and the!
will represent the sum total of th'
Fergus potato crop this season.
Good for the Ranges.
The loss in this direction, however
is trifling as compared with the i'm
mense benefit done the ranges by thi
storm. They were very dry all owe
the Judith basin, and the situation wa
rapidly becoming a serious one for tn
stock growers, when the storm reliev
ed it.
The snowfall is a great thing, toe
for the winter wheat, and the farm
ers whose broad acres are sown t
that grain are feeling very cheerful
Corned Stone Laying Delayed.
One result Of the storm will be to dc
lay the laying of the corner stone O

DIRECTORS OF
FAIR MEET
O. W. BELDEN INSTRUCTED TO
ATTEND MEETING OF SEC.
RETARIES At HELENA.

The directors of the Fergus County
fair association held meeting yester-
day, and decided that they would have
a real fair next year If it took the last
shot in the locker to bring about the
result. The recent county fair was
most successful one so far as the ex-
hibits were concerned and most sue
cessful failure so far as relates to the
races and general attractions for the
public. It is we'll understood that the
directors did the very best they could
under the conditions they were compe
led to meet. With two other fairs in
progress at about the same time. it
was found that the horsemen did not
care to make the long trip to Lewis
town when they could enter their
stables without making any extended
journey. The same thing was true
of the general fair attractions. Con-
| flicting dates resulted in Fergus get
| ting shut out, so far as really merit
oriOus attractions were concerned, but
this will all be changed next year. A
meeting of the secretaries of the vari-
GUS county fair associations of the
state is to be held at Helena in De-
cember, and the Fergus association
decided that Secretary o. w. Belden
should attend it.
| Purpose Of the Meeting.
The specific purpose Of the Helena
meeting is to divide the state into two
fair circuits, and arrange the dates for
the fairs in each circuit, so that there
will be no conflict between them. An
other feature will be an arrangement
whereby the best of the attractions
will play right through the circuit, and
in this way each fair will get the cream
of all these features. Such an arrange
ment will not only make all the fairs
vastly more attractive then hereto
fore, but will enable the different
counties to secure the best to be had
. at much less expense than would 9th
erwise be possible.
As to Racing.
The organization of a circuit will
! provide such racing as will appeal tc
, all followers of the turf. and the bes1
) horses in the state will take part ir
each meeting. 1t is realized that how
> ever creditable the exhibits may be
much of the success of the fair de
!, pends upon the quality of the racing
and the plan proposed will make it Ger
l tain that it will. in future be of th'
( highest.
