whole course is designed to be Of
the greatest possible good to the
young men who take it. The edu-

Yates on Road
to Progs'ess

On Monday evening the editor
OF the Pioneer, in company with j.
l.. Hutchins, drove over to our
sister town. Yates, and were some
what surprised to note the rapid
progress OF that thriving little city,
and every one Of her citizens seemed
very enthusiastic over her BRIGHT
future. The town has grown con-
slderably since last fall and during
this time g new bank, two large
elevators, one large hotel, a res
taurant, saloon, general store, land
office, and a lumber yard have been
established.
Mr.. Ripley, cashier Of the new
bank, informed the writer that in
addition to what has already been
established, three more business
firms expect to open up soon for
business. One of these firms will
conduct general store, one ex-
poets to handle hardware exclusive
ly, while the third will be meat
market, the lot already having been
purchased for the location of the
build. And, last but not least, ar
rangements have been made for the
establishment Of q newspaper. We
understand Mr.. E. E. Dickinson,
a Beach merchant, ana a Mr..
Thomas, of Prarie du Chem, Wis,
are the parties interested in the
general store, and a MI. O'Connor,
of the O'Connor Realty Company,
of Belfeld, is back of the hardware
establishment.
The firms now established there
all seem to be enjoying an excel
lent patronage, and the new firms
coming in will doubtless experience
the same pleasure. The town is
but a little over year old, and
considering the short period since
first establishing, it certainly has
made a great showing. 1t is beau
tifully situated and with the rich
and thickly settled territory sur
s'lrroun ding, there is every reason
TO believe it will soon come to the
'front.'.

In giving the regulations in re.
gard to the selection of the differ
ent grains for exhibition at the
Dry Farming Congress which is to
be held at Billings, October 26-2S,
an error was made, and instead of
cutting sufficient quantity, which
when cured to be three inches il
diameter, Mr.. Jordan informes us
that a considerable larger quantity
is required, and, while no exact
quantity is requested, Mr.. Jordan
suggests that an average size sheaf
be supplied.

Stock Report

Prospects are favorable for car
shortage. At least the railroads
anticipate it. You had better or
der your cars as far ahead as pos
sible.
Local sloughterers seem anxious
for fat steers and she stock. East
ern shippers are after fat heavy
beeves. Exporters are easily in
terested in either steers or COW stuff
suitable for their purpose. Feeder
buyers are showing more interest.
Put all offerings suitable for the
market on the cars.
A run of 1900 western range

final trading Of last week, prices
today showed a strong range. Top
beeves thus far this week $500,
against $6.35 last. The price diff
ference indicated that much differ
ence in quality. Cows and heifers
also held a firm range; best offered
at s.. 35 for heifers.

I wo Elevators
Ill Progress

For some time local parties have
| been considering the erection OF an
elevator IN Wibaux to handle the
the fall crop, but it seems they
could arrive at no definite conclu-
sion, owing to the great delay on
the part Of the railroad company in
deciding on the construction Of the
spur track, on which they were to
select the site. However, the spur
track is now assured and instead of
having one elevator, by local par
ties, q second one is also in pro-
gress.
The first site was awarded to
Messrs. Jordan, McFillin and 9th
ers, whose names We did not learn,
while the second now under con
struction is .being financed, pres
emily. by other business men Of the
town, who expect to take in every
farmer who SO desires to become
interested. If fact, we understand
that both organizations are desir-
Gus Of forming q farmers company
as quickly as possible, but in order
to allow ample time for construc
tion and have the elevators COM
pleted in due time for the first
marketing Of grains, construction
work could not be delayed, and in
consequence, the work on both
structures is progressing rapidly.
The company in which Mr.. Jor-
dan is interested will not at this
time erect a modern elevator, but
will have the up-to-date machinery
with every convenience, and later,
wnen the fall rush is over, it will
be altered. The present plans are
for a structure in the form of a fiat
warehouse, with a capacity Of 25,
600 bushels.
The other structure referred to
will be a modern elevator of 80. 900
bushels capacity, all modern plans
and up-to-date machinery. The
construction work on this was
awarded to the kalmen Construc
ton Co., who have large force of
men at work. Mr.. L. Fl. Nichols. |
Of Dickinson, will have charge Of
work on the other building. just
how soon the work on the new
spur will commence we cannot
state with any definite degree Of
accuracy, however, it will doubtless
be completed i'll due time.

School OF
Agriculture

We have received numerous let.
ters asking for further particulars
regarding the School of Agricul
ture course, that is to begin at the
Montana Agriculture College, Oc-
tober 10Th. Judging from the
correspondence, this course is Just
about the thing that a great many
young men in the state have been
looking for. To begin with, we
might say that all Of the work Civ
en- will be just as practical as pos
sible. This will cover all questions
pertaining to stock Judging, breed
ing. feeding and management; as
we'll rs all points regarding dry
and irrigated farming; grain breed
ing, seed selection, etc. Farm
Dairying will take up the handling
OF dairy stock, the milking ma
chine, farm butter and cheese, hand
separators, testing, etc. The Hor-
ticulture will take up the various
problems pertaining to Montana's
orchard conditions.
In addition a course in farm
blacksmithing and carpentry work
will be included; such things as
painting and drawing out plow
lays, sharpening drag teeth, max
ing clevices, ETC., together with
cutting rafters, making gates and
any other general farm work. 1t
must not be forgotten that along
with this practical work, will be
given a thorough course in English
and business methods.
1t will be the intention to have,
besides the regular course, some
thing each week of special interest
to farm boys For instance: Mr..
|. lngham. president of the a. B.
Clark Horse Sales Co., of Miles
City, man who has possibly brok-
Ell and handled more horses than
any one man in Montana, will give
lecture to the students on Mon
tana,s Horse Industry. He will
also give an exhibition of the prop
er method of breaking and handl-
ing horses and colts. Another
practical demonstration will be
given in handling steam engines
such as are used Oh many farms. |
The different experts representing
the different gasoline engine firms,
will take their engines to pieces
before the class and will thus give
the students proper instructions in
the handling and caring for such
engines. Practical butchering,
meat cutting and packing demon
strations will be given. There will |
be practical horseshoeing by a prac.
tical blacksmith.

ARRANGING THE Jdk
The SEASONS z
HINTS ON THE
TROUSSEAU
Gathered In New York
Shops
By HELEN D. PURDY

"tHCUGH there are brides all the
II year round II seems to be the
universal idea that only the girl
who enters that felicitous state
In the month of June needs to be es
pecially advised about her trousseau. AS
there are any number of charming young
women who manage the matter very
cieverly during the remaining eleven
months, one cannot help lurking sus
picion that very great deal Of the ad-
Vice so bounteously bestowed is more or
less unnecessary
wardrobe Required
The sensible girl of to-day has quite
comprehensive understanding of what
wardrobe is required, so little advice Is
needed, except about the wedding gown
and its accessories. There IS one sug-
gestion that will probably be super
fuous to the girl of sentiment, and that
Is to have as much of her trousseau as
possible home -made-self-made in many
Instances.
We are living in such a mechanical
age-even the Wedding March issues
from the horn of the phonograph-that
the ready-made appeals on every hand
as economy of time and labor. There
should be some sentiment stitched into
the outfit for the new estate, If it be
only that it may serve as certificate OF
skill m at least one of the household
arts.
Lifetime Outfit Unnecessary
There is no reason for supposing that
the bride-elect begins her planning from
an empty wardrobe, nor is there the ne
ceSSity for preparing an OUTFIT for life
time dozens Of everything are only for
the prodigal A girl who is employed at
business has little time to do her own
sewing, but she can and will do some
m preparation for her wedding Both
she and the girl who has lived at home
with parents and brothers and SIS
tiers will find, when she is alone IN her
own home, that there are many stray
moments that may be profta1ly and hap
pity devoted to plain sewing
Four sets of underwear will provide a
comfortable outfit, and, If necessary, one
can manage satisfactorily with three.
This will include nightdress, drawers.
Surset-cove chemise, short under-psetti
coat and long outer-petticoat. The list
may be varied, emitting, for instance, tfre
Chemise If the corset-cover and short
under-petticoat are provided, or unItrrg

petticoat or the drawers IN one OF the

sales when underwear may be bought at

Soft-hnish nainsook is incest for I'M
6erwear, except for long white petit
coats, and for these cambria is used. II
