An attempt has tpeen made to bride
Jailer Heagney Of the city jail In or
der to secure the release Of 2 pris-
oner. Luckily the sturdy guardian OF
the city's %jailbirds was l~ncorruptible,
and the prisoner is still Gagged with
the rest Of the dickey birds in the
basement.
It was this way. Marie White. col
sored, Is serving q sentence for dis
turbance, and is anxious to finish the
sentence before it is completed. Yes
terday, in a soft, suave, oleaginous,
Ethiopian voice she called Charlie to
the bars and whispered dulcetly that
she would like to be free.
Nothing doing" replied the jailer.
Look here urged Marie, IF you'll
let me out Of this place I'll bring you
eight big fat chickens, enough for
dinner eight times for q big family
incorruptibie.
Heagney Is fond Of chickens, but
he remembered his stern duty as an
oficer and turned q deaf q to
the siren voice which murmured
chicken"
His mouth watered q little when
Marie even offered to cook the chick
ems Maryland style or any Other
way, but whenever he felt temptation
again assailing him he thought Of his
duty and with q sigh r~elinquished ell
hope Of chicken.
But he maintains strenuously thai
Marie out and cooking nice fat chick
ems would be Of more value to the
world than Marie in Jail and the
chickens in the coop.
Rumor has It That Marie never had
q chicken-which makes n wonder
where she would get them.
However, there are many chicken
coops in Billings. Ever hear how Dr.
Clark's roost was robbed?-but thai
Is another story.

Yesterday afternoon after the Sande

From Thursdays Daily.
a permanent Injunction, restraining
the city Of Billings and 3. Lindstrum
from building q sewer. across McKen-
creek at its intersection with Third
avenue north, in such a manner as to
divert the flow Of the creek, is asked
for in q suit which was filed by Peter
and Christian Yegen In the district
court yesterday. against the city and
=. Lindstrum.
a temporary order restraining the
city and Lindstrum from building q
sewer in such q manner as to divert
the aow Of the creek was issued by
Judge Fox yesterday pending trial Of
the issues IN the case.
Yegen Bros, state ID their COM
plant, that they are owners OF 100
acres Of land southeast Of the city and
located in the Anderson addition and
that they also own q water right on
200 inches Of the. now Of Mckenzie
creek.

This water they say Is diverted from
the creek by means Of q ditch which
Is below Third avenue north, and Is
used4on their land for irrigation pur-
poses.
Lindstrum Hiss Contract.
The complaint continues by stating
that the scity has entered into a CON
tract with e. Lindstrum to build a
sewer from North Fifteenth street
along Third avenue north to Twenty.
fifth street and that Lndstrum will
start work on the sewer Immediately.

ranch.
They claim that it would be impos'

Our Agricultural ADVANCE.

Il is peculiarly Interesting. in view Of
the Presidential anxiety for the Vel be
ing Of the American farmer. TO note an
article in the Manufacturers Record
entitled Americas Amazing Agricultural
Advance in which the suthor sets forth
something Of the truly marvellous growth
not only in the value Of agricultural prod
ucts, but IN the wealth Of the farmers
As the years pass. the haphazard quail
ity seems TO be disappearing from farm
ing. and the science Of agriculture is be-
ing applied with as much care and fore
thought as would be the rule in any COM
me-cial OF financial business. And. in
deed. the advance Of agricultural wealth
has been much grea1er than the advance
in any other business in the country.
The Increase IN the value Of farm prop
erty frem 1900 10 1907 Of Ss.Og0.O000l0 is
nearly nine times as large as the aggre-
gate national banking capital Of the
United States II IS more than one-halt
as large as the total capitalization, bonds
and stocks included. Of all the railroads
Of the United States. II is more than
three times as large as the aggregate saw
ings-bank deposits OF the whole country.

pie engaged in agriculture increased By a per cent.
While the value of farm prodU-s increased By % Per

All this would seem 10 indicate that
AIr. Roosevelt is unnecessarily anxious
about the weI-being OF the American
farmer. and that in spite Of tarin which
does not protect him, but only protects
and makes much dearer the manufac-
tured articles he has 70 buy, he has made
more real progress than any other class
Of citizen. The figures presented show
that he does not dissipate the wealth he
so laboriously earns, but is thrifty and
1 prosperous.
Did other lines Of business throughout
fthe country show anything like the same
/ proportion Of growth ard increase. We
well might boast OF ogr wealth. In 1850
the average value Of farm property was
| Sl.579 per capita; this had increased &c
