the value at which 100 acres of this
dry farm land is held.
From Culbertson northward to
Medicine Lake, 25 miles, the bench
land is settled until i, reminds one of
prosperous farmi, g regions of the
middle western states. This is the
result of two years development.

OAK at the eastern edge of Montana
is becoming an important grain ship
ping point. L. r. Forbes is one of
the enthusiastic believers in dry
farming principles at Mondak. He
says deep blowing and constant cul-

He plows eight and ten inches. He
has had remarkable success with po-
tatoes as we'll as with grain. This

I retorted some acrimonious Bill was

1t was. but that makes no difference
now.
The room was full of the boys,

When Bill and stepped back and
dropped our lands to our guns. they
oil respected our feelings and acted
according. Dutch and Pete Topped
to the door behind the bar. Seven or
eight OF the boys broke for the safe.
Now, make no mistake-but you
Won't, because you knew those boys.
They wasn't afraid; you couldn't

he thought he had to shoot, and under
those circumstances Bill shot straight

So ! decided the only thing that
would leave me behind to herd the
elusive maverick and eat the base

would have ported me, but just before
I blew up a voice at the saloon door
said: "Hello!" soft and sweet, and
"retardo" on the 80"

The NEN TARIFF BILL
Was Signed BY President Taft Thurs
DAY Night And Became A Law.
NOT A PERFECT MEASURE
Says President Taft, But its Provisions In a
Measure RedeemS Party Pledges.

The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, which
has occupied the attention of congress
for months, was passed Thursday last
and received the signature of the presi-
dent. On signing the bill, President
Taft gave out the following statement
embodying his views on the new tart fl
measure He declared that while the
bill is not perfect by any means, nor "a
complete compliance with promises
made. strictly interpreted" it is
nevertheless, sincere effort on the part
of the party to make a downward re-
revision and to comply with the prom
ises of the platform.
Il have signed the Payne tariff bill
because believe it to be the result of a
sincere effort on the part Of the Rerub
lican party to make downward revision
and to comply with the promises of the
platform rs they have been generally
understood and as l interpreted them
in the campaign before election.
