A method of making delicious fresh
butter extemporaneously, one might say,
or in the emergency, is as primitive as
Egyptian farming, still the most ancient
in method. Take a clean citrate OF mag
nesia bottle and nearly flli it with cream
and shake It up and down and laterdlly
for about twenty If it is pre-
ferred sailed a little rolled salt may be
added.
A family butter not for commerce is
made by a southern gentleman using wind
power. He puts cream in an air-tight
jar two-thirds full and fixes it in Lille of
the axis of a windmill swung low to the
ground. The jar is placed in a box ard
in hot weather ice is packed, wrapped in
woolens, around the bottle. AS the wind
mill revolves the jar turns with its axis
| and is agitated until the churning is I'M
ished. He puts the jar in place at night
and takes out the butter in the morning,
| when a fine, firm roll is obtained.
The best way to clean painted walls Is
to use a large soft sponge. Those known
as .~scodchmlen's sponges" can be had at
a verylow price. They should be wrung

downward, going ever a small space at i
time, before it IS wiped dry again with

to change the water often, as wIping a

More Social Supremacy.

N Helena an enlivening spring cam
palgn Is progressing-it is the most
stirring incident that has dlstin-
guished life at Montana's peaceful capt.
tai in recent times. The excitement
has its origin in the rivalry over the
Office Of mayor. You wouldn't think
hat able-bodied men woul wrangle
over such a thing as the m~ayoralty Of
Helena, but they do, and the campaign
is lively.
In spite of the stir i'm Helena. how
ever. the contest over the mayoralty
is a jug-handle affair-at least it surely
ought to be. The political parties are
represented In a faint way in the con-
test. but as election day approaches
the partisan feature becomes less and
less distinct. The democratic candi-
date, Mr.. Farris, has seen aldermanic
service. m while he is not a man OF
prominence-as regulations run-he is
generally known as a good sort of man.
The republican candidate is, on the
other hand, a notorious individual. His
distinction is hat while serving as al
herman IN ffSiena ne SIdl III the ldCe OF
a fellow alderman.
This mans name is Edwards. If he
proves TO be the peoples choice for
mayor he may be relied on to uphold
the Hellenic theory of social supremacy
by squirting tobacco juice into the eye
of every resident If the town who
doesn't happen to like his way of run
ming things. To say nothing of the So
cial supremacy part of II, the people
of Montana viii feel warranted in de-
handing that. if Edwards is elected.
the citizens Of Helena produce a GER
tihcste that they ave taken a bath
since election before they visit other
cities Of the state.
The election in Helena does not much
interest anybody in Montana outside Of
that city. yet we can't help wondering
what sort Of man this man with the
dirty mouth must be when even the

Z YEARS ago. when he began to work

to have a mind of his own or to pro-
claim his views. although his surround
ings thus far bring him into constant
relations with the administrations
peace-craving forces.
This week Roosevelt has been much
talked about and warmly praised. Last
Saturday night he attended a banquet
I'm Washington. Hanna was there.
Roosevelt was called on for a speech,
and he hit right out from the shoulder.
He said he was a representative of the

honor was of more consideration than
all other things. II Americans got the

not be paramount with the American

was welcome to try HI experiment.
These remarks were so pointed and
the allusion so obvious that Senator
Hanna turned as red in the face as a
lobster and fairly squirmed in his chair.
The diners broke int loud applause.
and one of the men at the table turned
to senator Hanna and said: Now.

Senator Hanna also spoke at the din

Special DISPATCH to the Standard.
Helena. March 31.-The Helena Tax
Payer is the name of a new daily news
paper that made it's bow to the people Of
the capital city tonight. 1t is a campaign
organ and the direct result of the Her
aids refusal to support the republican
candidate for mayor. Frank J. Edwards.
The Herald carries Edwards name at the
head of its editorial column. but refrains
from saying anything in praise of him
and tonight called upon him to withdraw.
This has brought about the temporary
addition to the Helena press. The Tax
Payer makes several startling allegations
concerning corporations trying to run the
city and lauds Edwards as the friend of
the tax payer and the w~orkingman. 1t
attacks Farris. the democratic candidate
for mayor. but This is not worrying any
body. rs SO many republicans are openly
working for Farris that his election Is
conceded.

Beginning Of a New Era in the History
of Montana.

Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena, March 31.-This was the day
advertised by the state arid land commits
sion for receiving bids for the construc-
ton of the big canal at Billings. One bid
was received, but from whom cannot be
learned. Vice Chairman Bradford of the
commission, in speaking of the bid to-
night to the Standard reporter. said:
"A good bid has been received for the
Billings canal construction and the COM
mission will meet the early part of the
coming week to award the contract. The
presence of the lands other than Carey
lands. and the necessity for arranging for
their inclusion in the plan of reclamation
will cause some delay i'm the commence
ment of actual work. but otherwise we
are in excellent shape. This is the begin
ming of a new era in the life of Montana,
which will not only keep millions of dol
lars at home that are now sent out for
supplies. but II will increase the feeding
capacity of our ranges to an ormou
extent. With the production of winter
feed the ranges can be more closely fed
off during the summer. i am very much
gratified with the success so far, and am
convinced that nothing will henceforth
prevent the development of numerous val
leys in the state. The commission Is 'in-
formed by many men with families that
they are anxious to take lands under
the canal act, and we desire all who do,
no matter where now located, to send in
their names with postofice address. and
whether or not they have teams. so that
they may be notified when LAND and work
on the canal can be had. II is the policy
of this commission to aid the settlers in
