Bigger and better displays are
being provided for and more of
the farming districts will be re-
presented than at any State Expo
sition of the past. The re-arrange-
ment of the buildings, which work
is now under way, gives a greater
allotment of space to the agri
culture exhibits which will be
featured so as to attract, not only
state wide attention, but command
a firmer appreciation of Montana's
agricultural possibilities from the
country at large.

Twenty Crews
In the Field
Sixty.one townships Already
Surveyed This Season. Work
Means Much to Counties in
Eastern Montana.

Approximately three and one.
half million acres of public land
and railroad land will be surveyed
in Montana this year by the gov
ernment. Twenty survey parties
are now in the field in all parts of
the state, and they will remain at
work until snow flies. Had it been
possible to secure engineers to take
charge of parties, more crews
would have been put in the field.
The change made in the method
of surveying public and railroad
grant lands last year is proving
most satisfactory, and better re-
suits are accomplished, it is said,
than under the former methods of
awarding contracts to engineers to
do the work. Headquarters of
the field service are maintained at
Helena, and the surveying is being
done under the supervision of j. S.
Harrison, assistant supervisor of
surveys with headquarters at
Helena.
| WORK ALREADY DONE
Already this season up to Aug.
1, 81 townships, each containing
approximately $4,000 acres or a
total of 100000 acres have been
surveyed and it is estimated that
during the months of August, Sep
tember and October at least one
and a half times more land can be
surveyed, making {, total record
for the season of 3,5O7.5OO acres.
This land lies in every part of
Montana and is diverse in charac
ter. Some is classified as timber
land, some as grazing and scme as
agricultural in character.
In Valley county. up to August
1. seven townships have been sur
veyed this year; IA in Chouteau
county, II in Dawson county, 8 in
Fergus county, II in Custer coun.
| ty, 2 Yellowstone county, 2 in
Sweet Grass county, 2 in Meagher
county, 3 in Flathead county.
BENEFITS THE STATE
The plating of this land will be
of inestimable benefit to Montana,
and particular to the dry land
counties of eastern Montana, as it
will open to entry thousands of
acres of land which heretofore
have been part of the open range.
Edward Jessop of the surveyor

promoted to the position of finan-
cial clerk, succeeding w. A.

Monday it became violation of
the law for any person or persons,
firm or copartnership, corporation
or association of persons engaged
in trade of buying or selling, pur-
chasing or disposing of or dealing
in any merchandise or commodities
to any person or persons in the
state of Montana without first

the inspection and sealing of

declares the secretary of state to
be ex-officio state sealer of weights
and measures and gives him power
to appoint two deputy state sealers
of weights and measures, and the
law also makes county clerks of all
counties and city inspectors deputy
sealers. Annual inspection of
weights and measures is enjoined
upon the state sealer and his
deputies. Persons using weights
and measures or scales after Aug.
1, which have not been tested are
liable to fine of $25 to $500, and
a second offence is punishable by a
fine of from $1OO to $500.
Between January I and March l
of each year merchants may pre-
sent their measures or scales at
the deputy sealer of weights and
measures of the county or city
for sealing. After March 1, it is
made the duty of deputy sealers to
visit the places of business of mer-
chants and try, adjust and seal
the weights and measures. Every
six months the sealers shall adjust
and seal every hay scale, wagon
scale railroad track or platform
scale. The deputy sealers are
given authority to test at any time
without warrant any scales or
measures of any dealers and to
test articles on sale for correct
measure, weight or count.

sKUN AclN!

Oh the sun was slowly setting
Ger city far away.
Filling all the land with landscapes
At the closing of the day.
ShrOuded in the sOmber shadows
OF the buildings grim and tall,
Surged and swayed mighty concourse,
Torn by anguish, one and all
Oh the air of agitation!
Oh, the horrifying hush!
Oh, the depth of desperation
Pictured on each palld mush!
Far aloft upon a scaffold
Looms figure grim, sedate,
Slowly, limning rows OF numbers
Freighed with peoples fate.
Thrice ten thousand eyes are on him.
Thrice ten thousand hearts are stilled,
AS he blazons forth the tdings
That enchain them, thralled and thrilled.
Comes there now gleam of gladness,
Comes anon trembling prayer;
Now a Joy akin to madness,
Now the depths of black despair,
Hush! There comes one awful instant
Ere the final word is writ:
Oh the anguish of that moment!
Oh, the dread suspense of it!
BAN! There comes the final figure,
'Tis a cipher sure as fate,
And frantic shrek of frenzy
Makes the air reverberate,
Rocks the buildings to their center,
browns the citys raucous din,
AS the cry goes rolling skyward
Darn them dubs, they've lost agin!''

BRITISH CLAIMANTS" AGAIN
ASKING FOR A HEARING

him, so far as he may with official
propriety, an early consideration OF
the matter.
Speaker Holstein promptly referred
the resolution to the military COM
mittee.
The claims grew out of the attempt
ed revolution of 1895, when the late
R. w. Wilcox led a rebellion against
the government of the Republic of
Hawaii. A number of resident alien
residents, mostly British subjects,
were confined in Oahu Jail on suspi-
cion of having to do with the Wilcox
plot to restore the monarchy, and some
were exiled. After being released, un-
convicted of any offense, those who
had been imprisoned made claims
against the government. The aliens
made their claims through their own
governments, and when annexation
took place the United States govern
ment assumed the responsibility of
Jne IOrmeT HAWAIIAN government III
the matter. The claims have been
pending ever since. A number of the
claimants have died. 1t was report
ed a couple of years ago that the
claims were to be adjudicated as far
as the British government was con-
cerned at the same time as the New
foundland fisheries claims, but the
latter were disposed of some time ago.
Among the claimants are Fred Har-
rison, F. H. Redward, A. P. Peterson,
George Lycurgus and E. S. Norrie,
the two last named being claimants
through the Greek and Danish gov
ernments.

In the House yesterday afternoon
Representative Fernandez brought up
the so-called British claims, growing
out of arrests of aliens during mar
tial law in 1895. 1t mentions that
"the failure to settle such claims has
prevented some of the claimants from
carrying out long cherished wishes to
become citizens of the United States
and Of the Territory of Hawaii, be-
cause of their apprehension that such
change of citizenship might affect
them to their detriment in the further
prosecution of their said claims" also
refers to the appropriation of money
made by the present legislature to
repay a fine collected from a citizen
of the Territory in 1895 on "convic-
ton Of an offense similar to those in
respect to which said claimants with
out conviction, trial or formal charge
were imprisoned and, in several in
stances, exiled for considerable
periods of time," and says that "all
other matters and controversies grow
ing out of the insurrection of 1895
against the Republic of Hawaii have
been satisfactorily and tremendously
adjusted and settled"
1t is resolved that the legislature
of the Territory of Hawaii respect
fully call the attention of the depart
ment of state to these long pending
claims, and urge that some disposi-
ton of them be made, in order that
the injustice of further delay be avoid
ed" and that the Governor be request

ARMY AND NAVY

The sudden rise of Western village
or miners camp, is suggested by the
quick work that has been accomplish
ed at the I.eilehua reservation. Where
land, beyond the pineapple plantations
and Pearl Harbor, lying at the "Great
Divide" in the range of mountains
along the base of the tall hills, can
now be seen city of troops contain
ing today almost thirteen hundred
souls.
Capt. Moor N. Falls, United States
army, is responsible for the accurate
and timely completion of this vast
undertaking of properly and comfort
ably housing two-thirds of a regiment
on short notice The distance of TWEEN
ty-seven miles to this Schofield Bar
racks has not lessened the labor of
reaching the working line, or of the
transportation of building material. All
obstacles, however, have been bravely
overcome.
With the arrival today of the two
battalions of the Second Infantry their
future station at the Leilehua reserva-
ton needed only their presence to COM
plete the brigade post.
A total of eighty-five buildings have
been erected for the exclusive use
of the first and second battalions of
the Second Infantry AS at all brigade
posts the plan is to have the separate
garrisons, inhabited by a certain
squadron of cavalry, a regiment of
infantry, battalion from the signal
corps, batteries of artillery and rep
resentatives from the medical depart
ment, all complete and separate with
in themselves and still only branches
of the grand working plan of com
plete brigade post
The officers quarters for the new in
fantry garrison are built exactly like
the quarters now occupied by the line
of the Fifth Cavalry at Schofeld Bar
racks. They consist of three bed
rooms, front hall or reception room,
diningroom with kitchen and servants
apartments detached at the rear. The
houses are all of frame with shingled
roofs, which will make them cooler.
/ The barrack buildings are equally
comfortable, made to accommodate a
company each.
The infantry post is located at a
pretty section of the reservation.
/ A Busy Officer.
The busy officer of the Second In
fantry arriving on the Crook; if one
officer is buster than another, is Cap
tain Benjamin Harrison Watkins, the
regimental quartermaster of the Sec
ond. Captain Watkins has proved his
ability to handle large propositions
and large amounts of government
property before, and this Tegimenta
move has added another merit to his
list
