A year ago the property owners OF Redman Ave pettoned the city council Tor a
walk The order was made and most of the walks put down in July and August. In
to get a good grade it WASH necessary to sink the walk from ! to- feet The man
living N the corner has influence and refuses to put down his walk, making an ex

suggest o the what canwedo' counclmen that if they cantcompel the walk put
down they can at least r@gn and not have their names associated with this scandal

to guarantee five year contracts on
5000 acres of beets. Past experiments
prove that the farmer should average
a net profit of $40 an acre on sugar
beets.
1t Is probable that the Sun river val
ley will prove an excellent dairy coun-
try. A creamery was completed in Au-
gusta in January, 1907, and the three
or four others already In operation in
neighboring towns show that the in
dustry is profitable and will be perma-
nent and growing. Four and third
million pounds of butter are now i'm
ported annually from other states
This means that over S1,000000 ought
to be kept in Montana each year for
butter.

THE LAND IS FINE
Excellent Farms to be Had in Sun
River Valley Where Hundreds
Are FIOcking.
FERTILE REGION IN MONTANA
Soil is Capable of Yielding Big Crops
of Wheat, Oats, Sugar Beets and
Other Products.

One OF Montana's most beautiful
agricultural valleys is now the scene
of unusual activity, as hundreds of
home seekers from all parts of the
United States are going there to take
up their new homes.
The Sun river valley, which is a lit
tie west of the center of the state, on
the eastern slope of the Rocky noun
tains and near the city of Great Falls,
was selected several years ago by the
reclamation service as a choice area
for the construction of n stupendouS
irrigation work. The work has pro-
crossed rapidly, and several farms
have been thrown open to settlers on
liberal terms.
These farms will be obtainable I'M
der the homestead law subject to the
charges OF actual cost of water upon
the number of acres actually supplied
with water from the system. This
charge has been fixed at $50 an acre,
divided into not less than five nor
more than ten annual payments. says
Washington correspondent of the
Chicago News. The sum of $3.50 will
be due and payable at the time of
making entry. The second installment
| will be payable March 1, 1910. thus
allowing early settlers nearly two
years before second payment is due.
] In this period any Industrious settler
| can get his land into shape to earn its
| own repayment of the charges.
| An Interesting and unique feature in
| connection with the project is the pro,
| posed establishment of model rura
| villages every six miles. In all there
| will be twenty of these, so that nc
farm viii be more than three miles
| from a postoiiice and school.

northern countries can be raised ii

alfalfa. sugar beets and potatoes Usu
ally three cuttings of alfalfa are made
annually. Some have cut only tive
crops. and others have cut four. bu
the average is three and the average
yield about five tons an acre. TIL
present price varies from So to SIS
ton in the stack, according to location
and demand. 1t is not probable tina
the average price will drop below S
for many years. The cost of puttin
the hay into the stack is about S1.25

The average yields an acre are: Pc
tatoes, 22S bushels; wheat, 2S bushels

BATTLER MADE GOOD


On account of Cans former
shadey reputation there is apt to be
suspicious of fake in his being
knocked out in the seventeenth
round Saturday by Battling Nelson.
Reports from the ringside, however,
show the Battler boring in after his
usual fashion in spite of the mem
ory of the terrible beating he got
from Cans two years ago, will bull
dog determination to win. He
weakened the black with body
blows which may indicate that Joe
has gone the easy route since max
ing the first big money of his life
by getting the former decision.
Both men were badly punished Sa-
turday but the Nelson finish was
strong while the champion was al
most out long before the finish
Nelson won a fortune, as he got
the long end of $4,000 house
purse and took all the bets at 10
to against himself that he could
carry.
