THOUSANDS SEE
4 GOOD CIRCUS
sELLS-FLOTO PLEASED TWO BIG
CROWDS WITH THEIR Elk
CELLENT SHOW.

A thoroughly clean and wholesome
circus. with many new features, good
performers, clever clowns. etc, was
the general verdict of the thousands
of people who witnessed the Sells
Floto circus in Brunswick yesterday
afternoon and last night.
That the immense crowd was more
than satisfied with the exhibition put
up by the circus was evidenced by
the many complimentary remarks
heard on the streets by the crowds.
In the first place, the parade was
one c. the best that has ever been
seen in Brunswick. 1t was a long
procession, well arranged, with many
attractive features, and it is doubtful
if the larger crowd of people ever
swarmed the streets Of Brunswick to
view a similar event
The immense tent was crowded at
both the performances, and it is esti-
mated that possibly ten thousand PEG
pie or more saw the two perform
ances Nearly every act in the cir
Gus was q good one. The trapeze
work was away above the average;
the riding was excellent. the aero
battle work as good as has ever been
seen here the horses were pretty
and well trained, as were the six bis
elephants The bareback and trick
riding was great, and, to give the cir
Gus all that is coming to it, it was
considered by many one Of the best
performances of the kind ever seen in
this city. Clean throughout, good
music. clever actors, funny clowns
and not u drag throughout the two
hours is what made the performances
so pleasing to the throngs of people.

New Body; Big Work in Front of
Commission.

David Hilger, the we'll known
LeWlstown banker and landowner,
has been named by Governor Stewart
as the third member of the newly
created tax commission. Charles Nc
Namara of Big Sandy, concluding
that his extensive private interests
would demand his close attention,
rendered his resignation to the gov
ernor. Mr.. Hilger will go to Helena
Immediately and participate in the
organization of the commission. Mr.,
Hilger's colleagues are Charles Leon
ard, prominent Butte attorney, and
William Lindsay of Glendive, and
it is understood that the commission
will Immediately organize and com
mence it's work.
This work will be of stupendous
character. Its purpose, as everyone
knows, is to bring about some plan
by which taxation may be equalized.

The miners not only approved of the
suggestion but they subscribed for
$4,000 in gold nuggets to pay the
expense of Edgerton to Washington.

CON 0REM'S IDEA
CREATED A STATE
PIONEER PUGILIST SUGGESTED
DIVISION OF IDAHO INTO
TWO TERRITORIES.
As Result of Outdoor Meeting of
Miners in Bannack, Sidney Edger-
ton Was Sent to Washington and
Lobbied Through Bill Creating
Montana Territory.

Con Orem, first heavyweight
champion pugilist of the territory,
and the father of State Mining In
spector William Orem, was the man
who started the movement looking
to the division of what was then the
territory of Idaho, and the creation
of the new territory of Montana
Orem is known in the early history
of the territory as first-class fighting
man and won a number of notable
battles in the pioneer days, but there
are few who know that he figured in
the creation of the new territory.
Wilbur E. Sanders tells of this SER
vice of Orem. One Sunday morning
in 1854 the male residents of Ban
mack had gathered on the main
street for social gossip, as was their
custom. Orem climbed into a wagon
and addressed the crowd. He dwelt
on the hardships of his hearers in a
political way, so far removed from
the seat of government, and suggest
ed the division of Idaho, the creation
OF new territory, the seat of gov
ernment of which should be Ban
mack.
Edgerton Sent to Washington.
The idea found instant favor with
the miners. Other speeches along
the same line were made, and senti-
ment crystalized in a resolution IA
voring a division. Sidney Edgerton,

gress would pass the conscription

employment offices in Butte and 9TH

hundreds of applications for the SER

been a marked change in the attitude
of men who frequent the employment

Farmers have reported that they

perts, and may send outside of the
state to engage specialists. 1t is al
so probable that several local inves-
tlgators will be engaged by the COM
mission. The taxation records of
every county will be gone into thor
oughly. There is said to be a wide
discrepancy in assessed valuations in
all lines and an effort will be made
to standardize valuations. The COM
mission will also take up the matter
OF mine and corporate taxation and
the taxation of foreign corporations
operating in the state, like express
and sleeping car companies.
Report to Legislature.
1t is expected that this work will
take, in it's consummation, the great
er part of the time at the disposal of
the commission. The plan is that the
commission shall make an exhaustive
report of it's findings to the next
legislative session, which will con-
vene on January 1, 1919, and the
report will be made the basis of new
laws regarding taxation. The COM
mission has at it's disposal an ap-
preparation of $4,000 with which to
defray the expense of this investiga-
ton, and there are many who are
inclined to believe that this amount
will be insufficient.
Mr.. Leonard has very intimate
knowledge of the mining industry,
and in addition to this knowledge, is
lawyer Of standing and ability. Mr..
Lindsay is particularly we'll informed
on the ranching and livestock con-
ditions, and Mr.. Hilger, who has had
much experience in agriculture, and
has probably bought and sold as
much land as any other man in the
state, will bring to the commission a
valuable knowledge of farm values.
Is a Pioneer.
incidentally Mr. Hilger is one of
the pioneers of the state. He came
to Montana so years ago, when about
nine years Of age. His family made
the long trek across the plains in the
party of Captain Davies, who, in
1867, brought to Montana a company
of 60 families and 800 single men.
With his father, Judge Nicholas Hill
ger, he located in Helena, in which
city he grew up to manhood. He
went to Fergus county in 1881, and
engaged in the sheep business, be-
came active in politics, and in 1894
was appointed register of the Lewis
town land office. When his term of
office expired he engaged in the landN
business, in which he was very sue
cessful. He has been identified with
many successful business undertake
ings in Lewistown, and was factor
in inducing the Milwaukee to build
through the Judith basin. The pros
porous town of Hilger is named in
his honor.

respected citizens of the place. In
one of his fights he had won a heavy
gold championship belt, made large

the fame won by his skill as heavy
weight boxer, and in his later years
would not discuss his early day ex-
ploits. Finally he caused his gold

Willis Haviland, Butte boy serv-
ing with the American airplane
squadron in the French army. dis
mentioned in the dispatches as one
OF the heroes of a desperate battle
with German machines, and which
was won by the American birdman.
The fight occurred at an altitude of
10000 feet. Haviland shot down his
German adversary, his companion
winged another machine, while a
third German flew away from the
scene of the encounter.

Young Haviland is we'll known in
Butte, where he was born. attended
school and grew to manhood. He en-
listed in the French service early and
drove an ambulance until William
Thaw organized the American flying
corps which he Joined and in which
he has since distinguished himself.
He has been twice decorated for
bravery, and it is thought that his
latest exploit will bring his addition

Lived Adventurous Life.
Haviland, for young man, has
enjoyed a life of adventure. When
he had finished high school he en-
listed in the navy, and, ten years ago,
made the trip around the world with
the American naval forces. He was
discharged. His term of enlistment
expired when he was about 21 years
Of age, and when the war broke out
he went to France and enlisted.

WIND-PROOF STOCK SHELTER
It Should Be Made Strong Enough to
Withstand Any Wind-Set End
Posts in Cement.

In constructing stock shelter IN
an open field particular care should
be taken to make it substantial
enough to withstand any wind short
of a tornado. A little foresight in
this regard may save the loss of valu-
able animals at some later time. TO
this end the posts should be firmly
set, preferably in cement, and the
upper framework should be snugly
bolted or spiked together.
If the three inclosed sides are COM
posed of loose boards, set on end at
an angle Of 40 degrees and banked in
place with straw, about the worst a
heavy wind could accomplish would
be to elbow out" the sides. Little
damage to stock would be likely to
occur in such an event.
A shelter of this kind, with its top
as well as it's sides heavily straw-cov-
cred will for all practical purposes be
as permanent as though its sides had
been nailed firmly in place. With it's
open side toward the south it will
prove weather-proOf, warm and quite
adaptable to creature comfort.

GRINDING FEED FOR HORSES
Improbable That 1t Pays Except Where
Animals Are at Hard Work or
Have Poor Teeth.

Answering the query as to whether
it pays to grind oats or corn for horses,
and which would give best results,
Prof. B. E. Carmichael of the Ohio ex-
pertinent station makes the following
reply:
'It is improbable that grinding
either corn or oats for horses will pay
excepting in cases where the horses
are at very hard work or have poor
teeth. Even in instances Of this KIND
it is not at all certain that profit Will
always result from this rather expen-
sive operation. Soaking corn that is
exceedingly dry and hard is advisable.
AS q general thing it seems that 1t Is
safe to regard ear corn and oats, both
of good quality, approximately equal
in feeding value per pound for horses.
eff there is a tendency to swallow
the feed without thoroughly chewing,
II would be worth while to devise a
method of feeding that would render
If imposSible for the feed to be eaten
so rapidly. Mixing Il small amount OF
bran or chatrcd hay with the grain
might be Of assistance, or the same
result might be accomplished by put
ting large pebbles in the feed box. IL
is we'll to determine whether the teeth
are in good condition, whenever there
is evidence that the feed is poorl!

''The next time that I met the

hung. Turning to the princess, his
royal highness said.
Hello, there's Smith"

said Mr.. Gatewood. Charcoal is best
fed from the hopper or self-feeder, so
as to prevent waste.
"It is a common practice to burn
cobs until the cob is well charred,
and then the fire is smothered and the
hogs are given access to this. Some
people char their cobs in pit, and
when the fire has gained good head
way, the top of the pit is covered with
a piece of sheet metal, and then coT-
cred with dirt to keep out the air. The
charcoal can then be used as it IS
needed. 1t is advisable to add salt to
the charcoal as it makes it more pal
atable, and is also especially good for
the hogs" =

SPRING WORK WITH TURKEYS
Often Necessary to Hatch Eggs by In
cubator or Chicken Hen-Plan
to Brood Poults.

Turkey eggs are Matched with tur-
KEY hens, chicken hens and incubators,
During the early part Of the laying
season there are often a number OF
eggs on hand that should be Matched
before any of the turkeys finish laying
their first eggs and become broody.
When this occurs or when it is de-
sired to have the turkey hen lay more
than one litter, some Of the eggs VIII
have to be Matched under chicken
hen or in the incubator.
Before the poults are Matched, say
a week, turkey hens should be allowed
to take some of the eggs that are incu-
bated. They can be given a few eggs
from the incubator or from under
chicken hens and allowed to hatch the
poults. Another plan is to slip newly
matched poult under a turkey hen at
night and by morning she Will be glad
to take the whole brood.
