The passage of direct primary law
by the last legislature has made nee
essary several drastic changes In the
party rules. No provision Is made In
the new law for the organization Of
either territorial or county commit
tees, and yet to carry out the proyi-
sions OF the law, all these committees
must be in existence.
The party leaders will try to formu-
late plans to organize these cmommit-
tees. One Of the suggestions Is to
lame county committees and county
platform committees at party pri-
maries to be held on the same day as
the general primaries, and the county
committees to choose the territorial
central and territorial platform COM

sent for the purpose OF making as
surance doubly sure
Large sums of money have been al
ready expended on the. drydock, and
additional appropriations must be
made next winter. The navy depart
ment officials feel that good reasons
must be furnished in asking additional
funds for this work to obyiate possible
criticism The opinion of Mr.. Noble
would be accepted anywhere as con-
elusive. In event of ultimate fail
ure his word would be sort of buff
fer for the navy department people.
It manifests disposition I'd expe-
dite matters. A final decision was not
expected until after the return of Sec
rotary Daniels from the Pacific coast,
August S. A conclusion was reached
not to await his arrival. but start
Mr.. Noble on his work of investiga-
ton. The Secretary concurred in this
plan.
In announcing the opinions enter
tanned, ana the decision to send Mr..
Noble to Hawaii. Acting Secretary
Roosevelt gave out this formal state
ment:
After carefully considering the re-
port made by the special board, head
ed by Rear Admiral Stanford, Chief
OF the bureau of Yards and Docks,
relating to the construction of a dry
dock at Pearl Harbor. Hawaii, and the
results of exhaustive borings and tests
made by them, it was decided by the
department that, before further defin-
tie action was taken, the opinion Of
an expert engineer in civil life
should be obtained. The Acting Sec
Rotary OF the Navy has made arrange
ments to have Mr.. Alfred Noble, of
New York, proceed to Hawaii early
| IN August for the purpose of exam
lining at nrst hand into all the con-
ditions affecting the construction of
the dock.
Mr.. Noble is regarded throughout
the country as one who is at the head
of his profession, and he has had
great experience in various parts OF
the world with engineering problems
similar to that presented in Hawaii.
II is hoped that Mr.. Mobiles report
will be made early in September, and
that definite action can then be TAX
en- by the department The special
board has officially informed the de-
partinent that the drydock can be built.
but, in view of the exceptional geo
logical conditions, it was decided, in
order to eliminate all possible risk,
to obtain the best engineering opin-
ion from civil iife.''

STATE FAIR Ex-
H|BIT SHIPPED
ARRANGEMENT OF MuSSELsHElL
COUNTY WILL be Better
THAN PAST TWO YEARS.

Musselshell county's exhibit for the
state fair was shipped to Helena yes
terday. 1t comprised a large variety
of products, including garden products
such as melons, squash, tomatoes,
beets, turnips, etc., besides field corn,
pop corn and sweet corn and small
grains Of all kinds. Hon. Joe Asbridge
brought in and will add to the display.
a box OF Brair Sweet crab apples that
look as fine and taste as good as any
grown anywhere In the state. He will
also display several varieties of sum-
mer apples which he is growing on
his ranch. The display If corn by
John Mcbride and the display of pop
corn and sweet corn by John Keske-
lmeti is also worthy of mention. The
display of honey from the various
'apiaries in the county will hold their
own with all competitors.
Mr.. Wall states that more attention
Twill be given to the artistic arrange
ment of the display than has been
given to that feature in the two years
last past and with the good allotment
lof space and the exceptionally fine
lproducts, Musselshell county should,
this year, be able to hold It's own
}against all comers, and make a very
screditable showing in competition with
the older and more highly developed
counties, who spend large sums each
year for the honor of having artistic
arrangement of the rich products that
they show.
Unfortunately the displays from the
west end of the county were so slow in
arriving that hey could not be added
to the exhibits. thus leaving it practi-
cally all to the products of the east
and central portions of the county.
This is to be regretted inasmuch as
very fine crops indeed have been
raised around Ryegate this year.

RYEGATE, MONT. Sept. 15.-At
the point where the upper Musselshell
valley ends and the lower commences,
about midway between Harlowton on
the west and Roundup on the east on
the line of the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railroad is located the small
but thrifty, enterprising town Of Rye
gate.
The connecting link between the
lower and upper valleys is a narrow
gateway Of rim rock, thru which the
Musselshell river came sometime
ahead, cut for both itself and the Mil
waukee passage way. The begin
ming fthe lower valley is the recog-
nized rye producing section of Mon.
tana, hence the appropriate name Rye
gate. The town Of Ryegate, with its
bank. hotel. weekly newspaper, two
elevators, two lumber yards several
up-to-date general merchandise stores,
q new school house, built of native
sandstone quarried from the rom rock
cliffs behind it, with several saloons,
is located on the upper portion Of the
old Joe Simms sheep ranch, one of
the most noted sheep ranches Of this
famous valley, which several years
ago was sold to syndicate who have
plated the townsite, cutting the lower
portion into acre tracts which readily
sold and are selling at $3.50 each and
some cottages and bungalows. Dur
ing the banner years of the sheep
industry of Montana when the sheep
man was the proud monarch of all he
surveyed, and some that he didn't, and
before the political advent of Walsh
and Myers, who have lent their able
assistance in putting this one Of Mon
tana's greatest industries on the bum
this, the old Simms ranch, was one
of the most famous of them all. For
miles and miles in either direction
from the Ryegate postoffice grazed
many flocks and herds. Billings
about fifty miles distant, was then the
nearest trading post and the long
lanky appearance of Joe Simms, on
the streets, after shearing time. was
the forerunner of big wool clip at
fancy price and the return of many
wagcnloads OF grub and general ranch
supplies purchased from the Billings
stores.
This portion of the valley was al.
ways noted for its especial adaptability
to the growing of rye, which before
being supplanted by King Alfalfa, was
grown on his ranch for winter hay
for the sheep and has been known to
produce two good crops a year. While
at that day the growing of wheat was
never attempted, 1t was nevertheless

Mount Vernon Regents Refuse the
80 Request Of Gambler of {
Commerce

As had been been anticipated, the Re-
gents have notified hhe Chamber of
Commerce Of Washington that the
grounds of Mount Vernon will not be
opened 10 the public on Sundays.
Movements have been inaugurated
during the past twenty-one years
to induce the management of the
tomb of Washington ITO allow the
ground to be opened on that day,
and reasons have been urged which
seemed difficult to Ignore. The Ia
dies, however, have remained firm.
Secretary Thomas Grant, of the
Washington Chamber Of Commerce,
yesterday received reply to pc
tItion from the Chamber asking that
Mount Vernon be open to she public
on Sundays from the regents of the
Mount Vernon Ladies Association
refusing to change the rule.
The Chamber Of Commerce point
ed out that if open Sundays Mount
Vernon would be visited each year by
thousands who are unable to make
the "trip On week days.
The Gazette has never been able
to see any good reason why the gates
at Mount Vernon should not be open
ed On Sunday. It is about the only
holiday thousands of people ,espe,
cially such as work in the various IN
dustries, have to muse at interest
ing spots, but as such places are h:r
m:dticalv sealed on thai day, many
living contiguous to Mount Vernon
and public buildings Of Washington
die without entering the same.
Many well-meaning people inter
est themselves in elemosenary move
,ments intended for the bettermen
Of the race, and schemes iDtendet
to provide entertainment which vii
| keep workingmen from beer gardens
and Sunday excursions are exploit
ed. Were public buildings and place
like Mount Vernon kept open on tina
day much good might be accomplish
nd
