Chief Justice Brantly of the Mon
tana supreme court died last week at
Missoula after lingering illness.
Judge Brantly had been in Ill
health for some time and recently re-
tired. He refused to be candidate
for reelection last summer, feeling
himself unequal to the strain. His
term would have expired January /,
next. He was a republican.

school of Mines Well Filled


A registration that surpasses that
of last year on the second day of the
term was recorded at the school of
mines, at Butte. At closing time
total of 10 students had registered
for the 1929 term.
Practically all of the new arrivals
were freshmen. At the present time
the different classes are divided as
follows: Seniors, rs; juniors, 10;
sophomores, IA; freshmen, A, and
specials, r.
Not only is the senior class the
largest ever registered at the Mines
school, but the freshman class is also
one of the largest on record. 1t was
predicted by faculty members that
no less than score and half of
students, who have been detained out
of the city, will arrive within the
next two weeks.
Last year the registration for the
term was 135 and it has been esti-
mated that this years enrolment will
exceed that of year ago. However,
this fact can not definitely be deter
mined for at least another two weeks.

the omen rather than spend night
at the old cabin.
Several years passed, and one cold
dismal night a miner left Virginia
CITY for a quartz mine that he was
working about 8 " miles north of the
old toll house. He was urged by his
friends not to attempt the trip, but
being lust drunk enough, and with
a quart bottle in his pocket, he told
them that he had to report for work
in the morning"
This was the last seen of him until
he was found in the spring, after the
heavy snow had melted, not far away
from the Slade cabin; with that look
of horror on his face that only comes
from fright, and the empty flask by
his side. Lost his way in the blind
ing storm and met the spirit-of
Slade.
This was during one of the coolest
winters on record in those parts, and
the snow was deep all over the coun-
try. Coyotes drank from the water
ing trough on Main street, and deer
and elk we're caught with ropes by
men on foot within half mile of
Virginia City.
Range Rider Scared Out
A young, raw-boned range rider,
who was working for the largest
horse outfit in the territory at that
time, had occasion one cold and
bleak winters day to stop at the old
Slade cabin at night, after working
all day trying to relieve snowbound
bunch of starving horses. He started
for home some IL or 15 miles south,
and when he and his pony had broken
snow for miles, he landed at the old
toll house, and, his horses jaded, he
had to go into camp. Covering the
animal with the saddle blanket and
putting it in the old barn, he went |
to the cabin for shelter; tearing up
part of what was left of the floor, |
be built fire and wrapped up as |
best he could in his fur coat and lay |
down, Indian fashion, by the fire; |
soon he was doing and dreaming. |
Just how long was hard to tell, when |
disturbed him and he sat
up, wild-eyed, and glancing through |
lying embers, he saw the bearded |
'orm of Slade-although Slade had
been dead before the cowpuncher was
opposite, and as II
he image had read his thoughts, it
aid: You're right, sonny, what are
rou going to do about it?" And then
he image retreated through the open
loor and was gone.

missing, discovery had been made
at the old dollhouse. Horse thieves
had been making a rendezvous there
throughout the winter and had con-
cealed themselves and saddle horses
in the enlarged cellar beneath the
cabin, and as the thieves had made
their escape so went the spirits.

Sanders history of Montana SAYS
of him: Justice Brantly is represent
tative of all that is best in what we
term the characteristic American.
His inheritance is one of which anv
patriotic citizen would be proud and
he has worthily done his part for the
country which his forefathers helped
to win. In the high duty of passing
the torch of progress with its light
undimmed, he has not merely done
his share, but has given without stint
or measure"

BACKWARD CHILDREN

Backward children are not always,
perhaps not often, backward because
Of either mental deficiency or sloth-
fulness, says the y. s. Public Health
Service. Many of them are backward
solely because of such ordinary and
easily remsdiable defects as adenoids,
near sightedness, or bad teeth.
A case in point was recently re-
ported by the official representative
of the Public Health Service in the
eighth sanitary district of Vermont,
In which the service is cooperating in
a rural health work project.
Medical inspection of one of the
graded schools in October, 1919, showed
that it had been thought necessary
to instruct in special room, sixteen
pupils who had seemed to be unable
to keep up with thoir respective class
es. Physical examination showed
that each OF the sixteen had some Sc
rious hampering physical defect (chief-
~ enlarged tonsils. adenoids, or de-
feetive hearing or eye-sight1 which
rather than any mental handicap, was
the probable cause of their inability.
Through the cooperation of the
school directors, the facts were then
brought to the attention of the parents
or guardians of the children and all
were set right before the end of the
year.
on reorganization of the pupils the
next December de2o) it appeared that
all OF the sixteen previously backward
children had caught up with their
proper grades and were keeping up in
them with their classmates. A year
later, in December, 1921. some of these
sixteen children were among the men,
tai and physical leaders in their re-
spectiye grades.

The horse and buggy as q means of
transportation will be brought back
into use by former soldiers who plan

THE PECAN ORCHARD

Most OF the sections of the United
States are especially adapted to some
one thing better than others. In the
past cotton has always been king in
the south, but most thinking farmers
realize that King Cotton is now a
failure as a one-crop product. One
must now look for something else that
is a sure crop for the south.
In looking over statistics for value
received per acre from farm products,
one viii find that those who are pro-
ducing something in the horticultural
line rather than in the agricultural
line are making by far the most money
for their efforts. And for the south
in the cotton belt, those who now have
a good bearing pecan orchard are re
oceiving more real net cash per acre
than is received from any other horti-
cultural enterprise.
