"BACK TO THE RANGE"
BY WILL AIKEN

And the air I breathed was soothfn,-pure and sweet and undefled-
There be them whose tastes Is whdin' for a whirl of city life,
And 1 won't be disputatious with such folks as like the strife
But it don't appeal to me!
Only recent I was thinkin' that I'd try 1t, I'll admit;
Years and years I'd herded cattle, saved my dollars, bit by bit;
So, l say, 1 thought I'd try 1t, and I did; 1 didn't fit
And it never fitted me!
Here at home I'd lived and herded on the range, as free and wild
And the ar I breathed We soothin'-pure and sweet and undefled-
1t was always good to me!
But 1 final made decision and I wandered to New York,
Where you've got to dress outrageous and at table ISL a fork;
Where among the waves Of humans you go bobbin' like a cork
All of which was strange to me!
1t was sure complete depressn' how them cavern-dweners live,
Either mflhn' or stampedin' like a herd that's overdrv;
And they elbowed me feroctous in a way I can't forgive
"Dear old Broadway"-not for mel
I'll admit twas fascinatn' for to see the people pour
From the bufldin's in the canyons-guess a million, maybe more;
Look1n mostly wild and worried, like I'd never seen before
Not another sight for me!
For the eiket of Free Bow in the East effect don't go;
But the tablecloth and napkins made a right attractive show
Though of little use to me!
Now I'm teIin' you the people just seemed human only once,
That was down to Coneys Island, where I watched them at their
stunts,
While they told their joy delighted in their whoops and yels and
grunts-
Then they did seem sane to me!
So I spent my modest savin's-didn't want to pack EN- back,
And I hit the long trail homeward, for my little four-square shack,
Where my old cayuse was waiun, with the lariat hangin' slack
Seemed 1 heerd him call to me!
Once again I'm in the open in this great big God-made place,
Where the Great White Ways the Milky, and there's lots of breathin'
space;
1 can see the stars a-winkin', feel the night air on my face
Why, it's all the world to me!

OCTOCENARIAN IS
WORKING IN MINE
BUTTE MINER CELEBRATES HIS
18th BIRTHDAY BY WORK
INK FULL SHIFT.
Has Been Underground for so Years
and Worked in Three Countries;
Started as a Boy in the Coal Mines
OF England.

William H. Sweet, a veteran miner
who has spent virtually so years I'M
foreground and worked in three diff
ferent countries, recently celebrated
his seventy-eighth birthday by put
ting in a full shift at the Mountain
View mine. Mr.. Sweet lives at lit
Pacific street, Centerville.
1t was in the coal mines OF Eng
land when he was still a boy of less
than 20 years that Mr.. Sweet obtain
ed his first experience as a miner.
Mining was not the same in those
times as it is today.
There were no electric motors to
haul the heavy Goa cars, ventilation
was poor and there was ever the dan
ger of a dust explosion and safety
first" devices were practically un-
known. Yet Mr.. Sweet survived all
of those dangers to leave England
some years later for Australia, where
he worked in the copper mines of
that country for a period of five
years.
Then, like many another ambitious
young man, who had heard of the

America. In Pennsylvania he spent
considerable time as a coal miner and
then turned his face toward the west. !
He had heard of Butte, which even
hen was enjoying the reputation of
being the greatest copper mining
amp in the world. With his family,
'or he had married a number of years
before, he started west for Butte.
An interesting item in connection
With this veteran of the mines is the
that when considered from an
ight-hour basis, more than 20 years
# his life has actually been spent
Iundreds of feet below the surface

PLAN TO PROPAGATE NATIVE
GAME BIRDS AT STATE COLLEGE

Fostered by the Montana State
Sportsmen's association, a plan for
the propagation of native birds, such
as prairie chickens, sage hens, blue
grouse, ruffed grouse, fool hen and
pintail grouse, is now being worked
out.
According to M. S. Carpenter. state
secretary of the association, arrange
ments have been made with the de-
partment of poultry husbandry at the
State college at Bozeman to carry out
the idea. 1t is planned to secure a
number of birds of each species, and
which will be shipped to the state
college for the experiment. The task
of capturing the birds will be started
as soon as the plan receives the sane
ton of the state fish and game COM
mission. The birds will be introduc-
ed to domestic environment this win
ter. Should they become accustomed
to the e. way of living, it is expect
ed they will begin mating in the
the same as they do in their
wild state.
Should the plan prove successful,
the task of propagating wild native
birds will be attempted on a larger
scale next season.
While the Hungarian partridge in
troduced into the state within the
few years, gives every indication
of proving a valuable game bird, the
real old-time sportsmen claim there
is no upland game bird the equal of
those that are native to Montana, and
the outcome of the proposed expert
will be awaited with interest.
If successful the experiment will
result in increasing the game supply

CASCADE FARMERS WILL
DOUBLE NEXT BEAN CROP

Cascade county farmers plan TO
double their bean acreage in 1924,
according to r. Il. MacSpadden,
county agent, who has just finish
ed a survey of the 1928 crop in this
section. Mr.. MacSpadden believes
that beans, as an adjunct to diver
sification, now loom as a big pos
sibiIity.
Conditions in Cascade county
are IDEAL" the county agent says,
land while it is a new thing for
the farmers they + gradually
learning to care for them and find
beans a paying crop.
Zone large Chicago house has
purchased the entire Yellowstone
valley crop, packed it in 200 pound
bags and labeled them extra quail
ity.' The bulk of the crop is be-
ing sent to California.
"There is no reason why Cascade
county farmers cannot get into the
game for the growing conditions
here are practically the same. Like
corn, the growing of beans means
a great deal of work, but they are
a stabilizer which give to the farm
Ell a good income.
Next years crop promises to be
several times larger than that of
1925" thinks Mr.. MacSpadden.

Cascade, had six r planted this

triple this. Another who had IL
