Through passenger service to the
Pacific coast was established by the
Puget Sound road Sunday, when the
train which has been running out of
Butte to Alberton continued on to

in Butte every morning at 100 and
arrive at 1000 as usual.

stage, although considerable work yet

The executive committee of the
Musselshell Valley Business Mems
Association met in Attorney w. c..
Husbands office last week Friday, for
the purpose of discussing the PROPOSE
tion of making collection of grain
and vegetables raised near Harlow, to
be placed in the Milwaukee adver-
tising car. The committee made a
small appropriation to carry this work
through and appointed W. G. Hus-
band to take charge of the collecting
of specimens. Every farmer in this
vicinity should take enough interest
in this to at least bring in few
samples. 1t will mean great deal
to Harlowton and adjacent country to
have good display of grains and
vegetables in this advertising car.
The following are few rules which
should be followed in selecting pro-
ducts for the car:
l. Preparing Sheaf Exhibits of
Grain.
Select desirable heads just as the
grain enters the yellow ripe stage.
Choose we'll filled heads that will
make god representative showing
for the type of grain which you de-
sire to exhibit. Cut the straw close
to the ground so as to exhibit full
length of straw, or if the grain has
been cut, select best heads with stems
long as possible. Make samples not
to exceed 200 heads. Tie with soft
cloth or narrow ribbon just under
heads, at butts and in center of bun
die and place in darkened room to
cure or ripen. When time permits,
unite the bundle, spread out, moisten
straw by sprinkling and strip all ad-
herring leaves, polish each straw with
soft cloth and re-bind the bundle with
any narrow ribbon or appropriate
color, tying firmly in at least three or
four places. See that all heads are
evenly placed making one compact,
circular bush. This is very important.
DO not use string in tying bundles of
grain. See that each sample is neatly
and correctly labeled, wrap in thin,
soft cloth and suspend, with heads
down, in free current of air in dry
place and out of the bleaching effect
of the sun.
2. Preparing Sheaf Exhibits OF
Forage.
Select the most leafy types to be
found in the field, taking best and
mostly erect individual specimens
obtainable. Cut close to the ground,
put in a loose bundle not more chan
four or five inches i'm diameter, loosely
wrap in paper or thin porous cloth
and hang in the dark to cure. T(
retain color, forage samples must bt
dried or cured in the dark, but witt
plenty of dry air. When well cured
select the individual stems that have
retained the best leaves with theil
leaf color and make up exhibit bun
dies inches In diameter. DO mo-
strip single leaf or branchiet from

 The entire heavens were lighted up as if by the sun, the rays of the moon being dlmmed while the object was passing through the air.
 Was Seen In Several Towns.
 Messages received here from Hope, Lockesburg, Min era l Springs aud Murfreesboro state that the light was seen and the  explosion heard at these places.
 A peculiar feature of the phe- nomenon was that a rumbling sound, as of distant thunder, con- tlnued tor several seconds after the explosion.
 The location at which the meteor fell has not yet been learned here.
