Were it not for the newspapers we would scarcely know anything of this nag and feathered\ here. The local hanks have continued business in a regular way, without changing their customary rules in any way what- ever. The fall in prices of many coin. modities and the absence of a wheat market, which is to reopen next week, will somewhat reduce the sum total of new money coming to our citizens this fall, but taken altogether the people of Fergus county will be put to no particular loss on their total re- ceipts. Joan L. Beebe, cashier of the Em- pire Bank & Trust company—I do not see any occasion for the slightest uneasiness now. So far as Fergus county is concerned, we would be in better shape today, but for the sus- pension .of wheat buying than we . have been for many years, and I un- deratand that the buying of wheat will be resumed Monday. Reports from the east are daily more en- couraging, and it is now safe to as- sume that the whole trouble is about over.

FOLEY5110NEYANDTAR [ 11 1 / 1 11 GOSSIPI A OF THE TOWN I The, weather proptiets are all busy telling just what sort of a winter we have ahead of as, Most of them rely on waat are kaown as \Indian signs.\ and the fact that most of the weather sharps agree that the coming winter Is not going to be an excessively se- vere one will give comfort to a good many people. County Treasurer E. P. Chandler Dee his faith to just one sign, and by that he predicts a mild winter. \Over 20 years ago,\ said Mr. Chandler, \the late Causer Stephens told me what he went by in forecasting the winter. Where he got it from I do not know, but he told me it had never failed up to that time, and ever since I have followed it and am prepared to say that it has delivered the goods for tee past 20 years at least. The rule is simply this: If the first storm af- ter the equinox turns off warm, the winter will be moderate and open. If it turns off cold, prepare for a long and very hard winter. Well, this fall the first storm after the equinox turn- ed off warm, and so I say the winter is going to be a comparatively mild David Bulger goes altogether on In- dian signs, and he says that in this section at least they all point to a rather severe winter, but nothing ex- cessive as to severity. \The beaver are building their dams high and put- ting away large stores of food, and the other signs tend the same way. The Indians used to say 'tall grass; deep snow; Well, we have certainly had the tall grass this summer, and now look out for the deep snow.\ Doctor Long, who has a reputation as a \short distance\ weather propnet, but who cen hardly claim standing among those who give out th.e dope on a whole winter ahead, for the reason that he has a habit of leaving for foreign parts aboat the time J. Frost gets busy, agrees, however, that the coming winter will not be one of unusual severity, A well known practicing physician of this city calls attention to the un- deniable fact that our mild winters are not the best thing for the people. \There is always very much leas sickness when our winters are bitter- ly cold than when they are mild, with thawing weather prevailing during the day. That is the kind of weather here that brings on pneumonia, the grip and other ailments. One rea- son for this is, of course, that in long continued severe weather the people take better care of themselves. When it Is warm and mellow, men are inclined to disregard every sort of precaution and expose themselves. Then, too, the warm winter always brings many rapid changes of temper- atures. We have seen a difference of 50 degrees here In an hour or so, and such conditions do not make for good health.\ On the occasion of his visit to Fort Benton last summer, Rev. J. A. Mar- tin secured an interesting relic—one of the adobles used In the construc- tion of the old fort, around whch so much history clusters. There is little left of the old fort now but a society Cures Colder Prevents Pneumonia has just been organized at Benton to reatOr c yte old structure. Wm David G. Be going the president. Next month a. dance will be Risen at the Union hotel to hell , along the good cause, and there is considerable inter- est all over the state in this project to rebuild the structure put up by the fur traders so long ago. The adobte brought back In Mr. Martin was giv- en by him to Clerk of the Court J. B. Hitch, who intends to present it to the high school museum. Last week nearly every paper in the state received from a big eastern linen manufacturing concern letters calling attention to the great value of flax straw which was being burned by farmers ea a waste product. An American inventor has perfected a mechanical and chemical process by which this flax straw is transformed into beaUtiful white linen fibre in the short space of t2 hours, achieving re- sults that formerly required from 16 to 30 weeks. in addition to the in- creased value of the straw, attention is called to the corresponding in- crease in the value of flax seed, and the concern sending out these let- ters appeals to the farmers to take ad- vantage of this source of income. All of which simply brings to mind the fact that while flax has never been cultivated to any extent In Montana, there are several sections in which it is easily grown. It is no idle boast to say that no part of Montana ig so well adapted to flax culture as Fer- gus county. This has been demon- strated in several ways, and it is well known that in several parts of the basin, flax grows and flourishes wild. It can be seen close to Lewistown and a few years ago one agriculturalist took the trouble to cultivate a small patch of it, just by way of experiment, The seed was sent east—to St. Paul or Minneapolis—and given a thorough test. The report on it W RA that no FARM FOR RENT I have 320 acres of first- class wheat land to rent for a term of years. There are about 150 acres broken and ready to put into:wheat. 150 acres more can be cultivated. Good buildings, well water and a running stream through the place. All fenced. This property adjoins the Beebe & Blod- gett ranches about five miles northwest of Lewis- town. Here is an excel- lent opportunity for the right man.

Now, however, that flax is looking up so rapidly, it mitt be well for some of our farm! era to give the subject attention. S. S. Hobson, who has paid more or less attention to the matter for several Years. says the entire Judith basin ts peculiarly adapted to the cultivation of flax, and when the experiment farm is in full operation, we are Informed that some scientific tests will be matte. Rev. J. A. Martin, who with others from this section attended the great missionary convention held at Butte last week, says that one of the most Interesting incidents of the gathering, which was non denominational In character, and attended by mission- aries from all parts of the world, was when three veteran ministers, all very well known in Lewistown, and who attended the first conference ever held in the territory, met once more and clasped hands to the delight of the audience. They were Rev. W. W. VanOrsdel, known all over Montana as \Brother Van,\ and who is espec- ially popular with the old timers in Fergus county; Dr. T. C. Illff, who has spoken at the Methodist church here, and who, since he came to Moo tana in the early days has achieved a national reputation as a pulpit ora- tor, being now a resident of Omaha, and F. A. Ftiggin, who was a familiar figure at Stanford. Utica and Lewis- town in the days of long ago. Mr. Martin says the convention Was a grand success and well worth all the time and effort expended in arrarg- Mg for it Appendicitis Is due In a large measure to abuse of the bowels, by employing drastic purgatives.
