vation mean? It means 1,l5O, 900 acres
of the finest farming and grazing land
in the state of Montana, SIS, 900 acres
of which lie in Rosebud county, con-
tanning a possibility of maintaining

EpWOrth League
Entertainment Course

The Epworth League Lecture course
is matter of merit which should be
appreciated by every Forsythian who
desires the intellectual, when it comes
to entertainment and recreation. Keep
your eye upon the coming attractions
given by the local Epworth League,
with the musicales and lectures to be
presented, which show some of the
best talent of the country. We believe
the best is none too good for our city.
The first event will be the Harry But
terworth company on November 29th;
everyone of this company is an artist
in his line. We solicit the co-Opera-
tion of the good people of this town
in making these entertainments a sue
cess, believing that all who attend
them will be fully repaid for the eff
ort. Whatever may be obtained above
expenses will be applied on church
debts. COMMITTEE.

SCHOOL NOTES

Rev. r. S. Leland and daughter,
Miss Katherine, visited the various
of the school Monday.
Mr.. Leland gave the high school a
very interesting and instructive talk.
A number of pupils, one from Him
ois, one from North Dakota and one
from Rosbud County, were enrolled
Monday.
The attendance has been irregular
the past few days on account of sick
ness and other causes.
1t would add greatly to the etficien
cy Of the work accomplished if all
could be brought to see that school is
a business proposition. The schools
yield a larger return in dollars and
cents upon the capital invested than
any other public institution, yes or
private institution, in the community.

his work successfully and be absent a

children from school on account OF

ments forfeits the claim. Entry fees
are $1,000 for 100 acres, $l1.OO for 80

OMAHA LIVE STOCK MARKET
Specially Reported tor tins Paper by
Clay. Robinson & Company, Live
Stock Commission Merchants

CATTLE: Supplies the past week
have been about 5000 heavier than
for the same period of last week.
Good beef steers have held up right
at steady prices, although the COM
mon and medium kinds are probably
10 to 10 cents lower. Feeder buyers
have aided materially in holding Up
prices on the pretty good fleshy cattle,
where they had weight, as the inquiry
is very good for this class to go to the
country. Good to choice killing steers
are selling at 1915 to 81. 25; fair to
good $3. 40 to $3. rs; common $3. 10 and
down. There has been good run
of COW stuff all week and the market
has been rather draggy all week.
While the choice heavy fat COWS are
not such bad sellers, the common to
fair grades have been hard to dispose
of and are all OF 10 to Is cents lower
for the week. Good to choice COWS
are selling up around $3. 90 to $3. Is );
fair to good 80. 40 to $2.65; Gamers
81. 65 to 300. The inquiry for feed
ers this week has been of very good
propositions, and the movement to
the country has necessarily been quite
heavy. There is good demand for
all desirable classes, preferably the
heavy cattle. Choice yearling stuff
is scarce, and anything of this sort
has sold at strong figures. Taken as
a whole the situation is just about
steady if not strong with the close OF
last week. The run has been getting
light the latter part of the week, and
this gives dealers chance to clean
out pretty much at the end of the
week without loss.
SHEEP: Receipts show all increase
of the past week OF about IL, 900 all
the way through and practically all
classes of desirable killing lambs and
sheep are fully steady with a week
ago. Good to choice wethers are sell
ing at "a. so to $4 rs; which may pos
sibly be little stronger than week
ago Friday; fair to good kinds "a. q
to "a. 40; good to choice yearIings 80.
90 to $5 l5; fair to good "a. SO to $5. 90
good to choice ewes $4. Is to $4. so; fail
to good $3. rs to $4 10; good to choice
lambs rs. 40 to $6. rs; fair to good $6. II
to $6. 40; good feeding lambs 5000 tC
$6. 40; good wethers $4.25 to "a. so
, good yearlings $4.s5 to $5. Is; goot
breeding ewes $4.2 to $3.50 The
above prices for feeding sheep an(
Q lambs are all strong with a week ago
while the feeding lambs may possibl,
appear higher These were choice
feeders and had a very fair killing
:, end on them. Summing up the whol
situation prospects have been the mos
favorable the entire week and spite o
the liberal supplies trading has beer
extremely healthy.

Nature Of the Soil

Nature of the Soil
This reservation is situated in what
is known as the Yellowstone valley.
The soil is ''sandy loam' and is
very productive. All the farm crops
known to the middle west are grown
here in rich abundance under the sys
tenn of irrigation, and the soil and
climate are especially adaptedto small
grain. Wheat averages from Is to so
bushels per acre; oats run from 40 to
100 bushels per acre; barley, 40 to 90
bushels; rye, 20 to Is bushels; corn has
not been universally grown. but yields
of 40 to 90 bushels per acre have been
obtained; potatoes are as fine as ever
grown and yield from $50 to 600 bush
els per acre, and no finer soil was ever
known for the growth of sugar beets,
which are now being cultivated and
contracts are being signed for the cul-
tivation Of some 1000 acres in an ad-
joining county. Orchards are increas-
ing yearly and apples of the very best
quality are now grown in many young
orchards. Strawberries, blackberries
and raspberries yield bounteous1y by
being protected during the winter.
Alfalfa hay runs five to six tons per
acre and commands good price, aver
aging from 500 to $500 in the stack,
net, or $500 to $500 per acre; timo-
thy hay runs from one to two and one
half tons per acre and brings IN the
neighborhood of $500 per ton. The
climate is in general dry, healthful
and eXhi!erating. Tornadoes and
cyclones are unknown.
Stock Raising
This industry is still advancing and
although Montana is the northwestern
state of the American Union, lying
between the 44th and 49th latitude ant
between the lO4th and 10th degrees
west longitude, no inconvenience is ex
perienced on account of the weather
; cattle and horses roam the fields al
