Washington, October sI,---An official pre-eiection statement. assued jointly tonight by the democratic national and congressional committees, predicts \ democratic majority of approximately 100 In the House Of Representative ate ss the outcome of next Tuesdays election. The statement says in part,
 Reports gathered with particular care from all parts of the country in- dioate a sweeping democratic victory Tuesday The programme of progress sive legielation enacted by Congress under the leadership of President Wl- son has made profound impression on the country.
 Democratic sentiment ia particularly strong in that section of the country west uf tho Mississippi. Tms is we'd illus trated in the former republican state Of Montana, where the vote for Congressman Evans and Stout in the primaries ex- ceeded the combined vote of all other parties. Gains are confidently expected iu Kansas. Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wlscon- sin Minnesota and other western states.
 'in the east our reports are particularly gratifying. In the First New Jersey d.s- trict and other districts in the eas, now represented by republicans prospects for democratic success are exeeptiona.ly good Making allowance for the fact tuat qi'- le D. number of democrats in the Sixfs- rd Congress represent strong republican, si.s- tricts which under normal cunaiuons w0 could not hope to win, 1t is difficult to see how the democratic party VII a.i to organize the nteSt House win approxi4 mately 160 ma ajority.
 Our majority in the Senate will he inc creased by the election of senators nt Connecticut. New York. 0ho Kansas and Illinois, all of which are represented now by republicans. Stevens in New Ifamp- shire, Johnson in South Dakota, Purcell
 In North Dakota, Movie in Utah. phelan in California, Husting in Wisconsin have fine chances of success. according to the best reports available. Palmer in Penn sylvenia and Connolly in Iowa appear to be gaining strength rapidly. and our lat est reports from these two states are very reassurng.

London. November 1.--t12,5f .. m.) The foreign office tonight Issued . long statement dealing with the situ- alton In Turkey and protests made by he alleges were breaches of neutrality by Turkey, especially in connection with the former German cruisers Goe- ben and RresIau.
 The statement quotes the note ad- dressed by the Sublime Porte to the powers. in which the ottoman govern ment declared it's neutrality and the British ambassadors note to the Porte in which he complained of breaches of neutrality.
 As Turkey shut off communication with the British ambassador Friday the British government considering this a prelude to further acts of aggression, declared it's intention to take action to protect British interests and British territory and also Egypt from attacks that have been made or threatened. The statement says:
 At the beginning of the war the British Sgovernment gave definite as- surances that if Turkey remained neu- tral Her independence and integrity would be respected during the war and in times of peace.

Raise a Crop Every Year

Fergus County Argus: Before many
years summer following will not be
practiced in Fergus county. 1t is all
but demonstrated that with as deep
blowing as is practiced in the east
and with discing and narrowing
enough to make a proper mulch and.
most important of all, a rotation OF
crops, every tillable acre in Fergus
county should raise a crop every year.
Only a few years ago Campbell was
ridiculed for his ideas on dry land
farming but they have been adopted
as standard for five years or more Oh
millions Of acres which otherwise
would not have been cultivated. Then
came the discovery that some sections
had a sufficient rainfall to conserve
moisture enough for a crop every
year and Fergus county is one of
those sections; provided only that the
moisture is conserved by mulching
and that the same crop be not raised
! year after year on the same grouni.
1t is too early to advocate a gen
eral adoption of the crop every
year" idea, but it is not too early tc
advocate a trial Of the plan on a snla)l
acreage by every farmer. There will
doubtless be disappointments but they
car be traced to improper methods;
to shallow blowing or a working OF
the soil which does not make a good
surface mulch.

Observations by Luke Mcluke

You can dream that you are out of
debt, but you can't sleep yourself out
of it.
A man can have no finer accom-.
plishment than that of minding his
own business.
Did you v notice how much bet
ter you feel when you pay for what
you get?
There are other ways to waste
time, but one of the worst ways it to
tell your troubles.
Love is so blind that a fellow often
doesn't know her face is covered with
powder until he tastes it.
The world owe you a living, but
you don't have to go to the peniten.
tiary to collect it.
When the intoxication of love re.
suits in a headache the lawyers pre-.
scribe aromatic spirits of alimony.
There are all kinds of durn fools in
the world. Some of them go over
Niagara Falls in barrels and others
marry for money.
Isn't it funny how lots of people
who haven't half as much brains as
you have seem to get along better
than you do?
Mere man imagines he is some big
dog as an inventor. But a woman can
take a couple of old awnings and an
old hammock and turn them into q
fashionable gown.-Cincinnati Enquir.

much of the area later to become
known as Montana. Prior to the or
g~anization of Idaho in 1863 much of
Montana-the territory west Of the
Missouri river-was attached to Ne
braska. From the time of the Louis.
lana purchase until long after Mis-
souri, had been created, the portion
of the Northwest from which Mon
tana was carved was in reality gov
erned by the fur traders and mission
aries. After the organization OF Ore
gon an attempt was made to include
the western section of Montana, not
then known by that name, in that
territory. The Jesuits had full n
troll Of the valleys commanded by
their missions. Gold had not been
been discovered, and there were no
disputes to be settled. The need of
courts was not felt until later. Parts
of Montana were included in the ter
ritories of Washington and Dakota
before the organization of Idaho.
Judge Edgerton had no difficulty,
under the circumstances, in convinc-
ing congress that the territory of Mon
tana was politically desirable. A bill
creating the territory was approved
May rs, 1864, and Mr.. Edgerton was
appointed governor. He received his
commission June % and at once as
sumed office. The territorial secre-
tary, Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher,
was commissioned nor than a year
later-Aug 4, 1865.
Judge Edgerton had gone to the IA
tional capital from Bannack, where
he had been stationed as chief justice
of Idaho. He returned to Bannack,
which became the seat of government
Of the new territory. The first cleo
ton of Montana was held Oct. "a,
1864. Samuel Mclean was chosen
delegate to congress. A legislature
consisting of 20 O more members was
elected. Seven >of these formed the
council and Is the lower house. The
majority was composed of democrats
and a opposed to the national ad-
ministration.
