Never before did hear so much favOra bic
Montana comment among tinanciers and big
investors as on this trip" said I. \. NARROW,
president Of the National Bank Of Montana,
who with Thomas b. Miller, has lust return
ed to Helena from two weeks trip to New
York, Chicago and Washington.
''The east is wild about this state. he con-
tnued, land on every hand only heard Mon
tana spoken of and it was always favorable.
The Montana sentiment Overshadows the sch
timent expressed for all the other western
states, and the immense future of the state is
talked of everyw here, and particularly among
the moneyed men who are constantly reach
ing out for new enterprises. Montana mines
also attract much attention, but it is the agri-
cultural side that is prominent
Il believe that it will be an easy matter at
the present time to secure capital for any
legitimate propositions in the state. If it will
bear scrutiny and can stand on its merits, it's
success is assured: there will be no trouble to
finance it.
'There are several reasons for this over
whelming Montana sentiment The chief
created by James J. Hill. His visit, to the
state fair here will be worth hundreds of
thousands of dollars. He has since travelled
extensively over the country and every place
has talked Montana and it's amazing prOduc-
tiveness. He has hammered this into the
ears of the big men OF the east until they
have been made to feel that for these many
years tremendous opportunity has slipped
by them. Now they want to catch it..
"Mr. Hills story has been corroborated 10y
visitors to the dry land congress at Billings.
They also have gone east shouting the praises
of the state. Men who hardly ever heard of
Montana before have become genuinely en-
thusiastic and are turning their attention this
way. The example Of these men, leaders in
the financial world, is bound to be initiated
by less prominent men.
This trip has convinced me that Montana
is on the threshold Of a new era: that in the
next five Years a bigger stream of eastern
money is going 70 pour into the state develop
ing its resources and its infant industries than
has been invested here for the past % years.
The day Of the great Montana Of the future Is
already dawnng.

hard to convince the farmer to this

to associate corn and hogs together
that many refuse to entertain any

so many uses have been developed for

the most diligent inquiry and research
for a cheaper feed for hogs has been

Montana has 80, OOO, 600 acres of arabic land
that is being brought under cultivation.
The state, for ten years past, has yielded, as
the average per acre, 1851 bushels of wheat
40 bushels oats, 1915 bushels barley.
II the Montana acreage were put into wheat,
at the average yield for the state it would
yield 500, 600, 600 bushels.
If put into oats, at the average yield for the
state, it would produce lao 900 900 bushels.
Ifput into barley, at the average yield for
the state, it would mean Il productive posi-
bility of /, 1856, OOO, 900 bushels.
If the Montana acreage put into one
grain, and the yield were great as the average
for the United States as IA whole, the produce
tive possibility would be: Wheat 414, 200, 600:
oats, 7l1,oooOOo barley, 7l+,oooOoo bushels.
The yield per acre for Montana wheat, 26.7
bushels for ten years past is the highest of
any state. 1t was twice as high as the aver
age for the entire country and far greater
than Russia or France.
The yield per acre for Montana oats is the
highest in the world, excepting only Belgium.
At ~ bushels it is more than double that of
the United States as whole.
Montana averages rs bushels of potatoes to
the acre.
Montana contains the following land area:

Wheat comes out Of the Montana soil at an
average of 26.7. Germany, Great Britain,
Belgium and Denmark exceed this, but only
in the intensively farmed European countries
is it approached. The big wheat producing
countries of the world cannot touch it. For

for nomination for mayor on the
american ticket this fall, that un-
less he and the members of the board
carried out the orders of the council
that he would appoint board that

that Mayor Bransford has been COM

for homsteading 800 acres Of non-min-
eral, non timbered and non-irrigable
public lands in what Is known as the
arid regions of the west.
The instructions covering this state

consideration provides that not exceed
ing 1000, 900 acres of land in the State

ton. however, that entrynen of such,
