commercial solidity OF this section in

TRADE and values in Montana depend
largely on the production OF herds and
mines, increased or modified to some
extent by the prices obtained for eat

livestock values will this year reach
500, ,OW,OOO. Rains have not been
abundant, but have been distributed

our EXTRA EDITION.

Along with our regular issue will be
found supplement devoted to the
industrial growth, population and
financial condition OF Fergus county.
1t is II grand showing for "a young
county. Notwithstanding that some
of our industries have met with great
reverses in the past few years. Two
dry seasons in succession have worked
great injury to our agricultural and
stock interests. But the recuperative
powers OF such II region and the rust

more friendly skies, will in few years
obliterate all traces of the present

While benches and bottom lands are
dry and many creeks failing that are
usually filed to the brim, the fact still
remains that in the Judith Basin, par
ticularly, there is plenty OF water
beneath the surface. The time is COM
ing when capital and ieenuity will step
in and aid or become substitute for
nature by sinking artesian wells and
building storage reservoirs. But it may
be necessary to do something before
that time arrives, i'm q small way
Wind-mills with huge tanks for storing
water are made to work automatically
and the tanks are guaranteed frost
proof. 1t might be well for ranchmen,
whQ are able, to insure water for their
stock by erecting such mills. At least
n number could club together and
make few watering places tor their
cattle. This OF course, would be done
to guard against a long, dry fall or
winter with but little snow. 1t is pos
sible that cattle would be disposed to
stay around such places and not do
well but the benefits would outweigh
this objection. Creeks and springs are
failing on some OF the sheep ranches.
Perhaps a dozen or twenty feet below
the surface could he found "a never
failing well of water. This water
could he pumped into to a tank while
sheep were feeding and the supply
kept constantly ahead OF the demand.
Ii the shrinkage oi water continues
it will be necessary to adopt measures
of safety by resorting to wind mills.
The water obtained this way would
be Of a superior quality and never
