ATTEND THE JUDITH BASIN FARMERS' PICNIC JULY, 18 MANY VISITORS CAME HERE FOR CELEBRATION And All Went Home After a Day Well Filled With Pleas- urable Entertainment, Voting Moore's One Of the Best Little Celebrations in the Judith Basin - Big Crowds attended the monster caw oration 'in lioore on the nations 'inruicary.

Fergus avenue was elanorately .dec- orated with Bags, bunting. and ever- greens and presented a, most attrac- tive appearance. Adross the street between the lite hotel and the First National 'Bank was stretched Si large banner upon which was printed the word, \Welcome\, and across the avenue at the next block was sus - pended an enormous silk flag. Mayor Mathews presided over the exercises at the Bowery .pavillion, in the morning, when Judge Roy E. Ayers, delivered a splendid patrio- tic oration, Hier talk was not of the flowery caliber that is so fre- quently manifest, on similar occasion but was a plain out-and-out address that appealed to every one that had - the 'pleasure of 'listening to it. 'The ball game between Moore and Stanford which immediately follow- ed the exercises, proved fast and interesting and was won by Moore, as was also the afternoon game. The first which, resulted in a 4-5 scene was to have been only a 7 - inning 'contest, but owing to the tie the game went nine innings before the Maroons finally nosed out the winning run. The batteries were Stanford, Hamden and Grady; Moore -Argesinger and Dehnert. The af- ternoon game was better attend- ed and reverted to Moore by a 9-6 score. 'Batteries: 'Stanford, Miller and Grady; Moore, Clary and Dehn- ert. Benden having the - distinction of • 'mg both games the Maroons 'pulled down the purees consisting of $50. each.

The Moore concert band discoursed sweet melodies and patriotic tunes at intervals during the entire day. A miee display of ffireworka at the ball park, and a dance at the Bowery pavillion in the evening concluded the biggest day in the history of \ the town. Altogether, Moore \done hensell proud\. It gave our local merchants and leading citizens, members of the Commercial club, a chance to show what they could do in, the way of 'planning an interesting day for their own folks and their guests. It gave the busy farmers ,a day , off from their etrenuota toll to don their \glad rags\ and hike to town for a day of forgetfulness. It gave those of our neighboring towns opportun- ity to see Moore at its beat with flags and bunting flying and a spirit of gaiety and activity filling the at- mosphere to the bursting limit, It gave the Ladies Aid society °CCM- ton to serve the public with tasty food 'Kir the inner man and woman, in Gall* Hall, where many resorted for physical refreshment. It was th harvest season for the ice cream 'Done merchant who did a thriving business 'passing out the national dish to the , youngsters -and the eld- ers, too, for that matter. The \one - baby -one -cigar\ chap vas there too with his spiel, as was the \the cane- yotering\ gentleman, allaying hot sports to their doom trying to rope a modern descendent of tile bamboo tree at So much per. Last, but not 'least, was the ever-present clown, who was in evidence in all parts of the town trying to make the multi- tudes laugh. Although, this celebration was not arranged without a vast amount of 'work on the part of the committees, they are not kicking, and they should he commended for their untiring ef- forts in arranging such an elabor- ate celebration of the nation's birth- day. STATE FAIR ADOPTS MONTANA SONG The Montana State Fair has adopt- ed an, official state fair song en- titled, \My Treasure Sttate\ and has arranged for the free distribu- tion of the same throughout the aa state. The authors, Dr. S. E. Schwartz, and Ches. C. Cohan, of Butte, have donated 2,000 copies, to the state fair, and it is through their generosity that the song will be sent to every Montana home that poses a piano. Last year when the song was com- posed, it was played at the state fair by the cowboy band, and was sung by Bill Pruitt the cowboy Caruso. it was also played and sung at She Armory in Minneapolis, at the North- west land and Products exposition, and when, the Minneapolis vaudeville theatres heard the wonderful cowboy singer they intsidted on having Mr. Pruitt sing the Bong at the theatre. At Chicago the ;meows of the song was repeated at the American Land and Irrigation exposition, where nir. Pruitt and the co* boy band were the hit of the show. The lyrics are by Chas. C. Cohan, and the music by Dr. Schwartz, the chorus being: \My Treasure State, My Treasure State. Let every voice your fame relate; Tell of your many vianries won, And of new triumphs just begun. My Treasure State, glory to you, Upheld by eons and daughters true, Forever be your honor great/ My Treasure State, My Treasure State.\ Cities and Towns Unable To Regulate Speed of Motorists Cities and towns have no Power to regulate. motor vehicles, accord- ing to advices from Attorney General Kelly. The Largay automobile law, chap ter 73 of the law of the Thirteenth assembly, takes away from cities this power / and repeals all provisional of the Abbott law, chapter 72, relating to the speed of motor vehicles, be- cause chapter 73 was signed after chapter 72. \No person shall operate a motor vehicle on the public roads or high- ways of this Eltate at a rate of speed greater than is reasonable or proper having regard to width, traffic and the use of the highway and the gen- eral and useful' rules of the road or so as to endanger, the, property of life or limb of any person,\ pro- vides the Largey law, and of 'Mead it says nothing more, Mr. Kelly Wier \Upon the ground that chapter 73 of the session laws of the Thirteenth legislative assembly is a complete and special act of the legislature up- on the topic of motor vehicles, and 'that it shows by its terms that it' Was intended to be the subject that intent is shown by the taking away from the cities end towns all power tb regulate such motors, and for the reason that the said act imposes a different penalty for the same at tense, you are advised that your in- terpretation of the provisions of the two laws; in regard to the speed of motor vehicles, is correct, and that the provisions of chapter 73 of the session laws of the Thirteenth Leg- islative assembly must be held to re- peal the provisions of chapter 72 of of the same laws, relating to thg speed of motor vehicles.\ THE IMPORTANCE OF THE LITTLE BANANA The latest storm that luta broken over the heads of the framers of the new tariff bill has been caused by the action of the majority members , of the Senate Finance Committee in levying a tax of five cents on ever' bunch of bananas imported into the country. To the senatorial mind the banana seemed a harmless and unresisting subject of possible taxa- tion. Learning that over 40,000,000 bunches of the yellow -skinned fruit are brought into the country every year, they figured up a simple pro- cess of multiplication that a duty of five cents a bunch would add $2,- 000,000 a year to the federal revenue.* and thus make up to some Slight ex- tent for the loss of transferring of many articles to the free list. Since the plan was made public democratic leaders have been hearing from the country and have learned a lot about bananas that they never knew, be- fore. Through the Banana Buyers' as- soclultion in New York and through members of their party in many 'portions of the country, they have been told that the banana Is not a luxury but a food product, that It Is the only fruit cheap enough to find a. place in a workingman's din - ter pail and that to increase its price by taxation would contravene the chief object at the tariff, the lowering of the cost of living. More- over it appears that by failing to make a distinction between different sized bunches of ! the fruit the com- mittee unwittingly/ layed into the hands of the bana& trust which con- trols the supply of the larger bunches and would bar the independent porters who handle the smaller ones. As a final demonstration of the ban- na's importance in modern com- merce, a diplomatic protest has been made to the department of wade by the British government, acting on behalf of its colony of Jamaica. In polite langunge Uncle Sam has been told ‘hat John Bull would regard his proposed banana tax as an un- friendly act because it would force out of the American market the Jet- maica.n, bananas which wane in wanes bunches than those grown in Central American countries. As a result of the protests that have come from all directions, it id/likely that the banana duty will be dropped otst of the hill as the easiest solution of the trouble. Hereafter it is safe to say the members of the finance committee will treat the banana with great respect whenever they enao ter it FERGUS COUNTY SAPPHIRES LEAD Gems and precious stones were 'produced in the United States in 1.912 to the valae of $319,722 among:I- an to Douglas B. Sterrett, of the United States Geological ,Survey. The kinds of precious atones found in the United States are many ranging frqm ,diamonds of tine quality to low grade stones stroll -as agates, but ells is seen from the total value cif' the output there are no realty large Operations. The 'principal gem minerasi mined the United Statee during 1912 was Montana sapphire, at which \there sires a large output tor use both as gems and in mechanical ap- Pilianqes. The greater part of the gem sapphires came from the Mines in Fergus 'county, where they oc- cur in a rock matrix. The majority of these stan,eer have the true Sap- phire -blue color. Mb* bulk of the sapphire for mechanical use, came from the placer deposits in Granite ond Deer Lodge counties, and con- sists of varicolored atones.

CONGRESSMEN LEARNS TRICKS OF THE TRADE. It Is doubtful whether there have been any material results on th e i n - vestigation of the lobbies and lobby- ists, that will have any Parnntear 'bearing epee, legislation, but the eongre.semen are being enleghtened a s to the methods of Rome of the smooth gentlemen who ply their trade of influencing legislators among them. David Lamar, a New yort stock broker has quietly told or how he impensonated different con' greeemen and senators, calling ue dif - ferent statesmen on the telephone , and asking all sorts of support, after introducing himself as Congresissuso Palmer, Riordan, or anyone else to Suit bio.porpose, Colonel Moine& a familiar Washington character. it Wears has had a perfect \tab\ on all members, knowing their we points, and using his information to force legislation. The \insidious lobby\ that relates to sugar and wool, has dropped Into the rear so far as exciting popular interest, since it has been demonstrated that men dike LaMar and Mullein have so long successfully \warted both ends against the middle\ bring every Pow sibe scheme to beit to outwit and gain the support of senators and representatives, and the latter are \flabbergasted\ to know how eas - ily they have been in falling tot the tricks of the lobbnist trade.\ MOORE LOSES ONE TO HABLOWTON The Moore Maroons went down to Harlowtoa 'Sunday and were badly defeated, being shut out 8 to 0. The boys stated that the corudition of the 'grounds accounted for this defeat. The diamond which had received a good soaking by the recent rains, had beennueed the day of the linacrth' for bucking contests and deep holies had bean made In the ground by the 'horses' feet. When an infield ball was hit it seemed that the cantankerous sphere would .continual ly bounce over the itaiielderni head 'lust as it was WA' to be ealla fielded and whiclI7V;bad have been the case under bid*Wr i y circumstan- ces. The Hari* linys were evidently accustomed to playing an rough (Ba- tmen& and together with their luck bed en easy time of winning. The Maroons gist fully as many hits, as their opponents, but -well, the story has been told, Harlowtcs comes to 'Moore next Sunday and the local toy, are confident of hanging ono 'over on them.
