Montana farmers pockets last year.
The 1909 Montana acreage for barley
ran $4,000, with a yield of 1900, 900
bushels valued at 81, $4,000.
"Our winter wheat for 1909 had Il
value of s5,2sO.OOO. This was on 6,-
Ol2,OOO bushels from 1851 acres.
Our spring wheat acreage was 1885,
$40 and the 4.7+2, 600 bushels yield
brought saba 900.
Remember, too. that these re-
turns come from both dry and irri-
gated farming. Turkey red wheel is
the variety best adapted for dry far
ming. From sugar beets we get a
yield of fifteen tons to the acre, and
the beets are of high sugar content.
Billings has beet sugar factory us
ing up the beets grown on 10000 ac-
res, so that the producer finds ready
market close at hand. As the beets
sell for $3.50 to - per ton, on hf-
teen ton per acre yield the estimated
profit is from So to $40 per acre.
"When it comes down to hay" lie
added refectively, "there's better tig-
ures yet. Now. in 1909 the hay pro-
duct was 905, 600 tons, grown OH $751;
600 acres. 10 you know how much
money that brought in: NO? Well,
I'll tell you, approximately s9,o05,-

"All this verified information from
so high Il state parsonage makes it
appear to me that Montana is an ex-
tremely choice place in which to go

his coming to the county is known to
be extraordinarily good. School

of four pretty girls at Proctor's the
atre for the first half of this week
enact a musical oddly entitled
From Coney Island to the North
Pole" with a carload of. special
scenery, including two airships and
an automobile. THE Flying Dread

as such are listed.
While there is no especial plot to
the sketch, it is comic in the ex-
IRENE and caused much laughter and
applause last night. In an airship,
two sailors leave Coney Island and
head for the North Pole, making the
trip in view of the audience. landed
at the pole. they meet a crowd of
fair maidens and they are taken FOR
a spin in a taxicab. At least the
spin is proposed but is never Nken,

something goes wrong with the gas

for the leak with a match. Curtain.
Two other exceedingly funny
skits complete the bill. Tom Tenn

sketch wherein is shown the out
come of a mans mistaking a neck

sees and hears Lyndon and Door

holds his sides with laughter. AS

Hereby Follow Natural Instincts Left

Every automebilist knows that when
his car approaches a hen instead of
calmly stepping to the side - the road
and safety in nine cases out of ten
she runs along ahead in hysterical ex-
element, doing what she should have
done in the first place only when com
pletely exhausted and then only by nc
cident apparently. Other domestic
animals have the same annoying habit,
and as 1t often causes their wholly
needless death, the usual explanation
of it is their stupidity. That is an IN
fair criticism, for neither birds nor
animals are ever stupid-never are,
that Is, about meeting exigencies
which their ancestors were In the hab-
1t of meeting.
1t is the lesson Of immemorial expe-
rience for all these creatures that from
the pursuit Of an enemy that cannot
be fought there is safety If anywhere
in straightaway flight at topmost
speed. Motion in any other direction
would give the pursuer a fatal advan-
tage by enabling him to "cut corners
and Owe a shorter distance than his
selected prey. The hens mistake is
not in running along the road, but in
assuming that the automobile wants
to catch her and will do so If it can.
That assumption is a perfectly natural
one, and every living hen is the de-
scendant Of innumerable generations
of hens that acted upon 1t exactly as
she does,-New York Times,

HAMON SAYS
CREAGER WAS
AFTER MONEY

McAlester, Okla, Aug. Ono Longer
denying or explaining away accusa-
tons, Jacob L. Hamon, chairman OF
the Republican state central commit
tee and former national committee
man, has undertaken to give his &C
cusers a dose of their own medicine
At the meeting here of the congress
sional committee appointed to inquire
into the McMurray Indian contract
scandal, Hamon declared that Con
gresham G. e. Creager, who had call
ed him a bride giver, with having
tried to secure large sums of money
from j. f. McMurray. Hamon had
| previously asserted that Senator Gore
was once under a cloud in Texas.
Hamon brought his charges in de
manding the recall of Creager to the
witness stand for cross examination
before the special congressional com
mittee investigating the alleged Nc
Murray Indian contract frauds.
II want to show" said Hamon, that
Creager demanded large UNI OF
money from McMurray after the In
dian lands bill was introduced by
C%reager."
The bill Hamon referred to proved
for the sale of the surface lands to
private individuals and for the sale
of the mineral deposits to the govern
ment. Under the arrangement Nc
Murray with his contracts, It was as
serted, would have obtained 10 per
cent Of the money paid by the govern
ment.
Chairman Burke said he did not be
lieve Creager could properly be recall
ed, as he already had been excused as
a witness. Then Hamon demanded
the privilege of calling other witnesses
to prove his charges. The demand
was taken under advIsement by the
committee. .
W. T. Holman, q Choctaw Indian,
testified that he had been employed by
j. +. McMurray, holder Of the con
tracts, to go out among the Oklahoma
Indians and induce them to sign the
documents. At the same time Holl-
man related he was paid a dollar a
head" for securing contracts appoint
ing McMurray to act In tax cases. In
this way McMurray procured 10000
contracts to SELF land.
The terms were 10 per cent attor-
neys' fees, or $3,000,0 900 profit for Nc
Murray and his associates. To pro-
mote this deal in congress Senator
Gore contends he was offered a $685.
600 or $4,000 bride.
Holman testified that he himself had
signed the 10 per cent contract, be-
cause he, in common with other In
dams, had become discouraged over
the governments promise to sell the
land. e" would have given % per
cent to. McMurray," said Holman, "if
he could have got US the money quick
ly." He said he believed some of
the Indians would be willing to give
McMurray rs per cent.
In a statement to the committee and
without going on the stand McMurray
declared that the contracts came to
him originally against his desires. He
said the Indians at a war council"
had demonstrated their impatience at
the governments alleged slowness in
the selling of the land and had called
upon him to take the job at 10 per
cent, which he did with reluctance.
McMurray will go on the stand later.
Questioned further, Holman testi-
fed 1t was the belief of the Indians
that their property was worth from
$30,000,000 to $4,000, 900, and the I'M
Outstanding was McMurray was to get
10 per cent of this.

Emulating the United States.

If imitation Is sincerest flattery, we
may again take a measure of pride in
the action of Canada in two important
matters, for the ottawa plans for curb
ing corporations and for restricting
Asiatic immigration are based on
American experience and endeavor.
But in its drastic act for regulation
of monopolies Canada goes further, in
providing for the immediate removal
OF the tariff on all articles upon which
the price to the consumer is found to
have been unduly raised. Also, 1t is
proposed to fine any corporation 81 900
day for maintaining excessive prices
after an order to reduce them has been
issued 1t is thus hoped to put within
the power Of the government remedy
OF practfeai and effectiye character;
through piece of ,sunptuary legisla-
tion such as our constitution prohibits,
AS regards Asiatic immigration, such
restrictions are imposed under the new
act as would tend to prevent the
Hindus In British Columbia from add
ing to their colonies, measure de-
signed to prevent possibility of a
recurrence of the outbreaks resulting
from white antipathy in that region.
The property provision, however,
would also operate to keep in the
United States a considerable number
of European newcomers who are now
attracted across the northwest border.
In these and other forms of legisla-
ton, Canada has the advantage of a
new country in utilizing lessons taught
by an older neighbor. 1t may thus be
able to forestall some, Of the evils at
tendant upon prodigious and prosper
GUS growth as witnessed in the United
States.
