The Following Will Convince You
That Montana Is
Great State.

BILE land that is being brought under
cultivation.
The state, for ten years past, has
yielded, as the average per acre. 26.7 7
bushels wheat, 40 bushels oats, 1876
bushels barley.
If the Montana acreage were put
into wheat, at the average yield for
the state, it would produce 800, 1000, 600
bushels.

yield for the state, it would produce
1,47O, 900 bushels.

yield for the state. it would mean a
productive possibility of 1,15S,O0O, 900
bushels.

into one grain and the yield were only
as great as the average for the United
States as a whole the productive
possibility would be: wheat Ala, 900 900
bushels: oats, 711,OOO.OOO bushels:
barley, ia, ,0O0,09O bushels.

The South Ends at the Flats, yes terday won the rubber game of their series with the North Ends in easy fashion 9-3. Wetstine started to pitch for the North Ends but was relieved after the first inning by Jaggers. The hits of the North Ends were oppor- tune, coming when men were on the bases. Carter's play at second base for the winners featured, he accepting eleven chances without an error. Rocky Farrell pitched a good game for the South Ends. Now that the South Ends have won the series from the North Ends, one of the contenders for the city championship. they are now in line to play the West Ends, city champs for 1908, for the title.

Sowing Fish.

Fish is dainty food. Practice is need ed in serving it. Lightness of touch and dexterity of management are nec- essary to keep the delicate flakes in- tact. It requires some skill to rip the skin and lay it back and sever the head and tail with neatness and dis
 patch. These three articles must nev- CT leave the platter. They belong to the cat The choicest morsel of any white fish is the cheek. It is not good form to cut through a fish. Begin at the tail and throw aside the skin. Be gin at the head to serve, cutting to the backbone. When the meat on that side Is helped turn the fish and help the other side in the same way. If there is roe a part should be served each per son. Boiling is the incest way to cook and the easiest way to serve fish. Dress the edge of the platter with hard egg and sliced lemon, tomato and beets.

Through Thick and Thin.

If monarchs have often permitted themselves the indulgence of making puns the fact has not been recorded in the pages of history. One pun, how ever, is assigned to King Frederick William W. of Prussia.
 1t Is said that on the occasion of a court ball he was standing near the middle of the dance hall in conversa- ton with an exceedingly thin ambas- sador. In the haste and excitement of a fiery galop a lieutenant of the hussars danced, with his partner, be tween the monarch and the person whom be was addressing, and then, seeing what he had done, he began to stammer abject apologies and explana- lions.
 "Ch, that was nothing replied the king. with a hearty laugh. "A hussar must go without far through thick and thin.'
 A whimsical glance from his own portly figure to that of the slender am- bassador accompanied this answer, and the hussar felt himself not only par donsd, but invited to share in the kings laugh

An Ivory Mat.

Many people have never even heard of such a thing, and 1t Is not to be wondered at, for these mats are ex- ceedingIy rare, and it is said by those who know that only three of these beautiful curjosities exist in the whole world. The one we now write about is the largest one made. It measures by feet and. though made in a small hill state in the north of India, has an almost Greek design for its border. It was only used on state occasions, when the rajah sat on it to sign important documents. The original cost of the mat is fabulous, for 6.4O0 pounds of ivory were used in its manufacture. The fin est strips of ivory must have been talk eu of the tusks, as the mat is as 1ex- ible as a woven stuff and beautifully fne.-London Graphic.

The delusion that sea water does not give cold iS accountable for much harm. A chill may be caught by wetting from sea water as quickly as by wetting from any other water. There Is . certain stimulation to the skin from salt, no doubt' but that does not pre- vent chills from indiscr1minate ex- posture to wettins by salt water, and chi1ls are fertile causes of illness Chill to the lower part of the body is always dangerous to any one.

DETROIT SLUGGERS WALLOP ORATORS
 AT STEEPLECHASE

Most of the celebrities of the Detroit American leaguers, with the excep- ton of Ty Cobb were pitted against the Orators at Steeplechase yesterday winning easily 9-1. The big leaguers pulled off a few startling plays which opened the eyes of the fair sized crowd present. The regular Tiger team with the mentioned exception of Cobb, whose place was taken by Germany" Schaefer, played good ball hitting "Rube" Pollard's slants with out any difficulty. Works and Speer the two Detroit pitchers would not last long against 8 good -team as the Orators gathered in eight hits, two by Pollard. The Orators got their lone tally in the ninth on Ban non's two bagger followed by Miller's single The s1ugger of the day was Killifer, the new second baseman who counted for two two baggers and a triple.

STEARNS BOAT UPSET,
 THREW OCCUPANTS OUT

A 14 horsepower gasoline engine in boat designed for an eight horse power engine caused the craft to leave the water and turn a somer- sault in the air, when the engine was started Saturday afternoon. Walter E. Stearns, the owner and designer and his sister. Miss Vida May Stearns were in the boat at the time of the accident and were picked out of the water by Oscar Richmond of the Mo- hawk Yacht club, none the worse for the accident except the wettins. The boat Vida ", did not sink but was kept af1oat while upside down in the water by the buoyancy of her gaso- line tank and an air tight conIpart- ment built in her bow. The mishap happened at the foot of East Main street just as MT. Stearns was about to take her on a trial trip. In, less than two hours the boat was in MT. Stearns' yard at 164 East Main street where he intends to remodel her. By adding IA inches to her bean he be- lieves that she will be able to carry the powerful engine. The craft is so light that two men can carry it with ease.

BUNYAN LEADS
 LOCAL STICKERS

The Orators got into a few games during the week in which the opposing pitchers were mighty stingy, and as a result number of the percentages took a tumble. "Rube'' Pollard has the most noticeable falling off. The Rube was placed in regularly in right field and came to the bat quite a num- Der of times not responding to the call of the fans in making the hits. Rube was well in the select class till the end of the week. John Bunyan still, however, remains with the classy, con- tinuing to larrup the ball. mostly when the hit is needed. Ladd hovers around the mark and is now just 300. Miller and Hilt are still batting good. The averages:

One of the advancing foe, seeing the situation. for a joke, came toward the unfortu- nate volunteer at full charge, with his bayonet fixed and ferocious look on his face. The poor fellow in the hedge. seeing the threatening aspect of af fairs, bawled out at the top of his voice: "Haud on, you idiot! Dinna yoc ken it's only in funP
