Monday the Carpenters Union ad.
justed an unauthorized strike at the
Neuralgyline company's building,
where the construction work is being

carpenters employed there, six in

an increase in wages above the union

men, instructed them that they must
return to work in accordance with the

F|FT|ETH ANNIVERSARY
Of GETTYSBURG BATTLE

The 50th anniversary of the battle OF
Gettysburg will be celebrated upon the
battlefield at Gettysburg, Pa. July Ia,
1913. 1t will not be A celebration of n
wal victory, but one of peace. IT Is to
be a commcmoration of that brotherly
feeling which today knows no section
alism, no other love than that which
unitcs us as one In devotion in our
country. Ana on that battlefield where
so many thousands Of the brave men
Of the north and south yielded their
lives in the cause which each ~espouscd,
the men Of the union and confederate
armies arc to gather, pay respect to
the memory of their comrades who fell
there and renew their fealty to our
grand republic and its flag.
The celebration will be under tho
auspices Of the United States govern
ment and the state of Pennsylvania,
who have each appointed commissions
Other of the states have also arranged
for representation.
1t is the urp to have In attend
ancc as man survivors of both armies
as possible of those who participated
in that great battle, and each state, it
is expected. will arrange for the free
transportation from their homes to
Gettysburg and return Of such citizens
as are o residents in the state who
were actual participants in this battle.
1t is contemplated that the United
states government will furnish rations,
tents, cots and blankets, free of charge,
to these veterans.
The sanitary hospital arrangements

permits.
The executive committee of the
Pennsylvania commission have in
charge the matter Of arranging with
the railroad and steamship companies
for a reasonable passenger rate from
all parts Of the United States.
TO these veterans also there will be
accorded. without charge. r%ations, cots

1t is the hope of the old veterans

We suggest that d reasonable and
fair appropriation would be $4,000 ia

various normal schools. The plan is
working out very well. | think myself
that we would have a better chance
of passing this amendment if we called
for a mill instead of "a mill and a half
levy"
Horticulture
Turning to the next of his topics
Judge Bickford asked NJ. l.. Dean to
tell the legislators what tho horticul-
turists of the state want in the way
of legislation. w are going to ask
YOU to pass several laws for us said
Mr.. Dean. The present horticulture
laws We're passed when fruit growing
was at it's infancy in the state. There
were no fruit pests here and no immc-
date danger from them. But those
times have passed. We have some
pests now and we want protection
from Others that are in existence in
other parts Of the country and are
liable to pass our borders at any time.
Not long ago California set up a rigid
quarantine on everything shipped from
Honolulu as soon as the news Of the
invasion of Hawaii by the Mcditcr-
ranean fruit fly became known. This
fruit fly lays it's eggs in m fruit just
as the blow fly blows meat and the
result is the Samc. In a few days
the fruit is a mass Of living maggots.
To prevent this fly from getting a
hold in California a rigid inspection
was required of everything shipped
from Hawaii. The quarantine was
expensive but it is worth While when
one considers what her fruit industry
means to California. And tina is
what we want you to do for us. There
are lots of pests in the country that
have not struck Montana. We don't
want them here and we can keep them
out only by quarantine.
another thing we are going to ask
for is the recognition of tho standard
apple box. Oregon and Washington
have adopted a standard box and at
it's last session congress adopted a
standard barrel. Eastern growers
tried to force on more experienced
westorners an unWieIdy standard box
and we barely escaped. We want to
see a standard box provided by Mon
tHna's statutes before this question
comes up in congress again.
we would also like the Legislature
to allow each county to protect itself
against fruit disease by tax levy, if
county vote on the levy and then let
the county commissioners make it,

good working majority, but the result
for chief justice and associate justice
of the Court of Appeals remained in
doubt with the Republicans claiming
the election of both their candidates
for these places.
Democracy triumphed in the Twen-
tieth New York congressional district
where Jacob II. Cantor was elected;
the Thirteenth New York, where Geo.
w. Loft. succeeding the late Tim"
Sullivan was elected, and the Third
Maryland district, where Charles p.
Cody was the choice. Returns from
the Third Massachusetts district
showed that Calvin D. Paige, Repub-
lican, was elected over M. Fred O'Con-
nell, Democrat.
In Massachusetts,, David l. Walsh,
a bachelor not 40 years old, was elect
ed governor on the regular Democratic
ticket by about $4,000 plurality. Bos-
ton rolled in 10000 majority for him.
He is the first Roman Catholic ever
elected governor of the Puritan-Pil-
grim state. Bird, the millionaire Pro
gressive, and Gardner, the straight Re-
publican candidate, ran so even a race
that second place is still in doubt. .
Latest returns from New Jersey in
dicate the election of Fielder by 20,
900. President Wilson's candidate
seems assured of election, but the ex
tent of his plurality will remain in
doubt all night.
In Maryland, Blair Lee, the Demo
ar.a I'D
United States Senate, was elected to
fill the unexpired term of the late SEN
ator Isador Rayner. Lees majority is
10000 or more. He is President Will
sons choice
But little interest was shown in the
Pennsylvania non-partisan contest for
two judges of the Superior Court. OF
the four candidates, it is probable that
Judge John ]. Henderson of Crawford
county, and James Alcorn of Philadel
phia were elected. In Philadelphia
the Republicans defeated the Fusion
lists backed up by the present city ad-
ministration, electing Samuel P. Rot
an, district attorney.
In Pittsburg, where there was a bit
ter campaign, attended by arrests and
indictments for bribery, Armstrong
Democrat, was elected mayor.
In Indianapolis, rhe Democratic tick
ct, supported by National Committee.
man Taggart and United States Sen
ator ]. w. Kern, was elected. At Gary,
Ind, there was serious rioting and a
call made for state troops. The Citi-
zens ticket was successful.
In Illinois, the votes of newly-enfran-
chised women resulted in the defeat
of saloons in many cities.
