THE NEW YEAR,

The advent of the year 1910 is vel.
coined by the citizens of northern
Montana, with the hope and expecta.
ton that it will be q red letter year in
the growth and development of this
part of the state. This view of the
stu alton is encouraged by q fortunate
combin alton of conditions that made
the past year a season of plenty and
prosperity in all branches of indus
trial endesvor, and the impetus thus
given to the activities of progressive
citizens promises to continue through.
out and beyond the twelve.month pc.
Rod upon which we now enter.
The record of development in north
ern Montana during the past year is
q story that cannot be told in all its
detsils. but q hasty glance over the
more important incidents confirms the
general belief that 1t largely excels
the record of any former year in this
respect. During the thirty years in
which the River Press has attempted
to preserve in print q record of devel.
opments in agriculture, the livestock
industry and other pursuits in which
northern Montana citizens have been
engaged, there is no period that COM
pares in interest, and significance as
to its influence upon the future, with
the record of the past year.
The new conditions that are devel-
oping will surely result in benefit to
the community at large, and should
be welcomed by interests that will be
compelled to adjust themselves to new
surroundings. The settlement of
northern Montana by q large number
Of thrifty and industrious newcomers

ducing capacity Of the commonwealth,

ces to live assets that will infuse new
blood and energy into business circles
in this part of the state.
It is an act of good citizenship to
extend the hand of welcome and
words of good cheer and encourage
ment to newcomers who propose to
make their homes with us. They will
be factors In the upbuilding Of the
state. In the work of establishing
homes and cultivating Montana soil,
these new citizens will perform as
great q service to the commonwealth
rs was rendered by old-time residents
and the Montana pioneers whomS we
all delight to honor.
We are assured by agricultural ex.
perts that the Montana soil and eli.
matte conditions are favorable to the
production of various kinds of farm
crops to which little attention has
heretofore been given. The exploita.
ton of these has only just
commenced, but the coming year
promises to witness remarkable pro-
gress along these lines. 1t is in this
connection, principally, and in the
business conditions associated with
this endeavor, that the year 1910
promises to be q red.letter year in
the history of northern MOntaua.

ARE WILLING TO ADMIT
BROWN WAS IN RACE.
Though HOke Smith Was
Nominated.
The Charges of Tom
Watson Denied BY
Men Who Controlled
Late Convention.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)


Atlanta, Ca, October 1.-TLe me-
who were in charge of the state dem
ocratic convention declare that Thos
E. Watson's charge that the conven-
ton journals fail to show the nomina
ton of Hoke Smitb for governor {
absolutely futile.
They declare that Hoke Smith was
formally nominated by the large ma,
jority Of the county vote and that
every county present was given an
absolutely fair opportunity to cast its
vote for Hoke Smith or Brown as its
delegates desired
1t is pointed out that fewer Brow
votes than Brown was entitled Wern
cast, not because the convention rt
fused to allow the Brown people t.
vote, but because many Brown coun-
ties failed to send delegates, and that
many Brown delegations refused to
vote.
The records Of the convention not
only show that Hoke Smith was nom
mated, but show that Brown was yo.
ed for by all those who were there
to vote for him, and that TIE Brown
votes were properly checked up.
