Oats are retailing at $3.50 per
cwt., and it is said that most of the
grain in the valley is now in the
hands of the dealers.
A majority of the farmers of the
valley are through seeding and are
devoutly praying for the usual early
showers to bring on the grain.
E. H. Hawkins, one of our straw
berry r~aisers, says the prospects for
the coming crop are good, though the
berries will be in the market later
than last year.
The schedule time on the Bozeman
and Virginia City mail line will
| change today, May 1. The time as
per contract i0 1914 hours from Boze-
man to Virginia City.
What we need now more than any
other one thing is a good soaking
rain to bring up the grass and grain.
We shall doubtless have it by and
by, but we want it now when the
ground is so dry.
The farmers in the valley are SOW
ing a larger acreage to grain this
spring than usual. Prices are good
and the prospect is favorable for a
better and more remunerative mar
ket in the future.
Rev. DR.. Sanderson, a divine of
marked ability and experience, hav-

Mrs. Sanderson, owing to i'll health,
may not come to Bozeman for perma-
nent residence for some time.
The many friends of William Ellis

A tramp who was evidently steal
ing a ride on the N. P. railroad

. ously injured, he is now carrying hi
eye in a sling.
A large volume of smoke Indicate
an extensive timber fire near tn
head of Cottonwood or the west for.
of Middle creek; yet it is so unusua
q" to see a timber fire so early in tn
spring, especially so high up in tn
mountains, that the smoke may b
- issuing from a big campfire in
wood-choppers' camp.
Work is progressing f~avorably o

There is no Disgusting the fact thi
Bozeman is moving along to fame al
fortune with an impetuosity tn;
seems irresistible. Real estate
les now constantly changing hands, va
M e s. are steadily increasing and pre-
nd arations for erecting substantial bus
ar ness blocks and handsome residene,
are being made with an appare,
N earnestness and frequence never b
" fore manifested in the history of Il
town. And yet we believe that pro
- erty is cheaper in Bozeman tod;
than in any other Incorporated TOW
in the state.
