To the Rancher Of Meaeher Co.

The County Commissioners having
appropriated money to exploit the re-
sources of the county, now ask the
assistance of the people to procure
samples of the best of everything
grown for the purpose of State Fair
exhibit, also for the Exhibition Car
which the G. M. & P. S. R'y. proposes
to take through the country.
Nothing advertises country like
the actual products, and no county in
the state can show better grains and
grasses than Meagher This has been
demonstrated by the blue ribbons we
have taken whenever we have exhib-
tied at State Fairs. Let each indi-
vidual rancher donate a little time
and trouble in securing samples OF
the best of everything he raises for
the Fair and we will have an exhibit
which we may we'll be proud of and
which will attract the attention of
the homeseeker and the capitalist.
Now is the time to select samples
of Alfalfa. All samples should be
about six inches in diameter, tied
with four strings and hung heads
down in cool dry place, protected
from strong sunlight and mice.
These will be gathered later in the
season without cost to the grower.
After the State Fair the best of our
exhibit will be shipped to the Omaha
Corn Exposition. Let each ranch
man, gardener and miner do his best
to show what our county can produce
G. w. Cook, Director.

NEW FOLDER
Northern Pacific Issnes Attractive Fold
or About Irrigation
Congress.

We are in receipt of copy of a
very attractive folder, hands )mely
printed in colors, from the General
Passenger Department of the North
ero Pacific Railway at St. Paul, ex-
plotting the Seventeenth National
Irrigation Congress, to be held in
Spokane, August 9-13, 1909.
The cover, in colors, is a reproduc-
tion Of a photograph depicting the
effects or irrigation in one of the
many fertile valleys of the Northwest
which the Northern Pacific traverses.
Half tones from photographs, liberal
y sprinkled throughout the pubica-
tion, show the benefits of irrigation,
and it is sufficient to examine these
pictures, without perusing the text,
to form a good idea of what irriga-
tiOn means in the arid sections of the
country.
The city of Spokane is pleasingly
illustrated and described and con-
venient list of hotels and lodging
houses in that city is included. A
map of the territory adjacent to Spo-
kane is shown, together with a map
OF the entire Northern Pacific sys-
tenn and it's relation to the sections
in which irrigation projects are either
in active operation, or contemplated
The excellent facilities afforded nv
the Northern Pacific for reaching
Spokane are tittingly described, and a
roster of representatives, through
whom train accommodations can be
secured is Shown.
Copies OF the folder may be obtain
ed, without charge, by addressing A.
M. Cleland, General Passenger Agent,

H0MESTEADERS
MAY SELL
Their Claims Before They Have
Their Patents No Decision
to the Contrary.

| There has been an erroneous impress
sion among large number of set tiers
that it was unlawful for homesteaders,
who have their final receipts but
not their patents, from giving deed
to, or by inference, mortgaging, their
claims. This repor, has been spread
by articles published in this cection
and il two papers of Fergus County
to the effect that, The supreme
Court of the United States had hand
ed down a decision declearing the
practic of mortgaging homesteads
before patents we're issued to be
unlawful. The report created consider
able uneasiness among the settlers in
this section. and numerous inqires
came into the land oTics and to the
loan companies.
Such a decision would have worked
much inconvenience and hardships
among the homesteaders here, as a
great many depend upon raising
money for needed improvements after
getting their final receipt, by selling
a portion of their claim or mOrtgaging
it.
There has been no such decision
rendered in the Supreme Court how
ever and the law has not been chang
ed In order that he might satisfy
himself and advise his customers,
Assistant Cashier Fl. Yeager of the
First National Bank of Lewistown
wrote to their attorneys in Washing
ton about the matter and the follow
ing letter was returned:
July 8, 1909
Mr. H. Yeager, Assistant Cashier
First National Bank, Lewistown,
Mont ....
Dear Sir: ,., cd.
We duly received your favor of the
2Sth. ult. and referred same to our at
torneys who look after land office
matters for US, and they write us as
follows in regard to the inquiry you
make:
Upon inquiry at the office of the
Clerk of the Supreme Court of the
United States, we are informed that
they know of no decision rendered by
the Court covering the points refer
red to in said letter. 1t seems that
in some way or another, some of the
western papers published state
ment to the effect that a decision of
that character had been handed down
and numerous inquiries have been
made at the Clerks office with re-
spect to same. The answer has been
made to each of such inquiries that
the Clerks Office know of no decision
or opinion of that nature
Awaiting your further pleasure,
we beg to remain,
Very truly yours,
A. S. PRATT & SONS.

THROUGH TRAIN SERVICE
Calkins Says Passenger Trains Will run
From St. Paul to Seattle
in Thirty Days.

For some time there has been a
great deal of uncertainty as to the
time the through trains will be runn-
ing to the coast This speculation
has been set at rest by the announce
ment of Traffic Manager Calkins who
is now in Seattle to the effect that
through trains would be running in
thirty days. This step is taken to
grab some Of the passenger traffic to
the Seattle Fair.
Regular train service between
Butte and the Flathead and Bitter
Root districts will begin Sunday to
handle traffic incident to the open
ings of the reservations. Trains will
leave Butte daily at l30 in the morn
ing reaching Missoula at p. m.
Alberton at 3:20 p. m. and Butte at
10 p. m.
There is gap of about l27 miles
between Alberton and st. Joe, Idaho
that to be filled before regular passen-
ger service can be had. The work is
causing the present delay. The
superintendants all say that passenger
traffic is increasing rapidly but that
the big rush will begin about the
middle of August.

DEVELOPMENT WORK
Aberdeen Syndicate Will Start De-
monstration Farm on fitz.
patrick Ranch.

The Aberdeen syndicate that has
recently taken over the Fitzpatrick
ranch will start a unique policy in
the sale of the ranch lands. The
company plans on establishing de-
monstration farm of about I6O acres,
and will put an experienced man in
charge. 1t is proposed to demon
strate on the track selected the grain
raising properties of the sell on the
ranch, and to grow different grains
and vegetables. Prospective buyers
coming here to look over the ranch
will be given an opportunity to see
what can actually be done on the
bench lands of this section. Messrs
Weaver OF Madison, Wisconsin and
Harris of Aberdeen, South Dakota,
who were here the fore part of the
week, and who are heavy stockholders
in the Aberdeen company believe
that much more can be accomplished
by giving practical demonstrations
than bp talking theory, and stating
what can be done without any ade-
quate proof.
The new company will be known as
the Musselshell Development Com
pany. 1t is to be capitalized at $780,
600. The stockholders are all wealthy
and responsible parties, and have the
capital to carry out the scheme. Mr..
Weaver will represent the company
in Madison, and will endeavor to
hustle buyers from that state. The
company expects to send a live repre-
sentative here to look after their in
terests at this end. Before leaving
Mr.. Weaver announced that settlers
would be living on the ranch before
the snow flies.
