Over IN Butte, according to an ex-
change, the moon was blue the other

stand for red moon, a green one,
or almost any other color-but not
for a At of the blues. That's the
limit Of dependency. If luna has an
other such attack as that, it should
be given a tonic.

That the action Of the American

CLIMATE AND lMMlGRATIoN.s

Nothing, perhaps, ADVERTISERS q COM
munity like a good climate.
Montana in general and Billings in
particular, in suffering from an an-
tequated system of observation that
is a positive detriment.
At the present time the tempera-
ture of this state, is furnished from
Havre. Now, 1T is well known that
Havre is in cold storage the greater
part OF the time, and to lnflict on the
balance Of the state, the re7orts from
that office, is manifestly unfair.
The climate Of the state compares
favorably with that Of any other sec
ton Of the union. The weather OF
Billings and vicinity is equable. The
temperature is as even, perhaps, as
may be found in any other portion of
the northwest. The days are never
excessively hot in the summer time
the winter months are mild, and ac-
tual cold weather, as it is known in.
Minnesota and the DaKotas, for ex-
ample is unknown.
The government has set out to.
keep the country informed is to the.
temperature in the widely separated
portions of the union, and when 1t in
flicts the record Of one section, upon
that Of another, where the conditions
that obtain, dramatically, are totally
different, an act Of injustice is per-
petrated-unknowingly perhaps, but
an act Of injustice Just the same.
No provision has been made to
maintain at this point a salaried OBJ
server. The service depends, for the
time being, upon voluntary efforts.
Billings has a future-and a great
one. It is just crossing the threshold
to a greater destiny. Every advantage
must be taken, IN these days Of ad-
vertising progress, Of each and every
point. For towns compete
with each other in the eyes Of the
world, Just as do private business in
terests.
The greatest factor in behalf Of
Billings and vicinity is its incompar-
able weather,
Because government red tape
makes Impossible at the present time
the establishment OF a paid weather
bureau here, Is nj al why the
city and the surrounding community
should suffer.
We owe it to ourselves as a duty
we cannot shrik, to see to it that
these observations are made daily,
and faithfully recorded, persistently
published and widely distributed.
In order to accomplish this some
public spirited person should volun-
teer his service. All the instruments
will be furnished by the department.
The actual work required will 0 n
sumo less than five minutes OF time
each day.
A complete record Of the tempera-
ture Of Billings will do more to pro-
mote immigration and to settle up
the country, perhaps-than any other
one thing that may be suggested.
Who will volunteer?

WHY LAND VALUES INCREASE.

Land values are increasing. This
is the result, partially, of education,
of agitation. If you please. and in q
measure from necessity.
The overcrowded cities, and the
consequent unhealthy conditions that
obtain, have agitated the people for
the past two decades.
"A few years ago, out Of the west,
came the stories Of great wealth, not
from the mines but from the fertile
uplands, where, cooperating with
science. a new race OF husbandmen
have developed. He differs from the
man in the east, in that he is not
content to wait and trust to provi-
dence--he studies conditions, and BY
observation, ascertains the particular
crop most desired
The result has been the flooding OF
the east with apples and peaches,
grapes, plums, pears, berries, cante
loupes and the like, that have caused
the fruit of the older agricultural sec.
lions to be almost despised.
The farmer along the Atlantic sea
board, has watched with chagrin the
unloading of almost countless thous-
ands of fruit ladened express cars,
the contents Of which brought higher
prices than he could possibly obtain.
He has seen apples sell for from Is
to IS cents ,each-whereas In many
cases he was only obtaining 81 q.
barrel for his product. He has been
forced to admit that the western fruit
is better than his. He has been COM
PEELED to acknowledge that the q
who a command such prices Is IN q
fair way to gain nor wealth in a
decade than he can possibly accumu-
late in a life time Of labor.
He has investigated. He has ira
veled in the west, and has had his
eyes opened.
And the magic Of it all is sounded
in a single word-irrigation.
Private and publicly projected en-
terprises have transformed the coun-
try.
Then Game the ever recurring ques-
what Of the markets there
not danger Of o~verstocking It?
That question is answered by the
that, Notwithstanding the
enormous increase in the production
and development Of the finer varieties
If fruits In the west, the demand has
increased to such an extent that the
price have more than doubled in the
past few years, and crops are con.
for a year In advance. the

cannot get q greater supply.
The American farmer is coming

the United States wake up hungry
