last evening for the purpose OF being
initiated into Aldemar commandery,

the preliminary work last night and to-
night will receive the remaining hon
ors that will entitle them to be
dubbed "Sir Knights" At the con-
clusion of the ceremonies a banquet
will follow.
Because of the information they re-
ceived that the schools OF the city
did not intend to observe Pioneer day
the Yellowstone division of the Pho
neers of Eastern Montana have aban-
doned their intention of attending
the schools today in a body. They are
now planning to join with the old
settlers of northern Wyoming in a
visit to the Custer battlefield some
time this fall. BY joining forces it
is believed that the Burlington ccm-
tpany may be induced to run Xcur-
sion trains to the field on the day
that is to be selected.
Among the visitors in the city is
the Honorable j. r. Mckay, former
state senator from Custer county. Mr..
Mckay has the distinction of being
one of the "incorruptible four" who
during the senatorial election preced-
ing the last withstood democratic
Establishments and money and per-
%sistently refused to vote for the car
didate of that party. By doing so
they returned to their respective
homes with considerable less wealth
than those of their party who were
not endowed with the same high
sense of honor, and loyalty to those
to whom they owed their election,
but regarded with a great deal more
respect and honor. Mr.. McKay's Wis

The republican caucuses throughout

citizens from the path of duty or induce
them to join in a general onslaught
against their neighbors. The influence

They believe in clean politics as they dc

It is no sufficient excuse for mid

action was brought in Clark county to
collect the forfeiture imposed by chap

substance that any assessor or member

Der of such board to fix the assessment
Of taxable property in his district at
more or less than the true value thereof
or shall Intentionally omit or agree with
another member of such board to omit
such property from assessment, shall
forfeit to the state not less than $50 nor
more than $3.50. In the case mentioned
the defendant was charged, in coniunc.
tion with other members of the board of
review of his district, with intentional
omission from assessment Of certain tax
able personal property in the district.
The questions Irrigated in the case were
whether violation of the statute was
sufficiently stated in the complaint and
whether the statute imposing the penal
ty mentioned is valid enactment. The
supreme court decides both questions
against the defendant, affirming the
Judgment rendered against him in the

Crops For tho Orchard

When the orchard is young and the
soil is rich it will generally pay to
grow either corn or vegetables for the
years during which\ the trees are
reaching the stage of fruit bearing.
Corn is one of the best crops to grow,
for the reason that much Of it's sub
stance is made up Of starch, which is
taken from the air. Then it requires
cultivation and is generally manured,
especially when it is grown in a small
way. 1t does not form a mat to keep
the moisture from the roots Of the
trees. 1t has the additional good
quality Of being largely grown. and,
no matter how large the orchard. the
corn crop can always be used to aG-
vantage. Then the stalks of the corn
plant are serviccable for binding
around the trees for protection
against rodents and sunscald. In the
case of growing corn the rows should
not be run too close to the trees. as
1t is undesirable to draw the fertility
from Immediately around the trees.
and il is also undesirable to cult
rate close. In this day of low head
ing or fruit trees il will be difficult
to drive very close to the trees with.
out injuring tile low dropping
branches.
Potatoes and tomatoes are two
classes OF vegetables that may be
grown in the orchard to advantage,
as both require to be clean cult
waited, and usually receive good appli-
cations Of manure in some form.
Frequently the growing OF these
crops pays MI the expenses of
keeping UP the orchard. and when the
latter comes into bearing it starts in
without being Il debtor to the man
that owns it. Nothing however.

Corn Fodder.

Corn is the greatest of all fattcning
