REGISTER FOR LAND.
Forty Bloomfield Men Return From
Billings, Montana

From Wednesdays Daily
The land in the Grow indian res-
ervation. in our Judgment, Is Of very
good quality. This is especially true
OF the valley land" said member Of
q party of forty Bloomfield men. who
nave been to Montana to register for
the opening Of the Grow reservation,
the drawing for which will begin July
q The party left Bloomfield Monday,
June 1S, and went directly to Billings
over the Burlington, having chartered
special car. They passed through the
city last evening enroute homo. In
speaking Of Billings and the Crow res
ervation land, one of the gentlemen
had the following to say:
Billings is the finest looking civ
around the Yellowstone park. It is sit.
uated on the Yellowstone river be.
tween two ranges Of the Rocky Noun
talns. Just recently there has been a
million dollar beat sugar factory erect
ed, which is a quarter of a mile in
length, and the city has a street car
me mapped out on paper. Already
Two railroads, the Burlington and the
Northern Pacific, enter the place and
another Is headed that way. The ma.
tional government is digging an expen.
slve irrigating ditch there, for all the
tillable land must be irrigated.
Land Looks Good.
The Crow Reservation land looleed
good from the car windows, especially
the valleys. About one-tenth Of the to-
tai acreage will be suitable for tilling.
The main crop is alfalfa, although SUI
gar beats, oats, wheat and potatoes are
also largely cultivated.
There is much that Is beautifu,
around Billings. Ten miles from the
city there is park in which a herd Of
100 elk are preserved, and in another
park small herd of buffalo Craze.
Yon see many Indians on the streets
OF billings, dressed in their gaudy
blankets. Many of these sturdy bucks
are said to be very wealthy in both
land and money. Billings at present
has q population of about 5000. but IL
said to be rapidly growing"

pastor Of the Immaculate Conception

parish in the city of Burlington, some
six or seven years prior to 1880, and
he endeared himself not merely to the
members of his congregation, but to
hundreds of Burlingtonians outside of
his church, who soon came to know
and to reverence the good man. Faith
er Gum was born in the Emerald Isle.
December 8, 1910. He studied his
classical courses in the Ireland schools,
