too busy making money and having
good time.
All of which we think we believe,
bu5 when pinned down to brass tacks
it's gray horse of another color. Of
course, we don't believe in it, but if
we had our choice between Friday and
Saturday, rs the time to begin jour
ney, we'd choose Saturday naturally.
not desiring to fly in the face of prov
idence. Except for that, however, we
aren't supsrstitious about a single thing.
No indeed! In walking down town,
though. we would 90, around u ladder
that happened to be- leaning up against
IL building. Anybody would. Why,
our grautlm others told us it was unlucky
to walk nnler a ladder, and while we
don't believe in such things, still we
wouldn't d. it. And as for crossing
through funeral procession, that is
very different. It Is so gruesome to
think of the old saying that one who
walks through a funeral will die before
the year is out. We'd wait, of course,
although if we were ina big hurry we
might skip through. because we know
how absurd those superstitious ideas
are. r,., ~. ~ .., ~ .
Then, there's the question of sitting
down with thirteen at the table. We
really wouldn't do that, you know.
Not because we were afraid, but we
once knew man who was the last to
sit down with thirteen and within
twelve months he was run over and
killed by railroad train. We would
not be afraid to do it, but we'd feel I'M
comfortable, of course.
And that's the way it goes, clear
down the line. AS a matter of fact,
we're one of the most superstitious
nations in the world We not only are
about omens of evil, but
doubly So about omens of good. Nearly
every business and professional man
believes in god signs and to greater or
less extent shapes his affairs by them.
For purposes of publication, we are too
rational and possessed of too much
common sense to give any thought to
signs, but i'll our every day lives we
pay as much attention to them as any
people anywhere. OF course, we don't
believe in them, but just the same we
go right along walking around the lad
ders, remaining away from the table
that already accommodates twelve
people, starting on journeys on Thurs
day or Saturday in preference to Friday
and making il wish when we see the
new moon over our right shoulder.
But we're not superstitious! Not
bit of it!--St, Joseph Gazette.

THEBOX SUPPER
PROVED A GRAND SUCCESS AND EVERY.
ONE had A GOOD TIME. $14s
WAS REALIZED.

The box social given by this
society Friday night was a grand
success, both socially and fnan-
cially.
The program was interesting
and was almost entirely volunteer
given by the school children who
have many duties to preform and
yet are always willing to do
what they can to help along a
good cause which is appreciated.
After the program T. J.
Martin who always assists on
these occasions with his usual
good nature and wit sold the
baskets to the highest bidder,
all bringing a good price, espec-
tally the six very simple looking
grape baskets which brought
something like $50. The young
gentlemen who were thus sep
arated from their coin seemed
we'll pleased with the bargain
1--WE do not blame them.)
After the ladies baskets we're
sold, the little people had a
chance to buy a supper. The
little girls had made every effort
to make their baskets look invit-
ing and each little lad had come
well'prepared to get a basket. All
the lunches being sold, everyone
proceeded to hunt his partner
while the ladies served hot coffee
for the croud which despersed at
a late hour expressing them
selves we'll please with the eve
nings entertainment.
The proceeds were S145 and
We wish to thank everyone who
helped to make it such a great
success. The members of the
Aid have worked hard to keep
up the interest, and have little
money in the treasury and with
out the hearty support of the
public they could not have accom-
plished much. Again we thank you
for past favors and trust we
may have the same generous help
in the future.

STATE PRODUCT
AS TOLD BY A MINNEAPOLIS PAPER OF A
RECENT DATE. MONTANA IS
PROSPEROUS.

Montana has 80, 900. 600 acres
of arabic land that is being
brought under iraigation.
The state, for ten years past,
has yielded, as the average per
acre. 26.7 bushels of wheat, 49
bushels of oats, and 1876 bushels
of barley.
The yield per acre for Montana
wheat, 26.7 bushels, for ten
years past is the highest of any
state. 1t was twice as high as
the average for the entire coun-
try, and far greater than Russia
or France.
The yield per acre for Mon
tana oats is the highest in the
world, excepting only Belgium.
At "A bushels it is more than
double that of the Uni ed States
as a whole.
In barley, Montana with 1876
bushels shows an acreage yield,
the greatest in the world, except
ing Belgium and nearly double
that of the United States as a
whole.
Montana averages 175 bushels
OF potatoes to the acre.
Montana contains the follow
lrg land area Total, 5000, 600
acres; wooded, $4,000, 600: forest
reserve, 20, 38c, 900: unsurveyed
and unavailable, $4,000, coo acres;
arabic land, 10000. 900 acres.
Thirty million acres of arabic
land in wheat, producing at the
average rate of 26.7 bushels to
the acre, the record for the
state for the past ten years
would mean 800,O00,OO bushels.
The entire United States, in
It's best year never produced
that much. Even on basis of
q production of 1873 bushels to
the acre, which is the average
for the entire United States,
Montana alone has potentiality
that represents Ala, 100000 bush
els.
The 80, 100000 acres of Mont

Of production Of %. 7 bushels. the
average for the United States
would produce I'll, 600, 600 annu-
ally compared viii a crop of
S)7, 600, 600 bushels for the en-
tire country. But on the basis
OF a yield of 40 bushels to the
acre, which is the average rate
Of production Of Montana for the
pas, ten years, the crop would
be l, l,74O, 0OO,0O bushels.
The barley crop varies from

the rope. Each of the contestants
were compelled to throw several
times before they caught the animal,
in the meantime the steers were
pretty we'll run down, which took
away the exciting part of the con-
test.
Following the sports at the park,
the audience moved to C street
ranged for a number of races. The
large crowd which assembled made
it almost impossible for those III
charge to keep the track open.
The first event pulled off, was a
quarter mile dash for all horses in
the district, which was o by
Commiskey's Duke, with Hickman's
buckskin a close second. Owing to
the difference in time caught by the
various stop watches, it is impos-
sible to give the exact time made.
$50 and $25 were the purses given
for this race.
The 100 yard dash for purses of
$15. $40 and s. was won by ALT
Sturm, with j. Walsh and MOTIFS
Roberts getting second and third.
Time il seconds fiat.
100 yard dash for boys under 16,
John Stebbins came first with John
Malone second. Time IA 40.
In the three legged race, Sturm
and Walsh passed the tape first with
Neil and Sanders second.
What proved to be the exciting
contest, was the tug of war between
the Smelter and Nevada Northern
ball teams. At the commencement
of the test, it looked very much as
though the boys from McGill were
going to be the winners but little
by little the railroaders began to
pull the string their way and when
the five minutes were up, the string
was about fivei inches on the Nevada
Northern side.
The catching Of the creased pig
afforded a world of amusement to
the crowd. The pig had no more
gotten out of the box, when Andy
Fesler and Tony Merialdo got busy
with the aforesaid pig, one with its
hind legs and the other with its
fore legs. The crowd did not think
the pig had been given a fair shake
and insisted on its being given an
other chance. This was done and
this time Fesler was not so fortunate
as Tony, as a result, Tony has a pig
worth about IS and is out a new
suit of clothes costing the neighbour
hood of $50. The suit had every
semblance of having been packed
for several months in a can of lard.

solitude of his handsomely appointed

they passed.

Duke "cantah' towards the starting
flag.
John Short the Official starter had
taken a prominent part in the
broncho busting and steer tieing
contests and appeared at the starting
post mounted and with lariet still
in his hand, and thinking he was in
another steer tieing contest, deftly
threw his lariet and snubbed Baird's
Badly to the starting post.
Whether this is true or not, Baird's
horse never left the post and the
rest were off in a bunch.
The crowd stood breathless while
the horses tore off the first furlong
in a little less than nothing, with
the buckskin in the lead by a nose,
Pluto second, the Duke third half a
length away. they entered the stretch
in the same position and fairly
burned it up with the Duke gaining

in but not until the crowd had gone
