President Roosevelt led his inaugu-

from the capitol to the White House.
No procession in recent years has been
as prompt in moving from one end of
the avenue to the other. The troops
marched in ideal weather, the sky be-

breeze blowing. The president lost no
time in formalities. He descended the
steps which were put in place in front
of the inaugural stand and took his

MONTANA COLLISION
PASSENGER And FREIGHT TRAINS
COME TOGETHER ON A CURVE.
Two Men Are Dead and Several Bad
Iy lnIured-Engineer on Freight
Read His Orders Wrong-Both En-
gines Left Track-occurred Near
Bearmouth.

Missoula, Mont. March 6.-Two men
are dead and six people injured as the
result of collision of freight and the
westbound Twin Cities express on the
Northern Pacific at Bearmouth, Sun
day afternoon, at 2:30. The express
was 30 minutes behind time, and the
freight had orders to wait at Bear
mouth siding. Mearmouth is rs miles
west Of Helena, and has an unenviable
reputation as the scene of holdups and
murders on the Northern Pacific.
Engineer Sheehan misunderstood
his orders. He had the impression that
the express was three hours and 30
minutes late. His orders read 80 min
utes late. He proceeded east. As the
freight rounded the curve east of Bear
mouth, scarcely out of the yards, 1t
crashed head on into the express. A
high bank shut off the view of both
engineers, and no attempt had been
made to slow down. Both engines
were thrown from the track and the
mail and express cars telescoped, but
the passenger coaches came to dead
stop and remained on the track
The Dead.
AS soon as the passengers could
reach the disabled end of the train 1t
was found that the following were
dead:
w. f. Wilcox of Helena, division
chief clerk Of the railway mail service,
on tour of inspection; instantly killed.
j. L. Bellin of Helena, fireman of
the express; crushed and mangled;
died when removed from wreck.
Joseph L. James, engineer of the
passenger, is cousin of Frank and |
Jesse James, notorious former outlaws.
Bellin came to Helena two years ago
from Minnesota.

We have lately denied that the

that instead of there being scarcity
Of labor, we have too many ignorant
laborers in the south and that we
would be better Of without the tenant
system that we have. OF course, if we
should remove the ignorant laborers
from the south it would greatly affect
the incomes of few men, who run big
farms operated by renters and tenants.

one man with a cultivator drawn by

trasting with the conditions here, Mr..

VIII We Ever Learnt

We southern people have never
learned how to stop the leaks. It is
said that northern family could al
most live on what a southern family
let's go to waste. We let our farming
implements take the weather greater
portions of the year and then buy new
cncs when needed. We run our bug
gies till the paint looks dim and then
let them go for q mere trifle in ex-
change for buggies that have new
paint on them. We neglect to terrace
our lands and allow the soil to wash
away during the summer freshets. We
do hundreds of other things that make
waste, but the most uncalled-for thing
of all is that we almost kill ourselves
to make a big crop of cotton, and keep
the children out of school to help us,
and then carry the cotton to gin, haul
it home in the bale and dump out in
the weather and let it rot, and then
carry it to market and try to sell it.
But we are learning slowly, and may
be we'll know better some time.-Pro-
gressive Farmer.

Sorghum is a wonderful plant to
produce a large quantity Of feed in a
short time. When the wheat has been
threshed, plow under stubble and plant
sorghum If cut when only half grown
it will make excellent feed for stock in
the winter.
Where rich bottom lands are in
cu,tivation and subject to be washed
by heavy rainfalls and freshets, they
can be largely protected by planting
basket willows The willows will form

stables for his ccw The COW was
stalled in one Of these and into the
otner he shoveled the manure each day.
Even Mr.. T. was surprised at the great
quantity of manure and its fine condi-
ton. Where he applied it this manure
made two bales of cotton per acre, and
the increase only more thau paid the

Mr.. T. will accept only 1900 pounds
