At The Opera House
To Dehorn Calves.

J. T. Maynard, in the Home
stead gives the following plan
which he has adopted for dehorn-
ing calves-it seem an excellent
one:
In reply to Mr. Richardson's
request l might say I have tried
two ways; call them the old and
the new.
My old way was to first feel the
calf's head (for some calves horns
come sooner than others) and as
soon as you can feel the nub take
your knife and make the s1ighte ST
cut-one drop of blood is enough
then take piece.ot concentrat.
ed lye the size of a pea, place ii
in the little cut and the work Is
done. But that does not altel
the disposition.
The new way is: Get Ree

BiIlinqs-Great Falls Line.

Despite all stories to the contrary,
the contract for the building of the
Great Falls-Billings line by the Hill
roads has not been let. And it has
rot been let because the engineers
have not completed their work. tt is
the question of grades that is caus
ihs the delay. The trouble is at the
ends of the line. Mr.. Hill insists on
g grade that will allow him to haul Is
cars in train. The engineers have
ret yet been able to find such a grade
On the Great Falls end. The rights of
way have all been secured so far as
they can be until the engineers COM
plete their work, and there is no de-
lay on that score. The grades at both
ends are the sticking points, and until
they are settled there will be no con-
tract let. 1t is the general impress
sion among those who are close to rail
way construction that Guthrie G. Co.
Will get the contract when it is let
