six o'clock Monday morning, to ex-
tinguish blaze in the barn belong
ing to John Williams. The blaze
had too much headway. however,
and although streams of water were
soon playing on it, the structure was
practically consumed. A. L. Brig

loss is quite heavy, the property
destroyed including several tons Of
hay, road cart, harness and saddle,
etc. The origin of the fire has not
been discovered. Although the
weather was very cold. the fire de-
partment made very quick time in

Eple present from the s'Treas1r re

at the New York show about Mon
tana and its resources. Don't let Us
make the same mistake at the ST.

Every energy and effort is being
put forth to make the Dawson coun-
ty exhibit at st. Paul one worthy
of the county. When this is done
the same effort will be directed to-
wards the development of the re-

interests and the territory which is
under the ditch, will receive atten-
ton and the we'll directed work

important resources OF. the county.
The League is not temporary
organization. Already sufficient
number of men have expressed their
approval Of the movement, not in
words only. but in substantial cash
donations which insure the con-
tinuance Of the League and the OBJ
jects for which it was organized.
In order to get ready for the st.
Paul show it was necessary to rush
the preliminary organization, but
between now and 9Th of January
careful considera ton will be given
to the Leagues organization. All
the people of the county who are
members of the League will have a
voice and vote III the selection of
the new officers to be selected on
that date. No citizen of Dawson
county, who has the interests Of the
county at heart, can oford not to-
become member Of the Dawson
County Development League. The
membership fee is s1.0o and appli-
cations for membership can be made
to the nearest member of your
executive committee.

The painting and decorating in the
new county Jail is rapidly nearing
completion, and gives a fitting
splendor to the otherwise gloomy
surroundings of the public prison.
Installation Of more furniture will
shortly be in order. and when this
has been done, Dawson county will
have one Of the most completely
fitted jails in the state, and one that
will easily hold all the bad men
that wander this way. Jailer Brig
ham is justly proud Of the new
struc ture, and the liberality of the
county commissioners in providing
amply for every detail. The auto
matte working Of thecell doors is a
revelation in mechanical ingenuity
as noted in present day public
institutions.

from twenty creameries in Montana
met here for the purpose Of protest.
ing against the recently promulgat-
ed regulations Of the state board of
health. issued in compliance with
the pure food law passed BY the
state legislature.
At the meeting steps were taken
to form a state association and it
was recommended that county asso-
Citations be formed The regulations
objected to were issued to cover
dairles, but are so drastic in their
provisions that the creamery men
present declared that if they were
enforced they would prevent the
farmers from milking their own
cows. and that as result every
creamery in the state would have to
close.
Numerous suggested amendments
to the regulations were adopted and
to a committee for presen-
