The efforts of the Democratic news
papers of the state to put the Repub-
lican majority in the senate in the hole
because the Whiteside bill limiting
race track meetings in Montana to six
days, was killed there, has received a
severe setback since the introduction
by Senator George H. Stevens of Cho-
teau county of a bill to abolish race
track gambling altogether in this
state, but placing no limitation upon
the length of race meetings. AS Sem
ator Stevens is a member of the Com
mittee or Public Morals, which report
ed adversely upon the Whiteside bill,
it may be taken for granted that his
measure represents the sentiments of
that body, which it would seem, is
against ace track gambling in any
form or for any length of time.
Along the same lines, Senator j. E.
Edwards, president pro tenn of the
senate and floor leader of the major
ity has given out an interview, in
which he declares that the various
counties should decide for themselves
as to the length of race meetings to
be held within their boundaries, and
further declaring against gambling at
the state fair race meeting. AS proof
that a state fair may be successfully
conducted without race track gambl-
ing, he cites the Minnesota State Fair.
considered the best in the United
States, where race track gambling is
not allowed.

HAVRE DEFEATS GLASGOW

BY winning from Glasgow, Friday
evening, the fast Havre basket ball
team added another game to it's long
list OF consecutive victories, making
seven in a row. A large crowd was
on hand to witness the game and spur
ed the local boys on to greater efforts
with their cheering and encourage
ment. The final score stood 81 to
IA with Havre at the long end. The
local boys were clearly outclassed by
the superior playing and team work
OF the Havre aggregation but put up
a game fight and were in the game
from whistle to whistle. The Havre
boys were we'll pleased with the treat
ment they received at the hands of the
Glasgow people. This is evidenced by
the following article in the Great
Falls Tribune of Wednesday:
1.-THE Havre boys returned from
Glasgow Saturday. They were loud
in their praises of the splendid recep-
ton given them. After the game a
banquet was served in the home sci
ence department of the Glasgow high
school. Following the banquet a dane
ing party was held. The Havre boys
brought home word to the effect that
Glasgow is we'll pleased over the re-
ception given them when they were
here in December and it is evident
that the finest of feeling has been de-
veloped between the two institutions.
1t is planned to extend their mutual
relations next year into other phases
of student activity. Glasgow has a
fine new high school building and their
school is growing and developing much
as the Havre school is growing"

The report of the Republican SEN
ators who are members of the legis-
lative joint committee on the investi-
cation of state offices, shot more holes
in the political fences of the Demo-
cratic state administration, than mere
oratory during the present session of
the legislature will mend. 1t is quite
evident that the Democratic majority
in the house proposes to kill any
sures which the Republicans may in
troduce looking towards retrenchment
in the administration of the states af-
fairs.
This is evidenced by the fact that
the O'Shea bill to abolish the state
tax commission is low on its last legs
in the house despite it's Democratic
origin; the Williams bill to abolish the
Office of state parole commissioner and
the Stevens bill to abolish the Office
of state steamboat Inspector have
been all killed in the house.
The senate half of the joint inves-
tigating committee recommends not
only the abolition Of all Of these Of
fees. but advises a reduction in the
forces of the game warden's office; a
change in the system of selecting de-
putty sealers of weights and measures;
the consolidation of the board Of sheep
commissioners, the board of livestock
commissioners, the livestock sanitary
board and the state veterinarians Of
flee into one department; suggests
that the three state boards which en-
ploy civil engineers, get along with
one whose services may be divided
among them and hat the state tu-
berculosis sanitarium be placed in the
supervision of the state hospital for
the insane.
The report stated that the only
Democratic state officer who came for
ward and freely offered and endeavor-
ed to assist the committee in it's work,
was j. M. Kennedy, commissioner of
publicity and agriculture, and it as
serts that this office is efficiently ad-
ministered and should be continued as
at present. The investigation was
conducted at the personal expense of
the senate half of the committee, Sem
ators Dwight, Edwards and Grande.

success by the exhibits they make at
the fair this fall. The farmers of
Valley county know Mr.. West will
have their interests before him in the
work of the fair and he will ably re-
present them. Having been elected
County Commissioner last fall, and
now chairman of the board, Mr.. West
will come in contact with both fea-
lures of the interest of the farmer.
He will add good business Judgment
as we'll as live interest to the work of
the fair board.
Treasurer Hauge's report shows the
receipts of the fair in 1912 to have
been $4,O48.84 with expenditures of
$3922.7O leaving a balance on hand,
January LIST, 1915, of $126.14. This
is a very good showing for a county
fair.
The report of Secretary S. C. Moore
gives some valuable data covering the
work of the Valley County Fair for
1914 as compared with that
of 1913. The receipts for 1913 were
5000 more than in 1914, although in
the latter there were but w good
days while in the former year four
days were enjoyed. The expense of
the 1914 fair was 81 1-3 per cent less
than 1913, with exhibits almost 500
per cent larger. There were 80 exhi-
bitors in 1913 and 419 in 1914. There
were 3776 admissions at the fair in
1914 a very close number to that of
1913.
The Fair Association improved the
woman's building, doubling its size and
making it more comfortable; the ag-
rlcultural building was repaired and
improved, as was the exhibit barn for
live stock. This was doubled in size
with a ventilated rock covering it
making it the best stock barn at any
county fair grounds in the state. Pig
stalls We're provided as were also
coops for fouls to accommodate a large
showing.
There are on hand tools, water
troughs, pals, burlap, bunting and
cheese cloth which can be used this
year as we'll as 1000 exhibitors claim
checks, entry books, and admission
tickets sufficient for this years fair.
OF the retiring board too much a n
not be said in their praise, especially
is this so of Mr.. II. l.. Sprague who
Tor the past two years has devoted
a great amount of energy to make
the fair a success. With him in this
work were J. L. Truscott, T. A. Hauge,
and DR.. M. d. Hoyt, who spent many
valuable days away from their per-
sonal business, freely giving their time
| and money to the work in hand that

MORE HOMES FOR SETTLERS

From Washington comes an obscure
little dispatch which, nevertheless, con-
tains a message of good cheer for
northern Montana. The report an
nounces the enactment by congress of
a bill throwing open to settlement the
Fort A~ssinniboine military reserva
ton. This tract of land on the edge
of which is Havre, the county seat of
Hill county, contains 1863 900 acres.
When it was set aside for the uses
of the military post, since abandoned,
it was considered worthless except for
grazing purposes. AS a matter of
fact, dry-land farming has been sue
c~essfully conducted for several years
in the neighborhood of Havre, and
much of this reservation is capable
of cultivation.
Under the terms of the bill which
has gone to the white house for the
presidents signature the land will be
sold to settlers on fair terms. The
state is given the privilege of pur-
chasing two thousand acres on which
are located the buildings of the old
most. The hill carries an a~nnronri.
ton to pay for the surveying of the
lands and their classification, and this
work should be commenced in the near
future. The development of these lands
will add measurably to the population
and wealth of the state.
The bill just sent to the president
means the final passing of Fort ASSN
niboine. Although this post was aban-
doned some years ago, there always
had been some chance that it might
be again put to government use.
While not the oldest post in the state,
it was for many years the largest in
this section. It was a cavalry post,
and because of it's position in the
Indian country and its nearness to
the Canadian line, it ranked among

Moser stated, land if the Capitol Com

branch will be established and a stock
carried which will, not only make it
more convenient for the local dealers
to purchase fruits, vegetables and nuts
but it will be the means of their saw
ing money upon the purchase price.
No other support is asked by the
wholesale commission firm from the
local retail dealers, except that pur-
chases of the goods they carry be
made of the local branch. A man
will be put in charge of the branch
here who will make the towns east as
far as Williston and west to Malta,
deliveries to be made from the Glas-
gov branch. In this manner it is be-
lieved that straight car shipments can
be made. Such fruits as cannot be
handled here in that quantity will be
divided between Havre and Glasgow.
The Capitol Commission Co. branch
opened in Glasgow marks another
great stride in the development of
this city. 1t is the first of many other
wholesale and jobbing firms who will
eventually be making Glasgow their
point of distribution for this great
and rapidly developing business dis
trict. In a very short time will be
found, groceries, dry goods, machin-
cry, and implement houses and many
others establishing branches here to
properly handle the eve increasing
business which will result from the
vast agricultural development now 60
ing ahead throughout northeastern
Montana. Without doubt the new
business will be welcomed by the re-
tail merchants Of Glasgow as a very
much desired and substantial addi-
ton to the business activities of this
rapidly developing metropolis.
