More Irrigation for Montana.

Before the expiration of another
season the irrigated area of eastern
Montana will have been increased
by the addition of something like the
addition of $4,000 acres, exclusive
of the recently opened Huntley pro-
ject. Taking advantage of the pro-
visions of the national reclamation
act, some of the settlers on the Grow
Indian lands thrown open to settle
ment last year, have organized a COM
munity known as the Big Horn Val
ley Low Line Canal company, with
a capital stock of $4S,OO0, divided
into 5000 shares of Par value of
Sc per share. The greater part of
the capital stock has already been
subscribed for by men whose land
lit is intended to reclaim. Officers
have been elected as follows:
President, E. K. Brown; vice pres
|ident, T. E. Gay, who, with F. d.
McCormic, j. F. Bacon and James G.
Foster, constitute the board of di-
rectors.
The ditch will be about twelve
miles long and will follow the west
and north sides of the Big Horn river
Surveys have been completed, and ac-
cording to the estimates of the en-
gineer, the actual cost of the canal
will not exceed $4,000, making it
probably the cheapest per acre irri-
cation project ever undertaken in the
northwest. Several contractors are
| figuring on the job, and it is ex-
pected that the contract will be let
soon. AS no: heavy work is involved
in construction, the ditch will be fin
ished in ample time for work next
spring.

of rugged honesty and purity of pur-
pose, he has passed to his reward.

talk at that time about fear Of The

continuing the state dispcnsary sys-

isis had an easy victory in their hands
if they had had judgment enough to
use it. The state dispensary people
will not vote with them again as a
whole, and in my opinion prohibition
will be defeated in the legislature
next spring by a bigger mapority than
for ten years. Now that the fight be-
tween the state dispcnsary advocates
and those favoring the county system
is over and the county advocates have
won, the state diSpensary people in
the course Of Il year have been able
to get rid Of the smarting of defeat,
and they are going to line up with

In order to get rid Of the Speculation
prices, it is absolutely necessary to
stop selling cotton until tho mills call
for it.
Prices have now taken turn up
ward but don't begin to turn loose
your cotton until the minimum price
aas been reached; then if prices fall
stop selling right there.
In Il private conversation between
one Of those forcgin cotton spinners
at Atlanta the manufacturer said to
the union men that in order to deal
direct with the mills that the growers
of cotton must put up a better and
safer system Of delivering cotton than
they now have through the spccula-
tors. lie mentioned the fact that he
had lost fifteen thousand dollars at
one time with New York cotton
man by trusiin" too far. So it seems
these cotton men in New York skin
the mill men now and then as we'll
rs the cotton grower
This is a sample Of common every
day cotton lie. An rX-tclegrapn op-
orator made this iatcmrnt to one Of
our men that he knows it to be Il fact
that farmers stored BOG bales Of cot
tor i'll a S. c. cotton mill warehouse
in one day TO be removed or sold by
said farmers at will; and that this
same lot of cotton was wired to New
York that night as cotton received
by that mill. Such news of cotton re-
ceived at mills when it was only stor.
ed in their warehouses, nc said was
Il common occurrence which goes a
good pace to swell the amount of cot
ton sold to mills by S. C. farmers.
This is done to swell amount sold to
the mills.

This is today, In the minds Of these men,
the best and richest territory in the United

they have chosen this rich cotton belt Of
Texas because IL offers greater induce
ments and quicker and surer profits than

ritory. II has already purchased long dis
lance telephone lines, which are constructed

First Offering of Stock in
the Southern Telephone
Electric Company.

The telephone has become one of the most
important factors in the business and social
life Of the entire world. This is especially
true Of the United States. The telephone
is constantly in demand by the people and
although furnished at a very reasonable
rental, It has been found to be a very
profitable investment. Large percentages
have been made by those holding securities
Of telephone companies.
The Southern Telephone Electric company
was organized principally to conduct a
telephone business in one of the richest
sections OF the United States, viz: The
state Of Texas, constructing and operating
both long distance and local telephone sys-
tens. The Southern Telephone Eelectric
company is not only a telephone company
Itself, but also a telephone construction
company. II will work along lines some
what similar to those employed by the
Empire Construction company Of the Pa
cihc coast. thus assuring large and con-
tinuous profits for its stockholders.
Mr.. E. L. Swaine, president, in speaking
Of the plans of operation, states as fol-
lows: The company now owns the Fort
Worth Long Distance Telephone company
ana Will soon acquire extensions for the
construction and operation of local ex
changes In number OF towns in the state
Of Texas.
The company will hold control of the
long distance lines, which will enable us
to protect the business of the local ex
changes, besides bringing a good revenue.
When local plant has been constructed
ana in operation a company will be formed
among the business men of the community
Ihey will subscribe for the stock, as It will
pay good interest on the investment, and
they will be the owners of the property in
their own town.
The Southern Telephone Electric COM
pany will receive for such plants from the
new local companies part cash and part
bonds, based on the earning power of the
companies, which cash and bonds will give
a very good profit on the work OF construc-
ton and place us in position to turn over
the funds again In another locality
the profits In the telephone business
nave proved very satisfactory, paying good
percentages on bonds and stocks, besides
enabling the companies to lay aside a fair
surplus. This refers to the operating COM
panies, from which class we expect to
secure a portion of our earnings, the
greater part to come from the profits on
construction. II is the intention to set
aside for sale only sufficient stock to pro
vide capital to carry on the work in hand,
which will enable us to pay very salts
factory dividends on the outstanding stock.
Our representative now in Texas writes
of the great possibilities there, and we are
looking forward to remarkable success"
