piled that there had not yet been an an nouncement. All things in connection with the various sites in view are un- der consideration-such as title. street car conveniences and the good of the public. The committee desires to make no choice which it might afterward have cause to regret.
 All the members of the association realizing the importance of the fair to the territory are desirous of making the first one one of great magnitude in as much sa it may be made one of the chief factors toC the advancement of the territory. 4 plan is now on foot to make the 'air talked about all over the United States during the week it is ir progress.
 Hundi tas of eastern horses and hO: sem5n spend winters in California. 1 There is every reason to believe that a majority of them may be brought to this ter -ilory once they are informed of the climatic advantages which he Salt ltiyar valley affords.
 It is. the intention to hold the fair the latter part of November after the close of the trotting and pacing races at Los Angeles. Those races will at tlact some of the best horses of the
 
 II IoL5be to the coast for the winter any htw. It is believed that if purses sufficient to justify were hung up here all the horses which will be at Los Angeles ccuiu be brought here Tht. purses for the Los Angeles meeting will amount to from S120O0 to $15, ,00O The fair association will be able to put up stakes to the amount of 5000 or $S.000 and it has been suggested that the citizens of Phoenix guarantee a simi- lar amount so that altogether there may be raised for the attraction of the kings and queens of the turf a sum equal to S12,O0O or $16,OOO.
 This IS the way this thing is done in Los Angeles and Albuquerque and both of those cities have profited inn mensely thereby.
 There is little doubt that the attend ance of Lou Dillon, Sweet Marie and ether equally famous horses mary be secured. It is believed that if the horsemen could only be brought to see tile superiority of this climate over tliat Of he coast if they could see the aGIi able stable arrangements which woe | be afforded them by the asso- cia n most of them would remain for tn wi ter.
 If such horses as might be secured by tn. I.Ian above outlined were talk ing part in the races during the fair week the name of Phoenix would be in every bIg daily paper in the United States every morning that week. That would be an advertisement of incalcu- able benefit to the territory. Nothing could more impress upon the customer and northener the climatic advantage of this valley than the daily stories of the big races here when the rest of the country Is frozen up.

The Helena Record, which has
shown a gratifying interest in all that
relates to the prosperity of Lewis
town, contains the following apprecia-
tive editorial: Soon there will be
built from Lewistown to Kendall, in
Fergus county, an electric line at a
cost of two hundred thousand dollars.
The money for the enterprise is avail
able; the people of the capital of the
county will vote on the matter of a
franchise on April 3; unquestionalby
the application of the promoters will
be granted. The new line will serve
remarkably resourceful region. The
| famous mines at Kendall will be at
| forded facilities in the way of trans
portation that will relieve them of the
heavy expense under which they now
labor in moving ore and freight by
wagon and team. Passenger travel
too, will be a source of revenue for
the new company. In many ways
| Lewistown will be benefited by the
ways, also, will the sections which
it reaches profit by it's coming. II
will be another step III the steady
march forward that Fergus county has
been making during the last few

WILL SEE THE WEST.

From many sources comes the as
surance that thousands of people will
visit the far west the coming sum
mer, attracted by the Lewis and Clarke
Exposition at Portland and the won
ders of the Yellowstone National
Park. All railroads in the west or
having western connections are pre-.
pairing for heavy business. The Nor
thern Pacific will run three trains dali
ly each way on it's line and the Great
Northern is likely to have the same
service.
People of the east desiring to locate
in the west will take advantage of the
low railroad rates offered and many
homeseekers are likely to visit Mon
tana before fall.
We understand an effort will be
made at Helena to get travellers to
stop off there and learn of the resour-
ces of the state. Something of this
kind should be done. For years peo-
pie have gone right through to the
coast, little dreaming that better op-
portunities were offered right here
in Montana to secure home and get
a start in life than in the coast states.
If this tendency could be checked
through some effective method of call
ing attention to our resources and IN
dustries Montana would soon show a
gain in the population to which it is
entitled and witness a more rapid de-
velopment in all directions.

Our esteemed local Democratic con-

appointment on the feaeral Worlds

closed up and the life of the commits.
sion brought to a close in few
months. The brevity of his tenure Of
office will doubtless please Mr.. Waite,
as he has large business interests
that will require his attention. 1t is
not likely that he has ambition for
any position that would take him away
from Montana or require much of his
time at present. What the future has
in store for Mr. Waite IN a political
way remains to be seen. He is man
of good executive ability, and there
is none more popular in the state. 1t
is not likely Mr.. Waite has any kick
coming against Mr.. Carter or the ma

PRIMARIES FOR SENATORS.

For many years it has been the reg
ular thing for each house of represent
tatives at Washington to pass reso-
luton calling for constitutional
amendment for the popular election
of senators. Quite as regularly the
senate has ignored the resolution. Al.
so the senate has ignored the many
resolutions from state legislatures re-
questing this same reform. The time
when the demand of two-thirds of the
states will force the senate to act
seems still so far away that the sen.
ate is not worried.
Meantime the popular demand for
reform in the national house of vest
ed interests is growing, not only in ex.
tent but in intensity. What is more
the people are finding way to &C.
complish their end even before the
constitution is changed. Wisconsin
hereafter will choose it's senators by
primary vote, leaving to the legisla-
ture only such perfunctory power
of ratification and formal election as
the presidential electoral college now
possesses. Illinois hopes to achieve
the same end in the pending pri
mary bill. Michigan is aroused in ia
vor of senatorial primaries, and Gov
ernor Cummins of Iowa has announced
that he will use all his energies tt
introducing the system in his state
In these four states the strength
of the movement for direct senatorial
primaries lies in the desire to make
the senators directly amenable to pub
lie opinion, so that they will no long
er resist brazenly the popular will
In the south, from somewhat differen
reasons, the primary system is mucl
farther advanced than in this region
and the results there augur well TO
the results here in the future.

Speaker Hedges was in town last
week and received the congratula-
tons of his many friends over his
stewardship in the legislature recent
ly adjourned. Mr.. Hedges filled the
trying position of speaker in most
creditable and satisfactory manner, as
the elegant gold watch which he car
ries and which was presented to him
by members of the house, bears testi-
mony Only once during the session
was there an appeal from his decis-
ion and then he was sustained by the
house. Considering the complex ques-
tons before the legislature for consid-
Grafton and decision he thinks that a
great deal was accomplished for the
state and that the Republicans kept
their promises in the enactment of
the reform measures SO far as it was
in their power SO to do.

STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN TICKET.

At the Republican mass meeting
held last Friday night it was resolv-
ed to go into the municipal election
on straight party lines. There seem
ed to be no other alternative.
There has existed strong senti-
ment among Republicans in favor of
naming citizens ticket, with the
very laudable purpose of endorsing
the present city administration for
the good work it has done in promot-
ing the material and moral welfare
of the municipality, and there was
reason to hope that this could he
brought about on terms satisfactory
to both parties. But up to the hour
Of meeting no definite arrangement
had been made nor were the prospects
good for getting together.
This being the case, no other course
was left open to the Republicans but
to go ahead and nominate a straight
ticket, composed of good citizens, men
who will take no backward step from
the policy which has already been in.
augurated.
We believe a ticket will be named
which will command the support OF
the great majority of the voters Of
Lewistown, because they will know
Just what the men who compose il

The trade of this country with Asia
is getting to be something enormous.
A statement recently published in
Washington shows that our exports
for seven months to Asia have in
creased almost 100 per cent, whereas
the exports to Europe have fallen OFF
for the same time about 100000, 900.
But for this increase of exports to
Asia our international trade the world
over would for the seven fiscal months
ended Feb. l have been 100000
less than like trade for the year

with Japan. J. ]. Hill says that with
in ten years our trade with Japan
ought to surpass our trade with Cana

Asia, Africa and the Philippines, it
ought within ten years to approximate
$500, 100000 year. We exported to
Japan little in excess of $4,000. 900
in the seven month of the fiscal year.
not quite double our exports for like
period of the previous year. The
Washington figures show an amazing

is nearly 400 per cent greater than
was the case for the seven months

Now comes the announcement that
the headquarters of the government
irrigation enterprises in the north
west will be removed from Denver to
Billings. The necessities of the sit

change, as Billings will soon be the
center of several large irrigation en-
terprises, which are to be pushed to
completion in the near future. On
the Grow reservation, in the basin of
the Big Horn, and in the Yellowstone
valley, bitches are to be taken out and
it is estimated that fully ten millions
of dollars will be expended by the
government in eastern Montana and
western Wyoming. The distribution
of this amount of money from the
eastern metropolis of Montana will
be of far-reaching benefit.
