ANECDOTE OF
COW BOY ARTIST

Louis Kaufman probably knows G.
M. Russell, the artist, better than
any one in town. For a number of
years Russell was in Mr.. Kaufman's
employ as COW puncher, and it was
through Mr.. Kaufman that Russell's
genius was recognized. Mr.. Kaufman
was the recipient of the first picture
of Russell's that became known all
over the country. Mr.. Kaufman had
written inquiring how the cattle were
wintering. This was in 1867. Rus
sell answered. 1t was merely that
famous picture of the ''cow brute.n
entitled waiting for Chinook"
Recently Mr.. Kaufman told a story
illustrating Russell's Independence,
says the Helena Independent. One
day he came to Mr.. Kaufman and said
he was going to quit. Mr.. Kaufman
asked him why and tried to persuade
him to stay. 1t was no use.
Too much civilization" said Rus
sell. "I'm going further north"
An English lord came along. Came
to hunt big game, you know. He
wanted a guide and some one to ac-
company him. He hired Russell.
The pack outfit was collected and the
two struck out.
"hen camp was made for the night
Russell hobbled the horses made tho

DRILLED WELLS
FOR ASSINNlBOINE.

From time to time in the past has
the rumor been floating around that
the water supply at Fort Assinniboine
was failing, and it has even been re-
ported that the Government contem
plated abandoning the post. There
is, of course, no foundation for the
last, but considerable difficulty has
been experienced at the Post during
the last three dry years in the auan.
tity and quality of the water supply
This shortage has not been confined
to the Post alone, but has been felt in
all parts of this section of North
Montana, and conditions are such that
some means must be devised to over
come the shortage.
Shortly after the completion of the
Havre water system, letter was pre-
pared and signed by a number of
business men of the city, outlining
the system and suggesting similar
system for Fort Assinniboine. This
letter was sent to Sen. w. A. Clark,
who Immediately took the matter up
with G. E. Humphrey, quartermaster
general, with the result that the de-
partment Immediately got busy and
the feasibility of the proposed system
is to be thoroughly investigated and
determined. The following is the
correspondence relative to the above,
and is self-explanatory:
Washington, D. c., Feb. 26, 1906.
Hon. L. Newman, Mayor,
Havre, Mcnt.
Dear Sir:-Referring to the recent
petition signed by yourself and others,
L enclose herein a letter from the
Quartermaster General. You will see
by the letter that the Government is
going to endeavor to test the question
of obtaini 6 water from drive wells,
and that it will be necessary in case
of failure, to obtain water by building
a dam in Beaver creek. OF course, no
doubt you people have studied the
situation and will know whether or
not this project is feasible.
Win you kindly advise me if there
is anything further | can do to pro-
mote this matter.
Sincerely Yours,
W. A. CLARK.

Since the canteen at military posts
was abolished by act of congress the
war Department has been trying to
furnish some sort of a substitute, and
nearly 100000 has already been ex-
pended in the erection of libraries
reading rooms, lunch rooms, amuse-

benefit of the enlisted men. The Sec

Sir:-Referring to your letter O
February II, 1906: I have the homo
to inform you that well testing out
lit has been purchased for use at Fort
Assinniboine, Mont, in order to de
termine whether or not water can be
obtained from drive wells. AS soon
as this information has been received,
definite action will be taken. The

however, is very doubtful, and it may
be necessary to obtain water by build

1t Is just as true today as it ever
was that the safest and most honor
able way for man to secure COM
petence is to do it little by little, tax
ing life time for the work. The
haste to be rich and make money fast
is the economic curse of America to-
day. Every man wants to draw a
prize in the business lottery and it is
seldom indeed that he is content with
small savings and safe investments.

There are years of work cut out for
the HaVre Industrial ASSOCIATION in
the matter of securing county roads
into the city. Havre affords the
largest and best home market for
much of the farm produce of this
section, yet she has poorer roads and
less of them than any town on the
line OF the Great Northern in the
county.

Hadrick had written him while
he was away from Spencer. The
defense demanded these letters,
and the State objected. After
some warm fitting between ooun-
sci on both sides, Leonard was al
lowed to state the contents OF the
letters. The Solicitor declared no
such letters were in his possession.
After further discussion the court
told counsel for the defense to file
affidavit as to what was Ill the
letters. Witness then stated that
Whitaker offered him $500 to kill
Hedrick, and he declined the job.

a number of times. The Solicitor

Der of hard questions, among
them, if be had not hired Nat

Conductor Will White corrobo-
rated the story told by Leonard,
as to the threats made by Whita-

the matter seriously at first, but
later did tell Hedrick. Witness
then went to Whitaker and told
him he had taken Hedrick's wife
from him, had threatened to kill
him, and asked why he did not
stop it. To this Whitaker an

much to be thankful for. AS a

Though probably deserved, we
have been spared the destruction
of life and property, such as has
visited the Gulf States by hurri-
canes, the Western States by
tornadoes, floods and earth
quakes, and other portions of the
world by famine. An allwise,
merciful and kind Providence
has blessed us on every side, has
fed. clothed and given us even
luxuries with a bcuntiful hand;
many of us have reaped where We
did not sow, and joy, good will
and friendly relations have exist
ed, with few exceptions, among all
classes, high and low, employer
and employe, through the width
and breadth of the good old North
State; the churches and Chris

the leaders in good works and
progress; the State government
has been conducted in a fair
and impartial ma n T, and
the courts have do m eh

institutions for the care Of the
deaf, blind and insane have. done
a noble work; our institutions of
learning have hourished and III
creased, and out of our bounty the
old soldier and his widow have
been comforted and last, though
not least, we have had no session
of the legislature during the
past twelve months. This last
item alone is sufficient for general
Thanksgiving, and, it is something
more than we need to expect dur

better than no return where a re-

Three ways are used by farmers
for curing and preparing their to-
bacco for the market; namely sun
cured, air cured and fue cured.
The old and cheap way is called air
cured; the later discovery and i'm
proved way is called fue cured.
In hue curing the tobacco is taken
from the fields and racked in barns
especially built to retain heat and
there subjected to a continuous high
temperature, produced by the direct
heat Of flame heated fues, which
brings out in the tobacco hat
stimulating taste and aroma that
expert roasting develops in green
coffee. These similar processes give
to both tobacco and coffee the cheer
ing and stimulating quality that pop
ularizes their use.
The quality Of tobacco depends
much on the curing process and the
kind of soil that produces it, as ex-
pert tests prove that this hue cured

hxes his favor on an animal. and these
factors in conjunction produced prices
that have somewhat astonished even
the most sanguine adherents of the
breed.
Comment offered in the London Live
Stock Journal is worthy of quotation:
buyers, however, were fastidious.
They will pay freely for what they
want, but they will not look at any
thing else. Fashion is as arbitrary to-
day as 1t has ever been. A bull must
be short legged, thick fleshed, thick
coated, with masculine head and q
strong, broad, level back 1t must have
well sprung ribs and Of equal impor-
lance are well covered hooks and nice
" turned tail head. In color it must be
dark red without any touch Of yellow
or a rich dark roam. 1t must have a
pedigree Of over fifty years in length,
and preferably it must be Of Scotch de-
scent or topped with Scotch.
The Color Item.
The Gazette finds it rather odd to
learn that the dark red coat and Scotch
breeding are insisted on in combina-
uOn. The mellow yellow reds have long
been In fashion In Aberdeenshre, and
their importation to this country dis
covered real merit as the basis of their
favor. Years before the dark red hair
faded among the fads of the Bates pc
Rod practical feeders had discovered
that such a coat is warning of lack of
thrift and feeding qualities compared
with the mellow coats of the lighter
reds and the roans.
Scotch Topped Cattle.
Most pertinent to our breeders is the
statement that the "fastidious" bidders
Included the Scotch topped cattle in
the fashion" This is indeed a re-
freshing note and should ring clear
into the ears of American breeders into
which straight" Scotch has been so
increasingly dinned The kindly min
Cling of Scotch blood with American
families opened the door for the de-
mand for north Britain stocks which
has characterized the trade for years
past. The excellence of the Scotch
topped cattle has practically made the
market.

From my experience and observa-

would feed young cattle, fattening and
marketing them to weigh from 800 to
6O pounds, and l would grind the corn
Ted to them after they reached $50
pounds. OF course there would be con-
siderable waste in this case, as one

could be carried along nicely, especial
