section ought to be set off as natural
park. Certainly if the Yellowstone and
the Yosemite are national parks it is llt-
ting to make one in the White Noun

against the lumbermen that are despoll-

against their invasion.
We hear much about the dangerous
clement in our cities. There is not so
much danger from man in the aggregate
as from man in the segregate. The man
who in solitude broods over his lot is the
man to be more feared than the one that
is lost in the crowd. Behind our great
city population is this rural population.
We are afraid OF the mgrations to
the great cities. We should be equally
solicitous of these country communities.

After a bounteous supper the electric

feature of the display was the ilumina-

80 electric lights. The name Look OFF,
was spelled in incandescent lights, and
when lighted up the name can be read
for miles away. The design was sug-

HARRY POND KILLED
Fell Under a Freight Train at PascO
and Was Cut in Two.
IN THE FREIGHT YARDS
No One Was Near When the Acci-
dent Occurred-Four Days
Fight With In
dians.

Pasco, Wash. dispatch: A fatal ac-
cident occurred in the railroad yard
here this morning by which the night
foreman OF the Northern Pacific. II. II.
Pond, lost his life.
In some unexplained way he fell un-
der a slowly moving train. five cars
passing over him. cutting his body In
two at the chest. 1t being dark at the
time and no one being near him. 1t can
never be known just how the accident
occurred. Pond was 80 years old and
unmarried.
Harry Pond was for a long time de-
pot master and baggage agent for the
o. r.. q N. at Pendleton, ore. After
ward, and up to eight months ago. he
was In the train service of that road,
as conductor. Since that time he has
been with the Northern Pacific as
switchman and night yardmaster at
Pasco. He was unmarried. He has
brother living In Michigan. who has
been advised by wire OF the shocking
calamity, but no answer had been re-
celved up to a late hour last night.
The remains will arrive in Spokane
on train No. this morning. The fu-
neral arrangements will be in charge
OF the Order of Railway Conductors.
Mr.. Pond was a member OF the Ma
sonic order ana also the hhiBh's VI

II ne were living. and had his way

that he Is dead there Is no harm In
saying that he had the confidence, the
esteem and the friendship OF all who
ever met him.

summer evening few months ago.
and when seated upon lumber pile
waiting for a car. the subject OF future
existence incidentally came up. He as
serted emphatically:
ANY man who does not know there
will be a life hereafter is unworthy Of
present existence"
He followed this up with an earnest
argument In support OF his religious
conviction. and finally said:
my time will come some day. and
perhaps that day is not far distant.

In immigration matters and all things
tending to I'LL up the great West with
actual producers.
Mr.. Hill. when he was In Seattle
some months ago. remarked to Times
reporter that immigration would soon
be moving towards the Northwest He
says now that this movement has act
ua1ly began In earnest and the new
settlers In Minnesota are entering
homesteads and buying railroad lands.
This immigration movement, Mr.. Hill
asserted. was more perceptible than Tor
10 years past. He referred to the re-
cent convention at St. Paul during his
interview with the Times reporter and
said Il was a great success, and he
spoke OF the excellent representation
there from Washington
Mr.. Hill said that cities and counties
can effect a whole lot OF good in addi-
ton to what the state societies viii do.
He considers city and county societies
a very important adjunct to the state
societies. in fact the important work
will be by these through the state or
Plantations. These societies and MEM
bers thereof will be nearest the people

whole volume Is centered In an express
sion OF Mr.. Hilrs and most every one
can bear testimony to its truthfulness,
and that Is that the curse OF the West
Is that the people do not get upon the
land In other words, they rush into
towns and cities and not only do not
become producers but become burdens
TO the communities for this very latter
reason.
Mr.. Hill stated that he observed as
he came through Washington that
more and more land is being cleared
and the area OF tillable lands increased.
and after starting down from the cas-
cades he noticed also that the mills
were in motion. with a freshness ana
activity auguring better times mere.

TWO PRIZE PORKERS.
An Exhibit of What We Can Do In the
Way of Making Pork.


Judge Strevell killed two hogs on
Monday, says the Yellowstone Journal.
each about Is months old, one Berk-
shire that dressed 300 pounds. and the
other a Poland-China, that tipped the
beam ait 423 pounds. These results were
attained without any effort more than
to give the hogs good care and feed.
They were fed alfalfa up to about eight
weeks of killing and then put on corn,
and the testimony of eyewitnesses is
that they could be almost seen to
grow during the corn feeding period,
emphasizing the fact that there is no
feed for hogs comparable to alfalfa
topped off with corn. The former
makes the tissues and the latter fills
them out In a style that recompenses
the hog grower for all the care and
expense taken. While 1t is true that a
long stride has been taken by our
ranchers in the matter of hog growing
in the past year or two, 1t is too true
that they are much too slow in this
matter. This valley should supply all
the pork used IN the state, but as a
matter of fact. IL falls short of supply
ing Miles City alone.
Regarding the difference in weights
shown in the hogs referred to herein
of equal age and feeding, Judge Sire
veil Is of the opinion that NJ represents
the food-producing properties of the
two breeds; the Poland-China will pro-
duce a third more in pork, but on the
Other hand, the Berkshire product is
much finer and more desirable for the
table. A cross between the two would
no doubt produce good results.

FIRST WHEAT IN MONTANA.
Raised in the Bitter Root Valley Over so
Years Ago.


River Press: An item appeared re-
Gently in the Rocky Mountain Hus-
bandman, stating that the first wheat
grown in Montana was raised by a gem
tleman named Thomas, who harvestel
a crop in 1856 from seed brought from
Walla Walla on a pack animal. The
paragraph is being reproduced by 9TH
er Montana papers, and as the infor-
nation is not historically accurate, a
correction seems necessary.
The first authentic account of agricul-
tural pursuits in Montana is contained
in Father Palladino's book. "Indian
and White in the Northwest" in which
ii is stated that the founders of St.
Mary's mission, in the Bitter Root
valley, raised agricultural products in
1912. In the fall previous a supply of
oats, wheat and potatoes was procured
from Colville, Washington Territory,
and in 1912 crops were harvested by the
missionaries and their Indian helpers.
The operation was repeated in subse-
Quent years, and in 1916 Father Ravalli
constructed a grist mill, operated by
water power. by which a fair quality of
-four was produced. The mill-stones
were brought from Europe, and are at
present preserved as curiosities in the
little museum at st. Ignatius mission.
The above is believed to have been
the first attempt at agriculture in Mon
tana. The gentleman named by the
Husbandman was certainly in the field
at an early date, but wheat-raising in
Montana had been successfully accom-
plished some IA years before he made
the experiment
