CROPS SUFFER IN GALLATIN.
Hot, Dry Winds Doing Considerable
Damaoe-

Bozeman, June led Gooch. a
wealthy farmer of the southeastern
part of the Gallatin valley, who was
in the city today, said the crops in
his section were burning up, clover es-
pecially. The hot, dry winds of the
past few days have dried the earth I'M
in an alarming manner, two DAYS al
winds equaling two weeks of sun
shine. Mr.. Gooch says the ground is
SO dry in places that nothing will grow
unless irrigated or heavy rains come.
Irrigation does not generally begin
until July, but in his section it will
be at least two weeks earlier this
year. While the crops in the northern
part of the valley are doing well, rain
is needed to insure good crops. It
was generally supposed the rains of
weeks ago had moistened the
ground to the depth of several inches.
but where it failed to snow is where
it is getting so dry.

PUBLICITY
The Presidents Views on the Pres
ent Coal Strike.

Washington, June 12.-President
Roosevelt said to one of his callers to-
day that this coal strike offers the
best of arguments in favor of his plan
OF controlling the trusts through a
law securing publicity. If the federal
government had the right and the pow.
er to go to the Offices of the railway
companies which dominate the an
thracite business and overhaul their
books for the purpose of ascertaining
just what their business methods and
profits are, the country would have
the best possible means of bringing
pressure to bear in favor of just treat
ment of employees. 1t is not to be pre-
sumed that a corporation which knew
It's books We're open to the public
would attempt to extort unreasonable
profits from consumers through a mo-
nopoly or combination, nor that it
would deal harshly and arraogantly
with it's workmen.
In the opinion of the president his
remedy of publicity, the right to ex-
anime the books of corporations n
gagged in Interstate trade precisely as
the government now examines the af-
fairs of national banks, would be an
effective n against many of the
abuses which are known to exist. It
is the intention of President Roose-
welt to continue calling the attention
of congress and the country to his pro-
posed reform.

DISCOVERED IN OLD TUNNEL.
Returns Show Abundance of Free
Gold.


Twin Bridges, June IA strike
was made at Silver Star last week
which has set all the old prospectors
wild. Mr.. Rood. while exploring an
old tunnel, discovered ore in the bot
tom Of it which had been overlooked.
Digging about 10 inches and cleaning
off the dirt, he attempted to break off
a piece of the ore for examination.
He broke it off, but when he tried to
pick it out he found it held fast by
shreds of gold.
Mr.. Rood Immediately picked out a
sack of the richest ore, pounded it out
in a mortar, washed it and brought it
to town and offered it to Mr.. White
for $500. Not having the ready cash
with him, Mr.. White offered to send it
to Helena to have it retorted. The
returns have just come in. From 100
pounds of rock he received $1,O14. He
now has a carload of ore, every piece
of which shows. an abundance of
coarse, free gold.

Butte, June 12.-Lennox and Martin
the two men accused of the murder
Of Fireman Williams at Silver Bow
Junction on the night of May 70, will
have until Monday in which to de-
eide what their plea will be.
Yesterday morning was the time
set for the defendants to plead in de-
partmet 8 of the district court, but
each expressed a desire to have a lit
tie more time to think the matter
over Attorney Thomas Martin, who
appeared for Martin, said his client
was not quite prepared to go on rec
ord at this stage of the proceedings.
Judge McClernan agreed to extend the
time, with the understanding that the
case should be set Monday for trial.
1T is possible we will want to take
a couple of dispositions and may ask
to have the case set as far ahead as
the court conviently can," observed
Mr.. Martin
THE court wants the case to be
tried at this term, but will give Martin
until Monday in which to enter his
plea" replied the judge.
Lennox was not ready to plead
either. It is understood that he pre-
fers to be tried after Martin. His re-
quest for an extension of time
in which to plead was also granted.

charge Of having broken into q Japan

raigned before Judge Fraser yester-
day afternoon.
Two witnesses appeared against
them, but because of their inability
to talk English it was impossible to
get enough testimony to warrant hold
ing the accused. The witnesses were
Japs and attempted to tell their stor-
les through an interpreter, but the
functionary's knowledge Of the
language proved only little better and
after trying every conceivable man
ner to obtain an Ineligible account
OF the affair both the court and prose
cutting attorney were compelled to
give up the task as one beyond their
power of accomplishment. 4
The prisoners were discharged from
custody with the admonition to get
of the county as soon as possible,
as their appearance indicated them
to be of a class usually c~atalogued as
undesirable.

Mavericks Preparing for Reception O
Visiting Firemen. ID

The fire department., which, as ev-
erybody knows, is the Maverick Hose
company, will give the visiting firemen
at the annual meeting Of the state as
ISOLATION the time of their lives. AL
though the convention does not meet
until next September, the Mavericks
are already preparing for the event.
They met last night and appointed
several committees, all in connection
with their proposed entertainment of
the visitors. One committee will have
charge of the matter of arranging a
programme for the amusement of the
guests; another will look after their
accommodations, while to the remain
ing two are entrusted the matters of
selecting furniture for the new quar-
tiers of the company and suggesting
a uniform.
Although the last two named COM
mittees can hardly be said to have
any connection with the others. still
their appointment is only a part of
the general scheme. It is believed
that by the time the convention meets
the new fire hall will have been COM
pletted and it is desired that it shall
be properly furnished and equipped,

who are expected to be here. The idea

Flag Day Allowed to Pass Without
Notice.

Flag Day Allowed to Pass without
Notice.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The fact that this is Flag day seems
to have been overlooked by the busy
people Of Billings. Nowhere was the
nations emblem to be seen, although
in other places the stars and stripes
are usually displayed from almost ev-
cry private and publicc building.
The day takes It's names and is OBJ
served because it marks the annivers-
airy of the joint resolution of congress
defining and adopting the form Of the
national emblem. This occurred 1875
years ago today, the act being passed
June IA, 1877. The resolution pro-
vided that "the flag Of the Is United
States be 10 stripes, alternate red and
white: that the union be Is stars
white in a blue field, representing/a
new constellation"
In accordance with this resolution
General Washington engaged Mfs.
John Ross Of Philadelphia, better
known in history as Betsy Ross, to
make the first flag. The suggestion
of the general that Mistress Betsy
make the stars six-pointed did not
meet with favor from the lady, and
she was permitted to employ a five
pointed device, upon her showing how
much handsomer the latter was. On
the flag made y her the stars were
arranged in a circle on the field, and
this form prevailed until 1895, when
present form was adopted.
1t is believed that the first time
he new flag was formally displayed
by the Continental army was during
the siege of Fort Stanwix, in August,

For obtaining the insignificant sum
of S. in an unlawful manner Ira l.,
Buckley is as good as in the peniten-
tiary already, although he has not yet
undergone the formality of a trial.
Buckley was serving a short sen
tence in the Jail for disturbing the
peace and while there became ac-
quainted with Jack Baker. The lat
ter told him that upon his release he
expected to obtain some money, as
his wife would send him a postofice
money order. Buckley got out first
and taking advantage of the informa-
ton he had gained went to the post
office and under pretense of being
Baker obtained the money. Shortly
afterward Postmaster Babcock became
suspicious that he had been 'jobbed"
and informed the police, who arrested
Buckley. He was found in a drunken
condition, having spent the money for
whiskey.
Yesterday afternoon he was arraign-
ed before Judge Fraser on the charge
of forgery, he having signed Bakers
name to the money order. He &C.
knowledged his guilt and said he was
prepared to receive sentence then and
there. TIL offense being a felony the
court did not have final jurisdiction
and Buckley was informed that his
plea could not be accepted. He then
waived examination and in default of
$3.50 bonds was committed to await
the action of the district court.
Captain Perkins, postofice inspec-
tor, was present at the examination
and to guard against any possibility
of Buckeyes escape on the state
charge filed a complaint against him
with Mr.. Fraser as United States
commissioner charging Buckley with
opening mail addressed to another.

YELLOWSTONE COUNTY FAIR AZ.
ISOLATION TO REoRcANlzE
DESIRE IS FOR new LIFE
Debts Of Present Organization Will
Be Settled and Another
Formed,

Fr(m Saturdays Daily Gazette.
Fhe Yellowstone County Fair asso.
citation is to be reorganized and new
life and vitality are to be infused into
the organization.
This decision was arrived at at last
nights meeting.
The report of the committee an
pointed at the preceding meeting
showed that while the business men
and others of the city generally ia
vored a continuance of the annual
exhibitions by the association a feel
ing seemed to exist that matters
would be improved by a general re-
organization and starting anew. Dis
cussion of the report developed a sim
liar feeling among the majority of
those present. Ways and means were
discussed and many suggestions Of
fered. It vas finally decided to wind
up the affairs of the present organiza-
ton and then allow it, to lapse, to be
replaced by the new.
The secretary's books showed the
association to be indebted to different
parties to the amount of about 81, 900.
To meet this Indebtedness a sub
%scription list was opened and from the
success. which followed the initial
move in the direction of wiping the
slate clean little doubt exists as to
the ultimate outcome. Four gentle
men present subscribed between them
$500 as their contribution to the
amount required.
Another list, for subscriptions to a
premium fund, was also started and
met with a liberal response. 1t is
proposed to raise no less than 81, 900
for premiums to be paid to exhibitors.
1t having been definitely decided to
reorganize, a committee was appoint
ed to canvass the city and obtain sub
to stock in the new asso-
citation. This committee consists of
W. B George, c. M. Bair, Chris Yegen,
Z. H. Fenske, Phil Grein, G. F. Ben
nighoff and P. B. Moss. At the con-
of it's labo~s another meeting
be called, when the committee
will make its report and the old or
g%anization will probably formally dis
band and give way to the new.
