tration after the war. but we are no
longer an exhausted people. and they can
| thrive upon our fame no longer. Such
creatures live only upon disease and as
health and strength came back to US
and we shook them off, they drifted to
the North; and they live there only upon
a diseased state of mind. wherever false
opinion toward the South survives. Thank
Heaven. even that refuge IS &c ting less
and less from year to year; yes, even
from month TO month. 1T Is vile

when a man Is an exile from the COM

and has never a good word to say for
his own people. and when his name is
a by-word Of contempt among them,

pie can arraign a man.
Some OF these scalawags are still left

repudtating the land of their nativity
and maligning the noble men who have

he was. Stuart insisted that neither his

posterity to the broad field of honor upon

his faith and duty. And this. in spite

The bachelor Governor Of Kansas fas
received offers OF marriage from hundreds
OF women in the United States and
Canada, but has written each one a
polite note to say that he is not looking
for a wife. The Governor is altogether
consderate. He declines to give the
names of his suitors. saying that they
are honestly seeking husbands and would
make good wives. The Governor also be-
lieves no doubt that they are women OF
good taste.

the area Of New York, more than that of
Ohio, nearly as much as that of Iowa
Those comparisons are enough to show
the great possibilities in the agricultural
area of Montana.
Montana has great irrigated valleys and
will have more and the undertaking Of
irrigation by the general government
means as much to Montana as any state.
But 1T must not be forgotten that the
bench lands Of Montana between the
great plains and the mountains constitute
one of the most fertile and reliable gen.
eral farming regions in the world. These
bench lands are in every respect the
equal Of the much Wanted lands of west
ern Canada to attract American settlers
to which such determined efforts are now
being made.
1t can be said without fear of dispute
that these bench lands are better wheat
producers than the Red River valley or
any part of Minnesota or the Dakotas.
For many years farms in this region have
averaged about IS bushels an acre Of
wheat and 40, so and 60 bushels are by
no means extremely uncommon.
There are great areas of this good land
that may yet be homesteaded.
The markets are excellent. Monta ma
has 275, 900 prosperous, wealthy people
who consume generously and pay roundly.
This home market still affords a demand
that Is far in excess of the home supply.
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-09-25

Montana is 1.-The Treasure State in
more senses than one. The attractive
designation was given 1t because of its
superb record as a producer OF minerals
of value and because of it's unlimited re-
sources in them. 1t is true that Montana
Is pre- -eminently a mining state, and that
it is so thought Of by people everywhere.
Even it's own people have thought so so
much that they have not given due
thought and encouragement, until recent
Years, TO great resources as an agricul-
tural state.
Next to its mines Montana has been
known best on account of it's great cattle
ranges and thousands of fine beeves they
have contributed to the eastern markets
and to the enricS ment of the cattlemen.
But a large part of Montana, perhaps
one-third. is adapted to agriculture, with
and without irrigation. The time is com
ing when Montana will not only produce
an abundance of cereals and vegetable
for it's own consumption, but will have a
great surplus to export.
10 say that q third Of Montana is
adapted to agriculture may not mean
much to a person who does not have In
mind the fact that Montana is in size
the third state in the union, being exceeded
only by Texas and California. Its area is
147 900 square miles A third Of that is
1000 square miles. That is more than
