THE COWBOYS JoYoUS4FE.
His HapDiest Moment When Train
load of Tcnderfeet is in Town.

There is joy in the hearts of the cow
boys who are gathered for the winter in
the little COW towns along the line of the
Great Northern railway in northern Mon
tana. The railway company has an
nounced its Indignation at the actions of
the boys and they are gleeful dA conse
quence. To stir up the wrath ofWY great
railway corporation is luxury not often
given to the boys who punch cows.
The management of the railway takes
exception to the habit the boys have
formed of letting off revolvers with APP
parent recklessness during the passage
of passenger trains through the town. 1t
is an amusement dear to the soul of the
cowboy. Just now he has more money
than he has at any other time of the
year, and also has more ammunition.
The presence of a passenger train Mt the
station, with its load of curious fOutland
ers, moves him to show off hisAadneSs.

gers TO fragile. But Mr.. Hill says this
IS reprehensble, and must stop. Win
it stop? Well.
After all, the boys do not do any great
amount of damage. They enjoy their in
nocent little amusement of shooting holes
IN the sky and trying to impress the ten
derteet passengers. The boys have SIM
ply carried INTO MANHOOD that very
human Juvenile desire to shaw off. and
when they let out fusilade of shots and
series of yells calculated to straighten
ont the kinks III a sleeping car porter's
hair they are only trying to put some
| color and romance into their very unro-
mantle and practical lives. The only
harm is to the nerves of the passengers,
but just think what lot the experience
gives the passengers to write about!
What lurid letters can they send home
of their adventures in the wild and
woolly. What delicious thrills of ex-
element and terror can be felt in those
few moments mt the cow town depot!
Why. it's slice of real life drama, bet
ter than Il bushel of Hamlin Garland's
stories. 1t is an open question whether
the passengers secretly do not like the
thing, for all the protests they NAV make
to the railway people. But it will be
interesting to observe the attempts to
stop the cowboys.-Anaconda Standard.

Early Spring Gowns.

The most noticeable feature of the adj
vance style gowns for early spring wear
is the seTpentine skirt, with its scant
lines and clinging effect smartly accentu-

the bottom. or a. succession of narrow
flounces laid on at the foot.

RIGHT or WAY
COMPLETE TO GAP.
A. j. Splawn and CO-workers Say
1t Is Up to People of
Mckee Valley.

Mr.. Splawn when seen by THE HER
AID reporter last week had the follow
ing to say in regard to the Sunnyside
railway project:
"The right of way for the electric
railroad is coming our way nicely and /
wish TO say that the public spirit shown
by the people of Parker Bottom is GER
ta:nly creditable to them and one which
the other communities should exempli-
fly. Those people have given us eight
miles OF free right of way, which practi-
cally clears everything up to the Mckee
valley. We have not yet canvassed
that section, but expect to find the pee
pie equally as enthusiastic and public
spirited as those of Parker Bottom.
81 have this to say to the people of
Ahtanum and Natchez; if they will
grant free right of way through the val
leys, surveyors will at once be put in
the field to locate the line for the road.
1t simply depends upon the people of
those two valleys. Ii they want rail-
way they can have it.
81 think that this electric railway
system will be the greatest enterprise
this part OF the country can ever hope
to realize and l hope every one will
place their shoulders to the wheel and
let us have it,
Mr.. Spawn called meeting of the
prominent property holders of the All
tanum Saturday afternoon at the, Bar
tholet hotel. A committee was assigned
the duty OF canvassing the whole valley
and reporting on next Saturday the
progress made with the people OF the
valley in regard to the free right of way.
Reports from the Natchez so far are
very favorable and tits the consensus of
opinion among most all OF the interest.

THE MERRY BANDIT.

The Chicago Record-IIerald sets the
Washington bandit hunt to rhyme thus !:
The airy, merry bandit lightly skips along the
way,
Shooting deputies for practice, making or
phans every day;
A hundred men with rifles aim their weapons
at his head.
But he laughs and goes uninjured leaving
half of them lie dead.
The bandit grabs off clothes lines and binds
men and women fast,
And he helps himself to good things in the
pantries while they last;
with his left hand he holds farm hands up to
shield HIM from the spite
OF the eager anxious posses he is shooting
with his right.
on, the daring. dashing bandit waves his
arms and others fly,
Or he points his rifle at them and they
fall right down and die!
He gallops DER the hillocbs and he loiters in
the shade
Any fool can be a bandit when the rest are
all afraid.

Week ending July IA, 1902.
The week was one OF abundant sun
shine, with warm days, cool nights, and
entirely without rain. Seldom if ever
has there been better week in all re-
spects for the agriculturists of this state.
The abundant sunshine and light to
fresh winds made ideal haying weather,
which was taken advantage of by every
farmer that had hay to cut. The yield
is from average to somewhat above, and
that secured during the past week was
saved in fine condition Some wheat
hay is now being cut in the eastern
counties.
Vegetables OF all kinds have grown
luxuriantly during the past week. All
reports in regard to potatoes are exceed
ingly favorable. Oats and spring wheat
have made great improvement. Early
spring wheat is headed and late spring
wheat is in the boot. 1t is all very
thrifty. There have been no burning
winds during the past two weeks. Fall
wheat is in the dough and ripening
