There wa active buttonholing among the i1e1egatc In favor of each of the candidates , iiit It. was soon apparent. that the slate , embracing O'Connor , llerdmaii and Pickard , was to ho pushed through. The friends of Conner and Flynn accused Ilerdrnan of trying to run the whole Rtate. They found fault with the manner In which the dole. gation wa selected. charging that such ncthods were undcnrncratic and. destined to weaken the party organtzntion. The other ilde replied with equal warmth and some Indifference , confident of their newer to carry their lOlnt , which they did soon after , by a large inujority.

A majority - jority are in favor of Congressman Stark of Aurora for governor , but are In doubt as to his availabIlity. At. the congressional colt- vezitlon last Wednesday , where Stark was renominated , a delegate attempted to introduce - ' duce a resolutiot providing for fliliitg the vacancY In the event Stark should be itorn- jnatedfor governor. A chorus of protests greeted the resolution and Mr , Stark assured the convention there was no ilkelihood of a ' vacancy on the congressional ticket , and thoreupoil the resolutIon was withdrawn. .

Marshall Pierce of Oakland , Cal. , who is spending a few days at the exposition , says that the United States volunteers in camp in San Francisco and Oakland have been royally treated by tbe Californians , anti have only words of praise for the two cities. From their first arrival at Camp Merritt , and the two other camps that have beets organized in San Francisco and Oakland , the troops have been repeatedly remembered by the women of the cities. All sorts of provisions and fruits have been sent them , and an effort has been made to relieve the nionotony of their camp life. Among such a large number of troops who are not accus- towed to living out of doors , and who caine frotn atm entirely different climate , there was bounti to he some sickness , but the doctors expressed surprise at the rapidity with which the men became accustomed to the new climate. At present time health of thio troops is excellent , and they are all in good spirits , but are anxious to be mOved to the Philippines. Mr. Pierce says that the war is discussed much more generally on the coast than it is iii the Interior. The presence of the sot- diers has kept it continually before the peo- pie's minds , and the shipping of the differ- oat expeditions has intensified the war sea- timent. l'VMOhIUi I'nrnscrnimhM. . A.

It is located' iii the ox- treine east end of the building and is smiler the supervisIon of C , 11. Settles , who has Imail mucim to do with gathering the grains , grasses and prothmcts of the farm and for- oat. oat.The The state of Montana appropriated the sum of $15,000 to make tin exhibit antI Mar- esms Daly gave a like amount as a donation. A vortion of tlmia money was expended In erecting a state building on time Bluff tract and the balance in gatheriimg and placIng an exhibit. That the money lmas beeti well cx- pended is misdo appareimt by an inspection of the exhibit. Entering the Agricultural building front the east , time first. thing at. tim right of time huge doors -that is worthy of notice is an exhibit that has every indication of being a huge mountain. This is the forestry cx- imibit of Montana. Time foreground repre- seats a broad plain , upon the surface of which are scattered huge hogs of oak , pine , fir , hickory , aslm , poplar , sitIs imnderbrtmslt here and there. Just beyond the foreground the foothills break off abruptly anti the nmountain begins. Titus mountain reaches to the top of the Imigh gallery and aniong the crags and peaks are fine sieciinens of time birds and animals that inhabit the state. They are all stuffed and look as natural as life. There are moose , buffalo , deer , antelope , mountain sheep and beasts of prey. In time bird iino there are all of those that are native of the state , as veil as the migratory birds and fowl timat ftc- quent the forests and lakes amid rivers. To give the mountain a natural and pretty appearance , time peak is covered with snow , while a clear anti sparkling stream appears to trickle down the SIde mind lose Itself in the valley that spreads out for mnhles in every direction. Of course this Is not real , but it might as well ho so , as the artist , assisted by his colors and his hrmmmmlm , has done at the exposition what nature has ( lone 1mm the state trout which the exhibit comes. Time wealth of Montana does not all lie In the mountains which produce gold , silver - vor , copper , lead and coal , but Immstead , much of it comes front the fertile soil of the earth , the bosom of wimich upon being tickled by the plow of the farmer , produces as fine crops as grow in any land tinder the sun , A few years ago it was not supposed that Montana would ever take a place as one of the agricultural states of the union. Now , however , it Is one of the greatest grain producing section of time country , the proof of which is furnished by the exhibit that has been spread out for inspection. The wheat which is on exhibition , both in sheaves and itt sacks amd jars , stands close inspection and while it is all of the spring variety It grules No. 1 and brings a high price in the nsarket. The color is imerfect , wimich is due to the fact that it Is seldonm wet between harvest time mmd mnarketiimg. This is also true of the barley , oats anti other small grain. Right In this connection it mhy be said that Montana shows time largest yield per acre of spring wheat of any ttate iii the union. Last yeam- time yield averaged sixty-on& hmishels per acre , oats 127 and bar- icy seventy-five. rn addition to the small grain , a fair quality of earn is shown , though the state dues not ia' any clainma to being iii the corn belt. Time pride of the state lies In its grasses and ranges. On the great ranges of the valleys and mountain slopes , red top , , bummph grass , buffalo grass anti blue steam gro'vs in great profusion , curing on the atom , thus affording the finest wInter graz- lug , Of the taxe grasses there is the timothy - othy , the alfalfa and the red clovem' , which grows and matures two crops ver year , Tile exhibIt of Montana Is neatly or- ranged , the wheat and small grains being constructed to represent pyramids , while around the bases are jars containing flour , meal , altellod grain and canned fruits. Over the booths , of whlclm there are a number , Itro inscriptions calling attention to the i-c- sources of the etate. Under the canopies at the booths are pillars built of grain and hmitido are jars antI cans In which are the choicest products of the field , the garden amid the orchard. .
