The Ju bilee Singers.

Last nights en- tertainment by the
Original Dixie Jubilee Singers can
most decidedly be classed as one of the
finest musical performances. 1t was
not a very long performance, but
every part of it was EN- joyable and
distinctly refined, not that this i'm
plies, as it usually does, dullness. On
the contrary, every part was bright.
J. S. Crabbe, the Basso, has a voice
of marvellous power and wonderfully
pure. While singing that grand old
melody "Oid Black Joe' the sympa-
thetic manner in which he rendered it
made many present forget that they
were only listening to song, G. L
Johnson, the Tenor has very sweet
voice, not so powerful as to spoil the
melody, yet strong enough to reach
with perfect clearness every portion
of the house.
Mrs. Williams has a powerful con-
tralto voice.
c. P. Williams was the funny man
OF the company but though rich IN
laughter, at no time was his fun
offensive.
In the part songs the company was
| really at it's best. The quartette how
ever was even better. 1t was pure
melody. and that of the finest descrip-
tion-the human voice. 1t must have
reminded. those present of the Min
strels Parisienne, the Moore & Bur
CESS, Mohaw and Christy Minstrels
and of the Fisk Jubilee Singers-they
certainly were as good as the best of
them. Although the company are
dark in color, their singing and lam
guage is equal to any white company.

CHAS. {. HOGUE DIES
In CALIFORNIA
Buried in Hamilton on Sunday
Last--Leaves a Wife, Five
Children and a Host Of
Friends to Mourn
His Death.

Another of the old tuners of the
Bitter Root valley has gone to his last
reward. This time it is Charles E..
Hogue. Mr.. Hogue left some two
months ago to visit with his son
Walter, at Los Angeles, Cal, where
he hoped to regain his health, and
died at that place on the 10Th of this
month of cancer of the stomach, and
the body was shipped to Hamilton, ar
irving here on Saturday evening The
remains were accompanied to this city
by Mrs. Hogue and their son Walter
L. Hogue. The funeral was held from
the family residence in the Riverview
addition on Sunday at 2 O'Clock and
interment was made in the Riverview
cemetery. Rev. Thomas H. Barker
preached the funeral service at the
residence and at the grave.
Charles E. Hogue was born on July
21st, 1880, at Maysville, Kentucky,
and at the age of five years moved to
Marshall, Illinois, with his parents
and at the age of Is was married to
Miss Mary J. Hollenbeck at Marshall.
They then moved to Kansas where
they lived for several years and later
lived in Colorado, Utah and Idaho.
About fourteen years ago he took up
his residence in the Bitter Root valley
and lived here until the time he left
for California. He was one of the
substantial citizens of Ravalli county
and his taking away will be keenly
felt by all who knew him.
The deceased leaves besides his wife
five children to mourn his loss, The
children are, Walter L. Hogue of Los
Angeles, Cal, Clarence and Harry of
Hamilton, Mrs. F. E. Robbins and
Mrs. Earl Robbins of Hamilton. He
also leaves two brothers who live at
Marshall, Ill.,, and relatives in Cincin-
natti, Ohio.

designed to provide relief for the pub
lie schools. Under the present law
the Hamilton school district cannot
vote sufficient funds to carry on a full
term of school nor provide for the
comfort of the children while at school.
In addition to this Senator Romney
has directed attention to the import
ance of our rapidly growing fruit in
dustry by having a committee on
horticulture added to the standing
committees of the senate.
Former Governor White, chairman
OF the senate judiciary committee to
which the Romney bill creating the
Fourteenth judicial district and Chair
man Scallon of the House judiciary
committee, to which Marshall's bill
providing for an additional Judge of
the Fourth district was referred, have
arranged for JOINT meeting to con-
slider both bills and give both sides
hearing. The meeting will be held
Tuesday at Helena. The Ravalli bar
association will probably be repre-
sented by committee consisting of
Attorneys Baker, Baggs, Myers and
McCulloch.
1t is generally conceded in Helena
that relief must be provided for the
congested condition of affairs in the
Fourth district and since the cost of
an additional iudue or new district

PER=CAPITA WEALTH OF MONTANA
Greater Than California Though Class
flied as LeSSa-Past Six Years
the Most Prosperous.

Notwithstanding the fact that a
statement has recently been sent out
by the bureau of census, and which
has been very widely quoted, to the
effect that California is the wealthiest
state in the union--its per capita
wealth being placed at $2,6OO-the
statement is greatly at variance with
the facts, for study of the figures
shows that Montana is by long odds
entitled to that distinction; the per
capita wealth of this state is 3,071,
AS the per capita wealth of the entire
United States is 81 400, Montanians
are more than twice as we'll off as the
average citizen of the country.
The statement sent out by the gov
and 1904, and it shows that in that
period the wealth of Montana increas-
ed from $613, ,879, 157 TO $746, 6,311 ,213, or
a fraction of a little more than q per
cent. The wealth of the state IN gen
era1 did not increase as much as some
of the other states, nevertheless, its re-
markable per capita increase places it
as the wealthiest state in the union
per capita.
The past six years have been the
most prosperous in the history of
Montana. We gained more in six
years than we did in the previous ten
years. And yet the resources OF Mon
tana are scarcely more than scraped
over. With the completion of the gov
ernment irrigation system, the finish
ing of the railroads which are now
building, the ending of the copper
war and the systematic cultivation of
the sugar beet, together with the cattle
and sheep industry, it can very safely
be said that instead of an increase of
$40 each, the residents of this state
will, within the coming few years, be
the possessors of an increase OF
wealth amounting to several hundred
dollars.

HA MILTON TEAM GOES TO BUTTE
Arrangements Are About Completed
to That Effect Hamilton Takes
the Affirmative.

Arrangements have been nearly
completed for the debate TO be held
by the Hamilton and Butte high
schools and the event will probably be
held on the 22nd of February in Butte.
The question of where the debate was
to be held has been the sui ject of
much correspondence in the past few
days, but satisfactory agreement has
been entered into and Hamilton is to
go to Butte, with the privilege of
choosing the side they are to take in
the debate. The Hamilton team will
take the affirmative.
The judges will be selected as fol-
lows: Each team to select tiye names
AID exchange these five names from
hich two judges shall be selected;
provided, that the name of no person
living either in Ravalli or Silver Bow
counties be submitted.
The question to be debated is, RE
solved, that the railroads of the United
States should be owned and operated
by the federal government.
1t has not been decided whether the
debate will take place in the assembly
room of the high school or in an opera
house, but will probably be held in the
latter, as Prof. Owens is very much
opposed to the former place.

Helena, Jan. 2S.-With the elimina-
tion of the senatorial contest and the
celebration that followed, the tenth
Legislative assembly last week got
right down to business.
Congralulation is rife that a enator
was chosen so quickly-although it
may be remarked in passing that the
Dixon men won out in the primaries
months ago and the proceedings were
merely ratified by majority of the
voters on November 6, Mr.. Dixon,
accompanied by his family is now in
Washington. He will enter the senate
on March under most favorable aus
tration, and the powers that be in
Montana and close to Teddy. the peo-
pie of this state expect him to 'make
good" Mr.. Dixon was born in North
Carolina 40 years ago next July. He
married Miss Worden, daughter of the
late Frank Worden of Missoula. They
have an interesting family. Mr..
Dixon is a lawyer by profession and a
good one.
This morning 131 bills had been
introduced in the huuse and Al in the
senate. Very few freak bills have
hoated to the surface as yet. The big
republican majority processes to be
determined to make good its platform
promise of last fall. The assembly as
a whole is very representative body,
far above the average, and good bene-
fetal Legislation may be anticipated.

sistIng OF Senator Romney and Repre-
sentatives Miles and Beckwith, is
