Also tests demonstrating the proper

In his general remarks in the al
ternon. Mr.. Elliott congratulated the
farmers on the prospects of dairy
plant, the successful operation OF which
depended largely upon themselves.
The great trouble, he said. was to get
the farmers to milk. He said there
was money in the business II given
stduy and close attention. He gave
the result of experimental work at the
Bozeman station, showing profitable
results.
The address of Prof. w. W. Wylie,
who came here in the place OF George
r. Featherly, on alfalfa Growing and
Feeding" was listened to attentively
and proved a most interesting theme,
many questions being asked and all
swered during the course of his re.
marks. Mr.. Wyles experience and
experimentation have been confined
to the Gallatin valley, yet he thinks
all the conditions for the growing Of
alfalfa are just as good in Fergus
county. The subject of clover growing
was also dwelt upon by Mr.. Wylie.
He placed high value on clover as an
enricher and remover Of the soil, stat
ing that it was fast taking the place
of summer following Ia the Gallatin
valley. But clover thrived best in
the lower lands and required plenty
of water for a good growth.
Mr.. Wylie had great faith in the
future Of Montana as a fruit. state,
some farmers in the Gallatin valley
now raising apples for commerce. MIR.
WyIie read an address prepared by
himself for another occasion in which
he extoled country life and the coun-
try home. He deplored the tendency
of young men to seek life in the large
towns and cities with all Of the strife
and evil tendencies that invariably
must surround them. He believed
there was more comfort, health and
happiness In the country. The paper
was an able one, beautiful in diction
as we'll as sentiment and at it's close
MIR. Wylie was given hearty applause

The people of the Milk River val
ley are looking cheerful these DAYS.
A telegram has been received in Hav.
re from Senator Carter stating that
81 ,OOO, 900 had been set aside for the
St. Marys-Milk River irrigation pro.
ject and it is thought that dirt will
fly at an early date. The order set
ting aside the 100000 states that
the money is to be used "for the con
struction of storage works on the St.
Mary's river, Montana, and for the
diversion of the stored waters to the
head of Milk River, that state" The
st. Mary's-Milk River project, it is
estimated, will provide for the irriga
ton of 522 1000 acres of land, of which
4o2 900 acres would be irrigated from
canals or streams other than Milk
river. The cost of retaining the lane
that will be irrigable from the sys
tenn will be not to exceed $50 per acre
and the owners Of irrigated lands viii
be allowed ten years in which to pa!
the cost, while the annual charge fo
maintenance will not exceed $3.50 PEE
acre.. AS the cost of the canal is es
timated at about $lO,OOO,OOO, it will
be some years before it is completed
owing to the delay in securing thu
money rather than to engineering dif
ficulties, so many other irrigation en-
terprises making demands on the gov
eminent at the same time. However
a commencement of work will be en-
couraging, as showing what is eventr
ally to be accomplished.

PROMISING ASPIRANT FOR HEAVYWEIGHT
CHAMPIONSHIP is YOUNG AL KAUFMAN

In AL Kaufman San Francisco has
a young sapling who before long is
liable to be the heavyweight cham
pion of the world. Less than 20
years of age, he has made a phe.
nomenal showing and in all of the
contests in which he has engaged
has put his men away for the count
in one round. Science he has in
plenty, and punch that is as hard
and sure as the proverbial mule.
1t is to the mat every time he lands.
and while he has stacked up against
some very clever people he has al
ways succeeded in landing, that,
too, in the one round. He has all
the earmarks of champion and as
yet has never been extended. What
he can do under fire is a mooted
question. That's the question which
at the present day is troubling all
OF the fight fans. Will he go the
route and can he stand the gaff
linus lar ne mas done all that he
has been called to do and has done
1t in handy fashion.
In his initial tryout as a profess
Bional he sent his opponent, Harry
Foley, a shift light heavyweight,
into dreamland in the one round. 1t
was only one punch, but was a cork
er. and the same one which has
been employed in previous contests.
Kaufman has been in the game a
little less than year and the fight
OF a few days ago was his first ap-
pearance as a professional. Wheth-
CT he will fight again soon will be
on the advice of his father and the
veteran trainer and conditioner.

Billy Delaney, who has two worlds
champions to his credit, and who.
after the retirement of Jeffries and
seeing Kaufman work. came to the
conclusion that there was cham.
pionship material in the lad, and
that he was the one person in the
world who was entitled to step into
Jeffries' shoes.
Kaufman was surprised when he
was approached by Delaney and
told that he could become a cham.
pion. He is modest young fellow
and has none of the appearance of
a prize fighter. AS a lad he has
always taken an interest in athletic
sports, but simply for the pleasure
and exercise there is in it.
After completing his school edu-
cation he apprenticed himself to a
local blacksmith with an idea of
learning the trade. A few years
ago he Joined the Olympic Athletic
club, perhaps the most famous ath-
letic club in the United States, and
the exercise Of swinging a hammer
during the day spent over the forge
and the use of the other apparatus
in the gymnasium has developed
the wonderful physique with which
he was endowed by nature.
Shortly after he became a mem.
Der of the club he donned the mits
one day and surprised his instruc.
tor by almost putting him out in
the first round. The instructor saw
that there was a subject to be de
veloped and advised Kaufman tc
take up the boxing game. When
