their young, but it is advisable to
feed them alfalfa. Canadian peas,
any variety, is u good crop here. If
you have such field and will turn
your swine into it when the peas are
ripe, they will finish splenlitlly and
be ready for the market, and will
command fancy price.
The time is coming when the farm
ers of the Judith Basin are going to
grow beef. The price Of beef is high
at the present time, and there are rea-
sons for it, but the price Of beef is
not going to be cheaper for many
years, and believe if there is going
to be any change III the price of beef,
it is going to be up. If that is true,
it is a matter of importance that the
farmers should look into 1.-THE matter
OF growing beef. The beef of the flu
ture is not going to be grown OH open
range land, because you know the
time Of the open range is nearly gone.
Now it is fact that steers can be
grown that in ~ months will weigh
100 to 1900 pounds, and when shipped
into the market, of course lthey
would be ut the top Of the market or
they would not attain these weights,
and they are going to bring the
highest price OH the market. They
would probably bring & l-2c II bound,
or in other words, $1,000 for two
ypar-Old steer, less the cost of freight
for sending them to market, 50 there
is going to be money in producing
them; and there is going to be money
in milk and you farmers ought to he

heroine in the same play, has her
prototype in Il young woman employed

who was discarded by her wealthy
husband because she was not suffice

AS for the gruff and unrelenting pO-
lice captain, his double can be To-
Gated in almost any large city OF
America. Mr.. Klein says that wher-
ever lie sketches a character from
life, it lends tinge OF nature to the
play which a mere creation of the
dramatist's brain cannot possibly ac-
complish.
The characters in "The Third De
gree" stand out as human beings for
the very simple reason that they are
one and all transplanted to the dra-
matte stage from the broader and
more complex stage Of human exist
ence. 1t would indeed he difficult to
conceive a more charming, cOnvinc-
ing and natural heroine for any play
than Annie Jetfries, the splendid
specimen of young American woman

masterpiece, "The Third Degree

cultural department reports that last
year in the states in which elk are to
he found. only Montana. Idaho. Wyo-
ming and Oregon permitted them to be
hunted. In WyO. 3s4 elk were killed
no other statistics being available for
the other states. Reports show that
moose are in Montana, Idaho, Wyo-
ming and Michigan. Antelope are
still found in diminishing numbers III
fourteen western states. A consid-
cradle number were killed during the
year in Montana, where the species
seem to have suffered more than else
where. In Colorado the stock of an
telope has decreased from $4,000 t02,-
600 in the last ten years. The de-
mrtment estimates that there are now
only 1900 antelope in the country, as
follows: 1900 in Colorado, 100 in Ida
no, 1900 in Mexico, 1,500 in Oregon,
1000 in Wyoming, 1000 in the Yellow
stone park and 1000 in other states.
There were 2,O47 buffalo in existence
at the beginning of 1909 according to

ciety. During the summer attempts
were made to round up the remaining
buffalo of the Pablo Allard heard on
the Flathllead Indian reservation in

HILL LINES WILL MERGE
Rvmored that Great Northern and Burlington
viii Consolidate In Near Failure.


A rumor in railroad circle that will
not down is that the Great Northern
and Burlington, two of the greatest
railroads in the country are to be
merged in one great road. Both OF
the lines are now sO-called "iill
lines that is they are under the
management of the rail king, James
J. Hill or his cohorts. However. they
are operated as distinct lines. The
consolidation is not more than three
or four months distant at the most
according to reports from Chicago
and which are seemingly reliable.
The Northern Pacific, the Burling-
ton and the Great Northern, all "llill
lines" have an aggregate mileage in
the neighborl,oOd Ut 25,lOO miles.
The Great Northern and the North
prn Pacific were consolidated III the
Northern securities company only Il
few years ago, but the merger was
dissolved by the United states courts
on the grounds that the roads were
parallel and competing lines and the
interstate commerce laws forbid Il
merger of roads paralleling each
other aud natural competitors.
The Burlington and Great Northern
cannot, however, he termed parallel
lines, the tinanciers believe who are
working toward the consolidation, 1t
is stated.
The Great Northern has al almost
due east-west route from. st. Paul
to the Pacific coast while the Bnrling-
toms line westward is far to the
south, cutting through Nebraska. II
swings to the northeast rs it leaves
Denver. Col, finally terminating at
Billings, Mont. In no sense OF the
word can it be termed a. parallel and
competing line with the Great
Northern, is the claim Of officials 0f
the road, according to advices receiy-
ell here.-Great Falls Leader.

CUBAN FRUIT CROP SUFFERS.
Damage in Vicinity of Havana EST
mated at 81 200, 900.

Havana, Oct 1.-THE most serious
tornado since the big blow of October
II, 1906, struck Cuba early today, de
vastating the western portion of the
island. In Havana many minor build
ings were blown down or unroofed,
five persons were killed and about 25
were injured.
The greatest damage done was in the
harbor, where forty or fifty lighters,
many launches and small tugs were
either sunk or blown ashore.
At Sasa Blanca great anxiety was felt
throughout the day for the safety of
the Ward liner MORO Castle, from New
York, and of the Plant line steamer
Miami, from Key West.
Both of these steamers, however, ar
rived safely at $3.50 this afternoon.
The total damage in Havana and vi
entity is estimated at 100000.
Communication with the interior has
been interrupted, except with parts of
Havana and Pinar del Rio provinces
in which orange and other fruit crops
suffered severely.
There were heavy floods at Vuelta
Abajo, the tobacco region, but the to
baceo crop has not been seriously af
fected beyond the washing out of the
seed beds, which at this season of the
year may be renewed.
