Gnger has determined to withdraw
from the Rocky Boy Indians the &c.
600 acres OF land allotted them in the
fertile country northeast OF here and
just east Of the Fort Peck Indian res

North Dakota, to CuIbertson, across
the line in Montana, and beyond to
Glasgow and Havre, expressions Of
satisfaction may be heard. and the
matter is general talk among CONNER.
cial men on the trains.
All Want Fair Treatment.
Montana business sentiment favors
fair treatment of the Indians. but 1t
had seemed to the people here that the
interior department, in setting aside
SO large fertile tract for the occu-
pancy OF a band OF Indians who are
not, and never will be, farmers. had
carried solicitude for the red man be-
yond any reasonable point. It was like
putting barrier to northward in the
path of development of the country
from which the towns OF Valley and
Choteau counties expect to derive in
creasing patronage in the next few
years.
When the Montana men affixed their
signatures to the telegram of protest
headed by the business representatives
Of Minneapolis and st. Paul, they
scarcely hoped for SO prompt a re-
Spouse. The order from Secretary
Ballinger is taken here to mean that
the Rocky Boy band will be located
farther out, nearer the mountains,
where the land will be just as good
for them, since they will not cultivate
1t anyway, and the $4,000 acres capa-
BILE Of producing fine crops will remain
unoccupied, so that 1t may be opened
to settlement in the not distant fu.
ture.
Action Pteases Montana.
DIR. Mark M. Hoyt, Of Glasgow, who
was strong in his opposition to the
plan to give the good land to the In
dians, says Secretary Ballinger could
have done nothing so pleasing to east
ern Montana. 1T shows" said DIR.
Hoyt. that the department is not to
be bound by first decisions when 1t
can be shown that they are unfavor-
able to commercial development. and
this policy of consideration for the
material welfare of the state means
much for eastern Montana, where
there Is so large an area of unoccu-
pied land that, once open to settle
ment. will make thousands of produc.

GRAIN STATE DEVELOPING.
Montana's Increase In Wheat and Oats
Fully IS Per Cent.

Observation-Disclosures wheat and oat
crop for this year will be at least %
per cent greater than last. While
threshing is over in nearly every part
of the state except In the Gallatin and
the Judith valleys, 1t is too early to
obtain reliable estimates of the num-
Der of bushels harvested, because of
the fact that the crop Is slow in NOV
ing. Oats are now quoted at 81 hun
dred, and wheat at so cents a bushel,
but farmers are not willing to accept
these prices.
Montana is destined to be one of
the greatest grain-producing states In
the country.
II Is only within the last three years
that the crop has been sufficiently large
to warrant attention in the eastern
market. Some idea OF the changing
conditions in this state is shown by
the fact that within three years our
company has built fourteen elevators,
with a combined capacity OF approx.
mately 100000 bushels. The build
ing of these elevators has accelerated
the growing of grain, as ii opened the
grain markets of the world to the Mon
tana producer. The acreage in grain
this year was much greater than 1t
was n year ago. and indications are
that a big increase will be shown next
year. Much depends on weather con.
dftions. however.
No finer grain Is produced any.
where than here in Montana. The
wheat makes excellent flour and be-
cause the oats are heavy they are In
demand for the manufacture Of cereals.
Not only is the grain an excellent
quality. but the yield is large. oats
averaging from seventy-five and eigh.
ty-five bushels an acre and wheat
about thirty-five bushels.
