The force Of Mr.. Widemann's testimony that

A letter from the secretary Of the Oriental
Telephone Company (limited) Of date 18th
July, lss2, to Mr.. Adams is in evidence in
which the company repudiates the idea that
Mr. Hubbard could have undertaken to pro-

Without detailing the evidence, which is
quite lengthy, consider the following to be
the undisputed facts Of this case. number
Of gentlemen in Honolulu had agreed to form
a company to establish telephone spstem in
this city. The promoter was Mr.. G. o. Ber-
ger with whom was associated a Mr.. Thomp-
son. The persons secured the agreement Of a
number Of persons to have telephone stations
at their houses and another list Of subscribers
to take stock in the company to be formed.
Mr.. Berger correspondent with parties in Cali
fornia endeavoring 10 procure the necessary
instruments but was unsuccessful. Mr..
Thompson was equally unsuccessful after
personal efforts in San Francisco. Shortly
before this the Oriental Bell Telephone Co.
was formed in Boston, having secured rom
the American Bell Telephone Co. the right to
sell and use the telephone apparatus Of this
company in Polynesia, Australia, China and
India. This company learning that there was
a prospect Of establishing telephone system
in Honolulu sent hither Samuel Hubbard as
their Agent. lie arrived here October 18th,
lssO having brought with him considerable
telephone apparatus and soon connected with
Mr.. Berger. At meeting of the subscribers
to the contemplated company, held November
23d, 1850, Mr.. Hubbard read or showed a
prospectus prepared by him in which the
capital stock was put at $4,000 divided into
/, 900 shares at the par value Of $40. The
prospectus reads Stock to be disposed as

Is weak, In sympathy with trade.
Even the dividend paying roads are
down In the list, and the entire board
shows a decline of from 10 to 20 per
cent from last years quotations. The
Ohio floods have destroyed, at last
reports, over twenty millions worth
of property, and the damage
to the railroads will mount
into the hundreds of tho usands. This
adds a new disturbing and depressing
element to trade.
The grain and provision markets
show evidences of an upward tendency,
although 1t is not yet strongly marked.
Wheat and corn in store is decreasing
at Interior points, and unless
large blocks are aoon thrown upon
the market tho speculative do.
mand for these commodities must

leading eastern papers maintain that
the general holding back Of their corn
by the western farmers, will prove q

from the profits. This opinion Is not,
however, generally shared by financial
editors hi 'ughout the country. Mean.

THE end of the star route trials IA
near at hand and the conspirators have
reached the end of their tether. The
confession Of Montford @. Rerdell,
one of the ring contractors, aud
formerly private secretary to Stephen
W. Dorsey, FORCES the last link In the
chain of evidence necessary to con.
viction and paves the way to a speedy
conclusion Of the case. Rerdell I'm.
plicstes all the guilty parties and es-
pecislly Dorsey and Brady and tells
In detail the steps by which this 81.
gAntic conspiracy against the treasury
department was conducted. Added
to the mass Of new evidence which the
government had accumulated, Rer.

be expected to follow. Bat no new
testimony was needed to convince the

overwhelming that nothing but bare

THERE is wonderful merit in Montana
soil for the production of vegetables. Both
the quantity and quality Of all the harder
varieties is very superior. Beets, turnips,
rutabagas, cabbage. lettuce, raddishes. car
rots, and potatoes all grow very fine and
with the least possible attention. All that
the average gardener does after planting is
to run the water between the rows for a
short time two ar three times during the
growing season. Not half the potatoes are
ever powed or hilled up. and it is seldom
that cabbages are hoed. Thorough cultiva-
ton would, of course, very materially in
crease the yield and also the size of these
vegetables, but it is rarely ever practiced
One reason for this lack of cultivation is that
weeds are not every prolific and do not ne
ces>itae constant hOeing and plowiUg, as in
the States. All that is absolutely required
is planting and watering, aud we will put
the result of this amount OF labor against
any country in America.

OF the $40. 900 worth of truit and orna-
mental trees planted by Montana farmers
and suburban residents, it is safe to saw.
there is not now $4,000 worth living
There are many reasons for this. In Mon.
taha. as in all new countries, the majority
OF the farmers have looked upon the plant
ing ont Of fruit trees as all that was neces-
sary to growing fruit, and bus little or no
care has been exercised in selecting the
ground, preparing the soil or in caring tor
the shrubs in winter. In many Instances
trees taAsn from the richly manured nurs-
cries OF the older States have been set in
cold clay or alkali ground, without parti-
Gle OF soil about them. In some instances
they have been set in unplowed lands. ns
care being taken except to dig little hole
and tramp the hard clods around the tree.
Some times they have been judciously WA
| tered. but in most Cases their roots have
been Hooded, state very unnatural tor
fruit trees. La winter but little or no mulch
ing has been used. and the consequence is
the loss has been very great and farmers
generally are ready to assert that Montana
is not truit country, and that it does hot
pay 70 bother with trying 70 grow orchards
and fruit gardens. But this is all mistake
There are number of very successful Or
chards in Montana, and almost every farmer
who has attempted it has made partial
success of small fruit. And now that an
era requiring the most rigid farm economy
has arrived We feel confident that the day
is not distant. when two-thirds OF our ia rm-
ers' tables will be srppled with fresh fruit
grown at home. The experiments thus far,
though expensive, have not been without
some good results. NOtwitllsl antliny the
disAClvantageous conditions undcr which the
majority OF Montana fruit orchards were set
eu'. some OF the plantings ~n most every
farm are alive, and in the cases of small
fruits will soon multiply into respectable
gardens. Anyhow, it will be sufficient to
encourage more planting and greater care.
We are satisfied that the experiment proves
the p ssibiity of fruit growing in our Ter
| ritory, and expect to see it engaged in on a
large scale in few years. Small fruit will
eSpeci lily become very popular. In ten
more years it is safe to predict that Mon
tana will be one Immense small fruit or
| chard. and ia three years the crop will be
10y no means small.

S" liat le to be summer packed and conse-

easily better worth so cents per dozen than
the States product ii worth 80 cents. 1t
would therefore seem probable that Mon
tana poultry men will continue to realize
30 cents per dozen for their eggs, notwth-
standing we have railroad. cheap and
quick transportation, etc. But if only 35
cents can be realized for eggs, the prospects
OF the business is good, for with grain down
to one cent per pound, there is 40 use it can
be put to that will prove more profitable
than feeding it to hens that will lay even

affairs continues, it will pay farmers to give
double the attention to poultry that they
have done heretofore.
