Miss Mabel Farmhouse of Dal-

of a delightfully."- spooky event
last evening, rendered by her sis
ter Mrs. h. Bruce Barnes, at their
home in northeast Snyder
The beautiful little home was
appropriately decorated with the
pumpkin lanterns, black cats, etc
suggestive of the mysterious spir-

close in places unsuspected.
Upon approaching the house,
the invited guests were quietly
and wierdly forced into the re-
ception hall by witches, whose
marvellous influence created no
hesitancy
To jump clear of the brooms
crossed in the doorway bespoke
fortune or good luck as it We're
and we all cleared the fatal OBJ
Struction.
Entering into the ghostly light
ed parlors the guests cautiously
mixed and mingled with guests
and spirits, tried fortunes in the
various ways and enjoyed de
lightful music by the hostess anc
others.
One unique feature Of the eve
ming was the search for fortune

LABOR UNIONS

Attorney Generals Office Con-
strues Law Bearing on Con-
tention Of Katy.

First Assistant Attorney Gen
eral. James ID. Walthall in an o.
pinion rendered recently in an
swer to F. H. Smith, representing
the metal trades unions of the M.
X. & T. railway that labor organi-
cations of the different states may
meet concurently with the rail
road company for the purpose Of
entering into labor contracts and
that the unions of the several
states may enter into the same /
IDENTICAL contract with the rail-
roads as a result Of the meeting.
However it is further held that
this contract is not binding upon
roads over the entire system but
that the contract will be binding
only in each state and that both
parties are responsible in that
state.
The same arrangement prevails
! in every other state, the contract
/ being made concurrently, but be-
ing binding on ly respectively so
far as different states are con-
cerned.
This opinion sustains the con
tention of the Hartman officials
who expressed a willingness to
confer with the divisions
of the Union with reference TO di
I visions of territory. but the strik-
ers demanded recognition of the
entire federation and it was on
that proposition that the confer
ees could not agree.

Considered With Sus-

BY Associated Press:
Pekin, Oct. 31,-The state Of
terror which holds a death grip
on the Imperial court was further
revealed today when another long
list of edicts were issued, supple
menting yesterdays remarkable
proclamation and offering further
concessions of most radical char
acter.
These movements Of surrender
of power indicate that although
the dynasty may survive, Man
chu rule in China is at an end and
that hereafter Manchus and Chi
nese will be considered on equal
civic footing.
Cabinet officers will be trans
ferred to native Chinese and the
Throne swcars that there shall be
no marks Of favoriteism against
natives. The system of Manchu
pensions win be discontinued.
The edict is written in the first
person as if it had come direct
from the infant emperor.
The rcvolutionists regard thes'
edicts without any signs of eX
travagant JOY and they declare
I that the partial surrender of the
/ dynasty has come too late.
They evidently diswust the

Investors Defrauded

The Whitetish correspondent to
the Great Falls Tribune has the fol-
lowing to say of investments made
in land at Jovita Heights. We re-
gret to learn that few people in
Malta also "bit.''
"a number of Whitefish people
were taken in by a land agent who
came here some time ago with land
drawing scheme. The Jovi ia
Heights, supposed to be adjacent to
Tacoma and with an in terurban line
running through it, was but the bait.
The land turned out to be more than
nine miles away and the interurban
line to be three miles instead of run
ming through it. The so called Jovi-
ia Heights are situated on an almost
inaccessible hill, and the land would
be worth practically nothing if put
on the local market. Thousands Of
people who were taken in by the land
being misrepresented are making a
holler for their money back, and the
land agents have been arrested. The
drawing was to come off a week ago
last Tuesday, and a delegate from
each town where people bit wa to
be present. A delegate went from
Whitefsh and returned saying it is
the biggest fraud that has ever been
worked on the people of Whitefsh."

Many Of the larger towns in the
valley would willingly have become
hostess to the visitors on that day
but happily Malta was given the
honor, and it is planned to celebrate
the day in manner fitting the i'm
portance OF the occasion. The peo-
pie comprising this party are partic-
ularly interested in the development
of Montana and want to get acquaint-
ed with the people that are forging
to the front in this great state.
With good crops assured the day
can be made to serve a double pur-
pose-a harvest festival and a gala day
to celebrate the stop-over of the tour
lists. So long as the program has on
ly been arran,ed for the afternoon,
and SO long as Malta did not cele-
brate the Fourth of July, all can
throw aside work and care and en-
JOY good time and meet the tour
lists. In the event Of bad weather
causinga delay in the time made by
the party. the celebration will be
held just the same.
The long line of automobiles will
make grand spectacular exhibition
if you care to see it be in town
(don't forget to bring the children)
when the autoists arrive. The spec
ial hotel train, furnished the tourists
by President Louis w. Hill OF the

Sportsmen's Meeting

If you are live sportsman you'll
be at the meeting to be held in Malta
Saturday evening, July Is, 1911, to
assist in organizing a Rod and Gun
Club, the name of which will be de-
termined at the meeting.
For years Lake Bowdoln has been
the Mecca for North Montana sports
men and when this organization is
perfected it will build Club House,
one and one-half miles from Strater,
on the west shore of Lake Bowdoin
for the accommodation of it's
members during the game season.
While there has been no written
grant for the use of the land from the
government yet there is an assurance
from those in authority that there
will be no objection to erecting this
hostelry for the members ofthe Club.
Harry Cosner, state deputy game
warden, has been instrumental in
arousing interest in the different
cities aud towns in the valley and
delegates are expected in large num-
bers at this meeting. From the will
ingness a petition was signed favor
ing the organization of the Club it is
safe to say there will be one hundred
charter members.
With the high gravelly raise at the
.tn,, n,,l ,ff hn lob NJ ri
by Club House, to be used as Il
hostelry for it's members, where the
musical mosquito will not be allowed
to enter, and where boats may be
pushed into the lake from a runway
that will be built, the time spent at
the lake will be much more enjoya-
BILE and the lake be more attractive
than ever.

Watch Malta Grow

Samples of beautiful Blue Stem
wheat, 40 inches tall, with good sized
heads partially developed. were
brought into town Monday by Geo.
Mann from the ranch of his brother,
VIM. II. Mann. Mr.. Mann is fortu-
nate enough to have 40 acres Of this
kind Of wheat and if the hot winds
do not come on before it is fully
matured the yield will be eXcep-
tionally large.
"Who says we can't raise fruit III
Montana" is what VIM. Mcclellan
said when we looked at a pailful of
large, rich red currants that were
grown in his garden. And not only
this pailful but the bushes have
yielded many gallons of as choice
currants as are ever grown anywhere
and without irrigation, too. The
bushes have only been out three or
four years but have been given good
care.
On an irrigated tract of land near
the Saco pit, II. &. Robinson has
some prize winning native Blue joint
grass, which from it's height would
make one believe he was "way down
in Colonel Green's meadow in old
Kentucky" BY actual measure
ment the stalks after being cured
were found to be As inches tall with
heads from 6 inches to a foot in
length. The land has only been ir-
rigated twice this season.
Nick Schmitz, one of the pion eer
farmers of this section, says that his
field crops, generally, look very good
and that his potatoes and corn are
putting forth magnificent growth.
Monday he brought some samples of
oats to town from his Beaver Greek
ranch which is partly irrigated. The
oats are heavy, large and strong,
with a multiplicity of heads nicely
filled out. From this variety two
years ago. Mr.. Schmitz harvested
two hundred sacks from four sacks
of seed and is about certain to get as
large percentage of gain this sea-
son.
