In true western style Montana did
herself proud at the national land
show at the Madison Square Gard, II,
New York City.
Montana captured four of the five
first prizes awarded and there is not

Mr.. +. M. Lawrence of the Bitter

Montana exhibit, was so overjOyed at
the success of the exhibits that he
could hardly talk about it without a

The prizes captured by Montana
were very important ones to this state

On winter wheat James Todd of
Geyser, Mont, won first prize, beau
tiful $1,000 silver cup. The prize
grain was yield of IS bushels to the
acre and weighed 65 pounds to the
bushel.
On oats the sterling silver cup went
to Messrs. Patton and Hartman of
Bozeman. The oats of their exhibit
were of yield of 154 bushels to the
acre. of weight of Al pounds to the
bushel.
This is the cup that was offered by
President Earling of the c. M. & st.
=. railroad.
The third prize captured by Mon
tana was the Pabst cub, for the
worlds best barley, by the exhibit Of
X. Fishinga of Manhattan, Mont. His
yield was GGS 40 bushels to the acre
and of weight of 57A pounds to the
bushel.
On alfalfa Mr.. Van Cleave and DIR.
Sudduth of Broadview, Mont, won the
silver cup, making four of the five
first prizes awarded.

The above shows that the increase
in grain production in Montana for
the year is practically SO per cent, a
showing which is declared to be al
most without parallel in the history
of the country.
interesting facts can. be CLEANED
from a study Of the figures presented
in the estimates of Statistician Ohm
stead. For instance, not only does
Montana lead all the four northwest
ern states in the production of oats
but it's per centage of increase is high
er than that of any other state, this
state producing almost half of the oats
of the four northwestern states for
which figures are given.
At the present rate of increase Mon
tana will next year be far in the lead
of Oregon in wheat production, will be
a couple of million bushels ahead of
Idaho, will produce twice as much
wheat as the state of Washington, and
If the same rate of increase is main
tanned, Montana will in 1914 produce
as much wheat as Washington. AS a
matter of fact. it is doubtful If Wash
ington, which is now well cultivat-
ed state, can even show an increase of
40 per cent for another year, while
Montana, in which grain growing is
in its infancy. there is little doubt
that even this years high rate of in
crease will be maintained.
The hay crop of Montana this year
is estimated at $4,000 tons against
1.743,OO0 tons in Idaho, $4,000 tons in
Oregon and $4,000 tons in Washing
ton.

City Dad Elected
E. A. J. Jesse Elected Alderman to Fill Vacancy
in Third Ward---Sewer System
Brought up Again.

The City Council met in regular ses-
sion Monday and considerable business
of importance was transacted In
view Of the fact that cold weather
has made it impossible to proceed
with the cement work, Frank ONeil,
representing the Miracle Concrete
Corporation, appeared before the coun-
Gil and asked that the time for the
completion Of work in Improvement
District No. be extended until May
Is, 1912. The request was granted.
Police Judge McVay submitted his
report for the month Of October,
showing fines to the amount of $95.
J. U. Gridley, J. E. Woodard and
Gene Lane, officials OF the Roundup
Water company, addressed the coun-
Gil in reference to water rates. The
company at the present time does not
feel warranted in lowering the rates
which they declared were as reason
able as in other towns of the same
size as Roundup and where the same
conditions prevailed. The company,
however. offered to sell the plant to
the city, provided the city felt finan-
cially able to take it over In regard
to the flushing of sewers, the Off
cials present stated that this service
would not cost the city anything. 1t
is probable that the council commit
tee on light and water will discuss
the matter more fully with the water
comapny. During the discussion the
stealing of water from the company
occupied a prominent place, and in ac-
cordance with the request of the water
company officials the city clerk was
instructed to prepare an ordinance
prohibiting this.
Resolution No, 20, creating Special
improvement District No. 4, providing
for the opening of First avenue, was
finally passed upon and the city clerk
ordered to advertise for bids for the
work.
A new ordinance prohibiting the
riding or driving of horses, wagons, or
other vehicles, and riding of bicycles
on sidewalks was passed.
The Roundup Coal Mining Co. was
requested to install a 6O-Watt Tung-
sten lamp at Second avenue and Third
street, and Second avenue and Fourth
street
hntvN u ;,, as
on account of the resignation of A. w.
Eiselein in the Third ward, f. A. J.
Jesse was elected to fill the vacancy.
The matter of providing Roundup
with sewer system was again
brought up. Walter Scott, the city
engineer, presented communication
from J. w. Newton in which the latter
expressed his desire to donate Il site
for a sewerage farm. In case this
method of disposing of the sewage is
adopted, this of course being contin-
gent upon the approval of the state
board of health, the septic tank orig
inally planned on would be done away
with and the cost of the sewer sys-
tenn greatly reduced.
The city clerk was ordered to write
Alderman Johnson to either attend
meetings or resign his office.
The city treasurer's monthly report
for October was received. The re-
ceipts for the month were $1,303 .39
and the disbursements $69OG1.
The council will not meet again until
November 20.

Stage Scenery.


Walter Prichard Eaton. the dramatic

deliberately staged. In 1.-The Question
of Scenery" in the American Maya
zine he says:
AFTER all, it was not the Elizabeth

could enjoy the drama on bare stage
It is we who are stupid because We
cannot enjoy the drama unless the
stage is Uttered with realistic seen

thing for the drama If all scenery
were abolished for the next ten years,

it, we would perhaps keep it In its

PHYSICIANS AND FEES.
A Medical View of the Doctors Charge
For His Services.

Those who discuss the physicians
fee frequently miss the essence of il.
AS a matter of fact. under present
social conditions the charge made to
the wealthy and well 10 do is the nor
NAL and proper fee: the lowered
charges made to those less fortunate
are concessions. The tremendous field
of the physicians charity is therefore
usually underestimate. for it extends
to a great majority of his patients.
In olden times, when medicine was
nearly all art and but little science.
the fee was unknown. Like other art
the weight of which depended natu-
rally upon the resources of the patient.
The popular impression that physi-
clans make the rich pay for the poor is
incorrect They extend their services to
all alike. and all are supposed to pay as
much as they can afford for services
really priceless and impossible to rep
resent adequately in money values.
Any attempt made to establish stand
ard fees by law is sure to work in
justice to the physician. The stand
ard fee would have to be much high
er than the average fee at present and
there would have to be some method
of enforcing its sure payment. Only
with the standard fixed, as now. by
the ability of the wealthy is it possible
for the poor to receive the benefits of
the highest professional skill without

SERVING Soup.

If anybody were asked to suggest
why the soup plate was made broad
and shallow the almost certain answer
would be that such an arrangement
facilitates the cooling Of the soup to a
temperature comfortable to the mouth
We believe that utilitarians drink tea
out Of saucer for the same reason.
While that may be the explanation Of
the peculiar shape of the soup plate,
the advantage indicated is surely in
significant compared with the obvious
disadvantages which may probably
arise from exposing so large a surface
of nutrient fluid to the air. Soup
should be served in cup. low broad
teacup. and the method. which is be-
coming more usual. is hygienic. Too
deep a vessel would be an error on the
other side. Its advantages would be

If properly handled silk is the strong
