PECTED AT HELENA WHEN
COPPER CROWD GET INSTRUC-
TIONS FROM SIXTH FLOOR.
On Friday night last the Cascade
Trades and Labor Assembly, official
central body for all the unions in and
around Great Falls, went on record
as indorsing and pledging themselves
to the support of the new compensa-
ton act drafted by the Nonpartisan
league and to be presented at Helena
this session.
A great deal of interest and appre-
baton was stirred up over the pre-
sentation of the bill to the Assembly
by the Legislative Committee who
had the thing in hand and the warm
" expressed admiration for the man.
ner in which the bill was drawn, to-
ing the discussion Of the various
clauses showed very conclusively that
the proposed legislation embraced
those points which had been so skill
fully left out when the present law
was drawn.
A. C. M. Compensation.
The old law which will go into the
discard as soon as the League bill
becomes law, was drawn, it will be
remembered, not because the A. G..
M. wished to be fair to anybody but
themselves, but because for one
thing such an expense was continu-
ally occurring owing to the constant
legal fights centering around civil
claims for damage to injured miners
and smeltermen that it was found
better to enact system of "compen-
sation" or rather automatic dismissal
of the wrecks of industry for given
sum, by which means a great deal of
expense was lifted off the company.
Also the workers of the state, be-
coming tired of having to fight their
cases through the courts, drafted a
bill which approximates the present
League effort very closely and which
the Copper crowd were so alarmed
over that they forthwith enacted into
law, their own pet measure, which
the wage workers and farmers have
suffered under ever since.
League Bill Covers Field.
The League bill covers the whole
ground with great skill and certainty
and leaves no doubt in the minds of
the legislators and the people, just
what is meant and how compensa-
tion should be apportioned. 1t pro-
vides a form of insurance for farm
ers, it looks after dependents, it
seeks to cover unemployment, it has
provisions for industrial conciliation
and most important Of all 1T PRO-
VIDES AMPLE COMPENSATION
FOR VOCATIONAL DISEASES.
This legislation has proven to the
wage workers of this state that the
Nonpartisan league is in deadly ear
nest and is what it claims to be, a
farmer-labor organization for the
purpose of looking after the inter-
ests of both as it has already done
in other states and will do in many
more before the day of its usefulness
has passed.
Labor men everywhere are offer
ing congratulations over the new
bill.

BIG SALE OF REAL ESTATE
THRU CHANCERY COURT.
1878 Acres Of Land Sells
For $lO3,45O.

w. F. Sadler, Clerk and Mast.
er, has completed probably what
has been the largest sales of land
every sold by the Chancery Court
in Jackson county. The sales
were decreed by the April term
of Chancery Court, and included
some of the best farms in the
county. The total amount OF
land sold was 1867 acres at a tot
al price of $103, 45O.
The farm known as the j. j.
Mercer farm located on Roaring
river, in the 9th district, was
purchased by A, H. Johnson, one
of leading farmers of the coun-
ty, for $25, $50. The farm con-
tains 287 acres. and is one of the
best farms on Roaring river.
The B. C. Spivey farm located
on Cumberland river, six miles
Northest of Gainesboro, was bid
in by w. H. Toney for $4,000.
This farm contains 1873 acres, and
is encumbered by the homestead
and dover rights of the widow.
This is a splendid farm, and well
worth the purchase price.
The largest farm sold by the
court was the w. X. Tinsley
farm located on Cumberland NV
er, in the 9Th district, and con-
tains 1877 acres. Mrs. Ada Tins
ley, widow of the deceased. pur-
chased one tract of 26O acres for
$4,000. Besides this Mrs. Tins
ley has the homestead and dow
er rights in the estate. The re-
mainder of the farm. 637 acres,
was purchased by J. M. Draper
and others for $50, $50.
The remaining lands of the
late E. A. Brown located in the
first district three miles South Of
Gainesboro, containing 2l5 acres,
was purchased by Lige Prewitt
for 81, 500.
The Gentry land in the second
district, consisting of 80 acres,
was purchased by T. L. Gentry
for $3.50.
The sale of these farms have
demonstrated two impo rtant
facts; one is that real estate is
selling as high in Jackson coun-
ty as any county in the state;
the other is that the clerk and
and master has developed into a
high class auctioneer. The more
land he sells the better he gets.

Revival Closes at FIynn's

The revival just closed at
Flynn's Lick, was in many re-
spects a great meeting. While
the visible results were not what
we anticipated, yet a great and
lasting good was accomplished.
Rev. Dow Ensor did some real
preaching. and the people from
the surrounding country attend
ed in such large numbers. that
the house would not accomodate
them.
At the closing service two were
received into the church. and
evidence that the constituency
of the church had been greatly
revived, was manifested. The
seed has been sowed. and We
expect them to germinate in the
lives of individuals in years vel
to come.
The revival should not cease
but ought to kept going thruout
the entire year.

Valuable Book Soon To Be
Published By W. {. Myer.

Primitive Man in the Middle
South" is the title of a book
dealing with early life in this
section which will be issued a.
bout the first Of next year. w.
E. Myer. the author, has just
returned from a tour of the Con.
neticut river with a party of
eight scientists. headed by Prof.
Warren X. Moorehead of Pea
body museum, Andover, Mass.
the trip being made from the
headquarters of the river in Can
ada to the sea. The trip was made
in canoes and, during the tour,
the men explored Lake Sunapee,
in the foothills of the White
Mountains, discovering many val
liable exhibits dealing with prim-
tive life in that section. Mr..
Myer also spent some time in
the museum of the east and col
lected much data for his new
book, which promises to be a val
ualable contribution to scientific
literature of the day.
Mr.. Myer will shortly remove
with his family to Nashville.
He has disposed of much of his
holdings in Carthage and says
he expects to become a citizen of
Nashville about the middle Of
October and will devote his time
to scientific research.
AS fuel administrator for Ten
nessee Mr.. Myer rendered valu-
able service to the department
of which Mr.. Garfield was the
head. He is well known over
the state and has devoted much
time to studying the lives and
habits of primitive man in this
section. He says that from his
investigation he is convinced
that the Indians living in the
Middle South represented a type
of civilization closely resembling
that of the Mayas and Toltecs.
which lived before the Aztecs.
Nashville Banner.
This book will be of interest to
the people of Jackson county, as
quite a good deal of material was
furnished by the county for the
book. Mr.. Myer spent some
time In the county three ago this
summer, with a force of men,
and in excavating in the old sites
Of the former burning grounds of
the Indians found a large numb.
er of valuable relicts. Much
valuable information was learned
from the research work he done
in this county.

.'It must be remembered that while
some of the petitions are in -formsini-

OF bills passed by the, last assembly.
For instance the initiated bill provid-

many other purposes which were

many other purposes \ which were

THE situation is somewhat similar
with reference to the petitions filed
for the initiation of a rural credits
law, and a. home building law. The
objections to the bills as passed per-
tain to vicious provisions contained
hereinafter than to the general OBJ
1ect sought. To preserve the general
objects and yet eliminate the objec-
tionable features the easiest way is to
amend the law by initiating or pass
ing a new one. n such a case the
voter has his choice. If he approves
the laws as passed he will of course
not vote for the initiated ones which
would repeal the others.
F. Stacks the Cards.
without having considered the
matter carefully, I am inclined to
think that the governor can, if he de-
sires, stack the cards against the
people and deprive them of the OPP
portunity to vote for or against this
proposed legislation. Under the con-
stitution as amended he must call a
special election to vote upon the ref
erendum petitions where more than
10000 voters have signed them. This
does n see to be mandatory, how
ever, in the case Of the initiated
measures. In other words the COVER
nor as. / size it up, can prevent the
vote being taken upon the initiative
petitions until the next state wide
election. I cannot believe hat he will
do so in the face of the popular de-
mand to have all the matters voted on
at n time.
