'ST. PATRICK'S CELEBRATION.
The Irishmen Of Fort Benton Give a
Most EnjoyabI e Banquet.

The celebr alton OF St. Patrick's day
was the occasion for q most enjoyable
banquet At the Choteau House Tues.
day evening. given by the Irishmen
of Fort Benton and vicinity. There
we're between fifty and sixty guests
present, and the celebr alton will be
long remembered as the most pleasant
event of its kind in this part of Mon.
tana.
The committee 10 charge OF the ar.
engagements had made elaborate prep.
arations for the comfort and enjoy.
ment of the guests. The dining room
had been very prettily decorated. the
most attractive feature being an imi.
tation harp in gold, the framework of
which contained q number of green
in~candescent lights. During part Of
the musical exercises the illumination
of the room came entirely from this
source, the other electric lights being
switched of, and the effect was most
unique and pleasing.
The menu of the banquet showed
that the management had spared no
effort or expense in securing the
choicest d~elicacies of the season. The
menu cards we're printed in green,
| with an embossed shamrock design.
Jere Sullivan presided over the
banquet and acted as POSTMASTER, a
position which he filled in q manner
tn at contributed largely to the pleas.
ure and success OF the proceedings.
Mr.. Sullivan opened the toast list
with q patriotic speech, during which
he expressed the regret felt by all over
the absence, through illness, of Rev.
Father Hennessy. who was expected to
respond to the toast of honor of the
day. AT the close Of the banquet, the
guests were entertained with an excel.
lent musical program, containing the
following numbers:
Father O'Flynn. ..... 6. Sullivan
on For Philadelphia. ............ Patrick Egan
The Harp That Once Through Tsra's Halls.
Vuo1
The Iriehmsn's Toast ............ W. 5. Townel
The Last Milestone. ..... .......Jere Sullivan il
Killarney Ousrtett<
Last Rose of Summer -.............. Quartett<
Each of the numbers was excellently
rendered, and received an encore from
the appreci alive guests. Several
toas,s we're interspersed with the mus
ical program, the POSTMASTER calling
for responses to the following:
1.-THE President. "-F. e. Stranahan.

At the conclusion of the musica
program there was an informal ses

guests responded to calls for stories
or remarks upon matters which the.
were qualified to discuss. The singin!

the proceedings to a close, the guest
departing with many expressions U

TRIUMPH COTTON

Reports of the relative merit of Triumph cotton as compared with the ordinary cotton are be- ginning to come in. This week Capt. D.. w. Chandler brought in two stalks of cot ton, one of Tri- umph and one of the common kind, from the fields belonging to Jim Rhodes near Ogamaw. Mr. Rhodes states that he brought fair sample of each variety.
 The stalk from the Triumph field of eight acres, although planted eight days later, is twice as large as the other and shows seventeen large bolls, while the stalk from the common variety field shows only three grown bolls. We have these stalks on exhibition at this office. The soil on which the two were grown is said to be equal in fertility, and the cultivation was the same.
 Capt. Chandler says he has been in couple of cotton fields across the river lately, and the differ ence between Triumph cotton and the variety commonly grown here is much in favor Of the fOrmer.-Camden Herald.

REGARDING ALFALFA

The experimental plat of alfal- ia on Rapp Bros. farm, to which reference has been made be- fore in thes columns, was cut the third time this season on July 22 after having been five weeks without rain. says the Camden Herald. The alfalfa is growing again nicely after the cut ting and it cannot be discovered that any of the plants died from the drought effects. With moderate rainfall two more crops of hay will be secured from this plat
 The success of the test made is such that we now have no hesi- tancy in stating that alfalfa will grow on any kind of soil in this county and that every farmer can have a good field if he will take sufficient pains to properly prepare his land before seeding No one ought to SOW alfalfa without thoroughly preparing the land. To do so is to invite failure,
