Tobacco Growing in Montana.

Another evidence that Eastern Mon
tana is possessed of a wonderful soil IS
furnished in the fact that on Judge j. W.
Strevelfs land south of Miles City, an Oil
tobacco raiser, Raleif Holdt, made an ca
pertinent with three rows Of Connecticut
seeding. The experiment proved grand
success, the plants have grown to
height of five feet eight inches, with won
derfully large leaves, one leaf measuring
forty-four inches in length and is pro-
portionately wide. Mr.. Holdt, who has
raised tobacco i'll Wisconsin and other
states, says that he has never seen better
tobacco than what he has now, and tiiat
WISCONSIN tobacco is no comparison to,
the Montana product; he is also i'm
pressed with the fact that this tobacco,
has that quality of sweetness which is
so desired in a good tobacco. The to-
baccO raised will cure to about 2.aD
pounds, and when ready for sale will be-
sent to the Helena market.

TROLLEY CARRIAGE.
NOVEL PNEUMATIC TIRED STAGE
COACH FOR COUNTRY ROADS.

Tho oldest Experiment in the Line of a
Trolley just Brought to Successful
Conclusion 90 Almost Noiseless Coaches
Run Mt High Speed.
The oldest experiment in the line of
a trolley has just been brought to a
successful conclusion at Greenwich,
ct. The result is a trolley stage coach
that needs no rails for it's operation,
and that while retaining the conven-
tional trolley, has the wires at one side
instead of overhead, and that can be
turned around or moved in any de-
sired direction without interfering in
the least with the ordinary traffic Of
the highway.
1t is called the trolley stage coach, or
trolley carriage, and it's intent is to
supply that want which so often exists
of some means of transportation for
tthe public over a road on which prop
orty owners will not permit a regula-
zion tolley to be operated. To be sure,
there are the trolley wires of necessity,
but instead of, as stated being over
head, these wires are run along at one
side upon poles thirty feet high and
