Chief interest with regard to The
opening of the session deals with The
question of who= will be elected sena-

democrats have a majority on joint
ballot of six. A number of contests
have been Instituted on each side, and
some fear Was expressed that the re-
publican majority in the senate would
unseat democrats and the democratic
majority in the house would retaliate.
Conservative men of. both. parties,
however, express themselves as being
opposed to the course, and at this time
it is not believed that the contests
will be taken seriously .-...... -.,r.

prominent Helena lawyer, and W. G.

to have pledges from more than a ma
jority of the democratic members.
Leading democrats are urging that

CHARCOAL FOR POULTRY

Me poultryman who keeps cbAseoaI
always before his fowls will saAs him
self a great deal of troubles Provided
he follows proper methods in other di-
rections. Charcoal has the power of
absorbing large quagtsties of gases
and neutralizing theif effects. When
fowls are given access to crushed
charcoal they will eat large quantities
of it and this not only absorbes and
neutralizes noxious gases in their
stomachs, but it seems to have ben
eficial effects in other directions Al
very good substitute for charcoal is
parched corn, which has been kept
over the fire until it is thoroughly
charred. The hens may not eat this
readily at first, but after they have
become accustomed to it they will eat

MR.. SPEAKER MCDOWELL
VISITS HAMILTON
THE GENTLEMAN FROM SILVER
BOW LOOKING AFTER POLIT-
ICAL FENCES. I

Hon. w. w. Mcdowell of Butte was
Hamilton visitor last night, leaving
for Stevensville on the early morning
train.
Mr.. Mcdowell was speaker! of the
Montana house of representatives in
the eleventh assembly and is an active
candidate for the same exalted position
in the twelfth assembly, which will
convene at Helena January 2.
Mr.. Mcdowell presided with fair
ness, and his affability gained him
many friends. Having very influential
backing it appears to be conceded that
Mr.. Mcdowell will be chosen speaker
of the twelfth, probably without op-
position. -r-..
Mr.. Mcdowell is a Tennessee demo-
crat, a partisan of the old school.
He is an old time friend of our towns
man, Mr.. w. T. Tyler, these gentle
men having been associated as en-
ployes of one of the leading banks
of Nashville for period of four years
and later in the general office of the
Anaconda Copper Mining company at
Anaconda.
In the course of a little chat last
night with a representative of The
Western News Mr.. Mcdowell said:
"Yes, l am looking after my fences
a little bit While l feel confident of
being chosen speaker my experience
in the political game has convinced
me that when you want anything the
proper thing to do is to keep going
after it until you land it.
"I anticipate quite a lively session
and expect to see considerable import
ant legislation disposed of. The dem
ocrats, especially should endeavor to
fulfill all party pledges.
81 hope to see the United States
senator elected as quickly as possible.
The democrats should get together and
elect some good square democrat and
be done with it. Tie people have
given us this great opportunity and
we should make good"

A dear old lady from Darby had
a distressing experience Tuesday even
ing. She came. to Hamilton to con-
suit her attorneys and, incidentally, to
see Joshua Simpkins."
After attending to her legal busin-
ess she returned to the lawyers Of
flee and sat down to rest awhile The
attorney, forgetful of her presence i'll
the adjoining room, left the office
about p. M, locking the door as he
went away. About ten o'clock that
night he had occasion to return to.'his
office and there he found the old lady;
a prisoner, enveloped in utter dark
ness. The office was provided with
a telephone and electric light, but it
developed that the old lady was m
accustomed to such modern conven-
iences" and did not know how to use
them.
And, worst of all, or possibly by a
rare stroke of good fortune, she had
missed seeing Joshua Simpkins."

MISS HARPER QUEEN
OF THE CARNIVAL
DRAMATICALLY CROWNED BY DIR.
BUCHEN-CARNIVAL GREAT
SUCCESS.
81 crown you queen of the ice car

81 crown you queen of the ice car
nival."
With these words, uttered with great
dramatic effect, DR.. F. E. Buchen
Wednesday evening placed upon the
brow of Miss Laura Harper the crown
designating her queen of the ice car
nival. The coronation took place
shortly after o'clock in an automo-
bile in front of the chamber of COM
-merce building. Three cheers for the
queen were then given, and the pro-
ecession to the rink began.
A long line of skaters, bearing il
Illuminated Japanese lanterns, marched
behind the automobile which carried
the king, the queen and Master Page
Fisk. The procession was headed by
the Hamilton band.
Miss Harper's election as queen was
by majority of 5,4O6. Her total vote
was 6,619. Miss Hork, her chief op-
ponent, received 1918 votes. The vote
.of other candidates was not increased
over that previously announced.

the A. c. M. company, and her can
'didacy was promoted by Manager J. E.
Totman, who proved himself
the champion vote rustler. Miss
Hork was the candidate of the Valley
Mercantile company, and was Loyalty
supported by the store employees.
The ice at the rink was not in ex-
'cellent condition, owing to a thaw
during the day, but the big crowd of
skaters made merry until late hour.
Many of them were masked, and the
rink, in the light of five electric arcs,
made festive scene.
Over $500 was raised by the carni-
val and contest. This will be devoted
to procuring a new baseball diamond
for next season.

men one hundred years ago.
He said the men of that time who were
