End Entertainment
Better Than Ever


Billy t'rost's second athletic
show which was given Mt the
Davis Opera House on last Sat-
urday evening, in the presence
Of a crowded house, eclipsed all
former attempt.
Among the new features on
the second progrom were the
singing by Prof. B. A. Thomas
and the comedy sketch by
Thomas and McClain. The
trapeze stunts" by Frank Rey-
chler was especially good, while
the Is minute wrestling bout be-
tween John Burns and Everett
Terrell, and the 3-round boxing
exhibition between Zelmer Jones
and Bland Orgain also proved
very interesting-in fact every
number on the program, was
executed in most creditable man.
ner, and all who availed them
selves of the opportunity to at
tend, were highly pleased with
the entertainment.

Climate Cannot be ExceIIed

Billings, Feb. Is. T hat tn
climate Of Montana, from an all
year round standpoint, is superior
to that of California, is the opin.
ion of Roy B. ketchum, a promin-
ent banker and capitals who has
just returned from Los Angeles
where he visited a month. After
two years residence at Broadyiew.
Montana, he declares that, in his
opinion, the climate of the Trea-
sure state cannot be excelled, Re-
garding opportunities, he says
they are more numerous in Mon
tana than in any part of the ma.
ton, and that he has become con-
vinced of this after having spent
several thousands of dollars in
travelling over the United States
looking for a location. He has
concluded that there is no place
equal to Montana and will bring
his household effects from Chicago
and reside here permanently.

program with a lap supper.

A surprise party was given on
David Hawkins, one of our lead
ing bachelors on Tuesday even
ing. There were about 80 couple
present and a very enjoyable
time reported by all.
Some Of the Dawson county
farmers in this locality would
like their change they have COM
ing on premiums from the exhi-
bit they took to the Beach fair
this fall, nothing striking yet in
the money line. They need not
expect those in this locality to
bring over any Of good old Mon
tana produce or stock for exhi-
bit purposes until they settle up.
1t serves them right in one way
they ought to stay on their own
side and send it to their own
county fair where premiums are
paid on sight.
Mrs. John w. Snow Jr. and
son Dawson arrived home from
the Beach hospital where they
have been for the last three
weeks. They both stood the trip
we'll and they were certainly
welcome to the farmstead as the
old man was getting pretty lone
some and tired of his own cook
ing.
David Hawkins gave an oyster
supper Friday evening at the
home of T. w. Davis. The even
ing was spent in playing cards.
One of the most noted guests
was Mr.. Schmidt of st. Paul.

Montana Making
Splendid Showing

That Montana is forging ahead
as an agricultural state is shown
by the crop report sent out by the
department Of agriculture. Mon
tana leads, and the prophecy is
that 1912 will show a greater in
crease than ever. The railroads
have been offering special rates to
colonists during the winter, and
will continue to do during the
81 ring months, for the benefit Of
eastern farmers who ara anxious
to come to the treasure state and
investigate conditions for them
selves before making land pur-
chases or moving their families to
this section. The many adver-
tising schemes devised to attract
the attention of eastern men to
Montana, especially the governors
special train and the demonstra-
tion cars have done much to en-
liven interest in the resources,
which have heretofore been passed
unnoticed.
1T is impossible to ascertain
the good that has been done by
the governors trip through the
east three months ago." said Hoke
Smith, western development agent
of the Great Northern railroad,
who was in Butte on business a
few days ago. Every city and
town where the train parked show
ed intense interest in the west,
and the spectators were impressed
with the wonderful showing which
was made.
The following are the accurate
statistics gathered by the govern
ment'experts on the yield of diff
ferent products in Montana:
In 1909 the corr acreage in
Montana amounted to only 9,5l4
acres, in 1910 it amounted to l6,-
600 acres and in 1911, 10000
acres. The yield in 1908 was 90
bushels, decimals omitted; % bu-
shells per acre in 1910 and 26 bu-
shells plus in 1911. While this is
a small acreage and comparatively
not a great yield of corn, it must
be recollected that eastern people,
generally, do not believe that corn
can be raised at all in Montana,
Corn is planted principally for
fodder. Alfalfa, the principal for
age crop, can be raised to better
advantage in this state. That this
is really a credltable showing is
proved by the fact that the aver
age yield Of corn in New York
state is only % bushels plus,
while such well known corn states
as Iowa and Illinois can hardly
show a better average, Iowa Civ
ing 81 bushels and Illinois 33 bu-
shells against Montana's 26 bn-
shells.
In 1911 Montana had a winter
wheat acr cage of 229, 900 acres, in
1910, ITO, 900 and in 100. no sep
arate figures We're given. Mon.
tana is such a new state, agricul-
turally, that its farm products
have just started to come before
the world. The average yield in
1911, in bushels per acre of winter
wheat, was 81 bushels plus, and
IN 1910 the average was % bu-
shells. The production in winter
wheat in 1911 amounted to 1853
900 bushels. In the winter wheat
production alone, 3, 100000 bu-
shells. The census figures for 1910
are not available for winter wheat.
In 1911 the all-wheat acreage of
Montana was 429, ZOO acres, pro-
ducing a total OF 1929, ,OOO bu-
shells. This is an average of 2s.7

The subject of kissing before en-
gagements for marriage" came up at
a whist club Of half a dozen married
couples. It turned out that not one
OF the women had been kissed until
her troth was plighted. One OF the
men had poor memory: I'VE used to
kiss. sometimes, didn't WEI? he said
to his wife. mo. SIR" she said. with
deep Indignation; you tried to, and
you fought for the privilege. but you
never succeeded" "Is that sou the

say? the wife asked. There was a
pause. Intense but suppressed excite
ment was visible on the faces of the
other married men. II say" said the
husband, II have kissed you SO many
times that I can't remember when 1

WHEN SPAIN GAVE UP CUBA
Drama That Began With Columbus

Arriving in Havana on the after

letter Of introduction from the son
Of one Of his close friends, and asked

days ceremonies at the palace. The
pass was presently forthcoming.
1t was five minutes to twelve next
day. At that instant rose the solemn
strains Of the Spanish anthem. AS It
ceased there was a moments silence.
Then up through the easements came
the "Star Spangled Banner" and the
procession, which had formed below
wound its way through the great por-
tai and up into the room where we
were. Major General Brooke and the
officers under his command, their
dress uniforms and yellow sashes a
bright note Of color, entered first;
then came the swarthy Cuban leaders,
their uniforms less splendid, but their
dignity beyond question; and last Of
all. General Castellanos and his staff
