centers on couny division. The feel
ing against division is remarkably
strong, regardless of party afflia-
tons, and it is no exaggeration to
say that twenty-four out of every
twenty-five voters are against county
division. 1t is understood that this
sentiment is univeral and that other
portions OF the county are also op-
posed to change in the boundary
lines of Fergus county.
Once more the citizens Of Kendall
received news of the electric road
that is to be built between Kendall
and Lewistown, and this time the
news is authentic. Samuel w. Gebo
has recently returned from his we'd
ding trip in Europe, and gave out
the following statement upon his re-
turn "The electric road between
Lewistown and Kendall will be built
and work will be started in the spring
The surveys are all completed and
we will be able to push construction
rapidly. While in Holland recently,
I took up the financial end of the
enterprise and had no trouble in
financing the project. Mr.. Begeman,

some time in going over the ground
with me, familiarized himself thor

The News That This Producer Will

With Delight by Kendall.
POLITICS WARMING UP
Sentiment in Kendall Strong Against
County Division-Both Parties
Name Delegates.

"The Barnes-King starts next
week" This has been the main topic
of conversation in Kendall for several
days While nothing has been def
nitely learned, it is known that con-
tracts have been let for the hauling
Of one hundred tons OF coal. 1t is
also understood that A. L. Losinger
is to have charge of operations. Ger
tain it is that Mr.. Loslnger is now
on the grounds. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Losinger is a mining
man of wide experience, and that he
has been connected with several OF
the best known properties in this
county. His design and construction
OF the fine mill on the Whiskey gulch
property is hard to beat, and has
been commented favorably upon by
all who have seen it.

"White Sulphur Springs is going
to become one OF the greatest health
resorts in the United States. AS
quickly as the railroad is completed

These were the words of c.. w.
Morrow. head man of the milwaukee,

visitor to Lewstown last week. He
stated further that the Ringing Bros.

their hotel. This will be, by long
odds, the finest hostelry in the state,
and will cost not less than quarter
of a million dollars when finished.
Mr.. Morrow is now making ar
rangements to hold great lot sale
Of White Sulphur Springs realty, in
Helena, on the oath of the present

vertised and will probably be the
biggest auction sale OF town lots ever

who purchases lots will be given a
square deal, but that the elaborate

rehabilitation Of the famous old town

which are not cxcelled by any other
springs in the world, surrounded by
an immense country of wonderful

DEMONSTRATES THE
Campbell system
JOHN CLANCY THRESHES OUT
OVER FORTY BUSHELS TO
THE ACRE.

That there is merit in the Campbell
system of dry land farming was
amply demonstrated this year by Mr.
John Clancy, one of the pioneer
ranchers Of this section of Fergus
county.
Mr.. Clancy owns fine ranch a
short distance below Lewistown and
put in one hundred acres of wheat
last fall. He had been reading up
carefully on the Campbell system and
decided to give it thorough trial
He commenced to harrow his wheat
early in the spring after each hard
shower. The last time he narrowed
was in June when his wheat was at
least eight inches high Some of his
neighbors thought that he would ruin
the crop but negligible quantity OF
the grain was pulled up while none OF
it remained down longer than few
hours after he had gone over it with
the harrow. This was the third and
last going over.
Mr.. Clancy threshcd his crop last
week, and from the one hundred
acres, got something over four thou
sand bushels, or more than forty
bushels per acre The wheat is No
l and will command the top price.
Encouraged by his success, Mr.
CLANCY will get in about $50 acres
this fall and also expects to follow
out the same system adopted with
such notable success this season.

big National never faltercd and came
through in excellent shape.
Mr. Yaeger was again honored by
the Bankers Association, which re
elected the popular young Lcwistown
banker secretary treasurer for another
year. This is position which car
ries with it a great deal of respon-
sibility and the very efficient manner
in which Mr. Iaeger looked after
those duties during his first year in
the office made him the unanimous
choice for reelection.
The convention itself was one OF
the most interesting and successful
ever held in the state Not only were
the bankers of Montana there in
force, but there was an exceptionally
big representation from outside states
Some of the most prominent fnan-
ciers in the Northwest were present
and their addresses were all well
worth hearing.
