CROP PROSPECTS
WE'RE NEVER BETTER

H. D. Shepard, president of the
Travelling Mems Land Investment
company. dropped in Sunday night.
brief stop-over to look
after his interests here. At the
present time he is travelling on the
road for Reeves & Co., a big farm
manufacturer, whose
headquarters is at Billings, max
ing their special collections. His
business brings him into all the
farming sections of the state. and
keeps him in touch with the crop
conditions. He states that Montana
farmers never had a more flourish
ing outlook. The wheat crop in all
sections promises to be something
immense. He says that over the
state there are more than 1000
power blowing outfits at work which
are summer following ON an average
of 1000 acres each, so some idea
can be gained of the vast amount of
land that is being put under cultd-
walton. He states that from an ag-
ricultural standpoint Montana is go
ing to have a banner crop, which
will spell prosperity in big capital
letters for every other industry.
while on the road,'' says Mr..
Shepard, II am still boosting for

head valley has been made famous
in all sections of the state, and

LORIMER OUsrED.

BY vote of IS to % the United
States senate has unseated William
Lorimer, the junior senator from
Illinois, and declared his title to his
seat invalid.
The end of the long fight to
GUST the senator came after six
days of protracted debate, in which
Senator Lorimer himself had occu-
pied the floor for three sessions,
making an impassioned defense of
his election.
The final vote was on the resolu-
tion offered by Lake Lea, senator
from Tennessee, declaring the Lori
mer election by the Illinois legisla-
ture in 1909 invalid. The adoption
of the Lea resolution carried with
it the senate's verdict that "cor-
rupt methods and practices were
employed in the election of William
Lorimer."

HARVEST IS NEAR; NO
RANCH HANDS

Ranchers CT the valley and res
ervation are becoming almost fran
tic in their appeals to the Missioula
employment agents for ranch hands,
with the approach of the harvest
season. says the Sentinel. Two
weeks ago $50 per month was Of
fered for farm laborers. Today this
figure has been raised to $40 per
month, and many CT the ranchers
are willing to pay as high as $50
per month.
The harvest season is many weeks
off. But the ranchers feel that If
the present scarcity of men contin-
ues, none at all can be obtained
during the busy harvest days. Be-
cause Of this many are hiring men
now, with intentions Of keeping
them at odd jobs around the ranch
es, awaiting the opening of the har-
vest weeks.
The hay crop is ready in many
localities. One week ago haymakers
were hired for $50 per month. This
morning the sign on the local en-
ployment agencies bulletins prom
Used $1.75 per day for this class OF
labor.
1t is charged by many agents
probably because CT their inability
to get men-that the wOrkmen out
of jobs in Missoula are waiting un-
til the price of labor goes up, believ'
ing that when the season opens they
will get So and up per day for their
services.

mud. There were IS feet of mud, and
between them and it were these thin
planks that might keel over at any
moment and send them to a s~uffocat-
Ing death. And behind was the hidden
spring of destruction that might loose
its slime again, flood the tunnel and
capsize the planks like cookie shells
en- a turbulent sea.
When the man on the first plank
reached the wall on which the natives
were huddled he called to them:
you've seen the way I've come.
Well. I'm going back, but I'm leaving
thu planks for you to follow on. Crawl
along the planks as much like a snake
as you can"
Slowly the men on the p,anks slid
back, leaving the wooden line behind
them. Slowly the natives followed.
Nobody spoke. The black mass UNI
derueath looked as hard as a rock, but
was as soft as porridge and trembled
horribly.
An each man reached the end plank
he was hauled In to safety and car
ried ha~lf-fainting out Of the tunnel.

mates thought he was a stranger. His
hair was perfectly white.

Queensland Pearl Divers.

The Queensland diver gets into his
dress at daybreak. steps onto the lad
der over the side. and fastens the life
line round him: the tender screws on
the face glass. the pumps are start
ed, and down goes the diver to look
for shell. If he Is on ground WHERE
shell is plentiful he fills his bag, then
allows his dress to fill with air, which
brings him to the surface. when he Is
hauled to the boat by the life line.
He empties his bag onto the deck and
goes down for another bagful. Some
OF the divers occasionally work In
Is fathoms.
The greatest danger with which the
diver has to contend Is paralysis. and
knowing the danger he runs he some
times demands 81. 900 in advance, and
this amount is sometimes lost to the
psarler through the zeal and daring q

Another suggested aus OF glacial

the shifting of the milky way, such as

that much of the earth's heat comes

finds that the change Of position In re-

given a different distribution OF tenn

NEAR AWFUL DEATH
"Mud Rush" in Kimberly Diamond
Pit.
Natives Rescued by Their English
Bosses When Shiny Substance

On Top Of Clay Saved All.

Cape Town, Siberia.-Miners in the
diamond pits of Kimberley need not
fear fire or falling rock, suffocation by
choke damp or sudden death by ex.
plosion, but they have perils to face,
nevertheless.
One morning a band OF natives hard
at work In q corner of the mine were
startled by a dull noise, as II a few
tons Of some soft substance had been
arated the spot where they worked
from the long tunnel that led to the
shaft.

A mud rush means certain death to
all in its track. 1t gives no warning.
1t comes silently like an ugly, wrig.

The Englishmen at the opening to

promptly did. There for the time at
least they were safe.

OF them worthless, but In the end 1t
was decided to try to reach the men,
not by removing the mud, but by pass

One man laid a plank upon the mud
and stretched himself on it. A little
spade was handed to him, with which
he began to cut into the mud and
pull himself along as a man face down
ward In a canoe might pull himself
forward with a paddle. He worked
bravely on, half-inch by half-inch.
Then another man put down a plank
and followed him.
