Ten Days Seeing the Big Show, and Will Assist in the Dedi

TRAVEL
With college yells thlrty-ono of the
' 'most popular girls of Montana arrived at
tho World's Fair last plght.
Immediately something was "doing" at
the Inside Inn on the Fair grounds.
Tho Montana girts, who were pro--nounced
tho most popular in their re
spective countiesas the result of a voting
contest conducted ly the Butte (Mont)
.Inter Mountain, were the objects toward
which, all.eyes were turned, and were the
cause cf tremendous excitement among
tho guests, many of whom, never saw a
Montana girl before.
The thirty-one elect delighted In the
flurry they caused, and added to" the ex--cltement
by elrglng songs and giving
"ells similar to those that aro the de
light of a college man's -.heart.. One sUr
rlng song runs as follows:
I'We don't quarrel: we don't fight.
We're from Montana, and we're all right."
Another goes:
"Boom, get a rat trap; boom, get a cat
trap.
Boom, got a rat trap bigger than a cat
trap. i
Hobble-gobble, razzle-dazzle, flz boom, ah.
-Inter Mountain, Inter Mountain; rah, rah,
rah."
The favorite song of the girls Is a par
ody on the "Burgomaster."
"We're girls from fair Montana,
And a Jolly crowd are we.
We've arrived in old St. Louis
Your great big show to Bee.
From all you jolly comrades.
No matter where your home.
Come Join us in one grand old time
As O'er jour land we roam."

Journey of 2,700 miles at 1:30 p. m. last
Thursday, and made an average speed on
their special train of more than fifty
miles an hour. Their longest stop at any
one place was fifty minutes. They will
spend ten or twelve days at the Fair, and
will assist In the dedication of the Mon
tana building on Montana Day.
Last j ear, early in the summer, Tho
Butte Inter-Mountain announced that it
would send thirty-one of the most popu
lar girls in the State to the World's Fair.
The contest was based on ballots printed
in the paper and on graduated subscrip
tion ballots.
In no section of the United States jpx
cept in the Northwestern Rockies could
the conten have been so spirited or so
picturesque.
Miss Kathryn Kennedy of Chouteau, To
ton County, lived. so far from a railroad
that her mall was regularly three daj's
late with votes and returns, and so "back
woodsy" Is her little city, that she was
unable to have her photograph taken, to
be printed with the rest of the winners.
Miss Kennedy, who Is a school teacher,
procured a substitute when the contest
opened, mounted her broncho, for, like
most Teton County drls, she has a bron
cho; and can ride one. and scoured the
county. When it is said that Teton Coun
ty is greater in area than Connecticut,
Delaware and Rhode Island combined, it
will be seen that Miss Kennedy "rode
some." She polled 4,434 votes in the ninety
days, and won out In a walk. She figures
that she rode,' on an average, a mile for
every ballot
Miss Kattiryn Swanstrum of Blaine Is
also a "cow county" girl. Her father is
a prosperous rancher. Blaine is a small
town in Madison County, and there were
contestants In "Virginia City, the county
seat. Colonel Swanstrum announced that
siUs daughter w ould win if he ruined every
horse on the ranch. His pretty daughter
stayed 'in the saddle six days.ln.the week
through the ninety days, and won handily.
An accident, however, robbed liss Lizzie
Morrow of Rochester. MadlsOn Countyr of
Miss Swanstrum's place. Miss Morrow
worked "underground,"' Miss Swanstrum
"on top." In other words, the latter so
licited votes In the cities, towns and on
tho ranches, the former in the mines. The
contest was to close January 25 iat 7
o'clock In the evening. The results had
been printed from day to day. The con
testants naturally held back bunches of
votes, and on the closing day more than
1.090.000 were cast. Miss Swanstrum ar
rived Jn Butte In good time and .deposited
her votes in the Inter-Mountain office, but
Miss Morrow's train was late. She rushed
in the office, with enough votes to win. ten
minutes after 'the ..contest closett -Then,
finding she bad Iostl she promptly .fainted.

No Longer Cringe Before the
Whites Nor Submit to Blows
Prom Plantation Overseers
Win All Demands.
Special Correspondence ot The St. Louts Re
public Honolulu, T. H., May 3L The spirit of
Independence la possessing tho Japanese
of these islands since the recent successes
of the Japanese arms In the conflict with
Russia have become known.
Several weeks ago there was a big strike
on a Honolulu plantation because one of
tho head Overseers struck a Japanese field
hand. Tho Japanese Informed his fellow
workers of tho occurrenco and they held
an Indignation meeting and went on strike.
Police, from Honolulu had to be rushed
to the scene of tho trouble, as the Jap
anese were making threatening demon
strations. They even went so far as to obstruct the
passage of the United States malls to the
train. They demanded that tho overseer
bo discharged. The manager of xthe planta
tion refused for several days to concede
tho. point to the men, and said that he
would retain the overseer.
JAPS ARE OBDURATE.
The Japanese were obdurate, however,
and the result-was that the' management
had to concede their demand. The, cane
-was rotting, the mill shut down and work
completely at a standstill, rne instant Tne
offendlne overseer was discharged the
Japanese returned to work.
A simitar uirair occurred on ,wa planta
tion, whlih Is about htteen miles from
Honolulu, last Saturday. One of the over
seers struck a Japanese. - The aggrieved
man told hU compinlons and the crowd
to the number of 2.V0O went, on strike. Tho
Japanese Consul General from Honolulu
w eni 10 tne plantation ana encciea. a con
ference, by -which the conflicting parties
came together. The overseer was dis
charged and then the strikers returned to
work.
This spirit of Independence on the part
of the Japanese Is evidently due to tho
sentiments inspired In them by the success
of their arms In the Orient. Where the
Japanese formerly shrank from the anger
of the white man and Instinctively admit
ted him to be a dominant race, the little
brown man no longer cringes.
