Letter From d. Jelfreys.

Sheriff Nj. II. Paige recently re-
ceived letter from DR. 0. A.
JeffreyS, who is now located in
HuIualoa, Hawaii. and We produce
il in part as follows:
Dear Friend -:
We had a rather deSolate trip
through the desert of Nevada.
We sold our old ear in Reno
and bought Chalmers Six which
has given us very good service so
far. We got caught in a snow
storm ON the summit and had to
ship the ear 40 miles. The snow
was 4 feet deep. The California
roads were dream. We had a
good time in Frisco with Iva and
Francis Walters. We received
your telegram as we were going
out the Golden Gate The first
day out we saw school OF whales
and several porpoise. After we
got within 600 miles of Honolulu
we saw thousands of flying fish.
i was sea sick one day but the
balance of my bunch were not
sick at all. One man fell on deck
and broke his hip. one lady fell
and broke her arm and Maud fell
and disloeated her ankle and to-
day is the first day she has been
able te walk. The last night on
sea the captain gave swell dim
ner. 1t was a very gay affair.
We danced every night on deck.
There was a Hawaiian band on
the ship and sang and played
Hawaiian music all the way Their
music is very beautiful When
they played and sang the Hawai-
ian Farewell song as we left the
dock in Frisco, there was not a
dry eye on board or on the dock.
II is the good old summer
time" here. The temperature is
81 today. There could not be a
more beautiful place ON earth
than this and we like it fine.

A GREAT OVATION FOR BRYAN

The women who met at Atlantic City
recently were wise in refusing to
make woman suffrage partisan is
sue. Surely the presumption of wis.
dom is on the side of the majority
who oppose making woman suffrage

side of the few who are trying to use
the issue to aid the republican candi-

"And why does the womens party
rely on Mr.. Hughes utterances in
stead Of on the republican platform? !?
Republican senators and republican
congressman are not bound by any
thing that Candidate Hughes says.
They are bound only by the republi-
can platform which is not as strong
as the democratic platform. The re-
publican platform after indorsing wom-
an suffrage, leaves the question to the
states, while the democratic platform
recommends the extension of woman
suffrage to women.

bRASSEY BACK
FROM THE FAIR
ATTENDED MONTANA'S PIONEER
ASSOCIATION, OF WHicHH HE
is A CHARTER MEMBER.
SAYS STATE FAIR IS WONDERFUL

Edward Brassey returned from Hell.
ena last night where he had been at
tending the pioneers meeting and the
state fair. In speaking of the pioneers s
meeting Mr.. Brassey said the atten.
dance had not been up to the past
standards but this could be attributed
to the fact that so many of the old.
timers wished to avoid the large fair
crowds and consequently did not at.
tend. The meeting was full of inter.
est, though, and it was his opinion
Livingston would land the next years
meeting, although Lewistown, too, was
being seriously considered.
The judge says the fair is a most
wonderful exhibition of all sorts CT
farm products and live stock, and that
from every angle it is an elegant fair.
He was OF the opinion Musselshell
county had the best vegetable exhibit,
but said for artistic arrangement Fer.
gus county was superior to all. The
Fergus county display of grains and
grasses stands out also.
program of entertainment has
been arranged which particularly at.
tracted attention. Aviator Thompson
is daily doing almost unbelievable
feats in the air, and the auto polo
games are furnishing thrills for the
crowd. In the mornings the band com.
posed OF children from the orphans
home at Twin Bridges, state institu.
ton, serenades the various hotels and
excites no small amount of admira
tion.
Mr.. Brassey says that while the
weather was inclined to be cool, the
attendance had been greater than ever
before, and that the train on which
he returned was jammed as far as
the Falls, which would indicate that
Lewistown people are going to remain
for the end.
