screaching OF steam whistles and shouts
Of welcome from 10000 threats, William
J. Bryan was received in Butte today.
House tops sagged under the weight of

faces. The crowd at the depot was so
dense that the police were unable to cope
with it, On reaching his hotel, Mr.
Bryan responded to calls, of the people
and made d brief address. He referred to
tie fact that this day was the anniversary
of the day of the notification and speech
of acceptance at Madison Square Garden,

brating the event in this place, but am
forcibly reminded of the material differ

At the Portland grounds this afternoon
occurs one of the most interesting games
of the season between the Murphy
and the Saccarappas at Warren park 1t
is more than probable that the crowds at
both Portland and Warren park will be
twice as large as they were at the last
game, as there is to be large crowd OF
rooters coming from Cumberland Mills
and if they are such as attended last Sat
urday's game it will be interesting for
the "rooters' from Portland. Hassett has
been engaged to umpire the game in
Portland and as he is acknowledged to be
fair in his decisions it will do away with
tho objections that have been offered
against previous umpires.
Some misunderstanding has arisen az
to the game between the Irons and Pre-
sumpscots, scheduled for Wednesday. The
facts of the case are these: Wednesday
was rainy, and no game. Thursday @
telephone message was received from the
Presumpscots asking if the game could
not be played on that day, but as it was
SO late before the manager of the Irons
could be found it was impossible at tie
time to notify his team, but stated that
he would be perfectly willing to play OF
Friday. The Presumpscots refused to dc
this.

OF the day, leaving for the morning
paper the work, not only of chron-
icling all the others, but of publishing
the really important facts about t! csc.
There is an equal difference in the
value of the morning and the afternoon
paper for advertising purposes. Ten
insertions in the latter are scarcely
equivalent to one in the former, as far
as mercantile results are concerned.
There are two reasons which account
for this common fact of business tx
perience One is that the evening paper
is not bought to be read, but to be
scanned hurriedly for those few items
Of important news which are all that
it can contain. Ii does not usually de-
serve to be read, because 1t cannot
give either news or opinions with any
thoroughness, and it meets exactly the
fate for which ii is prepared. The man
who buys it LOOKS over the headings
to see if there happens to be anylhmS
of interest occurring before noon that
day, and leaves his copy il the office
or the street car Or wherever he may
chance to be. Almost never is any
number carried 20 the home. AS to the
copies that are delivered regularly at
houses, the argument is even more con-.
vincing. The wife is he purchasing
agent of the household. Like every
other sensible person who COntem-
plates an outlay of money, she does not
plan to spend it until she mas read
the last word that is to be said on the
subject. The idea that any prudent
woman would determine upon a pur-
chase of something advertised in an
evening newspaper when she knows
that before she can go down town the
next morning she will have the advan-
tage of reading all the. latest advertise
ments in the morning newspaper, is
just as absurd as to suppose that a
man would be satisfied with the report
of the first half of a ball game or
prize fight or a rowing match, when he
could as easily have it all.
1t is the last word that counts. The
buyers go forth to buy in the morning.
The last advertisement to reach them
is that contained in the morning paper;
and so it appears clearly, from a rea-
sonable examination of the subject
as confirmed by experience, that the
morning paper is incomparably the
more valuable advertising medium.
time for time, inch for inch. These
principles which we have stated have
made their way into the common mind
everywhere, being driven home by the
strong logic of result, and are unas-
sailable. The afternoon paper has its
merits and it's uses; but it can never
rise, however ably conducted, to an
equality in news or advertising value
with the morning paper. That is set
tied by the very nature of things.

EXPERIMENT STATION WORK.
Annual Meeting of Men Engaged rs
Expert AgricuIturaIists.

The annual meeting of the Associa-
ton of American Agricultural Colleges
and Experiment Stations will be held
in Minneapolis today, tomorrow and
Thursday. The meetings will be held
in one of the buildings of the uni
versity. The object of the meeting is,
of course, to discuss matters pertain
ing to agricultural college and expert
ment station work Sessions will be
held forenoon and afternoon of each
day and these are open to the general
public.
On the evening Of Wednesday. July
IA, Prof. Wiley, of the department at
Washington, will lecture upon and
illustrate the process of making sugar
from beets. The lecture and illustra-
tons will cover the whole ground of
the process of making sugar, COM
mencing with the ungrOund beet and
ending with the perfected product.
This lecture will afford a splendid OPP
portunity to those interested in this
branch to gain valuable information
in regard to it. The general public are
most cordially invited to attend this
lecture, and indeed all the sessions
called by the association.
On the forenoon of Friday the dele
gates will visit the state farm, and in
the afternoon will start on an excur-
sion through the Red river valley
country. They will be carried on a
special train, which j. J. Hill, presi-
dent of the Great Northern railway
has provided. Among other places the
excursionists will visit the sub-station
at Crookston, and the experiment sta
ton of North Dakota, at Fargo. They
will be in charge of Hon. w. M. Lig-
gett. the director of our station. 1t
was largely due to the efforts of Col.
Lggett that the meeting of the asso-
citation was brought to Minneapolis.

Harvard men, prefer Yale-Harvard contests
to a general Competition among institutions
IN all parts of the country, but neither Yale
nor harvard can afford to drop out Of the
wlder competition until the laurels have
been wrested from Cornell.
We do not pretend to- speak for all
graduates of Yale, but we do know
that In the West there Is a very strong
teellng among the alumni Of both Yale
and Harvard the exact contrary of the
position here laid down. There has
never been departure from the dual
league system that was satisfactory
TO the contestants. The larger the
NUMBER of participants in a race, the
more certain 1t is that 1t will be row.
ed under conditions to some extent un-
satisfactory. Yale men and Harvard
men care precious little or nothing at
all about winning the national cham
pionship." Ehay give up that sort of
thing to the Professionals. They never
can claim TIE national championship
until they have beaten every other
crew, or at least participated in a race
that would mean the practical dedica-
ton of all their time to rowing, for no
nopler purpose than to bring them
close to the professional level. What
Yale and Harvard graduates want is
to see their crew win from the other.
About the rest Of the rowing world they
are more or less indifferent.
What strikes us as peculiar, how
ever, and what we would call "curi-
Gus development" is the Eastern idea
that the time to withdraw from a con-
test with Cornell is after that colleges
crew has been beaten. We have an
idea out here that it is not exactly a
manly thing to do to vanquish an OPP
ponent and not give him a chance to
retrieve his reputation. Surely the time
to be magnanimous is when you are
a victor. Let us suppose that the Cor
nell crew won five Intercollegiate races
IN succession and lost the sixth. Where
would be the glory in stopping then,
and how are you going, by any single
victory to "wrest the laurels from Cor
NELL" when she might very justly
claim that the next test would result
differently
Now is the best possible time for
Yale and Harvard to resume their old
relations, if they wish to. Cornell has
beaten both of them. Let her have all
the triumph that there is in her splen-
did success. TO wait until one or both
of them should outrow her in a given
race, and then refuse to her an oppor-
tunity to regain her lost ascendency,
would be, in the Western view Of the
matter, unsportsmanlike, to put it as
mildly as possible. If Yale and Har-
ward are ever going to step out Of
the intercollegiate races, now is the
time to do it.
