The twenty-six homesteaders and
ranchers who brought the Sewers
wool clip to Malta took back with
them large loads of lumber and mer-
chandise. While here they did not
forget to mention the bad roads they
encountered between the Sewers
ranch and Malta and some of them
went so far as to say that if these
roads were not improved they would
be compelled to go elsewhere tc
trade. 1t behooves the business men
of Malta to take this matter up wit h
the proper authorities.

Residents of Dodson, >aco ana

making the northeastern part of
Montana have filed complaint with
the railroad commission asking for
better train service between Glasgow
and Havre. Many unofficial COM
plants have been made by residents
OF the various towns along the line
from Havre to Glasgow, the resi-
dents OF Harlem being among those
who are dissatisfied with the service
they are receiving frem the Great
Northern Railroad Company.
Later:-It is said that the Great
Northern railway has refused to
make any change in it's passenger
service on the main line from Glas-

show whether or not the service now
given by the Great Northern is suf-

How the judges will find the best
five bushels of wheat in the Ameri-
can Northwest and determine who is
entitled to the $4,000 prize offered at
the Northwestern Products Exposi-
tion in Minneapolis III November, is
told in a booklet received by E.
Sklower, secretary of the Malta Com
mercial Club from the Northwest
Development League.
Three judges will be selected from
without the seven states by the pres
idents of the agricultural colleges
and presidents of the grain exchang-
es.
Judging will be in three ways, one
third of the points OIL accepted seed
score card; another third by points
gained in milling and baking test,
while one third of the possible one
hundred points will be awarded for
the yield per acre.
Here is about the way wheat is
judged: 25 points Oh weight per
bushel and points OH uniformity of
sample; Is points are allowed OH va
riety characters, three of these being
one color; 10 on purity which msans
the kernels must be true to type of
the breed represented: 2 points for
kernel shape which varies with the
breed.
Thirty points are allowed for vital
ity, S of these being for luster; Is
points for plumpness as all kernels
should be we'll rounded. having no
sharp corners and the crease we'll
closed. Seven points are OH odOr,
the samples must be free from foul
smell.
Twenty five points are allowed for
market condition; 10 of these to GOV
er weed seed; 3 for dirt and dust; =
for injured kernels; ) for smut and )
the condition of the bran. All brok-
ell and scabby kernels will count
against the wheat.
According to the rules governing
the 1000 wheat contest to be held
in connection with the Northwestern
Exposition in Minneapolis Nov. 12-
23, those who intend to compete for
the prize should give notice as soon
as possible that bin room may be
provided for each exhibitor.
All samples must consist of five
bushels of threshed grain and from
five to ten sheaves which are from &
to 10 inches in diameter and from the
same field. These must be sent pre-

formerly Miss Annie O'Connel, a
very loveable young woman who a
year ago visited at the home of her
sister, Mrs. J. l.. Russell south of

shortly after leaving Malta to Cole
Blair at Republic, WASH, and was
very happy in her new home when
death claimed her in June. The sor-
rowing husband passed through NAL

by Mrs. Russell who also went back
to the old home at Montella, Wis,
where burial was made.

Buttermilk Is Healthful

1t was only few years ago, says
the Philadelphia Press, that the
chickens aud the pigs got most Of
the residuum of a churning. They
get very little Of it now, for the wise
men of the hospitals have educated
the public to knowledge of it's val
ue. Not only in cases of serious
stomachic ailment, but for all per.
SONS Of feeble or impaired digestion,
buttermilk is now esteemed a boon.
The once despised by-product ranks
with sweet milk and outranks it both
with those who finds it palatable and
crave it, and with those for whom it
is incidentally prescribed.
The taste for buttermilk is mostly
acquired. but once one gets the habit
it grows and sticks. Back of the de-
velopment fondness for the cold,
tart, acrid beverage is the agreeable
consciousness that the drink, with
the casein principle Of milk eliminat-
ed, is a food salutary, wholesome
and easily digested, and that the
more one imbibes of it so much the
better. Recent years have wit
messed an enormous increase in the
consumption of buttermilk. Depart
ment stores serve it with crackers: {:
most saloons are compelled to keep it
Oh tap, and many report a gratifying
preference for it on the part of their
patrons over beer.
Great is buttermlk, indeed; n
nutritious food, a cooling summer
drink.

Billings, Mont, July 17.-Citizens
Of this community are considering
the establishment of an alfalfa mill
which will convert large per cent
of the great forage product in this
section into meal, and other forms in
which it can be fed to best advan-
tage to live stock. The contemplated
plant will represent an investment of
about $4,000 and will have a capaci-
ty of approximately so tons per day.
1t IS expected that $3.50 per ton will
be paid the farmers for the crop de-
livered at the mill and it is said that
at this figure. a fair margin of profit
will be made by the plant. 1t is be-
lieved that the establishment OF this
ENTERPRISE in the very heart of one
of the greatest alfalfa growing sec
tions of the west Will no only mean
that the farmers will all be able to
dispose of their crops to good advan-
tage, but the seeding of additional
areas will be encouraged.

stand the examinations the same as
all other newcomers to the state.

be displayed in open dens, fifty corps

An endless panorama of world won-
ders will be unfolded before the eyes.
In originating and building this
years spectacle, the Ringing Bros.
have far surpassed all former records.
Hundreds of Italian and French art
lists and property builders worked last
winter in the foreign shops of the
show at Stoke-on-Trent, England, to
turn out this parade. Only the best of
materials were used. The wagons,
dens, chariots and floats are hand
carved. The flags, banners, scarfs
and standards are from the looms of
Japan.
The parade is three miles long. 1t
displays $50 handsome horses and
two thirds of the elephants in Ameri-

children in the line. Among them
are Oriental rajahs, ameers, pashas,

a continuous n Of religion. / doubt
IL any Indian ever becomes a true on
vert to our religion. They may take
1t because 1t is forced onto them, but
4 have my doubts IL they ever for
sake the religion Of their forefathers.
With the show they are as devout
worshippers as they are when on the
plains and there is nothing that a
make them forget their religion. Some
of the many religious ceremonies
they go through daily for the benefit of
the public, but there are many cere-.
monies that even those who enjoy
their confidence are never permitted
to see. Even in the ceremonies given
with the show they are intensely earn
est and there is no b~urlesquing 1t. 1t
matters not what tribe IT may be, the
ceremonies are virtually alike. Their
religion, like their sign language, can
be understood no matter what tongue
is spoken. Irrespective Of the tribe
the Indian legends are all the same
and it is to be regretted that there has
not been more effort made to perpet-
uate these Indians, as well as the lot
IF Indian lore that is rapidly going
2ut of existence, because the present
generation of Indians do not seem in
clined to keep it in use. Hiawatha,
viii never grow old as an Indian leg
end and there are many of the same
style that are nursery tales for the
Indian mothers that are rapidly dying
out"
There is not one Indian with the
101 Ranch Wild West show that has
ever been away from the plans before
and many Of them never rode on a
railway train before being introduced
to the one that brought them from
their prairie home to join the show.
Mr.. Arlington said they were like a
bunch of school children when they
first saw a city. They were so aston
ished at the strange sights that they
actually became timid and could not
be persuaded to leave the side Of the
guides and interpreters. Indians are
keen witted and soon become accus-
toned to anything and everything.
With those who are with the show
this season return to their tepees in
the fall they will be greater heroes
than some OF the chiefs made famous
in battle. The stories they will have
to tell and the construction they will
put on what they have seen will make
them in the estimation Of the other
Indians. encyclopedias with only the
Russian binding lacking.

Miller Bros, is an equal partner in the
101 Ranch Wild West show, and who
has made an exhaustive study of the
Indian, says; There is no question
but what the Indians are SUI wor-
shippers and have always been. This
is particularly true of the Pueblos.
They think the sun god the great spir-
1t, and to 1t give thanks for all they
have. However, they do not worship
the sun direct. but through some less
err medium, who intercedes for them
with the sun. There are as many
confirmed sun worshippers among the
Indians as there were among the cliff
jewellers, and while 1t is the most pro-
nounced among the Pueblos, it is evil
dent among all tribes. In all the crude
drawings of the Indians the sun is al
ways depicted and figures more con-
spicuously than does anything else.
It has often been claimed that the In
dams paid homage to the snake and
considered that it controlled the rain.
While I have often found the snake
pictured by them l have never found
the least evidence that it was put up
to be worshipped by them. Some
writer's have taken opposite views to
me on this question, but my own re-
searches and what / nave learned
from those who have constantly as
ISOLATED with the Indian, / have never
been inclined to believe that they do
worship the snake under any circum :
stance. OF course, the snake figures
conspicuously in some of their cere-
monies and dances, but more. to in
f1ict torture on the dancers than any
thing else that / could see, There Is
no nation on the face of the globe to-
day who are more jealous worship
