CITY OFFICIAL PAPER
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IS, 1870;
CHRISTMAS.

The most universal festival of the
world, Christmas; the season of good
cheer and happiness, is looked forward
to with pleasant anticipations by both
old and young.
While the day is celebrated as the an
niverfary of the birth of Christ it is not
the exact anniversary of that event The
exact day of Christ's birth is unknown
and even the year is matter of conject-
ure. 1t is most probable that his birth
occurred in either: December or January
as in those months there was little rain
fall in the land ofIhis birth and the
shepherds were.kwont to watch their
fiocks by night.
Formerly January 9Th was celebrated
but in the fourth century the date was
changed to December 23th and the Gel
cbration of the latter date is ascribed to
julius, bishop of Rome.
The real year of Christs birth is fixed
by the moet careful investigation at
about . or A, b. c.
The name Christmas is derived from
an especial mass celebrated on that day.
While a knowledge of the exact date
of Christ's birth would be of great inter
est it is really ii matter of little conse-
quencc, for the day celebrated by the
Christian world is in commemoration Of
the life and work.-of the master and it
means much more than mere celebra-
ton Of his birthday anniversary. Aside
from his divinity the character of Jesus
is the most unique and interesting in
history and those who deny his divinity
are unable to explain in any satisfactory
manner why the humble carpenter of
Nazareth was able to utter teachings
and sermons that for centuries have
stood unaproached in moral philosophy
by any of the worlds great men.
The day is one for kindly thoughts
and deeds and will be most enjoyed by
those who lend aid and comfort to those
less fortunate than themselves.

Winter Greens and Vegetables For

If the spinach bed for winter green's
has not materialized. substitute
equally as good may be provided and
grown very easily. Select some Of the
overgrown beets too large and woody
for table use and set them in sand or
soil on the cellar bottom or other con-
venient place, where they can receive
sufficient heat to grow the tops rapid
ly. The hotbeds banked up with ma
nure sufficiently to turn the frost will
grow good crop. In this case manure
underneath the beets. and the sash
on top will be necessary. Lacking
these, the rhubarb or house cellar will
do. as they will grow equally we'll in
the dark. Turnips may also be grown
in the same manner. but growing in
the hotbed with exposure to the light
will be most generally satisfactory. as
when grown in the light they will re.
tain the naturally green color instead
Of the lemon color which is the result
Of growing in the dark.

THE COUNTY FINANCES.

Following its usual method of pervert
ing the facts where it hopes to gain some
Slight political advantage, the Inter Lake
of last week published the statement
that the net Indebtedness of the county
had increased over $4,000 during
the last year. As the official figures
give the lie to this statement the Inter
Lake was careful not to publish them.
Regardless of political lines the Bee
criticises every officer who is direlict or
eXtravagant IN the discharge of his
duties, and likewise it proposes to see
that every officer has full credit for the
faithful and conscientious performance
of his duties. In this case the county
commissioners need no defence except
the publication of the official figures.
The net Indebtedness of the county
on Dec. l, 1900, as given in the official
report was slO2,3l7.22, This does not
include the $4,000 in court house bonds
which were afterward destroyed. The
net Indebtedness of the county on
Dec. l, 1901, according to the official
report was slll,U3l.l7, and the difference
between these two sums is SS7l3.95
which is the net increase; but of this
increase s27OO was spent in purchasing
poor farm which is an asset belonging to
the county. Besides this the sum of
$4,000 was expended to preserve and
make the Flathead steel bridge safe,
sl2Sl23 was expended on account of
small pox and s4245.63 for the general
election. making total of s23,757.96 ex-
pended for extraordinary purposes dur
ing the year and without which the
net indebtedness of the county would
have been reduced by the sum Of
sl5O44Ol.

IRRIGATION NOTES,

Free Winter Irrigation For Decide
OuS Trees In the Arid Region.
In the warmer parts of the arid re-
Gion. where there are proper character
and sufficient depth Of soil to consti-
tute the great subsoil reservoir previ-
ously described. it is possible to insure
the deciduous tree all the moisture it
needs for months by free winter irriga-
ton which fills this reservoir just as a
heavy winter rainfall could do it.
There has been abundant evidence
ever since the beginning Of irrigation
by Americans in California that such
irrigation followed by good summer
cultivation will he effective If the soil
is rctentive enough. Recent expert
ment In Arizona has approved for that
region the teachings OF experience in
California. While the deciduous tree is
dormant large amounts Of water can
be safely applied on all except perhaps
heavy clay soils. and water may be
used ut a temperature which won. :.
certainly be too cold to use while the
Tree is in active growth. For winter
irrigation free application ut intervals
sufficiently long to allow deep pene
tra'lon OF the moisture Is necessary.

court business, by judicious management
the comfy commissioners have gradual
" reduced the tax levy for county pur-
poses from % mills in 1898 to 1876 mills
in 1901. reduction of about sc per cent.
in three years. If the Inter Lake can
get any political capital out of these
figures it is welcome to it.
In order to reduce the net indebted
ness of the county and thus secure the
silent approval of the Inter Lake the
five or six readers of that paper are left
to infer that the commissioners should
have allowed the small pox epidemic to
decimate the population of the county.
As matter of fact the people do not
begrudge the money spent in that di
rection. for the commissioners with the
able assistance of DR.. Macdonald
handled the small pox epidemic in a
manner that was not equaled by any
other county in the state. Likewise ac-
cording to the Inter Lake the commits
-oners should not have allowed any
such frivoIus thing as an election, and
the steel bridge should have been aban-
doned.
The people of F'lathead county are not
disposed to be niggardly in their affairs
and notwithstanding the misstatements
of the Inter Lake the record of the pres
ent board of commissioners will be call
ed a good one by the people who pay the
bills.

The Effect Of Droughts.

When drought destroys or reduces
crops. everybody pities the farmers on
the mistaken supposition that they are
the sole losers. AS matter of fact.
it is the rest OF the community that
suffer most from crop shortage. In
many cases the farmers gain rather
than lose in the high prices they get
for the crops which they do harvest.
The longest droughts rarely affect I'LL
crops disastrously. The recent drought
in the great corn belt did not affect
the wheat Mt all. except to insure it's
gathering In the best possible condi-
ton. The unprecedented wheat crop
will command ready sale at advanced
prices. because wheat must be substi-
tuted in q limited degree for corn. The
corn that comes to maturity will COM
mand q high price because Of its COM
parative scarcity. Hay. oats and pota-
toes will all be high in price-have, in
fact. already advanced far above the
average price Mt this season of the year.
The consumers pay these advances all
along the line. and the farmers profit
by them. There are few American
farmers in this day who stake their en-
tire years prosperity upon the corn
crop. The up to date farmer puts his
eggs in a good many baskets. The up
setting Of one of them doesn't leave
him without eggs to carry to market

be fed to the COW Uhc Stats are put on
wide enough 50 the COW can easily get
her nose between them; second. to
force the COW when standing to stand
with her hind feet in rear of the cross
bar across the stall floor. In construct
ing the feeding rack nail a ? by $ piece
OF scantling edgewise against the board
partition. This constitutes the bottom
Of the rack and should be placed about
thirty inches from the floor. Place the
top scantling about two feet from the
partition. This makes the feeding rack
eight inchev wide at the bottom and
two feet wide at the top. In the center
of the bottom scantling fasten a ring
screw to tie the halter to. FaSten the
cow with Il common web halter, she
wearing the headpiece all the time. The
halter end of the rope has a safety
snap to fasten into the ring of the hal
ter under the throat. 10 prevent the
COW from getting loose it is well to di-
vide the end of the rope into two
strands, each six inches long, and put Il
snap in each. fastening in both the ring
when tying the COW.
The grain and ensilage box is placed
on that side of the stall opposite to the
one the COW usually lies on. If she
lies on her left side, place the grain
box on the right side, as seen in the
engraving. This box Is large enough
to contain the ensilage and grain feed
and is reached by an opening in the
partition. 1t is best to have the feed
box slant down toward the cow, so
that all the feed will easily work down
to the end nearest her This box
should be long enough to extend from
the partition into the stall as far as
the upper part Of the feed rack pro-
jects and about 1S or 20 inches wide
and III inches deep. If placed sutii-
GENTLY slanting. the feed will easily
work down to the lower end next the
COW, so that she will not need to bring
her hind feet in on her bedding in Or
der to reach the contents of the box.

The SCHLEY CASE.

Upon sober second thought the Amer
lean people are consumed with indigna
ton at the outrageous travesty upon
justice that has been perpetrated in the
verdict against Admiral Schley. AZ the
browning act Of infamy Secretary Long
has approved the verdict Of the majority
of the court and has re fused to even
give Admiral Schlcy a hearing and has
ignored and refused to put in the record
the findings of Admiral Dewey The
fact that Admirals Dewey and Schley
are both known to hold democratic
views may or may not have anything to
do with the matter, but there are mil
lions of good republicans who condemn
the manner in which Admiral Schlev
has been prosecuted.
These two sturdy old sea dogs did not
belong to the government clique and for
them to win the only two battles Of the
Spanish war was presumption for which
they should be punished Sampson was
pushed to the front as Longs chief pet
and the silk stocking ring at Washington
are bound to stand by him. Sampson
,,;,,b+ b,yn ,,r,yoI b;,.olf "a, ,l>l,, ,,1,,
mander had chance favored him, but he
proved himself an arrant snob when he
refused to endorse Gunner Morgan for
promotion because Morgan had not had
the advantage of social training and his
course has been that of the coward and
poltroon in trying to blacken the char
acter of his brother officer, Schley.
Admiral Schley has been convicted of
Il felony punishable by death, for that is
the extreme penalty which the American
military law prescribes for one convicted
of vacillation dilatoriness and lack Of en-
terprise, and the drawing room fighters
of the department are taking great cred
it upon themselves for not insisting upon
the enforcement of the extreme penalty
against Schley.
They have succeeded in their minds
and in the records perhaps in branding
him as Il felon, but they have only en-
dearcd him all the more to the American
people.
General Miles was outspoken in de
nouncing the majority verdict, for which
he has been severely censured by the
president through the secretary of war.
This will come as Il surprise to most of
the presidents admirers, but it only il
Illustrates the power of the corrupt and
venal cable at Washington. Every dog
has his day, and that of Admiral Sch
leys is yet to come.

STABLING COWS.

For Dairy Cows.

A Clean, Comfortable and Safe Stall
For Dairy Cows.
To be efficient a COW stall must keep
the animal both comfortable and clean.
Experienced farmers and dairymen are
most of them quite fat with the
merits of the Hoard stall; yet, as it is
simple of construction and unpatented
many others may be interested in it.
An illustration and explanation of it.
originally given in Hoard's Dairyman,
are therefore here reproduced.
The excellence of this plan of tying
as follows:
First.-The COW las three and half
feet in width of stall and perfect libel'-
ty and comfort of position.
Secondly virtue of the bar across
the stall floor. which will be seen just
forward of the hind feet of the stand
ing COW. the animal has always a dry,
clean bed to lie in, thus keeping her as
clean from manure in winter as though
she We're in June pasture.
Thirdly this system each COW is
protected when lying down from hav-
ing her teats and udder stepped on by
her standing neighbor. This is one Of
the most productive sources Of injury
that is known and of itself should con-
denim the rigid stanchion.
The cut represents one row of cows
facing another row. A closely board
ed partition about four feet high forms
the front of the STALL Each COW has
three and half feet in width. The
floor is made tight, and there is no
drop in rear Of cows except the thick
ness of one plank. which is the double
floor of the stall. The feeding rack is
constructed for two purposes-first. to

Soil For the Hotbed.

The radishes. lettuce and early to-
matOes will need to be started long
before the frost is out Of the ground
next spring, and soil for the hotbeds
should be secured this fall \ con-
venient way is to pile the soil in q
large cone shaped heap. tirmed down
to avoid wasting by the rains or melt
ing snow: protect with litter or straw,
hold on with few boards. to avoid
too much freezing. aud then It will be
accessible at any time. Very satisfac-
tory results may be obtained in the

Witch Hazel In Agriculture.
Alphabetically the witch hazel plant
has no value. as it hardly grows large
enough for fuel. but makes a bushy
clump full Of branches. 1t is found
abundantly in bush pastures. and the
only good thing to be said about 1t is
that it acts as nurse plant for better
forest growth. to which it gives way.
Incidentally it has q great reputation.

TRAVELLING MAN SHOT.
win Haynes, OF Chicago, Probably
Fatally wounded by Roy Kaighn
at Salt Lake city.

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 27.-William
Haynes, travelling man from Chica-
go, was shot and probably fatally
wounded, yesterday by Roy Kaighn,
the 19-year-old son of Col, M. NJ.
Kaighn, who is prominent in law and
G. A. r. circles of this city. The shoot
ing occurred in the lobby of the
Knutsford hotel shortly after one
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
created panic among the guests and
employees of the hotel.
Young Kaighn was Immediately
placed under arrest, and the wounded
man conveyed to hospital. The sur
geons, after careful examination Of
the wound, said there was a slight
hope for recovery.
After firing the shot young Kaighn1
coolly lighted cigarette, sat down
and waited for the police to arrest
him. He refuses to give any reason
for the shooting.
Much mystery surrounds the whole
affair. Haynes, the wounded man..
acted as best man for Col. Kaighn at
the latter's wedding several months
ago, and it is thought that the trou-
BILE is associated in some way with
that event.
