BUSINESS BRISK A1 LAND 0tf|Q
Entries Under Enlarged Home.
stead Law-Contests-
Timber Sale.

The past week has been a very
busy one at the local land office,
and the record for September will
show that the Lewistown office is
about the most important land Office
in the state. The throwing open to
entry under the enlarged homestead
law of large tract Of fine land in
the district northeast Of Stanford
has brought in considerable num-
Der of entries in addition to the u.s.
ual run of homestead and desert
filings.
During the week there have been
hearings in a number of contest
cases, the one in which the most
interest was taken being tn t
brought by Attorney J. J. Jewell, OF
Hobson, against the desert entry of
Mae Rooney, deceased, and Frank
P. Rooney as guardian. The con-
test is based on the claim that the
land, which is located near Hobson,
isnon-desert in character. Mr.Jewell
and f. G. Worden appeared for the
contestant and Edward Brassey and
David Hilger for claimant. An i'm
mense amount Of testimony was
taken and it was Of very conflict
ing nature. Considerable feeling
appeared to have been aroused over
this case, which was submitted.
The case of Frank Carpenter
against NJ. Chandler, involving a
homestead entry on the in the
Musselshell section, came on for
hearing Monday. In this case both
parties claimed prior right of entry.
A motion to dismiss the contest
was sustained by the office.
A similar motion was sustained
in the case of Peter Cunningham
against H. NJ. Harris, involving a
desert entry. The contest was based
on the ground that the land was
non.desert in character.
The case of John SWAMI against
L. w. Peck was heard and submit
ted. This involves a homestead
entry in township 13 north OF range
IA east. The contest is based or
the ground that the claimant hat
not made the expenditures required
by law.

6Ov. NORRIS Is 1 b061tR

Governor Edwin L. Norris is in re.
ceipt of telegram from a New
York newspaper asking his views as
to the recent statement of James j.
Hill that the United States would
soon become a wheat importing ma

the bankers convention in Chicago
by the railroad magnate. The tele-
graphic correspondence, viii c h
shows that Governor Norris has no
such belief respecting Montana. at
least, is as follows:
Conditions in Montana do not
indicate that the production Of
agricultural products will soon be
less than the demand for home con-
sumption of the nation. Rapid
settlement and more extensive cul-
tivation of agricultural land in Mon

Two Pedestrians Make Philadel.
phia to Seattle in 131 Days.


Walter Chaffee and Charles Kahn
two young men who will be remem.
bered as having past through
Roundup during the passed sum-
mer on their way from Philadelphia
to Seattle, have arrived safely at
their destination, according to the
Post.Intelligencer, and have pulled
down the wager of $1,000 each
which was made in Quakertown
that they could walk the distance
between the two places between
May l8 and Oct. l. The wager
allowed them 1877 days to make the
trip and they made it in 131.
Kahn wore three pairs Of shoes
and Chaffee two. A pair of half
soles with hob nails lasted them
about 12 days. OF the entire l31
days it rained 80 days making the
walk at those times practically inn
possible.
The best walking the two young
men did was in Iowa, where they
say one day they made so miles.
From Roundup to Butte they made
40 miles a day. They averaged q
miles a day on the entire trip.

RtAT TRIBUTE 10 THIS 5TATt
Leading Agricultural Authority Of
Nation Talks on the Trea.
sure State.

Never in it's history has Montana
achieved more compliments from
trustworthy sources respecting it's
agricultural and horticultural e.
sources than this year as result Of
the displays at the seventh Montana
State Fair. And no more glowing
tribute has been paid than that of
Prof. Thomas Shaw of the Universi-
ty of Minnesota, who perhaps stands
without peer as an agricultural
authority in the Uuited States. Mr..
Shaw is known as the right hand
man" Of James J. Hill, chairman
of the board of directors Of the Great
Northern system. and who is beyond
question the greatest enthusiast on
the subject in the entire country.
To Mr.. Shaw the railroad magnate
has entrusted entire charge of the
National Corn exposition in Omaha
next month, so far as the connec-
ton of the railroad Herewith goes.
In verbal reply to Mr.. Hill in
the directors room at the fair
grounds, Mr.. Shaw said: Il have
been in Montana not a little during
the last two years, watching develop
ments particularly grain raising, by
both irrigation and dry farming
methods. l have just completed a
through inspection Of the exhibits
in the main hall over there and
paid critical attention to the crops
and vegetables.
This is the first opportunity l
have had to see a collective exhibit
in Montana, and after going over it
carefully, l am Of the opinion there
is only one place on the American
continent that could raise crops
anywhere near approaching in quail
ity those exhibits l have seen today.
This is the province of Ontario. Un-
quali6edly the crops Of Ontario are
lacking in the superior quality oi
the Montana products. and they
are produced too, by farmers OF
many years. experience and under
conditions of the very highest class
of cultivation, which of course, Mon
tana farmers up to this time have
made no pretense Of doing.
But the Montana farmer is rap.
idly improving his method of cul-
ture, and in the not far distant fu-
ture we may expect an even finer
display than this, although the
limit already would seem to have
been reached"
That Mr.. Hill was pleased with
the glowing statement of his expert
isputting it mildly. That Montans
will receive vast benefits in the form
of the advertising of these facts BY
the publicity department of Mr.
Hills system cannot be gainsaid
Once this knowlegde becomes gen
eral in the eastern and central west
ern states it will doubtless prove
a magnet of sufficient power to re
suit in the attracting of settlers a,
an even greater rate than at pre-
sent

TRYING TO Get
MAIL CONTRACT
Milwaukee Will ATTEMPT
to Cut Time of Great
Northern
new TRAIN STARTS OCT. II
Operation of Mail Train to Be
Dead Loss Financially
to Begin With.

1t is reported that the Chicago,
Milwaukee & Puget Sound will in
augurate to the Pacific coast on
October 14th, mail train which
will attempt to cut by about two
hours the schedule which was es-
tablished couple of days ago by
the Great Northern. Rumor has it
as we'll, that the Northern Pacific is
figuring on schedule which not on
lyprovides for considerable improve
ment in passenger service, but looks
forward to a possible bid for the
mail business to the coast, in which
event there will be as interesting a
three-cornered fight as has been
witnessed in the history of the
northwest.
The so-called contract for carry.
ing the mails to the coast does not
expire until spring. 1t is now held
by the Great Northern. Officials,
of the Milwaukee road will not say
that they are going after the mail
business, but it is. well known
fact in railroad circles that they are
not going to leave stone unturned
to get it. 1t is stated officially that
it is not expected to run through
passenger trains along the extension
until next year. But the so-called
contract expires in the spring. and
Milwaukee officials would have to
submit more than a mere schedule
to the postofiice department to show
that it could guarantee better SER
vice than the Great Northern.
The purpose of putting in mail
train this month would be to oper-
ate it all winter and then submit
the record of the train to the post
office department. If the Milwaukee
train had a better record to show
than the Great Northern for the
period it is foregone conclusion
that the Milwaukee would have the
business. The Milwaukee has the
advantage Of the Great Northern in
regard to distance, but that is more
than offset by the superior condi-
ton OF the roadbed Of the Hill road.
There is great deal Of speculation
in railroad circles as to what the
comparative performance will be on
a new track.
It is not expected that the North
ern Pacific will make any effort to
get the mail business that goes to
Seattle, but it undoubtedly will be
in the field for hauling the mails to
Portland, Spokane and several
other important points. That the
Northern Pacific is planning to
make some changes in it's passenger
service is known, but as to what it
proposes to do in bidding for the
mail business is vaguely limited at
which leads many to believe that it
is going to spring surprise.
The operation of the mail train
by the Milwaukee during the win
ter would be dead loss financially
for that period. 1t would simply
handle the local mail, but it would
establish the record on which fu-
ture revenue would be derived.

w0Ol6R0WtR5 End SESSION
Senator Carter Discusses Wool
Tariff at Annual Convention Of
Montana Flockmasters.

Helena, Sept. 29.-The feature of
the final session of the third an
nual meeting Of the Montana Wool
growers association was the address
of Senator Thomas H. Carter. The
speaker discussed first the tariff bill
passed by the last congress as it af-
fected the western woolgrowers and
then pointed out why it was the
part of wisdom to maintain tariff
on wool. The United States, he
said, consumed 400, 900 900 pounds
of wool and raised 31O,OOO,OOO
pounds. Sheep are splendid as
set or a liability, he continued, and
then pointed out that if the tariff
on wool were taken off it would
destroy the business and render the
flock a liability. The sheepmen
would retire from business, selling
their bands for mutton. There
would be feast and then famine.
With the disappearance of the flocks
the 81 10000 pounds of wool this
country raises would disappear and
then the foreign sheepman would
come and sell his wool at his own
price. The supply Of meat would
be decreased and the inevitable con-
sequence would be that not only
would the wageworker pay more for
his clothing, but his meat would
be scarcer.
He urged the sheepgrowers to
have decent regard for the inter
ests of the struggling settler and not
go to his fence and eat him out.
On the matter of profit alone, leav-
ing aside the moral obligation, it
behooves the flockmaster to regard
the rights of the settler, he declared.
In closing, he urged the sheep
men not to lack pride, but to take
an interest in the state fair and in
everything which affected the state.
He called attention to the fact that
one of the first things President
Taft asked about the fair was the
exhibit OF the flockmasters and
he was forced to acknowledge that
they did not have comprehensive

LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.


FRosTBURG, Mp, July II, 1909.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
To the people who do the voting and
electing the question as to where their
money shall be kept is a matter of
secondary consideration so long as the
institution is regarded as safe and sound.
But the man who is to be trusted with
the handling of the mOney-the man
who is to account for its incoming and
out going, is the one on whom all eyes
are focused They want to see in him
integrity, intelligence and clear knOwl-
edge of the duties required of him.
Furthermore, they will feel safest when
they know that such an important of
fetal has support of the very highest
order behind him.
For the important office of County
Treasurer John l.. Wellington more
than measures up to the above-men-
toned conditions, and from present in
dications there seems to be a settled con-
viction that he will fill the bill to the
letter. From all sides one can hear
utterances of approval of his candidacy
for the office.
And fortunately for him and the pco-
Pile he has the training that fits HIM for
any position carrying great financial in
terests, which cannot be said of all who
aspire to county offices.
Recent happenings here and ill Balti
more will surely cause the people to
look little deeper into the capabilities
of those who wish to fill the important
positions in county and city affairs.
Good, clean, capable officials are wanted,
and there is well.founded conviction
abroad that the people will make no
mistake i'll giving their votes to this
young son of Allegany.
What is said of Wellington can be
stated also of Hugh Speir, candidate for
Sheriff. He is popular with the people,
successful in business. a busy, hustling
all-round good fellow, who can be de-
pended upon to handle the affairs of the
Sheritf's office with fidelity and honor.
Another popular candidate is Lloyd
burst, one of our incumbent Commits
sioners. Little need be said of him.
His work speaks for him.
Here are three men who will certainly
add strength to the republican ticket
three busy men, capable men, honest
men. Voters of Allegany county, you
will take no chances whatever in sup
porting Wellington, Speir and burst.

This Mine is Worked Out.

The convicted democratic sheriff may
have come up from humble parentage, but
that is no reason why he shouldn't know
the difference between spring chickens and
boiling beef or cream putfs and bread
at y cents a loaf. star.
The JOURNAL does not at all seek to
extenuate the sheriff colossal error, but
suppose he had learned that predecessors
who had come down from bumptiOus
lineage, and who "knew the difference, -
had "done similar'-what then:
If it be true that the court could not
permit testimony to this effect, it proves
that Mr. Hodel was thus bereft of far
better plea than the one founded upon
his ill;teracy.
The JOURNAL believes, therefore. that
there is nothing in Hodel's case of moral
value to either party.
