OPERATORS and COAL
Miners sign SCALE
THERE WILL BE NO STRIKE
SCALE is SIGNED FOR TWO
YEARS.

The danger Of coal strike that
has lowered over the coal camps Of
the state, and indirectly over the
other places as WE'LL has passed away,
says the Great Falls Tribune. A
scale of wages which will govern coal
miners and operators for the next two
years has been signed, and there is
assurance of industrial peace in the
coal regions for that length of time
at least Early last evening a tele-
gram announcing that the scale had
been signed was received by c. 0.
jerks, of the Nelson-J Jenks Coal conn
pany, and considerable anxiety among
the coal men and miners, and the
community in general, is thereby re-
moved
The danger of coal strike has
been lowering over Montana for the
last two months That danger be-
came acute when couple of weeks
ago the joint conference of operators
and representatives of the miners
reported the impossibility of reach

ference were committee represent
ing the Mine Owners association
and another representing the Mine
Workers. This conference met in
Helena nearly month ago, and con-
tinued its efforts toward an agree
ment until September l8, when it re-
ported a disagreement. The miners
wanted the old scale signed for an
ether year and the operators asked
for a reduction. In the negotiations
the difference between workers and
owners in the neighboring state Of
Wyoming were taken into considera-
ton, and at that time the opinion
was expressed by miners who were
watching the negotiations, that if
the Wyoming situation could be
cleared up that the operators would
be willing to agree to the old scale.
However, nothing was done at the
meeting, and following it the officials
of the Mine Workers devoted their
attention toward getting the Wyom-
ing situation cleared up. This the,
succeeded in doing few days ago.
Fortunately there had been left an
opportunity for negotiations to be re-
opened up at any time through a
proviso that, in the event of failure
of the part of the scale conference to
reach an agreement, the executive
officers of the two organizations
might, at any time they deemed it
wise to do so, reopen negotiations
with each other. A few days ago it
was deemed wise to do this and a
conference was called in Helena. on
September 80. The miners represen-
tatives were finishing up down in
Wyoming and the meeting was not
held until yesterday when the new
scale was signed. It is in the nature
of. compromise. The miners get
the scale they were after, and the
operators got an agreement for two
years instead of one as had been
the custom in the past. The latter
desired the two year agreement be-
cause they claim that they can handle
their business better when they know
that they will have the longer period

CAMPAIGN GETTING warm
Democrats Held Initial Meeting at Milestone Last
iqht..Numer0uS Rallies Scheduled for
the Coming Week. Pray Here.

The campaign is on in earnest in
Fergus county this week. The re-
publicans made a sort of start last
Wednesday night when they held
their initial public meeting at Phil
brook. John c. Huntoon made the
principal address but failed to aruse
any particular enthusiasm.
Democrats Holding Rallies.
The opening rally by the demo-
Gratis was held last night at Milestone,
a new town on the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & St. Paul. A telephone mes
sage to the Democrat from hat place
states that big crowd Of voters
greeted the boys and the enthusiasm
manifested was surprising even to
the most sanguine Of the candidates
Tonight meeting will be held at
Roundup and tomorrow night, the
candidates will be at Lavina. From
the latter point, they will proceed to
Garneill and Straw for rallies at each
Of those points. Saturday evening a
big meeting will be held at Stanford
to be followed Monday and Tuesday
by meetings in Windham and Utica.
All of the candidates are along on
these trips and as any one of the boys
can deliver an interesting speech,
there will be no lack of good speak
ing. Rallies are now being arranged
where the principal addresses will be
made by David Hilger, E. G. Worden
and B. G. White. When these old
canpaigners get out on the hustings
together with the other boys, the fur
will fly and the cause of democracy
will prosper.
Governor Norris will be here the
10Th of this month and arrangements
will likely be made whereby he will
address the voters at Moore and
Kendall. Charlie Pray is now in the
county, having been scheduled for
about all of the precincts, large and
small, in the county. The fact that
the state committee is permitting their
congressional candidate to remain in
this one county for almost one full
week indicates how desperate the
local situation is from republican
viewpoint.

The petition of Mrs Emma Willard
and others for an extension of the
time for paying assessments for the
sewer was denied. The matter of
leveling the alley through which the
sewer was placed, was referred to
the street and alley committee.
The council discussed at some
length the proposed plan for a grade
around the new court house square
but nothing was decided upon.

make Fergus county splendid repre-
sentative.
Mr.. Breck Ornbaum, democratic
candidate for the legislature, has
challenged R. B. Thompson to
joint debate on the questions of in
terest to the voters of Fergus county
and, we are informed, Mr.. Thompson
has respectfully but hnmly declined
the honor. NJ. Ornbaum is willing
to go before the people and let them
judge which is the better man for
the place. Mr.. Thompson prefers the
gum shoe methods of his esteemed
chief, Edward Donlan.
J. M. Parent does not possess the
rather doubtful reputation of being
"plunger." Mr. Parent has always
managed his personal business in a
careful conservative manner. As a
result, he is absolutely independent.
Mr.. Parent is not 'iplunger" in
the administration of county affairs.
The same careful, conservative atten-
ton which he has always given his
own business is accorded the busi-
ness Of the county. He has shown
his ability to deal successfully with
the big problems which come before
the governing board of the county.
The experience of the two years
which he has served will add to his
efficiency during the next six years.
The Democrat would suggest that the
voters, before casting their ballots
for commissioner, carefully compare
the acts, public and private, of J. M.
Parent who has resided in Fergus
county for twenty years, with the
acts, public and private, of Mr. Cling
an. Compare their records as care
full business men and we believe that
the natural deduction will be de-
termination to vote for the Kendall
storekeeper.
Few sheriffs of the west have been
called upon to meet the responsible

of two railroads through the county

A grocer may smile when you
take an apple, but he doesn't mean
it.
A woman never admits a fault
as though she really meant it.
Great men and tramps get more
for nothing than any other class of
people.
1t is good thing for you that peo-
pie don't have time to investigate
all of your statements.
When young woman asks a
young man to let her sew on but
ton the world holds its breath.
When the people see trunk
go up the street from the depot they
wonder who is catching it this
time.
A woman who is too good to chill
dren is as capable as the man who
is not good enough.
About the most disagreeable fell
low on earth is the man who is al
ways trying to get an office but
never gets it.
1t is hard to feel just exactly the
same toward friend when you
have seen him being chuumy with
your enemy.

GRAND VIEW
IRRIGATION
Grand WV Land and irrigation Com
pany viii Open Up line
Country.

The Grand View Land and lrrigs-
ton company has completed the
dam in the Bruncau river and In
this issue of the Maverick announc-
cs the opening of their lands along
the Snake river basin to the actual
settlement of homescekcrs- Tho
completion of this dam means that
$4,000 miners inches Of water can
be diverted into their canals for
their use in irrigating the lands UNI
der their ditch. For this vast
amount of water they have at thier
disposal the small amount OF s, 500
acres of land. This means that
their canals carry at least enough
water to irrigate more than twice
the amount OF land at their disposal
and that from an unceasing supply.
This land is situated along the
Snake river near the famous Hall
ranch where failure is unknown.
1t is a we'll known fact that the
spring season comes from three to
four weeks earlier there than any
other section in Southern Idaho,
making it a most desirable local
ity in which to establish a home.
Late frosts are unknown and fruit
buds and blossoms are never injur-
ed from this source, hence there
can be no failure and crop is al
WAYS assured.
The Grand View valley is situ-
ated IS miles southwest of Noun
tain Home and those who have been
there say that 1t is beyond question
the pest small irrigation proposition
in the state. Eight tons of alfalfa
TO the acre is small yield and the
least that can be figured on conser-
vatively. There hay grows plenti-
fully and the spring season comes
early, making 1t an ideal place for
stockmen to feed their flocks, which
come through the winter in fine
condition.
F. c. Woodford and j. w. Me-
hargue have opened an office on the
corner of Canyon street and Atlanta
avenue, opposite the Citizens State
bank, where MIR. Mehargue will be
pleased to give all information de-
sired relative to the project.

Could they use some likely shoats ?

Didn't like our billy goats.

Anything but cash to use.

The Shears and SawbuCk Way.

Shears and Sawbuck kept store
Such as never was before.
City folks they wouldn't sell.
Wouldn't let 'em have smell.
Fetched their money-but by jing,
Couldn't buy blessed thing:
Couldn't meet 'em face to face
An sell 'em with good grace.
Country trade was all they sought,
Folks who paid for what they got.
Fore they saw it, hide or tail.
They sent catalogues by mail
Out to every blessed one
Gettin' mail at Postum Run.
We set up at night and read
When we'd orter been to bed.
Book was bout as big as sin
Had lot OF pictures in.
Had lot of merchandise,
Every kind and every size
Givin' prices that they swore
Knocked out every country store.
Looked so good and seemed so true
! pit at it-gim did, too,
inns my neighrbor cross the way,
Best man ever woI ked in kay;
lust let him top off stack.
Sheds rain like a turtles back,
Pleasure list to see him work
Never knew al Jim to shirx;
Swings a scythe like it was play
Like to watch him in the hay.
Well, we, like pair of fools,
Sent off-got some haydn tools.
Jim got harness and pillow,
i RANGE see it now;
Drast the thing, it was so light
Used il for torch one night,
Throw'd the darned thing in the
yard,
Use it now fer rendcrin' lard.
'Forc Jim used the plow an hour
Found the blamed thing wouldn't
scour;
Tried his harness-brokc a tug
Sought for solace in his jug
In the cooler all that night
Jim reflected on his plight;
In the morning Richard Stout,
Hardware merchant, bsiled him out.
Jim said after that he stick
Close as bark to good oil Dick;
Since he left the Postum Jail
Says he won't buy goods by mail.
Says Dicks cheaper anyhow
Might have saved some on his plow
On the other goods some more.
At his oil friends hardware store.
Jim says, I'VE can't sell no trucl
To SIGH folks as Shears-Sawbuck,
They'll take all our cash away,
But won't buy our corn or hay"
That to me seemed purity strange
