will forward the required amount Of
special checks at once by express
endorsed payableto the order of the
agents requesting them. 1t is des.r-
ed, however, to restrict the issuan ce
OF these special checks TO the smallest
amount necessary to accompl sl the
desired end, and agents will only ca
for them when absolutely necessa y
and then limiting the amount called
for to the actual requirements
THE use Of these checks, with
such amount Of currency as the agent
may take in at his station, will enable
the larger regular pay checks to be
cashed. For instance, if an employe
has pay check for SGT so, this may
be paid, say, In four checks of $1,000
each, in four checks of $500 each,
and $3.50 in currency. And as the
collections Of currency at each sta
tion will allow, agents will cash these
special checks and remit them to the
Treasurer.
Conductors will be permitted to
turn over to agents at stations on
their runs such cash as may be CO.
leeted On trains, In exchange for reg
ular Or these special pay checks, which
the conductors may remit in the US
ual manner to the banks where their
train collections are customarily de-
posted. .r.
Being of small denominations, $500
and $1,000 each, these special pay
checks should readily be accepted
from employees by merchants and 9th
ers in payment Of bills owing by
those employees; and merchants so ac-
cepting them may use them In pay
ment Of freight charges due the COM
pany, or they may be remitted by
those merchants in payment of their
bills due In other cities.

Helena, Nov. 1.-THE su.reme
court today heard arguments in a case
from Chouteau county which involves
the constitutionality of the free high
school law, passed by the last legis-
lature. The title is Evers against Hud-
son. the latter the treasurer OF Chou-

the payment OF a tax for a, free, high
school, on the ground that the law
authorizing 1t Is unconstitutional.

by issuing checks III these small

up promptly and as rapidly as the
cash collections at their r,s ective
stations will permit When cashing
these checks, the endorsements should
be carefully examined and the EN-

! kk,lnleaFES OF L0CAl-. RAIL ROAD DOlNGS. !;

+. Monday morning two Great North
, ern freight trains met at Chester, says
| the Signal. Nothing unusual, Of
course, as many meet here daily, but
the fact that the westbound crew had
been thirty hours in making the run
from Havre, distance of 81 miles,
and the east bound crew reported hav.
ing left Cut Bank about midnight on
Friday or about so hours covering 81
miles, forceably illustrates the condl-
tions prevailing and clearly shows
, that change must soon come.
We believe this should be very
powerful argument in favor of creatin
division point at Chester. The ten
dency among the big eastern roads is
to make the divisions about 70 miles
long. The men get over the shorter
runs in few hours without unneccess-
ary fatigue: the cars are kept in con-
stant motion and the maximum work
obtained from each engine
On these long runs the men become
exhausted and do not try to get oy-
er the road, making the cost of trans
portation much heavier and increases
the congestion at each division point
When the 16-hour law becomes ef-
fective it will further complicate mat
ters on the high line district, which is
said to be the worst on the system.
On account of the heavy grade, the
high winds and great length.
We hope the Great Northern man
agement will decide to make a di-
vision at Chester 81 y>e assure them
a perfectly square deal b., our PEOPLE.

Aldrich system Of growing corn
and cotton together, viz: two rows Of
cotton alternated with two rows of
corn, in comparison with solid plots Of
each.
Width Of rows, 4 feet, corn 19 in.
in drill, cotton from "a in. to 36 in.
in drill.
Florodora cotton and eighteen kar-
at prolific corn was planted.
-Four comparative tests each were
averaged In these counts.
Aldrich methods in round numbers
averaged per acre 70 bushels corn and
5400 pounds stover, counting corn at
IS cents per bushel and stover at rs
cents per 100 pounds, put corn pro-
duets at $93.12 per acre.
Cotton was sold for 16 cents per
pound and the seed at fl per bushel,
brought the cotton products up to
$113.16 per acre. Money value.
Solid plots of each corn and cotton
planted in solid crops as usually done
made in cotton 213 pounds in lint and
81 bushels Of seed, which sold for
$1S5.33 per acre.
Corn averaged 55 bushels and 400
pounds stovcr, making corn products
$72.10 per acre, and an average of
$128.71 per acre counting both corn
and cotton averaged up together.
This test shows loss OH the AL
drich plan Of $25.57 per acre when
cotton was sold for l6 cents. But
counting cotton at common prices, 10
cents, the loss to the Aldrich system
is reduced. to $7.57 per acre. This is
on account Of solid field of cotton
making more per acre and solid fields
of corn making less than when mixed
crops were planted on the Aldrich
plan.
Counting Cost.
When cost of production is taken
into count and cost of picking cotton
as against the cost of harvesting the
corn crop by machinery, there is a
difference Of only $2.57 per acre
against the Aldrich method per acre.
Finally our test for last years ex-
perience shows that we have paid, or
sustained loss on general average
of about $2.57 per acre for the priv
ilege of rotating our crop of corn and
cotton in the same field, which privil-
ege gave a good crop of peas and
vines on half the land.
We are well pleased with the result
of our Aldrich crops last year and
will plant larger area after the AL
drich method this year.
Under the Aldrich and Williamson
methods Of corn growing we made
upon an average of the whole crop
70 bushels and 81 pounds per acre
without any hand hoeing at any time.
Our cotton crop on the Aldrich meth
cd, averaged 1348 pounds Florodora
seed cotton per acre.

help him along to get ten cents per
pound for cotton. The banker in
each little town bound himself to the
others with his word Of honor; the
cotton five and six cents per pound,
they gave the honest Tan Face South
result was ten cents per pound for
cotton, they established million dol
lar cotton mills, and today they are
making money out Of cotton, and
their mills besides, that's how they
got the best Of the land rats, and the
water rats, and the water thieves and
the land thieves that hold up Wall
street, the big trusts and the monop-
olists and the gobblers Of the money
with hearts as hard as the flags of
hell, their lives and their fortunes
are strewn with skulls and suicides
and mingled with human blood.
The southerners motto is "cotton
ten cents per pound or we don'S
SELL" We all certainly must admire
their stand, and now apart from the
south, prosperity is all over the
country.
They haven't got enough of the
lambs in Wall street just now to>put
in drain pipe and let the water run
out. Wall street today has more wat
er underneath the stocks than Noah
had to float the Ark, but we might
have a tumble otherwise, and it is
just Us well to be little careful,
Some people buy like drunken sail
ors on the verge of prosperity.
This man explains why Wall street
that has everything else, has not
been able to make hell of their
own, viz: too much water, can't raise
the fire.
