CORN AND ITS USES
A Trip Around the World Revealed
the Many Uses Corn Has in
Foreign Countries.
Foreign Countries

Omaha. Neb. Aug. 17.-ln a trip
around the world Gurdon w. Wattles,
of Omaha and Los Angeles, has
found l31 products of American corn,
ranging from hasty pudding in Japan
to confectionery along the banks Of
the Danube: from breakfast food in
Belgium TO the starch used on bat
lers' rutfies IN dear old London.
AT a commercial exposition in Eng.
land MIR. Wattles saw 12S products of
American corn. most of which were
manufactured west Of Buffalo.
Mr.. Waltles did not go around the
world to look for corn nor to intro
duce it in Europe, as did Corn

WRESTLING CONTEST GOOD

Good Crowd at the Gale Sat.
urday Evening.

Wrestling contests in Mitchell have
been few and far between in the past
few years, but there was a time
when they came along with greater
r%apidity. Saturday evening Willets
and Domke both professional men,
tackled each other on the mat in the
Gale theatre and there were several
hun,iled men gathered there to see
the contest. j. e. Morgan acted as
the referee in the contest and his
decisions were fair to both men. He
had to be about as spry as the
wrestlers for he was crawling
around on his bands and knees and
laying fat on the floor when one Ct

The first round Willetts won in ii
minutes, throwing his opponent with

COME FROM LONG DISTANCE
Butte County Coming in From the
Far Western Part of the State
to Corn Palace.

Chairman Seaman. who is looking
after the agricultural exhibits for
the corn palace committee, says
that the counties are taking a
decided interest in the matter of
exhibiting their products at the corn
palace. He has secured the exhibits
from twelve counties in this section
OF the state, and after taking it up
with several gentlemen in Butte
county they have decided to make an
exhibit of the agricultural products
from the far western part Of the
state.
Butte county is just being opened
up for settlement and for a great
many years it has been a cattle
grazing county. With the advent
of the two railroads through a
portion of it, thousands of settlers
have invaded the large domain and
they are tanning the soil TO the pro-
duction of corn, wheat, oats, etc.
There has been plenty of rainfall in
that section this season and some
crops have been produced. 1t will be
quite an Innovation to have the
exhibit from that section and it is
possible that the men out that way
might push some of the counties in
this section to a close race for one of
the prizes.
1t is yerv likely that the county
exhibits will be so numerous this
year that some OF them will have to
be placed on the second floor. The
corn palace committee have done
the verv proper thing by Offering
prizes for the various exhibits, and
thus make it an object for the
counties to be represented in The
great event of the northwest-the
corn palace.
In years gone by the counties that
have exhibited in Mitchell's corr
palace have reached the bel eft twice
over from the advertising they get,
and as an advertising feature in this
respect it is just as good today as 1T
was l6 years ago, when the corn
palace was first founded in this
state.

THE FIRST LIQUOR CASE
First Arrest Is Made for the viola
ton of Liquor Law Since
Mitchell Went Dry.

Mrs. L. M. Holbrook was bound
over to the circuit court in Justice
MarkhaM's court Saturday morning
on the charge of selling intoxicating
liquors without a license. 1t has
taken two or three days to work up
the evidence and 1t was all ready for
the preliminary examination. Fl. Y.
Preston appeared for the defendant
and States Attorney Spangler for
the state. The case oriVianted from
the arrest of Thos. Barrett Tuesday
evening and on being searched found
two bottles of whiskey in his
pocket, and this lead to an investi-
cation on the part of the officers as
to where he got this booze. 1t was
alleged that James Cook, a stock
man. made the purchase of the
whiskey at the Holbrook drug store
and gave it to Barrett. Sheriff
Cook filed the complaint That the
Holbrook store was selling the liquor
and Mrs. lIolbrook was arrested
Friday evening, giving bond for her
| appearance in court
When the preliminary examination
was held this morning Jim Cook,
the stoo kman, was placed on the
stand, and gave his connection with
the case. He stated in substance
that he met Barrett, who asked him
to get him some whiskey, that he
went into the drug store and got the
bottle filled; that he did not ask for
whiskey, but merely wanted the
bottle tiled. He said he did not
know whether it was whiskey or
what. This happened along late in
the afternoon.
Thos Barrett was the next witness.
He stated that he vas a farm hand
and that his home was wherever he
was working. He said he met Cook
on the street early in the morning,
before the drug store was open, and
again late in the Afternoon. At that
time he said he gave Cook 81. SO with
the request that Cook get him some
whiskey. Cook went into the Hol-
brook drug store and in about five
minutes returned with the bottle:
filled. Barrett said that they went
in between two buildings and each
took a drink. He was asked by States
Attorney Spangler il it was whisky
and Barrett declared that it was
whiskey, that he had drank it long
enough to know.
Policeman Purdy was on the stand
to c%orroboIate a portion Of the
testimony. M. L. Holbrook wa,
called to establish the identity o.
the Ownership Of the drug store
which he declared belonged to hi.
wife.
From the evidence that was pre-
sented, Justice Markham bound Mrs
Holbrook over to the Novembe
tern of circuit court in the sum OF
$500, which was furnished.

Status Of Irrigation Scrip.

Hundreds OF people in Montana are
vitality interested in what action may
be taken by congress on the
question of the legality of the scrip

In connection with construction work

Gates are issued by the water users
associations by authority OF the in.

sire to irrigate % payment for their
services in constructing lateral bitches
from the main reclamation caual to
their farms. The government obi.
gates itself to receive the certificates
as an application on the annual pay
ments of those who have taken up land
under the ditch.
In the Milk river section, not only
has a arrangement been made to Is.
sue this scrip in payment for services
in the building Of laterals, but III order
to build the main ditch the residents
Of that section agreed with the depart-
ment to take scrip, and under that
agreement work is being prosecuted.
President Roosevelt, who has taken
such 90 interest in national reclama-
ton work, is primarily responsible
for the issue of the scrip, he holding
that everything possible should be
done to assist the people who make
homes under the bitches and who set.

Some senators hold that the scrip Is
a form Of currency and hence they
have raised the question of the RICH,
of the interior department to issue it,
The comptroller Of the currency has
passed upon the question, and he
holds that the scrip is simply an evi
dence Of debt, and not currency. Sec
rotary Garfield has appeared before
the senate committee on irrigation
several times in connection with the
subject, and whatever weight his in
~luence and opinion has with the com
mittee will be cast in favor of the is
sue Of the scrip to the farmers who

gratifying realization of what con.
gress is for. The people have amiably
acquiescad in the advance of salaries,

worthy OF due reward. But there are
two sides to every bargain, and con
