JONES THOUGHT
TO HAVE FLED
FROM COUNTRY
OFFICERS BELIEVE He HAS
GONE TO MEXICO
MESSAGE TO WIFE Is LOOKED
ON AS MERE RUsE
More Alleged Victims Come to Light
DefaIcations, So Far as Known
at Present Exceed
$4,000

Constable's deputies from Justice
Summerf1eld's court have practically
abandoned hope of arresting L. E
Jones of the Jones & Ryder Land com
pany, charged in numerous complaints
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. In order that more officers
might be put on the trail and advan-
tage taken of every clew to his where
abouts, another complaint against
Jones was filed in Justice Ling's court
yesterday, and deputies under Consta-
bic Frank Cochran were sent out imme-
diately to begin a search for the real
estate man.
The complaint filed yesterday by Asa
Keyes, deputy district attorney, makes
a similar charge to that contained. in
the complaints placed in the hands of
Justice SummerfieId Monday and Tues
day. The alleged victims in the last
instance are E. S. Todd and Emma
Todd, his wife, who say that January
27 they purchased a mortgage for $4,000
receiving a receipt for the money and
the usual promise to give them the
mortgage in a couple of days. They
never received it. This mortgage, Jones
said, covered the property at 33S Santa
Barbara avenue.
Wife Utterly Frustrated
It is believed Jones has fed to Mex
leo. A deputy constable, Charles Ben
jamin, remained at Jones' North Yer
mont avenue home until 2:30 o'clock
yesterday morning, hoping that the
man he was seeking would return or
telephone to his wife, who is prostrated
as result OF her husbands trouble.
Jones left home shortly after noon
Tuesday, and later telephoned his wife
he was leaving the city for Nevada at
q certain hour. AS no train left for
that state at the hour named, it is be-
lieved Jones' message was a, rusa and
that he boarded a train for San Diego.
Including the $1,000 which the Todds
say they gave to Jones, the total
amount he is thus far charged with
securing illegally is more than $4,000,
all within the past two or three
months.
other complaints have been made,
and no estimate can be placed on the
aggregate of the alleged swindles. Not
it is known that Jones was in strait
ened circumstances several weeks ago.
Three weeks ago his seven-passenger
automobile was attached by the White
garage on account of a debt of $270, and
other attachments were issued some
time before that. but no property could
be found.
The money for Jones' release after
the first warrant was issued for his ar
rest Tuesday was furnished by Mrs.
Jones, and later was attached on ac-
count of an unpaid and overdue note.

Bees in Montana.

Rocky ounta II HNSbantlman:
Only Il few weeks since we met Il
gentleman investigating conditions
with Il view to locating friend in the
bee industry. Just think of it. What
would our friends said OF us 30 years
ag" ii we hal suggested the possibility
OF tar industry of producing honey in
Montana? We We're laughed at and
deridcd for presumin" that Montana
could produce wheat, oats and pcta-
toes. but the state has become Il fruit
country. leading in big red apples,
and we are assured that honey max
ing can be achieved also ut a splendid
profit. 1t seems rs if every year
brought new discoveries and enlarged
our scope OF agriculture.

small amount Of moisture when prop
erly cared for
1t may be that good crops of alfalfa
seed may be obtained on such land.
but it SO it will probably have to be
sown in rows and cultivated. This is
one of the things to be worked out.
VINO will work it out? 1t may vet
prove to be mighty problem in dry
land farming.
Nor has anything Deen said about
the pea crop under dry land farming
conditions, for the reason that it has
been but little grown. But it will
certainly succeed if drilled in rows
and cultivated, and ve:y probably it
will succeed when soWn in the Ordi-
nary way. One strong argument in
favor Of growing it in rows will be
found in the amount of moisture thus
conserved for the next crop.
Future Production In Montana.
No state has been 50 misunderstood
with reference to it's agriculture as
Montana. This statement applies not
only to those who dwell without the
state but to the people Of Montana
themselves. They have cherished the
view that Montana was only ADAPTED
to grazing and that it could never be-
come an agricultural state in the
sense OF growing grain. But what
are the facts? Grain is now being
grown on the dry farming plan that
i'll point of yield and quality is aston
ishing the people of the state. 1t is
true. of course, that recent years
have been unusually moist. But the
experiment farms established in Mon
tana have Shown that good crops of
winter wheat may be grown in sea-
sons that are very dry.
The past season, excellent crops of
grain have been grown in many local
tiles where until recently it was
thought that grains never could be
grown without the aid OF water.
Some of these crops have yielded
enormously. G. NJ. Scdgewick of
Lloyd, near Havre, obtained 80 BUSH
els of winter wheat per acre from
l-2 acres. 5. $. 1lobson in the judi
it'll Basin threshed ~ bushels Of
winter wheat from each is acres.
The experiment station at Moccasin
in the same basin obtained SO bushels
per acre. These yields are, of course,
exceptionally large but they can be
obtained at all shows the high pro-
ducing power Of the soil.
These crops can only be produced
on the dry farming plan. The aver
age rainfall in much of the country is
about Is inches per year. On that
amount of rainfall good crops cannot
be successfully grown except through
the most careful conservation of the
moisture that falls. The land which
crops are grown must be summer
failoWed the previous year or must
be given treatment equivalent TO
summer-tallowing. Such treatment
includes the growing of any crop, as
corn, that must be cultivated during
the process of it's growth. The mois-

ture thus conserved will grow Il large
crop OF grain the following year.
This applies to various kinds of grain
as wheat, oats, barley, rye and speltz.
The bench lands are best adapted to
growing these grains in the absence
OF irrigating waters.
Ihe extent of those bench lands in
not well understood by the outside
world. 1t is not well understood by
many in Montana. The area of all
the arabic lands in Montana has been
set down at 2+,OO0,OOJ acres. The
acreage Of those lands is unquestion-
ably much larger. It is more rather
thail less than SO, OOO, 900 acres. OF
course IN all area where much of the
land Is unsurveyed, it is not possible
10 get at the facts other than in an
approximate way. There are good
reasons for believing, nevertheless.
that 2O,WO,OOO acres of arabic lands
lie within 100 miles of the Canadian
boundary between North Dakota and
the Rocky Mountains. OF this area
ABOUT 100000 acres can be put under
the ditch. The balance must be
farmed, if farmed at all, on the dry
land plan.
Thus farmed, it is my conviction
every acre of this land may be made
to produce crops. The farmer Will
not get crop every year on all the
land as he must sumlner-iallow it.
but he will get Il crop two years out
o. three If the land is carefully farm
Ell. The soil is rich in the elements
OF plant food, more especially, in the
mineral elements. 1t has great wear
ing power. Much Of it also lies beau
tl1ully. In some instances for miles
ana mites, the bench looks like a
lever plain. In other instances it is
beautifully inlulaling The subsoil
is much the same as the soil.
Ills land is owned by the govern
ment anr is open to demonstrating.
ANY person who has not yet used his
homestead right can get 100 acres of
this land for the taking, and i'm certain
areas 800 acres. 1t is one Of the al
most unexi'lainable things that peo-
pie have been going past this land for
decades in search OF homes, and have
not thought worth while to take one
OF these farms as a gift The brown
character OF the grass in autumn and
the forbfdding stories Of the unpatri-
otto and selfish ranchmen are doubt
less responsible for the results men,
toned. When this country comes To
be farmed as it may be farmed, it is
going to lead among the states in the
NAHUM production of grain.

THE SIGNAL OF PROSPERITY.

President Taft's speech ut Corpus
Christi last Friday was the most i'm.
pOrtant utterance he has made dur
ing his tour. His brief, strong, cour.
ageous stand against injustice to the
railroads is worth more to the coull.
try just now than a thousand speech
es on reforms that may or may not
be practicable. Mr.. Taft said:
81 am not in favor Of drastic leg
islatlon against railroads, eN-
cept such as is necessary to
keep them within the law and to
keep their rates reasonable. The
truth is we want to encourage
our railroads. We will rush,
10000 of us in county, vote
bonds for Il railroad, if it will only
come in. Then it comes in, and
after a time You won't find
friend of that railroad in that
county, except, perhaps, the To-
cal counsel.
IN II .ON Will PlONVNt " ItS
islate and you will do injustice to
that railroad. bnt after a while,
after YOU have done injustice to
the point where You DOM get the
proper accommodations, and where
You drive them into Il system Of
economy that does not build up
your country, You finally begin to
realize that the only good policy,
as we'll as the only honest policy,
is a square deal to the railroad,
so as to give them the rates they
ought to have ana not allow popu-
lar prejudice to deprive them of
reasonable profit on the invest
ment, including the risk that they
made when they went into the
business.
This is such a wholesale reassur-
ance to the country that it is like a
bugle blast signaling the return OF
prosperity. 1t means that the adj.
ministration recognizes that railroads
have rights. 1t means that the
"square deal' is to be observed and
enforced by Mr.. Taft and that is
all the business interests OF this
country have ever desired or asked
for.
Mr.. Taft's words mean more cars
more en- ,ines, more railroad con.
struction. They mean complete con.
tldence. causing money to come out
from its hiding place and seek profit
able enterprise. They mean the re.
doubling OF traffic and the expansion
of merchan'ilp. banking. building
and agricultural enterprises. THESE
words from Mr.. Taft are the words
which the business world wanted
There is not Il merchant. banker

benefited by them.
