TAKES
THE SERIES
cllNCHED VICTORY BY WINNING
SECOND GAME OF SUNDAYS
DOUBLE-HEADER.
SOME FINE BALL PLAYING
Last Game of Series Yesterday After
noon-Locals at a Disadvantage All
the Way Through Because Of Some
Of the Regulars Being Out of Game.

The Butte Union League-Independ
ent team cinched the series in the Sec
ond game of Sundays double-header,
but it took everything the profes-
sionals had to win, and succeeded only
because Lewistown could not present
its regular lineup. Mcnamara. who
has been on the sick list, was back on
third for just one game, and that game
the White Wings won. Fink was out
of the series entirely, and Ploof was
out at the start, but did good service
when he did get back.
AS stated in the last issue of the
Democrat, the first game of the series,
last Tuesday, was copped by Butte by
a score of to 1.
Second Game to Butte.
The second game, played Wednes-
day morning, was taken by Butte, but
only after desperate struggle.
Weiser Dell, the big Lacquer, was in
the box for the visitors and fed his
famous smoke ball to the locals, who,
nevertheless, landed on him pretty
hard. Bryan pitched strong game
for the White Wings. Butte won the
game, to 3.
Lewistown Takes One.
PlOOf and Mcnamara were both
back in their stations for Wednes-
days game, and although MAC" was
not in shape, he played a fine game.
Freidline pitched for Lewistown and
Stevens did the catching. From the
start the locals were on their toes
and they won out by score of to l.

ming. After that Butte never had a
very promising chance. Freidline
pitched his usual heady game and did
some dazzling fielding, and his sup
port was fine. Hildebrand was in the
box for the visitors.
Play in Windstorm.
| Fridays game was started in a
heavy windstorm that increased in
violence as the game progressed
Frequent stops were necessary wher
the clouds of dust rolled over the dia
mond, and finally, at the end of the
seventh, Umpire Fink called the game
the score standing 5 to 0, in favor o
Butte. Klein was in the box for Butte
and proved the hardest pitcher the
locals have faced this year. Warren
who pitched for Lewistown, was hi
quite freely.
Sundays Game.
The first game of the double-heade,
Sunday was the fastest of the Who'll,
series. Lewistown scored a clean-cu
victory, the score standing to !

Jim HILL MAY ERECT
BIG STEEL MILL HERE
PROPOSED PLANS OF RAILROAD
MAGNATE PUBLISHED IN r.
NANCIAL AMERICA.

Financial America, big eastern pa
per of wide, circulation, particularly
in financial circles, contained an ar
ticle which is of vital interest to this
city, containing, as it does, an article
with reference to the announced inten-
tion of James J. Hill, the great rail-
road captain and capitalist, to erect a
steel mill in Montana within the next
few years. Mr.. Hill frankly told the
financial journal of his plans and
stated that the plant would be erect
ed at either Lewistown or Great Falls.
The article, which was in the ma
ture of a personal interview with Mr..
Hill, stated fact which has been Of
general knowledge here for many
years, that Mr.. Hill owns five thou
sand acres of the finest iron ore land
in the United States on Willow creek,
in the western part of Fergus county.
This land was secured by the big
railroad magnate some seventeen
years ago, while j. p. Barnes and
David Hilger were in the United
States land office at this place. Those
In position to know state that this
land comprises great mountain of
iron ore, and Hill has simply been
waiting for proper railroad connec-
tions before beginning the develop
ment of the property.
1t would appear entirely feasible for
Mr.. Hill to locate his big plant in this
city. With the completion of the Lew
istown-Moccasin cutoff, Lewistown
will be much nearer the mines than
any other city of Importance. There
will be better railroad connections
here than any other city can offer,
ample electric power, good water. and
many other favorable conditions.
No doubt the local business men,
through their commercial club, will
take instant cognizance of this very
important matter and the advantages
offered by Lewistown will be brought
to Mr.. Hills notice before he makes
his final decision as to the location
of his big steel industry.

the greatest enthusiasm. One hundred

any convention ever held In Fergus

Fourth Avenue Brings a Record.

Announcement was made last Friday
of the sale of the Petersen corner, at
Fourth avenue and Main street, to
Horace Hill. This property has a
frontage of 80 feet on Main street by
ninety feet on the avenue and is one
of the most valuable business loca.

tion is not made public, 1t is known
that the price paid is the highest ever
given for Lewistown realty, and this
Is the third time Mr.. Hill has made a
new record in tnat respect.
The property has been owned by
County Commissioner julius Petersen
since the early days and the frame
buildings on the ground have been
there for many years. Mr.. Petersen
realized that the value of the corner
made new structure imperative as
a matter of sound business and de-
rcided to let some one else build it.

RAILWAY COMPLETING PLANS
FOR CHANGE-TO BE BUILT
IN THE SPRING.

While no official announcement has
been made regarding the matter. and
probably none will be made for some
weeks or perhaps months, it is prac-
tically certain that with the compile
tion of its line to Great Falls the MIL
waukee road will establish q new
depot and grounds at the head of Main
street. the site including the jackson
property south of the Judith Basin
flour mill. Negotiations for the land
required have not resulted In any sat

completed for good while and the

Clave last week completed the pur-
chase of the Judith Basin Milling COM

The new owners will enlarge and i'm
prove the plant and expect to operate
it continuously at its capacity. Messrs.
War; and McClave organized the Mon

since reached very large proportions,
the concern operating twelve eleva-

over the mills at Harlowton. It is a
matter for congratulation that the
local mill should fall into such hands
1t means an addition to the payroll OF
the city, and in all probability the gen

MORE GOOD LAND
HERE THAN EXPECTED
PRESENT YEARS RESULTS INDICATE
THAT aHARD.pAN' GROUND MAY
GROW CROPS.

One of the most pleasing results
Of the present year. agriculturally
speaking. is the discovery that
those low spots Of ground. which
are light colored. bakes in the sun
when turned over and in its native
state grows a rather tough, dark
green grass, have produced fully as
good crops as the other soil. In
fact the winter wheat seems to
haye done better on that kind of
ground than on land that was here
tofore considered the very best.
The discovery is quite an import
ant one as there is a considerable
quantity of this kind of land in the
country and up to the present
it has been considered as poorly
fitted for agricultural purposes.
The results this year on small
pieces Of this kind of land leads
some to believe that what is known
as the regular hard pan" flats
nigh prove to be all right for grain
growing purposes after they have
been cultivated one or two seasons
but be that as it may, it is enough
to know that these low, hard spots.
of which nearly every quarterS has
a few. will produce good crops the
first year and no doubt will entire

years cultivation.

DIRECTIONS FOR St.
LECTING SEED CORN
DR.. A. N. HUME, AGRONOMlST AT THE
STATE COLLEGE ISSUES BULLETIN
ON SUBJECT.

DIR. Hume's special bulletin upon
the subject of seed corn selection
is in part as follows:
Right now is about the proper
time to scold ourselves because we
did not save sufficient seed corn
one year ago. We all remember
the fact that much seed corn failed
to grow last spring for the simple
reason that it was frozen last fall
before it was even taken from the
field. What can be done about
that now? Nothing. The past is
gone, but the present is here and
the present is the time to get-ready
for seed corn for next spring.
1T is fact that some fields of
corn are partial failure. due to
other causes than seed, but it is al
SO fact that there is ample corn
remaining from which to select an
excellent supply Of good seed for
next spring.
Before Sept. 18th. ears matured
at this date will in all probability
be ripe next year at about the same
time, which is likely to be before
frost.
1t takes about one bushel of
nice shelled corn to plant six acres.
If the kernels are not large, this
may plant little more than six
acres. but Tor the first selection
this amount is at least on the safe
side, one bushel of good corn per
six acres of area which it is ex-
pected to plant.
THE state should produce its
own seed supply. This is matter
of state wide importance and also
a matter OF growing importance
just like corn itself.
Everyone who selects and stores
seed corn should select and store a
good deal more than he will need
for actual planting on his own land.
Why? Because when spring comes
he win still have opportunity to-
select for himself the very finest
ears. Moreover he will have some
good seed corn to sell at a price
which is always certain to be we'll
above the market.
Moreover. every man who Sc
lects and carefully stores seed corn
will have two neighbors who will
be in need of seed corn next spring.
Such statement is true in part
because human nature is as it is.
1t is only good sense and good
business for South Dakota to urge
that the proportion of provident
farmers who store seed corn shall
be as large as possible and that
these also forestall the demand for
seed from their neighbors, which is
quite certain to come.
Go into the field September 10,
with sack over the shoulder and
pick the best ears from the, best
stalks. Place the ears where they
will dry naturally in the shortest
time possible. Except under rare
conditions, they will do better dry
ing without artificial heat than
with it, but they must be we'll air
dried before they are subject to any
low temperature.
A most excellent plan for small
grain growers is the old one of ty-
ing the ears in lots by strings and
hanging them in the summer kitcll-
en- where there is no steam or per-
haps in the attic above the stove
pipe.
THE point is that the ears should
should be exposed to a good cir.
culation of air and protected from
hard freezing. Think about it now.
