Preparing For Busy Year.

In anticipation of q busy year in
transportation mstters, the Great
Northern has, during the past week,
placed At work upon the Butte divi-
sion thirteen extra gangs OF track
laborers, sggreg ating $50 men. These
men, at work much earlier in the
spring than il usual in such cases,
will be engaged in laying new steel,
rip-rapping the roadbed along the
Missouri river, constructing concrete
cu'verts and general he'terments ot
the line.
Steel is arriving for the two mon.
ster bridges on the Shelby line, near
Collins, to replace the long frame
trestles which have been maintained
there, and the placing OF this steel
will commence in a couple of weeks.
The extra gangs will be employed all
spring and most of the summer.

Montana Pays Both Ways.

Montana hay at $40 q ton 10 being
fed to cows In Wisconsin and In turn
Wisconsin butter is being shipped to
Montana for consumption, says the
Bozemsn Courier. Does not that
statement have some Significance to
the farmers who have marketless hay
on their hands In the Gallatin val.
ley?
Former Governor board OF Wis.
consin, on his great dairy farm in
Jefferson county, Wis., last year fed
Montana hay which cost him go per
ton to his cows and made big money.
The Montana public then paid for sb At
hsv. with accumulated freight and ex.
press ch arges both ways, In the shape
Of butter which was shipped into Mon.
tans to supply the wants here.
That looks 40 though some link in
the doctrine OF economical production
10 being overlooked, does it not?
Supply Montana with dairy COWS and
with local creameries and this wsste-
full course will end. Montana could
then turn her own hay into butter and
cheese with an immense saving.
Further, Montana would keep At home
the food of millions of dollars which

dairy products.
Most of the inspira alton for better
laws governing dairying, and much
of the Information which has opened
the eyes of Montana agriculturists
toward the possibilities Of the dairy
have come from the Gsllatin valley
At the state college Prot. r. w
CLARK and Prof. r. c. Jones havl
been fighting on behalf of the anal
dairymsn and the email creamery
One of their fights has been to stol
unfair means used by the big cream

Shot Woman By Mistake.

Further particuia ars of the shooting
affair on the upper Shonkin were re-
ceived here Thursday evening, when
Under Sheriff Wilson arrived with
Jake Bishop and Fred Johnson in
custody. The shooting is not likely
to have serious results, as nobody was
badly hurt.
The trouble is said to be due to the
visit of one Chas. Shilling at the L.
T. Bishop ranch, where Fern Verrill
was keeping house for her uncle. Itap.
pears that Jake Bishop and Fred
johnson, who are relatives OF Mrs.
Verrill, resented Skilling's presence
at the ranch Wednesday evening, and
went there with a determin alton to
drive him away. According to con.
tiicting accounts OF the aft air, Shilling
received charge of small shot in the
legs, and when he went into the house
to secure a gun, Mrs. Verrill came
outside to stop the shooting. In the
arkness her relatives mistook her fol

discovered her identity.

method of attem mpting to hasten the
departure OF an unwelcome visitor
but according to friends of the parties
| implicated in the matter there were cir
cumstances that may have formed
some excuse for their action.

Gently published statistics, there are
$50 in modern Italy, were a century
or more ago regarded as pic
turesque feature of English country
houses. Samuel Rogers records that
Archibald Hamilton, afterward duke
of Hamilton, advertised for a hermit
as an ornament to his pleasure

the said hermit should have his beard
shaved but once year, and that only

Mark Powyss, an English squire. of,
fered $3.50 a year for life to any man
willing to live as a hermit on his es-
tate for seven years. He was to be

and other comforts, and in return had
to abstain from straying around his
hermitage and from cutting his hair
beard or nails.
The offer was accepted by a mar
who abode by the conditions for foul
years and then threw up the job.
