Washington, D. c., Sept. 26.-United
State Senator H. L. Myers has given
out for publication the following state
ment about political conditions in Mon
tana:
81 had intended to offer my services
to the Democratic State Central Com
mittee and stump Montana for the
Democratic party this fall, as usual,
but upon my recent return from Eur
ope | was amazed to learn that the
Non Partisan Leaguers, aided by lot
of Socialists and nondescripts and
some Bolshevists, had entered the
democratic primary, captured the
Democratic party of Montana and
nominated its entire State and Con-
gressional ticket, with the apparent
object of putting into effect in Mon
tana the orgy of State Socialism, ex-
travagance and high taxation which
prevails in North Dakota, if not worse.
1t appears to have been done under the
direction of A. c. Townley, a non-resi-
dent of Montana, now under convic-
ton of disloyalty during the recent
war, and of the very worst elements
of politics in Montana.
"This is the result of the rotten pri-
mary law of Montana, which permits
people who are not democrats to vote
in the democratic primary and people
who are not republicans to vote in a
epublican primary. 1t permits political
pirates to capture a party and control
its selections. The same gang has done
it in Montana twice this year. They
did it to the republican party at the
first primary in April. Then the same
outfit did it to the democratic party j,
the August primary. The law is wors,
than a farce and should be repealed
Idaho repealed hers and Montana
should do likewise.
II can see no cause, excuse or justi-
fication for the extraordinary result
of the recent democratic primary in
Montana. Neither farmers nor labor
ers, as class, have cause for any SER
ious complaint of the present Federal
Administration or the present Montana
State Administration. The present Fed
eral Administration has enacted more
laws in favor of farmers and laborers
than had been enacted in many years
before. They have been given nearly
everything they asked The present
State administration of Montana, toe
has been very liberal to them. There
is no reason why the Democratic Party
of Montana should be swallowed by a
hybrid combination of radicals and
revolutionists, bent on ruination, and
there is no reason why a democrat
should swallow their nondescript tick.

Ideal Indian Summer weather mark
ed the opening day of the Valley
County Fair today. The Courier is
publishing a day earlier this week in
order to enable it's force to attend the
Fair and for that reason is unable to
give report of the program, but the
opening day has given full assurance
that this Annual Fair will be num-
bered as probably the most successful
ever held here.
The crowd in attendance at the op-
ening day is larger than ever before,
and the weather conditions are un-
usually favorable. Already number of
visitors have arrived from Plentywood,
Culbertson, Poplar, Wolf Point, Saco,
Malta ond North Country points. Keen
interest is shown by these visitors in
the program provided, and many ex-
pressions of complimentary nature
have been heard from these visitors
for the Fair management for the man.
ner in which additional rooms, other
than hotel rooms, have been provided.
More than 500 such rooms are at dis
posal of the visitors and the crowd
will be well cared for.
Much interest has been created in
the automobile races. Sam Grossman
has entered Ford Especial" which
is said to be a marvel of speed and
mechanical construction. To vie with
him for honors in this event, however,
is Chris Jensen of Poplar, with his
Chevrolet racer. This car won the
race at the Poplar Fair, and is fast
and will give the field good race for
first place honors. Several other cars
have already been entered, and more
are yet to come.
Horse races at these Fairs have 81
ways found large following and
there is no exception this year. The
appearance of race horse men such
as Ridell, Noel Burshia, Hunter and
Ward is sufficient assurance that these
races will be fast and closely contest
ed, and much excitement is looked for
in these events.
The stock car races to be held each
afternoon will provide much enter
tainment and already many entries
have been made.
One of the most extraordinary forms
of entertainment ever offered is that
of Prof. J. Lestrange of Seattle who
is one of the most daring parachute
performers from a balloon in the
world. Among his several thrilling
performances is one of unusual note
in which he accomplishes 3500-foot
drop from the balloon to the earth

RAIN SOAKS FIELDS

A heavy rain which fell over the
entire northeastern portion of Mon
tana the latter part of last week has
placed the fields in excellent condition
for fall blowing. The rain extended
from the foot of the mountains well
into North Dakota. Threshing in this
section has been temporarily held up
but local threshers expect to finish up
within the next ten days with the ex-
ception of some fields of flax.

Overtime Work in Government

thinks that they are streams Of
electrons driven off from the sun
by the waves of light.
Whichever hypothesis is adopt
ed, the result is the same, viz:
The conveyance of an electric in
fluence from the sun to the earth,
which influence, by affecting the
electric state of the atmosphere,
produces wavering, flickering and
shooting lights. Recent studies of
the upper strata of the atmos-
phere, with the aid of sounding
balloons, show that there exists at
great heights a strong ionization
of the air, which facilitates cleo
trio discharges, and which could
be produced by the passage OF
electric currents from the sun.
Several Forms of Aurora.
The aurora presents several
characteristic forms. First there
is the low arch across the northern
sky already described. Then there
are the wonderful undulating
curtains" of light that sometimes
hang under the arch. Next there
are brilliant rays which radiate
from a Crown" or form a lumi-
nous fan. Fourth, straight, or
serpentine, ribbons sometimes
stretch across the sky. Fifth, a
corona surrounding an apparently
black central spot may appear
high in the sky glowing splendidily,
and sixth, there are often de.
tached and shifting patches OF
diffused light, which not infre-
quently change color, sometimes
exhibiting a deep red flush. Spec
troscopic examination shows that
the atmospheric gases, especially
krypton, glow in the aurora.

ETTERS from many readers
in different parts of the

in different parts OF the
country indicate very
widespread and keen interest in a
recent auroral display, which by
occurring early in the evening Sc
cured a very large assistance" of
wondering and delighted specta-
tors. All of the writer's ask for in
formation about the nature and
causes of this spectacular kind of
celestial exhibition, so that it
seems desirable again to touch
upon this subject in these articles,
and to add further particulars.
1t is universally conceded by
scientists that the primary cause
Of these displays lies in the sun,
just as do the primary causes of
all other aerial phenomena, such
as winds, clouds, rains and at
mospheric movements and changes
of every sort. The sun acts upon
the earth by means of its radiation
of energy. Part of this energy ap-
pears in the form of heat, another
part in the form of light.
The effects Of these are familiar
to everybody, because we have been
endowed with bodily senses spe-
cially fitted to perceive them. But
other parts of the suns radiation
of energy are not so directly per-
ceptible by us.
Special Sense Needed.
Among those are rays which
produce electric, or electro mag
netic, effects when they encounter
the earth. If we had a special
electromagnetic sense, as we have
special senses for light and heat,
the appearance of an aurora, or
the occurrence of a magnetic
Storm" would seem no more mys-
terious than the varying light of
day, or the arrival of hot or cold
wave.
Indeed, it is the rarity of auroral
displays in the ATTITUDES where we
live that makes them seem so
strange and so disconnected with
the ordinary operations Of nature.
Nearer the polar circles, where the
human population is relatively
scarce, neople are not more sur
prised or puzzled by auroral lights
than by other meteorological phe-
nomena. Nordenskiold says that
the magnetic poles of the earth are
perpetually surrounded by an "au-
rora-glory," that Of the Northern
Hemisphere centering about a point
situated in latitude 81 degrees
north and longitude so degrees
cast, which places it among the
ISLANDS off the northwestern cor
ner Of Greenland. Commonly the
aurora-glory is seen as an arc Of
pale white light, whose height
