HELENA Mont, Dec 1s.-The build
ing of a railroad in the Fergus county
is responsible for the passing Of one
of the most picturesque names known
to Montana history. It is that of Ubet,
a stage station which for many years
has been one Of the most important over
land divisions in the state. 1t is To-
Gated in the Judith Gap, and made a
convenient halfway place between
Great Falls and Lcwistown. This stage
line was abandoned on the first OF the
year, and simultaneously came q change
in name. the new Hill railroad calling
ii Judith Gap, The postoffice depart,
ment has also made an order changing
the name from TIBET to Judith Gap.
How 1t Came TO Be Named.
An interesting story is told in con
nection with the name Of TIBET. 1t is
related that in the early days when
former United States Senator Wilbur
=. Sanders was candidate for congress,
this camp which mp TO that time had
no particular name. nor was il a post
Office, was visited by him. on his cam
paIgn tour. Driving NJ TO the hotel,
ne Informed three habitues sitting on
the front porch that he was Repub
lican candidate for congress and asked
them if they would note for him Not
by Id sight came the prompt re.
Spouse from all there.
This rather startling response amazed
Sanders, and he concluded to pry deeper
into the situation. He asked them II
he should prove TO their satisfaction
that he would make an able represen-
tatIve and bring about results highly
pleasing to that section Of the state,
would they vote for him. and the Same
response greeted his ears
Becoming angered Sanders then ask.
vote for him. only TO receive the same
reply. He then determined to resort
to strategy and propounded this query.
' have n jug of very fine Kentucky
whisky with me, Will you gentlemen
join?'
"Ubet,h came the response,
''Not by id sight" responded
Sanders, urging his horse into trot.
In Honor of Sanders.
This dialogue received not n little
attention in the press Of the state, and
when it came TO selecting n name for
the stage station. which in the mean
time had assumed greater proportions,
former Governor Potts recommended
that it be named TIBET, in honor of
Sanders. The action OF the postoffice
department in changing the name has
aroused not n little resentment on the
part of some newspapers. local paper
publishes n poem written by VIII
Aiken, private secretary to Governor
Norris, which we'll voices the sentiment
even in this distant community. 1t is
as follows.

j. Edward Taylor, state horticultural
inspector, who has had charge Of the
Utah exhibit at the United States Land
and Irrigation exposition in Chicago,
returned to Salt Lake City Saturday
morning. He speaks enthusiastically
of the showing made by the Utah eX-
hibit, especially in the line of fruit,
which he said compared with the best
that was shown from other states, many
of which have been producing fruit for
many more years than Utah.
''Ctah never made an. exhibit whore
the superior quality of her agricultural
and horticultural resources were so well
demonstrated as at the recent expo
sition,' said Mr.. Taylor. "The expo
sition was probably the most success
full land show ever held in the United
States, both on account of the magni-
tudc Of the exhibit itself and on ac.
count of the number of states repre-
sentcd Practically every state in the
United States was represented.
The superiority Of the products of
the irrigated west over the more humid
east and south was plainly visible. The
fact that Utah S products are of the
highest rank among those Of irrigated
states was also plainly demonstrated

lures on Utah were given by DR.. E.
d. Ball, director Of the Utah expert

"The exhibit from Utah was very
general and showed variety OF prod
ucts which few states OF the union can
produce. Grains and grasses. vege.
tables, sugar, honey, fruits of all kinds,
fresh, canned and dried, nuts. and
trophy cups. IT was by far the best
showing of apples that Utah has ever
made; in fact, the first time Utah
has made very extensive. box cxhibi-
ton. The uniform size, color and flavor
of the apples was revelation to those
who thought the northwest (Hood
river) was the apple section Of the
United States. And there were no
worms in the Utah apples Out of the
100 boxes of apples that were used, not
one single worm appeared. Utah grow

The choice Of Chicago as a place for
holding the exposition seemed wise also,
inasmuch as the place is the center Of
activity for western immigration
"Many farmers through the middle
east are looking for farms in the irri-
gated west, where the crops are more
certain and tho climate less severe.
People Of moderate circumstances in
the congested cities are looking for
homes where there is more opportunity
for themselves and families. The ex-
hlbit did much to bring Utah to the
attention Of these people.
''The large financial interests of Chi
cago are being attracted to the west
by irrigation investments. and men of
that class were frequent visitors to
the Utah booth.
"The manager Of one of the largest
department stores of Chicago was at
