BUTTE, Mont,JFeb. 27. Hundreds
ot quail have been found dead iu the
Hitter Root valley as a result of the
cold weather and sportsmen fear that
large percentage of gamy birds has
been exterminated. Protected bv the
laws of the state, but exposed to the
oold blasts and suffering for lack of
somothiug to eat, the pretty littlle
oreastures have been forced to huddle
helplessly together beneath trees or
otheijsheltor. Portions of the rural
roads'have been fairly dotted twith
the carcasses of the birds.
The quail werelimported i few years
ago by Western Montana sportsmen,
and they aro protected for the next
three years byTtho stato game laws,
u the hope that they will become
numerous. But fato seems to be ,
against them. Last summer hundreds j
them were killed off by the poison
ed wheat which farmers spread inJis-j
orimiuately over tho prairies to ex-'
terminate gophera.
The members of the Baptist
church of this city aro having plans
made for enlarging and remodeling
of their present bouse of worship,
it is expeeted when the plans are
made and accepted they will provide
for at Ieast.double the seating capac
ity of the church &b it now is. The
enlargement of the church will ne
cessitate the removal of the parson
age, but a location for this has not
been decided upou. The principal
and only reason for the enlargement
of the churoh is the increased mem
bership and the increased attendance
at all of the services. The church
now has a memberebhip of 250 an
increase of seventy during the past
eleven months. The present seating
capacity of the church 1b between
250 and 300, and this 1b taxed to the
fullest extent at nearly every preach
ing service. This is. a gratifying con
dition of affairs and especially ought
it to be gratifying to Rev. Carsteus,
the pastor, who haB been in charge of
the church work less than a year.
V. T. McCray: "I have had nu

ested in the matter will write to the
agricultural department fat Washing- j
ton and ask that Bulletin No. 145
bojeeut them, they will find therein
all the information they want. This
bulletin , gives full information re
garding implements and methods,
and also a lot of valuable information
as to the way to usewater in the most
economical manner and to secure the
best results."
