Washington, • THE KIND WE WANT. The best friend it town can have is a booster, one who is not a grafter, but the genuine article— the individual who sees all the good things that are to be seen and is always ready to talk about them to ether4he man who has a good word * his Krim town when he is abroad, the man who welcomes the stranger within our gates and convinces him that we are just the kind of people for him to come and Make his abode among. This kind of a booster has a home of his own in our town. It may not be the most costly one. but it is home, and he Is putting in most of his spare time improving and beautifying it. That will make a man the best kind of a booster. That's the kind of boosters we want. There's plenty of room for good home makers of this sort in Whitehall. Let us have more of them.

HOFFMAN USES GUN Shoots Man At Twin Bridges Dangerous Wound. The following report of a shoot- ing 'Aloft' tookasplace at rwin Bridges is from the Anaconda Standard. floffitut . n is pretty well known in Whitehall, having been here the greater -portion of the time during the past two or three Years. Twin Bridges, Aug. 24- Frank Schlnidt ass Shia and possibly fatally injured about midnight last night by Rd'Hoffelan a secretary in a disorderly hogse. The bullet from a 43 -caliber revolvel:ttruck Schmidt in the hack just above the hip bone and piwed clear thru the abdomen, penetrating the ins testines and making a had wound. 'rho cause of the shooting is soniewhat shrouded it anysterY. Hoffman has amide it statement which woul i the affair pear for 1Ni - Tat e it combinatioe of carlesaness and ignorance. He clainis that the house had been locked up for the night and that the inmates had retired and were awakened hy some one trying to gain admittance by breaking in the door; that lie got up nnd went to the door with a revolver in his hand. As he opened the door a man Made off and, hardly thinking what lie was doing and with no malicious intent, Hoffman dis- chewed the weapon in the direc- tion of the fleeing man and then returned to his bed, not knowing that he had wounded a fellow man, perhaps mortally. There are those nho discredit floffnien:s story. Shortly b.!fore the *hooting oc- curred Schmidt met the town marshal on the street and COM- plained of liaving . baen held up in the bad lands district. The mar - 0011 told him to No to bed- and sober up and ha would investigate. This Schmidt promised to do, but went to the llotiman house instead. On bearing the shot the marshal harried in the direction of the sound and found Schtnia doubled up with pain, sitting on the side- walk in front of a saloon on Main street, a distance of one hundred feet from, where the shot was fired. Schmidt said that he had been shot by some one living in the house back of the saloon. The sheriff's office at Virginia City wart communicated with and Sheriff Tratifler arrieed here nt 5 o'clock this 'morning. Hoffman admitted the shooting and was placed under arrest and taken to the county jail at Virginia City. Schmidt is about 25 years of age and has been in this vicinity about a year. tu t s . Follow Scientific Farming How large a proportion of the farmers in the semi -arid belt ate priletiving really scientific methods of soil culturpt flow many are living up to the best they know I howl I am free to admit that it. is very difficult to do the nork just right. One of the rides that is insisted upon at Broadview is \Unless 3 , ou can do it right, don't do it at all- wait, wail, even if it cannot be done until next Season. To plow land when the physical conditions are not the very best, to put seed into the soil when seedbed and moisture are not just right, Is einiply inviting failure.\ I object to the term \dry farm- ing\ because it does not ghoul for anything except to differentiate it from irrigation. I am coining to speak of bench farms ka distin- guished from irrigated farms iii th3 valleys, while I hare no real objections to the name \dry in itself, did it not in too many instances call to mind the slovenly, Iiiiplinznrd methods of improvi• dent settlers, who never made good anywhere and never will. I am not afraid of hurting the feelings of nay one who may read this paper for the reason that the elites I allude to never read any of theritgrienitiral .ptiperrs - that pro published for their espeeial bene- fit. Then again in too many in- stances dry farming has come to be considered us a cereal ProPoil• don. whereas the farm in the senii-nrid section should be a live stock proposition and small grain should be secondary. This is es- peciallx.true of mountainous sec- tions, Where free range is more or less plentiful. The attention of the small farm- er abound be turned to the dairy, and pig. and chicken* .should occupy a large pines in the farm operation*. Is order to handle live stock successfully more at- tention should tie giren to forage crops than is generally the ease. Soiling for the cows should be followed in order to secure the beet reeults and moisture conav- vaition is an absolal,te, necessity.— W. X. Suddiith.

I say such little things waste too MIA valinible time.\ \Ah they do, you ,think,\ re- plied their uncle, eroding as he took a chair near the window. \Just let nie tell you a few little things which counted, and more than made up for the time used in planning, them. Yoe see this rubber erasing tip on the end of this pencil, do you nett\ con. tinued Undo Ben, taking a lead pencil from his inside pocket.\ \Yea sir, responded the\boys looking a little surpr;sed. \Very well. The New Jersey man who bit upon the idea of put- ting this tip to the lend pencil is •vorth two hundred thousand dol- lima. Will came from this little idea. \You don't mean it, uncle?\ ex- claimed Roy. \Indeed I do, my boy,\ said Uncle Ben. \Yes; and further- more, the man who . thought of the metal plates thud are used to protect the heels and soles of rough shoes realized two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in ton . years from it. while the ineentoe of the roller elude has made one million 'dollars from his invention The man who mnde the returning hall—the little ball with the rub- ber string s ---didn't think he would ever become a millionaire by so small an invention; and the minis- ter in England eh() made an cdd toy that danced by winding it with a string didn't realize the value of small things until he wes five hundred thoneand dollars richer by his small idea.
