LABOR OF THE HORSE.
How II Can BE Made to Make Up for
Lack OF Hired Help.


Some one has figured out that 1t
costs ON the average only one-half as
much to feed horse as II does to feed
a man, and that the horse will do ten
times the amount of work that II is
possible for the man to do. II this
estimate is correct, then q dollars
worth OF food given the horse viii
produce 20 times as much results as
the same amount OF money will II ex.
pended In feed for a man. Therefore,
when man domesticated the horse he
Immensely increased his own power of
securing results. When much farm
work ID to be done there should al.
ways be enough horses to do it,
Farmers try TO economize on the mum
Der Of horses and have to leave much
work undone. In the event of hired
help being scarce, II is sometimes
possible TO Offset this lack by increas,
Ing the number of horses kept. In
some parts of the west and northwest
declares the Farmers Review, the
scarcity OF help has resulted In more
horses being used. Five are hitched
to double plow, and one driver ls
thus enabled to turn two furrows at 8
time and practically double the work
that one man has to do. This is the
result Of the complete utilization Of
horsefiesh.

LEAP YEAR
FESTIVITIES
Helms & Volkert Building the Scene of Great
Reception on Friday Evening Last

The young ladies of the city GER
tainly deserve a great deal of credit
for the manner in which they con-
Quoted their Leap Year ball on Fri
day evening last. They went at the
project with a vim, which left no
doubt Of success from the first, and
compared with the efforts of some
of the masculine gender, they prov
ed themselves incalculably good en-
tertainers. Every department of
the work was managed by the young
ladies, and no men were previously
allowed around the premises, while
the decorating ETC., was being done.
The Helms & Volkert building was
the scene of the festivities, which
commenced shortly after 9 o'clock.
At this time, that master of terpsi-
chore, E. J. Berry and wife, inau-
gurated the grand march, over fifty
couples being in line. The music
was furnished by the Glendive
Orchestra for fifteen numbers, and
travelling Italian duo, with harp
and violin, played for several extras.
In the center of the hall a large
japanese umbrella was hung, from
which extended in various directions,
hundreds of paper hearts. The front
windows were fitted up for cosy cor
ners, while in the back of the hall
was a corner specifically designed for
"srooning" AS the occasion of Leap
Year d~n't come very often, the
most must be made of the opportun-
ity. A plentiful supply of punch

NELSON GETS MOVED

H. B. Nelson, the general furnish
ings dealer, is beginning TO get nicely
settled in his new location in the Krug
block, and will shortly be ready to
show MS customers about as fine a line
of general house furnishings, novel
ties, ETC., as can be found in the city
of Glendive.
The location is excellent and the
new building certainly gives a superb
or air of cleanliness in every depart
mlentg Mr.. Nelson handles nothing
but the best goods, therefore his store
has always been a real mecca to the
busy housekeepers. This store has al
so gained an enviable reputation for
square dealing and low prices, and
there is no doubt that it will continue
to have an eminently satisfactory
growth.

was charmi1gly dispensed by the
young ladies during the progress of
the evening. Referring to the dance
program, special mention must be
made of the masterful way in which
Mrs. Geo. Bills called off the two
square dances.
The chandeliers in the hall were
enshrouded in a canopy of red It's
sue, which cast a beautifully reful-
gent glow over the dancers as they
glided through the many mazes of
terpsichore The assemblage was
certainly representative one of the
younger element of the city.
An elegant repast was served in
the Masonic Temple by the ladies of
the Eastern Star. The table deco
rations were cut flowers, cut glass
and miniature hearts, elaborately
arranged by the artistes in charge.
The proceeds Of the luncheon are to
go towards the contribution prom
ised the Masonic Home in Helena,
and it is understood that a good sum
was realized. The appointments
and service were certainly superfne.
It's hard to see how the party
could have been any more Of a sue
cess than it proved. The ministers
and justices of the city are prepar-
ing for a harvest, for there is no
doubt that large number of en-
gagements resulted, the young ladies
of course clearly realizing that they
will not have a similar opportunity
for four more long years.

HARTMAN AGENT OPPOSES.
|. N. Payson, former member of
congress from Illinois but now a
legal representative of the Hartman
lines. opposed the resolution yester-
day at meeting Of the committee.
1t is intended by the committee that
the resolution or bill to be reported
shall authorize the attorney general
to bring proceedings not only to COM
pei the railroads to open these lands
to settlement, but to forfeit title in
cases where it appears that the rail-
roads have deliberately conspired to
defeat the purpose of the govern
ment in ceding the lands.
The idea of the government in
making grants was to bring about
the construction of railroads and fa-
ciitate the settlement Of new coun-
try. Congress fixed the prices at
which the lands should be sold to
actual settlers. This price was not
to exceed $3.50 an acre.
Information was presented to the
judiciary committee showing that
railroads, instead of disposing Of the
land to borafde settlers had so man
ipulated the settlements that the
railroads themselves are now in pos

grants were made in alternate sec
tions, but this safeguard, it was de-
clared. has not prevented the roads
from becoming possessed of large

To Urge Probe of
Land Grants in West
Senate Judiciary Committee Will Push
TiIImdn Resolution.

Washington, Feb. 15.-(Special.) }
The senate committee on judiciary
has determined to report out the Till
man resolution to direct the depart
ment of justice to investigate the
methods of the selling lands by the
land Grant railroads of the West.
The investigation is based on the
belief that some of the Pacific roads
which were constructed with the aid
of the public land grants, have been
refusing to sell their lands to actual
settlers at the stipulated prices,
although the land grants specifically
state that they shall do so.
PROVISIONS VIOLATED.
Milton y. Purdy, special assistant
attorney general and B. D. Town
send, assistant district attorney, of
North Dakota, appeared before the
senate committee yesterday. Thus
far little definite information has
been made public as to the violation
of the land grant stipulations by the
Western roads, but many instances
have been cited to show the roads
are either holding the land or have
disposed of them contrary to the
provisions of the grants.
1t isclaimed that the Northern Pa
cific will not be affected by whatever
investigation is undertaken, mas
much, as it has disposed of its lands,
but this fact is not confirmed by the
department of justice. The resolu-

The Sheridan creamery is not max
ing much noise but is grinding along
and making money. The only re-
grettable feature of the affair is that
the ranchers, who are the prime be-
nefactors and who could make the
concern a brilliant success, do not
take the proper intarestin the enter
prise. Those who are patronizing
the undertaking are highly pleased
and will be heavier patrons next sea-
son by increasing their herd of mich
