The crown prince, Yoshihito, whosucceeded to the throne, was born Aug.31, 1879. He was made self-apparentAug. 31, 1887, proclaimed crown princeNov. 3, 1888, and decorated with thegrand order of merit and grand in-signia of the imperial chrysanthemum.He was promoted to be lieutenant-colonel in the army and commander inthe navy in.1901. He became lieuten-ant-general and vice-admiral on Nov.3, 1909.

The prince was married to PrincessSadako, daughter of Prince Kujo,Michitaka, May 10, 1900.

The ceremony at the sanctuary willbe repeated in the next two days.

A more impressive scene occurred inthe throne room of the palace when.he new emperor, Yoshihito, receivedthe sacred treasures. His majesty en-tered the hall, preceded by the min -

ister of the household, the chief ofthe board of ceremonies, the lord

chamberlain, military and naval aids,and the imperial prince. He was fol-lowed by Prince Yamagata, president

of the privy council, Marquis Matsuk-ata, member of the privy council, Mar-

quis Imouyo, councillor of state, and

others of similar rank, the premier,Marquis Saionji, the ministers of state.marshals, generals and admirals.

The scene lacked brilliancy, al-

though not solemnity, for the majorityof those present were without uni-

forms. They had remained in the pal-

ace for two days and were not given

time to repair to their homes prior to

the ceremony.The date for the funeral has not

been fixed. Probably it will take

place within a month at Kyoto, where

the emperor expressed a desire to be

buried on the site of Maruyama pal-

ace, built by Hideyoshi in the six-

I teenth century.The old form of funeral ceremony

doubtless will be modified consider-

ably because it is impossible to adaptold usages to modern conditions, but

many unique customs will be retained.

It is not believed that the accession

of the new emperor will mark a

change in Japanese policy. Yoshibito

is highly respected by his subjects.

The ceremonies this morning in con-

nection with his accession under the

constitution promulgated by his father

invests his person and surroundinswith the same sacredness as his pre-

decessor.The American am ador C

P. Bryan, was the first caller at the

Monihan, the ex-leagueumpire, gave universal satisfactionby his good work and fair decisions.

As the situation stands now, theCubs have bested all the teams playedwith, and will now attempt to securegames with as many other teams aspossible.

The first regular train service of thenew Glendive-Sidney branch of theNorthern Pacific, was installed today,Aug. 1. For the present, there willbe regular mixed trains from Glen-dive to Sidney and return on Monday,Wednesday and Saturday of eich week.The train this morning carried over ahundred passengers, and the people ofthe lower valley are to be congratula-

ought to be cultivated at least once aweek until it is too high for the horseto get through it. Cultivate threeinches deep at first, but after it getsup two feet high two inches is deepenough to cultivate. Do not let a crustform, and keep out all the weeds.

If you irrigate, do it early enoughto cultivate afterwards, and do notirrigate too nuch. It is better to irri-gate in furrows between rows than toflood.

Thin out the stalks to two in a hillbefore they get too large.

Select the ripest, best-developedears for exhibition,-those that are ofeven size the whole length, well filledat tips, with small butts. Deep ker-nels that are close and tight are best.

Keep the corn as dry as possible afterhusking and do not leave it packedaway from the air longer than is nec-essary in shipping it.

The boy in this county who showsthe best ten ears gets a medal, a tripto Helena, free entertainment at thestate fair and free admission to every-thing there, and a free course of in-struction in stock judging during thewhole week. F. S. COOLEY, Boze-man, Supt. State Fair Industrial Contests.

Pleatywood is Live Cauuuaty

Plentywood, July 22.--"Unitedwe will stand; divided we might fall,'"

should have been appropriately in-

scribed on the Fourth of July banner

at the recent two days' big celebrationin Plentywood, as it is becoming moreand more every day the motto of this

community. Two years ago, with the

coming of the railroad, when outsidecapital commenced the building of asystem of grain elevators at the differ-ent railroad shipping points slong thenewly constructed Bainsville-Plenty-wood branch, it suddenly dawned uponthe minds of some of the well-to-doand more progressive farmers of thiscommunity,. whose names will be here-isnfter meatinaed, that if Minunesotacapitalists cold t•atld and operatethese elevators alung this braneh pta sure eas ri oiftuty prot to them-selves,; why oild they not, by a systemof united o atstof te fumaAt thi Upper Muandet &1is sam +iad

From the present outlook, therewill be more grain to handle on thenew division than the railway officialscontemplated, for the lower valley isblessed with a fire crop.

purpose and as a monument to theirwise decision and judgment there is to-day lined up with the two foreign ele-vators along the Great Northerntracks, the Farmters' elevator ofPlen`.ywood.

Beginning in a humble way, duringthe first year of its existence theFarmers' elevator handled only 28,000bushels of flax, but after paying alloperating expenses wound up theyear's business with the sum of $800to the good. The second year-that of1911 -of its advent into the businessworld, indirect competition with es-tablished big business, it handled 68,-000 bushels of flax and 20,000 bushelsof wheat and after paying all operatingexpenses, including insurance and al-lowing two cents per bushel premiumto all stockholders delivering grain atthe elevator, paid its shareholders thehandsome dividend of 40 per cent. (SeeJohn A. Davis, president of the com-pany at Plentywood.)

Being thus justly encouraged at thesuccess of their first venture the samepersonnel of the elevator company andits shareholders, representing in theaggregate a property valuation of ovt rhalf a million dollars, with J. A. Davispresident of tie company; ForestGoodman, vice president; A. Riba, act-ing temporary treasurer, and J. A.Oaks, secretary and manager, and witha capital of $50,000, of which $25.000 isfully paid, are just at present break-ing the ground in the near vicinity oftheir elevator for a general merchan-dise establishment 50x70 feet, to beoperated in connection with the ele-vator and known as the Farmers'Grain & Mercantile company, to beready for basinegs Sept. 1.
