When seen last evening Mr.. Herbig said:
Yes. it is true that / have been named
for the position, although 1 would prefer
that there be nothing said about it for
the present I Will leave tonight for that
place on business connected with my ap-
pointment. The reason that / would
rather have nothing said about it is that

den change"
From the manner in which he spoke OF
the appointment it is inferred that Mr..
Herbig was totally unaware that he was
scheduled for 4 promotion.

lature failed to agree on one i'm
portant provision of the act.
This provision was the location of
the home. The bill as introduced ar
btrarily fixed it ''at or near the town
of Glendive in the county of Dawson. "
This was Objectionable, not so much
perhaps as to the place named, but
as to the manner of naming it, it be
ing the unanimous opinion of all in
terested, with the exception of a few
from the extreme eastern portion of
the state, that the matter of location
should be left open to be fixed here
after by the board of managers or
such other board as the law might
prescribe.
1t happened that the chairman of
the committee in charge of the bill
was from one of the eastern counties
and a strenuous supporter of the OBJ
jectionable provision. In this he
was supported by the second member
Of the committee and between them

MONTANA SOLDIERS HOME

Article X. of the constitution of the
state of Montana, under the title of
State Institutions and Public Build
ings,' names among others to be es-
tablished and supported by the state
Soldiers Home.
The Legislative assembly was some
what SLOW IN taking action in this
matter and it was not until the 18th
of March, 1895, that the act provid-
ing for the location of the home,
erection of the buildings. admission
of inmates and the management
thereof became a law.
1t has been believed by some, per-
haps by many, that no effort had been
made in this direction prior to this
session, but this is by no means true;
a bill for the same purpose was intro
duced and active and persistent
work done to secure its passage dur
ing the session of 1898. 1t failed,
but not for the reason that major
ity of the members of the legislat-
ure were opposed to it, but from the
fact that the active friends of the
measure, both in and out of the legis-

tender and too late for this climate.
The hardy. early ripening varieties
produce regular crops of the finest
fruit.
But the king of all fruits is the ap-
ing original man to his downfall. It
is a we'll known fact that the finest
favored apples are the short lived
fall varieties, and these apples are
grown to perfection here with the ad-
ditional advantage that they will
keep much longer than the same
varieties grown in other sections.
The fall apple of other localities is
here an early winter variety AS ar
example, the Wealthy apple is here
in its prime at Christmas time; it is
picked about October l.
"The proof Of the pudding is in the
eating" and the proof Of the orchard
is in the revenue it will produce.
A page of actual experience in fruit
growing is worth a whole volume of
theory and speculation, and what has
been accomplished by one man is the
surest index to the degree of success
that should attend the efforts of
others.
The writer has been engaged in
fruit growing in the Flathead for
twelve years past, the last eight
years of which his work has been
somewhat extensive, and the results
may be of value to others. The first
orchard of any size was started in
1895. about 1000 trees being set out
in that year, Of which number only
about one-half proved to be true to

they controlled the situation, no
amendment would be reported, it was
the bill as it was or none. 1t being
near the end of the session the mat
ter was dropped.
At the annual encampmont of the
Grand Army of the Republic in 1894
a committee was appointed to pre-
pare bill providing for the estab-
lishment of a home to be presented
at the next session of the Legislative
assembly. AS a result of their labors
the law practically as it stands to-
day was passed. The location was
left in the hands of the board of
managers subject to the approval of
the governor
Owing to the lack of funds in the
state treasury it was not until the
spring of 1896 that active operations
began. Several propositions, all of
them liberal and most of them valu-
able, were received, but there was
nothing to compare with the offer
made by the citizens of Columbia
Falls, of the beautiful farm on the
bank of the Flathead and their offer
was promptly accepted. 1t consisted

SO, and Of the hospital, Quilt in
1900 10, a total Of 60, that only
once prior to the present time has
the home been filed, and that oniy
for few days in the winter of 1901
Since the first of the present month
it has been filled to the limit with a
a few applications on file waiting for
a vacancy. These occur frequently,
however, and it is not anticipated
that either new applicants or men
returning from furlOugh will at any
time have to wait very long before
there IS place for them.
The life of the members of the
home, while somewhat monOtonOus
at this time of the year, is by no
means dreary or tiresome. The lib
rary is fairly we'll supplied with
books and magazines. and many of
the newspapers of the state, both
daily and weekly, send a copy regNl-
larly to the homo which courtesy is
highly appreciated. The smoking
room Immediately over the library is
the place of general resort and where
all the questions of the day are ar
gued and discussed, sometimes at
great length.
In the matter of furlOughs and alb.
sences there is practically no restric-
ton. the members are free to go
whenever they so desire. but in view
of the great increase of the number
of applications for admission an or
der was made by the board of man
ayers at their meeting in August last
providing that in future new appli-
Giants should be admitted to the ca
pacity of the home regardless Of alb
sentees.
The rules and regulations, while
covering almost every point are as
liberal as possible and it certainly
has been the intention of the board
of managers and all others concern
ed in the management to make the
Montana Soldiers Home as comfort
able and pleasant as any other home
and it is believed that in this they
have been at least reasonably sue
cessful.

ton. The codling moth flies only at
night for laying eggs, and the cool
nights of this section are against it,
while the comparatively dry atmos-
phere does not favor the fungus dis
eases so prevalent in other states.
Another advantage which the fruit
grower Of this secuon enjoys is the
fact that fruits of all kinds are raised
without irrigation. The expense of
building and maintaining bitches and
handling the water is considerable,
while non-irrigated fruit will keep
longer and stand shipping better than
irrigated fruit. Most Of the orchards
in the valley are just coming into
bearing or have produced only few
crops, but a few orchards have been
bearing for about twelve years, and
during that time not a single failure
or even partial failure has been had
This refers, of course, to the varie-
ties that are adapted to this climate
which includes all of the hardy varie-
ties of apples, plums, cherries, pears
and small fruits. The Japan plums
and several varieties of pears do not
do well here. Peaches and grapes
have been grown along the shores of
Flathead lake, but they cannot be
called a commercial success for they
require warm nights and are not
adapted to climate suited to the
production of the best quality of ap-
pies, just as the best apples cannot
be grown in a peach and grape eli
mate.
Aside from the attractions of fruit
growing as business occupation
there is no product of the farm that
will add SO much to the health and
enjoyment of the family as the differ
ent varieties of fruit and every farm
er should at least produce sufficient
to supply the wants of his own
family.
All of the sour cherries do remark
ably we'll in this locality, the Early
Richmond. Montmorency, Wragg,
English Morello and Ostheim being
the varieties most grown. They be-
gin bearing the second or third year
and never fail to produce a heavy
crop, 5-year-old trees yielding about
so pounds. Not many sweet cherries
have been planted and those growing
have not produced any fruit Until
the past season when a heavy crop
was gathered Whether they will
continue to produce or will again e.
come barren the future alone can de-
tenmine. The Bing and the Royal
Ann are the leading varieties. The
sour cherry is used for canning and
for making wine, the latter being
rich in both color and flavor.
In plrms the Lombard and Moore's
Arctic are the leaders, although the
Hungarian prune and similar varie-
ties grow to perfection; the Green
Gage also does remarkably we'll.
Pears have not been extensively
planted in this section. but enough
have been grown to prove that they
can be raised successfully. although
a good many of the varieties are too

practically of a quarter section of
land, and while somewhat distant
from the more thickly populated por-
ton of the state was in every way
admirably adapted to the purpose.
The contract for the erection OF the
building was let as soon as possible
and completed late in the fall of 1896,
but the home was not really opened
for the reception of inmates until
June 1897, the first applicant being
received on the 21st day of that
month. From that day to this the ad-
missions have been steady and con-
tinuous but not particularly rapid.
On the 1st day of December 1897, the
total number admitted was %, same
date in 1898, g. 1899, 81; 1900, 1O7 I;
1901, 1873; 1902, Isl; 1903, 1874. OF
this number 60 have been discharged

infancy. This suggests the thought
that the business will soon be over
done and the market glutted with
fruit, but this prediction has been
made annually for the last fifty years
and good fruits, especially apples, are
selling at improved prices. The rea-
sons for this are apparent, for while
the production of fruit is constantly
on the increase the market is eX-
banding even more rapidly. The
United States alone will soon con-
tain one hundred millions of con-
sumers, for fruit is used by every
man. woman and child, and improved
methods of transportation has added
the millions Of the Orient to the con-
sumers of American fruits. Another
factor in the problem is to be found
in the fact that the orchards of the
older states are dying out through
the ravages of the codling moth
and other pests and while thousands
of new orchards are being planted,
the net increase is really small.
In the matter of markets the Flat
head has an especial advantage that
will improve as the years go by.
nine-tenths of the population of the
state of Montana reside in districts
where no fruit is grown. The great
mining centers require immense
quantities of fruit, while extending
from the very door of the Flathead to
the east for hundreds Of miles is a
fertile plain that. through govern
ment irrigation, will soon be settled
with millions of farmers and dotted
with hundreds Of populous towns and
cities. Owing to climatic conditions
this vast section will never produce
fruit to any extent and the nearest
source of supply will be the Flathead.
So far the orchards of this section
have not been infested with the cod
ling moth and other injurious pests
and it seems probable that they will
never become a menace, as the eli
mate does not favor their propaga-
