Nearly 200 pioneers have been en-

society will be held each year. on the
first day of the eastern Montana fair
at GlendiTe.
Among old-timers of special note
who were in attendance were Will

WEST UNBEATABLE
SAYS JOHN CLAY
MAN WHO MARKETS MUCH OF
MONTANA'S LIVESTOCK
Is AN OPTIMIST
With Tremendous Crops of Hay and
Grain This Year Montana Will
Quickly Come Back; Has Kept in
Close Touch With This Section for
Half q Century.

Bad weather last year coupled will
tight money and increasing transpor-
tation costs, dealt the livestock in
dustry the worst blow it has ever
sustained. This, is the opinion OF
John Clay, of the commission firm OF
Clay, Robinson & Co., Chicago, who
was in Billings few days ago. Cat
tie and sneep men suffered more, he
said, during the IL months which
ended May l last, than they did in
the historic black year of 1886.
But" he added, Montana and
the great west are unbeatable. They
never know when they are beaten.
And with tremendous crops of grain
and hay this year, they will recover
quickly. In two or three years there
will be no trace of the bad effect of
the past year.
The physical condition of the west
is excellent. There is more grain,
more hay, more grass than ever be-
fore. In fact, this great country is
Overlooking with prosperity.

tight money situation. Money issstill
tight. But conditions are getting
better. This has been brought about
by the wonderful crops ofwheat, &C.
reals and beets. The west is made of
sheer nerve. Everybody is an optim-
list, and optimism is unbeatable"
Mr.. Clay has been in close touch
with the livestock and other inter
ests of the west since he came to this
country from Scotland in 1874. In
terested in a string of western banks
as we'll as livestock, he has kept
closely in touch with this section of
the country for nearly half century,
and though he lives in Chicago, he
says he is never satisfied unless he
can visit Montana and Wyoming four
Or five times a year. And he does |
It now with greater ease than form
srly. It used to be that he crossed |
The Atlantic almost as often as he
crossed the Montana state line. He
has made 80 odd trips to Britain and |
he continent. But he said laughing
y that the income tax had interfered
somewhat OF late with that practice.

Grey Wolf Follows Auto.

1t is seldom that gray wolf will
invite violent death by prowling
about an inhabited ranch in broad
daylight. It's not the nature of the
animal. But large gray wolf met
just that kind of death by just such
careless prowling about the ranch
of Louis Pitman near Belgrade few
days ago.
The animal was first discovered by
Casey Shanholtzer tand Virgil Pit
man, who fastened to secure q rifle
at the neghbor's some distance away,
the trip for the gun being made in
an automobile. While they were af-
ter the rifle the animal was seen
by Louis Pitman and his son, neither
of whom had larger calibered rifle
than .22.
Upon the return of Casey and Vir-
gil the wolf was till prowling with
IN 200 yards of the Pitman home, and
Virgil downed him with one shot.
The animal weighed so pounds.

Of the army over fifty years ago" writes
J. B. Asheman. Like many others, !

or write all day with comfort. Friends are
surprised at the change
HOW IT HAPPENED.
Mr. Ashelman is only one Of thousands
who suffered for years, owing to the gener-
al belief in the old, faise theory that"Uric
Acid" causes rheumatism. This erroneous
belief induced him and legions of unfor-
tunate men and women to take wrong
treatments You might just as well at
tempt to put out a fire with oil as to try
and get rid Of your rheumatism, neuritis
supposed TO drive Uric Acid out of your
blood and body. Many physicians and sci
entists now know that Uric Acid never did,
never can and never VIII cause rheuma-
tism; that 1t is natural and necessary
constituent Of the blood; that 1t is found
In every newborn babe; and that without
1t we could not live!
These statements may seem strange to
believe in the old Uric Acid humbug. 1t
took Mr. Ashelman fifty years to find out
this truth. He learned how to get rid Of
the true cause of his rheumatism, other /

to be the only separator on the mar
ket with a continuous frame, being
built on a Howe truss. The sepa-
rator alone costs $3.50 to $500 less
than others.
1t only requires a IL to 15-horse
power engine to do the work which
In other machines requires a 35-horse
power engine, a big saving in engine
and coal, according to Mr.. Owen. The
cost of the engine required to run an
old-fashioned separator of similar ca
pacity would be nearly $1,000. The
Butte machine would require an en-
CINE costing about $1,700. This is
due to the absence of friction which
was brought about by eliminating I'M
necessary parts. Through the eIimi-
nation of friction, only one-half< the
power is required. The Butte ma
chine has only three belts as against
from z to 25 In other makes.
Handles All Kinds.
This machine" said Mr.. Owen,
who had charge of the demonstration,
will handle all kinds of grain, I'M
der all conditions, without loss of
time. 1t is lighter more simple,
more easily kept in order, more easily
moved, more economical and inf
nitely easier to adjust to any require
ment."
He said that an Owen-Maginn ma
chine with a 36-inch cylinder and a
60-inch separator would cost 1890.
An engine would cost $1,700. The
cheapest separator on the market
now costs $3.50, while the engine
costs $4,000, which makes a differ
ence in favor of the Butte machine
of nearly $4,000.
Mr.. Owen and Dr.\ Maginn propose
to organize a company to manufac-
ture the machine in Butte. 1--WE will
