ADJUSTMENTS
Vaudeville Farce.

Honolulu residents are to have a
taste of genuine high class vaudeville
at the Opera House on Tuesday night
when the Armstrong and Verne COM
pany win make its first appearance
here The members are returning to
Australia from an extended visit to
the mainland playing in the big cities
spirits in JOY plays.
There is nothing serious in the mem
bers. Armstrong would bring a smile
to the face of the Kamehameha statue
if the statue would look his way, and
the rest of the company are not far
behind'him. The program viii be made
up of an opening and closing sketch,
both very amusing, and there will be
refined vaudeville between. Mr.. Arm
strong has with him some of the very
latest of George Cohan's hits in songs
and will sing them. George Conan, be
it remembered, is one of the best
comedians on the American stage to-
day and a, drawing card wherever he
appears. Miss Verne is soubrette of
a very high class, sparkling with fun
and good humor always.
Performances will be given Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday evening, a
complete change of program at every
performance. The program will be
void of serious business, not a member
of the company can be serious, so it
is bound 10 be an entertainment that

vidual forget his troubles. Seats will

After this and another bunch of verT

The Dance Tonight.
To many ladies and gentlemen a
dance after a day of hard work is rest
and recreation combined This is
especially so when the dance is to
music as delightful as that furnished at
the Waverley dance hall by the Hawai-
hau quintet club of which Sam X.
Nainoa is leader The hall grows
in popularity daily, or nightly, and the
attendance increases. On Saturday
night the affair was recherche and the
enjoyment was increased by the fact
| that especially good dancers were pres
| ent. The music seemed better than
ever. It seems that hint in a news
paper is often of more help in regu-
| lating an institution of this kind than
when the hint is direct and by word OF
mouth Go to the Waverley and have

will enter upon life with a wealth of
tradition such as is seldom found in
the new settlements of the state.
In the summer Of eighteen and
seventy-nine, before there was any
Northern Pacific railroad or any Bill
ings, Mr.. Murphy then young man,
brought small herd of cattle into
the Musselshell country. The valley
was new, no other cattle men were
grazing their herds there, and Mr.
Murphy determined to make it his
headquarters, provided he could find
a suitable spot in which to winter his
cattle. After exploring the country
for some weeks he clanced to come
upon the region of Big Coulee creek,
a stream in the northwest part of
Yellowstone county, and a tributary
of the Musselshell. The valley is,
like the Yellowstone, near this city,
surrounded with lofty rimrocks, and
when Mr.. Murphy first looked over it
from the crest of rocks he saw thous-
ands of elk grazing in luxuriant grass.
The spot looked good to Mr.. Murphy,
and here he brought his cattle and
established his ranch
The ranch house was built in the
same year, and for lack of a better
name, Mr.. Murphy called his head
quarters "Seventy-nine." The name

course of a few years cattle marked
80" were grazing over the nearby
hills.
The story of the growth of the
ranch is similar to that of any other
successful western cattle business.
The rich pature land proved to be
money-maker, year by year the num-
ber of cattle increased, and it is said
that when the ranch was at the
height of its productivity Mr.. Murphy
was feeding twenty thousand head of
head of sheep and about five thous-
and horses and mules. AS settlement
of the country increased Mr.. Murphy
began purchasing the alternating
sections of railroad land, and at the
time the first sale of the Murphy
tract was made to the dry land farm
ers the title to over one hundred and
twenty thouand acres rested in his
name.
Like all other far. sighted cattle men,
Mr. Murphy realized that the cattle

The sheet and pillow case dance,

Within the course of week the Of
fetal plat of the new town Of Seventy
nine will be submitted to the county
clerk for filing, says the Billing Gaz-
ette. To the man unacquainted with
the former greatness of the Mussel-
shell valley as one of the finest cattle
ranges of the west, this statement
will perhaps appear only in the light
of another indication that the coun-
try is growing, that. new settlers are
demanding trading center where
formerly there was none, and some
far-sighted business man has recOgniZ.
ed this demand and prepared to place
on the market a town which will
serve as the gathering place for the
dry farmers of newly cultivated dis
trict.
But to the pioneers of the country
to the men who were before dry
farming was thought of. and who
have seen the slopes of the north
dotted with thousands of cattle, the
filing of the plat bears far different
message. 1t tells of the final surrend-
er of the grazing lands to the agricul-
turist, it SPEAKS of the invasion of
the plow boy into the former realms
of the cowboy, it heralds the passing
of the old to the new order of things.
For Seventy-nine is no longer the
ranch house of one of the greatest cat
tie barons of the west; il has passed
into the hands of the farmer and will
soon be commercial center of many
well-tilled farms, the gathering point
of the newer generations of pioneers.

the past few years, lived on his ranch,
for the financial success with which
he has met since going into the cattle
business in this state has warranted

and winters in Florida and on the
Pacific coast. But since the days the

AN EXTRA SESSION
Message Of Governor Edwin L. Norris to the Eleventh
Legislative Assembly Of the State Of Montana in
Extraordinary Session December 27, 1909
To the Eleventh Legislative Assembly

To the Eleventh Legislative Assembly
in Extraordinary Session:
You have been convened in extra
ordinary session, in accordance with
the request of a large majority of the
members of this Assembly. for the
purposes stated in the call, as follows:
"First. TO consider and, if found
desirable, to appropriate such addi-
tional sum as may be necessary to
permit the purchase of materials Of
every kind or character produced or
nufactured in Montana that may
be used in the construction of the
Capitol additions and to make any
amendments to the Act authorizing
the construction of said additions the
Legislative Assembly in it's wisdom
may deem advisable.
Second To make an appropria-
tion for the support of the Publicity
Department and for advertising the
resources of the State for the fiscal
year 1910"
You have therefore committed to
the State Board of Examiners the
duty of building the additions to the
Capitol. The Board is now perform
ing that duty. With every act of the
Board SO far performed, and with
every arrangement so far made for
the construction of the wings, l have
at all times been in absolute accord.
You have not been convened on ac-
count of any dissatisfaction on my
part with anything that has been
done, or with anything that has been
arranged for by the Board.
The enactment of the law authoriZ-
ing tie construction of the wings,
any amendment that may be deemed
necessary to be made thereto, the
providing of funds to pay the cost of
construction, and any and all regula-
tions relative to the amount that
may be paid for labor or materials,
are purely legislative functions.
| have been constrained to grant
your;request and give you opportunity
to assemble and exercise your best
Judgment, rather than to deny your
petition and thereby arrogate TO my
self legislative prerogative.
Full authority has been given you
in the call to enact amendments, pro-
vide additional funds, select mater
ials, and make or change any regula'
tions that in your Judgment may
seem advisable,

Roundup Sunday of this week where
Mr.. Curtis will manage the plumbing,

department in the large hardware
store at that place.
Mr.. Curtis has been plumbing and

best, while Mrs Curtis has, for the
past year, been in the employ of the
Urner Mercantile Company as man

The report of the Board of Examin-
ers, showing what has been done and
the plans that have been outlined for
the furtherance of it's duty, is sub
mitted herewith. Your approval or
further directions now seem in order.
In my opinion, the Board has in
every instance followed the plain pro-
visions OF the law heretofore enacted
by you, and further responsibility is
now committed to the Legislative
Assembly, the supreme authority.
That some of the material entering
into the construction of the wings
can be produced elsewhere cheaper
than Montana materials of like kind
and quality, seems to be an unques-
toned fact. Whether advisable to
pay higher price for materials pro-
duced or manufactured in Montana
than that for which materials of like
kind and quality can be produced
elsewhere, and, if SO, how much, you
only, in view of the law now in force,
may decide.
submit that if you deem it advis-
able to make an additional appropria-
tion sufficient to purchase any or all
Montana-produced or manufactured
materials that may enter into the
construction of the wings, common
fairness and the exercise of a sound
| business discretion seem to demand
that opportunity be given to any and
! all Montana producers or manufac-
turers of such materials to submit
! bids for furnishing the same.
| Any producer or manufacturer of
materials who is not willing to sub
NIT to fair competition as between
all producers and manufacturers of
like materials in his State, would
seem to be actuated more by selfish
reasons than by the sense of fairness
usually obtaining among business
men.
For your information, it should be
said that on April %, when the
second issue of Capitol bonds was of.
fered for sale, no bid other than that
of the State was made therefor. The
following figures show the condition
of the public building land gran,

First bond issue, six per
cent. .......... ...... $3.50, 600 OF
Second bond issue, five per
cent. 500, 900. OF

BIG CROPF0R STATE
Professor Thomas Shaw, An Editor for the Dakota Farmer
Makes Prophesy Of Future Crop Production
in the Great Treasury State

No state has been so miSunderst ood
with reference to its agriculture as
Montana. This statement applies not
only to those who dwell without the
state; but to the people of Montana
themselves. They have cherished the
view that Montana was only adapt ed
to grazing, and that it could never
become an agricultural stale i'm the
sense of growing grain. But what are
the facts? Grain is now being grown
on the dry farming plan that in point
of yield and quality is astonishing the
people of the state. 1t is true of
course, that recent years have been
unusually moist. But the experiment
farms established in Montana have
shown that good crops of winter
wheat may be grown in seasons that
are very dry.
The past season, excellent crops of
grain have been grown in many locali-
ties where until recently it was
thought that grains never could be
grown without the aid of water.
Some of these crops have yielded
enormously. c. M. Sedgewick, of
Lloyd, near Havre, obtained 81 BUSH
els of winter wheat per acre from l-2
acres. S. S. Hobson in the Judith
Basin threshed 81 bushels of winter
wheat from each of IS acres. The ex-
pertinent station at Moccasin in the
same basin obtained 60 bushels per
acre. These yields are, of course, ex-
ceptionally large, but that they can
be obtained at all shows that high
producing power of the soil.
These crops can only be produced
on the dry farming plan. The aver
age rainfall in much of the country
is about Is inches per year. On that
amount of rainfall good crops cannot
be successfully grown except through

COURT PROCEEDING
Two Cases Were Filed Against Carl Whitman Monday Morn
ng He Receiving 80 Days---Frank N. Sipple
Also Draws so Days.

Quite a sensation was caused in the
city Friday, December the Oath, when
a suit case belonging to Laur ence
Jackson, who has for some time, been
in the employ of Superintendent R.
A. Good of the c. M. g. p. S. Bridge
and Water system on this division,
was stolen. This was not a grand
larceny case, no but something, con-
sidered in the minds of the public,
worse, as the suit case was filed with
small Christms gifts. The perpetra-
tors of this petit larceny were Frank
Sipple and Carl Whitman, both of
whom have been in the city a few
weeks.
1t seems that Laurence, in company
with Supple and Whitman had been
around the town until train time, as
Jackson was going to take that train
east, the two walking quietly with
hin to the depot and were standing
talking, when Jackson walked to the
east end of the platform, and upon
his return discovered to his utmost
surprise that not only Whitman was
gone but also his suit case. Whit
man and Sipple were as soon as pos
sible placed under arrest, where it
was found that Whitman was carry
ing 80 calibre Smith & Wesson
revolver. Monday trial was held at
the court house in the Jail before
Justice of the Peace Rightenour,
Sipple receiving 60 days in the county
bastile, and Whitman getting 30
days for carrying concealed weapons
and 60 for petit larceny making a
total of 80 days.
After sentence was passed Deputy
Sheriff M. NJ. johnson took both of
these men to White Sulphur Springs
there to serve their time.

the most careful conservation of the
moisture that falls. The land on
which crops are grown must be sum-
mer fallowed the previous year or
must be given treatment equivalent
to summer fallowing. Such treat
ment includes the CROWN of anv
crop, as corn, that must be cultivated
during the process of its growth The
moisture thus conserved will grow
large crop of grain the following year.
This applies to various kinds of grain
as wheat, oats, barley, rye, speltz.
The bench lands are best adapted to
growing these grains in the absence
of irrigating waters.
The extent of these bench lands is
not well understood by the outside
world. 1t is not understood by many
in Montana. The area of all the ar
able lands in Montana has been set
down at "a 4000,000 acres. The acreage
OF these lands is unquestionably much
larger. 1t is more, rather than less
than 80, 100000 acres. OF course i'm an
area where much of the land is un-
surveyed, it is not possible to get at
the facts other than in an approxi-
mate way. There are good reasons
for believing, nevertheless. that 20.
100000 acres of arabic lands lie with
in 100 miles of the Canadian boundary
between North Dakota and the Rocky
mountains. OF this area about 2,O0O,-
600 can be put under the ditch. The
balance must be framed, if farmed at
all, on the dry land plan.
Thus farmed, it is my conviction
every acre of this land may be made
to produce crops. The farmer will
not get crop every year on all the
land as he must summer falloW it,
but he Will get a crop two years i'm
