.FLATHEAD LOOKS GOOD
TO RAILROAD OFFICIALS

Butte and Moiese valley was
made, arriving at Dixon about
five o'clock.
Delegations from Dixon, st.
lgnatius, Roman and Poison were
in the party and it is felt by all
that the visit of the railroad Of
ficials will result benefcially to
the valley and probably in the
early construction of the road
from Dixon north.
Members of the Roman dele
cation are profuse in their praise
and complimentary remarks of
the treatment accorded them by
the Poison people as a whole.
President Harbert of the Poison
chamber of commerce was es-
pecially considerate of the visit
ing delegations and his manage
ment of the affair and evident
desire to treat all the delegations
fairly was just cause for the
many remarks of approval.

MONTANA STATE FAIR
GREATEST EVER HELD

The ladies also sent some of their
best efforts in the culinary line,
there being cakes, bread, jellies,
etc., to make ones appetite keen,
where a good dinner was as diff
cult to get as in Helena during
the crowded time of fair week.
The midway attractions were
in line with those generally found
at such fairs, no better, no
worse. One thing was seen
which is worthy of special men,
ton, and that was a 4-year old
range steer raised near Great
Falls, weighing 3400 pounds.
This steer had not been exhibited
before and was only four weeks
off the range. 1t was some
steer.
The attendance was above
previous years and the crowd
was the best natured ever as
sembled together. The races were
good, and much money was wag-
cred each day on the result of
each event. In fact the betting
ring was the principal attraction.
Secretary Breitenstein is en-
titled to much credit for labor he
has devoted to securing an exhib-
it worthy of the state and as an
advertiser of the states resources
he stands at the head.
Missoula county's exhibit con-
sisted solely and alone in the in
dividual display of farm products
grown by Noah S.Wood near Ra-
valli and St. Ignatius. Mr.. Wood
had very creditable exhibit, all
grown by himself and it consisted
of almost every thing one can
grow on a farm anywhere. He was
given a good corner in agricul-
tural hall and had it not been for
him western Montana people
would probably have doubted the
ability of the state to grow all
the stuff shown in other county
booths. With the honor of hav-
ing a director of the state fair
association Missoula county made
a pitiful showing, except in
fruits and flowers.

ARRESTED ON CHARGE Of
ASSAULT WITH KNIFE

Charlie Michel, an Indian liv-
ing Is miles northwest of Pol
son. was arrested Tuesday last
by Deputy Marshal Chas. Nor
gan on warrant charging him
with having assaulted an Indian
woman named Susan Brooks with
a knife and inflicting serious
wound. The warrant was issued
by Frank c. Bailey the U. s.
commissioner at Poison and was
served while the latter was at
Camas attending the lot sale,
consequently the prisoner was
brought before C. +. Rathbone
the commissioner at Roman, late
Tuesday evening for an examin-
alton, but he waived the hearing
and bail was fixed at $3.50 which
he was unable to furnish, and
was committed to the county Jail
at Missoula awaiting trial.
No particulars were learned
concerning the facts in the mat
ter nor how serious. the wound
was supposed to be. 1t is said,
however, that the fracas arose
during a drunken spree and was
not a premeditated affair. Dep
uty Marshal Morgan went on to
Ravalli Tuesday evening in hopes
of catching No. A Wednesday
morning for Missoula with the
prisoner. He was accompanied
by t. l.. Bateman of Ravalli in
the latter's auto.

REVENUES UNDER
NEW TARIFF BILL

Now that the new tariff bill is
ready for the Presidents sigma.
ture some facts concerning it's op.
Grafton will be of interest. Sena-
tor Simmons chairman of the sen
ate appropriations committee has
given out a complete estimate of
the federal revenues and eXpen-
ditures under the new tariff bill as
made up by the experts of the
treasury. The total estimates is
as follows:
For the year ending July 1,
1914.
Receipts, $1,029, 900, 600; OK
penditures. $1,013, 600, 600; sur
plus, SIG, 600, 600.
For the year ending July /,
1915.
Receipts, $l,O26, 600, 600; cx-
penditures, 81, ,OO8, 600, 600. sur
plus, $18, 600, 600.
The estimated receipts under
the customs tariff, the income tax
and the corporation tax, embrac-
ed IN the new tariff are given as
follows:
For 1914 customs revenues,
S27O, 900, 600; income tax 90
months), S66, 100000. Corpor-
alton tax, $3S, 600, 600.
For 1915, customs revenues,
$249, 0OO, 600; income tax, $S3, :
900, 600; corporation tax, 500, 600, =
600.
The customs revenues will be
larger for the current fiscal year
1914,' said Senator Simmons,
because the rates Of the Payne
Aldrich laws have been in force
for the first quarter and will
continue in force on wool and
woolen goods until Jan. /, and on
sugar until March /. With the
next fiscal year, beginning July l,
1914, all the rates Of the new law
will be in operation and the tariff
duties collected will be smaller.
'I'he income tax, which is col
lected for the calendar year, can
be collected only for lOmonths Of
the present year, as the law spec
ifies that collection shall not 90
back of March !. 1913. The es-
timated increase in the total ex-
penditures of the government for
1915, SIS, 900, 600, is based on the
fact that smaller expenditures
are expected for the army and
navy estimates.
The balance total of the es-
Inmates, as given in the treasury
estimates is made up of receipts,
internal revenue receipts, the
profits from public. land sales
and other sources of federal in
come.

The Worth fWhile society met
at the home of Mrs. A. w. Mel
son last Thursday with large
attendance. The house was
beautifully decorated with au-
tumn flowers, asters and golden
rods intermingled with the ma
tional colors made a charming
color scheme. After the devo-
tional service the ladies were
very busy formulating plans for
the social and entertainment to
be given Friday night of next
week, Oct. 10. During the social
hour the hostess served dainty
refreshments. The next regular
meeting will be at the home of
Mrs. H. l.. Newett at which
time current events will be dis
cussed.

GEO. FARRELL'S CRANARY
WITH 800 BUSHELS BURNS

George Farrell lost one of his
granaries by fire last Saturday
afternoon, resulting in a small
loss, however. Mr.. Farrell lives
about nine miles northwest of
town and was in the field plow-
ing and burning Jim Hill mustard
as it accumulated in front of the
plow, when he was called away
to drive some of his hogs from a
neighbors field and thinking the
fire was out paid little attention
to the danger. While away a
whirlwind came along and fam
ned the Goals into a blaze and
carried it directly to the straw
stack, and it was soon too warm
in that vicinity to permit him
putting it out.
The loss was the granary and
some of the wheat, but the
greater portion of the grain was
not damaged much, it being his
intention to feed it to his hogs
anyway.
The total loss is estimated at
about $lO0, and George considers
himself fortunate in escaping
with no more damage.

ALMOST AS GOOD
AS COUNTY FAIR

The exhibit made in the Big
Store show windows for the
benefit of the N. P. officials last
Saturday, was almost as good as
a county fair. In fact it was
much better than the Missoula
county exhibit at the state fair.
All the produce shown was Sc
cured in two days by A. M. Sterl-
ing, A. M. Thornburgh, DR.. Hall,
1ver M. Brandjord and ]. D..
Larson. Some of the exhibits
were brought in by the growers,
but very few had notice in ad-
vance of it's being desired and
consequently it was necessary to
go out and bring in much of it.
To those who see only such
grain, grass, fruit or flowers as
they produce themselves, it was
a revelation, and a great many
were heard to remark that if they
had known it sooner they could
have furnished still better. Much
of the grain raised here this year
had already been threshed and
the bundle exhibit was small for
this reason. The grain could
have been more extensive, but it
was sufficient to show the variety
and quality. In vegetables it
was good, the carrots, beets,
turnips, radishes, potatoes, cab
bage, ETC., being of excellent
quality, equal in every way to
anything shown at the state fair,
with the possible exception of
potatoes, which this year are
smaller here than in years past,
owing to lack of moisture. The
fruit, so far as size and coloring
went, was as good as can be
found anywhere in the state and
shows that the Flathead can pro-
duce the goods.
The N. P. officials looked the
exhibit over with great interest
and were free to say that all the
country needed was a railroad.
Those who exhibited at this
show were VIM. Arnold, Cash
Coulter, A. A. Dix, Fred Rouil-
lier, S. G. Irish, H. ]. and L. C.
Irish, C. w. Hollingsworth, Mrs.
Jas. Mcconnell. Mrs. F. NJ. Mer-

heretofore held in the state.
Record breaking crowds were in
attendance every day, although
Monday and Tuesday were
stormy, both snow and rain fall
ing each day. People were shiv-
ering around in winter clothing,
the women wearing their furs
and the men heavy overcoats.
Still they enjoyed the exhibits
and the races.
The agricultural display from
the eastern, central, southern
and northern portions Of Mon
tana were a revelation to many
people who were unacquainted
with the resources of Montana
in this respect. The counties
exhibited with separate booths,
each striving to carry off the
blue ribbon, and it was a diff
cult matter to determine which
was entitled to the honor. 1t
could we'll have been bestowed
on any one of a dozen counties
and not caused any indignation.
Cascade. Beayerhead. Fergus,
Carbon, Yellowstone, De er
Lodge, Rosebud, Blaine, Hill,
Custer, Musselshell, in fact so
many were there with the best
they had that one became
bewildered at the display Of
corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye,
grasses, potatoes, turnips, water
melons, tomatoes, in fact every
thing grown in a temperate zone.
It was a showing which will have
its effect for years to come on
those who supposed that Mon
tana could not produue anything
but mineral and stock. 1t opened
the eyes of those who knew bet
ter, also, as they confessed to
being surprised at the extent of
what Montana is capable of pro-
ducing in an agricultural way.
Park county was given first prize
on best general exhibit, with
Cascade first in the largest vari-
ETY. of products.
In the live stock pens another
surprise was awaiting all who
visited them. Mammoth draft
horses, beautiful driving horses,
and cattle Of all descriptions and
kinds vert there. In the latter
display were found the nucleus
of what is to become the pro-
geny of the many dairy herds
which soon will be found all over
the state. The dairy and all pur-
pose COW is taking the place of
the range animal and the future
beef of the state must be pro-
duced on the farms. There were
Jerseys, Holsteins, Guernseys,
Swiss, Shorthorns and Herfords.
Those which attracted the writer
most were the Shorthorns and
the Swiss. They appeared the
best adapted for all purposes, be-
ing fine mixers and just as good
for beef purposes just the kind
for the small farmer to have
about his place.
The hogs shown were also as
fine as could be found anywhere.
All the known breeds were ex-
hibited and the number was
large, showing that Montana is
raising much pork or getting in
a position to do so in the very
near future. They were of the
black. white, red and spotted
kinds, all of fine bone and breed
ing and will be lifting farm mort
cages one of these days just like
the hogs Of Iowa and other east
ern states have done in years
past.
In machinery hail was a good
exhibit, but not as large as one
expected to find, manufacturers
evidently not knowing that Mon
tana is a state which will soon
be buying more freely of this
kind Of goods than in the past.
The show of fancy work by the
ladies was a most excellent one,
all new pieces, as the manage
ment does not allow the same
work exhibited the second time.
