FAIR STOCK
GOING FAST
Work on New Buildings and Grounds Also Going
Forward in Very Satisfactory Manner.

AS indicative of the general spirit
shown toward public enterprises in
Dawson county, little occurrence
of last week is extremely interesting.
Three officers of the Dawson County
Fair Association, E. J. Berry, I. F.
Hagan and Geo. McCone, made a
little canvass among the business
men Of the city, and in the space of
some two hours had disposed of
stock in the the association to the
amount of $1,000. So it is very evi-
dent that the people are determined
to support the new association in a
way to be proud of. The books are
open at the office of Secretary w.
B. Foster, and it is hoped that all
citizens of Dawson county, who feel
so inclined, will invest in a few
shares of the stock. 1t is hoped to
make the association as much the
property of the people in general as
possible.
All the money collected at the
present time will be used in making
improvements at the grounds, erect
ing buildings, and in general going
ahead with any needful work. The
association officers are extremely
enthusiastic at the future prospects
of our fair and will leave no stone
unturned which might tend to the
advancement of our stock and agri-
cultural exhibits.

WELL KNOWN LADY DEAD

1t was with great regret that the
many Lower Valley friends of Mrs.
B. F. Peer learned of her demise in
Glendive on Friday morning last. She
passed away at Grace Hospital after
a severe illness extending over sever
al weeks. Mr.. Peer was at her side
when death came On the same day the
remains were prepared for shipment,
and, accompanied by the husband of
the deceased, taken to the Lower Val
ley for interment.
The sympathy of all will go out to
the family in it's bereavement, and es-
pecially so as the deceased leaves five
small children.

ernor Wilson," will cost between
81 500 and $1,000, complete. It's
erection is simply another exhibition
of the popular progressive spirit,
which actuates the work for the ad
vancement of the associations in
terests.
Many others of our local horsemen
are exercising their animals every
day on the new track. Just watch
the bursts of speed that will be pro-
duced by the time another race cir
cult booking rolls around.
1t seems a practical certainty that
everything will be in readiness at
the new grounds by the time another
year elapses.
Therefore, without doubt, the
fair of 1909 will be held on the new
property. A collection of buildings
suitable for all needs will be erected
and placed at the disposal OF the eX-
hibitors. 1t is not necessary for this
sheet to dilate at length on the num-
Der of new residents who have lately
located within the county's borders,
and a great proportion of whom are
farmers. Suffice to say, that as the
population grows, the agricultural
exhibits will grow in proportion, and
a greater attendance at the annual
fair be assured. Let every resident
of the county get behind the fair
band wagon and lend a willing
shoulder to help push the latter
vehicle to place of greater promin-
ence and pecuniary advantage

Thompson was dead when picked up,
and the others mortally injured. So
great was the force of the explosion
that shattered portions of the wood
work about the mouth of the shaft
were blown into Ten-Mile creek, 1000
feet away. Besides the three men in
the cage, portions of at least two other
bodies were blown from the shafthouse
and were found in field nearby.
Immediately folllwing the explosion
dense column of smoke issued from
the shaft, and it was feared fierce
fire was raging at the bottom Of the
mine.

For A Storage Warehouse

Billings, Nov. 20.-The matter of
constructing a wool warehouse in
Chicago, where the wool of Mont
ana, or considerable portion of it,
will be stored and held to wait for
the best possible prices, is being
considered by some of the prominent
wool men in the city. A number of
men interested in the proposition
met at the Billings club today and.
after considering the matter, decid-
ed to hold another meeting Dec. 1. at
which all growers in the vicinity are
to be present. It is the purpose of
the National Wool Warehouse COM
pany to erect a building at a cost of
$500, 900, of which amount Chicago
will advance $3.50. 900 and woolmen
of Wyoming, Montana, Utah and
Idaho are expected to furnish the
balance. Each shareholder must con-
tract to deliver to the warehouse
not less than 5000 pounds of wool
each year for each share of stock he
subscribes. It is said the company
will advance Sc per cent of the val
ue on all wool stored. Woolmen who
attended the meetings believe the
proposition a good one.

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH

The young son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Bruce Daley, who reside north of Wi
baux, narrowly escaped death on Thurs
day last, when he fell beneath horse
in the stable, and Messrs. Daley and
Erickson, who Immediately came to
his rescue, were also quite severely in
iured before they succeeded in saving
the boys life.
The Pioneer has been unable to
learn the details of the accident, di-
rectly, but we understand that the
little boy had ventured to climb upon
the manger in the stall where the
horse was tied, in order to secure a
bride, but, in some manner, lost his
balance, falling back beneath the
horse. where he was kicked or stamp
ed in some manner. However, when
picked up his jaw bone was found to
be dislocated and his face was severely
cut
We also understand that Mr.. Erick-
son, who first attempted to save the
boy was kicked by the horse and had
his arm broken just above the wrist,
and that Mr.. Daley and Mr.. Barker
also received slight injuries before
the latter was successful in saving the
child.
Mr.. Erickson and the little boy
were brought to Wibaux on Friday
morning where the former had his
broken arm set, and Mr.. Daly's son
remained here for treatment until
Saturday when he was taken back to
his home on the ranch. Pioneer.

6 Cooley, superintendent of
.Ao Montana Farmers Institutes,
;,forms the Monitor that the officers
oftbe association have decided to
to,d meetings at Sidney, Ridgelawn
,r3 Fairview on Thursday and Fri
5n. Dec. 10 and II. Institutes are
ror being held at Valley county
noints, and it is supposed that the
Gentlemen will journey by stage
from Mondaksto their destinations.
The announcement is also made that
Terry. Ismay and Ekalaka in Custer
,nntv and Wibaux, Adams, Bloom
field and Tokna in Dawson county
have been accepted for Institutes in
April, May or June next, for which
exact dates will be announced later.
Now that the Lower Valleyites
have mostly finished their fall work,
tbey should eagerly grasp the op-
portunity to hear several noted
speakers upon pertinent farm top
les. Too often is there a seeming
lack of interest in these meetings.
But if one will notice carefully the
attendants at these sessions, he will
become aware that most of the pros
porous and progressive agricultu-
rEts Of the various communities are
always present. Those who pursue
slack, obsolete methods in their
farm work are generally conspicu-
Gus by their absence at these ses-

INSTITUTES
NEXT WEEK
Lower Valley Farmers Will Have Opportunity Tc
Hear Several Distinguished Speakers

sions. 1t can not be denied that the
farmers who thus show lack of in
terest in their work are inevitably
failures at nearly everything which
they undertake.
Let everyone come to these meet
ings prepared to ask questions along
lines where information is needed,
and participate in the discussions.
Local contributions to the program
IN the way of music and discussion
add much to the interest of the
meetings. Seek to secure as much
information as possible from the
speakers sent out by the board. 1t
is their earnest desire to be as use
full and helpful in every way as pos
sible.
Several publications, including a
book on dry land farming, will be
given away at the meetings. These
pamphlets are always thoroughly
up-to-date.
Persons interested along institute
lines should write to F. S. Cooley of
Bozeman, Montana, concerning the
topics which will most interest the
people in their community, so that
the program may be made as valua-
BILE and Interesting as possible. The
officers are always very glad to have
new topics of interest to farmers
constantly brought to attention. Re-
member the Lower Valley dates.

CHICAGO MARKETS

Chicago, Union Stock Yards, Nov.
28.-Receipts of western range cat
tie this week were light. There was
good demand for beef steers, al
though prices dropped Is to Is cents
in sympathy with the break for ma
tives. Cows and heifers were in
light numbers and the call was brisk.
There is encouragement in for
warding to market the good, fat Of
ferings, as such will likely meet
ready sale at strong prices the bal
ance of the season, but shipping
! yearling and two-year-old steers, as
well as young she stock, it seems to
us is a very poor plan. In fact it is
sacrificing good material.
There was 4 sensational advance
in prices for sheep and lambs this
week, the gain over late the preced-
| ing week for the former offerings
being so to 60 cents and for the lat
ter rs cents to 81. Comparatively
light runs, the closing Of the East
Buffalo Yards because of the foot
and mouth disease, and broadened
consumptive demand were the boost
/ ing factors. Fancy lambs reached
S6.75, the highest since the week
ending. Aug. Is, and wethers $50,
the highest sheep have made here
since the week ending Oct 10.
There was another 10 to 20 cent
advance in rates for feeding sheep
and lambs. 1t was q case of meager
supplies and hungry demand, and
thousands more of offerings could
have been used than were available.

NEW POINTS MADE
HUNDLEY's APPOINTMENT MAY BE
 ILLEGAL.
Attention is Directed to Opinion of Att tOrney General Garland in the Case of Judge Toulmin, of
 Mobile District.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 6-(Special) ) New points are being made right along against Judge Oscar R. Hund- ley, by those urging that he should not he confirmed.
 It will be remembered that when the United States Judgeship for the Mobile District was created, President Cleve- land did not make an appointment dur ing the Congress in which the office was created, but waited until after the adjournment and then proposed to appoint Judge Toulmin.
 Attorney General Garland advised MT. Cleveland that the case did not come within the provisions of the con- stitution. which, on that subject. Is as follows:
 "The President shall have power to i'll up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate, by granting commissions which shall ex- pire at the end of the next session"
 MT. Garland held that no vacancy in the office had happened during the re- cess of the Senate. President Cleve- land then withheld the appointment of Judge Toulmin until Congress re-as- sembled.
 Representative Clayton called the at- tention of the Department of Justice to this ruling of Attorney General Gar land before the appointment of Judge Hundley was made, but the department officials and President Roosevelt ig- nored the ruling and appointed Judge Hundley in vacation.
 The more this point is considered, the more many of the best lawyers In the Senate and House-Republicans and Democrats-believe that Judge Hund- ley's appointment was and is abso- lutely void for the reason that he was not appointed when Congress was in session. and was not made for the purpose of filling a vacancy that oc- cured during the recess of tho senate
