A STATE ROAD

Billings May 6.-Not by any man
ner of means have Billings citizens
with whom the idea originated. piv-
en- up the matter of state highway.
particularly the one suggested that
would extend in an easterly and
westerly direction across the COM
monwealih from the Dakota to the
Idaho line, and the proposition will
be brought to The attention of the
q God Roads convention, together
with plans for constructing the same
and financing it. 1t is believed such
road would be of almost untold BEN
eft to the entire srate.
This idea of great state road GOO
or more miles in length, is by no
means an irridiscent dream nor the
speculation of a thecrist," said
prominent member of the local
chamber of commerce today. ''On
t he contrary it is something that is
practical, and it's construction should
be viewed in something else than the
light of mere possibility.
The citizens of Kansas and of
colorado are preparing to construct
great aut, nobile l.; .hway that will
reach entirely across the state of
Kansas and into The Centennial
state to Denver. 1t is believed bv
these cit izors that such highway will
be great asset to their states. and
if it is true in that case, why not i'm
Montana, which just now is attract
ing more attention than any other
state in | e entire west. Good roads
are an absolute necessity if this
state is to be settled by class of
citizens that are desirable and that
will be of the permanent kind, and
the state highway is feasible, practi-
cal, and can lie built if the people
just make up their minds to that
end
Those in touch with the situation
declare that great interest has leen
a wakened throughout the state. The

their influence in causing some plan
to be evolved to bring about a genei-

of material, this point will receive
careful conside ration, and there is
no doubt that "a campaign will fol-
low the meeting which will mean
better roads in all parts of the Treas

THE NEW JUDGE

Carl Raseh, Montana's new In
tied States district Judge, was born
43 years ago in Schleswig- Holstein
Germany, where he attended the
common schools and later the uni
versity, but before he completed his
course, at the age of IS, he emigrat-
ed to this country. coming west to
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A short ii e
later he entered the Cornell univer-
sity at Mount Vernon. Iowa, and on
completing the course there he en-
tered the Lake Forest Law school at
Chicago.
After receiving his degree he came
to Montana and located at Helena,
where he has since made his home.
In 1901 Mr.. Rasch was appointed as
sistant United States district attor-
ney for the district of Montana un-
der H. B. Rogers term, was appoint
ed in 1906, but served only two
years, resigning to engage in the
practice of law with Nj. S. Gum.
Judge Hunt, in speaking of Mr..
Rasch's appointment says: He will
make a learned, upright and wise
Judge. He argued many cases be-
fore me and | have watched his ca
reer with great interest. He has
made good in every trust
Representative Pray expresses him.
self thus: Carl Rasch is an excel
lent choice for the Montana Judge
ship, and will in every way fill it
with honor and Justice"

Orchard Planted

Dan Mckay, architect, politician,
rancher, orator, apostate republican,
brickmaker, and erstwhile newspa-
per man, has added horticulture to
the list of crafts, arts, and sciences
that he now enjoys and though but
an amateur, it is safe to predicta re-
markable degree of success for him
in this latter acquisition. He has
planted an orchard of one hundred
and sixty apple, cherry and plum
trees on his ranch near town and will
irrigate it with water from we'll
he is having drilled. If the products
of this orchard equal the products Of
Mr.. McKay's skill in 9th er lines of
work we shall expect fruit of finest
quality and rare favors.

Growing Flax on Sod

The ewcomer who expects to SOW
flax on his breaking may be H.
terested in reading the testimony of
a correspondent in the Dry Farming
Congress bulletin. A man from Wy
oming writes as follows:
The farmers in southeastern Wyo-
ming who have gone into dry farm
ing in general way have quite uni
versally adopted flax as one of the
crops for the first season. They report
that it has given sp!e. did yields,
and, as a quick growing money crop,
is one of the best they have tried.
1t grows quickly in short season
and requires no special implements
for handling, and is, therefore, a
very convenient crop to control. If
l were to have but one plow for
making the seed bed, | would, by all
means, employ the moldboard plow:
The moldboard plow makes more
complete Job of blowing and, as a
rule, draws easier than the disc
plow. At the same time it leaves
the land in better condition for har-
rowing and preparing the seed bed.
An expert employed by the L. S.
department of agriculture gives this
advice:
For flax, the sod should be broken
to a depth of about four inches and
double disced and narrowed until a
good seed bed has been prepared;
then seed with drill at the rate of
two pecks to an acre. After the
plants have reached the height of
about one inch, narrowing after each
heavy storm until the plants are
about three inches high will prove
beneficial. The methods of harvest
ing fax are those used in the har-
yesting of wheat, oats or any other
of the ordinary field crops.

THE MUSE OF COMMERCE

Old Mrs. Manx was afraid of the Banks
And she said, Not for my money:
I'm a wise queen bee and the stunt for me
Is to hive up my own honey"
So she saved her dimes, and at divers times
On busy days she would wend her
Way to the bank, and with gall most rank
Exchange them for Legal Tender
These Bills shed press with soft caress,
Quite close to her beating heart, or
Hold them while and on them smile,
Then put them beneath her garter.
But one day the garter gave way,
And the Bills in the street were scattered;
And all she found when she look ed around,
Was five spot. torn and tattered
She grabbed the wreck. with about a peck
Of dirt thereto appended,
And in the sun, did marathon
Till at the Bank she ended
With rush and bounce at the New Account
She landed and cried. "One for me!
My Bank has busted: I'm sure disgusted
With Elastic Currency
Moral! While this accident did not occu
in Malta, do not delay the opening of that nev
account at one Of our banks.

a reason for this--better ask Kilduff.

should and does intend to cultivate the
friendship and cooperation of the
small farmer.
No town can prosper or develop in
a rural community unless the rural
community prospers and develops,
and the citizens of NeWberry, and par
ticular1y the business men, should do
everything in their power to encour-
age the development Of the rural COM
munity tributary to the city by the
building of better roads which will
result in the building Of good school
houses and churches and when these
are once secured there will not be so
great a tendency on the part Of our
young people to leave the farms for
the cities and towns.

The city Of Augusta is very much
dissatisfied with the census which
was taken by the federal government
and which showed that instead Of an
increase in population during the past
ten years there had been a decrease
There was so much dissatisfaction
among the citizens that it was decided
to take a voluntary census and last
Sunday was set apart for this volun-
tary census.
The result of the work of the 800
voluntary enumerators taken from all
classes of citizens is that the federal
enumerators missed 3,469 people. This
voluntary census shows q population
Of 1925 as against the official count
of the federal enumerators Of 37,403
and 39,441 as the official census of ten
years ago.
Nc doubt, the same is true of other
cities.
