JUDITH GAP.
(Judith Gap Journal.)

" t'bitli NidP Jol'i idi.D
J. T. Carlson, rancher in this vi
cinity, had the misfortune yesterday
morning to get his hand caught in
binder Because of the badly crushed
member, he drove to the city and
caught the train to Great Falls, where
he will remain several days, receiving
medical attention. 1t is understood
that Mr.. Carlson will lose finger as
a result of the unfortunate accident.
The Journal man inadvertently
omits mentioning the serious accident
that befell Jack Davis, two weeks ago
today. While hunting, with COM
panions, near Garneill, Jack returned
from pond near the road, leaned
against the buggy, and held the gun
beside him. In some unknown man
ner one OF the berrels was discharged,
the shot nearly severing the thumb
and forefinger Of the left hand, and
grazed the left side OF his head, tear
ing one side OF his cap into shreds
and leaving a bad scalp wound He
was at once taken to Garneill, where
the professional services of DR.. J.
H. Betten were secured. The follow
ing day he left for Lewistown, re-
naming in that city several days,
under the care Of physicians. The
unfortunate accident resulted in Mr..
Davis losing his fore6nger and thumb.
l. N. Walker, of the firm of Small
& Walker, who makes his headquar-
ters at Great Falls, was city bust
ness visitor last Saturday and Sun
day Mr.. Walker expects large in
fux OF settlers this fall, and says that
the adverse season has been one Of
the best advertisement central Mon
tana has received, as there are few
localities favored with such crops as
have been here harvested.
The second annual celebration of
Judith Gaps birthday, opened yester-
day morning, under auspicious con-
ditions. The hundreds of people who
came to attend the celebration, COM
menced arriving in the city during
the early morning, and have since
been enjoying themselves with the
different entertainments provided.
Because Of the ideal weather and the
reputation that Judith Gap has to en-
tertain her guests, it is expected that
many more people will today swell
the already large crowd The ath-
letic and sport events take place this
afternoon.

offered for sale in different parts.
The price paid was $500 per acre
and the deal was negotiated by the
Western Land and Investment Co.,
OF this place. Another tract, recently
sold by this firm. was 800 acres OF
the Long tract. near Geyser. This
was purchased by Mrs. w. E. Nc
Coskey, who came here from the
Palouse country, in the state OF
Washington. She was very enthu-
siastic with the prospects in the Ju-
dith Basin, saying that it was equal,
if not superior, to the land in her
native state which finds ready market
at 800 to SlOO per acre. An especially
attractive feature that appealed to
Mrs. McCoskey is the alfalfa crop
harvested here every year. In Wash
ington it is necessary to resort to
irrigation to secure two crops of al
falfa in one year. When she was
shown a field Of the famous Judith
Basin product, whereon there was be-
ing cut the third crop this season,
without artificial water supply of any
kind, no further evidence of the pro-
ductiveness of the Judith Basin was
necessary

INSURGENCY WINS AGAIN,
Poindexter Carries State of Washing
ton by Big Vote,

Seattle, Sept. l3.-The insurgents
victory in the republican state pri-
maries election has exceeded all ex-
pectations. Miles Poindexter, OF Spo-
kane, one OF the most radical of the
congressional insurgents, has been
nominated for United States senator
by a plurality which his headquarters
in this city estimates at 10000 In
complete returns from Kings county,
the home Of Judge Thomas Burke,
point to a plurality of $500 for Poin-
dexter. 1t is likely that PoindeXter
has carried nearly every county in
the state, for all the returns thus far
received indicate an insurgent avail
anche.
National interest in the Washington
primaries was whetted by the effort
which President Taft made two
weeks ago. through Secretary Bal
linger, to concentrate the opposition
Of Mr.. Polndexter on one regular
candidate. The president obtained
the withdrawal of former Senator
John L. Wilson, OF Seattle, accord
ing to Mr.. Wilson's own withdrawal
notice, but James NJ. Ashton. of Ia
coma, and Thomas Burke, OF Seattle,
insisted on remaining in the race and
dividing the regular vote.
The balloting today shows that a
concentration OF the regulars would
not have changed the result.
Congressman William Humphrey,
Of the First (Seattle) district, ma
tlonal figure because Of his cham
pionship of the ship subsidy bill, is
evidently defeated by Thomas Re-
yelle, insurgent republican. In the
Spokane, or Third district, an in
surgent succeeds Miles Poindexter.
Adequate returns Of the Second or
Tacoma district on congressman have
not been received, but McCredie is
ahead on the partial returns.
Practically all the candidates for
the legislature are pledged to vote
for the candidate receiving the high
est vote, and there can be no fight
over the election Of Poindexter

men employed at No. 4 mine were
discharged yesterday morning in
celved III the city There seems to
be no general trouble or misunder-
standing between the .nine owners
and the workmen and the only rea-
son given for the lay off is state
ment made to the Tribune, by Super
intendent Millard, who, when asked
about the matter, replied, that the
men were not getting out enough
coal and until they showed DISPOSE
ton to do more work the mine would
be closed What the outcome OF the
shutdown will be is as yet prob
lematcal, and the report that there
was trouble between the mine and the
Workmen was emphatically denied by
one OF the employees, who stated to
the Tribune that there was no
trouble, that the mine had just closed
down temporarily and that all the
first OF next month, or as soon as the
scale Of wages, which is now being
adjusted at Billings, had been set

In speaking OF the matter yesterday
morning, Superintendent Woodard,
OF No. mine, said: I'VE are now
paying higher wages to the miners Of
Roundup than they are receiving any

paying all the business will stand.

be obliged to close down, or operated
at loss, and that we do not intend

INCREASE IN SALARIES.
County Officials Will Draw More
Money After First of the Year.

A few days ago the commissioners
of Fergus count held session
it was the first regular session in
September-and, after making an
examination Of the assessment books,
declared that the county would from
henceforth be known as county OF
the third class, instead of a fourth
class subdivision of the state.
The commissioners took this action
under the law, an act Of the legisla-
ture which designates the class Of
counties as based upon the assessed
valuation OF property in each. A
first-class county is one whose as
sessed valuation is $3O,OOO,OOO or over;
second-class is one having valua-
ton Of more than $20OOO,OOO and less
than $3O,OOO,OOO; third class, one hav-
ing valuation of more than $l5,-
100000 and less than $20,OOO,0OO, and
so on down until the eighth-class is
reached in county having an as
sessed valuation of less than $3,O00,-
600.
The action OF the commissioners
however, in raising the class of the
county, does not become effective at
once Under the law the government
OF counties remains the same until the
first Monday in January following
the change i'll classification. Things
will remain just as they are then, for
the present Effective the first Mon
day in 1911, the salaries of all but
one OF the county officers will be
raised and new officer, that Of
auditor, will be created. The only
office which is not raised Oh the pay
roll is that OF superintendent OF
schools.

salaries OF the various officers in
counties OF the third and fourth class,
respectively, and the amount Of in
