ARE PREPARING
FOR THE FAIR
PRIZES FOR SOHE STATE FAIR
EXHIBITS HAVE BEEN
ANNOUNCED.

Shall Ravalli county hold countw
| fair or be represented at the state tair
this year?
If SO, it is up 60 the people to begin
| making preparations at once.
Under a state law the board of
county commissioners may at the
March meeting appropriate 1,OOe, for
premiums, to form the nucleus for a.
fair fund.
Many counties of the state are al
ready making preparations to this
end. Ravalli can make the best
showing of products of any county in
the state if the people SO wish and GO
about it in a business-like way.
Even though it be decided not to
hold county fair this county should
be represented at the state fair To
make proper showing the best re-
suits may be secured by acting to-
gether Through the medium of the
county board. Let the board appre.
pirate suitable sum to pay for the
collection, shipment and installation
of the exhibits and secure the services
of some competent person to supervise
the same.
If no official action is taken it is
probable that Ravalii will have very
little representation at the fair. A
few individuals at considerable sacri-
fice of time and money may send over
creditabie exhibits but the county az
a whole will draw a blank
A recent issue of the Helena Iude-
pendent in this connection, says:
The management of the Montana
State Fair has determined to increase
the prizes for county collective exhib-
it's, which has been one of the features
of the show. In fact, some of the dis
plays made by counties of Montana at
the state fair have equalled those
made by states at some of the nation
al shows. Yellowstone started the
matter by making a marvellous dis
play in 1908, ia which the artistic
ability of Mr.. Gardner was fully
shown. Following years GaNatiu,

New Demurrage Rules.

A letter from the Railroad Commi s.
sion states that they have promulga at ed
a new set of demurrage rules appli-
cable to all the railroads operating in
Montana, which will become effectiv e
Feb. 8. after which date copies can be
inspected at the railroad offices. One
important feature of the rules is the
allowing of three days free time for
the unloading of lumber, stulls, log
giug, coal, coke, lime, lime rock and
bulk precipitates. Additional free
time is extended in case of bad wea :
ther conditions where contents of
cars would be injured by exposure,
also where cars are punched in de-
livery, and so forth.

GOVERNOR TOOLE
HAS RESIGNED
ON ACCOUNT OF ILL HEALTH
EDWIN NORRIS THE NEXT
GOVERNOR.

Governor Jos. X. Toole last Satur-
day filed his resignation as chief ex-
ecutive of this state with Secretary of
State Yoker. The resignation will
take effect April /, although Lieuteh-
ant Governor Edwin Norris, of Dillon,
will assume the duties of the office
within few days as Gov. Toole ex-
poets to leave for southern California
about the middle of February. State
Senator A. W. Miles, Of Park county,
president of the senate, will succeed
Mr.. Norris as lieutenant governor.
Nine months of Governor Toole's term
remained to be filled.
Ill health is the reason given by
Gov. Toole for his resignation. His
physicians insist that he shall give up
the cares of his high Office and seek
a lower altitude near the sea coast.
AS soon as he regairs his health he
expects to return to Helena and re-
sumo the practice ol law.
Lieutenant Governor Norris, who
succeeds to the governorsllip of Mon
tana, has once before occupied the
executive chair of the state. In 1899
Mr.. Norris, as senator from Beaver
head county and president pro tenn of
the senate, was called upon to take
hold of the reins OF government dur
ing the absence of both the governor
and the lieutenant governor from the
state. This was in 1899 and Mr..
Norris piloted the ship of state from
January to March of that year.
Mr.. Norris came to Montana in 1888.
He located in Dillon, and since 1896
he has always taken a prominent part
in the politics of the state. In 1896 he
was elected senator from Beaverhead
county, and it was during this term
that he served as governor In Sep
tember, 1000, he was appointed by
Gov. Smith as member of the boa rd
of managers of the normal school at
Dillon.
In the senate Mr.. Norris ability as
~one of the leading lawyers of Montana
was brought forcibly to the front.
He was the leader of the grea, work of
framing the insurance law and the
inheritance tax law, both of which

UP TO THE LAND OWNERS
Mr.. Moody Returns From Chicago
Says Big Ditch Can be Financed
And Work Will be Resumed
If Owners Co=ope rate.

| reas enable price on the land under
the ditch not now controlled by the
company. I have come to the valley
| to make thorough canvass of the sit
uation and believe the land owners
will realize that our interests are
mutual and will cooperate with me
in making sure of this project that
means more to every inhabitant of
the valley than any other enterprise.
The vast amount of advertising tha at
has been done by the Bitter Root Dis
trict Irrigation company is only a
forerunner of the work that is to be
done in the future providing the pro-
ject is carried out. Within the short
time that the company was actively
engaged in the construction of the
canal the value of farm lands, as you
all know, has been advanced very ma
terialiy, and over five hundred thou
sand dollars were spent on the propo-
sition, most of which went into the
pockets of the residents of Rayalli
county.
If I receive the cooperation OF the
land owners and others the work will
be resumed early in the spring, aud
during the next twelve months there
will be more than a million and a
half dollars spent to complete the
work. 1t will bring hundreds of ac-
tive and intelligent farmers here from
all parts of the country to help de-
velop the land iuto a veritable garden
spot that has heretofore been consider
ed practically worthless--thereby add
ing to the wealth of the valley and
reducing taxation materially,
The receiver will sell the property
March 3, so will have only month
to secure the options on the remaining
land. There are nearly fifty owners
and while shall work fast trying to
see them all, it seems impossible for
me to do so in so short time. 1 will
be glad to have any of them look me
mp at my headquarters at the Ravalii
hotel, where shall be glad to take the
matter up with them.
Respectfully,
w. I. MOODY.

W. I. Moody, president of the Bitter
Root District Irrigation company, ar
rived Sunday evening from Chicago,
where he has been for six weeks past
wrestling with the problem of re-fi-
nancing the big ditch, now in the
hands of Receiver Wolgemuth.
Mr.. Moody is decidedly optimistic
as to the early completion of the big
ditch, providing the land owners will
cooperate. His views as to the situa-
ton are submitted IN the following
communication:
Mr.. Moody says the financial skies
are Frightening somewhat in the east
and that plenty of money will prob
ably soon be available, although the
business depression may continue in
definitely.
Editor The Western News:
I wish to use the columns of your
valued paper to present the facts as
they appear to me pertaining to the
construction of the big ditch.
1t seems to be the general impress
sion of the land owners here in the
valley that the project will be COM
pleted at any cost and that construc-
tion work will be resumed early in the
spring. I am sorry to say that that I
cannot agree with them. 1 believe

Among the late arrivals at Castle
 Hot Springs are J. w. Kendrick and party who reached the famous mOun- tain resort on Wednesday. MT. Ken drick is the first vice president Of the Santa Fe railroad company and is ac- companied by his wife. Others of the i party are Mir and Mrs. T. H. Blodgett, Mrs. Blodgett being daughter of MT. Kendrick, and w. G. Dunekel of Chi ! cago, secretary to Vice President Ken drick.
 The visitors came direct from Flor ida where they went for the remainder of the winter, but found such disagree able weather they decided to change to { the land of sunshine and blue sky. They passed through Phoenix on Tues day in a private car, going to the springs from the junction in the springs automobile. Theye are com fortably situated now in the mountain resort and are enthusiastic over the de- lightful climate and novel surround ingS.
 That Arizona in Castle Hot Springs, is the proud possessor of one of the most beautiful and attractive resorts in the southwest, is not new to the residents of the territory put the tour ist who is looking for a place to go to escape the cold and storms of the east and has not visited Castle Hot Springs. has no conception of the really wonderfully located and up-to-date hostelry in the foothills, only fifty miles from Phoenix. In a miniature valley with high mountain peaks on all sides. affording protection from all dis agreeable winds and dust, are located the attractive hotel buildings, bunga lows and bath houses, and the hot mineral springs with a flow of 400. 900 gallons every "A hours, of curative wa ters at temperature ranging from 115 to 122.
 This'resort resembles a small muni- cipality, as it supports it's own electric light, water, steam and sewerage sys- tems,-a laundry plant and livery sta bles. There is always a private tele- phone system as well as connections with the long distance telephone and telegraph. The opportunities for amusement are many. including horse back riding, tennis. shooting. swlm- ming. bowling. billiards, pool, etc.
 A nine hole golf course is under con- struction; when completed it will be one of the most fascinating courses in the west, situated between two ranges of mountains and with Castle Creek as q natural hazard.
 The two out-of-door swimming pools. one hot and one cold, offer a means for recreation and exercise that few resorts can boast of at this season Of the year.
 The bath houses are equipped for the administration of the mineral waters in every form and practically every bath known to science is given, includ- ing the celebrated Nauheim or effer- vescent bath for heart disease. Skilled attendants who have had years of training are employed, and the results

obtained by persons suffering from conditions that can be benefited by baths, are most flattering and go to show that this part of the business is only in its infancy.
 All of the employees about the hotel are skilled in their lines of work and the service is first class in every re- spect. An experienced steward with French chef to assist him, presides over the culinary department, assur- ing the guests plenty of good things to eat, prepared to suit their individual tastes.
 The trip to the springs from Phoe- nix is made in short time and with every degree of comfort by train and automobile. Guests can now leave Phoenix at eight o'clock in the morn ing and arrive at the springs in time for lunch.
 Attractive rates are offered by the railroad and no one should lose the op- portunity of taking this trip at an early date.

Exact Obedience.

Native servants in India have the generally desirable. though sometimes inconvenient. virtue of the Chinese doing exactly as they are told. The trouble is that that seldom use judg- ment.
 A general, during a campaign in In- dia, had ordered his man to prepare his bath at certain hour. One day a fierce engagement was going on. but the servant made his way through q storm of bullets and appeared at the commanders side.
 'Sahib," said he, your bath is ready"
 Even a better story comes from an unknown soldier. who was awakened one morning by feeling the servant of a brother officer pulling at his feet.
 "Sahib," whispered the man, 'sahib, what am I to da?" My master told me to wake him at half-past six. but he did not go to bed till seven

That the money furry has proven a stimulus to emmigratiOn, colonization and active investments in land had midwinter corroboration in the an nouncement here that the Canadian Northern railway had sold tract of 100000 acres in the Saskatchewan plains west of Saskatoon a cash trans- action of practically a million dollars
 This land was purchased by J. F. Luse of St. Paul for a colony or Germans from Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas who will remove in the spring to occupy d portion of the tract. Specific cases like this are numerous in this city which is the headquarters of many colonization movements. In connec- tion with this the comment was made by Davidson &McRae, general agents for the Canadian Northern, that inn migration to western Canada will be heavier this year than heretofore, the money pinch in the United States hav- ing increased investments in real es- tate in Canada as in the United States.

J. c. kd- ans of Phoenix, who has the couI1ge of his convictions, and exercises .ha right of every free American citizen to express his views. It is too bad that such a lack of harmony exists, do not wish to espouse the cause o. either faction in a personal way, bu- I do not think any citizen can afford to be unjust. MT. Adams has his faults, no doubt many of them, but h.. is a man who does things and hf, work in MaricOpa county is entitled Co great credit and should be apnTsciated In the beginning of his residence il Phoenix he gave to the town fin. hotel which everybody applauded the time. His association with th. board of trade was always evidence by hard work for the public benent. Who but J. C. Adams worked with un- tiring zeal to raise money for use in advertising the county through a con missioner of immigration? Who led th. fight for municipal ownership of th water works, and although defeated in election after election never despair. until now first class water works ar- assured, to be owned and operated b. the city? And who but he could hay. accomplished the magnificent success of the territorial fair? True he has had assistants and the loyal supp0r- of the community but he has earneT and is entitled to gratitude and credi. for the splendid fair grounds and ter ritorial fairs which are the pride of th. southwest and have ,even a nationa reputation~ He took the lead, inspired the enthusiasm. and raised tfs neces- sary preliminary money.
 Tn the present controversy l am ir- formed that MT.

MISS MOVES. IMpERsoNEoR

Every available chair in Oxford Club hall was occupied last evening by an audience which enjoyed a rare en- tertainment, one of the most delightful given in this city in recent years. The fine old comedy of Oliver GOldsmith's s She Stoops to Conquer" was given by Miss Edith COburn Moves. This was the main feature of the evening $ pleasure. Added to this was a series of numbers by the Hoffman Sextet, composed of members of the Boston Symphony orchestra, each player an artist From the beginning to the end the performance was a genuine treat lacking not one moment of interest.
 Miss Moves sustained in her own person all the parts in the play, ten in number with great success all through. Each character received its correct in depreciation, and one had only to shut his eyes to be convinced that the stage was filled wi;I: people. The amusing situations that male Gold smiths work the best of old comedies were clearly brought out, and even the scenes were made to change by the ar tist's wonderful power of portrayal She had no need to repeat the last few Hines of the piece, for indeed her de- lighted hearers were fairly conquered by her art.-Lynn (Mass.)

A Correspondent Upholds His Right as
 a Citizen to Express His Views

To the Editor of The Republican. Sir.
 The political agitation going on now among republicans in Arizona has de- veloped some peculiar conditions. and in some localities has become more or less personal. This is to be deplOred, the question should be fought out purely upon its merits, as to whether an instructed delegation sent to Chi cago. will better serve territorial and republican interests than 10 send our highest type of citizens uniettered by instructions and free to use their best judgment. It is alleged that the fed
 eral office-holders are improperly ac- tive for selfish purposes: on the other hand individual republicans not in of- flee are accused of being marplots and discORtent breeders, because they are Outspoken in their opposition to what they call "pie-cOunter domination.
