UP TO DATE HoMEsEEkERs.

The Great Falls Leader editorially
tells of the most up to date homeseek-
ers, that have come to Montana this
year. Incidentally it shows how read
lily homeseekers and others who come
to Montana and especially to eastern
Montana are to realize the wonderful
opportunities offered here and the
value OF the land, which may be Sc
cured by homesteading.
Something like a week ago the
tracklayers on the Billings & North
ern went on a strike, and. the company
wired st. Paul for another crew, says
the Leader. In answer to the call a
couple Of carloads Of men were
rushed forward, passed through Great
Falls on the fly, were shunted out on
the Billings & Northern As miles,
where they secured a view of the
thousands of acres of wonderful wheat
land lying open on every hand. for the
taking, and pushed right. on out of
the ,tracklaying business into. the
hholmesseeseker class, and made for the
land Office instead Of the pay window.
AS q result eastern Montana has &C
auired over 80 bona .nde settlers al.
ready, the rest of the gang are getting
ready to lick lambs and look for land,
and the Billings & Northern coonsstr,uc-
ton is still looking for a tracklaying
crew. M
which goes to show that 20; you can't
bring intelligent men Into the country
and expect them to work for wages
when there Ire such wonderful oppor-
tunities IN every hand for the man
who desires to get the best land on
earth and grow up with the country.

REPORT ON EGYPTIAN COTTON.

NAfEL NBeR&I ew.EsE ANsNpL
Can 30 Grown in southwestern Part
Of United States.
Boston. April 17.-That Egyptian
cotton can be successfully grown in
the southwestern portion Of the
United States is the statement Of ex-
perts in attendance at the convention
Of the National Association Of Cot
ton Manufacturers, in session here to-
day. For many years attempts have
been made to introduce Egyptian cot
ton into this country, but the climate
Of the south Atlantic. and gulf states
was found unsuitable for it's culture.
Recent trials in New Mexico and Ariz-
ona have. been highly successful and it
is likely that the industry will become
firmly established in those territories.
