National Convention of
StOckmen

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 18. 1913.
The National Live Stock Con-
vention has just finished its ses-
sions and is said, by all who at
tended, that it was the most en-
thusiastic and the most widely
attended ever held in the history
of the Association.
Thirty-fve states were repre-
sented by delegates and over
five hundred delegates took part
and attended the sessions, even
Canada was represented.
Every minute was an interest;
ing one and every delegate goes
back home feeling that it was
time and money well spent in
coming to this convention, in
mld-winter and yet beautiful and
sunny.
On Tuesday night the Conven-
tion was banqueted at the beau
tiful Hotel Adams the round
up'' lasted till 2 O'Clock in the
morning, and no record was kept
of the camp fire stories or the re-
lating of pioneer days but every
body was happy.
On Friday about $50 automo-
biIes carrying something like
/, 900 men and 300 women left at
| 9 O'Clock for Granite Reef for
one Of the biggest barbecues
ever planned, and to see the
beautiful Salt River valley and
the Roosevelt Diversion dam. No
one will tell you that he can, in
fitting language, discribe this
trip.
All in all, this convention was
a record breaker and for love-
feasting, coed will and meeting
of old friends it made the stock
men feel like boys again.
Those attending from Greenlee
and Graham counties were: w.
|
T. Witt, Duncan; John R. Cromb
and L. +. Sweeting, Clifton; A.
T. Wilson, Double Circle; w. E.
Cureton, Steeplerock, IN. NJ 2.
c.. Prina, Stafford.
The next convention goes to
Denver.
Hon. Dwight B. Heard, vice
president Of the association and
manager of the Arizona Republi-
can worked increasingly for the
success of the convention and
proved that Phoenix was all that
he had represented her to be,
and then some.

Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall were

Experiment in Road Buildinu

Billings, Nov. 25.-A step which
may mean much in the good roads
movement which has been sweeping
over this section for several years,
has just been made by the commits
sioners of Yellowstone county and
residents of Billings and the farming
country east of the city. After con.
sulting many of the most prominent
authorities and books upon road build
ing, the good roads boosters have
started the construction of gravel
road made entirely of local material.
The road is to be about a mile long
and 16 feet wide, built entirely of
crushed gravel, cemented together
with a kind of clay peculiar to this
section, which it is believed will prove
to be excellent natural binder. The
road will cost about $4,000 per mile,
and half the expense is being paid
by the commissioners while the rest
is being raised by subscription.

Preparing for Farmers Institutes

Among the various agencies for
rural betterment and farm progress,
including farmers short courses, bet
ter farming trains, county agricultur-
lists, school of agriculture, etc., the
farmers institute still holds first
place in the support of the state of
Montana and interest of it's farm peo-
pie.
The corps of speakers secured for
this seasons institutes is exceptional
ly good, including the veteran o. c..
Gregg, of Minnesota; S. w. Moore, of
West Virginia, horticulturist and ru-
raj organizer; Professor Dietrich, re-
Gently swine expert in Illinois univer-
sity: M. L. Wilson, H. G. Good, w. w.
Spain, and members of the agricul-
tural college faculty and experiment
station staff.
Because of the limited funds and
time. applications for Institutes will
receive consideration in order of fiji.
ing and interest displayed. If any
places that should have Institutes this
winter have been overlooked in send
ing out blanks, this will be a reminder
to let the fact be known. II you want
a farmers institute in your communi-
ty with speakers furnished by the
state, write to F. S. Cooley, Superin-
tendent of farmers institutes, Boze-

Two Thanksgiving Weddings

Among the pleasant incidents of
Thanksgiving day in this city were
two weddings, in each of which we'll
known and popular Fort Benton
young people were participants.
The marriage of Miss Mary e. Har.
ris, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Harris, to Mr.. James Wilson Jr., took
place Thursday afternoon at the home
OF the brides parents. The ceremony
was performed by Rev. ]. N. Ches-
mutt, of the Episcopal church, and
was witnessed by members of the
family and few of their intimate
friends. The bride is a native of
Fort Benton, and during her residence
here has enjoyed the acquaintance
and esteem of large circle Of friends
in this vicinity. Mr.. Wilson is in the
employ of the Milwaukee railroad as
a civil engineer and has made a sue
cess in his profession. The newly
married couple will make their home
in Seattle in the near future.
The home Of Mr.. and Mrs. e. r..
Russell was the scene of wedding
Thursday afternoon, when their
daughter Miss Eva Russell was mar
ried to Vernon E. Lewis, of Great
Falls. Rev. ]. A. Martin, superintend-
ent of the Great Falls district Of the
Methodist church, performed the cere.
mony. Both Of the participants have
been residents Of this city for several
years, and have large number Of
friends among local young people.
The bride has been active in church
work and was president of the Ep-
worth League of the Methodist
church. Mr.. Lewis, after graduating
from the Fort Benton public schools,
took law course at the Northwest
ern University, and recently opened
an office in Great Falls as practic-
ing attorney.
1t is an interesting coincidence that
the marriage Of Mr.. Lewis and Miss
Russell took place on the fortieth we'd
ding anniversary of the groom's par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. George F. Lewis,
formerly of this city, who are now liv-
ing near FlOweree.

FOURTEEN FOOTBALL PLAYERS KILLED IN 1913

EOURTEEN players were killed and
 175 were injured in football games in the last season.
 The football casualty list for 1913 materially exceeds that of 1912 and all most equals that of 191L In 1912 sew en players lost their lives.
 Carefully kept statistics show a total of ten fatalities for last year, but three of them were carried over from the previous year, death having en- sued after the publication of the 1911 list. These, with the fourteen fatalities in the 1911 list, make a true total of seventeen for that year. The season of 1912 saw twenty-six injured on the gridiron, and in 1911 sixty-seven were hurt.
 In all, fifteen football players have died this year, and three of these sue cumbed in the Twin Cities.

The little blind trotter estab- fishes a new worlds record for three year-o1d by this amount taken, topping the record of S22. 800, made by Benz Ketta in 1894. He was campatgned by Geers in six races and took four of them handf1y. The little bay was out of the money only once, that in the Western Horseman stake at Indianapo- lis, where he showed such lack of form that he was drawn. Horse fam ciers will remember his purchase at Cleveland at the opening of the season. Geers' most prominent performance of the year was his capturing of the Merchants and ManufactuPers' $10,00o stake at the Blue Ribbon meeting in Detroit, Mich, when he after losing two heats to Andrews behind Tenara, came back with Reusens, the Kentucky geld ing and placed his sixth victory of this event to his credit
