years, living at Stevensville two years
and then moving to Hamilton, where
he had been faithful employe of the
Anaconda Copper Mining company
sawmill for several years.
Mr.. Spencer was born at Clinton,
Maine, March, 1854 Leaving his ma
tive state he went to lola, Wisconsin,
where he was married 10 years ago to
Miss Harriet Taylor. To this union
was born two children, Lester and
Harriet Spencer, who with the widow

CROW INDIANS TO
HAVE ANNUAL FAIR
Industrial Exhibits Will be Displayed on
Banks of the Little Big Horn River.

Billings, October 13.-The annual
fair and industrial exhibit of the Crow
Indians will be held during the COM
ing week at the fair grounds on the
banks of the Little Big Horn river at
the Crow agency. In general the
program will be similar to that of last
year, but new features have been
added, and the exhibit of farm pro-
ducts, it is said, will be far more COM
plete than last seasons. The races
each day are all to be running events,
mile dashes, two-mile dashes and re-
lays. The mile dash of the old buffalo
hunters will be one Of the best on the
program. On Tuesday, in addition to
other things, the grand industrial
parade of original designs; Thursday,
parade of old Indians in native Dire SIS,
and parade of farm teams and lumber
wagons; Friday, grand parade of work
teams and agricultural implements.
Following the daytime festivities, the
evenings will witness greater ones in
the monster dances which are to be
participated in by almost every In
dian on the reservation. Invitations
to attend have been sent to the Nez
Perces, Sioux, Cheyennes, Crees and
Blackfeet. 1t is estimated that at
least three thousand Indians will be
on the ground.

Baughman Sues Railroad.

Helena, Oct. 12.-Alleging that he
ed by steam and hot water shot upon
him by Northern Pacific engine just
as he stepped down from a passenger
train and was unable to get out of the
way, d. r. Baughman of Hamilton
today filed a suit for damages in the
district court. He asks for 81, $50.
The complaint recites that the plain
tiff purchased ticket from Woodside,
in Ravalli county, to Helena, during
the mouth of October, 1904, and that
the conductor, taking advantage of
his ignorance of the road, put him off
at Mares spur, instead of Helena, tell
ing him that he was at his destination.
The plaintiff alleges that he did not
know anything about the vicinity of
Mares spur and that it was a dark
night and that he was trying to cross
the yards in the direction which the
conductor had pointed out to him.
While he was standing near the
tracks, he alleges, an engine, which
had a defective exhaust pipe, backed
down the siding by which he stood
and that although he tried to avoid
being burned, that he received the full
benefit of the exhaust discharge, and
that his leg was burned and the flesh
cooked, so that it was necessary for
him to be taken to a hospital, and that
he was in the hospital for a long
period and that he has never fully re-
covered, being at the present time un-
fit for and unable to work. He asks
general damages in the sum of $l,750,
and special damages, which are for
hospital and doctors fees, in the sum
of $248, together with costs and all
proper relief. Walsh and Nolan of
Helena and H. Fl. Parsons are at

District court adjourned for the term
today, All cases that have been set
for trial have been tried, settled out

And yet, despite this busy term, the
prospect is that a big calendar will con-
front the court in Decemoe when
another jury will be called.
In the case of Ed Henry VS.. Clara
Smith involving an accounting, the
case will probably go 70 the jury
today. Henry has been a tenant on

In the case of C. S. Miles VS.. Ed
Ensign the jury awarded the defend
ant Judgment in the sum of S91.43.
The case of John Kughn and others
against Van ID. Martin consumed most
of Saturday and Monday. This was
an IN JunCtlOn case TO prevent Martin
with interfering with ditch from

THE COLT SHOW. AT
CORVALLIS
Fine Bunch of Shire and
Coach Colts on Exhibi-
tion---The Prize
Winners.

@ lite a number from Hamilton at
tended the colt show at Corvallis last
Saturday and it was certainly worth
while to make the trip and have an
opportunity to look at such a fine
bunch of colts Few people realize
what a wonderful improvement care
full breeding has brought about among
the horses in the valley. Take
given number and you will find better
horses in the Bitter Root than any
other valley on earth. Most every
fellow you meet nowadays rides be-
hind a handsome we'll bred roadster
and the draft stock show the best
breeding strains.
Last Saturday some of this seasons
produce of two borses-Treasure
Trove, the imported Shire, owned by
the Ravalli County Horse Breeders
association and which was pronounced
by many the best horse of his class at
the state fair and J. A. Warren's S coach
horse-were on exhibition.
Owing to the 1aCt lndl tHTee tHIeSil-
ins machines were at work in the
neighborhood and the farmers are all
busy with their harvests only seven
or eight out of IS of Treasure Trove's
colts were on exhibition, although the
coach horse had larger representa-
ton. But the colts, by both horses,
were among the finest in all the land
Prizes of $40, $40 and SIS were hung
up for Treasure Trove's get. The
judges were Geo. Swab, Sam Green
and r. B. Sidebottom, who awarded
first prize to A. S. Croft; second, to
Rory Mcleod and third to Archie
-McKillop.
But one prize, a seasons service,
was hung up by Mr.. Warren, owner
of the coach horse and that was
awarded to c. r. Bell of Hamilton,
second going to Robt. Neaves and
third to B. S. Chaffin. The judges
were Rory Mcleod, Josh Wood and
r. B. Sidebottom.
No better colts can be raised any
where than in the Bitter Root and
with present prices and the constantly
increasing demand for good horses
it's certainly worth while.

sible where crops are grown every
year; and so safer growing conditions
are insured for the succeeding crop.
Again, when a field is cropped every
year the moisture is so fully utilized
by growing plants that an insufficient
amount is present for the essential
archaeological activities. AS con-
sequence, the processes which have to
do with bringing plant food into an
available state are hindered, and n.-
full food is not at hand for the develop
ment of large crops each year.
Furthermore, moisture is necessary in
the formation Of humus. Unless it is
'availa BILE to assist in these activities,
vegetable matter in the soil will not
decompose aud the desirable humus
content cannot be maintained.
1.-The season a field is being summer
fallowed it is important to practice
regular surface cultivation. If weeds
are allowed to grow or if the surface
becomes hard, moisture is wasted and
the advantages hoped for will not be
gained. Surface cultivation ought to
be practiced after every crust forming
rain. This can usually be done with
a spike tooth harrow In case of the
presence of rank growing weeds some
heavier implement like the disk may
have to be used, as the weeds must be
kept down and a moisture holding
surface mulch maintained.
Different crops show ability in
varying degrees, to grow and repro
duce themselves under unfavorable
conditions. For instance, rye will
grow aud produce seed under condi
tions so unfavorable that common
barley will make scarcely any growth.
again, variation is noted in differ
ent individuals of the same variety
when grown under unfavorable con-
ditions. For instance, an early frost
will entirely destroy some corn plants
in a field, while others of the same
variety under identical conditions re-
mained uninjured.
"These two facts point out the wis
dom of choosing seed from the hardy
individuals of the strongest growing
crops adapted to the locality. They
further indicate a line for improve
meut of dry land crops viz, field selec-
ton of the strongest growing individ-
uals. a-.sl.
"Since the precipitation is heavy
during April, May, June and July,
quick ripening crops ought to be grown
that maturity may be reached early in
July. Some strains of spring grain
have been selected for this purpose
and show greater returns than the
later maturing kinds.
"Fall sown strains seems to promise
larger and surer crop returns than the
spring sown kinds. If these are
planted early on summer fallowed
ground, good start is made in the
fall and strong root system develop
ed. This is a clear gain over spring
sown crops, as the crop is ready to
make strong start as soon as condi-
tions are favorable in the spring.
"The crops being used on the ex-
perimental dry farms in different parts
of the state were selected because of
their general hardness and early
ripening qualities, or because of the
nature of their growth which permits
OF intertillage. These crops are Durum
or Macaroni pring wheat, Sixty Day
oats, Russian Bald, or White Hulless

DRY FARMING In
MONTANA
Remarkable Results Achieved
on Dry Lands Not Sus-
ceptible Of Irri-
cation.

Among the exhibits Of greatest in
terest at the state fair were the pro-
ducts of the dry farmers of several.
counties of the state. Of course this
has been a very favorable season for
dry farming but the results that may
be attained from lands not susceptible
of irrigatio in this state are certainly
wonderful.
In Ravalli county, high up on the
east side foothills, mammoth crops of
grain, alfalfa and vegeta bles are pro-
duced right along without irrigation.
A recent bulletin issued by the
director of the government experiment
station at Bozeman gives the follow
ing aneut dry farming.
''If the ground is to be lett for Gro p
ping the following season or is to be
planted with fall or spring breaking,
frequent cultivation is essential in
order that the moisture already in the
ground and that which falls during
the summer may be held for use by the
crop. AS soon as the surface has suf-
ficiently dried after rain it should be
stirred so that the loss of moisture
may be reduced to a minimum.
"After crop has been planted, Gull
tivation ought to be continued until
the grain is up high enough to shade
the ground. This may cause few of
the plauts to be destroyed but the con-
servation of the IN DISTURB and the ad-
mission of the air will so favor the
crops growth that this loss will be
compensated for many times. This
cultivation may be done with spike
tooth harrow, and in order to prevent
excessive tearing, the teeth can be
turned backward somewhat for later
civilizations.
"When the crop has been cut the
ground ought to be Immediately disk
ed. The exposure which comes as a
result of the removal of the standing
grain quickly dries out the soil and this
must be prevented wherever possible.
"Opinions differ as to the best time
to plow in dry land culture. Many
favor fail blowing for the reaso n that
| it brings the soil into condition to re-
ceive moisture readily. Again, since
the ground is very hard in the fall,
others favor leaving the blowing until
spring, when it can be done much
more easily, and simply disking in the
fall. Investigations are being con-
Quoted for the purpose of throwing G
light on this point.
Continuous cropping with the ordi-
nary cereal crops does not seem to
bring the highest returns, so summer
following the land each alternate year
is recommended. While the absence
of experimental data make the state.
ment of definite reasons for this i'm
possible, yet observation seems to
point out several advantages. In the
first place, in a carefully cultivated

CRIME TO DESERT WIFE OR
CHILDREN.
New Law Goes Into Effect Relative
To This Matter.

A new law has gone into effect regard
ing man deserving his wife or parents
DESERVING their children which makes
this much more serious offense than
it hitherto has been.
In fact before this law was passed
a man could desert his wife and chill
dren or mother could desert her
children and there was no statute in
the state that could do anything to
them for SO doing.
Now, however, all this has been
changed and under the provisions of
the new law any man who deserts his
wife or his children and leaves them in
destitute condition can upon convic-
ton be sent to the penitontiary for a
term not to exceed one year. The same
law relates to a woman who shall de-
sert her children under 16 years of age
and she can be held on the same charge
if this is proved.
The law provides, however, that if
the man expresses willingness to do
better and support his family or if the
woman desires to do better and support
her children then the court can place
her under bonds not to exceed $1,000
and give her a chance to do better.
He or she can be held under these
bonds as long as the court sees fit, how
ever, and if at any time they do not full
fill their agreement then the court has
the right to have them brought into
court for trial.
The law will prove applicable many
times in Decatur county for in the
past few years quite large number of
men have been brought into attention
on complaint of their wives who state
that they are destitute and their hus-
band refuses to give them any support.
Heretofore, the officers could only
listen to the story of the wife and tell
her that there was nothing that they
could do. Now, however, all this has
been changed for upon such complaints
the officers have the right to arrest
such man and bring him before the
justice for preliminary hearing. If
the evidence is sufficient the justice
can hold him to the grand jury and he
will have trial as stated before.
| AS mentioned above the law also APP
plies to the desertion of children by
either parent and the officers can ar
rest them on complaint the same as in
the other instance.
| The effect of the new law should be
that fewer stories of men who have
left their wives and families with
nothing to eat in the house will appear
in print.

Agriculture is now profession and
is gaining recognition as such. The
landowner is the true aristocrat; and
the intelligent farmer and breeder, such
as we have in this locality, is the high
est type of the landowner. Given a
fertile soil, like that of this section, a
salubrious climate like ours, progress
sive farm population like that of this
part of the country and general dis
semination of knowledge of farm meth
DDS, and prosperity can hardly fail to
result. For this purpose there is moth
ing better than a higher grade farm
journal like the Iowa Homestead, pub
lished at Des Moines, Iowa, which has
attained circulation of $4,000 among
the best farmers of the corn belt. The
Homestead is the Oldest and best of the

Manufacturers and shippers are put
ting in their time this week figuring out
how they will be affected by the new
classification of freight which has just
been proposed by the western railroads
and which will be finally passed upon
before the end of the month. The most
important changes in the proposed
schedules are the reduction of the
minimum for cereal products from 10000
pounds to $4,000 pounds and intro
duction of the new bill of lading. which
fixes responsibility for shipments on the
initial line. Heretofore initial lines
have disclaimed responsibility when
loss or damage occurred on connect
ing line, and shippers have found it
difficult to recover. Some of the items
on the schedule make entertaining read
ing, such as the announcement of re-
duction in the freight rate on live bees,
together with the provision that auto
mobiles which break down a long way
from home may be shipped back on a
special low rate. The classification will
become effective September l, 1907.
