TO MERGE ART SOCIETIES.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The American
Academy of Arts and Letters and the
National Institute of Arts and Letters
would be incorporated under two bills
passed today by the senate. Both
measures We're introduced by Senator
Lodge, and in each case the list of
i~ncorporators includes the prominent
artists. sculptors, musicians and au-
thors in the United States. The mem
bership of the academy would be re-
stricted to 50 and the institute would
be limited to $50.

pended upon to be "A controlling factor
in the selection to be made.
This fact becomes more apparent
as consideration is given to the item
Of u gift of not less 1,0o0 acres of
land. As the agricultural college and
experiment station would rcqnire a
large acreage of land under irrigation,
it win at once be seen that a huge
sum will be involved in providing the
minimum acreage called for. Such
cities as Missoula, BoZcman, Billings
or LeWiStoWn would be taxed nightly
to raise IA sum of none by suhscrip-
ton to purchase even the minimum
required. In fact, the provision is suf-
liciCnt to put all Of them practically out
of the competition. other cities like
Kalispcll, Dillon and Miles City are
too far remote to be considered. About
the Only cities which could enter the
competition at all would be Helena
and Great Falls.
Helena.
Helena might be a serious con-
tender If it could succeed in persuade
ing congress to donate the Fort Har-
risen acreage to tho state as a loca-
ton for the proposed institution. But
even that would not be sufficient.
Provision would have TO he made for
the irrigation Of a large portion of
the tract for the use of the agricul-
tural college and the experiment sta

get through with; but to persuade
congress to give away Il valuable
piece of property would not be nearly
SO easy of accomplishment. The pres
ent session of congress will expire by
limitation on March 4 next; mean
while it Will be a busy body, its at
tention absorbed by matters of much
wider concern than to provide Helena
with a university location. The spc-
clal session to be called early in the
year will not have time to give to mat
tiers of unimportance. such as this
would be, The politicians will have

NEWTON COMMENOS BUILDERS
Of new INTERuRBAN ROAD.

Henry S. Newton, superintendent
of the 'Mesaba electric line, is we'll
satisfied with the road the Western
Construction company has built and
which Mr.. Newton will operate. He
asserts that Engineer C. E. Thomas
has done fine job and particularly
taking into consideration the diff
culties of construction. The general
route of the line is through a coun-
try in which there is much iron ore
and the course of the road has to be
made to avoid the places where ex-
ploration has showed that ore exists.
This makes a very devious roadway
and yet it has been demonstrated
that the road is one over which fast
time can be safely made notwitf-
standing the curves and turns. Mr..
Newton has the highest praise re-
garding the construction work over
the road that has been turned over
to him to operate.
The interurban cars have for sew
eral days been operating On hourly
schedule in both directions out of
Virginia.

At the biiou.

One Of the amusement features of
the week end is the reproduction at
the Bijou Theater of special feature
film entitled "The Peril of the
Plains" The story of the produc-
ton deals with the old days when
the red man roamed the plains hunt
ing for scalps and ffre4water. The
pictures show some of the finest
horesmanship or rather horsewom-
anship that has ever been thrown on
the screen and the wild dash of
Helen the heroine of the piece when
she jumps on an Indian pony and
makes a break for help and freedom
is the best yet. The Indians seeing
the home of John Morgan decide to
attack it and after forcing an en-
trance drink up everything in sight
and then fight amongst themselves,
this and the three wild rides showR
in the films keep the interest at boil
ing point from the moment the first
picture is shown. The pictures are
shown Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Subscription Price 500 Per Year in Advanc

The day the Virginia Commercial
club win adopt the luncheon feature
in connection with it's meetings, that
day will it begin to have a satis-
factory attendance at all meetings.
A few of the faithful attend meet
ings but there should be an attend
ance of forty or fifty or even more
at all meetings. The usefulness OF
the club would be three-fold what it
is now, if it were assured that ten
or more of the business men OF V1r-
ginia could be relied upon to be there
for the transaction of business. The
club has done remarkable work.
There are plenty of men who will
ingly do what is assigned them, but
the efficiency of the club could be
trebled and quadrupled, if these
same willing workers would be pres
ent at meetings and give their ad-
vice and recommendations. But the
solution of the attendance problem is
the luncheon feature at meetings.
There is no doubt about it.

When it is considered that the
value of poultry products in the state
of Minnesota alone is $30,O00,000
the importance to be attached to
show such as put on by the Range
Poultry association and concluded
early this week, is considered in a
new light. George D. Holden of
Owatonna, who came here to judge
the birds, says: 1.-THE little old unas-
Stunning hen has been with us so long
that we do not give her the con-
sideration that is DUE There are
only a few industries in the state,
the aggregate values of the products
of which exceed poultry products.
Mr.. Holden urges the Range fanciers
to continue to follow the business
because it is profitable and because
1t is interesting. He states there is
no better market anywhere than
what the producers have waiting for
them right at home.
