them small farmers, big farmers, fruit
growers, state legislators, congress
men, United States senators, gov
ernors, official representatives of
Canada and countries beyond the seas
all with the idea Of giving some
thing in information and taking away
greater something in information.
1T is one of the greatest educational
movements of the age," commented
United States Senator Dixon.
The program that was to have had
its beginning at 2:30 yesterday after
noon was not carried out because of
unforeseen delays. 1t was to have been
centered in the exposition hall, but
because of the inability of prominent
speakers to reach here and the non
arrival of certain exhibits, the open
ing was postponed until $3.50 this
morning, by courtesy of the COM
mittee in charge. The program of
the day follows:
Despite the interruption in the pro-
gram yesterday, the time was well
occupied by the arriving guests, main
ly in renewing and Increasing ac-
quaintances, in exchanging expert

HE CORDIAL wind that blew
early yesterday morning was not
bringing in delegates, exhibitors,
auditors and spectators fast enough to
suit their desires to reach here, so a
gale was substituted and they came
in by thousands, and others are due
to arrive in further formidable num-
bers by all trains that reach the city
up to noon today, in lesser numbers
throughout the week.
A little iron gray man, who came
here twenty-seven years ago, when
Billings had it's birth, stood on a cor
ner for an hour last evening with
mouth unconsciously open. Never had
he seen such throngs within a given
space and never had he expected to
see Billings such a populous place.
This dry farmin'," he commented,
do beat all" and at that hour he had
not begun to see all.
The capacious hotels with which
Billings is equipped have been filled
to their capacity, the yards are filling
with Pullman and private cars occu-
pied by delegates and men Of railroad
and agricultural prominence, the
rooming houses have been filled and
the private dwellings, the doors OF
which have been thrown open by a
hospitable town folk, are filling.
Everyone seems to have obtained a
place of entertainment and to be we'll
satisfied with that place. Billings has
proved itself an able and gratifying
host
Men of national and international
prominence are among the guests as
sembled. Men who have brought forth
this dry farming idea from it's in
ception, men who have developed the
idea by practical use of the method
men who have contributed to the de-
velopment through publicity, through

ences, in perfecting exhibits and in
lobbying for the next congress. In
all of these things the board of con-
troll and the various committees that
radiate therefrom were active in ex-
tending the hospitable and helpful
hand in way that brought forth
grateful expressions from the visitors.
The headquarters of the congress
in the Orpheum building, presided
over by John T. Burns, secretary, and
George E. Swan, superintendent of the
press bureau, and occupied by large
number of clerks, was the mecca of
a stream of pilgrims bent on registra-
tion from early morning until late at
night. Here the accommodation COM
mittee has office, an office of impor-
tance at the moment that discounts
the proverbial land office. Registered
and safely housed the delegates made
straight for the exposition, there to
open eyes in astonishment and mouth
in expression of that astonishment.
Senator DixOn's Battle,
United States Senator Joseph NJ.
Dixon Of Montana is scheduled for an
address this morning, but he came
yesterday because he has a deep
rooted interest in agricultural devel-
opment here and elsewhere, but par
ticularly in the state, and regards dry
farming as one Of his pet hobbies.
II am naturally interested in dry
farming" he enthusiastically admitted
"I learned of it first in the house five
years ago in a hearing of a plan to
increase the area of homesteads in
western Nebraska to $40 acres. In
the winter of 1903 and 1904 l heard of
Campbell's production of crops on a
fifteen-inch rainfall. l concluded that
if the claim of Campbell was true it
would probably mean more for Mon
tana than all of the various plans we

velous development made in the last
decade in the cultivation of crops ON
semi-arid lands, the second annual ex-
hibit of the International Dry Farm
ing Exposition opened it's doors to
the public for short time yester-
day morning.
To the practical dry farmer, to the
man who las pinned his faith in his
ability to harvest crops ON lands above
the irrigation canals, the exhibit is but
the vindication OF his hopes, the crown
ing achievement of what has unques-
tionab1y been the most successful
year in the history cf the dry farm
ing movement; to the skeptic, to the
man not k owing and believing and

convinced in mind that the claims
made for dry farming have been most
fully substantiated and that new era
of prosperity is dawning upon the
west.
Words fail to adequately depict the
marvels that nature, aided by the
scientific cultivation of the soil and
the conservation Of moisture, has
brought forth from thse western
plains, which, less than 10 years ago,
were esteemed to be of no commercial
value other than as cattle and sheep
ranges. Where once the cattleman
and the fiockmaster held their. un-
disputed sway now waving fields of
grain are harvested, gardens filled
with practically every staple variety
of vegetable flourish, even orchards
bearing apples, pears and plums
thrive; and the cream of these many
products is now to be found assembled

Especial to The Gnnette.s


ASIN, Wyo., Oct. 25.-Today Judge
IN Parmelee sustained the motion
of the defense to quash in
dictments of the men charged with the
Spring Greek murder Practically all
forenoon had been spent in argument
and it was about 2:45 o'clock when
the court handed down an oral order
to quash the indictments. In doing
this the judge said the only serious
question to be considered In the plea
of abatement was that of exclusion of
a large number of names from the
list
The other questions set forth in
the plea merited little attention The
effort to show that there were no cat
tlemen en- the grand jury and that
no men from the east side of the river
had been chosen merited no atten-
ton as the defendants had no right
to have any particular class of men
chosen upon the jury. AS far as the
participation of Sheriff Alston in the

selection of jury list is concerned,
the judge declared there was abso-
lutely no proof that he did so. III
he had discussed the matter with the
commissioners 1t would not be unlaw-
full, as the commissioners had the
right to any information which they
might obtain and could get it from
any sources they saw fit to choose.
The only serious matter was wheth-
er the commissioners performed their
duty. 1t would seem that some OF
the members had given scant atten-
ton to the work and not to the extent
that they should and to the extent the
public had right to expect.
While the jury list contains con-
siderable number of names gone over
with reasonable care an equally large
number appears to have been left OF.
1t is a serious matter, the Judge said.

half of the qualified jurors. 1t was
quite clear that the jury list had
been tampered with. No proof had

The company, which has headquarters

A STRIKE IN OLD EGYPT.
There Was Trouble In the Building
Trade In Pharaoh's Day.

Egyptian history discloses the details.
of labor difficulty at Thebes in the
year 400 B. C. The strike was in the
building trades, and the strikers were
masons They were paid in rations,
and they claimed that these were in,
sufficient to sustain them and theiI
families until the following pay day
On the 10th of the month they laid
down their tools and gathered behind
a chapel We are hungry" they said
and there are eighteen days before
the next pay day They charged the
paymasters with dishonesty, saying
that they gave false measure The
paymasters charged the men with
want Of foresight in feasting too well
while the rations lasted.
After long discussion the men decid
ed To return 10 work on condition that
Pharaoh himself investigate the mat
ter Two days later Pharaoh came to
the temple and decided that the ma
sons should have their wages raised
at once. For a little while all went
well. but evidently the paymasters did
not live up to their agreement. for on
the 9Th of the next month the strike
was again in full force, and for three
whole days not tool was lifted
The strikers decided to go out TO the
public with their troubles, but they
found themselves locked In the temple
Then they broke out and rushed int
the streets, frightening pedestrians as
they paraded the thoroughfares
