FREE HOMES IN MONTANA,
Twenty-seven Townships of Goverunen
Land Opened to Filing.

Iwenty-seven Townships of Government
Land Opened to Filing.
Twenty-seven townships, comprising
622,0S0 acres in the vicinity of GILBERT
son, Montana, have recently been OPEN
ed to filing by the government. Some
of these townships lie along the Great
Northern Railway and others lie along
the Big Muddy River. Only the best
townships out Of vast area so miles
square were surveyed. Much of this
land is in Paradise Valley contiguous
to the Great Northern Railway, along
the Missouri river and the Big Muddy
Valley, but is fine rolling prairie or ia
bic land back from the river. This
land is situated within from 10 to 30
miles Of the Dakota and Montana state
line, Culbertson being only 80 miles
from Buford, N. d.
The ranchers and farmers have raised
good crops during the past three years,
previous to which stock-raising was the
only industry. Prof. Z. B. Linfield,
OF the Montana Experiment Station,
says no better land exists anywhere
than there is in the vicinity of Culhert-
son. Crops are glown here as follows:
Oats so to so bushels to the acre and 40
pounds to the bushel. Flax 8 to 16
bushels to the acre; wheat Is to 80 bus:
barley 80 to 40 bushels, and speltz go to
80 bushels to the acre. These crops
have been raised On new breaking, and
as the ground becomes better cultivated
the crops will be better. The soil is a
black loan, averaging - inches in
depth, with clay subsoil. There is suf-
hcient moisture here to raise a good
crop every year without irrigation.

Avoi Cheap and "Big Can" Baking

The cheap baking powders have but one
recommendation; they certainly give the pur-
chaser plenty of powder for his money. These
powders are so carelessly made from inferior
materials that they will not make light, whole
some food. Further, these cheap baking pow
derS have a very small percentage of 1eaven-
ing gas; therefore it takes from two TO three
times as much of such powder TO raise the cake
or biscuit as il does Of Calumet Baking Pow
der. Therefore, in the long run the actual cost
to the consumer of such powders is more than
Calumet would be. Cheap baking powders
leave the bread somewhat bleached and acid.
sometimes yellow and alkaline. aud always
unpalatable. They are never Of uniform,
strength and quality.
Why not buy a perfectly wholesome baking
powder like Calumet, that's at the same time
moderate in price and one tina can be relied
upon! Calumet is always the same, keeps in
deaniteiy and gives the cook the least trouble.

states that all kinds of. game is plen-

game particularly moose which are

Didn't Sell to French.

Paris, Dec. 6.-The report that
Wright Bros, aeronauts of Dayton o..
are still negotiating with the French
government regarding their airship, is
incorrect. The negotiations were def
niitely broken off several months ago.
The Wrights submitted general plans
to- the government, guaranteeing a
flight Of fifteen miles and asking for
100000. The height guaranteed was
only seventy i've feet. AS 900 feet is
considered essential for war purposes
the government declined to give more
than $4,000. The recent development
In aeroplanes, especially M. Santos
Dumonts demonstration, has opened d
field for rapid progress with heavier
air machines
The chief secret of the Wrights' ma
chine Is the method Of maintaining the
equilibrium. This Is accomplished by
control of the angle and extension Of
the wings instead Of side rudders. as
In the Santos Dumont machine.

Secretary Shaw Sends
an Appeal to Bankers
HE WANTS SMALL BILLS IN CIR
cULATIoN.
The Secretary Suggests That the
Banks Send in Silver Certificates
Which Can Be Exchanged for Bills
= Smaller Denominations.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Secretary of
the Treasury Shaw today issued the
following open letter to all banking
institutions of the United States:
"The very marked scarcity of small
bills is noticeable everywhere. and the
treasury is powerless to relieve the
conditions. In the absence of legis-
lation allowing national banks to issue
a larger proportion of their circulation
in denomination of $5 the banks them
selves must be relied upon to allevi-
ate the strain as far as possible. There
are in circulation nearly $15,000,O0O in
silver certificates Of denomination of
$40. Many of these are doubtless
packed away in the vaults of the vari-
GUS banking institutions and held as
reserve. Permit me respectfully to ask
that each institution, state and ma
tional, search the money in its vaults
and send these $40 silver certificates
to the treasury. They will promptly
be converted into 81 bills and 50 bills,
70 the very great relief of the country.
1t is the only remedy"
