LADY
THIRD IN RACE
Mrs. Wilson Wins Third Prize in
56 Mile Endurance Race
at BILLINGS.

Mrs. Wilson, Of this city, who
rode in the 56-mile endurance race
at Billings on the Fourth, won
third money, 500. Two of the
horses that were entered in the
race died, one falling dead in his
tracks, while the other died shortly
after the race. The time of the
race was about four and one-half
hours. Mrs. Wilson did not have
any intentions of entering the race
until the evening before when she
was offered Billings horse to ride.
She took good care of the horse
during the race conserving his
energy in expert fashion and COM
ing in in fine condition. At one of
the three stations where the riders
had to register Mrs. Wilson lost her
ticket and had to go back about
200 feet to look for it. The time
lost was sufficient to have brought
her in first if the accident had not
happened.

visit was rather inopportune here
as most of the business men were

way OF entertaining the prominent

This was one of Mr.. Haynes'

Within Thirty Days Rail
road Lands Will
Be on Sale.
Land Commissioner Thomas Cooper
Visits Roundup and Makes Posi-
tive Statement That All Lands
Owned by N. P. in Musselshell
County Will Be on Market.

The campaign started by the
citizens of Roundup several months
ago to have the Northern Pacific
Railway company place their hold
ings on the market has finally borne
fruit. Land Commissioner Thomas
Cooper, Of the N. p, who was in
the city Tuesday, made the posi-
tive statement before gathering of
the business men of the city in the
Pioneer CluD rooms that the lands
owned by the n. r. in Musselshell
county would be placed on the
market within thirty days, and that
IA local agent would be appointed
to look after the business. 1t was
certainly joyful news to hear that
the vast holdings of the railroad
company, which comprise about
one-half of Musselshell county and
which is now lying idle, would be
thrown open for settlement and cul-
tlvation. thus bringing about a
great change in conditions as they
exist here now.
MIR. Cooper arrived here Tuesday
afternoon in an auto from Column
bus, accompanied by John Hughes
eastern land agent, and land ap-
praiser News of their coming was
received by Secretary +. F. Parriott
of the Commercial Club and a
meeting was arranged for that eve-
ming. At the meeting Mr.. Cooper
stated that the company had fully
decided to dispose of their lands.
He went on to say that the price
had not been definitely decided up
on but that the average price would
be about $500 per acre, with a
maximum price of $1,000. The
lands will be sold in units of 100
acres each, not more than $50 acres
being sold to any one party. Sales
will be made on ten year contracts.
one-tenth Of the total amount being
payable at the time Of purchase and
the balance in nine equal payments
bearing six per cent interest.
AS a protection against land
spectators, provisions are made in
the contract for the cultivation of
the land thus purchased. One-tenth
of the land will have to be cult
waited the first year, one-ffth in the
second and another fifth i'm the third.
No deeds will be issued unless this
is complied with.
Mr.. Cooper did not announce the
of local representa-
tive, for which position there are
a multitude Of applicants. The ap-
pointment will be made upon his
return to St. Paul.
The sale of the n. p. lands will
mean great influx of
settlers. Many eastern farmers with
money. to whom the purchase of
railroad lands with a chance to Sc
cure REIMBURSEMENT adjoining
looks better than a small govern
ment homestead, will be attracted
to Musselshell county, and the de-
velopment OF the county will be
given an additional impetus.

formed, as someone has said. a sort OF
geological shuttle-cOck- 1t has been
hit back and forth by biologists be-
tween the class of reptiles and the
class Of mammals, and it's discovery
serves an important link in the chain
of evidence to establish the descent OF

Tracing Animal ReIstiOnship.
The work of the geologist also has
served to prove hitherto unsuspecJeo
relations between various living ami
mails. One could scarcely have dream
ed a few years ago that there was q
close relationship existing between the
Florida manatee and the african ele-
plant. the one dry land animal and
the other aquatic. Much less would any
body have believed that the cOney-
which the Book Of Proverbs pro-
nOunces "a feeble folk" is the cousin
both Of the elephant and of the man
atee. And yet recent explorations
have brought to light evidence show
ing that the sea-living Sirenia, the old
world representative of the Florida
manatee family. is closely related to
the elephant Tt has been found that
thousands Of generations ago this ami
nal had hind limbs, and that in that
age the kinship between 1t and the
elephant was exceedingly close The
same explorations have shown that the
coney is a member of this family.
In a hundred ways the zOologist and
the geolOgist, working along similar
lines, have been affording us new
glimpses Of the relationships existing
in the animal kingdom today and dur
ing the millions OF years OF the past
and are increasing our knowledge OF
the rise of all things created The
progress that has been made in the
past half century leads scientists TO
hope that in the years TO come hu-
