THE HARDIN TRIBUNE VOL. III NO 34, YEI ()\\ dONF ( i)1 Y, ;V1ONTANA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, iqlo. Political Line-up For Present Officers Yellowstone County UNFAVORABLE CROP REPORT DENIED J. H. Hall, commissioners of the bureau of agriculture, labor and industry, telegraphed a de - Willing to Become Court House Fixtures—Few nial of a Washington dispatch,, New Aspirants for Their Jobs Our county political 1:ody has jarred loose and has made up the slate for the county 'line up of those who specially desire to serve as public servants of this great county. For the benefit of our readers we quote the follow- ing from a county seat paper,: \The political pot has just be- gun to simmer and although pre- sent indication are that there will be no lack Of candidates for the various offices, few of those mentioned will commit them- selves ad apparently wish to leave the impression that they are 'In the hands of their friends.\ \It is reliably reported that all of the present incumbents with the exception of County Attorney Wilson, Whose terms expires January 1 next, will seek re-elec- tion. This being true, it means that the republican convention will consider the following-. For representative, F. B. Connelly; clerk of the district court, L. T. Jones; county clerk, A. B. Ren- wick; treasurer, Ira L. Whitney; assessor, A. P. Smith; sheriff, J. C. Orrick; surveyor, B. C. Lillis; coroner,G. Herman Smith; superintendent of schools, Mrs. Sara Morse, member of board of county commissioners, M. W. Cramer. Senator Annin has not been seen regarding the matter and it is not known whether he will seek renomination. \Several are said to have their eyes fixed on the county attorney plum, but thus far only two have admitted as much. Deputy Charles A. Taylor is an avowed candidate and J. Henry Nibbe . 4.s likewise shied his castor into lie arena. \Report comes from the west- er i end of the county that it will have a candidate for sheriff in the person of W. P. Adams, who formerly held the office, and though he will admit nothing, rumor has it that friends of Chief Talgo are urging him- to make the race under th e democratic Buffalo Bill's Last Show Considerable interest has been aroused in this vicinity through the announced appearance of Buffalo Bill's Wild West and Pawnee Bill's Far East at Bill- ings, Aug. 30. Col. Wm. F. Cody, the origin- al and only\Buffalo Bill,\travels with the big exhibition and posi- tively appears at every perform- ance, rain or shine. Arrange- ments have been made with the railroad officials to run excur- sions at special rates from the various stations along the line and there will be special provi- sions for the accommodation of those who wish to visit the exhi- bition. TO the small, boy and grown-up, Buffalo Bill will be the chief attractions, for his fame is not dimmed by the years which elapsed since he helped write the story of the west through his heroic deeds. One of the prim:- pa contests of the red men, in which he took active part, will pictured in the open-air melo- drama, the Battle of Summit Spring, an engagement in minia- ture introducing more than one hundred Indians and as many cavalrymen and soldiers. Con- trasted with this scene will be an Oriental Spectacle which will pic- ture the gorgeous beauties of the far east, its pageantry and peo- ple, its pleasures and past times, and its strang costumes and cus- tJms. Turning again to Ameri- ean history there will be an attack upon an emir, ant train,a holiday at \T -E\ ranch and the great train hold-up by .Indians,showing varied pictures of early life upon the boundless plains. Ray Thompson's trained western range horses will be shown in feats of grace and equine skill. Sharpshooting by Johnny Baker will be particular attractive fea- ture, and a bunch of bucking' bronchos will furnish the princi- pal comedy element of a truly exhilarating and strenuous exhi- standard. bition. A rumor is that Fred H.Foster will be in the running for clerk of the court, but Mr. Foster is not non -committal. \It is understood that friend of Paul McCormick will urge his nomination for state senator and Judge Mann is being &Oaken of by the democrats for this ( ffice. For member of the board of county commissioners, J. W. Day of Huntley, and Charles C. Sanders, are admitted to be good timber and it is understood their names will be placed before the republican convention. \Laurel Park City, Hardin and other cities in the county, except Columbus, have not been heard from and whether they will bring forward favorite citi- zens for some of the offices re- mains to be seen.\ Ladies Circle Will Meet The Ladies Cirele will meet at the parsonage with Mrs. Mar- shall on Thursday. Sept. 1. As the first work for the Christmas bazaar will be started at this meeting all attendants of the cir- cle are urged to be present. For Sale.

Black Canyon Campers Return The Hoerr camping party who had been spending a couple of weeks camping in the Black Canyon returned here last Satur- day and all reported having had the time of their lives. We are inclined to think that hunting and fishing did not prove very good as. -so far as we can learn the killing of two rattle snakes was about all the killjog that was done on the trip. The ladies of the party declare that a huge black bear had the audauci- ty to enter their sleeping tent and seem ngly believe that they had a narrow escape with their lieves. However, Will Hoerr, who was summoned from the midst of a peaceful *sleep by their panic stricken cries to kill the monster, stoutly affirms that the bear was nothing more than a brush broom and a few pairs of ladies black stockings—an- other case of womans imagina- tion.

Complete Noe of gent's hats. hose and ties at the cash store— Gibson Bros. published ten days ago, purport- ing to cOme from a subordinate bureau of the department of agriculture, which misstated crop conditions in Montana. Mr. Hall received a letter from Willis L. Moore, acting secretary of agriculture, denying know- ledge of the dispatch and making the following statement: According to estimates made by the bureau of statistics of this department the :condition of hay in Montana July 1, was 74 per cent of the normal c3ndition as compared with 100 a year ago; the condition of pastures was .71 is compared with .105 a year agO; the condition of alfalfa .75, as compared with 101 a year ogo. The estimated acreage and coo- dition \July 1, 1909, and 1910, of the principal grain crops in Mon- tana were as follows: 1909 Pet. 1910 Pot. 4priup Wheat 165,000 .97 185,000 .83 White Whutt 185,000 .89 2$2,000 .90 Ott is 300,0110 .9 $15,000 .8$ Bad. y 50,000 .91 320 0 .90 F1, it 10,000 20,000 .80 Corp 5,000 .9$ 5,000 .80 The figures above, - concerning acreage and condition of crops July I., indicate nearly 10 per cent larger supplies July 1, 1910, than July 1, 1909.

Another matter of prime importance In the successful management of a dairy herd is the keeping of a record of the milk and butter fat produced by the Individual cows of the herd. The keeping of a daily record of the weight of the milk of end) cow is a very sim- ple and Inexpensive task. All that is uecesstity is to have a small scale and a ruled sheet of paper upon which to record the weights of milk morning and night. The SallY weighing of the milk from each cow Is vatuable also hi servin g as a check upon the work of the milker*. The milk from each cow should be tested about once a month during the whole period pi lactation. A satis- factory way of doing this is to collect what is known as a composite sample, which comities In securing about one- half ounce of milk frog' each of six consecutive milkings and placing this in a half pint composite sample jar containing it small amount of preserva- tive. The test of this composite sample will represent the average arnonn't of butter fat for the period during which the maniple was taken and will Rene with sufficient art -wary ma an average test during the entire month.

The fire had caught in one of the small out buildings and was well un- der way when discovered. Only for the prompt respond of Chief Schneider and his fire fighters not only would the small build- ings burned but possibly every wooden building in that block. Here is a case where the value of the chemical engine was dem- onstrated. Mr. Mouat who had thrown a few pails of water on the fire before the engine arrived said that in order to get any water at all on the blaze he near- ly blistered the entire side of his face and had it not been for the engine he believes it would have been a hard matter to have kept the fire from spreading. Facts About Selling School Site In view of the fact that some misunderstanding seems to exist in connection with the forthcom- ing election to empower the board of school trustees to sell the old school house in Hardin, the board would like to make the following statement: It is proposed to place a min- imum price on each lot and the building and put each of them up individually at public auction. Those lots not sold will be dis- posed of afterward if possible at private sale. The board wishes to state that it is absolutely necessary for the carrying on of the schools, and meeting outstanding obligations that the property be disposed of, and hope to receive authprity so to do. The work before them this year is difficult and arduous, but they hoee to secure the co- oporation of all in the district in the carrying of it out, that school facilities be provided to the full extent of the available funds and the way be paved for the exten- sion of such facilities in subse- quent years. BOARD OF TRUSTEES. content butter. The greatest factor in overrun con. trol is the accurate determination of the total butter fat delivered to the creamery. If more butter fat was de- livered than was actually paid for It cannot hello but Increase the overrun. and vice versa. Naturally the q uestion arises. \Can butter be made to always routain lees that the le g al 16 per cent limit for wa- ter!\ The answer is positively \Yes with H fair margiti for safety. In fact butter can be made to Dot exceed even a 15 per eent dent A good cannier. chit product can contain 14 to 15 per cept of water. Nile, added to the 52.5 per cent standard for fat. makes a to- tal of 96.5 to 97.5 per cent, leaving a halauee of 2.5 to 3.5 per cent for salt, remelt' end ash Since the average casein and ash Content need not exceed I per cent. this waves , i 5 to 2.5 per cent for salt. This amount of salt is not aufficient for all grades of butter, nor will it Meet tlw demand of all consumers. In order to Inerense the sag contain there must tw a decrease In the water. A commercial product will paw; to ear. lain consumers cotitatning 3.5 per vent salt, but need not exceed 3 per cent. It is not safe to work too close to any standard because of variation in compo:41tIon doe to sampling. One sample o f hutter taken to represeut a (•hurning may or may not be an accu- rate representation of the butter in question. Au average variation of at ; least one -halt per cent must be allow- edwith eXtreros of it least 1 per cent. A tremenduous forest fire has been sweeping the range west of the Big rn valley, and h: s destroyed much timber and val- uable pasture, during the last two weeks. Last Monday con- ditions became so alarming in the Pine hills that a number of men, representing nearly every businesstrace and home in town took fire fighting facilities and went to the scene of danger. By the time they arrived the fire on the Big Horn side of the hills had been extinguished. A large number' of ranchers had been battling with the fire for some 36 hours. A number of the Hardin party crossed the hills, and assisted in extinguishing some three miles of blaze on the Yellowstone side. The fire in the Pine Hills has burned about eight or ten thou- sand acres of range, which will no doubt greatly inconvenience the sheep men in that -vicinity. A welcome rain came on Tues- day, which it is believed, exting. uished all the fires in this sec- tion and greatly checked the lar- ger fires which have been raging l in the western part of the state, 'causing a great loss of life and !property. Sells Business C. C. Hutton closed a deal last Saturday whereby John Hinman came in possession of the Ex- change Saloon including the building. Mr. Hinman is an ex- perienced saloon man and will endeavor to conduct a clean, law abidirg place.
