An Expert Opinion g Montana.

Hon. William Lindsay, one of
the largest flockmasters and
most progressive. men in the
state, in recent interview said:
Eastern Montana IS rapidly
coming into its Own, It is no
longer a sparsely settled country.
Diversified farming. modern and
up to date methods and progress
sive settlers are bringing the
country to the front. Our re-
sources are beginning to be de-
veloped; new industries started,
and old time cow towns are be-
coming thriving little cities. This
year has unquestionably been one
Of ,',e best ever enjoyed and all
indications are that next year
will be even better. Dry land
farming is proving of incalculable
benefit and hundreds of ,,ew set
tiers are coming in from the east.
Dry land farming is now beyond
the experimental stage and thous-
ands Of acres of rich table land
are being cultivated. Many of
the farms have been in existence
three years and good crops have
been secured without irrigation.
These lands are seemingly more
fertile than the bottom lands
which have been farmed for
years. The future looks bright
and it should not be many years
before Montana has as large a
population as many of the middle
western states. Terry Tribune.

A Busy Week in WibagX.

The first week of spring has
been an exceedingly busy one in
Wibaux. Many emigrants have
arrived dnring the past week
and several emigrant cars are
now en- route to this place from
different points throughout the
east. Most of the farmers who
arrived here early this spring are
now comfortably located on their
claims, and have begun plowing
for the spring crop. With the
number Of horseless plows now
in the valley and others being
shipped in, it is safe to say that
our range will no longer be visit
ed by its vast prairie fires.
Not less than sixteen home
stead filings have been made dur
ing the past week, and this is
just a fair average in comparison
with the business done hereto
fore. And at this rate, judging
the future by the past, its just a
matter of a short time when this
section will all be under the plow
and the valley populated with
prosperous farmers.
The people living on farms in
the east are beginning to learn of
the great opportunities which are
offered in the west, and realize
the fact that the first one who
comes will be the first one serv-
led, consequently the emigration
to this section is great.
Among those who arrived this
week are as follows: Messrs. A.
Cesina Of Alma Centre, wis, c.
I. Cook and Petra Christianson Of
Etterick, Wis.,; and Mckenzie,
Lyman, Mcconnell, Shotwell,
Straley, Smith, Sherwood, Paul
son, Anderson and Haines, all of
Sioux Falls, S. D. and western
Iowa.

which is far above anything like tro-
pical heat.
Moanalua is another feature of Ho-
nolulu suburbs. 1t is a private pro-
perty, being owned by Hon. S. M.
Damon, but it is managed with remark
ably literal recognition of public inter
est in it's beauties, and is freely open
ed to visitors. In this estate, the
cultivation of both tropical and 9th
er flora has been more carefully and
scientifically studied and carried out
than anywhere else in the islands
The result is a most beautiful gar
den. Some of it is quite a resort at
times for the soldiers at Fort Shat
ter, the Honolulu military post.
Fort Shafter is on the slopes of
the mountains back of Honolulu. It
is a comparatively new military post
and is about to be doubled.
Nearer to Honolulu than any of
these places already mentioned is
Waikiki beach, which is described on
globe-trotter authority, as the finest
bathing beach in the world. At all
times, Waikiki beach attracts the
bather From January to December
the ocean water is never uncomfor-
tably cool, and there is no month in
the twelve when during moonlight
nights, swimming in the ocean is not
a pleasure. The charm of night
bathing, under a clear moon, is not
to be forgotten by those who have
known it, The coast along Waikiki
is mostly taken up by private homes,
some of them being the finest places
i'll or near the city.
Farther along the beach from Ho-
nolulu beyond Waikiki are a reef and
a very picturesque shore line. Al
many places along this shore there
is excellent fishing.
Another of the country trips from
Honolulu is the round the island
trip, For automobiles, the road is a
good one most of the way and the
trip may be made easily in a day
with a comfortable stop for lunch
and bathing on the other side of the
island, where the Haleiwa hotel has
fine accommodations.
Diamond Head, just beyond Wal
kiki from Honolulu, is another point
all should visit Those who are dis
posed to essay bit of climbing will
find it worth while to scale Diamond
Heads sides, look down into its Ions
extinct crater-bottom, and enjoy tn,
wide view of island scenery from
Koko Head to far beyond the nov
famous Pearl Lochs, including all O
the city of Honolulu and a good dea
of some of the best adjoining suga
plantation lands.

The school system of Hawaii as
organized throughout the group and
developed to a status Of splendid eff
cheney, is in very learge measure in
deed product of the executive ability
and pedagogic knowledge and skill
of the late "A. T. Atkinson, the first
Territorial Superintendent of Public
Instruction and for many years con-
nected with the old island school sys-
tenn. Probably the most striking and
interesting description of the island
school system and it's peculiar prob
lens, from the point of view long
held by the island authorities, is con-
tanned in an article by Professor NJ
Nj. Scott, head of the Honolulu High
School, in the annual report of Gov
ernor Carter for 1905. AS a contri-
button to the present day discussion
of race questions, Professor Scott's
article Is a very important one and

have noted and regretted this state
Of affairs, and they characterize it as
one of the darkest spots>1n the other

will constitute one of the chief sour
ces of unrest and future trouble for
England in her vast vice-regal em-
pire.
THE dominant note in the sociolo-
gical and educational problems of the
Territory of Hawaii-in short, in her
civilization-is and has been since
the arrival of the first missionaries,
American. During the monarchy the
churches, schools, business methods,
social usages, even the political con-
ditions, were American. American
national holidays, especially the
Fourth Of July and Washington's
Birthday, we're celebrated as regular
ly and with as much enthusiasm as
in Boston or San Francisco.
I'm visiting Honolulu European ira
Velers who expected to find a sleepy
dirty South American town were sur
prised and pleased to observe a bustl-
ing American city in the Tropics.
Even if a monarchy, the prevailing

manners prevailed.

THE CITY OF

of scores of varieties are among the
most striking and beautiful of these
growths. A few striking landmarks
may be recognized from far out at
sea. Among these is Punchbowl, very
plainly designated on the map shown
on pages 14-15. Using the map, the
course of the city, and its principal
localities, may be easily traced from
Punchbowl. Punchbowl is an extinct
volcano, like Diamond Head. Not
within the period of history nor with
in the ancient periods covered by the
traditions of the oldest native songs,
has there been any volcanic activity
on this island, and geological experts
have placed the death of the fires OF
Diamond Head and Punchbowl so far
back that their numbering of years
runs into seven figures and becomes
to the ordinary mortal almost mean
ingless.
Within easy reach of Honolulu are
drives, scenic resorts, picnic grounds
and places for the pedestrian, the
driver, or the automObilist, which are
full of attraction. The best known
is the Pail, about six miles from the
Honolulu Postoffice. The road all the
way to the Pail is a fine specimen
of modern macadam. Pail" is the
Hawaiian word for precipice. On
reaching the Pail, ono very suddenly
stumbles upon a bit of scenery that is
world famous. The mountain chain
which crosses the island suddenly
breaks at this point, and from its
broken side one looks over a lOwland
plain, upon a wonderfully striking
scene. The plain is trOpically green
and fertile, the landscape is almost
thrilling in its outlines, and the Paci-
fic Ocean forms a horizon full OF
charm The Pail has a historic signi'
fleance, in that it was the scene of
the close of the last battle fought
among Hawaiians before Kamehame-
ha the Great established his ruler
ship over the island group. He drove
his enemy up Nuuanu valley, and
many met death, according to his
toric accounts, by being driven over
the Pail.
Tantalus mountain is another drive
or walk. which no visitor to Homo
lulu should miss. In the opinion OF
some, the scene from heights of Tan
talus is more delightful to the eye
than that from the Pail. There is
both a driveway and a trail up this
mountain, and its higher points give
a view, from Diamond Head far be
yCnd Pearl Harbor, which is very
striking. Many Honolulu citizens
have homes, or resorts, on the sum
nit of Tantalus, where vacation in
tervals are spent at an elevation
