Jos. Paul, living six miles northwest OF
town, had in one hundred and sixty acres
of wheat this season, which yielded near
ly ~thirty-one bushels to the acre. The
wheat sold for forty-eiglt cents a bushel.
and he finds the profit was seven dollars
an acre, making 4 profit of $1,120 for the
one hundred and sixty acres. All of the
work was hired, from blowing to thresh-
ing, so that that the man who does a CON
siderable portion Of his own work would
have a larger protit-Walla Walla Wash.
Ter) Journal,
Forty eight cents per bushel, or so cts.
per 100 lbs, seems like an insignificant
sum to pay for wheat, but if a profit of
81 per acre can be made in WASHINGTON
Territory selling wheat at that price, a
much larger profit can be made in Mon
tana. where the cereal brings from $1.25
to $3.50 per 100 lbs. Even TO ~ cent a
pound, which is paid for wheat ia the
market at this place, seems small, but
when it is considered that the quality is
generally poor and the distance to market
SO great, it is u fair price. The price paid
for No. 1 hard in Minneapolis is only 50
cents per bushel, which is no more than
is peid here for wheat Of Il quality so in
ferior to No. / hard as to admit CT 40
comparison.

A fire broke out on the prairie about
seven miles above Fort Shaw one day last
week, and a severe gale blowing at the
time drove the fiery element toward the
post at a lively rate. Seeing the danger
which menaced the Fort, the command
ing officer ordered out the troops who,
with a number Of citizens, succeeded in
getting control Of the flames before they
reached the Fort. Owing to the unusual
dry weather during the past few months,
prairie fires have been numerous through
out northern Montana, and a large area Of
range has been destroyed.
