There is a woman in town who is
going into the chicken manufacturing
business n quite an extensive scale.
The incubator will arrive in a few
days and the warm room, in which
the chicks will battle in sunshine, has
already arrived. The room is about
three by four feet3s with windows on
two or three sides. The prospects
are that the supply Of spring chick
ems in BOzeman will be very fair.

Judge Luce's opinion of the late
lamented, if not demented, Democrat
ic legislature is hardly above par.
For creating commissions so that a
Republican governor could make ap-
pointments, he thinks they we're
chumps. For failing to elect a DEM
ocratic senator he thinks they were
- - -. Altogether the
Judges remarks were not very COM
plimentary. He has the consolation
that he is not alone in his opinions.

their enterprise, and their failure to
make the paper pay is to be regret
ted. The business men z also en-
titled to much credit for the liberal
patronage accorded the paper.
It has been very clearly shown that
a daily cannot be made to pay IN 4
town the size Of BOzeman, or even
to pay expenses. It is stated that
the enterprise has been run at an aV-
erage loss of about 800 a week.
Mr.. Yerkes is an editor Of long ex-
perience and Mr.. Fell a phenomenal
hustler, and there has been no lack
Of energy. It has not been a pleas
ant experience, but their experience
will doubtless be valuable to them in
the future, even if 1t has cost a con-
siderable sized bank account. The
Daily Chronicle has been a good pa
'per-the only trouble was that it has
not been possible to get business
enough out of a community the size
Of BOzeman to justify it's publication.

Mrs. W. J. Beall received on Mon
day from San Francisco the large
portrait Of herself which is to be sent
with others from Gallatin and other
counties to form a picture gallery Of
pioneer women of Montana in the
state building at the Columbian eX-
position. This feature of the state
exhibit will prove an interesting one,
especially if in connection with the
portraits sketches CT the pioneer
women are published with statistics
Of women's work in a pamphlet for
distribution among visitors. The idea
Of the pamphlet, however, will have
TO be given up if it is decided that
it comes under the head Of advertis-
ing matter, the distribution Of which
has been prohibited on the exposition
grounds. Mrs. Beall's portrait is
considered an excellent likeness by
many friends who have e it. The
workmanship is Of a high quality and
the frame, a handsome olive greer
and gold whose richness has no trace
Of gaudiness in it, forms an appro
pirate setting for it. The picture
measures SO by ~ inches outside tht
frame and will certainly be II O
the ornaments of the state building.
