JEFFERSON COUNTY DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE. At a meeting of the citizens of Jefferson county, Montana, held in the court house on the evening of May '29, 1909, the following proceedings were had, to -wit: The meetini was called to order by James Brown. Dr. Leighton was elected president, and J. E. Kelly secretary. The purpose of the meeting was stated to he the consideration of the advisability of Jefferson coun- ty taking steps to be represented in the Montana State Pamphlet, now being prepared for the press, and later to be distributed thruout the United States under the pro- visions of Chapter 70 of the Laws of the Eleventh Regular Session of the State of Montana, held at Helena the past winter, and which chapter provides that the commis- sioner of the bureau of agri- culture. labor and industry shall prepare reports from the data. cuts and .tatiatica on file in his of- fice, or submitted to hini, which reports shall furninh reliable infor- mation upon mgriceltural, com- mercial, mining. manufacturing. labor and other industrial resourc- es of the state; that such reports shall be published thruout the United States; that $5,000 be sp- .,- preprinted for the same; that the county commissioners of the dif- ferent counties, for the purpose of gathering data, cuts and statistics. publishing and distributing the same for the purpose of advertis- ing their counties to prospective honieseekers, settlers and capital- ists may, on petition of at least fifty taxpayers, appropriate, in counties of our class, not to ex- ceed $800. That in pursuance of said act the governor.of this state called a meeting at Helena on April 1909, of all the public men of the state, and at which meeting the chairman of our board of county commissioners was presi- dent, and the Montana Develop- ment League was organized for the purpose of carrying out the pro/ visions of the above act, and of gathering data, cuts and statistics to fully illustrate, explain and ad- vertise the resources of Montana, and at the same time the newly organized league by resolution de- cided that, on account of the in- sufficient appropriation to proper - r7 carry on this work, it would 134 impossible for representatives of the league to visit each county to gather the information necessary to properly write up and illustrate the many advantages and resources of the same, and that each county. in order to be represented in this book, should adopt means and gather this information, write up itself, and furnieh cuts. etc., to the state league for use by them in the. Montana State Pamphlet. Hence it was stated, the purpose of this meeting is to decide Whether or not Jefferson county wants to get in on this advertising scheme and, if so, what means shall we adopt to gather this in- forniation. After a thorough discussion ft was unanimously decided that Jef- ferson county should be represent- ed, and nothing should be left un- done which might advertise the county to prospective homeseekers, capitalists and settlers. After discussing the form of or- ganization that might better carry on ithis work, it was decided on motion that an executive commit - tip should be appointed, consisting of five members, and of which the chairman of the meeting should be chairman of the committee, and which committee would have pow- er to organize itself, appoint corn- mIttees to assist it,. contract debts, gather all the information possible and to arrange the same, together with cuts and illustrations, and submit the genie to the Montana Development League for publica- tion. The president appointed Lees Taylor, E. R. Sumner, W. B. Hundley and J. E. Kelly to serve on the committee. On motion, the meeting adjourn- ed. I. A. J. E. LEIGHTON, Pres't. KELLY.

GOVERNORS WILL ATTEND Dry Farming Congress at Billings in October. Billings, June 7.—Gov. Edwin L. Norris, of Montana, president of the Dry Farming Congress, has received assurrances from a large number of the governors of the western states that they will co-op- erate with him in making a success of the fourth Dry Farming Con- gress, which will be held at Bill- ings, Mont.. October 26-28, 1909, and the second International Exhi- bition of Dry Farm Products at the flame place, October 25-29. Already ten governors have ac- cepted the Montana exetutive's in- vitation to attend the congress, if possible for them to do so, if not, to send personal representatives. Anieng the governors who have shown interest in the work of the Dry Farming Congress and ex- pressed their endorsement of It in letters to Governor Norris are the following: Gov. F. W. Benson, Oregon: -- \I desire to give my most hearty indorsement to the congress and wish to be called upon if I can do anything to proniote its success. We have such a large acreage in this western country that never can be utilized under any system of ir- rigation that it is important that de- velopment be made along the lines of dry farming. The last session of the legislature in this state made an appropriation for a dry farming experiment station in east- ern Oregon, DB I% ell as ofr an irri- gating experiment station. The United States government and the state of Oregon, acting thru its agricultural college, are co-operat- ing for the success of both these enterprises. I shall do everything I can to work up an interest here in our state and shall be glad to appoint a large delegation of rep- pesentative citizens to attend the congress at Billings.\ Gov.Shafroth,Coloracio:--\I ar- predate the importance of the Dry Farming Congress and hope the next session thereof will be a great success. I attended the last session, which was held at Cheyenne in February, and I be- lieve the deliberations of that body have been and will be of great mo- ment to the people of the arid west.\ Gov. Brooks, Wyorning:—\I believe the work of our Dry Farm- ing Congress hes had a far-reach- ing influence in developing western lands, and that the future is bright with promise in possibilities of de- velopment along this line. We will take pleasure in advertising the Montana meeting widely thru- out this state, and I believe you can rely upon having a strong del- egation from Wyoming at your convention. I will take pleasure in discussing dry farming condi- tioris in Wyoming and believe that Dr. Cooke. Prof. Buffum and oth- ers from this state can add interest to the occasion by suitable ad- dresses.\ Gov. tiny, Washington:—\I have resided in. the dry farming sections of Washington for twenty years and have some idea of what dry farming is. You may rest as- sured I shill do what I can to make our congress a success. whether I am able to be with you or not, as I feel that you itsinitiated in a worthy causa.\.. Gov. Spry. Utab: \I am in hearty sympathy with the work of the Dry Farming Congress and shall be most pleased to co-operate with you in any way possible to make the coming congress a suc- cess. I therefore ask that you feel free to command my ser- vices alone any line that will work this end.\ Gov. Vessey. South Dakota.— \I agree with you that scientific agriculture and the con- servation of moisture means ft great deal to the eptire northwest, especially to the western part of our state_ Anything I can do to help this movement along will be cheerfully done.\ Gov. Brady, Hallo: — \Idaho and her citizens are eery much inter- ested in the subject of dry farm- ing. In the extreme northern and souther portions of our state there are large bodies of 'land suscepti- ble of farming without irrigation, and it is a subject of no small im- portance to us. I assure you that I shall do all in my power to see that a representative delegation of Idaho citizens takes part in the de- liberationeof the congress and, if at all possible. 1 shall be present in person. I feel that the manage- ment of the congress is in good hands and that. everything will be done which should be done to make the congress a stay.\ Gov. Johnson, Minnesota: -, \The organization of which you are president is engaged in essen- tially a practical work.\ Gov. Shallenberger, Nebraska: —\I trust that I may be able to attend in person the Dry Farming Congress at Billings and, if not, 1 hope to be able to send some fit- ting representative of our state. We certainly are mulch interested in the movement.\ Gov. Burke, North Dakota: \Unless some state matters pre- vent my attendance. I shall be very pleased to accept your kind invi- tation.\ The end men at the min- strel show have a bunch of gags that will make you cackle, if you are not the one hit. SEWING MACHINE.

NUMBkR 17 Increased Train Service Effective May 28, 1909. the Northern Pacific Rail- way augmented its passenger train .service by the establishment of new trains, not alone' between eastern and western terminals, but locally on main lines and branches in the -several states which it serve.. It hits thus placed in closer touch than ever the different sections, the variotia cities and towns, the thriving communities, which for twenty-six years the Northern' Pacific has aided and fostered in growth and progress. 1 1 This increased efficiency of service means much to the territory tributary to the Northern Pacific Railway. 11 1 Additional lines projected or actually under con- struction will still further increase the scope of Northern Pacific co-operation in the development of the Northwest in the course of the next year or two.
