who has acted upon the Belasco and
Auditorium stages continually for the
past four years and more, has been
in i'll health recently and his resigna-
tion was rendered upon the advice Of
his physician, who told him that rest
was imperative. The formal resigna-
ton was rendered yesterday, and his
successor has not yet been selected.
Mr.. Scott was not in last weeks bill
at the Auditorium, and it w thought
that few weeks rest would restore
his. health. He became no better,
however, and finally decided that a
prolonged rest was necessary.
In point of service he is one of the
Oldest actors in the city, and he has
many friends in Los Angeles who will
regret his departure and hope for his
early restoration to health and early
return to a local stage.

URGES BALLOON FLEET
FOR COAST DEFENSE
Military Publication Thinks BaIdwn's
Success Will Result In Congress
Appropriating 100000 for
That Purpose

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-That the
successful flights of Baldwin's dirlgible
balloon may result in the building of an
influence congress in appropriating ST.
900, 900 for construction of the fleet is
indicated in an editorial in the issue of
Arms and the Man. The editorial says
in part:
Gen, James Allen, chief signal officer
of the army, announced a few days ago
that he would, at the coming session of
congress, ask for an appropriation of
81, 100000 for aerial work and the de-
velopment of signal corps plans in this
direction. Naturally the successful
which have been satisfactorily COM
pleted at Fort Myer in the last few
days. will have considerable effect In
gaining a favorable consideration of
Gen. Aliens proposed legislation.
with the exception possibly of the
needed increase In the infantry of the
army, no arm of the service deserves so
much attention and expansion now as
the signal corps. Under Gen. Allen and
the efficient and sterling officers serving
with him the United States signal corps
towers head and shoulders above any
similar arm of the other nations of the
world. We are years ahead of all other
countries in our development of the lines
of security and information, and it is
but proper that in the development OF
aerial work the signal corps shall be
given the munitions wherewith to place
themselves as far ahead of other armies
in this regard as they are in all others.
For whenever legislation has been fa-
vorable the signal corps has developed
it's resources and abilities far beyond
the point that was even hoped for"

CITIES OF WEST
TO COOPERATE
WILL LESSEN EXPENSE OF
SECURING CONVENTIONS
More Economical Method Suggested
for Determining Which City Shall
Get These Profitable Asgre-
cations from the East

John F. Dutton. president of the
Rocky Mountain Hotelmen's assocla-
ton of Denver, came to Los Angeles
Yesterday to secure the cooperation OF
western cities for the purpose OF regu-
lating intercity strife in securing east
ern conventions.
The cities usually selected for con-
yentions are Los Angeles. San Francis
co, Portland, Seattle, Spokane, SAT-
Lake, Denver and Ell Paso. The pre-
liminary efforts of each of these cities
to procure conventions cost thousands
of dollars annually, and 1t Is Mr.. Dut-
toms idea that an association, made up
of representative men from each or
the cities, should be formed, and that
1t will devolve on this organization to
determine which city shall have a par
ticular convention. After decision Is
made, all of the western cities shall IN
struct their delegates to this end.
almost every convention" said Mr..
Dutton, comes west every other year.
1t is nonsensical that western cities
should expend such vast amounts of
money and useless energy in trying to
influence the votes of delegates. All
western cities, I hope, when the assoct-
alton is formed shall abide by the inn
partial decision of that society and
bend all their energies toward win
ming convention for Los Angeles,
Denver or Spokane, WuICHSNSr II may
be, and trust to an impartial distribu-
ton Of favors.
Denver, for instance, spends be-
tween $500, 900 and 100000 year in it's
efforts to obtain conventions. 1t is
estimated that about $8,000,000 is ex-
pended in that city alone by those who
attend the conventions. Yet this pre-
liminary expense is, to great extent,
needless, and an association of this
character will do away with most
of it."
Mr.. Dutton will give dinner Mon
day night at the Alexandria in the in
terest of the association, to prominent
business men of Los Angeles. Among
the guests will be Walter Raymond of
Pasadena, proprietor of the Raymond
hotel, who is interested in the enter
prise.
Mr.. Dutton will visit all of the cities
mentioned. He says that San Fran
cisco is already in favor of the project
and has little doubt that the others
will fall in line.
N''It all depends upon Los Angeles"
he said, "for this city is the one most
of the conventions favor. For twenty
two consecutive weeks Denver has had
a convention, and it means millions of
spending money to the business men of
the city"
Mr.. button is president of the Albany
Hotel company of that city and vice
president of the Dutton Hotel COM
pany, which is building the new STAN
dish hotel.

yet recorded.
Throughout the week large num-
Der of votes came through the mail
from various sections of the county
from persons to whom bills had been
mailed for subscription. The greatest
scattered vote was recorded for Miss
Katie Stevens, she having received a
number of the special coupons from
Harlowton. Utica and other points in
the county.
The interest now is beginning to
become intense and the contest is the
all-absorbing question everywhere.
The three young ladies all appear to
be well known and they have friends
working for them everywhere. The
peculiar feature of this contest is that
one girls strength does not appear
to be confined to any particular
locality.
On page six of this weeks paper
will be found the first general itinerary
Of the trip. 1t shows in general
way the route that will be taken by
the popular young lady and gives the
general public fair idea Of the
magnificent trip that is in store for
the winner of the great prize. 1t is
worth reading.

SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR VET
ERAN TAKES HIS OWN
LIFE.

John Fisher, a member of Co. | in
the SPANS war and one Of
the best known men of this part of
the country, committed suicide about
4 o'clock Saturday morning in the
Cottage saloon by taking strychnine.
Fisher was in the back room of the
saloon when AL. Bebb, who was tend
ing bar, heard him cry out.
Bebb ran back to where the man
was and found him lying on the floor,
bleeding at the mouth. He told Bebb
to hurry and get doctor as he had
taken poison. A physician was called
but was too late to render any as
sistance.
Fisher had been carrying a bottle OF
strychnine in his pocket for some
time, having it to poison coyotes. He
is cripple and had wooden leg
He was extremely despondent and j,
is supposed that this was the cause
of his rash act.

are scores of people in his section of
Iowa who contemplate making a visit
to Fergus county during the spring
and summer. For the most part, they
are people who have some money to

Advertising Folder Arrives.
Several sample copies of the Fer
gus county advertising folder which
was recently published by the St.
Paul railroad company, were received
in this city yesterday morning. The
matter for this folder was prepared
by John B. Ritch and E. G Ivins and
it is printed up in attractive style
with numerous illustrations Of Fer
gus county ranch scenes. The folder
contains 81 pages and it is understood
that twenty or thirty thousand of
them have been printed and more will
be gotten out whenever this supply is
exhausted.
Without doubt, this folder will do
great deal toward advertising the
resources Of Fergus county. 1t is
comprehensive but the facts are not
exaggerated in the slightest manner
as those who come to see for them
selves readily realize.

JEFFERSON CLUB
TO give SMOKER
GOVERNOR EDWIN NORRIS
WILL BE PRESENT TO
MAKE ADDRESS.

Tentative arrangements have been
made for the annual smoker of the
Fergus County Jefferson Club, which
will be given in this city on Friday
evening, April 10th. It was intended
to hold the smoker on Saturday
evening but Governor Norris writes
that he will not be able to get here
on that date SO the time has been
changed to suit his convenience.
In times past the Jefferson Club
has given some highly enjoyable
smokers and there is no reason to
doubt that the one to be given this
year will be quite up to the standard.
There is not a finer political orator
in the state than Governor Norris
and there are also number of local
democrats who can jingle the welkin
somewhat when they get started.
A meeting will be held within few
days and committees will be appoint
ed to make all arrangements for the
occasion.

From present indications, the pres
ent year will establish record in
Lewistown in the matter of build
ing. Several big business blocks will
go up in the city and an unusually
large number of residences are being
planned.
New Empire Building.
The Empire Bank & Trust COM
pany last Tuesday evening closed a
deal with J. P. Barnes and M. L.
Woodman for the purchase of thirty
feet on the corner of Main street and
Fourth avenue, better known as the
Day House corner. $1,000 or $500
per front foot was paid for the prop
erty. Kirkwood Cross, the local
architect, is now busily engaged in
getting up the plans for a modern
bank building which the Empire peo-
pie intend to construct at once on the
corner. The building will probably
be constructed of cement blocks and
will be two stories high with full
basement. A strong foundation will
be put in so that whenever it is de-
sired to add additional stories it can
be done without interfering with the

completed, the Empire Bank will

buildings in the state The contract
for the excavation will be let this
week.
Hardware Co. May Build.
The Fergus County Hardware com.
pany have been considering the ques-
tion of putting up building of their
own this summer. In case their plans
are matured, the new home of this big
establishment will be in two story
stone building, 75x2OO feet, on the
corner of Main street and Sixth
avenue, on the Woodman lots op-
posite the Electric building The
building would have basement un
derneath the entire building, which
would give the store ample room for
all purposes, all under one room.
Working On Hotels.
Work on the new Bright hotel and
the annex to the Day House is being
pushed with all possible dispatch. The
excavation is about completed at both
places and the work of actual building
will start in the near future.

mining COMPANIES
Will BUILD MILLS
WORK WILL BEGIN IMMEDIA-
TELY ON PLANT FOR THE
CONE BUTTE.

The most important transaction of
the week in mining circles was the
negotiation of deal whereby John
R. Beggs of Columbus, Ohio, and
Max Orcher of New York City, took
over all of the unsold treasury stock
of the Cone Butte Mining company
in the Judith mountains and agreed
to furnish the money for the erection
of good mill on the property.
Six hundred thousand shares of the
two million with which the company
was capitalized, was set aside as
treasury stock. Of this stock, some
thing over one hundred thousand
shares had been sold, leaving in the
neighborhood of five hundred thou
sand shares which was purchased by
Messrs Beggs and Oscher. The
price has not been given out but it is
known to be a very satisfactory one
to all concerned.
Will Soon Put Up Mill.
To the Democrat, President Rae Of
the Cone Butte Mining company,
states that plans for the mill are now
being drawn. 1t is the intention to
put in a mill with daily capacity
of 100 tons. The crushing end will
have a capacity of 800 tons so that
the amount of ore treated can easily
be extended to that tonnage when the
mining operations justify it.

SO that it is even more difficult at
this stage to name probable winner

understood that a number of bets
were made during the week, no odds,
however being offered in any in

Each of the contestants and thei,
friends are quite sanguinc as to the
result so that change Of a few

no material difference. Three days
substantial work will give girl from
