Can You Figure ?

Sit down and figure out how many
dollars worth of cattle you would
have at the end of ten years If you
started now with so cows and of the
increase kept all the cows, sold only
your steers. Stock records show that
rs per cent. of your cows will raise
calves every year. The way we figure
it you would have an income of 100000
year at the end of 10 years, and
would have sold $25. 900 worth of steers
during that time. Figures can't lie.
We have one of the best cattle ranches
in Meagher county, Mont, which we
can sell for $4,000. There are 4S0 acres
and the Smith river runs through the
center of the ranch. A fine water right
goes with the place. Large open range
for the cattle. Entire place is well
fenced and has good dwelling house,
barns, stables, etc. The soil is fertile
and six feet deep. Cuts three crops of
alfalfa a year Smith river valley is

Gen. Guild Out of the Race.

John L. Bates, speaker Of the house Of
representatives, will be nominated for lieu
tenant-governor by the Republican state
convention in Massachusetts,. Gen. Curtis
Guild, jr., whose candidacy for the nomi-
nation in opposition to Speaker Bates
caused political contest, which for
friendly vigor and warmth had not been
seen by the Republicans of the state for
many years, gave a general surprise Tues
day by his withdrawal from the contest.
Ever since the caucus both candidates had
claimed majority of the state delegates
by counting those who had been pledged or
whose personal preferences were known,
while at the same time admitting that the
unpledged delegates were enough in num-
Der to elect one or the other candidate, on
whose side their strength should be thrown.
On the face of the caucus returns Mr..
Bates was the winner, but the figures pre-
pared by Gen. Guilds managers made it
appear that the nomination must surely be
made in the convention.

Two Boys Fishing Find a Box Com
tanning Over $1,000.

A tin box, containing $3.50 in green
backs, was found in the Housatonic river
five miles above Derby, Conn, few days
ago, and the money was identified Satur-
day as that of the late Dwight Washburn,
an Oxford farmer. Washburn had no
faith in banks, and kept his savings hidden
in his house. In April 1898 he was seized
with the delusion that his enemies had dis
covered the hiding place and intended to
rob him. He took the strong tin box with
the money and threw it into the river,
telling his friends that he had done so for
safe keeping. Officers vainly dra, y,d the
river bed at the spot where Washburn
said he had cast away his small fortune
Failure to find his treasure made the
farmer a raving maniac, and he was put
in the Middletown Retreat for the Insane,
where he soou died. The money was re-
covered by two boys, who were fishing
near the spot Washburn pointed out to the
officers. The boys were about to throw
the box away when they saw that it was
securely locked. They took it to a hard
ware store and had the lock fitted with a
key. The money was all intact. The find
was advertised, and Smith Wheeler, who
was Washburn's conservator, identified the
box. The money goes to a niece, Wash
burns nearest relative.
