BIG BUSINESS
LAND Office Records
Completely Dwarf Those at
Billiags Office. Latter Con-
sidered Remarkable in Mont.

Up at 1stlinss, Montana, the people
are MAKING a great spread over the big
business which the. land Office there is
doing. They claim that more people are
going to that aactisn Of Montana than
at any time Ia .its;history, except in the
periods Immediately preceding the
opening Of the oelad portions of the
Crow r~eserxatiea and the Huntley pro-
ject.
The homesteadeEs are, coming from al
most every part Of thelUnited States. but
principally from the states, Of the middle
west. Filings at the billings land office
average about four a day, which means
that fully 100 homasteaders are entered
by actual settlers each month or 1, 200
quarter sections of land taken each year.
The business is considered quite remark
able.
A brief comparison Of Tie dllipgs at
the Billings land Office with @e number
at the Dickinson, reveals the fact that
almost every month the nsmber of orig
inal entries at the Dickinson taoiee is
considerably larger than at Billings,
while the average per month for the!
last six months is nearly double the;
monthly record at the Montana o@oe.
The entries at this season Of the year
are usually smaller in number than at
any time, so the records fall short of
what they have been in some years but
the business is so much bigger than at
Billings and SO many more filings are
Wade that the facts should be brought
to the attention of the public.
For the six months ending November
~. 4 total of 1, 179 original entries were
made, including 406 in June, 3O4 in
July, 81 in August, 10 in September.
IA in October and 1874 in November.
Every month except August shows from
10 to 306 mora entries than at the Bill
lines Office during the same time. For
the past six months, the average number
of filings per month is l96. OF nearly
double that of the Montana land Office.
The record for the year ending June 80,
1908, was 3. 1913 entries. or an average
of 316 a month, three times the Billings
record.
This will give the public some Idea of
what the Dickinson land Office repre-
serts. In the last six months nearly as
many entries have been filed here as
during the whole year in Billings.
The following business was transacted
at the local land Office during the month
Of November:

GOOD PROMOTERS.
Chsy Must Possess the Power of In
spring Confidence.

ChSy Must Possess the Power of In
spring Confidence.
A story is told about young fellow
who applied at big banking estab-
lishment for position and who upon
being told that all the clerkships were
filed said quite confidentially, I've
never worked at the promoting busi-
ness, but can't you send me to some
friend of yours who needs pro-
moterT
Strange indeed it is that almost ev-
cry one of the successful promoters of
the present day is q man who went
into the exceedingly difficult work
with scarcely more preparation than
had gone the venturesome youth of this
yarn.
Gifted with good address, control of
the English language, fluency of speech
and determination. man who en-
barks in the field has in his possession
the qualities that have made many
promoters rich and powerful. Many of
them were lawyers to begin with.
Others were life insurance agents
One or two sold stock in a small way
Gradually each of these men came to
see that carving out a new way for
himself would give him a wider and
more substantial future. And then at
that moment the promoter was born.
But whether these promoters have
won their spurs by organizing big con-
Germs or corporations or by selling
those already In the field there is not
one of them but will tell you that most
of his success was due to his power to
inspire confidence. A promoter that
can't make 1.-The other fellow believe
In him and In his proposition might
better be cleaning the streets. He
never will succeed.
The successful promoter must be
able not only to look men in the eye
but he must also be able to face the
most discouraging circumstances and
fight his way through them. Fair is
a word the meaning of which he must
never learn.
And the rewards? They range from
millions to a fee Of 81 that was once
paid to a promoter who successfully
promoted the amalgamation of two
competing bootblacking establishments.
