Montana Lands
r =

Awriter in tbs. Minneapolis Journal
gives some figures about Montana lands
which are interesting. He says:
Seventy one and a half million acres
of land in Montana, or about three
fourths of the total area Of that state,
! are still vacant, and for the most part
unsurveyed. Including reservations of
all kinds, about 81 per cent of the state
belongs to the public domain. The land
in that state SO far appropriated is
mainly along the rivers, and a consider
able portion Of the river land is still
open. 1t is estimated by the general
land Office that. with the water supply
at present available. more than 11,000,
900 acres can be irrigated, which is a
little less than the total amount already
disposed Of by the government. The
agricultural department thinks that the
amount of irrigable land might be con
siderably increased by the building OF
canals from the Missouri and Yellow
stone rivers, but the expense of such
work would be heavy, because the
rivers flow far below the level of the
plains. Much will depend upon the
possibility Of storing the spring foods,
but at the most hopeful view Of the case,
ona-fifth OF the state is reclaimable from
it's arid condition. This is the figure
set by Professor Max West Of the division
of statistics in the agricultural depart
ment, who has made the public domain
a close stu y for years. Professor West
thinks that the opportunity for irriga-
ticn seems especially favorable in the
southeastern part of the state, in the
Yellowstone and. Big Horn carrying ar
amount of water considerably in excess
of any probable, demand. Tae greater
part Of the state, however, lies within
the Missouri basin, where perhaps {
million acres may be irrigated with al
economical use of the water supply.

Northern Montana wool was scld last
year at above Is cents, when-the market
opened at 10: this wear the market
has opened at 1914 and there are many
who expect to see 20 cents paid. The
growers are in an independent position
this year and able to consign, if they
desire to do SO; the buyers must have
wool, and they freely admit that they ex-
pect to see better prices than last years.
Justice, Bateman & Co. OF. .Philadel-
phia, in their last circular, openly CON
fess that prices must go up to the i'm
porting point this year, and the buyers
are not attempting to dispute that as
s%ertion. Edward Porter May, who re-
presents Jeremiah Williams o., said
the other day while in this city, that he
expected to have to pay more than was
paid last year, and a local buyer states
that he expects 20. cents to be paid.

PLACED IN ASYLUM.
Whisky Made James Lyons Crazy
On Religion
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
Provo, Feb. 14-Sheriff Storrs today ar
rested James Lyons of American Fork
and brought him to Provo, where he was
tried for his sanity and committed TO the
insane asylum.
Lyons is crazy on religion. He has two
little pieces OF transparent stone or glass
which he calls peep-stones, and which, by
looking into, he claims he can see living
pictures from The spirit world, the chill
dren of Israel, angels with long flowing
white robes and wings sailing through
the deep blue of the heavens, the Savior
with 4 halo of light around his sanity
mead, the gates aJar and the venerable
St Peter, and countless other images. lie
seems perfectly sincere. He says he is
special revelator of God. Any one may
look through his wonderful peep-stones,
but they refuse to reveal to others what
he can see.- Alcohol has played havoc
with his mental faculties.
Lyons has lived in American Fork for
the last four years. He has no family, is
about IS years old and served as a SOL
der IN the federal army during the re-
bellion. Several times he was wounded,
and for a year and a half he was a
prisoner in the famous Libby prison.
August Robin was also tried for his
sanity today and committed to the
asylum. This is the second time Robin
has been tried. He is a Frenchman and
about two months ago was brought down
from Thistle. Last June he brought up
at that city and remained there until the
charity of the inhabitants, doing odd jobs
now and again. At times he would be-
come fierce and sullen- This frightened
the people of Thistle and he was brought
TO Provo, but turned loose, as it was
thought his Deculiarities were due to his
being in a strange land.
After his first trial he was sent to his
mother in Salt Lake, but within two
days he was back to the Jail in Provo,
saying, Me here, me content" Since
then he has lived at the jail.
The cause of his insanity is evidently
the loss of a herd of sheep in California,
which his partner is said to have swindled
him out of.
