IF THE farmer depends entirely
upon the normal growing season
4 to produce vegetables, his garden
will lack many of the best and
choicest crops, says c. G. Starring, Of
the horticultural department at Mon
tana State college. Such vegetables
as tomatoes, cabbage, caUliflOwer,
celery and others require a compare
lively long growing season to de-
velOp properly and the successful
gardener finds it necessary to bOr-
row a few weeks from late winter
and early spring to give his plants
enough time to mature. The hOtbed
offers the best means of stretching
the vegetable growing season.
The hotbed costs little, is simple
in its construction and management
and therefore should be n of the
essential fixtures on every farm,
says Mr.. Starring. A few boards,

Milton Cauby, a pioneer of Wickes
and East Helena, and a civil war vet
eran as we'll as a member of the Mon

at Helena a few days ago, age SO. Mr..
Cauby was born Jan. 1, 1888, in Cass
county, Illinois. He removed to Put
nam county, Missouri. as a child and
was educated there. He taught
school until his enlistment in 1862
in the First Missouri Cavalry, u. S
A. He served through the Civil wal
in the southwest and later was pro

North Dakota, at which place he
hired out as a bull Whacker in the
service of government troops en-
camped at that point. At the time
he accepted such employment he did
not know whether he would be sent
with the expedition proposed to be
made into the Indian cOuntry-Mon-
tana-under the command of Gen
eral Custer, or a similar organization
commanded by General Terry. When
General Custer departed with his
command, Murphy was left behind,
later going into the valley of the Vel
lOwstOne river with General Terry's
party. While held in prison at Hell
ena at n time, and .%parrating his
life and experiences, he lamented
not having come west with General
Custer. He said that if it had only
fallen to- his lot to have done so he
would have saved the people of Mon
tana considerable amount of trouble
and expense, and he would have died
a patriot.
In connection with his work in the
army he related an amusing incident
which I feel justified in repeating
here in conclusion. Late in the fall
of 1875, while with a company OF
soldiers under command of Lieut.
Baldwin, in northern Montana, They
encountered a number of hostile In.
dams with whom a lively skirmisI
ensued. The soldiers carried som,
12-pOUnd hOwitzers strapped on tn,
backs Of mules, and while the mule.
were trained to allow the gunners t.
shoot from their backs and usual,
behaved quite well, occasionally ate
a shot they would make considerable
disturbance. On the occasion mel
toned several shots had been fire.
by the soldiers from their rifles
when others began d~ischarging thes
small cannon at the Indians from tn
mules backs The Indians immC
diately dispersed and retreated in dis
order. Upon returning to the IL
dian agency at Fort Peck, they do
scribed the encounter to the India
agent. It was stated by them thu
the soldiers ran out of ammUnitio
/, and then commenced to shoot mule
at them, which was dad medicine.
and beyond their comprehension, col
: sequently they ran away.

tested that he should be given a fair
trial, but was told that he had been
tried by the people and found guilty.
A rope was then placed about his
neck, and the sleigh in which he was
riding driven underneath a nearby
telegraph pole. The rope was then
thrown yer the cross arm thereof
and Murphy was advised that his
time had come. Fifty determined
men pulled on the rope, but the

the ground. The Northern Pacific
railroad had been built into Helena
in the summer of 1888 and there
was, a short distance to the north, a
railroad trestle across a coulee, and
to it the party forthwith proceeded.
While going to the railroad bridge,
Con was lying in the sleigh with the
rope around his neck, quiet and pale.
When the bridge was reached he
said in a voice full of despair and at
lection: Brother, kiss mel" His
brother, after wiping away his tears,
leaned over and kissed Murphy on
the lips, saying, Goodbye, brother"
A few moments later Murphy was
no more. There he was hung, the
rope being stretched across one of
the strong beams used in the bridge
construction. Immediately there
after word was heralded throughout
the city of Helena that Con Murphy
had been met on the road to Helena
and hanged by the Vigilantes.

after 400 o'clock, on the afternoon
of that day, Tuesday, January 27,
1885, and gathered with numerous
other interested residents awaiting
by the old courthouse the arrival OF
Murphy's remains. I shall never for

o'clock he was brought in, lying i'll

All of which listens good, particularly that portion relating to future warm win ters.
 It appears, however, that the old timers have failed to take into account the fact that while Alaska has enjoyed a most remarkably mild winter. climes much farther south have shivered in the grip of unusually severe winter wealth CT. Were this pole shifting theory correct and Alaska much further south" than us nal, how come that regions normally much further south have not enjoyed an equally beneficent release from rig or's. There are also a number of strictly scientific objections to the theory, which leaves it dangling like Mohammed's coffin, between Heaven ana, and nary a leg to stand on.

the listing of prospect mining shares on any stock exchange. As a matter of fact, the shares of a company should not be listed until that company has completed its financing and is earning money. This should ap- ply to all shares whether min ing, oil or industrial. Cut rate price quoting of shares of un. financed companies by short selling unlisted brokers is det- rimental to the financing ot these enterprises. As a general rule, purchasers of shares in new development projects in the mining and oil fields pay their money for shares in the company so that the company will have funds to carry oul the development plans. Invest ors in these ventures should hold their shares pending the outcome of the development work. In tins way they will make the full measure of prof. it. After the company has been developed from prospect to mine, the shares may be properly listed on an establish ed stock exchange so that trau- ing in the share may be facili- tated.

Suggestions aimed at protect ing the public from the haz- ards of investing in shares of unsound oil and mining con- panies are becoming increas- ingly frequent. Practically all of the reputable mining journ- als are especially active in proposing remedies for exist ing stock promotion evils, all of which serve a worthy pur- pose in warning the public against unscrpulous and un- justifiable stock promotion schemes. One of the latest sug- gestions in this direction is of- fered by the Denver Mining & Financial Record, which roundly condemns the listing of prospect mining shares on stock exchanges as follows:

In finally deciding the world court issue the United States senate has given the public 8 breathing spell after an argu- r,crt that has extended over a pcliod of more than three years.
 The argument may continue but not with the dignity ot legislative consideration and noj to the exclusion of more i,arortant congressional issues. Il w,,a for that reason that the Senate for the second time in i'5 hiatory invoked cloture in it deliberations. In three years ample opportunity had been afforded for exhaustive de- bate on the question. A fili- buster might have interfered with the passage of the tax re- vision bill in time to put the new blanks in the hands of tax payers before March Is when returns are to be made. Unlimited debate would have delayed action on other 1m- portant issues to come before congress. Thus the issue was forced and now it is settled. The world court issue is one of the international questions solved only by theory. It makes a fertile field for prophets. If only fixed events were to be contemplated some particularly pertinent theory could be applied with some de- gree of assurance of certain re- suits. The United States has voted for adherence to the world court with reservations a ma fority of the Senators deemed advisable. The wisdom or fallacy of the action taken by the Senate by a vote of 76 to IT remains for time to prove. At any rate the vote has finally been taken. The decks are cleared for the considerat- ion of some of our dometsic problems. For that let us be duly thankful.

Gardiner Kept
Busy Flowing Out
Heavy Snowfall

The snowstorm in this city came
to sudden stop shortly after noon
and the afternoon was passed in the
digging out process. About six to
eight inches of snow fell, but 1t was
very light, and there was little or no
trouble in shoveling or sweeping 1t
from the sidewalks. The city teams
were put to work Immediately by
Commissioner Jose, and most Of the
snow was cleared from Water street
before night fall. The tractor snow
pillow made the round of the other
streets about the city so that another
quick job was recorded on snow re-
moval. In the afternoon the snow
began to drift badly but the electric
railway plows were kept moving and
the cars were nearly on schedule, ex-
cept the lewiston Waterville cars,
which were delayed a few minutes.
The Talbot ice crew kept up work
the greater part of the morning but
were forced to quit at noon. Scrapers
have been put at work and the cut
ting and hauling will be resumed this
