GEORGE DONAHUE BOOSTS
The BITTER ROOT VALLEY

George Donahue, the "boy manager"
of the Sutton company that played in
Hamilton recently, left this town with
impressions that he is spreading all
over the state. In an interview pub
lished in Fridays Butte Miner,
George passed out these compliments
of Hamilton and Victor:
81 still maintain that this is a great
country, and one of the greatest parts
of this country is the Bitter Root val
ley. We have just come from there,
and, say, the way they treated us in
Hamilton was Immense. We did
splendidly in Hamilton, and take i,
from me that is real town, made up
of real people. We opened the new
theater at Victor and had an excellent
run there. The Victor playhouse
would do credit to a city of $4,000.
In Missoula we played in the beautiful
new Harnois theatre, one of the best
in the northwest, and we had big
audiences at each performance. In
fact we hold the record there for paid
admissions, having had more than the
play which opened the house. That
Bitter Root country is hummer, and
we never will forget the great treat
ment we received there"

Season Anticipated.

The official opening of the baseball

The directors of the teams have been
chosen. w. o. Fisk was chosen di-
rector to represent the Hamilton team

1t is said that the Victor and Stew
ensville teams will be stronger than
any ever before had by those towns,
each having been recruited by num-
ber of new players. Hamilton's
strength with relation to previous
years will have to be determined after
the series of games is started, and this
is true also of Corvallis.
The opening next Su nday is expect
ed to bring out large crowd. To
give the day an official aspect, Mayor
Drinkenberg will throw the first ball
across home plate. The Hamilton
band may be secured to provide music.

annual Outdoor affair Proves
Interesting.

Lenox, Oct. 23.-There are two October af-
fairs which hold the Lenox cottagers in the
Berkshire Hills until November. One is the
annual horse show, the other the annual
chrysanthemum and vegetable show. in
which the cottagers are rivals for awards
and diplomas for the culture Of flowers and
the products of the garden.
This year, as formerly, the Lenox horse
show was held on the Belle Fontane farm
meadows the estate of Giraud Foster. The
location was in the centre of the region of
exhibitors, near the estates Of Captain John
s. Barnes. Samuel rockingham, John Z.
Alexandra and Charles L4anier leading
members of the Berkshire Hunt, under
whose auspices 1t was held.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel rockingham gave
the farmers breakfast" at Overlee. Mr..
and Mrs. Giraud Foster have hitherto been
host and hostess for the Berkshire Hills
farmers and their wives az this annual en-
tertainment, but because of Mr.. Foster S
health, which has precluded any entertain
ments al Bellefontaine this season, the
breakfast was given by Mr.. and Mrs.
rockingham, Mr.. rockingham being the
treasurer of the hunt
There were about fifty at the breakfast

everywhere will respond to the call and
furnish the additional funds needed to
carry on the work
Next TO the organization OF the finances
VIII come, believe, the organization of a
bureau OF education. Under this depart-
ment will come a wider use OF the ex-
change system for sending professors he
tween American and European universities
each year. Under a proper working of
SUCH q system, professors, instructors and
even school teachers could be exchanged
between the nations of the globe and be-
tween the educational institutions OF orr
own country and Of other countries, thus
welding the thoughts of all districts, terri
tories and nations.

to watch legislation and to work for a
gradual disarmament. Not only interna-
tional matters will come before these men,
but matters of national, state and even
local interest with legislative bearing on
the question will fall within the range of
their activity. Matters between countries
abroad will be scrutinized by these men
when the outcome might lead to hostilities.
Thus. in a kind of way, an international
police force of minds will be established,
just as, eventually, a national police force
of physical strength will take the place
of the present-day individual protection of
each nation.
There will. of course. be many other
departments. That first class men will be
needed goes without saying; that they
must determine to devote the remainder
of their lives to this movment at a good
living salary is essential. Above all of

was finally won. say those who remember
the agitation. by quieter methods than
those at present employed by Mrs. Pank-

largely due to the fact that the majority
OF men in New Zealand were quite willing
to accept the acknowledgements Of women
The vote was. in fact. won for the women

with so little opposition that it did not
