Progressive Republicans
Control the Convention

The republicans of Meagher county
met at White Sulphur Springs last
Thursday morning and elected II del
egates to the state convention at
Great Falls, and nominated full
county ticket.
The fight throughout the county in
the primaries was whether or not the
Amalgamated Copper company,
through it's accredited agent, Senator
q. P. Tooley, should control the poll
tics of the county, or whether people
favorable to the taxpayers should
control. White Sulphur Springs.
Harlowton, Judith Gap, Bercaii, Cop
peropolis, Lennup and Fort Logan
sent progressive republicans to the
convention, while Hedgesville, Shaw
NUT, Nihill, Twodot. Martinsdale,
Dorsey, and one or two other pre-
cincts with one vote stood, by the
late boss Of county affairs. On one
vote the progressives had 81 to IL.
The working majority on any qnes-
tiOn was never less than II, and the
steam roller was used by the novices
in such smooth manner rs to meet
the entire approval Of such steam
roller artists as Tooley, Baxter ct al.
This year above all others the re-
publicans of Meagher county. as well
as in all other counties in the Nation,
wanted an opportunity to express
their preferences for the nominee for
president of the United States.
Meagher county is strongly progress
sive. The republican county central
committee, sent out notices in the
spring that there would lie conven-
tion and caucuses to select these del
egates to the Livingston convention.
You all know how this at the last
moment was frustrated by Tooley
and Baxter, who, fearing that pro-
Rressive delegates would be sent to
that convention, if caucuses were
held, gathered up sufficient proxies Of
commit eemen to control the COM
mittee, and on motion Mr.. To0ley,
who was q member of the committee
by u proxy. these delegates were Sc
lected by Mr.. Tooley himself. care
fully handpicked. The steam roller
he used on that occasion was brought
forth last Thursday and used for his
own destruction. He was warned

Clarerce Engberg Accidentally SHOT.

Clarence Engberg was dangerously
injured Wednesday afternoon by an
accidental discharge Of his 22-ritle,
the bullet entering at the groin and
lodging in his back. lie was taken to
IewistoWn the same evening, accom-
panied by his mother and DR.. f. NJ.
Cans. An operation showed that the
intestines had been perforated eigh-
teen times. 1t is thought that lie
will recover. At the time of the ac-
cident the unfortunate boy and Emil
Olson were hunting in the east foot
hills of the Belt mountains. Clar-
ence had wounded a rabbit and was
using the butt OF his rifle to finish the
animal, when the shell exploded.
Immediately after the accident, his
companion ran. for assistance, and
more than mile away found George
kidder, who went to the injured lad
and carried him to the Pero ranch,
where team was secured to bring
him to town. The boys and his
family's many friends trust that he
will rapidly recover.

contest for the purse of 1925 and all
the gate receipts.
And the best of all, the weather
prognosticatOrs have warm wave
scheduled for the latter part of next
week, and we all earnestly hope they
will have it arrive on schedule time.
Remember, that every farmer with-
in radius OF fifty miles of Judith
Gap should take Il personal interest
in this fair, and help make ita sue
cess by bringing in exhibits early and
plenty of them. 1t is your fair.

Labor Day Service.

Last Sunday was Labor Day. In
many churches throughout the coun-
try there were held special services
III the interest of the great army of
people who are doing the world rs
work. This is as it should he. Let
the world pay tribute to those who
make it's wheels go around.
Next Sunday special services Of
this character will be conducted at
the M. E. churches in Garneill and
Judith Gap. The services at Gar
neill will be at 100 a. m.: at the
Gap at 800 Up. m. Everybody is cor
daily invited.

then what would happen if he thwart-
ed the will of the people, and in his
pleasant, affable way replied that he
would take his chances. He took
them and lost, and lie has nobody but
himself to blame.. Mr.. Tooley had Il
chance to become powerful leader
of the people, but he has trained so
long with the bosses who work Who'll
ly in the interests of the big copper
company at Butte that he sacrificed
his political future to deliver to them
the goods they desired. Big money
ami big business are the gods he bows
to, and he would rather 90 down to
defeat waving their banners than to
stand for the peoples rights.
Mr.. Baxter, in order to disorganiZe
the combination formed to fight any
move made by the political boss, in
trOduced resolution to endorse the
administration Of President Taft in
no uncertain language. The largest
vote Of the day was recorded against
this, showing that some OF the sen-
ator's friends could not stand for
that. There is very little iii the ad.-
ministration of President Taft that
stands out for the exclusive benefit
Of the great majority Of the people.
1t has been u boss-controlled admin
istration entirely favorable to the big
interests. The dissolution Of the
Standard Oil company enriched the
stockholders of that gigantic monop-
oily and was consequently burden
upon the consumers Of kerosene oil
and gasoline, and all the by-products
thereof, by the immediate raising of
the price Of all these commodities of
daily use. His reciprocity treaty
with Canada, was, by his own ac-
acknowledgement, favorable to the big
banking interests of Chicago and
New York, which. interests would
soon make Canada an adjunct to the
United States. 1t was clearly against
the interests of the grain growers and
cattle raisers Of the northwestern
states, and against the farmers all
over the Union. Hewas renominated

STORING GRAIN
IN THE NORTHWEST
tBy Prof. Thomas Shawl


AS many know, the crop in the
Northwest the present season is one
of very abundant yields. The truth
Is that not many have an accurate
idea as to how abundant they are. 1t
Is to be questioned if the states of
North Dakota, South Dakota and
Montana have produced II crop with
in the past two decades that has ex-
ceeded the crop of this season in av-
erage yields, and the acreage has new
er been so large before. The condi-
tions for growth. except in IL 1ew To-
caities, were almost perfect, and the
earth has literally brought forth by
handfulls.
That such production will have an
immediate tendency to depress prices
isl foregone conclusion, if the bulk
OF this grain is at once thrown on the
market. Buyers will take advantage
OF the situation to unnecessarily dis
count prices and the railroads may
! have difficulty in moving til. grain.
Already in western Dakota and Mon
tana the prices offered for new oats is
i'll many instances only 20 cents per
bushel. The same oats judiciously
would bring 4 return at present prices
OF these products, considerably more
than 30 cents per bushel and the
chances are that they will approach
that price next spring III the open
market. am told that ut Great
Falls and in the vicinity, the buyers
Of Turkey Red winter wheat are al
ready discounting the price OF ~ cents
per bushel, AS compared with No.
hard spring wheat. Before l began
to urge the farmers in Montana to
grow Turkey Red winter wheat, in
quired OF the leading grain men in
Minneapolis as to how the grade OF
Turkey Red winter wheat compa red
with No. Spring wheat for milling
purposes. They told me practically
the same. II this sort Of knavery is
to continue, more will be heard about
f'it in the public prints. l can give
names.
Now the congestion OF grain that il
inevitably coming can be prevented
by storing large part OF the grain.
This can be done in three ways. First
in some instances by storing in eleva-
tors for considerations; Second,
storing in the granaries already con-
structed and third, storing in galvan-
ized tanks located in the field at the
place OF threshing, or in some other
convenient place. For the beginner
or the person who ia not already
equipped with storage room, the gal
vaniZed iron tank will solve the prob.
lem. These may be purchased OF war;
ious sizes. They have many advan-
tages. The first cost is not out OF the
reach of the farmer. They will keep
the grain quite safe from rain or
snow and the attacks of rodents.
Those who have their grain stacked
and have a place OF storage are mas
ters of the situation. 1t would be
simply too bad after the farmers have
raised a bumper crop that they should
lose the advantage thus gained by
the low prices obtained for it.

POWERS STAND READY TO ACT
"Unspeakable Turk" Has Lost His
Grip on Europe

A new war cloud, more dreadful
ly ominous in it's possibilities than
the one now hanging lightly on the
final efforts of two spent forces, has
suddenly reared itself over Europe,
out of maze of diplomatic banter
ings and jealousies.
Austria, Germany and Russia are
calling their men to the colors; Ser
Was Scared army is in the field,
and with it, and supporting il, are
the victorious legions of the Bull
CARS, the Greeks and the MonteDe-
grins.
The Austrian Danube flotilla- two
mentors, two torpedo boats aud
fU1- gunboats-are rushing down
the Danube to Belgrade, under full
steam. The dispatch Of these yes
sells is shrouded in secrecy, so far
as official explanations are concern
ed, but their mission is plainly a
hostile one.
Austria has four hundred thou
sand troops on war footing; three
hundred thousand of them are mass
ed on the Servian frontier. Reserv-
lists are reporting for duty at every
military post in the country.
To the Austrian frontier are rush
ing thousands of Russian troops, as
fast as they can be modified. The
Official Reichsposts of Vienna eSti-
mates that by Thursday the Gar
will have centralized a great army OF
1920, 900 men.
i is announced from Vienna that
$4,000 reserves have been called
out.
The Austrian press has taken up
the cry of hostility toward Russia
the Russian official organs demand
armed action.
The Balkan war has been one OF
the shortest, bloodiest and most de-
cisive in history.
Arraigned on one side are Bulga-
ria, Servia, Montenegro and Greece
on the other, Turkey.
Montenegro began hostilities Oc-
tober 4th. and Bulgaria, Servia and
Greece invaded Turkey within Z
week.
The Turks won not single ina
portant engagement, unless theil
defense of Constantinople may b,

Chose Wise Course

The Springfield Republican thinks
President-elect Wilson has again
shown qualities which go to make a
good executive in announcing his
decision to call an extra session of
Congress at this time. Says the
Repu blican:
An extra session OF Congress in
the spring being authoritatively an
nounced by the President-elect,
nearly all the prominent commenta-
tors. irrespective of party, say Mr..
Wilson has wisely chosen his course.
1t was difficult to see how he could
have come to any other conclusion,
in view Cf his own pledges and his
party's, but he could have done the
right thing in the wrong wav by
delaying his announcement too long,
and thus impressing the country
with his vacillation or hesitation in
stead of his promptness and decis-
ion. AS the case stands, Mr.. Will
Wilson seems to have made his an
nouncemt MT neither too soon nor toe
late. He spoke decisively at the
right moment"

The White Squaw," Play Based
On Reality
Your brother,
w. f. PERsON.

1t is an old saying that truth is
stranger than fiction, but itapples to
the romantic American drama, The
White Squaw," booked for one
night at the Lyric Theatre, Fridav.
November 29th. The play is from
the pen of the talented young Amer
lean actor author, Della VI. Clarke,
who made her stage debut under
Augustine Daily and was later
prominently identified with numer-
Gus Charles Frohman's companies.
The story OF THE White Squaw
deals with two sisters, one as
baby tragically thrown into tie
hands of Indians to be reared by
them in the belief she was their
child, and the other grown up amid
bright and refined surroundings. 1t
is when the two sisters. unknown to
each other. come face to face that
the story starts to be carried through
it's channels and veins of romance,
laughter aad heart interest to hap
py conclusion. The story is true
one; it vas told to Miss Clarke
when she was the merest bit of a
child clamoring around the knee OF
her grandmother.
