GIVEN TO JURY.
Trial of "Jim" Grady at Big Timber
Nearing an End.

Big Timber, Jan. .-(Special.)-
Contrary to expectations, the defense
in the case of Jim" Grady, on trial
here for being implicated in the Owl
saloon robbery at Billings last July,
which resulted in the murder of Po-
lice Sergeant Hannah, did not intro
duce any testimony, the attorneys for
the defendant believing that they
could make out better case for their
client on the testimony introduced by
the prosecution than through any wit
nesses they could put on the stand to
prove the innocence of the accused.
After lengthy arguments by the at
torneys representing both sides of the
case the jury retired at 10 o'clock last
night, Until noon today not word
has come from the jury room indlca:'
ing prospect for verdict.

STORM AT NEW YORK.
He7vy Snow Hampers Traffic in the
MetropoiS,


New York, Jan. Anew York city
and all the surrounding country today
was in the grasp of the most severe
storm of the winter. Traffic of all
kinds was hampered, trolley lines
were tied up and the streets swept
by a gale, driving before it fine snow
that cut like sand and piled in great
drifts, were practically impossible.
Railroad trains from all points were
delayed from a few minutes to three
hours, and the elevated lines were
operated with the gratest difficulty,
without regard to schedule. At sea
the conditions were severe.
All over the city early today trolley
cars were found blocked in the
streets. In many of the cars were
snowbound passengers who had re-
manned in the cars all night rather
than face the blizzard in an attempt
to walk to their homes. Because OF
the severity of the storm, policemen
were sent out during the early morning
hours to rescue persons who had fall
len in the snow. '.'he doors of every
station house were thrown open 70
the homeless and unfortunate. The
city lodging house was crowdeG by
men, women and children, and not an
applicant was turned away from Belle
vue hospital.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION MOVE.
MENT SOCIOLOGICAL FACTOR.
EFFECT is FAR REACHING
Works Now Being Pushed Forward by
Government Will Educate FAR
mers of East.

Among those who addressed the
meeting of the American Association
for the Advancement OF Science,
which convened at Philadelphia last
week was a gentleman we'll known
personally to many resident OF Bill
ings, and by reputation to every one,
Guy F. Mitchell, the energetic and
hard working secretary of the Ma
tional Irrigation association. Mr..
Mitchell is probably the most extern
sive writer on irrigation and public
land subjects in the country and his
contributions appear in nearly all or
the leading newspapers of the east.
To his work in that respect it is ad-
mitted not little is due as regards
the change of opinion on national irri-
cation which has occurred in the east
during the last few years.
In his address Mr.. Mitchell dis
cussed some of the sociological fac
tors in the national irrigation move
ment, in fact, he made that his theme.
mo question before the public today,
declared he, presents more interest
| ing sociological phases than does the
national irrigation question In Amer
| lea, not only through the great num-
ber of homes created by artificially
watering desert wastes, but through
the far reaching effect of the working
cut of a great government irrigation
policy and the general education OF
| the American people on the advantage
of this practice both west and east
The social side OF irrigation can be
described in a single clause-irriga.
tion subdivides and resubdivides land
into small home tracts.
Irrigation communities average the
smallest farms in the world. The
west contains thousands of five and
1O-acre farms, from which men are
making comfortable livings. The So
cial conditions of some OF the most
intensely irrigated tracts are, per-
haps, the most nearly perfect OF those
of any communities in the world.
Education TO Eastern Farmers.
Now the effect of the great govern
ment works, which are being pushed
rapidly forward, will be to create a
wes,ern empire of new homes and at
| the same time to incidentally thor
oughly educate the people of the en-
tire country On the subject of irriga-
ton. The consequence will be That
irrigation practices will finally en-
thrall the eastern farmer. The facts
as they exist in European countries
show that irrigation can be practiced
with great profit on land which has
sufficient rainfall to grow paying
crops. Irrigation is crop insurer;
besides guaranteeing double yields,
and when it is applied to eastern farm
lands the result will be to divide them
into smaller and better titled tracts.
Along with the prosecution of the
government irrigation policy and it's
great agricultural education will then
come the establishment of rural colo
MES throughout the entire country and
vastly improved agricultural and
social condition

MIR. BuRpANK's LATEST MIRACLE.

The spincless cactus. the latest plant

badly gives greater promise OF useful

Burbank's creations. The spineless cactus
is an improved variety OF the ordinary
wild cactus known as the prickly pear.
of which there are numerous species and

nutritious as alfalfa, which has been
pronounced by the United States depart
ment of Agriculture to be probably the
best all around of known forage plants
But, acre for acre. the yield of spinclcss
cactus will be far greater than the yield
of alfalfa. An agricultural expert OF
national reputation asserts that spine-

q Dollar Advance on Good
Beef Cattle.

Chicago. April l3.-Pr'ccs of beef have
advanced in every important market Of
the United States. The consumer is vay-
ing the advance price, which to hin,
represents 4c per pound over what no

armour e. Nelson Morris state that no
beef has been supplied to tn. retail
markets Of Chicago or TO any other mar
kct Of the country during the last month
and a half except at a loss. This. 1t is
declared has been partially due TO the
fact that the breeders OF stock and the
handlers OF range cattle have been hold
ing back on supply until the grass of
the range becomes nourishng.
Swift & Co. speaking for the packing
interests to-day, issued this statement:
During the last six weeks the pro-
Queer Of beef cattle has been receiving
about a dollar advance over past prices
for choice cattle. This simply means
that the advance to the consumer in
