Hon. VIM. Nolan, July 1914.
Mr.. Nolan has made more people
laugh than any one man in the
northwest. He is typical Of the
middle west. AS an entertainer.
he is qlaint and decidedly origi-
nal: His entertainers, though
designed to am1se, are filed
with a homely philosophy and
occasional touch of seriousness
that only helps to bring out the
foibles of human nature.
The lecturers. AS is we'll
known. the original purpose sc
the Chautauqua system was that
|of popular education in the high
Ter fields Of science, art, litera-
ture, history and political econ
only. Much OF this work which
was formerly included in the
study courses is now covered by
the lectures, and it is therefore
necessary that this part Of the
program should be the strongest
possible.
It is for I thinking men and
women those who seek the very
best in the intellectual fields

lecture program presented to the

How it ]. oOks to
Some Of Us

This is the time Of the year
when owners Of bleoded cattle,
horses and other four legged
animals turn them loose on the
8ansllsp acting public, where they
aInuse thense selves ecorating
lawns and other works Of art.
some reason or other this
year there seems ito be one or
two well known animals that
are missed from the ranks of
last years animals. What has
become of sthesesis unknown, but
if they have not been turned over.
to the butcher, the owners there
OF are urgently requested to turn
them out with the rest Of the
stock that is tearing up lawns,
5boulevards and gardens. This
lis the proper time of the year to
get in good work while the
ground is soft and pliabIe. OF
course there will be some nice
green lawns latter on and preety
flower beds as well as gardens,
butt is better to start out early
ito avoid the rush.
our attention is called to- the
fact that iff you have neglected
this imp ortant duty Of turning
your stock loose, you should at
tend to the matter az once. Ia
nearly every part Of the city
home builders have unfenced
lawns which they believe look
Eprettier than those with fences
around them, and the attention
Eof cattle and horse owners is cal
led to these as being especially
fine and soft just now.
If there are any vacant lots
near YOU, please use them to
make drive ways over and ia
dump ashes on, as the weeds
have not had Il chance to grow
Just yet, and at this time Of the
year it looks had on the middle
|of the street, and besides the
city authorities would remove it.
These are important matters
which should not be oVerl0 0oked,
as they help TO make a city look
like a one horse country village.

lumber to be delivered at the sawmill

There are now 93 teams at work on
that part OF the Milk river ditch on
which the Blackfeet Indians are TO be
employed. The wages for a man and
team is Sd per day, the man to board
himself and team. The Indians have
asked for a raise Of 81 per day, SO as
to enable them to purchase grain to

NOR labOrers at the sawmill and at
Babb are $3.50 per day, with the priv.

A BIG HAY CROP
Resident of Milk River Valley Tells About
Its PrOductiveness,
Helena Independent.

helena Independent.
George w. Cowan, one of the old.
timers OF the Milk river country, ar.
rived in the city yesterday with his
wife and child, aud will make this city
their future home. In talking yester.
day Mr.. Cowan spoke of the Milk
river country.
During the past few mouths the
farmers and ranchers of that section
OF the country have been more than
pleased at the amount of rainfall in
that section. which was nearly double
that OF last year, and while the prices
are not as high at present as they were
a year ago. it is expected that they
will increase later. Over so, 600 tons
were raised in the vicinity Of Harlem
and Chinook, and all OF this is now
being baled preparatory to shipment
to the different markets Of the state.
During the next few months hay will
leave that section in trainload lots,
while a large amount will be kept on
hand for sheep feeding purposes dur.
ing the long winter months.
"The irrigation interests of the just
ly celebrated Milk river country are
receiving nor attention at the hands
OF the government this year than for
several years past. This is due in
large part to the citizens of the entire
valley and to the many water users
associations that have the matter in
hand. The government canal, when
finished, will irrigate many thousand
acres of arid land in that section,
which at present are entirely worth.
less, except for pasture purposes.
Just as soc as the big ditch 10 finished
these lands will be eagerly sought,
and the entire valley will be settled up
in a short time.
~ understand that the crops at the
experimental farm, some twenty odd
miles north of Harlem, are in excel
lent condition and that the harvest
there will surprise the people who
were instrumental in getting the farm
started. All Of the farming done there
is OF a dry nature, and all of the cere.
ais that can be raised in that northern
country have been experimental with
to good advantage. The crop of fax
that was planted there in the early
spring months will produce more than
four times a. much as was first ex.
pected, while the crop of potatoes will
be SO large that there will not be a
potato famine in that section of the
country for some time to come"
