Billings, Mont. ~"---o'- ." 1901.
St. Vincents hospital is an institution
still new to many people in Billings.
despite the fact that it was opened some
two years ago. Sister Superior Apollo
MOS, who is in charge, having succeeded
Sister Superior Antoinette, came to
Billings about two or three weeks ago
from Helena. Previous to going to
Helena she was located at Denver in
charge of st. Joseph's hospital. Sister
Apollonios is pleasant lady, a splendid
conversationalist and a thorough bust
ness woman. The sister is very much
pleased with this city and the hospital.
She said she was surprised to find such
nice hospital building and SO nicely
furnished. She also compared it with
those of Helena and many other cities
OF the west, saying it excelled even
those. There are but two features
lacking in the hospital work here, they
being the absence of gas lighting in the
building and an ambulance, but the
sister hopes to secure both of these in
the next few months. She also expects
to secure the services of a professional
lady nurse from the east for the hospi-
tai in short time. The hospitol 1T pres
ent has the largest number of patients
that have been there since it was es-
tablished. Last months record showed
80 patients. Every room in the hospi-
tai Is now occupied and the wards are
hlling. The patients come from all over
eastern Montana and northern WyOm-
ing. The county commissioners of Rose
bud county, as we'll as Sheridan county,
Wyoming, in which the town of Sheri-
dan Is located, have contracted with the
hospital to care for their patients, and
the grading campers on the TOluca Cody
branch also send their sick to the hospi-
tai.

Many of their number have been known
to be prowling around the pest house
on numerous occasions, besides gather

Educational association last night At
the lastasessi0as Of its fortieth annual

principles declaring that the problem
Of elementary education. Is the most
Important one with which the state
must deal.
Following 10 synopsis Of the decla-
ration Of principles:
1.-The problem, Of elementary educa-
ton is the most important problem
with which the state must deal. To
provide for the universal education Of
youth is the duty Of every state In the
Uaioa: c Residents pf gtsrritDry under
the direct control Of the general govern
ment. including the Indian territory,
Alaska and our new possessions must
receive the benefits Of free education
at the hands Of the government. We
note with satisfaction the steps that
have been taken by the present admin
istration to place the blessings of free
schools within the reach of all children
Of all people under our .hag.
&The bureau Of education, under
the direction of William L, Harris.
commissioner of education, has rem
dered invaluable services to the cause
Of education throughout the, United

NEW IRRIGATION LAWS

Denver. July 13.-Up to the present
time State Engineer McCune has heard
comparatively few complaints from
the ditch men on account of scarcity
Of water, for the streams Of the state
have been running fairly we'll. Now
that the dry season is at hand the
state engineer, In anticipation of the
trouble that Ia bound to come to his Of
flee, has sent to the watr commission
ers all over the stute a circular letter
calling their attention to the most re-
cent irrigation lnws. Blanks for the
record of reservoirs in each district
are enclosed with the letter, copy of
which follows:
During the last Legislature foun ir-
rigntion bills only were passed: The
district irrigation law, the Gunnison
tunnel bill, the law providing penalties
for not putting hendgates and meas
uring fumes. and the law making 1t
possible to convict any one for taking
water contrary to the orders Of the
water commissioners. U
Senate Bill No. 1856 (Clayton) pro-
vides, first, that good headgates and
rating fumes be provided and main
tanned; then In case Of refusal the
state engineer or superintendent of irri-
CATION, after ten days notice, refuse to
allow water to such ditch. This law
applies to bitches or reservoirs using

0The association recognizes the
principle that the child has the same
right to be protected by law from ig-
norance as from abuse, neglect aud

approval that many of the Leading
states of the Union have compulsory

l0-While many cities have at least
partly solved the problem of school
supervision. in most rural communities
the problem is almost wholly unsolyed.
Close, constant, expert supervision of
schools in both city and country is im-
peratively demanded.
| 1.-THE association watches with
deep interest the solution of the prob
lem of consolidating rural schools and
transporting pupils at the public eX-
pense. now attempted in many of our
leading states. We believe that this
movement will lead to the establish
ment of township and county high
! schools and thus bring more advanced
education to rural communities.
| 12-The state should support and coll
/ trol institutions whose object is the
preparation of teachers for the public
schools.
13-No one should be placed in
charge Of school who has not been
previously trained for the work Of
teaching.
live believe that the standards for
school architecture. including the prop
er seating. heating, lighting. ventila-
ton and ornamentation of public school
buildings should be as definite as the
standards for teaching.

A careful perusal Of crop reports
from all parts of the state indicate
that Kansas will not raise more tnan
50,O0O,0O0 bushels of corn this year.
The crop will thus be less tim third
of last years yield and less than IL
fifth Of 1899. The late corn is all that
will yield anything, the early product
being given mp more than two weeks

as 1t usuaIy is at this time of year.
This fact is proving It's salvation. II

admits that the crop is practically a
failure
While corn has failed, alfalfa has
given an abundant yield. The cond,-
tions hnve been very favorable for al
falfa, and 1t has established its reputa-
tion as dry weather product.
Wheat is nearly all in the stack. In
many cases it has been harvested only
to be burned. AS many as 10000 acres
of wheat in the stack have been
burned during the last two weeks. The
fires start from the slightest causes.
so intensely dry is everything, and
when they are once started there is
no water on hand with which to fight
them.
Trees are showing the effect OF the
drought. Leaves are falling like late in

A FAMOUS OLD HOUSE.

The house of Walter Baker d Co,
whose manufactures of cocoa and
chocolate have become familiar in the
mouth as household words, was es-
tablished one hundred and twenty
one years ago (17S0) on the Nepon-
set River in the old town Of Dorches-
ter, a suburb of Boston. From the
little wooden mill, "by the rude
bridge that arched the food" where
the enterprise was first started, there
has grown up the largest industrial
establishment of the kind in h
world. 1t might be said that, while
other manufacturers come and go,
Walter Baker G. Co. go on forever.
What is the secret of their great
success? 1t is a very simple one.
They have won and held the conf
dence of the great and constantly in
creasing body of by al
ways maintaining the highest stand

chocolate preparations, and selling
them at the lowest price for which

feel justified in denouncing in the
strongest terms the fraudulent meth

are palmed off on customers who ask
for and suppose they are getting the
genuine articles. The best grocers
refuse to handle such goods, not alone
for the reason that, in the long run,
it doesn't pay to do it, but because
their sense of fair dealing will not
permit them to aid in the sale OF
goods that defraud their customers
and injure honest manufacturers.
