JUNGLE IRA" In FORSYTH TINES

One of the best efforts by a news
paper man in behalf of his community
is the publication of splendid month
ly magazine by Miles Romney of Ham
ilton in exploitation OF the Beauti-
full Bitter Root Country" Not only
has the Hamilton Commercial club
refused to take Single copy of Edi-
tor Romney's magazine, but it has
actually placed in circulation an in
ferior publication in competition.
The business men of Hamilton show
themselves a rather cheap lot, want
ing in gratitude, and lacking in ap-
probation of the proprieties. Would
MT they howl if Mr.. Romney, i'm con
nection with his weekly and monthly
papers, should conduct a department
store or become agent for one? TlUs
att Tempt of bunch of 'business men"
to butt into the publishing business
is the rankest deal a loyal country
newspaper man ever got It-it's-O
he'll. Words fail us!

Fields Being Harvested. Good
Yields Expected.

Much Of the winter wheat in this
section is being harvested. Young
McDonald's field of turkey red wheat
grown about mile ana a half from
town is being cut this week. The
wheat was grown on new ground and
certainly looks fine. The berries are
large and hard and conservative es-

than twenty bushels to the acre.
This crop was raised on McDonald's
homestead and Is but another example
of the kind of land Uncle Sam is CIV
ing away to the settlers.

CONTINUE TO SLASH
Prices on Groceries and Hardware.
Harlowton Grocery Company's
Sale Record Breaker.

The people of Harlowton and vici-
nifty are taking advantage of the clos
ing out sale of the Harlowton Grocery
Company. AS was said in another
issue, McQuitty Brothers are to en-
gage in another line and consequently
must get rid of their entire stock of
groceries and hardware before the
first of September.
The sale has been in progress since
the first of the month, but on account
of the large stock carried one can get
anything In the grocery or hardware
line at cost or less. Some of the bar
gains offered by them may be found
on another page OF this issue.

STATE FAIR PROGRAM
Announcement Made by the Secretary
Fifty Thousand New Set
tiers Since Last Year
Says Secretary.

Copies of the premiull list and pro-
gram OF the Mont ana state fair have
just been received in Harlowton The
book is well illustrated and the prem
lums cover wide range of products.
Interesting, indeed. are the remarks
which Secretary Martin Martin makes
as preface to the booklet. In it he
says:
Fifty thousand people added to
our population and nearly all of them
settlers on our soil is the record since
the Montana state fair was held last
September. Estimates based on
hgures for the most of the period
show that the influx of settlers has
been greater than ever before. Dur
ing the short period that the colon
lists rates obtained fully 1000 cars of
household goods and stock passed the
railroad transfers bound for the west.
This would point to possible addi-
tlon to the wealth of our state of over
100000. That this record will be
more than equalled in the next few
months is already assured. The last
state fair demonstrated that this is q
great agricultural state with wonder
full possibilities in all lines of produc
tion."
The aims and objects of the state
fair are set forth, the objects being.
briefly: o. to show the resources of
the state and their character: (2) to
measure the progress of the state wear
by year; 3) to educate the people: (4)
to acquainL people with the newest
and best in various industries: (5) to
advertise the state; (6) to stimulate
visitors and exhibitors to higher at
tainment in all lines of production.
After telling OF the value of the
state fair, the announcement makes
an appeal to the livestock men to
make exhibits. 1t continues:
Much attention is being given to
encourage increased exhibits in the
line Of livestock When livestock was
chiefly grown on the range, the in
ducemenls were not great to encour-
age exhibits. Range conditions are
intended to produce animals for the
market rather than for the show ring.
NOW that such production is gradual
ly shifting from the range it is only
fitting that these lines of production
should be encouraged as never before.
The Montana state fair of 1910
will unquestionably be the best that
has ever been held in the state. The
wonderful extension of the area that
will be put under crop the present
season assures such an exhibit, for it
will proport ionately increase not only
the counties exhibiting, but also the
number of exhibitors and the volume
of exhibits.
ut will prove greatly in the inter-
est of the state to have the best ex-
hibit that it can furnish the present
season, owing to the great influx of
settlers in the stale, a great many of
whom have as yet far too low con-
ception of what the state can do in
the line of agricultural production.
There is no denying the facts Of the
ocular demonstration furnished by
the exhibit. Patriotism, therefore,
as well as self interest, should stim-
ulate the farmers to encourage the
exhibit by coming TO it themselves,
and by sending forward to it the best
that they have been able to produce.

COMPLAINT IS MADE OF POOR CAR SER
VICE TO WORKINGMEN

Rock Island, Dec. 4.-Editor The
Argus: see by your paper praise for
the street car service Did you ever
get up early in the morning and take
a ride over the line, when the working
men were trying to get to work?
live in Rock Island and work in East
Moline. I get the 6 o'clock Blue car,
which lands me in Moline at $50 on
Thirteenth street and Fourth avenue.
Then l have two minutes to run from
there to Sixteenth street and Second
avenue, Moline Give blocks). There
are about twenty of us. We some
times catch the last car, and more Of
ten we don't.
Now what IS the sense of having
service like that, when they could run
the first trip to Fifteenth street, as
