HIS HUNCH LIKE MANY
OTHERS, HAS GONE WRONG

Great Falls, Mont, May 13.-The
cad of the world, due this morning
according to the representations of
A. w. Stanton, a formerly wealthy
stockman, failed to arrive according
to schedule and as a result the pro-
phet and his handful of followers
are left penniless and stranded. Stan
ton recently received a revelation
that the last horn would be footed
and the world go to the everlasting
bow-wows on May 13. Acting on this
Inspiration he sold all his property,
worth thousands of dollars, for $3.50
and rented a nouse on a suburban
hill where with eight disciples he mas
been preparing himself for the trans
lation to heaven. For the last ten
days the devoted band has been al
most constantly at prayer. Stanton
is thoroughly in earnest in his belief,
but admits that he may nave become
mixed in his dates.

LA t0fNs
Norfolk, Va, May 13.zThe 300ua
anniversary of the handling d the first
permanent English colonists was eel
ebrated ON Jamestown island today
with patriotic exercises and address
ses, the speakers Including Hon. Jas.
United States, Governor Swanson of
Virginia and DIR. Thomas Nelson Page
Scores of boats were pressed into SER
vice to carry the thousands of visitors
from Norfolk and the exposition
grounds to the historic island.
The celebration of Jamestown day
will close tonight with a water carli-
val on Hampton Roads, watch prom
ises to be one of the most brilliant
spectacles of the exposition. All of
the warships have been ,bedecked with
myraids acknowledgements lights of
many colors, and in addition many
beautiful floats and decorated yachts
and steamers will take part in the
pageant.
Much rivalry has developed among
the crews of the different warships in
preparing the floats and electrical dis
plays and as a result the naval spec
tacle will undoubtedly be the most
beautiful ever witnessed anywhere.
The arrival of the jamestown day
finds the exposition practically com
plete, with the exception of some of
the state buildings and concessions.
The war path is yet in an incomplete.
state, several of the concessiolaries
having commenced construction work
since the exposition opened. A month
will probably elapse before all of the
features. are ready and the big fair
finished in all its departments.
Stories of the extortfon practiced
by the Norfolk hotels have been great
ly exaggerated, there having been few
complaints of the price charged for
accommodations, although many visi
tors have been v~ociferous in their OBJ
jections to the quality of service rem
dered. The opening Of the exposition
has found many of the new hotels to-
tally u~nprepared to care for their
guests in a proper manner, but. this
has now been remedied in great meas
ure. Considering that Norfolk has a
normal population of abou $4,000, it
is wonderful that so much has been
accomplished in the way of caring for
visitors.

WATER IN

from ArteSla News.
In addition to the many ~artesiar
wells being put down, there are two
canals being run from the PenascC
river near Hope east, one of which
comes within foul miles of town
These two canals will irrigate several
thousand acres of fine farming land
between here and Hope and together
with other canals, that will 10 doubt
be constructed, reclaim that rich til
liable tract that has beef regarded
heretofore as of little value.
The prospect of retaining. this
land has led to the taking up of all
vacant tracts and many settlers are
taking possession. Eventually we will
nave better means of communication
with Hope to the mutual benefit of
both towns.
A prominent citizen OF Hope as
sures us that there is an abundance
of water for all possible needs, all
that mas to be done is to provide pro-
per storing facilities.

refuse to recognize his right to a
