istown for the purpose of advancing
the prosperity of the surrounding
country.
An effort will be made to establish
a pork packing establishment, which
would prove to be a very profitable
investment, as large amount of
meats are shipped from Chicago to
the Judith country which pays n
freight of at least 50 per 100, and the
here at less cost to the farmer than
they can be produced in Illinois on
corn. The barley grown in the basin
is just the thing for fattening hogs and
makes the sweetest pork of any grain
known to the trade. Such n thing as
hog cholera is unknown in this
country. A cheese factory is also
spoken of. Milk can be secured in
abundance from the farmers. A
cheese and butter factory would prove
very profitable.

THE SOLDIERS RoME.
Advantages Offered by the Site of the Old
Fort Maginnis.

The Helena Independent OF the 18th
inst. contained the following under
Lewistown date:
Among the most important mat
ters that came up for discussion at
recent meeting of the board of trade
OF this city was the selection of site
for the location OF the soldiers home.
1t was the unanimous opinion of the
many members present as well as the
citizens of Lewistown and the Judith
basin generally, that taking the state
at large and all offers OF the different
sites considered, that no better selec-
tion could be made than the aban-
doned military post OF Fort Maginnis.
MaginnIs was q 1--WE company post,
two OF infantry and three OF cavalry.
1t is situated III the heart OF large
tract of agricultural land, lies on an
Inexhaustible water right, and can be
easily supp lied with an abundance OF
wood for all time o come.
1t is true that the buildings have
been mutilated TO the extent OF hav
ing the doors and windows stolen,
but the chimneys are all still standing
and in good condition. while the
roofs, ceilings, floors, and, in fact, the
| buildings themselves, are all complete.
There are many surplus buildings
that could be sold OFF and it is safe to
say that at the small cost of 1000
this abandoned post, which IN all
probability will never be used for any
other purpose, could be put in such
perfect condition that 1T could not be
surpassed by any other selection .or
the purpose above mentioned.
Fort Maginnis is situated just 20
miles northeast of the geographical
center of Montana. Its worst and
apparently only drawback is its
present lack OF railroad facilities, but
before the necessary arrangements
for its occupancy are completed the
all powerful arm of the Burlingt on
will be stretched across the Judith and
it's depot and shipping point for this
vast section will be about 90 miles
distant.

inst:
quantities OF government land waiting
for settlement. There is believed to
be no better land anywhere for the
production of almost any kind oi
grain than i'm the Judith basin; and
most of it can be done without irriga-
ton. 1t is no unusual thing to grow
as bushels of oats, 40 to As bushels
of hard spring wheat, and 65 to 20
bushels of soft wheat to the acre.
Potatoes and all vegetables can be
raised in abundance. Last year
tomatoes ripened some four weeks
before frost came. All that is re-
quired to insure a man and his
family a good living. and in a short
time a competency is good health,
industry, economy and a determine
tion to succeed. Prices for the pro-
ducts OF the soil compare favorably
with prices in other sections of the
state, and considerably advanced
over older eastern states. The
average prices to farmers the last
year has been about as follows;
Wheat 80 cents per 100, oats rs
cents, dressed hogs eight cents, barley
rs to 80 cents. butter so cents, with
all vegetables bringing so per cent more
gold and silver. which surround the
basin, are large consumers of all oi
the products of the soil, and as the
mining industry is now proving very
successful with new developments
daily, it is almost certain to make
good markets for the farmer in every
thing he can produce.
There is now q good flour mill
roller process, located at Lewistown
1t buys for cash all the good wheat
offered for sale. The merchants O
Lewistown keep in stock everything
necessary for the comforts OF tn
family as we'll as the cultivation o
the soil. The town is already pro
vided with good schools and churches
The society is very good and peopl
coming from the older states will b
surprised at the refinement and in
telligence of the people in the valley.
The only drawback to the countr,
is that it has no railroads facilities

BLAND ON SILVER.
The Great Apostle Makes Strong Address
to an Immense Audience at
Denver.

Hon. Richard p. Bland, the Mis-
souri, x-congressman, opened his
Colorado lecture tour at Denver last
week. An audience that filled the
spacious Broadway theater greeted the
silver champion, who was introduced
by Senator Teller, with long con-
tinued applause, and given the closest
attention throughout his address,
the delivery OF which occupied nearly
two hours. 1t was a notable TACT
that fully half of those i'm attendance
were women.
81 have chosen for my subject, y
said Mr. Bland, The fight of 20 years
IN congress for the free coinage OF
silver anu Ins u2uL yet 20 come.
"This is the first time have ever
visited u silver mining state since this
years battle began. have no inter
est whatever in the states producing
the precious metals, and no sympathy
for them beyond the interest and
sympathy | have in our common
cause. The losses your silver pro-
ducers have sustained on account OF
the decentralization of silver are not
to be compared to losses OF the far
mers in Missouri in the fall OF prices
OF farms and the products OF them
as a consequence, as We believe, to
the demonetization OF silver"
Bland prefaced his review OF the 20
years. battle for silver with an
account OF the manner in which its
demonstration was accomplished
and gold established as the unit oi
value by the act OF 1878.
"While it is evident" he said "from
the manner in which this revolution
i'm our monetary system was accom-
plished that it was done in an indirect
and stealthy manner, yet it was the
most important and far-reachine
legislation on money ever enacted by
our government"
The lecturer then reviewed fully al
the attempts made in congress tC
remonetize silver, after the effects O
the act of 1873 became known. Hs
said the free coinage bill of 1877
which was vetoed by President
Hayes, was voted for by Mr.. Carlisle
OF Kentucky, now secretary of TIN
treasury; Mr.. Foster, who was secre
tary of the treasury under Mr.. Har
rison's Administrations; Mr.. Herbert
now secretary OF the navy; Mckinle.
now governor of Ohio; Mr.. Mills, O
Texas, now u senator, and Mr.. Nor
rison, OF Illinois, now interstate com
missioner.
"The fact, added Mr.. Bland, ''tha
most of these gentlemen, if not all @
them, have changed their views upol
the question, should be attributed {
the uncertainty of human opinio
and the action of public men, 70
surely the necessity OF silver restors
ton is as meritorious and urgent a
it was then"
Regarding the repeal of the Shei
man silver purchase law, Mr.. Blan
said: Impartial history will shor

this country and Europe had sought
to bring our people and their repre-
sentatives into complete snbiection
"The vast debts throughout the
country were pressed for collection
and when debtors went to the banks
to secure terms to meet their obliga
tions were coolly told that it was not
safe to loan money until the repeal
of the purchase clause of the Sher.
man act.
The friends OF gold monometallism
insisted that the repeal of the pur.
chasing clause of the Sherman act
would restore confidence throughout
the country, invite an inflow of gold
to our shores, and would bring uni
versal prosperity. Just the reverse
has occurred. We have sold bonds to
the amount OF S1J 100000 since
the repeal in order to check the flow
OF gold from our shores and to main
tain the single gold standard. The

lesson that has been the best in favor

ain all the great battles in congress
on the silver question the southern
people, while enthusiastic for silver,
have had that sympathy and en-
thusiasm clouded with the dreaded
force bills or federal interference with
their local self government. Forum
ately, however, in the great battle
over the force bill in the senate, the
senator's of the west, and especially OF
the gold and silver mining states, in
their opposition to this measure,
