MONTANA CROPS.

From the best information available
it is learned that the crops Of Montsna
under irrigation are fully up to the
average, while upon the dry farms OF
the state the production is counted ss
from 40 to 60 per cent Of last year.
Considering that . great deal OF the
dry land farming during the present
season has been the fret year effort OF
settlers and that few. II any, of the
conditions precedent to dry farming
in ito truest sense, that is to cay the
scientific cultivation OF the soil, have
been met by these, the results may be
regarded in the main highly satisfac'
tory, because they indicate clearly
that through the use of proper methods
farming on the dry lands Of Montana
is q success.
All during the campaign for settle
ment of the dry lands Of the Treasure
state it has been insisted that q spec.
ial course Of preparation of the soil
was essential to success. While 1t
was recognized that in such q year as
1909 it was possible to raise crops
when the usual methods employed In q
region of average or even abnormal
precipitation were practiced, still from
the fret it was pointed out that to
achieve uniform success It would be
necessary to work along the lines laid
down by the advocates of scientific
soil GUILTY. alton.
It was in furtherance of this idea
that Representative Mondell of wy.
oming secured the passage of the en-.
larged homestead act, for it was re-
cognized that to successfully raise
crops without irrigation land should
be seeded only every other year, it be-
log allowed to rest and to soak mois-
lure in the alternate years. Under
such q system there could be no ques-
ton of the success of dry farming.
This has not been one of the years
OF orm neutrality-suspicious.; in fact the
rainfall has, II anything, been below
the normal. With the prevailing
weather conditions it would not have
been reasonable to expect that the
land could be plowed in the spring,
crops planted and q bountiful harvest
reaped. The fact that no one could
foretell what the year might be does
not alter the case that every teacher
of dry farming has from the start in
sisted that especial preparation must
be given to the soil precedent to plant
ing and that the crops must be given
different ire atmen than is accorded il
regions where .the. precipitation is
abundant.
Wherever dry farmers h~ave..conduct'
ed their business along scientific lines
there has beenlno crop failure. and,
roughly stated, the men who have fail
ed in Montana thislyear are the mer
who have failed wherever they have
ate mpted to farm. and. their failure
may betcharRed. to the fact that the.
have neglected to combine..knowledge

Married Prussian Officer.

The girl was married to a Prussian
army officer, Captain lido Won Grone.
Later the count died. TIE widow was
sorely tempted, because the count
neglected to leave will, and, had she
exposed the fraud of the girls early
life the entire estate would have gone
to herself. The supposed mother sue
cumbed to temptation. She threaten
ed a law suit If the supposed countess
should try to make trouble.

reckoned without her host. Captain
Won Grone, far from stunning the
revelations as to his wife's parentage,
took the initiative IN litigation, and
before the widow knew where she was
she found herself defendant instead
of claimant in the action. The cap
tain's case was that he had been in
duced to marry his wife by repre-
sentations that she was the child, an
heiress of Count Won Voss, and that
consequently fraud had been prac-
ticed upon him. He therefore, urg-
ed that the Countess Won Voss, as her
husbands heir and herself a party to
the deception, should be compelled to
pay him the sum of $4,000 pounds.
to which he would have naturally
been entitled had his wife really been
the counts daughter. The action has
now been finally decided in the cap
tain's favor by the imperial court,
so that Frau Won Grone will. at any
rate, suffer no pecuniary loss through
the disclosure Of the secret of her
birth.

COUNTESS Is NOT
OF NOBLE BLOOD

Berlin.-One of the most romantic
domestic stories that could be imag-
ined has been unfolded in the Ger
man courts in which a countess of
supposed noble birth was exposed as
foster daughter and the real child
Of a carpenter. The case has just
been concluded in the imperial court
at Leipsic.
In 1859 Count George Won voss, a
member of one of the oldest families
of the North German nobility, married
in Galicia a woman of humble orr
gin named Debaska. Their union
proved childless. The count, how
ever felt deeply the absence of some
being on whom he could lavish par
ternal care and affection. and in his
sorrow he bethought him that one of
his sisters-in-law who was married to
a carpenter, had four children, for
whose bringing up too plentiful re-
sources were not available. The
family was approached on the SUBJ
ject and eventually consented to aban-
don all claim to one girl, who was
taken over by the count as his own
daughter. To put the business on a
thorough stable legal footing from
the outset, he suborned a reprobats
priest to issue him a forged birth cer-
tificate to the effect that the girl,
Helen by name, was, in fact, his child
and as such she figures this day 'on
the court calendars. When the child
was 13 her aunt and adopted mother
died, and the count took second wife
from his own worldly station. The
new countess was invited therefore
and was initiated into the secret of
Helen's origin. but was threatened
with death in case she should reveal it
to another.

People with kidney Ills want to be
cured When one suffers the tor
lures of an aching back, relief Is
eagerly sought for. There are many
remedies today that relieve but do
not cure. Here is evidence to prove
that Doan's Kidney Pills cure, and the
cure is lasting.
Mrs. Wesley Adcock, Ala E. Webb
street, Pendleton, Oregon, says:
about a year ago a member of our
family was in bad shape with kidney
trouble. This person had such severe
pains in the back that work was an
impossibility and the least lifting or
any quick movement caused sharp
twinges through the loins. Sound
sleep was out of the question and on
arising in the morning the patient
had no energy and felt very lame and
sore Doan's Kidney Pills were used
on a friends advice and the ooctsnts
OF five boxes effected a cure. This
preparation is worthy Of the high -
endorsement"

WHAT DOES THE PUBLIC
OWE THE RAILWAYS:
Ripley, of the Santa Fe, Says No Road
Is Earning Any Big Returns on
the Actual Investment.

the Actuai lntcStInCnt.
Topeka, Kas, Oct. 2S-E. P. Ripley,
| president Of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad, in an address last
night, asked:
How is the duty of the public to
the railroads been performed. and does
the public owe any duties to the rail-
raod? The answer to this question
will vary with the views of him who
is asked, but all would probably agree
as a general principle that the public
owes the railroad:
First. protection for its property.
Second, freedom from interference
with its business methods as long as
they are clean and honest
"This is all we ask. We don't seek
to evade responsibilities.
In the Al years since the original
line was projected from Atchfson to
Topeka, the Santa Fe has paid it's
owners less than percent on its
capitalization. We are told there is
water in it don't think so-but sup
pose that it is one-third water, the
earnings would still show less than
percent on the actual capital invested.
Is that an excessive return for those
who have risked theirs money in the
enterprise?
'@The cry of 'watered stock is today
untrue as to most of the railroads OF
this country and particularly untrue as
to the Santa Fee. l have no hesitation
in saying that if a regular debit and
credit account had been kept, charg-
ing upon the one side the actual cash
outlay with regular savings bank in
terests and crediting all earnings on
the other the state of Kansas would
be some millions of dollars in debt to
the Santa Fe.
eve don't want to he hove tho Ia W
and we accept regulation of railroads
as a settled policy of the government;
but by what authority do your state
officials proclaim that the railroads
are earning too much and that rates
should be reduced?

a publicity campaign to give to the |
public its side of the controversy The
campaign has been regarded with |
favor by the people because it IS
