SOMETHING OF A WHEAT KING
Former Clerk at Small Salary Has
Made Million Tilling
Kansas Soil

"The wheat rentals Of John T. Stewart
of Sumner county, Kansas will amount
to nearly 900 bushels of wheat this
year." said NJ. L. Warner of Emporia,
Kansas, to an Inter Mountain reporter
al the Thornton this forenoon. "In his
home county he owns lis quarter Sec
tons in adjoining coupties. He rents
the lands on the basis of half the yield,
he furnishing all the seed and taking
chances Of securing crop.
1T is estimated that if all the wheat
due him on rentals this year was shipped
In one consignment it would require
seventeen freight trains of fifteen cars
each to take it to market. His rentals
IN wheat last year netted him $4,000. In
addition to owning about $500 worth
of land, every foot of it paid for, he has
nearly $500 worth of bank stock and
$500, 900 invested in farm lands in Sumner
county and Oklahoma.

Peace In the Party.

One of the ablest of the eastern repub-
ncan newspapers which is still acri-
moniously discussing a recent admins
trative appointment of no Importance
except to the appointee or the other ap-
plicants for the place, may not be in
dulging the hope that enough discord
can be credited in the republican ranks
to imperil party success in the next cleo
ton, yet that would be the construction
placed upon the work of the newspaper
In question by those not convinced of its
good intentions and past fidelity to the
party welfare. In defense of it's attitude
it charges the Inter Mountain with going
of on the silver issue some years ago
but we fail to see where that fact has
anything to do with the case. If there
has been division and defeat before, re-
publicans have learned by experience the
need of harmony as $ condition of future
success. They may, when united, carry
the next election, but if split into fac
items about few petty appointments,
victory would be beyond possibility. If
there are in the party those who for any
Scason, good, bad or Indifferent, are no
hanger desired by the rank and file, 1t is
the easiest thing in the world at the
caucuses, primaries and conventions to
lay them carefully. courteously and per-
manently on the shelf at the proper time
The destinies of all Office holders and
office seekers is in the hands of the peo-
pie. The time to reward or punish them
o. remove them from power or accord
them more power Is when the primaries
and conventions are held. not between
campaigns when nothing can be accom-

Montana's History in Her Mines.

The history of Montana is the history
of her mines. The rise and fall of her
miners hopes and aspirations has made
the page Of history applicable to and
that will hereafter be written OF this

Chief Engineer McHenry.

The resignation of Chief Engineer
NicHenry of the Northern Pacific rail-
road is likely to prove a real misfortune
10 that great corporation. 1t is GER
tainly a matter of genuine regret to the
people of Montana for he was their loyal
friend in all matters coming under his
supervision. 1t was McHenry who first
discovered the practicabilty of the
Eomestake pass route for the branch
from Logan to Butte. He surveyed and
built the road and it will ever stand as a
monument to his genius as an engineer
At that time he was very young man
with a reputation yet unmade, but the
'Bozeman cut off," as it was called
placed him in the front rank of railroad
builders and his advancement thence
forth was as rapid as it was deserved.
His resigna ton comes at a time when it
was generally supposed his next promo
tion would have been to the presidency
Of the road should Mr.. Mellen ever de-
eide to retire. The reasons for that
resignation are variously giyen-Mr.
McHenry himself has limited at some
trouble with Mr.. Hill who is a new force
in Northern Pacific affairs. Whatever
the cause, however, the people of Mon
tana will regret to note the change and
feel that they have lost a friend. They
have no apprehension, however, that Mr.
McHenrys public usefulness will be long
suspended. A brilliant future awaits
him in whatever railroad service he may
engage.

Montana Steamboats,.

Flathead county is the only one in the
state 50 far whose assessor has been
able to find any steamboats,. It also has
the distinction of having fewer sheep
than any other county in the state, and
it probably does business on as small an
amount of money as any county in the
United States, according to the returns
made othe assessor. 1t scarcely seems
creditable that on the first of March

a little excitement in an otherwise lls--

spectators from growing weary, Pop
Hardie began putting the players out OF
the game whenever they displayed ten
dency to question his decisions. Mohler
was the first to suffer, being put out the
first time he went to the bat. Hemphtu
and Dougherty were handed the same
kind of a package soon after for no ap-
parent reason. In Dougherty's case
Hardie's action was entirely unwarrant-
ed. The big right fielder was clearly safe
on first. Not hearing the decision he held
his base and when called out was re-
moved from the game, simply because ne

put out of the game for the too strenuous
methods they employed. Bert Oliver made
an ideal referee in the first half. He kept
the spectators informed as to the number
of draws" and the number of yards gain
required each time.
Traegar, the hero of the last intercol-
legiate game attempted a field goal. His
aim was true, the ball sailing through the
air in a straight line toward the center
of the space between the goal posts.
There was hardly sufficient strength be-
hind the kick which, coupled with the
wind being against the ball made it fall
short. 1t finally rested on Reliance ten
yard line, from which it was punted by
Rodolph.

ALIFORNIA won the football

IL eleven yesterday at Berkeley by
~ a score of to 0. The game was
hard fought from beginning to
end and furnished several incidents that
set the rooters wildly cheering
when Overall tried to place a kick for
goal and succeeded, and when Mini made
his remarkable end runs for California.
The weather was warm. Both halves
were short, the first twenty minutes and
the second fifteen minutes. Throughout
both the ball was in Olympics territory
most OF the time, and in the first half
practically all the time. The college elev-

however. at critical moments and it's
playing throughout was uncertain. Con-
centration of effort was lacking when
most needed. Ehe clubmen put UP a hard
game, but several times failed to make
necessary gains against their opponents
Mini the college left half, seldom failed
to work his distance. Two sensational
runs are credited to him. In the first half
he raced down the field for thirty-six
yards. and in the second half for forty
one yards. Cannon played well for the
clubmen. and Cutter at full did good
punting.
Cadwalader kicked off thirty-eight yards
for Olympic. The ball was caught and

SAILS UNBENT
ON SHAMROCK

NEW YORK, Oct 5.-The Shamrock II,
in tow Of the tug James Lawrence, left
her mooring buoy in Sandy Hook Bay at
11:15 this morning bound for the Erie
Basin, where she arrived at noon. The
tug then went back for the tender Porto
Rico and towed her to the same place.
The yachts mainsaiI was unbent and she
will probably be dismantled at once.
After Sir Thomas Upton, accompanied
by Mr.. Jameson and Mr.. Watson. had
paid farewell visit to Colonel Burbank
and his family at the military post on
Sandy Hook, the Ern's anchor was hove
up and that yacht steamed direct to New
York. She was saluted by all the outgo-
ing steamships on her way up the harbor
and anchored off the foot of West Thirty
fourth street at 3 D. m.
When asked If 1t were true that he was
willing to put the captain and crew of
the Shamrock on board the Columbia and
allow that yachts crew to handle the
Shamrock in a series of races, Sir Thomas
said:
II would be willing to do it If it is in
the interest of sport and provided, of
course, the other side is willing
There will be-, however. no such race
Monday next, as both the yachts be-
ing stripped and could not be put In trim
again for weeks. Secretary Oddie of the
New York Yacht Club said that such "a
race might create bad feeling. especially
If the Shamrock should win. Commodore
Name SdlQ the lQed was pTepOSCerOuS.
Speaking of his future plans Sir Thom-
as said he was undecided as yet about
his coming engagements, but that he
would go direct to the Waldorf Astoria
Monday and that Tuesday evening he
would attend dinner at the New York
Yacht Club. He will probably visit Chi
cago about week hence The date is
not yet fixed.
DR.. F. Reid Mackay of the Erin said
there was every reason to believe that
| the Shamrock will be laid up in New
York this winter and that in the spring
or next summer she will be raced against
the Columbia, Constitution or any other
ninety-footer. For" said he, I'VE be-
! lieve that she is actually a faster boat
