Roundup Given Chance to
Have Experimental
Farm Here.
STATE AND R. R. INTERESTED
Geo. 3. Haynes and Profs. Lin
field and Atkinson Present
Proposition to Citizens.

|
migration agent of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul. in company
with Profs. Linfeld and Atkinson,
of the state experimental station at
Bozeman, were in Roundup Tues
day to look over the field with
view to establishing demonstra-
tion farm in this vicinity and to in
terest the citizens of Roundup to
cooperate with the state and rail-
road company in securing and main
tanning the station. A meeting of
the commercial club was called
Tuesday in the Pioneer Hall, which
on account of the short notice given
it, was not attended as largely as
it should have been. However the
gentlemen presented their PROPOSE
ton for the consideration Of the
club, and it is hardly likely that
it will not be accepted and
carried through successfully.
Prof. Linfeld, in explaining the
matter in question, stated that at
the last legislature appropriated a
considerable sum Of money to be
used in this work, it had been de-
cided to establish about a dozen
different experimental stations in
various sections of the state. and as
this is new country fast settling
up with a class of people perhaps
not familiar with dry farming
methods, Roundup was considered
a very good location for one Of these.
The proposition in short, as pre-
sented by Prof. Linfeld is that
they are to be given the use of a
quarter section of land for term of
five years, provided with well, a
small cottage for the use of the men
employed on the farm, and fenced.
Given this the state viii equip the
farm with all necessary implements
and maintain it for five years at no
further cost to the community. The
work here would be under the sup
ervision of the head station at Boz
eman and competent men placed in
charge.
The establishing of this station
here is a matter of great importance
and Roundup cannot afford to lose
it. Both the gentlemen from the
state experimental farm are con-
fident that dry farming can be made
a success here as well as in less
favored sections. The matter of
securing the required quarter sec
ton of land it is thought will be an
easy one to dispose Of, as the Coast
Line Land Co., or some big rancher
in this vicinity will be glad to do
nate the use Of it for five years. It
will then be necessary to secure
funds to erect a cottage, machine
sheds and barn, and to provide a
we'll. As the question is Of such
vital importance to Roundup there
is no doubt but what the necessary
money for these improvements can
be raised with very little trouble.
The citizens of Roundup are given
two weeks time in which to take
up the proposition, and if they re-
fuse to take it up the proposition
will be made to some other town in
the Musselshell valley. A special
meeting of the Commercial Club
will be called in the near future to
decide on some definite line of ac-
ton.
Messrs. Haynes, Linfeld and
Atkinson made drive out north to
inspect the country Tuesday morn
ing, but on account of the snow on
the ground were unable to see very

PRESIDENT DUSTIN TO QUIT.
Said w. E. Crane of Fort Smith Will Manaae Fort Smith and Western.

Fort Smith-It is announced on good authority that w. E. Crane of Fort Smith, vice president of the Fort Smith and Western railroad, will immediately assume the duties of the president Of that road in place of President A C. Dustin Of Cleve- land
 Mir. Crane will make his headquar- ters in St. Louis, instead of Fort Smith. as formerly. It is understood that official confirmation of the ap- pointment of MT. Crane to his new duties will be sent out from the offices of President Dustin in few days.
 The change in the management of the road has been brought about by the press of business which has been put upon President Dustin by his ap pointment as receiver for the defunct municipal road Mayor Johnson's Scent line. In addition to his duties as receiver, President Dustin's large legal practice in Cleveland made it imperative upon him to turn the rail road business over to Mr. Crane.
 No other change is said to be slated in the officials The report to the effect that General Manager Bushner is to retire seems to be without foun- dation and it is understood he will remain in this position.

TO SGT lhTERURBAH LINE.
Meeting at Bentonvile Completes Plans for Line From Joplin, Mo,
 Touching Several Arkansas


 Bentonville-At a meeting of those interested in the interurban proposi- ton held here, final arrangements were made for the building of a line from Joplin. Mo. to Bentonville and 10 Springdale and Pea Ridge.
 The work of surveying the route and finally locating the line will be gin next week, and no time will be lost in pushing the matter through.
 It is the intention of the promo ters to build line from Joplin. Mo. to Bentonville, and thence to Gentry, Tontitown and Springdale, and then back to this place.
 In addition to this, it is planned to build a branch line from here to Pea Ridge
 The route over which the line will run is believed to be especially adapt ed for an interurban system. At pres ent Tontitown, the largest colony of Italians in this section of the coun- try, is without transportation facili- ties except of the most limited na- turs, and while Springdale has a line of railroad, it is believed that a con nection with other towns in this sec tion of the state will be of untold benefit

 "To the Seniate and House of Rep resentatives: The appalling calam- ity which hasA 5efallen the people of Italy is followed tby distress and suf- fering throughout wide region among many thouSands who have es- caped with life, but whose shelter and food and means of living are de stroyed.
 "The ordinary machinery for sup plying the wants of civilized commu- mites is paralyzed,. and an exception al emergency exists. which demands that the obligations of humanity shall regard TO limit of national lines
 "The immense debt of civilization to Italy; the warm and steadfast friendship between that country and our own; the affection for their native land felt by great numbers of good American citizens who are immigrants from Italy; the abundance with which God has blessed US in our safety; all those should prompt us to immediate and effective relief.
 
 nobly to the demand by contributions through the safe and efficient channel of the American Red Cross Society. Celtic and culgoa Ordered 10 Scene.
 Confident of your approval, I have ordered the government supply ships Celtic and Culgoa to the scene of dis aster, where. upon receiving the au- thority which I ask for, they will be able to dispense food. clothing and other supplies with which they are laden, to the value of about s309,000.
 "The Celtic has already sailed and the Culgoa is at Port Said Eight yes. sels of the returning battleship fleet are already under orders for Italian waters, and that government has been asked if their services can be made useful.
 q recommend that the congress ap- prove the application of supplies above indicated, and further appropri- ate the sum of s500,000 to be applied to the work of relief at the discretion of the executive and consent of the Italian government.
 'I suggest that the law follow the form of that passed after the Mount Pelee disaster in 1902.

Messina ard Reggie Will Be Rebuilt.

Romes1Ikaly-Messina and Reggie will be rebuilt This is the message brought to Rome Monday by Cardinal Maya, Archbishop of Catania, who ar rived from Messina.
 "The destruction of these cities" said the Archbishop. "is just as com pIete as the most extravagant stories have pictured. but the commercial ad- vantage of their sites is such ;hat they must be rebuilt
 ''It will take a generation for these cities to recover and it will be a quar- ter of century before Messina's glory is restored. There is absolutely no thought among the more prominent citizens of Messina and Reggie to abandon the towns. Many of the smaller towns, however, will not be rebuilt Some of these are literally plotted out and as their sites had no peculiar advantage, it would be cheap CT and easier for the people to estab- fish other towns"
