Because the state board of health has failed to enforce the smallpox vaccination law to its own satisfac- tion, and because \the care of cases is a heavy expense on the counties,\ the board has re : solved,\ that \on and after Jan- uary 1, 1910. there shall be no quarantine for smallpox in the state of Montana, but that the premises where cases are confined shall be placarded with cards bear- ing the words, 'Smallpox here.\ If the board cannot enforce the law, and wishes to do away with the protection of quarantine be- cause some eople evade the vac cination law,( by require placards to be put up? Why not remove all protection? The Massachusetts movement to reforest lands unsuitable for agri- cultural purposes might well be followed in many other eastern states. Thousands upon thousands of acres that have been stripped of dense forests that once covered them are scarcely able to produce interest on the capital invested and pay the taxes. Perhaps this may, in many instances, be. largely due to poor management on the part of the farmers or their lack of knowledge in scientific methods, many of theses) farmers could re- forest 25 per cent of the land they own and, by doing better farming on the remainder of it, make more money than they do at present. • Man's troubles are numerous and varied. In nearly every case there's a woman in it, so why not a woman in congress? More Pri:e3 for Montana? The National Corn Exposition will be held at ()MAIM, Nebrasia, December 6 to 16, 1909. The premium list amounts to t50,000. and there will be competitive ex- hibits of corn, oats, wheat, barley, rye and grasses from all the agri- cultural states. Four new trophies have been added to the list of prizes and Montana should win not lesslhan three of them if care is taken) I n collecting the samples to be ex- hibited. The Kansas Trophy is offered for wheat; the Colorado Trophy for oats; the Wisconsin Trophy for barley; and the Na- tional Corn Trophy for the best ear of corn. Each trophy has a money value of from $900 to $2- 000. Prof. Atkinson of the Montana Agricultural College will collect the Montana exhibit and hopes that it will be one of which the state will be proud. The best of the exhibit at the State 1•'air may be taken for the Montana exhibit at the Omaha Exposition. Mon- tana growers of wheat, barleY, oats and corn are urged to prepare their best products for use in this exhibit and to correspond with Prof. Alfred Atkinson of Boze- man for further information on the subject. Not only would the winning of these prizes please the successful exhibitors but it would serve to give publicity to Montana as a state great in agricultural re- sources; and, 118 Will be readily understood, would also be of great value as an advertisment to the county in which the winning pro- ducts were grown. Huntley Settlers Celebrate. Iluntley, Mont., July 22.—The second annual settlers' picnic was celebrated today by the farmers of the Huntley irrigation project in commemoration of the openingof the project. The site selected for the festivities was the grove on the C. A. Baird ranch on the Notice of the historic Yellowstone river, about seven miles above Pompey's Pillar, of Lewis and Clark fame. Clark, the great ex- plorer's name, cut into the verti- cal sandstone cliff with his own hands, ie one of the historic treasures viewed annually by hun- dreds. Six hundred and fifty project folk, young and old, thronged the picnic grounds, and the occasion Was one of tercitailon, good cheer and lavish 'hospitality. It was an old time picnic, and hundreds of baskets full of the best the land could produce, were in evidence. Food was free for all in any quan- tity, and after all had eaten to satiety there was enough left to feed again as tnany. An excellent formal program was rendered: Music by loyal talent and recitations by accomp- lished farmers' daughters; address- es by F. 1). Lintield and Mr. F. S. Cooley, both of the state Col- lege of Agriculture. the Rev. Mr. Pope of Laurel, and Captain Hoofstetler of Illinois. The weather was ideal and noth- ing marred the event. A dance in Huntley at night for the young people concluded the festivities of the day. HAIL STORM AT HUNTLEY. Crops Ready For Harvest Destroyed --$200,000 Less. Billings.—The extent of the destruction wrought on the Hunt- ley project by the storm of wind, nail and rain was learned from persons who have come to Billings from the project. Crops all over the fertile tract, which were almost ready for har- vest, are virtually destroyed. The loss is estimated at fully $200,000. Trees were stripped of their foliage and standing crops of every.deecription were beaten into the ground by hailstones, which were es large SS hens' eggs. Fields of oats and spring wheat were demolished and it is reported that there is not a spear of these grains now standing to the height of six inches. Potatoes and beets fared better and it is believed these may yet produce parts of crops. Aterrilie wind and flood of rain accompanied the hail and many roofs of outbuildings were blown off and buildings were flooded. Stock suffered greatly, horses be- ing cut and bruised by the hail- stones.many of which were jagged in shape. Hundreds of chickens were killed, some farmers losing every fowl they possessed. As the crops in many - \cases were the first grown by settlers and represented al they had, it is feared much hardship will result end that concessione must be secured from the government, as many will be unable to meet the next payment on the land. The storm Was the worst that ever visited the Yellowstone valley. CAN'T PREVENT FISHING. Streams and Ten Feet from Bank Owned by the Government. The streams in this state are owned by the government and not only that but ten feet of land on either side. So long as the state laws permit fisheremn to use the streams for snort during certain seasons, the federal laws will back them up in any action where trete passis charged. No land owner can prevent a fisherman from using a stream for fishing purposes so long as he does not go beyond the ten foot liniit, THE TELEPHONE. A Universal Necessit) in Business Places and Ihnie. The Missoula Herald in its issue of July 17th contained an interest- ing appreciation of the rural tele- phone. Better facilities for long distance connections and. a re- modeled switchboard have lately been added to the equipment of that town by tho Western Elec- tric company. Declaring that Missoula now has a telephone , ex- change second to none of its size in point of effectiveness, the Her- ald goes on to gay: 'rue aoquinition of better tele- phone facilities should be looked upon as more than merely It step forward on the part of the local telephone company, Just as surely as \prosperity follows the flag:\ as certainly as a great in- crease in besiness and a better- ment of living and working con• ditions comp within the invention end spread of the 'phone itself, invariably it is found that yitli every effort to increase the oct- iveness of telephone coin 'mica - Cons collies better tiuic. and a more universal feeling of the satis- faction that always accompanies prosperity.. There was a bine not so very long ago when the 'phone was considered the luxury of the rich man. Many fail to realize, though they appreciate fully the useful- ness of this little instrument, the fact that the invention of the tele- phone is a matter of recent occur- rence. Thirty-three years ago it came to the notice of the Aawrio an public. Soule called it a toy; others denounced it 89 a fake. It Was the usnal experience of a novel invention, and differed not at all from the reception first accorded the steamboat, the be omotive and aeroplane. But the fact that stands out most promi- nently is that whereas but a few years ago the telephone was some- thing that only the well-to-do, the leaders, might possess, today it is a universal necessity, in demand among thousands and thousands of plain, everyday people. • The 'phone easily grew popular in city stores, offices and homes. This was just as had been antici- pated, for in city limits lines and extensions may be easily operated and maintained. But after the urban growth came the develop- ment of the rural telephone—a growth that Was more marked and of greater lasting good to the na- tion. The inprovements here in Mis- souls are but on (. phase of this movement. Telephones are be- coming more and more popular in the extensive torriculturn1 and fruit raising sections surrounding this city. For that reason, to neconintoclate farmers and growers who ninke their sales and transact other business in town, better toll service is assured by the addition of two sections of a switch board. It saves \the nein with the hoe\ many a long trip into the town and much valuable time, It is n real money -saver for him when he markets his produce by long dis- tance. There are some interesting fig- ures in connection with the statis- tics of rural telephones. The t•lephone census shows that, in 1902 there were but ttt farm 'phones in the entire state of Mon- tana. The next census year was 1907, and 2389 rureh'phones were counted in the state. r, That's a big jump for five years, and the spread of country 'phones is still going on. The company which is installing the improvements in the Missoula exchange reports that in the pest six months it has sold 80,000 of the newest type of hum telephones. That would seem to indicate that the tide is still run- ning strongly in the right direc- tion. Some of the middle we - stern states have about reached the. Belli° of telephone development. The highest point is Iowa, where 174,155 out 4.220,626faems had telephonal4roRections at the end of 1907. That means 78.9 per cent of all the farms in the state talk and dolbusiness over the tele- phone. In Kansas 58.7 per cent of the farms have telephones; the percentage in Nebraska is 58.5. Kansas and Nebraska and Iowa are three of the greatest and fartlierest advanced agricultural communities one can find in the whole world. It wouhi not be such bad logic to infer it very complimentary reference for the rural telephones. The remodeled and extended switch board at Missoula will serve the farming eounti.v as well as the town.. The new sections represent the Intest and most up- to-date output of the inventor's cr . aft. The Mistioula exchange is now thoroughly modern and should furnish the best- in the service. Large Yields in Hardin District. Ilardin, Mont.—Farmers thrie out this district are preparing to increase their grain acreage for ne te i year as the rell& of the re- nt aable success with wheat. oats, corn and other crops on the dry farms in the vicinity of Hardin. Harvesting has been commenced and it is the opinion of many of tile farmers that the yield in the dry farm section will run 25 to 85 bushels an acre for wheat. Many settlers have been attracted Co the bench lands by the magnificent showing of those who have crops this year and who have demon- strated beyond doubt that —dry farming is profitable on the bench lands of Montana. The influx of settlers indicates that before an- other year has closed there will be little government land remaining unlocated in this part of the state. Early sown barley and rye is out of danger and promises a setts - factory yield. The oat crop is ex- pected to be short in sotne in- stances on aci•ount, it is said, of late planting. However. the har- vest of this grain will prove that it can be grown here sie•cessfully. Too Much of a Good Thing. \Not far from Alder lives contented couple on a farm. They think a great deal of each other and a short tulle ago when the husband began to refuse his rations and kind of got sick like, it worried his wife. Nothing scented to suit his taste and he went about doing his chores' as if he was trying to save funeral ex- peneem. Out in the barn his wife canie across a package of condition powders like they feed horses and after reading its good qualities printed on the wrapper, she vowed to try it on her husband. The next morning for breakfast hie mixed it tablespoonful with his °Fitment. He ate it with a relish. The next day she repented the dose and before the end of the week he jumped n five -rail fence and turned a handspring. .Before he hind eate'n a one-pound package he threw the hired man three times during the noon hour and cut up capers like it 18 -year -old would do. Then the good wife, tickled all over at her wonderful discovery, got another pnikitge. but before half of it Was fed up, her huithand got so frisky she could not ksteto NUMBER 24 • Notice of Sale of Bonds.
