FAIR CATAL0C IS OUT
PREMIUM LIST NOW IN HANDS OF
THE SECRETARY FOR GEN.
ERAL DISTRIBUTION.

Secretary Mathews, of the County
Fair association, now has in hand for
general distribution copies of the cat
alog and premium list of the nine
teenth annual fair. Fritz Race and
Earl McGinness mad the contract for
the publication of the catalog this
year and turned out an exceptionally
neat job.
September 9th to the 14th, inclusive.
An especial effort will be made to Sc
cure a first-class display Of agricul-
tural products and stock Cash prizes
to the amount of approximately two
thousand dollars have been offered by

partment, has announced that he is
going to endeavor to get together the
greatest bunch of bloOded stock ever
assembled in this part of the state.
Mr.. Bennett is great believer in
good stock and has some exceptionally
high grade horses, cattle and hogs on
his ranch near Benchland. He also
believes that the annual county fair
can be made an agency for imprOv-
ing the blood of the stock in the
county and is out to demonstrate his
theory this season. The association
will have stall room for a large mum.
Der of horses, so that owners can
bring them in several days before the
fair opens and groom them right on
the ground.
There will be nothing but running
races this year and this will meet
with the favor of a large majority Of
the racing enthusiasts. Each day
there will be five races, which, with
the purses offered, are as follows:
Three furlongs, 500; one-half mile,
500; five furlongs, 500; one mile,

irrigation projects now in course of
construction along Flatwillow and
tributary creeks, the southeastern
part OF Fergus county is destined to
rival the Bitter Root, Flathead and
Clark's Fork valleys in the produc-
tion of fruit. The altitude will be no
greater than that of any one of the
three valleys mentioned and the soil,
If anything, Is richer. The Snowy
mountains will afford protection from
the west winds and the Milwaukee

make both the eastern and western

ed that he had been informed by elec-
trio light officials that Hilger would
be connected with the Great Falls
plant during the coming summer.
The question of cemetery for Hilger
was brought up and a committee was
appointed to investigate the matter
and take such necessary steps as will
insure the much needed improvement.
The matter of celebrating the Fourth
of July was next talked over, but the
opinion seemed to prevail that It
would be better for the new town to

have a celebration of different char.
acter later on. A proposition to cele-
brate September seemed to be IA
vored and it is probable that arrange
ments will be made accordingly. This
Is the first anniversary of the new
town and it seems quite fitting that
this day should not pass without
special notice. NO definite steps have
as yet been taken, but a fine exhibit
OF the products of this vicinity will
probably be one of the leading attrac-
tlons. Every effort will be made this
day to show all visitors the best time
OF their lives in order that the new
town may make the best impression
possible on all comers. After a gen.
eral discussion of several topics per-
tanning to the welfare of the town,
the club adjourned at 10:30, to meet
next on May 6.

ON WEST SIDE
ALL VERY OPTIMISTIC
SPEEDY CONSTRUCTION OF MIL.
WAUkEE WILL ADD MUCH
TO LAND VALUES.

A.. B. Lehman, of the Hilger Loan
and Realty company, spent several
days In the western part of the county
last week on business connected with
his firms extensive land holdings in
that section of the Judith Basin. He
took out party of prospective land
buyers and all of them expressed
themselves as highly pleased with
what they saw in their long trip
across the Basin.
Alex informs the Democrat that the
farmers in the western part Of the
county and especially settlers in sev-
tions which will be adjacent to the
new line of the Milwaukee between
Lewistown and Great Falls are jubi-
liant over the announcement by Presi.
dent Earling that his road will he
built this year. On the strength OF
this announcement, the acreage of
spring grain being sown is being large.
ly increased and there will be thou
sands of acres of wheat, oats, flax and
barley put in during the next six
weeks.
Crop conditions in that part of the
Basin are excellent at the present
time. The winter wheat is, coming
along finely and spring work is on in
full blast. A score or more of steam
plowing outfits are engaged out there
and the smaller ranchers are work
ing their teams to the limit Ground
is in good shape and the spring crops
will go in in better shape than ever
before.

Ayers, of Lewistown, who was speak

on Odd Fellowship. Mr.. Ayers was
somewhat late in arriving from Lew

First Game Of the Season.

The first base ball game Of the
local season was played at the fair
grounds last Sunday afternoon by
teams from the Power Mercantile and
the Lehman stores. It was an even
game up to the seventh inning, when
the Lehman team went to pieces and
permitted the Power bunch to swamp
them with hits and runs. The final
score was 18 to 9 in favor of Powers,
but the Lehman aggregation insist
that they will reverse the verdict after
they have had an opportunity to prac-
tice up a bit. No admission was
charged and there was a fair crowd
present.

.PROGRESSNES HOLD
INTERESTING MEETING
ROOSEVELT MEN OF LEWISTOWN
PLAN TO CONTROL REPUBLI-
CAN COUNTY CONVENTION.

About fifty progressive republicans
of Lewistown held an enthusiastic
meeting at the Orpheum theater last
night and laid plans for capturing the
control of the republican county con-
vention at the primaries which will
be held next Saturday. E. c. Russell,
the well-known attorney, presided,
and number of red-hot anti-Amalga.
mated speeches were made.
Sam w. Teagarden, the Forest
Grove rancher, who has temporarily
forsaken the plOw to assume the man.
agement of the progressive republican
campaign In Montana, was over from
Helena and made stirring address
In which he everlastingly lambasted
the old guard republicans in the state
and predicted victory for the In
surgents throughout the state this
summer. He detailed the fight which
is being waged against Joe Dixon and
Roosevelt in this state and gave the
Amalgamated Copper company full
credit for inspiring that fight.
Judge Cheadle also delivered a
short talk, in which he stated that the
only hope of the republican party in
Fergus county, Montana, and the ma
tion depends upon the success of the
progressive movement. He pointed
out that, locally, the progressive DEM
ocrats are in control of that party
and that the republicans must also
place progressive ticket in the field
If they are to have the remotest
chance of winning at the November
election.
Talks of the same general trend
were made by w. D. Symmes, Paul
Trigg. E. c. Russell and others.
The meeting resulted in a decision
to appoint committee of twenty &C.
tive progressive workers in each nf
the republican wards of the county,
whose efforts shall be devoted to the
selection of out-and-out progressive
Roosevelt-Dixon delegations to the
county convention, which is to be held
here Saturday, May II. Plans for Sc
curing progressive delegates from out
side precincts have been working for
several weeks.
The old line republicans are evident
ly not going to permit the progress
sives to have things all their own way
without contest. Jack Waite is do
Ing lot of quiet work and expects
to repeat his past successes when 1t
comes to controlling the county con-
vention. The fight promises to be a
bitter one. and the democrats, in
whose ranks no such schism exists,
Will stand aside and observe the con.
test with interest and at a safe dis
tance.

John Single, who has a fine farm

low town for the purposes set forth
They nave officially announced that
they can, consistently with their best
interests, establish a divisional point
Tor freight and passengers here. The

after being urged to do so by the com.
mercial club, indicated that such an
indication OF good will and progress
siveness on the part of the people of
LewistoWn will be appreciated.
Will Mean Big Payroll.
The establishment of a division
point in LewistOWn will mean large
and constantly growing payroll, some
thing which this city needs above all
others right now to advance it's best
interests. Since this is the first i'm
portant city westward from New Rock
lord, North Dakota, distance of over
five hundred miles, it may be seen that
Lewistown is particularly we'll located
for the establishment of extensive
shops and yards just as quickly as the
through line is completed, which will
certainly be within the next two years.
Are Ready With the Money.
That the live business interests of
Lewistown do not consider pennies
when 1t comes to the promotion of
the growth and development of their
town is shown by the readiness with
which they dig up" for any worthy
cause. Not only have they raised the
fifteen thousand and more for the
shops, but have also contributed in
excess of five thousand dollars during
the past two months for the CONNER
cial club. They do not intend to stop
here. but are simply hoping that the
occasion may arise for raising another
fifteen thousand for the Milwaukee
shops. Any time the Milwaukee in
dicates it's desires or intentions that
will find Lewistown ready
to do business on substantial basis.
