R. ]. Daniels, Travelling Freight and
Passenger Agent of Milwaukee,
Says Forage Crop Is Light.
PRAISES JUDITH BASIN
This Section Has Come Through
Very Unfavorable Year in the
Best Possible Condition.

r. J. Daniels, travelling freight and
passenger agent of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & Puget Sound road, was in
the city last Friday, interviewing the
business men generally in the inter
est OF his road, and incidentally
frightening out any kicks that might
arise regarding freight patters. Mr..
Daniels expects to make his visits to
this city at more frequent intervals
in the future and will take up and
adjust all complaints attending freight
transportation over the Milwaukee.
Judith Basin Crops Excel.
Mr.. Daniels recently returned from
a trip through eastern Montana and
the Dakotas. When asked as to how
the Judith Basin crops compared with
the Dakotas and that part of the state
east of us, Mr.. Daniels said:
Eastern Montana has just passed
through one OF the most severe tests
in the history of dry land farming,
and the Judith Basin is about the
only section along our line in western
Dakota and eastern Montana that has
withstood the exceptional drouth
without any apparent loss in the grain
yield. There certainly is a pleasing
relief in the general aspect of the
country to the vision of the traveller
passing through the Dakotas and
eastern Montana when the Judith
Basin is reached On every hand one
cannot but note the activity incident
to the harvesting OF a big crop, and
from what | am told your winter
wheat crop is nearly as large as that
Of last year and the quality is much
better. while the farmers east OF you
have but little to show for their
labors.
Should Save Oat Straw.
Owing to the extremely poor
range conditions and the fact that

With their faces showing the eff
iects Of the western sun, clear of
eye and in splendid spirits, Lewis
towns soldier boys, members Of the
famous Company d Montana state
militia, arrived home last Sunday eve
ming from American Lake, Washing
ton, where they spent about ten days
at the annual encampment.
The trip was most enjoyable one
for all OF the boys. Every member
Of the company enjoyed splendid
health and stood up under the I'm
usual conditions of real soldier life
like the true blue fellows that they
are.
Make Splendid Record.
The record made by Lewistown's
soldier boys should be source of
city. The conduct OF the BOYS en-
route and in camp was exemplary.
Not one OF them saw the inside of the
guard house and none of them were
reprimanded for any laxity in the OBJ
servance of strict military rules.
Their work at the lake was such as
to call for admiration from even the
regulars who were present. Captain

able manner and all are loud in their
praise of their commanding officer.
Lieutenant Pittman speedily came to
be looked upon as one of the best
posted men among the ten or twelve
thousand there on military tactics,
while the work of Lieutenant Tilzey
and his two scouts. Collins and
Pomeroy. stood out in bold relief in
the strenuous work on the firing line.
Captain Croft was honored by be-
ing elected president of the National
Guard Association OF Montana, of
which H. c. Tilzev was chosen sec

Colonel G. II. Fcllowcs, a wealthy
Englishman. James Burr and J. l..

the purpose Of developing the ground
A visit to the property disclosed
an immense body Of ore III place,
turns Of $40 ounces silver and $6.4O
gold.
Notwithstanding that the gentlemen
desired to keep the information quiet,
the facts leaked out and Immediately
they were besieged by number Of
local citizens who wished to become
identified with the enterprise, and
stand ready to furnish all the money
required to exploit the ground.
Arrangements were completed last
Saturday whereby the parties hold
ing the option, by transferring halt
interest therein, have secured the
necessary capital for the purchase o
the propert,- and its development to
an extent that will conclusively
demonstrate its merit

OPENS SUBWAY BIDS TODAY
P. S. G. Expects Many Estimates
to Work with Public Money.

Bids are to he opened by the Public Ser
vice Commission at noon to-day for the
construction of the greater part of the tri-
borough subway system. Many bids are
expected despite the failure to receive any
bids for construction and operation last
THURSDAY Bids last week would have been
for the entire system and would have In
vOlved the expenditure Of private capital
to an amount estimated at something like
sl2o 100000.
The bids to-day will be for construction
alone with public money, and contractor
will be able TO get paid for about 80 per
cent of his expenditures at the close of
each month.
The work will be divided into sections. so
that there will not he the magnitude that
would have appalled, the ordinary con-
tractor in the job proposed last week.
The commission has decided also not to
attempt to let contracts for the entire work
for municipal construction this year, be-
cause of considerations connected with the
municipal debt limit. To make the best
use of the $G00O0OOO available the commits
sion has decided that it would be well TO
let contracts for the more difficult por-
tons of the system now and not begin
work on the elevated extensions for a year
or two yet. 1t will take four years TO
build the subways in business sections.

SAYS LAWYERS ARE NEGLIGENT
Magistrate Appleton Criticises Them
for Indifference TO Clients.

1T Is, in my opinion, quite safe to say
that the majority of the lawyers who earn
their living in the police courts of this
city are absolutely indifferent 10 the in
terests of their clients. and in many cases
come into court without even having read
the complaint preferred against the
client" said Magistrate Appleton at the
Jefferson Market court yesterday
The magistrate had reprimanded a law
yer in that court for not having made him
self familiar with the charge against the
man he WAS defending
Magistrate Appleton said lawyers would
soon he more attentive to dutN if the other
magistrates would reprimand those show.
