Will EXHIBIT
AT STATE FAIR

N. J. Littlejohn has been appointed
by the county commissioners to col.
lect creditable display of grains
grasses, vegetables, minerals and 9TH
er articles for Fergus county exhibit
at the Montana State Fair which will
be held in Helena the first days OF Oc-
tober.
With his customary energy, Mr.. Lit
tlejohn has started to work getting to-
gether the necessary material for the
exhibit and those who know him are
confident that he will arrange an ex-
hibit at the state fair grounds which
will be second to none there.
Circular letters will be sent out this
week to several hundred ranchers
throughout the county requesting
that they save the best samples of
grain, grass and vegetables and eth
er deliver them to Moore or Lewis
town or inform Mr.. Lttlejohn of
their inability to make delivery, in
which case. he will go after the sam.
pies.
Mr.. Littlejohn especially requests
all to whom circular letters are sent
to send in the postal which he also
sends them, to him as soon as possible
in order that he can get line on the
material which he can depend on. Ii
grain is to be furnished in the sheaf
not less than an entire bundle should
be sent in; and if it is to be furnished
after 1t is threshed, there should be at
least peck of such sample.
II is the belief of the commissioners
as we'll as of Mr.. Littlejohn, that an
exhibit can be sent to Helena from
Fergus county which will be a strong
contender for first place honors. With
in space of two or three years. Fer
gus county has become one of the
three or four leading agricultural
counties of the entire state. Within
another year it will probably lead all
counties in the production Of wheat
and oats. There is no place where our
agricultural progress can be advertise

highly successful There was "some-

Hilger informs the Democrat that the
chief topic of conversation whenever
a few delegates got together and We're
able to talk. was of the wonderful
Bryan boom which is sweeping over
the country. People from the eastern

Hardware Company Contemplating
Line Between Here and Kendall.

The Fergus County Hardware COM
pany have about consummated plans
FOR establishing fast freight and ex-
press route for their own exclusive
use between Lewistown and Kendall.
The business transacted by the Ken
dali branch of the Fergus County
Hardware store has reached such pro-
portions that. in order to have con-
stantly on hand sufficient stock to
satisfy the demand Of the trade It
VIII be necessary either to erect q
Warehouse In the camp or arrange to
get their goods over from the Lewis
town store more rapidly.
There has been a scarcity of freight
ers IN the country, especially since the
WOOL season opened and the company
found 1t impossible to get their goods
Over as rapidly as the trade demand
ed. For that reason, it is the inten-
tlon to put on a fast freight team
which shall do nothing but haul sup
plies from Lewistown to the Kendall
store Of the Fergus County Hardware
company.

WOOLBUYfRS NOT
STRONG ENOUGH
Power Mercantile Team Takes East
erners Into Camp in One of Best
Games Of the Year.

One of the best games of ball Of tha
season was that played Sunday after
noon by and between the woolbuyers
and the Power Mercantile Co.. AL
though the score was somewhat one
sided, the game was contest through
out and abounded in fine plays and
rotten decisions by the umpire. In
fact, had the umpire done the square
thing, the score might have been diff
terent, at any rate, so AYERS Captain
and Manager O'Brien of the WOOL
buyers.
Power took the bat first and scored
couple of runs, Stressenger not hay-
ing worked out sufficiently. The vic
tors accomplished their scoring by
means of some free arm hitting, es-
pecially by Tom Butler a few errors
by the woolies and some raw decisions
by the umpire.
The woolies experienced difficulty in
a.ett!ng a man across the pan. Paul
tsatEbun had their heavy hitters on
his staff and the players behind him
gave him gilt edge support, Billy Krep-
I'm, who played short, Symmes, the
fist sacker and Butler at second be-
ing especially effective and eating UP
everything that came their way
Stressenger had not pitched a game
for five or ten years and the lack of
practice told on him after four in
nings. He had nice speed, a fine out
and fairly good spit ball but they
weren't working to his satisfaction
and he gave away to Frank Carlton
who was at his best. The Power boys
could do but little with the south paw,
q large number of them striking out
Although he was absent from the
the game, Jack Patterson, dean of the
Woolbuying corps in this city, did vail
ent service from the bench Captain
O'Brien was Johnny-on-the-sp both
while he was in the game and after he
had retired to the side line to coach
his players. Tom Lochray did nicely
at second after the first two or three
innings and Gage at short showed a |
more than passing familiarity with
the great national sport
A large crowd witnessed the contest |
and unselfishly cheered every good
play and consistently heaped maledic-
tions upon the head of the umpire ev-
cry time he made decision.

OF the Fergus County Clip Has Been Cleaned Up Prices Which
Average Twenty Cents.
PRESENT SEASON is EXPECTED TO CLOSE THIS Week
has Not Been Exceptionally Satisfactory the Growers ALTHOUGH Buyers
Maintain That They Are Paying All That Eastern Market Con-
diti0ns Warrant.

The local wool market has been live
ly during the past week so far as buy
ing is concerned, although the prices
have not been whot the growers would
desire. Since last Tuesday, approxi-
mately one million pounds of wool
has been auctioned off at the ware
house, making the total amount sold
here UP to date about one and. half
million pounds. This, together with
the three-quarters of a million pounds
which was contracted to Putnum ear
ly in the year, makes grand total of
over two million pounds of Fergus
county wool disposed Of in Lewistown.
Billings and Great Falls have each re-
ceived considerable of the Fergus
county clip, estimated at between four
and five million pounds, has been TAX
en- over to eastern buyers.
The market in Lewistown has been
as good or even a little better than
any other market in the state. Large
quantities of wool has been sold both
in Billings and Great Falls but the,
prices have ranged slightly lower than
on the Lewistown market.
There will be no sales today, about
all of the wool in the warehouse hav-
ing been disposed oe. The baling crew
is working hard to get the wool out of
the way and it is taxing the capacity
of the Montana railroad to move the
wool as rapidly as it is being baled out.

Tuesday:
