mountains from the Missouri to

West Of the Divide, the brigade
trapped along the tributaries of the
Snake river from the three Tetons.
Once they were badly frightened by
Indians Ross thought we're Piegans.
Two of his men came near being cap
tured, but escaped and warned the
camp, which the Indians later visit
ed protesting friendship. When they
left, the cannon was fired, and served
an effectual warning that they were
not to return.

met party of Henry's brigade. from
st. Louis. The Americans had been
trapping ON tbs Big Horn. They
had nine hundred beaver pelts, which
they refused to sell TO Ross. Not
withstanding his failure to purchase
the furs of the Americans, he reached
Spokane House In November with
$4,000 worth Of fur, where he
helped to outfit Peter Skene OGDEN,
for his first trip to the Snake eoun-
try. "He says Ogden set out with
one hundred and seventy-six men I'M
der him and definitely counted on
collecting 14,500 beaver. No doubt
the st. Louis trappers Ross left on
the Snake were the men who re-

ii Is interesting to note that at the
price st. Louis traders paid for the
furs, $3.50 beaver, those 1880

the exact amount with which Gem

by the foregoing is plain, and be-
trays the lawless struggle that was
waged between the different COM
panies.

WOOL CLIP SHOWS
AN INCREASE OVER YEAR 1928

An increase of approximately 16,-
100000 pounds in the wool clip of
the United States is reported for the
year 1924, over 1928. Last year
in wool production took place in the
States was about 223.000,00O pounds
and the latest estimate for the pres
emit year gives production of about
239, 100000 pounds. An analysis of
the figures shows that a decrease

north Atlantic and south Atlantic
states, while all other sections
showed an increase. The far west

use OF COMBINE
HARVESTER PROVES
PROFITABLE HERE
(From Montana State CoIIege)

lTy HE use of the combine harvest
/ er is proving profitable on many
a farms In Montana, according te
review of opinions from users OF
such machines, found in Bulletin II
of the Montana State College Exten.
sion Service. This bulletin on IRE
ducing Harvesting Costs" takes up
the experiences of different men, with
combines In Montana. and provides
answers for many of the questions
that necessarily arise when the mat
ter of combine harvesting in the
state is considered.
Discussing the subject, and consid-
ering the costs of using the combine,
the bulletin states:
at is evident from a study of the
replies that cost per acre will vary
greatly. The average cost per acre
given by Montana combine men is a
little more than two dollars where
grain yields from l5 to 20 bushels
to the acre. These men haul their
grain in bulk and DO not stack It,.
The figure is perhaps little low.
Accurate cost studies In the states
OF the Pacific coast indicate that dur
ing the past few years their costs
have been from three to three and
one-half dollars per acre. The Mon
tana farmer who is planning to pur-
chase q combine should figure his
own possible operation costs on a
basis Of the amount of labor required
TO combine and dispose of the grain
on the farm, rather than upon a dol
lars-and-cents basis which will vary
with yields and prices
Some of the answers to the ques-
tion, Have you had trouble with wet
weather." are interesting. Out OF
the 40 replies to this question 81 an
swered No and 10 "Yes.''
One man wrote Montana wealth
er Is fair for combines. You will get
bad fall once In while. but you
get this with any harvesting" This
man was from Fergus county. An
other from the neighboring county OF
Judith Basin replied, wet weather
will slow you up but don't let this
worry you. Grain will stand wet
weather better standing than in the
stack
On the matter OF favorable com
bine harvesting weather, records at
the Havre, Montana, Weather Bureau
for the 4O-year period ending 1928,
show that there were 10 ten-day per-
iods at the close of July that were
free from rain. For the first 10 DAYS
of August, Is years were without
rain; for the second ten-day period
ls years were without rain and for
the last ten days of August, 26 of

When You Buy a Piano.

sMusic has become so much a part
of the American home that the house
without piano is rare. With chill
dren in the home, d piano is no
luxury.
When you have decided to buy a
piano. if you are not musical your
self. telephone the neighborhood
music teacher and ask her to accom-
pany you and help you pick out a
good instrument She. through teach
ing and playing, has learned to Judge
good tone in an instrument.
Looking at a row of pianos. your
choice of case comes first. Mahogany
looks best III Il parlor, but shows
every spot or finger print. Dull
mahogany is not yet in general use
but will be more adaptable than the
shiny finish for permanency. Rose
wood and oak are serviceable Fancy
cases. either in color or decoration,
are wholly impractical for the aver
age home.
The sounding board which is the
foundation of a pianos tone, is the
back board of an upright. and lies
fiat beneath the strings of a grand.
Standard makes of pianos are al
ways safest to buy. You get the
company's guarantee and reputation
with your purchase. A reputable
dealer always sells pianos which he
can indorse.
Do not buy a harsh in
strument just because it may be a
bargain, for tone deteriorates rather
than strengthens with age.
AS you play the keys, be sure that
all of them respond instantly to the
touch If they linger, the action is
too easy and will not stand use, or
if they do not go down quickly, the
action is too stiff and may remain
difficult to play. Often a stiff ac-
ton. when worked upon to free it,
loses it's resiliency. The most salts
