Sixty-fiye exhibits which were among
the prize winners at the Cascade Com
munity fair which closed at Cascade
Tuesday night have been entered at
the Montana State fair, which opens in
Helena next Tuesday. 1t is expected
state wide competition. Ears of
Northwestern Dent and Pioneer White
corn grown on John Warheim's farm
in Chestnut will win district first prize,
in the opinion of County Agent f. e.
MacSpadden.
The community fair held at Cascade
this year is the second to be held in
that town and the first to be held there
in 10 years. 1t was attended by more
than 600 on the second day. The num-
Der and variety of vegetable, fruit and
grain exhibits made it the best agri-
cultural exhibition ever held there and
the quality of all the exhibits qualified
it as one of the best fairs ever held
in this section of the state.
Cascade Old Community
Cascade is an older community than
Great Falls, some of the first settlers
locating there more than 40 years ago.
At one time there was a small trading
village across the Missouri river from
the present townsite, known as st.
Claire. Livestock was the principal in
dustry of the pioneers. Large cattle
and sheep ranches were developed, and
until the spring of 1920 Cascade had
the record of being n of the biggest
shipping points for livestock in the
northwest. This winter of 1920 put
a crimp in the bankrolls of all the
stockmen in that locality. Many be
ieve that the stockmen's losses had a
more disastrous effect IN the commu-
nifty than did the losses sustained By
dry land farmers.
Hardy Jones, who came to Chestnut
valley nearly a half century ago, was
one of the pioneers who believed that
vegetables could be raised there
Though he engaged extensively in cat
tie raising, he put considerable effort
into the cultivation of his land and he
proved to his own and his neighbors
satisfaction years ago that that part
! of Cascade county is as rich agricultu-
raj land as any part of the northwest
Town of About 600
II has been during the last 10 years
that Cascade has grown as a village
and its surrounding territory developed
as a farming country. The town has q
population of about 500 Two banks

Fire Prevention
Week Designated
by Governor Dixon

Helena, Sept. 19.-(By The Associat-
ed Press.)--The period from October
? to 0 vas proclaimed fire prevention
week in Montana by Governor Joseph
NJ. Dixon Tuesday with recommended
ton that cities, cooperating with cham
bers Of commerce and other civic or
CARNATIONS, arrange exercises that will
impress the Importance of fire pre-
vention on the public mind.
The proclamation cites that during
the five years ended with 1920, the
fire loss in Montana t0talled S10.6S5,-
900, a sum that would build 2,137 five
thousand dollar homes or more than
1000 miles of modern highways, and
that the annual loss is nearly half a
billion dollars yearly.

HACER OPENS
WATER SAND
IN COLORADO
Drill in Vimy Ridge Test Down
1850 Feet; No Casing
Yet.

The water sand in the bottom OF
the Colorado was opened up TUESDAY
by the well of the Hager-Stevenson
testing the Vimy Ridge structure near
Fort Benton, according to a report
received by L. G. Stevenson or the
company. o.o
The sand was reached at about 1,39o
feet, according to the report from the
well. the formations having thlckened
somewhat more than had been anti.
cipated. The first sand of the kootenai
would come within the next 100 feet
or more. according to the log of the
Transcontinental well on the Fort
Benton structure. The t~hickening OF
the formations in the Colorado, how
ever, has shown that this cannot be
entirely depended upon. - >,
The drilling of the Vimy Ridge well
has been remarkable in that it has
carried a Is inch hole for 1850 feet
without casing, except for a matter of
40 feet when going through surface
drift. The hole will now be cased down
TO the sand, running 10 inch casing
and saving the 1914 inch pipe.

are many dry land yields whichc run as
high as 30 bushels and one irrigated
field has been reported as high as %
bushels.
But Cascades prosperity, as evil
denced by the fair, is not dependent
upon the wheat harvest. Diversified
farming has been developed in that
section of the county to a higher de-
gree than in any part of Cascade coun-
ty. The Cascade creamery wins more
state and national prizes for butter
making than any other creamery in
Montana and it pays out about $1,000
a month to the farmers there. Nearly
every farmer has his family COW and
a majority of them have from three
to ten, from which they sell cream to
| the creamery.
Mill Pays $500 Weekly
The flour mill in Cascade is an asset
TO the community in more than one
way. It's weekly payroll is around
500 and in addition, it pays to farm
ers a premium of from l to 2 cents
| over the quoted price and premiums
at other points in Montana.
Two of the four stockmen of Mon
tana who are reputed not to owe a

both of whom live in Helena. They
are sheep ranchers. Other large sheep
ranchers in that section are J. 3. Tay-

Among the big cattle ranches are
those of Hardy Jones, Merrill Gordon,

anguish and despair are thrusting their
babies into the sea.
The combination of war, massacre,
fire, drowning and famine diseases

to reign Of fury, fire and famine, which

MAY SETTLE PROBLEM
London, Sept. 19.-Fof-the time be-
ing. the scene shifts to Paris, where
Lord Curzon, the British secretary for
foreign affairs, viii seek to attain
harmony of views between his own and
the French government The minis
terial conferences in London have
ended for the moment, and Premier
Lloyd George has gone to the country
for a few days rest.
That the general situation is re-
garded as easier is shown by the fact
that Mustapha Renal pasha, leader of
the Turkish n~ationalists, is apparently
making no new move, although, ac-
cording to an Athens report which
has reached London, he left Smyrna
for Nicodemia, adjoining Ismid, south
of Constantinople, while 1t is said that
Admiral a Beatty may lind 1t I'M
necessary to proceed to Paris.
On the other hand, perhaps the
most important news of the day com es
in The Associated Press dispatches
from Constantinople, stating that
Renal Pasha has sought permission of
the allies to occupy part of the
Thrace Immediately, and discuss the
question of the status of the Oar
danelles later, in connection with the
general peace problem and with par
ticipation Of all the Black sea eoun-
tries.
This touches the cruz Of the whole
question. There may possibly be an
agreement between Great Britain,
France and Italy on the question Of
neutrality Of the straits and a further
agreement that Constantinople eyentu-
ally be returned to the Turks under
certain conditions. But on the question
of the future of Thrace, outside the
neutral zone, such ar agreement is
lacking.

RETAIL COAL MEN
 ADVOCATE EQUAL
 SUPPLY OF GOAL
BODY RECOMMENDS THAT MINE OPERATORS SHOULD PRODUCE
 COAL EVENLY THRU Y EAR

{ WASHINGTON, D. C., December 22 Cooperation on the part of retail CTS and consumers of coal to allow the mine operators to produce evenly throughout the year. was recommend ed to the federal coal commission to- day by retail coal merchants in the in+ terests of stabilization of the industry and equitable distributor and costs. The recommendation was made thru special committee directors of the National Retail Coal Merchants asso- citation, called by the commission to lay before it their views on the situa- tion in retail distribution.
 Seasonal reductions in mine and re tail prices as well as in freight rates for the purpose of equalizing produc- tion, were advocated by the commit tee. Cooperation on the part of the buying public would also be necessary the delegation said, it being suggested that the consumer lay in stocks of coal in summer months more general ly to allow mines to work throughout the year.
 Recognition was given by the retail CTS to the fact that cessation of buying by retailers and consumers seriously affects the ability of operators to main tain production, both in the anthracite and bituminous fields. Retail dealers could aid in this situation, they said by installing better facilities for stor- ing coal supplies. Storage facilities are inadequate to care for any contin- ued production flowing from the mine.
 Stress was laid by the retailers up- on the inadequate and interference with transportation facilities. They de clared that lack of coal cars to trans port coal and blockading at several points, was impeding distribution.

LURED
 BY LABRADOR GOLD

NORTH SYDNEY, December 22- North Sydney prospectors, lured by tales of river silt in the streams of Labrador are preparing for gold rush into the barren north as soon as the spring opens. The area in which the alleged discovery of gold has been made falls under the Jurisdiction of the Newfoundland government, and already over seven hundred claims have been filed with the mines depart ment at St. Johns, N. F.
 Stag Bay in Stag Harbor is the ob- jective of the gold seekers, remote district far north of Battle Harbor. Labrador, and three days steaming from this port. The passage is peri lous to ships, Stag Bay itself being so shallow that vessels are compelled to anchor ten miles offsho1e. Passengers and freight are landed in small boats. Few but wandering Eskimos ever visit the place.
 According to prospectors the discov- cry was made in several rivers empty ing into Stag Bay. Among these are the Pummalik river, Big Brook and Black Duck creek, all wide. shallow streams with gravelly bottoms. Big Brook has been staked for distance of 2 miles.
 The first discovery was made a year ago by party that had gone into the north in quest of timber claims. The members of the expedition on their return to civilization quietly re- corded their claims at St. Johns. But the news of the gold spread, and soon afterwards two other parties went to Stag Bay and staked claims. Under the mining laws of Newfoundland each claim may include 320 acres. During the past few weeks the gold strike has become generally known, and now hundreds of adventurers are awaiting the spring months to journey north.

tended to deprive Ireland of her in dependence and make her a part of the British Empire. They signed the treaty but cannot deliver the goods. There are more men fighting on the hill sides of Ireland today for I-ish freedom, than Washington and Lafay- cite had under their commands at any one time during the war. Ireland is certainly happy under the Free State Home rule.
 Now you spoke about England talk ing down her flag and the t-i-color of Ireland being raised in it's stead. How about the six counties in the north of Ireland that England cut off from Ire land and her flag still flies over Ire land?
 The worst of it is that forty-five per cent of the young men of these coun- tries are fighting in the Republican army today.You mentioned about Eng lands taking down her flag. Her flag may be down, but England appoints the attorney general, and there can be no bill introduced in the Irish par lament without his consent. There cannot be a cent appropriated without his consent Every Icishman must take oath of allegiance to the English king and his successors for all-time. England holds all the important har- bors in Ireland, and the nation cannot have an army only at England's con sent. Every Irishman must take the oath or else defend the republic. It hurts as bad as to be murdered under the tri-colors of Ireland as it does un- der the cross of St. George.
 In vour issue of December you said that Ireland was happy unoer Home Rule. Home Rule means that nation runs it's own affairs, both fore ign and domestic, without any outside interference, It is the same fight that George Washington fought. It is the same enemy that George Washington fought, The American press, as whole should glory in helping and de- lending any people fighting for their ! freedom.
 What did our government do in re- gard to Cuba? The Philippines? To the Hungarians? All these nations were fighting for self-determination.
 Ireland has more of claim on Am erican friendship than any nauon or neople on earth. There never was a war fought by America on any Held for any cause, where an American sol dier lay wounded or dying, but an Irishman lay on the same field. :"
 I hear you say: What does Ireland want?" Has not England given her her freedom. She has not. All the heads Of the Republican government asks is to allow a free and fair election in Ireland and let every citizen vote, male or femals, who is over q years of age. He asks America to see that she has that right and that the decis- ion is lived up to.

THE IRISH QUESTION
(Communicated)

Editor Gateway: In the Gateway of December 6, 1922, there was an arti- cle with display heading as follows: Ireland Happy Under Home Rule. Now, do not hold you responsible for anything in regard to your foreign news, but you commented on it and said some things, that in my opinion, need correction. As a constant reader and admirer of your paper let me ask you to publish the following: 1 The headlines in your paper are an insult to every Irishman that loves his native land.
 Now. M1. Editor, I want to ask you few questions in regard to that home rule you state that Irishmen are so happy under. On November ', in the city of London, there were four Irishmen shot, and for what reason For having a revolver. in their pos session. Now, it is an admitted fact that England and Ireland are at war; that is, the Irish people proper. Why did these men have arms in their pos session? It was for the purpose of de- lending the Irish Republic from its enemies. A republic established in 1916 to 1922 and maintained for four long years. During this time they witnstood the whole might of England and the Republican government took vote of the Irish people on the lues- tion of what government they wanted and sustained the republic by ma jority of S5 per cent.
 Now, what did America go into the war for? What did our boys go over- seas for? Ask Woodrow Wilson. Ask any liberty-loving American. Was it to help England grind the Irish people into the earth, which they have been doing ever since the world war? Ev- cry American will tell you it was for the purpose of self-determination cf small nations and to make the world safe for democracy.
 How safe is democracy in Ireland? :? How happy are the people under nome rule? Let us see:
 Mary MacSwinney escaped death by a hair. She was arrested and thrown in jail and confined with prostitutes and criminals because she protested with the only weapon she had. They held her in jail without trial or hear ing of any kind because she was a member of the republican government and was proud of it. The tools of En- gland are arresting women and chill dren; taking them out of their beds in the night, because they will not tell where their brothers and sons are, and what they are doing. The very men that comprise the Free State government are the men that took an oath to support the republican gov ernment with their lives if necessary. They signed the treaty that was in-

Primaries and Elections Are
More Important to Legisla-
tors Than Law Making.
scANT QUORUM is PRESENT
House May Be Compelled to
Take Another Recess Be-
cause of Absentees.

By United Nsies
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-With the
greatest industrial crisis in the Ma
tons history awaiting action, Con-
gress is running on very low gear.
Remaining primaries and fast APP
preaching general elections have
brought a situation both in the House
and Senate whereby consideration Of
the Nations legislative business is al.
most a farce.
Though the House reconvened
week ago, there was not even
quorum present until Monday, and
Mondays and Tuesdays roll-Cals re-
vealed a scant suficiency to transact
business. The Senate recessed Satur-
day until Wednesday because it would
have been impossible to muster a
quorum in the upper branch, and it is
doubtful if there viii be much more
than a quorum present when trans
action Of business is resumed Wednes-
day. A further recess may be held
advisable.
The reason IS that members of both
branches and both parties have
enough tight" primary or election
contests on their hands to make it ad-
visable for them to remain at home
campaigning. Because Of this fact
any member who ventures 10 suggest
absence of a quorum, is leaped upon
By leaders of both sides, and. with
out a quorum, of course, no business
can be transacted.
