AVERAGE CROPS IN MONTANA.

Washington, Aug. 13.-CrOp condi-
tions for Montana, announced today
by the department of agriculture show
the effect of the long drouth and the

were not for the high average upon
irrigated ranches.
The aggregate of crop conditions in
Montana, August l, as compared with
the 10-year average, is SO; the neigh
boring state of North Dakota is SO
per cent below the average. In Mon
tana corn has dropped to 70, as COM
pared with SO in 1909. Spring wheat
IS, last year SO; oats 73; last year
81; barley 76; last year 9S; potatoes
73, last year 81; hay 72; last year
100. Hay acreage Is unchanged from

Condition of timothy is 73 and al
falfa 76. Apple crop condition Is 60

DEFINITION OF GRASS WIDOW

This story is told in the Macon
(Mo) Herald of the late Bishop w.
w. Duncan of the Methodist Episcopal
church.
When Bishop Duncan first went to
Texas to preside at conference there
he was suffering severely with hay
fever. He was of a nervous DISPOSE
ton and referred to his ,nalady with
such frequence that it became a bit
tiresOme to tie preachers. A brother
got up to make report and in the
course of it he used the term grass
widow
Grass widow!" cried the bishop.
I've heard that expression used half
a dozen times since I've been here.
never heard it before. Will you
please tell me sir, what a grass Wild
ow is?"
The offending brother looked as
calm and as serious as an undertaken
during the storm of laughter whcih
the bishops speech had developed.
When things quieted down he said,
very gently:
"A grass widow, bishop. is wom-
an whose husband has died with hay
fever

CANNED MUSIC FOR COWS.

Several Michigan farmers have
found new and profitable use for
monographs. The canned music
machines are placed in the cattle
barns and ragtime selections, brass
band music and grand opera rendered
for the benefit of the COWS while they
are being milked. This is said to
cause them to give down" their milk
with surprising results in the way Of
increased output. Some of the agri-
culturists and dairymen who have
been trying the plan have declared
that cows are good judges of music
and that they Immediately recognize
the voices of Caruso and other great
artists, expressing their appreciation
by an increased flow of milk. Those
who have been trying out the venture
will not tell what singers the cows
listened to when they gave the least
milk.

BEST DAIRY STATE IN UNION.

In addition to being at the head of
the list in several other things Mon
tana stands first as an ideal state for
the dairy business, and this is vouched
for by no less an authority than the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Sometime since Joel J. Kinkjer,
a dairy expert, was sent out by the
United States department of agricul-
ture and were his reports to be made
of any other state in the Union the
hallelujah croy would go up to reach
from the Atlantic to the Pacific
from the Gulf of Mexico to the home
of Chief Jig Jog on the Blackfeet res
ervation Mr. Kinkjer, making official
report upon the dairy possibilities OF
Montana, says:

agriculture for a long time. l have
been inspector of dairy products In
different states, but | have never had
experience with as good products as
those furnished by the farmers in this
state.
"The cream is without an equal In

the very favorable seasons and other
climatic conditions of Montana. The
water is cold and the forage is most
excellent and the dry climate prevents
the various forms of disease so com
mon in some of the eastern states.
'In my trip l only saw one cause
that tends to keep down the dairy in
dustry and that is inefficient help II
the creameries and dairy supply
houses. The people will have to ge
educated to hiring only those butter
makers who are competent to get bes
results from the machinery"
In conclusion Mr.. Kinkjer declared
with natural conditions favorable
for the best curing of hay, with th'
excellent water supply, transporta
ton facilities, as they are found there

FAVORING NECESSITIES.

Washington, Aug. 1S.-President
Taft asserts that in the Payne-Aldrich
bill necessities were favored" at the
expense of luxuries. Here are few
comparisons which show how the re-
publicans really favored" the neces-
stiles: The necessity raw sugar was
taxed 65 per cent, while the luxury
diamonds, cut but not set, were taxed
only 10 per cent Such necessities as
blankets, flannels, women's dress
goods, shawls, knit goods, wearing
apparel and other woolen manufac-
lures. were made to pay tax of from
80 to 14O per cent, while luxury au-
tomobiles were taxed but 45 per cent.

GIVE Us LIGHT SAYS
Mr.. WALSH
Democratic Candidate for
Senator Talks on Conven-
ton Endorsement.
From the Libby Western News.

From the Libby Western News.
Hon. T. j. Walsh of Helena, one
of the democratic aspirants for Unit
ed States senator from Montana, was
in Libby on Sunday last. Mr. Walsh
had been at Lake Mcdonald for
week before coming to Libby and on
his way here stopped off at Eureka
between trains. From here he went to
Thompson Falls, at which place he had
some business matters to look after.
In conversation with a Western
News representative Mr.. Walsh said
that he was much interested in the
development of this part of the state
and said he had carefully watched the
efforts which our people had been
making for some time to get this sec
tion of Montana settled up. Mr.. Walsh
is an out and outer in his opposition to
the visionary schemes of the Pinchot
crowd. He stands for the development
of the state and contends that it is one
of the greatest crimes of the govern
ment to take from people such mag
nificent lands as are found in the
western part of Montana and withhold
them from homebuilders. While be-
living in conservation Mr. Walsh be-
lieves that conservation can best be
employed along with the development
of the country.
Not Prophet.
Asked as to his opinion of the re-
suit this fall, Mr.. Walsh gave it as his
opinion that there were many reasons
why the democratic party should sue
ceed. Among other things he said
there was considerable dissension
among the republicans and a general
disappointment over the tariff. How
ever, he qualified his remarks by say
ing that he didn't consider himself a
good political prognosticator and pre-
ferred to leave that part of the busi-
| ness to others better informed than
himself on that subject.
On the question of state conven-
tion Endorsement Mr.. Walsh has some
pronounced ideas. Among other
| things he said:
No Dark Lantern.
| "Yes, | am in favor of state con.
vention Endorsement | believe the
people have right to know for whom
they are voting when they go into the
booth and mark their ballot. The
state convention Endorsement idea is
the popular one with the most enlight
ened people and there is a general ant
a sure breaking away from the ole
dark lantern method of electing Unit
ed States senators. My notion is tina
it is the square and manly thing tC
let the people of the state know who
will be elected senator. If the re
publicanS carry the legislature tn,
man whom they want should be known
before the votes are cast. The same
with our party. The people have ;
right to know who will succeed Sen
ator Carter in the event of the legiS
lature being democratic. Not only arr
the people entitled to know the MAJ
who will be elected, but by naming tn
senator in convention the Legislature
will be relieved of a burden which
under most favorable condition, make
for an evil influence upon matters o
legislation and always encroache
upon the too limited time of the mem
bers There is every good reason VIII
the convention should indorse an
there is not good reason why the con
vention should not indorse | am i

Gun Club opened their 1910 season with a
splendid shoot at their grounds at the
Eastern Branch. near Benning bridge.
yesterday afternoon Unlike the shoots
held last year, the targets were thrown

OF the members of the club, Steubener
made the best score of the day. Out Of
100 shots he managed TO pull down 81

In their daily practice spin yesterday
on the Potomac. one Of the Georgetown
Prep eight-oared shells met with a rather
serious accident by collidlng with a row
boat in midstream At the time the
shell was going at full tilt and the sud
den impact was 50 great as to cause the
boat TO lose it's even keel and turn
turtle. All the oarsmen were precipltated
into the water. but none of the crew lost
their heads and chung 10 the shell when
they came up.
Only two of the nine occupants were
unable 20 swim and they were assisted
by their comrades until the boat was
righted by the efforts Of some oarsmen
who came to the rescue of the young
sters
The mishap took place only about 100
yards from the boathouse but even then
the employees found 1t a difficult task
pulling the water-soaked shell that short
distance. Upon examination the boat was
found TO have been injured about the
bow and will have to be sent off to the
factory for repairs, AS it will be some
eeks before it will again be in commits
sion. the props will be forced to use one

At the time OF the accident, McCrystai
