A report made by Geologist +. H.
Newell. Of the Geological Survey, says
the total number OF acres Of vacant
public lands in the United States ID
632.OlS. 122 o. which about three quarters
are fairly useful for grazing. The re-
mainder consists of rough mountains OF
desert areas 81. is doubtful says the
report, III there IS more than one per cent
Of the total amount on which an Ameri-
can could gain d living except by raising
cattle"
Mr. Newell must have a very poor
opinion OF the capacity Of the Ameri-
can citizen 20 make living 10y farming
or OF the land still remaining on Uncle
Sans farm. Judging from the success
Of sundry Americans, who have been
farming IN Montana fifteen. twenty and
twenty-five years, We believe there are
in Montana alone more than 632ojsl
acres Of vacant land on which an Ameri-
can can raise forty bushels of wheat,
forty bushels Of oats, 200 bushels Of po.
tatoes, and barley, rye, millet, sorghum,
beets, Carrots, parsnips, cacbages, tur-
nlps, timothy and alfalfa and clover in
proportion; and corn. peas, beans in
smaller quantities. Now there is room
enough in Montana on the public do
main for 10000 farms Of GOO acres, cf
which 300 acres would yield the crops
indicated above. aud the other 300 acres
would be pasture or timber lands OF
both. And there is land enough 10 the
hands Of spectators and railroads TO
double this number Of farms, and leave
half of the arabic lands in the state
still vacant
The domain Of the Northern Pacific
railroad in Montana is a vast tract Of
good lands, equal in extent to several
small kingdoms Of the fatherlands. II
Mr.. Newell is a man Of sense, as we have
a right TO expect from the position be
occupies, and will come to Montana next
June, aud will ride over the state with
US, We will show him more than 6.O0O,-
600 acres OF land that will produce forty
and fifty bushels Of wheat and oats per
acre. Some Of this land is occupied, but
there IS enough unoccuped TO give
homes TO half a million Of rural peoples.
This lands needs irrigation, and we
have shown in former article that we
have abundant water running into the |
Missouri and Columbia rivers 10 irrigato
all Of it; for, by the time one-half Of it
is irrigated, our climate will so change |
that we we will need less water than I
now, provided Uncle Sam wall prevent /
the timber men from cutting ali the .
timber from our mountains, and our
state will send every man TO the states /

resolved that il a new relation was

Ross.
Whereas, There is not one among

as would l.. s. Ross
Be it resolved, That we regret
that Ross has not consented to be-
come candidate; that we believe

true a patriot will not and can not
refuse to obey the call of his fellow
citizens; that we instruct our dele

the full vote of Austin county for
