Judging from the scores that are be-

a club in the state that would afford

City's scalp on their "cou stick" we
must treat them with all respect, says
the Yellowstone Journal AS it is, the

pick-ups can put up game any day
that will compare favorably with the
best, and it is too bad that the expense
of travel prevents their meeting some
of the alleged ball teams of the big

the tWenties and thirties on each side

Fruit in Montana.

Every farmer in the state of Mon
tana and every suburban resident with
water at his or her command can
grow a nice small fruit orchard. and
this is certainly of first Importance
says the Rocky Mountain Husband
man. We believe in growing standard
fruit. and believe it can be done on the
majority of valleys of Montana of
course in some localities it will require
Skill experience and care, but it can
and will be accomplished in the end
But to meet present crying need Cor
fruit for the table every day in the
year, We say grow a nice lot of small
fruit There is no country on earth
where gooseberries and currants can be
more easily grown than this and none
where the crop is more sure or the
yield is larger. More than this, we
will say that the country does not ex-
list where the wild and tame fruit of
these varieties is Of a finer quality and
there is no reason why every home
should not have its small fruit shrubs
and grow sufficient supply to last the
Whole year through. With a great
quantity of gooseberries and currants,
raspberries and strawberries may be
sandwiched in sufficiently to keep Of
the variety necessary to make each
palatable. Why not heed our counsel
in this matter. 1t is the cheapest and
best fruit supply Immediately avail
able. We urge this, for we feel that if
the farmer does not grow these things
and depends on buying them that his
table will be scantily supplied in this
respect. and fruit is certainly .one Ct
mans most important diets.

Extra Session Talk.

The chances for an extra session of
the state Legislature are excellent at
present. and one will likely be called
soon by Governor Smith, our great
tinancier, says the Muscular. The
cause for an extra session lies in the
fact that it is necessary to provide
revenue to keep the snip of state afioat
Last winter, when an extra session was
spoken Of. Governor Smith figured that
the state would secure at least $40, 0OC
inheritance tax from the Davis estate
which would be sufficient to meet run
ming expenses not provided for by the
Legislature. 1t now turns out that less
than $4,000 has been paid into the state
treasury by the estate. and it follows
that something must be done to make
up the deficiency that will exist before
the next regular session of the legis-
lature

Couldn't Name His Baby Dewey.

From the Chicago Record.
George Wilder of Madison, Wis, who
is pushing some special studies in
Zurich is highly incensed over the
treatment he received al the hands of
the local health department recently.
A son having been born to him, he no.
tilted the proper department, as is COM
pulsOry. and demanded the certifica tie
which, according to law, he must have.
Being patriotic American. he desired
his sons name to be George Dewey
Wilder, but here he reckoned without
his host. for the official informed him
that, inasmuch as Dewey was not a
name in any of the four languages
spoken in Switzerland German,
French, Italian and Romanish-the
name could not be accepted. After an
hours parleying, the officials agreed
however, ito name the young American
George - Wilder.

BeRverhead's Credit.

The county commissioners have made
arrangements for refunding the $4,000
issue of Beaverhead county bonds now
bearing interest at the rate of 6 per
cent. and issue in lieu thereof a new
series of 1920 years bonds bearing
per cent. interest only, says the Dillon
Examiner. These new . bonds will
doubtless be readily taken up and a
fair premium on the same offered in the
bargain. Beaverhead countys tinan-
cial condition. thanks to the efficient
and economical mana cement of our
county commissioners is rated every
where as al. That such is the case is
matter of congratulation and pride
to our taxpayers. The fact should not
be overlooked that by this new ar
rangement the county will save no less
than $500 annually or $4,000 by the
time these bonds will have matured.
This is magnificent sum.

Good Grass Weather.

The reports from ranges east west
north and south show copious showers
of rain, followed by just the right
weather for grass, says the Stockgrow
ers' Journal. Already there is abundant
pasturage and the moisture already
fallen affords a sure guaranty of a
grass crop this season These condi-
tions stimulate cattlemen to renewed
effort in the direction of stocking up
their ranges, and while prices of stock
cattle still remain too high for the more
conservative buyers, yet the assured
grass and hay crop give some of the
stockmen courage to risk rather more
in the matter of prices than they were
willing to do three weeks ago, and thus
they are taking on stock in COMPARE
lively small deals at the market quota

by southern breeders to meet the views
of northern buyers, there would be seen
