st. Joseph's Academy.

Splendid has been the record OF
st. Joseph's academy and all refer
with pride to its history and useful
ness in the community. Under wise
management and guidance 1t has at
all times been progressive and
thorough-ever up-to-date.
The fact that 1t has no graduates
this year is no reflection or any sign
of a tagging in its work. Like all
educational institutions this happen
ed to st. Joseph's, but is not likely
to occur. again for many years, ii
ever.
The school is growing in strength
all; the time and the attendance is
gratifyingly larger each year. Its
future is bright and the school will
be enduring.
At the closing exercises, though moi
in the nature OF a commencement,
are looked forward to by all who are
acquainted with the high and capable
training given by the sisters and none
who attend will be disappointed in
the slightest.

Meaningless RESOLUTIONS.

Our Democratic brethren in their
county convention will most likely go
through all the solemnity of con-
demning the affairs of the county,
Wonder If they will not condemn the
courts and the prosecutor for doing
their duty. They will likely take a
whack at the county court, of which
their choice in the convention is
president. or course, they will have
something to say about the admins
tration of some OF the county offices
one of which is filed now by one OF
their own but no better than by the
last Republican clerk, and, perhaps
not SO well. But, the public need
only expect them to pass this one by
without mention unless 1t Is tc
praise the condition, which is none
better than it was before.
Corporations will come in for a
round. notwithstanding the fact that
corporation agents and other EN-,
ployes take an active part in the de-
alterations OF the convention and the
conditions that exist.
There will possibly be round Of
abuse for every one, who has dared
oppose them or expose their methods
And, with 1t all said the resolutions
will be as meaningless, as II they hat
not been written.

Some have cut only two crops, and
others have cut four, but the aver
age Is three, and the average yield
about five tons per acre. The pres
emit price varies from SIS to SIS per
ton in the stack, according to location
and demand. is not probable that
the average price will drop below SIS
for many years. The cost of putting
the hay into the stack is about $f.25

The average yields per acre are,

great things and as ugar factory is
assured upon the completion of the
works necessary to irrigRte an area
large enough to guarantee five-year
contracts on 5000 acres of beets.
Past experiments prove that the
farmer should average a net profit

1t Is probable that the Sun River
Valley will prove an excellent dairy
country. A creamery was completed
in Augusta, in January, 1907, and
the three or four others already in
operation in neighboring towns show
that the industry is profitable and
will be permanent and growing. Four
and a third million pounds of butter
are now imported annually from 9th
er states. This means that over a
million dollars ought to be kept in
Montana each year for butter.

Sun River Valley.

One OF Montanas most beautiful
agricultural Valleys early this sum-
mer will be the scene of unusual ac-
tivity. when hundreds of homeseek-
ers from all parts of the country ar
rive to take up their now homes.
The Sun River Valley, which is To-
Gated tlittle west of the center of
the state on the eastern slope of the
Rocky Mountains and near the city
of Great Falls. was selected several
years ago by the Reclamation Service
as choice area for the construction
of stupendous irrigation work. The
work has progressed rapidly and on
May Z two hundred and fifty farms
will be thrown open to settlers on
very liberal terms.
These farms will be obtainable I'M
der the homestead law, subject to
the charges of actual cost of water
upon the number OF acres actually
supplied with water from the sys-
tenn. This charge has been fixed at
$50 per acre, divided into not less
than five nor more than ten annual
payments. The sum of $3.50 will be
due and payable at the time of max
ing entry. The second instalment
will be payable March 1. 1910, thus
allowing early settlers nearly two
years before second payment is due.
In this period any Industrious settler
can get his land in shape to earn its
own repayment of the charges.
An interesting and unique feature
in connection with the project is the
proposed establishment of model
rural villages every six miles. In
all there will be twenty of these, so
that no farm will be more than three
miles from a postoffice and school.
All the crops which can be grown
in northern countries can be raised
here. 1t is probable that the princi-

 The judge spent the most of last sum- mer in the Innoko country, where aside from agitating the mosquito pest, he enjoyed delightful period of physical stagnation interspersed with generous sprinklings of intellectual calm. While in that district the Judge didn't find it necessary to unpack his law library, and brought it back to Fairbanks in tact.

Trial Before
 Commissioner

An interesting case was tried before Commissioner Bevington "Wednesday afternoon in which a man named Riley sued Jack Price for $19.50, which amount he claimed was due him for labor performed. Price disputed the bill and rendered $1O as a settlement. which was refused by Riley.
 The case was tried before jury and much testimony that was quite inter esting was offered.
 When Riley was on the witness stand he made a statement which Price claimed was not true.
 "You're a d--d liar," said Price.
 "You're d--d liar," returned Riley, and they both started for each other.
 "Ten dollars each," said the court and quiet was restored. Price handed over his money.
 Do you want it now?" asked Riley
 "Yes, I'll take it now," replied the court.
 Then Riley consumed few minutes of the courts time, during which he evidently found his way to a none. belt he wore, and produced ten.
 After this episode the trial wore or to a finish and was given to the jury who returned verdict of $l7 in favor of the plaintiff.

MCCORMACK HIGHLY
 PLEASED WITH DISTRICT

J. w. Mccormack who has been look ing over the creeks of this district for the past ten days, started yesterday on his return to Fairbanks.
 Mir. Mccormack is very much inn pressed with prospects of the country, and says he considers it the real para disc for placer miner. S.4
 "When you consider" he said, ''that seven-tenths of the mining ground now being worked in the Fairbanks district is over l25 feet deep, you cansimagine now pleased those miners would feel to start in and work the ground here which will run only 50 to 6ofeet.
 "Not only is the ground shallow, but the values are here. All that is neces- sary is that the men who own the ground either work itathemselves, let lays or sell-in which event this camp would soon forge to the front. If one piece of ground where they have pay commences big work, it will not be long until. the paystreak will be con- nected up to the next claim, and so on, until there would soon be complete line of dumps the entire length of the paystreak.

Joe Eglar was in the city Monday looking after the moving of some of his freight to the creeks. At present he is unable to move his heavy machin- cry on account of the lack of snow, but will have it freighted out as soon as the sledding improves.
 Mr. Eglar reports that the laymen who are working on the fraction which he purchased last year have struck pay and are taking out winter dumps. The pay has been crosscut and shows good width.
 Eglar & Wallick are at present pros pecting claim owned by them on Gold Hill, and are having machinery placed upon the ground. This claim is on the left limit of Sullivan opposite Tofty, and is apparently in line with the good pay from both of those streams.
