MODESTY PREVENTED
Hank Hyers From Occupying the Seat of
Honor in the Parade.


Missoula, July At was only his own
modest and retiring disposition that pre-
vented Hank Myers to-day from occupy
Ing the seat of honor in he parade. If
there is any man in the state who is en-
titled to ride in the band wagon that man
is Mr. Myers. He Travelled all the way
frGnI the wilderness of the Lewis and
Clarke timber reserve to see the Fourth
in all its glory-part of the time he rode
and part of the time he walked. He climb
ed mountains and forded streams. H
scaled log Jams, lost his horse and then
came on afoot, just to make good his
promise to be in Missoula on the Fourth.
Mr.. Myers had a fairly easy trip until he
reached the big log jam on the Blackfoot.
He had been obliged to get wet two or
three times. but he was able to keep his
horse and the little troubles of the journey
We're as naught when ne looked forward
to the celebration that he knew was be-
fora him. -..a
He thought of the red fire and of the
cCol beer at SCotty's, and kept on coming.
Put when he reached that log jam above
Bonner it was all off. His horse could
do ALMOST anything, but he couldn't
climb a tree Neither could ne chamber
over a log lam. So there was but one
thing to do-abandon the horse aud walk
to town. That was done and the walk
was not pleasant one. The day was hot
and the road. when it led away from the
river, was dusty. But he cut himself a
cane and plodded on. Just this side OF
Bonner Mr.. Myers met John Mccormick,
who invited him to ride to town, and
never was an invitation more eagerly ac-
cepted. When the committee learned of
tho effort that Mr.. Myers had made to
get to town an invitation was extended
to him to ride, AS stated, in the band wag
on. but the offer was courteously declined
the band wagon occasionally got too far
from the beer.

A MIX Trust.

Missoula, July 3.-The forming of
trusts has at last reached our beauti-

heralded to the people when it is learned
that the milk men have caught the
fever and formed trust. Some trans
fers We're made on Monday and others
are under way. While the milk men
are forming combine to trust the peo-
pie some of the merchants have issued
notices that they will refuse to trust
any one in future. It's a poor rule that
doesn't work both ways.

Drunken Indians.

Missoula, July 3.-The only business
that was done in the justice courts to-
day was three drunken Indians that

do thing to the judge when thay
catch him on the reservation. One of
the Indians that the judge gave 10 days
to IS a judge himself at the court on
the reserve, and if Judge Houtcaens
should ever be 81 unfortunate DIS to get
caught on their grounds they viii never
let him return.

To have the boys look well and feel
happy on that great day they should

CROP SEASON IS VERY LATE.
Farming Operations Delayed East
of Rocky Mountains.

Washington, April 1.-THE weekly crop
report of the weather bureau issued to-
day says:
The season is unusually late in all dis
tricts east of the Rocky mountains ex-
cept over Southern and Western Texas.
The ground is still frozen to a consider
able depth In the states of the Upper Mis-
souri, valley, frost being still in the ground
as far south as Northern Missouri, with
considerable snow on the ground over the
northern portions of the upper lake re-
gion and New England.
From the Middle Rocky mountain re-
gion, eastward to the Atlantic coast the
season is variously estimated to be from
two TO four weeks late, and as a result
farming operations are much delayed, the
unfavorable temperature conditions in the
OHIO valley, Atlantic coast and East Gulf
states being accompanied by excessive
precipitation, tending to further delay.
On the Pacific coast and in the plateau
regions the weather conditions have been
very favorable.
Some corn has been planted as far north
as Tennessee and the extreme southern
portions of Missouri and Kansas, while
planting Is nearing completion in >Louisi-
ana and Texas o..
over the central and eastern portions
of the cotton region but little cotton has
been planted.
In Southern Texas much cotton has been
planted and planting will soon be general
in the northern portion. Some of the early
planted cotton was killed by recent frosts
in Texas
The general conditions of winter wheat
continues unpromising i'm the principal
wheat producing states of the central val
IN hn Gn h..
of the crop is very favorable In California
and Oregon, but in Washington much has
been killed, which, however, will be re-
soWn.
Slow progress has been made with oat
seeding, which has been almost wholly
confined to the states south of the Ohio
and Lower Missouri rivers.
