1t is a well known fact among farmers
that cereals, it sown in time, will COM
mence to sprout and grow as soon as the
native grasses do upon adjacent lands.
If he follow this plan it is safe to say he
will raise a good crop of grain upon the
year that grass will grow and mature.
There is a seed time as well as a harvest,
and nature marks that time with unerring
certainty, and when man needs it he will
never make a mistake. If he give grain
the same chance that the native grasses
have the harvest will be sure.-River

Regarding the current report that Mr..
Hill may seek a %populous route for the
Pacific extension, a Great Falls man says
"Why Mr.. Hill has always sought new
routes. He built through the Red river
valley when it was thinly peopled. He
built over the Missouri and Milk river
routes when there were few people there.
Mr.. Hill finds profit in opening up new
regions for settlement" Hence it may
be inferred that he will go westward
from Great Falls, instead of from Butte.
In Helena, the other day. Mr.. Cannon
was asked by an Independent reporter If
the Great Northern would build via Mis-
soula. "Now," said he, "why should the
road go that way when that section al
ready has a road that handles all the
business it has? Why should it build
there when it can go through one of the
grandest stretches Of farming, grazing,
cattle, coal and mining lands in the world
that north of Flathead lake. This is
far superior to any section over which
the present line passes, and 1t is already
building up. 1t IS the shortest route to
| Spokane Falls, which it may reach, and
MS ne other railway is built in that sec
ton, it is purely it's own, and that is
where the Great Northern will build if
it will build at all" 1t is also noted thar
Mr.. Cannon recently bought a large tract
of land at Fairhaven. Wash.
