r. J. Clark, editor of the Northwest

milling and he ound much to interest
him among the fiourishing institutions OF

A quiet wedding was per
formed in this city Friday in which Miss
Mollie Mcdonald became the wife OF
Charles Ward of Butte. The parties are
favorites in the social circles in which
they move in this city and will make
their future home in the city of Butte
where the groom has employment. F.,
Saturday evening the Salvation Army
~aduuarte of this city was the scene
OF a musical service which in point OF
artistic excellence was a rare treat to
Il ose who attended. The very best
talent of the city churches rendered thelc
s rvices to make the meeting a success
and the hall was crowded to the doors
with the immense crowd long before the
time for the services to begin. The Ar
my officers held their usual services.
Several new improvements have LATELY
been made in the mill owned by the
Bozeman Milling company. To-day. a
set of new burrs were added to the equip
ment of the mill. Heretofore the mill
has only been. provided with rollers and
the rye flour and whole wheat has not
been handled. Since the addition of the
new French burrs the mill will turn out
i superior quality of rye flour and will
make a speciality of whole wheat flour
for which there is a great demand at the
y. esent time. .y It8 z
No petition for the pardon or commu>
tt ton of Hurst's sentence has as yet
bean circulated in this city. Sentiment
appe2rs to be divided on ;the matter and
it is extremely unlikely that the petition
would be as literally signed here as it Is
in other parts OF the state. Citizens.
CT course are eager to see Justice done and
wish to see the matter sifted thoroughly.
There are some who appear to know
what they are talking about who say
that there are things in connection with
h case that have not been exploited In
t~heHpapers.

State Game Warden Wagner made the

A few more days of fine weather and
the farms in the valley will be ready
for the plough. Some p%loughing has al
ready been lone. Farmers in h vicin,
fly of Willow creek are at work at their
spring blowing n spring work will go
ahead at a rapid pace as soon as the
frost is entirely out of the fields. The
principal crop of the valley is barley.
This crop was not SO much of a success
last year as it was in the past few years.
The buyers have all lost money on hand
ling it and the market here Is practically
dormant. The season preceding this one
the price of barley went considerably
opened at that figure without any foun-
dalton but the experience of the previous
year. This resulted in a loss to those
who purchased. and when the grain went
very much lower than it was the season
preceding this. Barley is king in the
Gallatin valley and has brought a mint
of money Into the county. The usual
yield is from Is to 90 bushels per acre
and the quality is said by experts to ex-
Gel any grain in the markets Of the world
and, hen in good. condition, at least
2E cents more than any harley raised in
the United States. -.
