few weeks have conveyed the informa-
ton that she was failing rapidly and
her death a matter of but little time.

years Of age, and had been a resident

idson, for many years agent Of the

overlooking the city from the north
west. In the past few years death

family and then another until O the
only surviving member is Minnie
Davidson, who is now at Pasadena,
where she went with her sister. The
death of her father and mother and
sister, Miss Hattie Davidson. occurred
within a short time. This was fol-
lowed a year or 81 ago by the death

Kittie Davidson, ait the hospital in
this city. At that time Margaret was

Next year the output will be nearly

length of the road. is niEety.foir

Between Harlowton and Lewistown
there will probably be at least three
stations, n at or near Garneill, one
lower down on Ross Fork and one
on Cottonwood or Beaver Creek.
When the officials of the road were
in Lewistown recently, arranging for
a franchise to pass through the city,

much limited no idea of the agricul-
tural product of Fergus county in fu-
ture years can be gained from the rec
ord of the past. Only enough OF
grains and grasses have been grown
to supply the demand of the farmer
himself, his less fortunate neighbor
and the resident population of Lew
istown. Practically nothing has been
shipped.
But OF what the soil can produce
per acre titled a good report can be
made. This year the oat crop will
average ~sixty-fye bushels to the acre
and the weight will be fully forty
pounds to the hushel. Wheat fields
yielded fifty bushels to the acre,
weight sixty.fiye pounds. Winter
wheat was especially good this sea-
son and No. / hard wheat has been
selling in Lewistown for 81 per cwt.
since the crop was harvested. The
barley crop has been exceptionally
good. the yield this year being fully
sixty-fve bushels to the acre.
From the timothy land of Frank
Day. neal Lewistown, four tons were
taken from each acre and while this
may be above the average still every
where have good crops been raised.
Each year larger paintings of alfalfa
are made and this has become quite
a staple among the stockmen. Two
crops are the rule. but three crops are
no exception.
Diversified farming is general.
probably a majority of the ranchmen
have a good sized bunch of cattle,
horses to sell and many have devoted
considerable time to freighting.
Plenty Of Land Left.
While many new settlers have ar
rived in Fergus county during the
past twelve months, especially from
Kansas. Iowa, Missouri and Oklaho-
ma, still settlement has been by no
means rapid and there is yet an
abundance OF land for the man pre-
