several years prior to his death he
had followed mining mar Wallace.
Mrs. Caniblin hastened to Wallace

It's a Dry Season
Unless rain coiiics quite copiously
to this section this spring, an unu
sually dry season is looked for. In
the Blues there in little or no snow
as far east as thc sawmill, when it
is often several feet deep at this time.
Snow to a depth of efjfht feet was
reported last week at the summit,
but the. usual winter depth .up there
is 12 or li feet. Streams are run
ning a much smaller volume of water
tha usual in February, and it is re
ported that dry soil is encountered
in fields and gardens at a depth of
10 or 12 inches. Needing a snow
blanket, the fields have been bare.
and grain has suffered from frosty
nights. All in all, the end of Feb
ruary finds the crop and weather out
look lacking in promise, although
old J. Pluve yet has ample time in
which to turn loose and redeem tho
situation. Most farmers arc yet in
doubt as to how much ground, if any,
they will have to resced.

Mr. Halseth, our new furnishings
goods man, won first prize in thc State
of Montana in a contest based on cor
rectness of measurements and de
scription of men's made-to-measure
suits for one of the big eastern houses.
This means that he has fitted suits bet
ter than any other Montana agent. He
will measure your suit for either M.
Born & Co. or Lamm & Co and secure
for you the satisfaction you desire in
your spring suit.
We have a big surprise waiting for you
relative to your spring suit or coat.
Watch for further information.

death of our good Indian friend, Yum

to educate the Indian, he cannot be
