Last night at the Emmanuel Bap-
fist Church, the pastor, the Rev. Is.
Lacy Hoge registered a vigorous pro
test against the sale of liquor at the
State Fair. Mr.. Eoge said, in part;
The Christian people and ali others
who love right and hate wrong should
protest against the sale of liquor at
the State Fair for many reasons,
among which are the following:
Il. Because the sale Of liquor at
any time and at any place is wrong
and produces disorder and lawless-
ness and Injuries our citizens.
80 There is no possible chance to
do good by selling liquor at the fair,
but the chances are that much harm
will be Done and some lives ruined
for time and for eternity.
IS. The officers Of the fair are ask
ing the cooperation of the Christian
people and the citizens of the coun-
ties and cities that have voted out
LIQUOR. Therefore, their wishes should
be respected, and the sale Of liquor
prohi bited on the Fair Grounds when
It is well known that the sale of liquor
is of ensive to the very best citizens OF
our State.
-. Premiums are offered for many
things, but the officers of the fair
have not invited the liquor dealers tc
exhibit their finished product or Of
fered a premium on the most perfect
work of the liquor dealer The rea-
son for this omission is plain. The
directors OF the fair know that the
finished product OF the liquor business
is wrecked homes, starving mothers
and children, ruined men and wo-
men, gambling dens and houses OF
iil fame.
1.-THE president of the fair in a let
ter published some days ago said thai
the fair was for the education of the
people and to encourage them to oc
better work. We are anxious to see
advancement in all things that viii

Professor LinfieId.

Helena, Mont, Sept. 19.-An institu-
ton which will be maintained at the
Montana State Fair this year for the
hrst time is scientific bureau Of in
formation in charge of Professor f.
B. Linfield of the Montana Agricul-
tpral College. Here questions Of every
nature pertaining to the soil in every
section of Montana, and to the prod
ucts of those sections, will be an
sWered as applied to farming, stock
raising and other industries.
Professor Linfield is the director of
the State Experiment Station and is
without doubt the best informed man
regarding matters pertaining to farm
Ing in the state of Montana. He will
be at the bureau every day in person
from the hours of to 1890 a. NJ.
and the bureau at all times will be in
charge of capable assistants.
This bureau has been created par

To County Seat

John f. Trotter ranchman
who lives over on the Missouri
River in the extreme northwest
part Of Dawson county near tie
new post office of Antrim, was in
town last week arranging with
county officials for polling place
and school district in his neighbor-
hood.
In order to reach the county
seat Mr.. Trotter had to drive a
team 100 miles to Milestone, Mus
selshell county, a station on the
Milwaukee, thence by rail 100
miles to Giendive a total of 300
miles or $50 miles round trip be-
fore he reached home.
Truly this is a county Of distan-
ces and to come that far in YOUR
own county to transact official
business is, in the slang yernacul
ar, "going some"
Mr.. Trotter's ranch is on the
Missouri bottoms under the rim
rock and the onl y access to it from
this side is down a saddle horse
trail for the last four miles. Bv
crossing the river on skitf his
nearest trading point would be
Saco on the Great Northern, dis.
tance of 70 miles. He says his
part OF the county is the toughest
part of Dawson and will be about
the last to settle up, but great
many new settlers have been com
ing in this year. Mr.. Trotter was
formerly an Iowa achool master
but had lived in Montana about 10
years, He is a very pleasant and
entertaining gentleman tn meet. =

OF acres. This year it must be COM
puted by the hundreds of thousands
or acres. The production records of

helds yielded from ten bushels to the
acre up, and the prices which the
Montana grain commanded proved it

much sought by the Eastern oil fac
tories.
This year the management of the
Montana State Fair, which will be
held in Helena Sept. 23 to 28, is offer
Ing special inducements to the farm
