Should the crack Glendive team meet
with success against the teams of
Eastern Montana and Western North
Dakota, they will be sent to Minnea-
polls, to enter in the annual tourna-
ment of the International Association
next spring.
Messrs Snyder & Lambertson are to
be commended for the manner in which
they are conducting the alleys. The
place is scrupulously clean, and it is
indeed a rare pleasure to be able to
toss the big spheres in so nice
place.

Homestead settlers in Montana are
likely to find a more liberal interpre-
tation of the public land laws as a
result of the fight which Congressman
Evans has been making since he en-
tered the house two years ago. Dur
ing his service in congress he has per-
sistently endeavored to tighten the
burdens of the settlers in the western
states and there are signs that his ef-
forts are beginning to bear fruit.
Delay in the issuance of patents and
in surveying public lands, together
with the espionage system under which
special agents Of the interior depart
ment spy upon struggling homestead
ers, has been particularly denounced
by Mr.. Evans. Shortly after he en-
tered the house he introduced bill
reducing the amount of annual cul-
tivation required of land and provid-
ing that entrymen may receive credit
for improvements and for slashing,
clearing and otherwise preparing land
for cultivation, All Of his labors in
behalf Of Montana settlers has been
directed toward inducing the depart
ment of the interior to deal with them
more literally and to treat them as
honest, law abiding citizens rather as
persons desirous of circumventing the
public land laws.

Now that Glendive in particular and
Dawson county in general has earned
the signal honor of holding the am
ateur championship of Eastern Mon
tana and Western North Dakota in
baseball; and as the Dawson County
High School bids fair to capture the
same title this Fall in Football, it is
fitting and proper that Dawson county
hold the same sort of honors in Bowl
ing.
With this end in view, the present
owners of the Glendive Bowling al
leys, Messrs. Snyder & Lambertson,
have arranged to give each week a
series of cash prizes ranging all the
way up to cash prize of $500 for
each perfect score of 800 points.
The individual prizes which are in
effect all the time are: $1.OO for each
ten straight spares and $500 for each
eight straight strikes.
The High scores recorded from the
time of the opening of the alleys up to
last evening, are as follows:
Don F. Mack, 235

The breeding of improved varieties

it is hoped that by hybridizing them

discoveries won for him the Nobel

rigiJity of the earth is virtually that

earth Is distorted by the action of the
sun and moon about oue-fourth as
much as water. The chief apparatus
for the experiments is tube 500 feet
dong and eight inches in diameter, half
tilled with water. and sunk six feet
in the ground. As the sun and moon
draw the water to one end OF the tube
or the other, the difference in the lev
.sel Is measured with instruments of ex-
1reme delicacy. The average change
in level between the two ends has
been found TO be one-thousandth of an
