The most gratifying development
from the Inland Empire immigration
Campaign initiated by the Spokane
Chamber of Commerce, is the fact
that many of the largest land holders
have shown a willingness to break up
their large holdings, and sell to new
settlers on easy terms In almost every
community in the Big Bend country,
the Palouse, the sections north of Spo-
kane, Northern Idaho and Western
Montana, the land owners seem to
have realized the necessity of some
active effort being made to attract
more people to make land more pro-
ductive The result of this sentiment
has been that the listing committees
in each locality have been able to re-
port satisfactory lists of land offerings
for use in the general campaign
The first book of land listings of the
Inland Empire will be used to cover
the fair circuits of the middle western
states which begin the latter part of
August The immigration display
exhibits of the products of the Inland
Empire; and the lists of land offerings
will be distributed among the people
who are apt to be be interested in the
farming land of this section of the
country.
The lists of land offerings forward
ed to the Spokane Chamber of Com
merce will enable the general immi-
grafton committee of the Inland En-
pre to do effective work along this
line, as it has the fine combination of
good farm lands at reasonable prices
and on easy terms.
The communities that have given
active attention to the matter of COM
pleting their land listings are bound
to be benefited from the coming Of
new farmers and their families, as
result Of the campaign that will be
conducted the balance of this year and

MANY DEMOCRAT
CANDIDATES HERE

The Roman Democratic clut
held an open meeting at the
opera house in Roman last Satur-
day evening, and all the candi-
dates before the people for NOM
ination by that party were in
vited to attend. Twelve candi-
dates, all told, put in appear
ance, including the local candi-
date, D. N. Mason. There were
Arthur Higgins, Hugh Kelley,
Louis Kennedy and Albert Mar
ion, all wanting to be sheriff,
Clarence Prescott and Frank
Nelson, candidates for county
commissioner, p. C. Mccarthy
and Harry Y. Gephart, for treas
urer, Albert Besancon for county
attorney, w. J. Darlington for
county clerk and recorder, John
H. Helfrich for county auditor,
and Dan Currie for assessor, who
had places on the platform,
while Hon. John H. Tolan made
the speech of the evening. The
weather was so sultry it was a
difficult matter to induce people
to go inside and listen to as en-
tertaining a talker as Mr.. Tolan,
but quite a number, many of
them being ladies and repub-
licans, gave strict attention to
what he had to say.
John N. Bailey, president of
the local club, presided and in a
short Introductory speech pre-
sented Mr.. Tolan. Mr.. Bailey
makes a good presiding officer
and filled the position creditably.
Mr.. Tolan's speech was short
and aside from his remarks of a
local nature, was devoted to a re-
view Of what President Wilson
had accomplished during his
term Of office. Necessarily much
of it was apologetic, but he pre-
dicted that the next two years
would show much accomplished
for the great good of the country.
After the speaking the hall
was cleared and dancing occupied
the attention of those who in
dulge in this pastime until long
after midnight.
The candidates were busy

MONTANA FARMERS AND
THE MONTANA STATE FAIR

From the 1914 premium list,
issued by the Montana State Fair
Board, it would seem that there
are plenty of inducements for
Montana farmers to make their
lands produce crops of the kind
that are found only in Montana,
i. e., the best in the world both
as to quantity and quality. Any
number of prizes are offered for
the best exhibits of the many
and various products of Montana
soil. There are several that
ought to tempt even the farmer
who never tried for a prize of
any kind in his life.
The Montana State Fair Board
is offering the largest and most
valuable premium ever put up by
la state fair. They are going to
give away a $140O.00 automobile
for the best five sheaves of
wheat and one bushel of wheat
raised in Montana in 1914 and
displayed at the state fair Sept.
2l-26. This is certainly some
thing worth trping for. Son e

Latest advices from Europe
show that a general war is ir
progress. The first country t6
declair war was that of Austria.
Hungary against Servia, ano
Russia Immediately notified Aus
ria-Hungary that she would not
permit the despoilation Of Ser
via. Then Germany rushed tc
the support Of Austria Hun gary
and declared war with Russia
and France. No sooner had Ger
many declared war than she
begun the movement Of troops,
some toward Russia and others
into France, penetrating Bel
gium in getting her armies into
French territory. Then England
was appealed to by Belgium to
maintain her neutrality and Ger
many refusing to accede to the
demand of England and get out
and stay out Of Belgium, Eng
land declared war against Ger
many. Thus it is that all Europe
is one vast battle field with
millions Of men being hurried
into battle.
Reports SO far indicate but
little fighting, one engagement
having taking place between the
Germans and Belgiurns in which
the Germans were repulsed and
a sea fight between French and
Germans in which the latter lost
cruiser by being sunk and had
two war ships captured.
All the available troops in each
of the countries at war have
been mobilized and are being
hurried to stragetic points or to
places to repel the invasion
which is threatened. 1t is not
expected that any great battles
will be fought for some days yet
as none of the armies are in po-
sition to offer or give battle.
The days are being utilized in
hurrying the troops to the diff
ferent places in preparation for
what is to eventually come.
The relative strength of the
countries are: Germany, S.
100000 soldiers and navy Of
1926 vessels of all kinds; Austria
Hungary, $500, 900 soldiers and
a navy Of no consequence;
France, 4, 600, 900 soldiers; Rus
sia, 5000, 900 soldiers; England
100000 soldiers; Servia 100000
soldiers and combined navy of
over 1900 vessels of all kinds.
This gives the nations opposed to
Germany and Austria a much
larger land force and a navy al
most so much greater as to be
beyond comparison.
England has already voted
war budget Of $685., 600, 600 and
Germany 81, 250, 100000 these
vast sums showing the tremen-
dous cost which the war is ex-
pected to total. From reliable
sources it has been estimated
that the total cost per day now
is $54, 600, 600 and should the war
not last longer than the Franco
Prussian war of 1870 it will total
in excess of $1,000, 100000, to
say nothing of such war in
IDENTITIES as may be exacted by
the victors.
In Servia, where the fight
started, the Austrians captured
Belgrade, the capital, without
opposition, the Servians fleeing
to Nish where the seat of gov
ernment has been established.

vance but have been repulsed at
