Chamber OF Commerce Notes.

The committees appointed to secure
SUBSCRIPTIONS for the celebration Of
the coming Of the Seaboard have all
been out working and report a cordial
reception by the business men of the
city. There were some knocks as had
been expected. These knockers can
see no reason for such a day. This
new line will open up a splendid trade
territory for Sumter and it is up to
the business men to go after this
trade. We want the people living
along this new line to come to Sumter
and to meet our business men. We
want them to know that we welcome
them here and that we will always
welcome them here. Cordial relations
we'll established will be sure to re-
suit in business.
The exact date for holding this
celebration has not yet been definitely
decided as the committee is waiting
on the railroad officials to determine
date that will be convenient for
them and as near the completion of
the road as possible.
semi-annual meeting and smok-
er of the entire membership OF the
Chamber Of Commerce will be held in
the Armory on the 10Th. 1t is ex-
pected that Mr.. Harold Weir who has
done great work for the various
State Chambers Of Commerce will ad-
dress the meeting on Chamber Of
Commerce work. The county corn
show will be held on the same day
when Professors English and Haddon
will be in the city to act as judges of
the corn. They have also been invited
to speak at the night meeting.
All Chamber of Commerce dues are
now due and must be paid to the
Treasurer. Mr.. McCallum or at the
Chamber Of Commerce. 1t is necessary
that these dues be paid before the
general meeting. The work Of the
Chamber is being handicapped for
lack of funds.

Affecting County Commissioners.

Proceedings have been instituted in
the supreme court by Attorney F. E.
Stranahau. of this city, to test the con
stitutionality of the Montana law
which provides that a vacancy IN q
board of county commissioners shall
be filled by appointment by the dis.
trict judge, for the unexpired term.
The purpose of the suit primarily is to
secure recognition of the three nomi.
nations for commissioners by the
Choutesu county democrat and pro-
pressives, but a decision in the matter
by the supreme court will also affect
the situation ir several other counties
where appointive members of boards
of commissioners are now holding
Office.
The Montana statutory law relating
to this subject is perfectly plain, but
1t is held by some legal authorities
that it conflicts with the constitution.
The latter provides for appointments
to fill vacancies In certain public Of.
fees, the appointments to hold good
until the next general election, but
the Office of county commissioner is
not specifically designated in this con-
nectiOn,

The Chouteau County Exhibit.

In q review of the attractive fea.
tnres of the state fair, and the dis.
plays of the agricultural products
from various counties, the Helena In
dependent says:
Chouteau county is. one of the best
and most productive counties in the
state, and in area Is fully as large as
most. It still is q producer of much
livestock but of late years farmers
have been settling in the valleys and
on the plains until Chouteau county
has become a great and Aourishing
agricultural region. 1t is called one
of the old counties and was named
after q of the early and sue
cessful fur traders on the upper Mis-.
souri,, Pierre Chouteau of St. Louis.
The exhibit of Chouteau county at
the state fair occupies q unique and
attr active corner in the big agricultu-
raj building, and is n of the most
attr active spots in that place. The
showing of corn and melons, to-
gether with vegetables and grains,
is most distinctively representative
They are all arranged in the most
pleasing manner, and are highly ap-
preciated for their excellence BY the
large number Of visitors who are at.
racted by the splendid display.
Those In charge are swift workmen,
for they got the exhibit together IN q
very short time after It arrived on the
grounds and are entitled to credit for
the very creditable manner in which Il
Wa accomplished.
