INTERESTING DARBY LETTER.

Darby, March 22,-This always
prosperous community is experiencing
an unusually animated season, caused
partially by the numerous real estate
deals which have been consumna tied
| recently. Greatly advanced prices
have been the rule in every instance.
Land which few years ago could
have been bought for SIS to $35 per
acre has been sold at $75 to $125. Ow-
ing TO the large number of men and
dams, and the Como Land & Orchard
Co. pushing improy ements on their
property and employing a large num-
Der of laborers and teams, there is
ready market at good figures for ranch
and garden products.
Since the raising of the diphtheria
quarantine, which was enforced by
the county physician, our ladies are
blooming into life even faster than
the sweet little buttercups which are
plentiful now all over the hills. The
pai dSliCNGllCul So ldI was the
forming of a circle of the ladies of the
G., A. K. Mrs. Phil Bother, state or
ganizer for the order, came here two
weeks ago and started to form an or
ganization. With the assistance of
the q. a. h. comrades and others she
was successful, and a circle of the la
dies of the G.. A. X. was installed FRI
day, March 10, with 40 members. 1t
is known as Mckinley Circle No. 6.
The officers are Mrs. B. N. Beebe,
president; Mrs. Hilda Laird, senior
vice president; Mrs. Hester Miles,
junior vice president; Mrs. Sarah
Williamson, treasurer; Mrs. Jane
Wilkerson, chaplain; Mrs. Emma Will
hanson, conductress; Mrs. Arazanda
Shelton, guard, and Miss Floss Ker-
lee, musician. Mrs. Shelton and Mrs.

WILL VISIT A-YUKON-PACIF-
&c EXPOSITION IN JUNE.
GUESTS OF WESTERN NEWS
Attractive Trip Planned for Three Most
Popular Young Ladies Living in
Ravalli County.

Three young ladies living in Ra valli
county are going to attend the Alaska
Yukon-Pacitic exposition at Seattle
this summer as the guests of The West
ern News. BY special arrangement
which this paper has made, they will
also be the guests of the exposition
management, and will spend a week
at the fair with guide at their dis
posal, with free access to every
amusement resort in the city, and with
unusual courtesles extended on every
hand. This is an unusually big under
taking for a weekly paper, but The
Western News is desirous of greatly
extending it's subscription list, and
will carry it through to the letter.
On page2 will be found the rules
and conditions governing the contest
1t is proposed to send the three young
ladies who secure the largest mum Der
of subscriptions to The Western News.
In contest where three can win it
should be an easy matter for any girl
who really desires to do so to go on
this delightful trip. The contest will
last until June Is, and a little time
spent each day will suffice to achieve
the distinction, for it is a distinction
to be chosen in popularity contest by
your friends.
Contests are sometimes regarded as
"money making schemes and to
avoid this suspicion this paper pur.
posely made this liberal offer. No one
who computes the expense of the
undertaking can regard this contest
as graft. 1t is launched for the pur-
pose of securing new subscribers, and
if that is accom- plished the cost is
MINOR consideration.
1t is quite an easy matter to get sub.
scrlbers for The Western News. and is.
therefore, easy to win the trip. All
that is necessary is the desire and the
determination. The contestants who
enter the race first have a big advan-
tage, for they get subscribers whom
other girls would get later. Send for
coupon blanks and receipt book, and
get busy. If you find man who does
not take The Western News, get his
subscription. If he does take il, get
him to pay up his back dues and
year or more in advance. See every
body; it makes no difference where
they live. Write your friends and
everybody else's friends. Call on
every body; don't wait for an intro

everybody you meet. Then in the hot
summer time when others who failed
to grasp this opportunity are remain-

GOVERNOR NORRIS AND PRESIDENT
TEIDT TO APPOINT INSPECTOR.
MENACE TO FRUIT INDUSTRY
Law to Be Vigorously Enforced---Co-
Operation of Orchardists Invited in
Important Work.

President w. J. Teidt of the state
board Of horticulture returned Thurs
day from Helena, where he attended a
meeting of the state board called by
Governor Norris to consider the hor-
| ticultural situation. Upon examina-
tion by the governor it developed that
senate bill 113, creating commission
er of horticulture, had been rendered
imperative by the omission of amend
ments through a clerical error, and,
| accordingly, after advising with the
| board, the executive vetoed the bill.
Discussing the situation yesterday
Mr.. Tedt said: "The old board,
which continues in existence, will
carry on the work to the best of its
ability. A vigorous campaign against
insect pests, both in the orchard and
conveyed in nursery stock, will be con-
Quoted. To this end an inspector at
large, who will make headquarters at
Missoula and perform practically the
same duties as the commissioner
would have performed, will be ap-
pointed. The board authorized Gov
ernor Norris and myself to select the
man and we will spare no effort to Sc
cure the most competent person pos
sible. Ample appropriations were
provided by the legislature and we
will go ahead and conduct as effective
a campaign as possible.
'The inspector will visit every
! orchard in the state if possible. The
law will be rigidly enforced. Under
the law it is misdemeanor punishable
by minimum fine of S25 to permit n
orchard to become infested with insect
pests. We invite the cooperation of
all orchardists and hope to stamp out
the insect pests, which are already a
menace to the fruit industry, this year
if possible.

c. M. ALLEN INSPECTS THEM AND
CONDEMNS KNOCKERS.
He CALLS THEM PILEOR|vERS
The Construction Work is SplendidIy
Done and Exceptionally Solid
and Substantial.

c. M. Alien, the we'll known or
chardlst OF LoLo, whose ranch lies on
the river bottom and who had heard
the reports that are being so freely
circulated as to the character of the
construction work on the Como reser-
voir dam and the big canal being con-
structed by the Bitter Root Valley Ir-
rlgatlon company, visited the scene of
the work for his own satisfaction last
week. The construction of the dam
is being supervised by a commission
consisting of the state engineer and
other prominent engineers.
In an interview published in Satur-
days Missoulian Mr.. Allen vigorously
condemns the knockers who are con-
tinually hammering this company,
which has already expended over
$1,000, 900 in the Bitter Root valley, is
reclaiming 10000 acres of formerly
worthless arid land, has already ad-
vertised this valley throughout the
world as no other section was ever ad-
vertised before in the same length of
time, and which has resulted in dou-
bling and quadrupling the price of
every acre of land in the valley.
The Missoulian quotes Mr.. Allen as
follows:
81 felt that if there was anything as
seriously wrong with the work as
these pile drivers say there is 1 would
like to know it; it is necessary for the
safety of the valley that the correct
information be obtained. So, on my
own responsibility, I went to the dam
and l went along the bitches.
II want to say to you that the COM
pany's bitches are better built than
any other in the valley; that the work
has been spleudidly done and that
canals and fumes and trestles are
good and substantial. The criticism
OF the dam which has been made is en-
tirely without warrant. looked over
the structure and made an examina-
tion that was more than ordinarily
careful and thorough. The dam is all
right. The ditch people are carrying
on their work on good lines; it is being
thoroughly done; the dam is solid and
substantial"

CELEBRATED ART EXHIBIT TO
Be SHOWN At HIGH SCHOOL

Beginning Thursday, April /, the
famous Horace K. Turner travelling
art exhibit will be shown at the high
school building for three days for the
benefit of high school picture fund
The exhibit comprises many famous
pictures which every lover of art
should see, for the opportunity to view

to raise fund with which to pur-
chase pictures for the high school.
Tickets emitting the purchaser to
view the exhibit will be sold by the
school children for 25c each. The
money from the sale of tickets, what
ever the amount, will be expended for
pictures, and these will be used to
decorate the walls of the school
rooms.
The purpose is laudable one, and
Professor Williams in promoting it
has given an opportunity for Hamil-
ton people to view collection of pic
lures of rare beauty and value Those
interested in the high school, and
they are everybody, will 10 doubt
sieze upon this opportunity to view
this collection of celebrated paintings,
and at the same time assist IN provid-
ing pictures which will brighten the
rooms with inspiring scenes.

SENSATIONAL DISCLOSURE FOL-
LOWS RAID ON GAMBLING DEN.
AND AN ALDERMAN COMPL PLA|NS
Manager Roman of Southern Saloon
Arrested---Released on $1,000 Bail
1.-The Star Witness.

Arthur Roman, manager of the
Southern saloon, was arrested Sun
day charged with violating the gam
bling law. The complaint was sworn
out by Alderman j. O. Lage rquist.
Roman was arranged before Justice
Whaley and his hearinng was set for
Wednesday March 81. He was re-
leased upon furnishing bail in the
sum of 81, 900.
According to Lagerquist's statement
he went into the saloon in quest of
City Attorney c. S. Wagner. He
found Wagner in the card room play
ing poker. He sat in the game for a
"few hands, 'after which he and Wag-
ner went out to the bar and called for
a drink. The bartender was busy
waiting on other customers and did
not wait upon them as promptly as
they thought he should, which led
to an alteration, as a result of which
Lagerquist immediately called upon
County Attorney McCulloch and swore
out the complaint.
The hearing is expected to result in
some sensational disc closures, particu-
larly in view of the fact that City At
torney Wagner will be the star wit
ness. He was appointed by Mayor
Drinkenberg, who is popularity sup
posed to be conducting a reform" ad.
ministration, and it is the duty of
the City attorney to enforce the law.
