Contract is Awarded WHO WILL C XTHERS FACTS BE WINNER?1 FOR STATE U. tor Constructlon of Bridge Contestants Are Getting Busy— l'roffessor Kirkwood Makes Tour • Commis.aionea s Award Contract for Bridge Over Security Bridge Company At a meeting of ,the county commissioners at Billings last Saturday, bids were received for the construction of the proposed bridge to be built over the Big. Horn river neato t alk.head gate of the Two Legging canal. Out of the various bids sub- mitted, that of the Securit ,c y Bridge Company found favor, and the contract was awarded accord- ingly at the bid of $28,500. The contract was let subject to the government's appropria- tion of $10,000. If this can be materialized work will begin on the bridge, and it, will undoubt- edly be ready for use before win- ter. A Musicare Some of the ladies of Hardin were given a treat on Wednes- day afternoon that they are not likely soon to forget. Miss Helen Browne of Chicago is vi&ting the family of Walter Fearis on the bench. Miss Browne possesses a rare talent in music and Mrs. Fearis and Miss Jessie were desirous of giving some of their friends an opportunity to hear her play. On Wednesday afternoon they invited about thirty guests to the home of Mrs. J. W. Johnston in town, where they listened spell - pound for two hours and a half. to Miss Browne at the piano. Number after number of clasaic- al music was given with never a note in sight—strains that sug- gested tears, interspercei with ripples of glad things until her audience was fairly Mesmerized. A charming personality adds, to her wonderful gift, and the afternoon wastone of delight to all. Dainty refreshments were served by Up. Fearis and Miss Jessie, and their guests went a- way feeling grateful to them for the very unique entertainment given them. * \ Invents Water Lift. H. A. Shaw has lately invent - Water Lift\ and has the mac- hine in successful working oper- ation at his ranch below toNi. - The system is comprised of a water wheel the size of which ,is governed by what height the water is to be lifted. The wheel is placed in the stream, and like all water wheels derives its pow- er from the stream. Mr. Shaw has applied for a patent and feels that he has a machine that can be used to great advantage in irrigation projects. Literary Treat. The recital given at the Tho- mas Hall last Saturday evening' by Mrs. Kizzie Hardin Martin, was indeed a literary treat to the Hardin people who attended. Mrs. Martin is a reader and impersonator of no small ability. Her southern stores and hu- morous readings were very en- tertaining and interesting, but the story \For Dear Old Yale\ is worthy of special comment. In this she displayed a wonderful training and ability. We speak for her a worthy fu should she choose to continue in her profession. Suits cleaned and pressed at the Hardin Tailoring Parlors. Big Horn to For Sale. One horse, milch cows, heifers cream separator and churn, spring wagon, single harness, in- cubator and brooder, household - goods and kitchen furniture.

Marshall will have a spe- cial message to the Hardinites next Sunday. Thomas Marland formerly of Illinois, but now at Roundup, has been employed at the Reeder Drug store to assist Dr. Reeder during the absence of Mrs. Ree- der. Mrs. H. I. Reeder left yester- day for a visit at her home in Illinois, to be gone about three weeks. On her return she will be accomqanied by Master Ed- gar who has been visiting with his grandmother. FAMOUS TEA DRINKERS. Johnson Once Took Twenty-five Oups at a Sittin g . Napoleon, like Johnson, was a hardened tea drinker, and so a cen- tury later was Mr. Gladstone, who confessed that he drank more tea between midnight and 4 in the morning than any other member of the house of commons and that the strongest brew of it never interfer- ed with his sleep. The dish of tea was one of the most important factors in John son's life. Proficiency in the gentle art of tea brewing was regarded by him as an essential attribute of the perfect woman, and there can be no doubt that his feminine friends (and their name was legion) did their best to gratify his amiable weak- ness. Richard Cumberland tells us, says the London Gentlewoman, that his inordinate demands for his fa- vorate beverage were occasionally difficult to comply_ with. On Sir Joshua Reynolds reminding him he had already consumed eleven cups he. replied.,L_aix,14(1 not count your glasses of wine. WhyTshoul you number my cups of tea? ' And laughingly he added in perfect good humor, \Sir I should have released our hostess from any further trou- ble, but you have reminded me that I want one more cup to make up the dozen, and I must request Mrs. Cumberland to round up my score.\ When he saw the complacency with which the lady of the house obeyed his behests he said cheerily: \Madam I must tell you for your comfort you have escaped much better than a certain lady did awhile ago, on whose patience I in- truded greatly more than I have on yours. She asked me for no other purpose than to make a zany of me and set me gabbling to a parcel of people I knew nothing of. So. madam, I had ray revenge on her, for I swallowed five and twenty cups of her tea.\ Cumberland declared that his wife would gladly have made tea for Johnson as long as the New river could have supplied her with water, for it was then, and their only, he was seen at his happiest moments. On his Scottish tour his inexora- ble demands for tea sorely tried the patience of Lady Macleod of Dun - vegan, who after giving him his sixteenth cup suggested that fur- ther supplies in a small basin might be agreeable to him. \1 wonder, Madam,\ he answered roughly, \why all'the ladies ask me such questions. It is to save your- self trouble, madam, and not me.\ The lady was discreetly silent led resumed her task. Miss Fearis Takes First Place of National Forrests in Intes- With Bernice Shaw Close Sec- ond. The piano contest is taking on new life. A lively interest has developed and it promises to be ' exciting. Miss Jessie Faris, th contestant aL the Ladies' Circle has suddenly risen to first place4 with Bernice Shaw second, and Stella Ferguson third. Watch the contest grow! It will be exceedingly interesting, as the contest nears its close. Surprises are in store. No one knows how it is going to turn out. Next week the contestant with the smallest nnmber of votes may head the list. Our ladies have taken hold of of this affair in a commendabl^ manner, which shows that they appreciate the value of these el- egant prizes. Take ahold and push a good thing along. By helping your fa- vorite candidate you are also helping yourself aby benefitting , the community ,at large. Every dollars worth of trade means that much more added to tlfe community. Remember that every dollar spent in trade at the W. A. Pe- den store means 200 votes for your candidate; every dollar's worth of their ,new stock of jew- elry means 1000 votes, and ev- ery dollar on snbscriptions to the Tribune means 1000 votes.

Mrs. Brennan is in receipt of a letter from Denver, announc- ing the marrage of Miss Bess Gray and Mr. Hal Norris. The young people are well and favorably known to the peo- ple of Hardin, having been em- ployed at the Hardin Hotel. They have a large number of frietids who unite with the Tri- se - ne in wishing them all possi- ble joy. ts of Science Dr. J. E. Kirkwood professor of Forestry at the University of Montana, left this week on a tour of inspection of the nation- al forests of western Montana and Idaho. At the completion of the trip, Dr. Kirkwood will have visited the LoLo' Coeur d'Alene, Kootenai, Kenishu, Blackfeet, and Flathead forests. He then intends to join Pro- fessor M. J. Elrod, head of the Department of Bicsogy in the Glacier National Park, and in company with him devote some time to the work being conduct- ed in that region by Dr. Elrod. The work is to be of a scien- tific character, and will be done wholly in the interest of toe uni- versity. The results obtained from the various observations and investigations made during the' tour will be used for instruc- tion purposes in the departments of Forestry and Biology. Espe- cial Care will be devoted to the collection of data , and material that may be of subaequent use in in the short forestry course for the rangers. Although this is a comparatively new branch of educational work at the Univer- sity, it has met with the favor of all those who have availed themselves of the opportunity to broaden their knowledge along these lines. Aktten starting on his swatter trip Professor Kirkwood said: 'It is proposed to visit several of the national forests in order to get into touch with the per- sonnel and practice of the For- est Service in its field operation. The tour will serve to furnish specimens, photographs and data for use in the University. The operations of special interest to be observed are the nursery and and the. reforestation experi- ments, forest protection and fire patrols, timber sales, reconnaiss- ance work, anb segregation cf lands for settlement. This work will undoubtedly prove to be of great value to the University. The coming year's work in Forestry at the state chool promises to be productive of advantage to the ififfent fra to be had elsewhere. Dr. Kirk- wood has studied at borne of the leading graduate schools of this country, receiving his doctor's degree from Columbia Univer- sity, and is a very able scientist. He has contributed articles to prominent magazines on botan- ical and forestry subjects. Pro- fessor Kirlcwood taught at Co- lumbia as assistant in botany, and later came to the University of Montana in 1909 halm the Desert Laboratory of the Carne- gie Institution. The scope of the state university is enlarging and it is in keeping with this fact that such work as that of Dr. Kirkwood is undertaken. $25 Reward The above reward will be given for the delivery of a pair of 4 year old horses weighing about 1200 each, at the Curry barn. 4 Iblack horse with white snip on nose. 1 dark gray branded J up and J down with P connected.

Upon it Rests Ability of Roots to Pro- duce Maximum Quantity of Su g ar. Testin g the roots is one of the most Important steps In the production of beet seed. since the value of the seed depends not only upon its quality from the standpoint of germination. but 111140 upon the ability of the roots produceit to store a maximum q uantity of sugar with a minimum quantity of salts. With our preseni knowledge of seed production the stuudard of htnb grade seed can be maintained only by the most careful and rigid testing. anti elimination of all roots that are not of a satisfactory q uality. Havin g select- ed roots of suitable size and shape. a t. ) pical core is removed by means of a drill which is passed through 10 beet at an angle. as shown in the thus- tratlon. This cor e , in tested for sugar by the usual polarlscope methods. Tho ability of a seed grower to maintain high quality In the root is one of the meat important conditions in the es- tablisfitnent and maintenance of the beet seed industry, says the year. boo( of the department of agriculture. There is a great deal of confusion in the minds et plant breeders regardlut.t the leal purpese of the selection of the roots from . the standpoint of sugar con- tent. Careful observation would seem to indicate that breeding and selection for high sugar content have to do mainly with the elimination of those individual rocks that will not respond readily to ftivorable conditions of soh and climate with respect to the forma- tion amid storage of sugar and the pres- ervation and perpetuation of those roots that will respond to those condi- tions. High sugar content, -therefore. does not seem to he'a fixed character in the same souse as are color, form. etc.. vary to a tnarked wee when the conditions Of growth Reis changed. For example, seeds from the Attractions at the Star Next Saturday evening at the Star Theatre the following attrac- tions will be presented: A Chile of the Fares: An Edison film,. portraying the life of an Indian Mother and her Babe; A fighting Chance and The Dairy Maid's Lovers; Two good ones by Selig, Give us a call. We try to please. For Sale. All kinds of garden truck, al- so chickens and hogs. --J. W. The -Hardin Chamber of com- merce has aaranged for a num- ber of agricultural displays, one at Billings, the others at differ- ent eastern points, in which to display agricultural products of the Big Horn valley, and the bench tributary to Hardin. The committee appointed on this matter urges the co-opera- tion of the ranchers in this vi- cinity, in securing the displays. Experienced men tell us that the best way to o btain good dis- plays is to go into the field and procure them before the grain is cut. A. E. Willard will arrange the booths, he made the dis- plays which took prizes last year at Helena, we are sure of a good display. The project is brought about to advertise and assist in establishing a market for the products of the valley arid the country tributary. As there are no funds avail-. able to oderate with, the hearty assistance of our ranchers is so- , licked. Yon- Horse Toliver, the veterinarian, makes old horses young by leveling their teeth.

Charcoal as a Fertilizer. Charcoal has but little plant food. yet It usually shows results. It gives Light soils a darker color, thus making them warmer. It also makes soils porous and increases their power to hold water. Charcoal is a fine ab- sorbent for gases. When worked into the soil it will no doubt prevent the escape 'of some of the ammonia formed when organic substances decay. For these and other reasons charcoal will help. especially on light solls.—Rural New Yorker. `..; : Plantin g Watermelons.
