MAKING OF SAUCE.
TIE ORCESTERSHIRE ARTICLE
NOW MADE IN THIS COUNTRY.
EXTREME CARE THAT Is

Many years ago. by the favor of n
nobleman residing in the County of
Worcester. England. Messrs. Lea {; Per-
rims became possessed of the receipt
for preparing IL sauce of exquisite flavor
ana pungcncy. This relish was intro
duccd to the public under the title of
Worcestershire Sauce. and since then
that name has become we'll known
throughout the civilized world. the
merits of the sauce easily establishing
the popularity of the article.
Lea X Pcrrins' Worcestershire Sauce
was first introduced into America by
John Duncan in the early forties. and
to-day the firm of John Duncan's Sons.
No. @92 Canal street is one of the
largest and best known establishments
OF its kind in the world. For years the
Duncans supplied the American mar
kct with Lea x Pcrrins Sauce direct
from the factory in England. but re-
Gently they have made IL new and valu-
able departure. They have received

factories of New York.

murrcr was sustained and the
plaintiff contends that this was error
The court says:
!. 1t is not now open to serious QueS-
ton that. If it were not necessary IN
the first Instance to have the contract
reduced into writing. parol evidence
may be received of conversations anu
circumstances subsequent to the time
of making the agreement. to show that
the parties. upon sufficient considera-
ton. consented afterwards to vary the
contract or add some new stipulation.
But it by no means follows that Il con-
tract within the statute OF frauds. ana
therefore required to be III writing in
the first instance, can subsequently De
modified or changed by parol. On the
contrary. the language just quoted
clearly intimatcS that this is not per-
MISSILE. After stating the common law
rule that simple contracts. though re-
duced TO writing. may be annulled or
modified by IL fresh parol agreement.
Mr.. Benjamin says: But this principle
OF the common law is not applicable to
n contract for the sale Of goods under
the statute of frauds. No verbal agree
mcnt 10 abandon il in part. or to add to
or omit or modify any of its terms. Is
admissible" We might without diff

but it is unnecessary. for this court has
in distinct terms held that contracts
Wnlch the law requires 10 DC In WrlllnE
cannot be- altered by subsequent parol
agreements.
Though there may be decisions else
where 10 the contrary. the weight of
authority accords with the view which
has met with approval in this state.
When the original contract is required
by the statute of frauds 10 be in writ
ing. the better opinion is that ii cam
not be varied by a subsequent contract
which is not in writing. AS the new
contract is rendered void by the stat
ute of frauds it ought not 10 affect the
rights acquired under the former agree
ment."
. There is no merit in the contention
that there was part performance by the
plaintiff in the present case. Mere nom
action cannot be treated as perform
ancc. either partial or complete. The
plaintiff parted with nothing of value,
and did nothing to its injury. I; sim
ply waited. choosing to rely upon n pa
rol agreement which it ought To have
known was not legally binding upon
the opposite party. The case of Simon

but, on its facts. goes a considerable cx-
tent further upon the same line. Judg-
ment affirmed.

Irrigation Legislation.

If the legislature of Montana might
for one session leave the road laws
without further amendment it would
not only be a relief to the people, but
would give time for our law makers 20
devote themselves to a matter which
in the counties of Montana where farm
ing is attempted is of vital Importance;
that is the matter CT our water right or
irrigation laws, says the Carbon Coun-
ty Sentinel. The laws governing these
matters. as now found upon our stat
ute books. have grown out of the Use
of water for mining under the customs
prevailing in mining sections of the
state. and are not as we'll calculated
for the regulation of the use of water
for irrigating crops or domestic pur-
poses as they might be. Experience.
even in this well watered county, goes
to show that under the laws as they eX
list continual hardships are worked by
one water right holder against another
and not through necessity, but
through the innate selfishness of men,

An Invitation to Carter.

To resign, to abdicate, to get off the
perch, when you no longer believe like
the people that elected you. This is
the righteousness unauthorized in re-
publican eyes, says the Miles City
News. 1t is therefore right. Let us
apply il. Hon. Thomas H. Carter, Unit
ed States senator from Montana-You
were elected from a free silver state,
by free silver constituency, on your
pledge to fight for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver" Since then
you have called the silver cause "a
craze" it's advocates "lunatics," the in
ternational agreement fake "a failure"
and now the appalling spectacle" is
presented of you foghorning for Nc

which you profess for all things hon

An Authority on PloMs.

Some of our contemporaries have
been discussing the Montana coat of
arms and rather object to the design
since it shows two plows the mould
boards of which turn in opposite direc
lions. the one to the right and the 9TH
er to the left, says the Rocky Mount
ain Husbandman. These plows have
each been in existence since the writer
was boy. Some preferred the one
kind. while others preferred the other
kind. The pillow with the mouldboard
turning the dirt to the right was the
most popular when the writer 1udged
between the pillow handles, but each
kind has its advocates Some one has
invented a disc pillow that simply rlel-
lows the earth without turning the soil
up to the sun, and claims that this is
the true principle. Supporting this
theory some Eastern college professors
have advanced the idea that the sum
mer following of land is injurious,
which, if true, would be great blow
to the turning pillow, for if summer fall
lowing is injurious any kind of fallow-
ing would be to some extent injurious
and the principle Of turning up the Cirt
would be found to be wrong. We, how
the mouldboard. stay by the fallow by
the turning pillow, let it turn either to
the right or to the left. We believe
that the turning is beneficial, that the
fallow is beneficial and that the share
and the mouldboard will continue to do
service time out of mind.

The heated term is upon us and with
the curing of the range grasses there
recurs the danger of damage by prairie
fires says the Stockgrowers' Journal.
With the extraordinary growth of all
range vegetation considered, the dan
ger is much more formidable this year
than usual. Range fires in this country
which is chiefly devoted TO grazing
constitute one of the worst disasters to
which we are exposed and very great
care should be observed by campers
and indeed by all who have occasion to
pass over the country that every fire
which is kindled for purposes of cook
ing is extinguished. Matches should be
carefully used and as carefully eXtin-
guished. In short time the grass Will
be as dry as finder and a fire once
started in the high growing, abundant
vegetation which now covers the plains.
will outrun a horse, especially if the
confagration be speeded by the usual
high prairie winds No ordinary fire
breaks will avail, nor will the usual
beating OUT process stop the prairie
fire of 1899. These fires once started
this year will work incaluculable dam
age to ranges, hay lands and the cattle
industry generally. Let there be a
general warning against carelessness on
the range this year.

Plans for Welcoming the BOYS.

The question is what can be done?
The Livingston Post makes this sugges-
ton. Start a subscription fund at once
to raise the money to welcome the vol
unteers. The Post will print the names
of the contributors every week and we
will subscribe literally ourselves and
keep hammering away until the list
swells to thousands This is far from
an idle dream. Distinguished and
wealthy men from the different parts
of Montana will be glad to assist and
attend. Money can be raised to secure
the services of several bands which will
compete for prize to be awarded by
competent judges of music. There are
any number of stockmen who will con-
tribute the beef for barbecue and a
street fair on Main street with suit
able reward for the business house
making the finest display would work
wonders. The Grand Army and the
Women's Relief Corps would of course
be the natural promoters of such eel
ebraton as this. They are talking
about it now and the business men say
they are willing to help in every way.
The Post gives these suggestions second
hand. They are the common talk of
the streets. Something is sure to be
done. All the Post has to say is let
us do il right

Bozeman as n Resort.

Says the Bozeman Chronicle: 1t is
felt by many in this city that If its nat
ural charms were once brought to the
attention of the Butte public, the peo-
pie there would find this city an ideal
place for their Sunday outing. Living
at a place where no green relieves the
dull monotony of the scene, the deni-
zens of Butte hunger for grass, leaves
and flowers. They have each Sunday
made a trip to some place more beauti-
fully stuated-last Sunday fully 1000
being unable to take advantage of the
cheap rates to Twin Bridges. Bozeman,
through the liberality of the railroad,
has now secured a cheap rate, and all
that is needed to turn the tide of this
travel to this city is to have just one
excursion. Thereafter others will flock
here to enjoy our trees. our flowers AMI
manifold natural advantages which
places Bozeman at the head of the list
of attractive, restful resorts. Our ci.i-
zens have taken hold of this matter,
and we hope that committee Will go

up an excursion.
