FORD AGENCY HERE.
F. A. Williams has opened head
quarters at 910 Second avenue for
the Ford car. More than a dozen
men have been after the agency for
this car, and an agency would have
been established last year had it
not been for the scarcity of ma
chimes, which made it impossible to
supply the Seattle district, without
branching out into a new field.
Mr.. Williams states that he has a

make this the distributing point for

GO WAY JOHNSON
AND QUIT F00L|N'
BY Tin WRIGHT,

Jack johnson says he is as fast
as Jim Corbett and can hit harder.
Therefore, argues Jack, he can beat
Jeffries, who went % rounds with
Corbett upon the occasion of their
first fight, before he landed the
punch that put Gentleman Jim"
out of the running.
If this is argument, why hire
lawyers? don't think | have heard
anything more humorous since Kid
Broad quit trying to speak English.
If the heavyweight champion is ac-
tually basing his hope of victory
upon this foundation his song after
the battle will be something like,
Woe is me-"
The Jeffries who hooked up with
the lightning conductor, Jim Cor
bett, in 1900, is not the Jeffries of
today. Not by long shot. Then
! he was practically novice, despite
the fact that he was the heavy
weight champion. Against a speed
peddler like Corbett, the big fellow
looked bad until, after trying to lay
a fist upon the dancing master, he
finally slipped over the kick that
, carried the decision and the
panther-like Corbett was cold.
But since that day Jeffries has
improved as boxer and ring gen
+ eral He discovered it was neces-
sary to box to keep from being dis
figured by the clever men. so he
went about it and schooled himself,
until today he Is the fastest big
man of them all. And this goes for
Johnson.
The idea of Jack Johnson, the
/ flat-footed scrapper, being as fast
as Jim Corbett would make me grin
If | didn't have a cracked lip.
Why, when Corbett was good, John
son would have choked to death
swallowing Jim's dust. The cham
pion is fast all right, there's no
question about it, but when he
makes a crack about being in Cor
belts class he lets himself in for a
balling out.
Just pin one little fact in your
memory: When JeffrieS and John

600 AUTOS FOR SPOKANE
DISTRICT, SEASON OF 1910

E Spokane auto dealers expect to
sell over 600 cars in this city and
vicinity during the season of 1910,
which means that the cars in use
will be almost doubled.
This city has been far behind in
the use OF autos, but with a big de-
mand for cars in 1910, and with
greater interest shown in motoring
each year, local dealers are very
optimistic about the future.
Automobile row is extremely
quiet these days, each dealer con-
centrating his energies on securing
enough 1910 cars for the spring
and summer trade. Last year it
was almost impossible to secure
cars for this district, but this sea-
son promises to be far different for
practically every factory in the
east has enlarged its factory and is

a $50 mile run over the deep sands
of the deserts, with a mountain
range or so to climb, negotiating
the distance in 10 hours and 10

Value of Alfalfa for Hogs.

Alfalfa is fed to hogs for the most
part in the green state, either as a
soiling crop or asa pasture. The hay,
however, constitutes Il maintenance
ration for hogs during the winter,
and, when fed on it, sOws enter the
spring farrOWing season in excellent
condition. Wherever possible, brood
soWs should secure alfalfa ut least
during the latterportion of the period
of CESSATION.
At the Kansas Agricultural Depart
ment Station it has been known that
an acre of alfalfa produced 77G pounds
Of pork during the season. This cal
culation was made by deducting the
probable gain due to the small ration
Of grain fed in connection with pas
tnrage. Another experiment showed
that for every bushel of katlir corn
meal and 7.s3 pounds of alfalfa hay
the hogs made Il gain Of 1888 pounds.
When the alfalfa was withheld from
the ration the gain was only 7.4S
pounds for each bushel of grain fed .

this kind appealed to them strongly.
The nearest hospitals to this impor-
tant railroad center are. in Lewis
town, Great Falls and Billings. \
hospital here will not only be con-
venient for the employees of both rail
roads, but for the people in the towns
up and down the Great Northern for
many miles, and the large tributary

have sufficient capital and experience
to make the enterprise success, and
they will be given every encourage
ment by the people of Judith Gap in
their laudable undertaking.

No place to lay his head

A SOUTHERN RAILROAD BOY
Who At One Time was IN Official Of the "cane
Belt Railroad" is With Us.

The following article was handed
to the Journal man by one Of our
prominent railroad boys. At the time
OF presenting the copy, the said in
dividual had his body guard with him,
and the two certainly made formid-
able appearance. The article is as
follows:
ut is understood that J. J. Beasley,
one Of the popular freight conductors
of the Billings division Of the Great
Northern railway, has invested in
town property, and that he would like
to see more of the railroad boys take
an interest in our ambitious city
which he says has Il great future.
"Mr. Beasley for many Yeas was
passenger conductor OH the Alligator
division of the Cane Belt railway in
the state o! Texas, and gradually
climbed the ladder Of promotion until
he became superintendent Of trans
portation Of the said line, but owing
to failing health had to seek north
ern cline. After enjoying Montana's
invigorating climate for Il few months.
he has decided that the Treasure State
is the only place on earth, and it is
reported that he is intending to move
his family here in the near future.
1T is many years since Mr.. Beasley
has stood OH the rear platform and
given the high ball. but his mind is
SO imbued with railroad life that even
during his recent sickness he had the
craving for the excitement of the rail.
There is no doubt, in due justice to
him, that he soon again will hold an
official position.

FACTS ABOUT A GREAT COUNTRY
A Writer IN the ''Wofid Today" Interestingly
Describes the Judith Gap Territory.

Here is the wondrOus Judith coun-
try, where valley and bench land both
yield their immense crops; one acre
gave up nearly one thousand bushels
of potatoes; wheat runs fifty per acre,
oats over eighty. And yet farm land
can be had in this district for twenty
dollars and upwards An acre. A man
has good chance to pay for his
whole farm with one rich crop. Let
no one say, with the random guess
ing of the uninformed, that these
heavy yields are due to the surface
scratching of new land; some of the
best are on the older farms, and be-
sides, soil that runs three feet deep in
the black, rs much of this does, will
not play out in few seasons.
Twenty years ago the phrase, "agri-
cultural Montana, would have been
a joke; today, though the mines are
still pouring out their wealth, you
can easily see that the hope of the
commonwealth is in the farms, the
people are just discovering their great
er riches. And in the farming regions
you can talk with many who will tell
you this man and the other who, COM
ing in only few years ago, started
rs Il hired man and buying his farm
on easy terms, is now an independent
farmer, lord of lands, cattle, horses
and bank account that has apparent
ly passed it's adolescence.
This is possibly because men recog-
nize today that the best way to get a
good living is not by taking huge
tracts and conducting bonanza ranch
es but by diversified and intensive
farming. Instead of putting all their
eggs into one basket, as of alfalfa or
of oats, they put eggs in one basket,
butter in another and garden truck in
another. Hogs and poultry always
pay. Besides the home market, there
are the many mining camps, always
ready to give good cash prices. Div
ersitied farming already returns big
profits here; men are cleaning up from
| two hundred to three hundred and
fifty dollars All acre Of small farms
| thus handled.
| The fact that poultry and eggs
bring huge returns, that garden truck
is successful and steadily raised, that
sheep range out all winter, ought to
answer any question as to climate.
But it is much more than endurabl
it is, with the clear skies and sun
shine, the embracing breezes and the
exhilaration Of mountain GOODNESS,
enjoyable, invigorating, and life CIV
ing.

SUMMER TILLAGE MAKES Big YIELDS
B. A. Sc0liard Advocates Narrowing Wheat
Until It Heads Out.

b. A. Scollard, in addressing the
farmers institute at Straw last week,
gave his experience in raising grain
without irrigation. He advised the
use OF the moldbOaM plow and the
shoe drill, with chains, not press
wheels. For new breaking heavy
steel drag, with a light wood drag for
later narrowing. Get out on the field
as early as possible in the spring and
continue as late as possible. Last
season he did this against the advice
OF his neighbors, narrowing his wheat
until it was heading out and lay over
the way the harrow had gone. His
grain yielded 80 bushels to the acre
while his neighbor on the same kind
of soil, etc, but without this summer
tillage got only s3 bushels to the acre.
He advocates the use of the combined
harvester and thresher which he
claimed saved one-fourth of it's cost.
His last years crop cost him 2 cents
bushel for cutting and threshing.
He uses an engine in running his out :
fit. These combined outfits cost
about s2,0M each.
