DR.. Harvey G. Furbay the newly

Anti-Saloon league for Montana,
made his introduction to Missoula
particularly impressive yesterday.
He spoke in the morning in the
Christian church and in the even
ing he addressed an audience which
taxed the seating capacity Of the
Congregational church.
DR. Furbay is a fighter; there
is no evasion about his talk; he
hits hard and he hits often; his
blows are strong and direct. Last
night he was interrupted by ap
plause. He paused and said: This
is the second time I have ever
heard applause in church; the
first time was when 1 spoke in the
Mountain View Methodist church
in Butte the other night. | like it
am glad you folks have the cour
age of your convictions. | like the
fellow who is fair and square,
''Dr. Furbay is a different sort
of temperance speaker from the

He is an Improvement. He doesn'1
deal in platitudes and doesn't bea1

- /N/1 Nh L = I ---..........ur
The Whiteside bill, advocating
the consolidation Of the four high
er schools of education, was de.
,feated in the senate yesterday.
The bill was good one, but met
with united opposition from the
counties that have these schools
at the present tire, Missoula,
Beaverhead, Gallatin and Silver
Bow.
If the legal opinion of Attorney
"A. p. Haywood of Helena holds
good, the legislature cannot create
any new counties. In a letter to
Representative Kelnmis, the attor-
ney says the law Of 1911 holds and
there cannot be the ways Of doing
the thing by the legislature.
Lieutenant Governor Mcdowell
and Speaker Macdonald signed s.
B. No. / for the woman's suffrage
amendment. 1t went to the COVER
nor, who Immediately affixed his
signature.
Four county division PROPOSE
tions are now before the house and
senate. They provide for the crea-
ton of Richland county from a
portion of Dawson; Phillips from
portions of Blaine and Valley;
Wibaux from portions of Custer
and Dawson, and Lake from parts
|of Missoula, Flathead and Sanders.
The reason for bringing these
division schemes before the legisla.
ture instead Of taking advantage
Of the Leighton law for submission
to the people are that it is cheaper
and in at least one instance the
assessed valuation Of the property
Tin the proposed new county is not
sufficient to warrant submission o1
the scheme to the electorate.
After it had been under fire fol
two hours the house advanced the
Drinkard lobbying regulation
measure for passage in committee
of the whole without Amendment
The measure is framed after tho
Wisconsin law and not only pro
yides for registration of legislative
council and lobbyists, but penalize:
their appearance on the floor O
the house or their attempt to in
fluence members of the legislature
except by appearing before TIN
various committees.
/ Opposition to the measure wa
based on the fact that it exclude
those lobbying for legislation il
behalf Of labor organiza tions excep
by appearance before committee
and also excludes them from th
privileges of the floor in bot
houses.
CRULL Is SARCASTIC.
Colonel Crnll suggested that th
bill be SO admended as to provid
J; that lobbyists of high and lo'
degree be met at the station upo
their arrival in Helena and mad
to carry a banner designating thei
purpose. The moment they pu
foot on the capital grounds b
said sarcastically, they should h
muzzled." He declared that th
bill, if enacted, would prevent til
coal miners from coming to til
capital with petitions for legisl
tion they need, and urged again'
it's favorable consideration.
The Jewell motion to report til
. bill then carried.
/, The following bill introduced /

HOME PLOT COMPANY
IS MAKING PROGRESS
Five 20-ACre Plots Have Been
Grubbed and Cleared and
Wells To Be Drilled
CEMENT BLOCK FACTORY BUSY
Latest Machinery for Manufacturing
Building Material Is Now
Being Installed

The Home Plot Company has CON-
pleted the grubbing and clearing on
the first five 20-acre tracts and n
deal was closed yesterday for plow-
ing them. Wells will be drilled and
pumping plants installed early next
month, at which time construction
work on the drst house will also be
started. AT present the work of di-
recting the building of the cement
block and tile factory, north of the
city, is occupying the energies of the
officers of the company.
FACTORY BUSY
Cement blocks are being made in
great quantities and cured under the
special process which develops their
greatest tensile strength. The
blocks will be impervious to water
and practically indestructible. Many
persons are viewing the demonstra-
ton house which has been completed
near the factory and are we'll pleased
with the construction and appear
ance. The house is occupied by j.
A. Turney, who is the architect in
charge of the company's development
work. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to build twenty-three or posi-
bly, more of these houses on the lit
tie farms which adjoin the town
site. This development is ideal in
that every modern convenience is Of
fered in addition to the healthful life
and activities of the farm. When
the purchaser takes possession of
the holding everything will be COM
plete and the earning of the land
should, with proper management, be.
gin at once.

STATEWIDE ACTIVITY

In looking over the New Mexico
exchanges that come to our Office,
We IRE impressed most forcibly by
the unmistakable signs Of prosper
ily revealed therein. From every
corner of the State the clarion call
of activity seems to be ringing out
in clear, sharp tones in every line
of industry. Mines are being opened
and developed in the mining regions /;
lands are being reclaimed by irriga-
ton projects in all parts of the
State; the farmers seem to be getting
down to more scientific methods in
their agricultural pursuits; new in
dustrial enterprises are springing up
as if by magic; and no, among the
least of the activities is the develop
ment work being done in the oil fields
recently discovered in several parts
of the State.
II is time to put pessimism and un-
belief on the shelf and to get in
touch with the progress being made
and help the good work along, the
work that is to make the Sunshine
State one of the greatest among the
States of the Union.
Get the spirit of the movement,
which. though not spectacular nor
world startling in its advance, is yet
certain to grow 10 greater and great
er proportions as il gains momentum,
and il is not too much to prognostl-
cate that within the next few years
New Mexico will be the scene Of
much activity in the development of
her latent resources.
And the hum Of the shattlecocks
of industry will be heard, as the his
torian, Twitchell, puts it, "from
Pennington to Carlsbad. Farming
ton Enterprise.

disposing of the Minbrrs Valley cror
Of 1913 which. from present indica
tions, will he bumper one. The
orlginal intention was 10 call meet b
ing of nl the members of the asso .
citation. but since no extra expense
will attach 10 the new department,
II Vas thought 10 be- unnecessary.
Secretary Luthrr Stevenson was in
struclrd Ia TAX" up correspondence
with the marketing organizations of
the country and have on hand the
data necessary for the shipping of
produce 10 the best advantage. II is
probable that representatives will be-
sent 10 the large mining camps near
Drming lo get in touch with their
needs aud supply them accordingly.
COMPLETE INFORMATION
An attractive part of the plan i,
the issuing of blanks which each in
diyidual member will till out as an in.
dNidual report on production. These
forms will be- given ont and collected
monthly by Secretary Stevenson and
placed on lille. Reference Ia the file
will give the kind "l crops planted
by each individual, amount of acre
age and available produce for mar
ket. An effort will be- made to have
the produce III the best possible con.
dilion for the market. Heretofore
il has been impossible to ship ear
which was uniformly acceptable to
the commission merchants or consu-
mers. This was due to the fact that
very often one farmer would seek to
escape the trouble Of cleaning or
properly packing and would thus
compel the other shippers {" accept
Il lower price for their produce than
its quality and condition warranted.
SELLING FUTURES
With the crop reports will go in-
formation relative to the pumping
plants and their efficiency and will
thereby place in the hands of the as
socia,ion that data without which it
is impossible to plan marketing ahead
of production. The fact that all the
farmers must 60 to the secretary for
oil before and during the irrigating
season makes the collection of the
data possible without extra expense
to the association.
