M.
Mrs. W. C. Ahern of Florence is a
lover of pets and during the last sea
son made an attempt to raise geese,
turkeys, peacocks and chickens from
the setting of a hen, and as a result
of this experiment brought off one
goose, a turkey, four peacocks and
three chickens. This is quite a mix
ture of fowl to raise in one setting
but this was done on the Ahern ranch
at Florence. In the experiment Mrs.
Ahern discovered there was some dif
ficulty, as the goose was so much
stronger and heavier than its broth
ers or half brothers that there was
great danger of its crippling and kill
ing them. In fact, on several occa
sions it injured the chickens and pea
cocks. Mrs. Ahern's troubles were
not over when the hen left her brood,
for at this stage the peacocks were
attacked by dogs and killed, and her
trouble and cares for that bird were
a PP ar eotly without reward.
THE ATHLETICS

Hamilton baseball fans eagerly
awaited the bulletin announcing the
result of the first game of the cham
pionship series between the Chicago
Nationals and the Philadelphia Amer
icans, played in Philadelphia yester

Athletics had put it over the Cubs, 4
to 0, there were many "I told you so's"
and some grief manifested.

THE
PRIZE WINNERS AT THE
T
Fair Commission Gives Out List of
Awards—The Fair Was a Success
Financially, As Well.
Contrary to expectations the Great
Ravalli County fair proved a success
finacially as well as in so many other
respects. The commission expects to
have a nice little surplus with which
to form a nucleus for next year's
event. In addition to $1 000 appro
priated by the county there were the
paid admissions during the three days
totaled nearly 5,400. The special
prizes and contributions also.
In some instances no prizes had
been offered for exhibits that were
displayed. In such cases, when the ex
hibits were considered worthy, ribbons
were given and awards will be made in
the discretionary class.
In this connection it is no violation
of confidence to state that many good
friends have informed The Western
News that they could have easily out
classed certain exhibits and that they
will be on deck next year. Next
year s fair should prove a hummer.
Following is a list of premium
awards given exactly as compiled by
the fair commission. When the pre
miums have not been called for the
ticket number is given and a supple
mental list of prize winners will be
announced when the premiums have
been called for. The prize winners:

MONTANA'S NEXT CONGRESSMAN
AND R. R. COMMISSIONER WIN
FRIENDS IN BITTER ROOT.
diaries S. Hartman, democratic
nominee for congress, and Petdr San
ger, democratic nominee for rhilroad
commissioner stormed the Bitter Root
\ alley last Friday. Accompanied by
I State Committeeman C. M. ilaword
land several of the local democratic
j nominees, Messrs. Hartman and San
I £ er sw ept through the valley, holding
! fo »r meetings during the day.
Everywhere they were greeted with
enthusiasm, insurgent republicans vy
| ing with progressive democrats in
welcoming Mr. Hartman, who has been
I insui ging against the big interests
since 1896,
! The daylight meetings were re
markably well attended and the
night meeting in Hamilton was a
hummer. At Stevensville Mr. Hartman
was introduced by Commodore
Faulds and where he spoke to an ap
preciative audience. A good meeting
was held at Victor at 2 p. m. and at
Corvallis at 4 p. m.
in tlie evening, following a band
concert, Mr. Hartman addressed a
packed house at the Lucas. Attorney
; E. D. Noonan presided. Samuel V.
Stewart, chairman of t lie democratic
j state committee, and most of the nomi
nees on the county ticket were present
jand seated on the statge. Peter San
ser, Butte's tire chief, nominee for
railroad commissioner, was also pres
cut.
Mr. Hartman is one of the most
energetic and pleasing speakers on
the Montana stump, lie is admittedly
one of the "original insurgents." His
sincerity and earnestness of purpose
are unmistakable.
He began his address by taking up
the direct primary law and gave a very
able discussion of this bill. The bills
affecting railroad legislation was the
only clean bill emanating from the
present congress. The record of
Charley Pray was next taken up. Mr.
Hartman said that Charley Pary was a
most affable and splendid young fel
low. and he perhaps had not better
friend in the state than himself (Mart
man), but that Charley, like a good
many others is afflicted with "cloak
room courage," or the wobbles, he then
took up his own record.
Mr. Hartman concluded his address
with a splendid climax and the meet
ing closed with enthusiastic cheers.

GEORGE A. REESE MAKES
A STATEMENT
Owing to certain rumors afloat that
if Albert J. Hoik, the republican can
didate for county clerk and recorder,
is elected he will appoint me the un
dersigned, his deputy, 1 hereby make
the statement that I will not accept
the deputyship under any considera
tion, as my plans for the future are
already made and feel that the voters
of Ravalli county have treated me
fairly by retaining me in office for
several years, and hence consider it
my duty to step aside. Appreciating
the favors I have received and, in jus
tice to myself and Mr. Hork and in
consequence of the above rumors, I
consider it my duty to make this
statement.
GEO. A. REESE, County Clerk.
