WHEAT WILL
AVG. rs BUS.
Yields Being Estimated at From Is
to 40 Bushels to the Acre in
This Section

Harvesting is in full blast in Mus
selsnell county and another week
will see all the grain cut and in
shock. Yields will vary according
to the care exercised in putting in
the crop, but it is estimated that
'25 bushels of wheat to the acre is a
conservative estimate, some Yields
being expected to reach fully 40
bushels.
In trip northwest of Roundup
Tuesday afternoon, the writer OBJ
served that much of the grain had
already been cut, while others were
busy with the harvester at the time.
We mention below a few of the
places visited:
Hopkins brothers have their 15-
acre field of wheat in shock, and
from the large and well-flled heads
it will easily go 80 bushels.
Milton Bell has a similar field
which will also yield about 80
bushels.

ROUNDUP WILL HAV[ BRICK IARD
Butte Parties, After Thoroughly Investi-
eating, Decide to Go Ahead With
New Enterprise

A. J. Davis and Manlcy Lee, of
Butte. who have been in Roundup
the last two weeks investigating the
possibility Of establishing a brick
factory here, have announced
that they have fully decided to 20
ahead with the enterprise. During
the past week they been inspecting
several tracts of land il this vicinity
on which it was known there were
deposits Of good fire clay, finally
deciding on a tract Of about two
acres across the track from No. 3
The land is owned by J. W. Newton
and is near the place where Wynne
4 Quarrles started brick factory
more than two years ago. Mr.. Lee,
it will be remembered, was associat-
ed with Wynne 4 Quarrles during
the first attempt to get an enterprise
OF this nature started.
1t is probable that actual work
on the brio: yard will be commenced
within very short time. and if
everything goes well. brick will be
ready for the builders before the
close of summer. It IS the inten-
ton OF the promoters of the enter
prise to put in a kiln with a capa-
city Of about 25O,O0O bricks, and
plant in proportion thereto.
The new industry will mean much
to the city OF Roundup. In addi-
ton to provide work for a large
number of men. the brick factory
will bring about substantial re-
duction on the cost of brick. thus
making it easier for Roundup people
to put UP buildings with this ma
terial.

Only hardy trees sould be selected
and yeerlings are the best to set
out. Mr.. Cooley stated that many
failures may be experienced, but
that by persevering and following
approved methods success would
finally crown their efforts, and their
labor and trouble would be repaid
many times. The speaker dwelt
Tor some time on farm life, and
showed where the farm could be
made much more desirable place
to live. Farmers should get to-
gether to organize clubs along liter
airy lines for the study Of scientific
farming methods, the exchanging
of ideas, and the conducting Of

and profitable pastime among the
younger people. All of these
things would have "A tendency OF

That the fans IN l-ewistown are

the screen while the team and the
rootcrs were witnessing the per-

The following tells the story:
kibble and Thomas were iniield

lock hit to the pitcher. It was one,
two, three for LewistoWn.
Nelson bit to third, McIIale struck
out, Eckcrt walked Toner flew to

Lcwistown.
In the third it was one, two, three
for both sides.
In the fourth Hudson hit for two
bases, Wheelock sacrificed him to
third. Nelson and Hudson then
tried the squeeze play,'but Nelson S
bunt went foul. Here the Lewis
town team displayed great inside
baseball; everyone knew what to
do and did it. Nelson then singl-

score. McHale ended the inning.
On bunted ball Hudson made
splendid pickup, and also gave
splendid exhibition of strong arm.

ASSESSM'T COMPLETED
Valuation Of Baby County Approximately Nine Million Dollars
mssioners Sit as Board Of Equalization this Week

County Assessor Park has com
pleted the assessment OF Mussel-
shell county, the total, not includ-
ing railroad mileage and rolling
stock which is assessed by the state,
being found to be $6,977 ,S6l.OO.
The railroad assessment in this
county is estimated at 81 500, 900. 90
which will bring the grand total to
about $S.717 SCI 90. The county
commissioners are in session this
week as a board of equalization,
and figures are being revised some
what, altho it is thought the total
will not be reduced to any great
extent. Some figures are being re-
duced while others are being raised
thus leaving the total about the
same as returned by Mr.. Park.
The result of the assessment more
than substantiates by few million
dollars the statements made by en-
thusiastic county divisionists dur
ing the fight last winter, and they
can view the result Of Mr.. Park
with considerable pleasure. The
baby county is indeed husky one.
there not having been many new
ones that could boast of as much
wealth as Musselshell county does.
1t can readily be gained from the
assessment that our taxes will be
lighter than under the old regi,ae.
