Secretary Wilcox of the Cataract mill,
says that hard wheau is worth from Is to
20 cents per bushel more than soft wheat.
He advises farmers to SOW hard wheat.
Plenty of it can be had here or in Ben
ton. He has heard of some mixed wheat
being used for seed at Highwood, aid
deems that big mistake.
Traffic Manager Hannaford left this
evening over the Manitoba for St. Paul.
Before going he paid pleasant visit to
the TRIBUNE and expressed himself as
being thoroughly astonished at what he
had seen during his stay here. He was
particularly pleased with Great Falls and
regards the location as indispensable.
Mr.. Hannaford says that in all his expert
ence In the west he has not seen town
Of the age of Great Falls that presents so
fine and substantial an appearance.
The First National Bank has Just re-
ceived from Cincinnati fine Hall steel
safe, with time lock and all the latest i'm
provements, and are today having it
placed in their vault. It is not materially
different from the banks present safe
only that 1t Is much larger-probably as
large as any in the territery-and this is a
pretty good indication as to how the bust
ness of the First National is growing in
volume. The Cascade Bank, which opens
its doors April LIST, has purchased the
burglar ami fire proof safe that has done
service for the First National until now.
The Cascade Bank has bought through
William Albrecht office furniture of su-
perior quality and beauty.
Manager Child at the Park hotel today
something of our city and its pleasant
surroundings. To the suggestion Of a
TRIBUNE Representative today that he
was making a long stay at the Cataract
City, Mr.. Hannaford said it was undoubt-
edly true. Except when in Chicago or
New York on call of duty he has not
been off the lines of the Northern Pacific
for years. "But," said he, "Mr. Child has
made it SO pleasant for me that posi-
lively couldn't get away, and am 10th to
depart now" Mr.. Hannaford refused to
talk of railroad affairs, as he had cast all
such thoughts aside for the time being
and was wholly bent on pleasure. It is
surmised, however, and we'll may be, that
he has an eye open to business at the
same time. Rumors of the extension of
the Northern Pacific from Billings to
Great Falls have been numerous of late
and Mr.. HannafOrd is doubtless here to
look up the opportunities ut this end of
the line.
Mayor Gibson-In claiming that upon
large areas of land in Northern Montana
crops of wheat and oats can be success
fully grown, one year with another with
out irrigation, l am met with opposition
coming almost invariably from stock
men, who, from the nature of their bust
ness, are opposed to the developement Of
agriculture in Montana; or from those
who have never attempted to grow crops
here. am aware that in many parts of
Montana successful agriculture cannot be
carried on without irrigation, but this is
due to the peculiar soils Of those section
As a general rule, the soil of the valley or
low lands Of Montana is very rich, bnt
carries in its composition so much clay
that it is easily dried by the hot winds.
The beautiful and fertile Sun River val
ley cannot grow paying crops without ir-
rigation for this reason. The bench lands
and high prairies of northern Montana
are generally very different in their com
position, the surface being mellow, san
dy loan, beneath which is stratum Of
clay.
