W. Garnsey, Jr.. has issued a bulletin of the product of the various districts raising sugar beets last year. Throughout the Yellowstene valley near Billies and the Clark's Fork va:I e• adjacent, the \old district,\ the farmers re- ceived, for their beets an average price of $77.50 per acre. On the Huntly project the farmers received an average prrce of $62.44. This latter showing is most remarkable when it is considered that the Huntly land is new, having been cultivated only three seasons, no opportunity having been offered for fertilizing with alfalfa or other nitrogenous plants, which assist in beet cul- ture. The work here was not an experiment as a total of 1,400 acres were grown. Two factors were prominent in this year's prefit. The season W4S succeSeful in the matter of gross production and a new sliding scale of prices based on the amount of sacharine content help- ed to swell the receipts. Altogether there were 23 farm- ers delivering their beets who re- ceived an average price of more than $100 per acre for their en tire crop. These figures are of especial interest when it is considered I that the • .land producing th(!se crops is valued at an average price of $75 per acre ii the \oldaiistrict the total cost of production, including wages for all- work done is S35 to $40 per acre, leaving a net revenue of $37 to $42, over . 50 per cent of the value of the land. On the Huntley project the farms are of small . size, mostly 40 acre tracts. Here the farmer and his family generally attend to their own crops, their wages being counted as part of the cost of production. After deducting all expences including their wages, these settlers have re- ceived a net profit of about $25 per acre on land which cost them $35 per acre with payments dis- tributed over a period of 10 years without interest or taxes. One of their number raised 31.8 acres of beets last year for which he re- ceived $96.58 an acre, or a clear profit of over $55 per acre, con- siderably more than the first cost of his farm.

McComb and is one of Hardin's winsome young ladies. The groom is a young man from Appleton, Wis., who has been spending the winter here.

A number of the ladies were \greersi hands,\ but it is very evident that we have some ladies in Hardin that would be- come expert players with suffic- ient practice. Since Friday,Ildies are to be found in the parlor most any evening and the place promiseeto become a pcpular re- sort for ladies and e - ents alike. Notice to the Public I hereby notify the general public that the crganization of the firm of McLaughlin & Wertz did not materialize, and that I am sole owner and proprietor of the business. —G. McLaughlin. Will Begin Work on Church Soon The plans and specifications for the new Congregational church for Hardin arrived from Archetect Oehme's office tnis week and have 'eeen placed in the hands of the contractors and 'the contract will be awarded this coming week. The structure is to be a frame, built very much after the plan that was submitted for the proposed brick. It will have a seating aapacity of about 15() people. The congregation of this church is to be congratulated on being able to build their building this spring as they are unable to secure the use of the school building and they have practic- ally no place to hold their service. Firemen's Ball Great Success The Firemens' second annual ball which was given . in the Thomas hall on the 22nd. was, a decided success from every view point. The music which was per- fection itself, was furnished/ by Mr. Severance -of the Ainsworth orchestra and Mrs. Wm. Schnei- der both of Billings. Supper was furnished by the Denver Lubch l and the Dew. Drop Inn and the demands of the various tastes of the dancers was amply provided , for.

Will Platt Addition to Town Carl Rankin, who is with the Lincoln Townsite Company of Lincoln, Nebraska, is spending a few days in the town looking aftkr the matter of some drain- age and arranging for the platt- ing of the fourth addition to the Hardin townsIte, which will be platted as soon as the frost has sufficiently disappeared to drive steaks. The new addition will consist of a row of blocks around the east, north and west side of the present townsite. The addition will embrace some seventeen full' :locks and eleven half blocks making in all about fifty-four acres platted into lots. The new* street on the east will be known as Crook street' and the one on the west as Chouteau street. The new addition will put a number of desirable residence lots on the market and will offer those desireing to build a home an excellent opportunity to se- cure a good resident property. Bachellor Club Items Some women remind us of phonographs—they go around and make a lot of talk. —Ex. Our new member, Mr. Astel is behaving himself like a gentle- man—especially at the table. Frank Eder say he is going to leave us this week and stay at ranch. Thii, looks like there is something in the wind., \Buttermilk\ Logan has re- signed as deacon and he says that since he began to work that he has not the time to fill that office. Harry DeTuncq is one of the best behaved fellows at the club and while at the table he doesn't open his mouth ---only to eat. It is Big Eder that tells all those punk stories. C. C. Calhoun is the champion wrestler at the club. The other evening he threw Marland who claimed the title in two minutes. Those who think that the old \never come back\ should wach Cal. Ed Torske will soon leave us to go onto his ranch. He is anxioua to have a female cook and is kind of bashful to. ask one so he wantedsus to let the fairones know 'tut it through the bach- elor notes. Get busy girls. We could say something awful about Big Charley Eder this week that happened at the Club one day last week, but will not mention it as we promised not to put it in print. If the girls of Harden were wise to this they would all pass up Charley. Anyone who hears \Dr.\ T. Marland sing at the club while the phonograph is going will be convinced that he is a fine singer. We are - fvondering if that is the matter why we haven't had com- pany for the last three weeks. One visitor asked the writer if Marland thought he was enter- tertaining the Dutch. Father Scott must be sick as he hasn't much to say this week. Cedric McComb shipped a car- load of horses to Billings Wed- nesday evening and drove as Many more overland Thursday to the same place where they will be fed till spring. The object of the shipping of the horses was that of cheaper feed. Call and see the special bar- gains we are offering on colonial' princes dressers, also on colohial four drawer dresser made in im- perial quartered oak, superb pat- terns. —Johnston & Tipper. HENRY L. MYERS NEW U. S. SENATOR The senatorial deadlock which has existed all through the re- cent session of the state legis- lature was broken last evening by the appearence of a dark horse in the way of Henry L. Myers of Ravillo who was elect- ed United states senator, to suc- ceed Thomas H. Carter. Mr. Myers had not received a single vote till the one which elected him and that wt s unamicusly democratic. Farmers Institute Well Atterded • Mr. Lauxon. the dry farmer from North Dakota, gave a very interesting talk on the growing of flax. L. M. Dean, state orch- ard inspecsor, gave a talk on the growing of fruit trees and the future for the business in this valley as he saw it that made every one present wish that he was a possessor of a tract of the Big Horn valley dirt. Mr. Dean said that this valley shouid be one of the leading fruit districts of the Treasure state. He stated that everything was favorable for such an industry. Mr. Met- calf addressed the assembly on the growing of alfalfa. The talks were very much on the same order as those of last year, however, the speake , s found attentive listeners in the eighty. odd people present. After the meeting was adjourn- ed the speakers remained for some little time at the hall where a number of the ranchers seught general information a.Tig lines that were not spoken of during the session, with very satisfact- ory results. New Barber Shop John Mahoney, who for the past eight months has been con- ducting a barber chair in. the' Kifer pool hall, has leased the Hoshaw Brother's property situ- ated on en ral Avenue between theeCoffiti saloon and the Dew Drop Inn,' and will build a build- ing and fit the same up for a barber shop. The new place will be known as the \Mavrick and Mr. Mahoney, who is a first class barber, assures the public that the \best will be none too good\ and invites everyone to try the new place. E i ertains Ladies' Circle Mrs. ate McEloy entertained the Ladies' Circle • yesterday afternoon. The meeting was attended 6y thirty-six members and friends of the . association and an enjoyable afternoon was spent.
