LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
BOOSTS TREASURE STATE
". R. ALLEN INFORMS THE NEW YORK SUN ABOUT
THE WAVE OF PROSPERITY THAT HAS
HIT MONTANA.

The New York Sun has the follow
ing interesting story Of Lieutenant
Governor w. X. Allen of Montana.
The lieutenant governor of Mon
tana is i'm town and he likes New
York 80 well that he is going to re-
main two weeks. This is not his fl rst
visit, either. by name he is W. X.
Allen. AS he sat on sofa at the
Holland house yesterday he looked
about the height of an ordinary man,
but when he began to get up it looked
as if he would hit the ceiling before
he stopped.
Lieutenant Governor Allen is real
product Of Montana and lie confesses
to being proud Of it. His father sail
,etl into the golden west in a prairie
schooner in tow Of an OK team as far
back as 1853, but it was not until
some seven years later that w. X. ar
rived to gladden. the pioneer home.
The lieutenant governor wears a mus
tache and goatee and a pleasant smile
and is full OF Montana.
"Yes there were Indians and buf-
faloes out in Montana in plenty when
my recollection begins,' said Mr..
Allen yesterday. "That was about
all there was, except a few prospec-
tors. The battle of Big Hole with
the Nez Perce Indians was fought
only 10 miles from our place. Still,
we were not afraid of them, because
we used to look upon danger of that
sort with the same feeling that we re-
gard the possibilities Of wreck when
we set out upon train journey to-
day. l did not see any scalping when
l was a yOungster, for the only time
the Nez Perces went OIL the. rampage.
was just before the soldiers got after
them in 1878. l used to see Indians
in war paint often, but that did not
signify anything. 1t just means that
the red man was dressed up in his
best.
Montana is really just beginning
to grow" said Mr.. Allen, "rhe state
was held back for years on account of

roads which in after days penetrated
and opened up vast tracts of land in
the west and northwest. it would
have been we'll nigh impossible to
have opOned up this section which is
now the abode of thriving commune
ties recognized by their industry,
prosperity, intelligence and respect
for law and religion.
That which was comparatively easy
for hunters and explorers would have
been exceedingly difficult for settlers
taking with them their families to
make for themselves new homes.
therefore 1T IS no wonder that in
stead of trying to cross vast plains
peopled by savage Indians they fol-
lowed the line of least resistance and
founded commemorative first Of all
in the south by the navigable waters
of the great streams.
Yet even in the first half of the last
century there were not wanting brave
spirits, forced sometimes by the
stress of circumstances, who, as it
were, took their lives in their hands
and with their families made the ven
ture across the "Great American des-
ert" and settled far from civilization.
and by indomitable perseverance, in
dustry and superiority to danger, not
only made Il living for themselves,
but laid the foundation of cities and
towns that today are distinguished
for refinement, prOgressiveness and
material prosperity. This was done
on comparatively large and system
attic scale by the Mormons when they
left Illinois and Iowa in 1916 to estab-
lish themselves in the Great Salt
Lake valley. But with no less cour-
age and determination other and
smaller bodies gradually penetrated
what was then the wilds of the vast
northwest and became the pioneers of
that great army of settlers that has
transformed what was once popularity
regarded as a forbidding wilderness
and desert into tlOurishing states.
In fact, a new era of economic con-

Immigration either going past to
Washington or Oregon or else stop
ping in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
People used to think the Montana
land so dry that they could not raise
anything there, and the idea got
about that the western part was good
only for mining, while the central and
eastern parts were of no use except
for grazing. But they have been es-
tabiishing agricultural colleges in the
eastern part Of the state aud settlers
have been coming in for four or five
years. 1t has been demonstrated that
what were called the arid lands can
be made to produce the largest kind
OF crops. In the Judith Basin in the
central part Of the country they are
getting 40 bushels of wheat and 100
OF oats to the acre, and this without
irrigation. Montana is now going to
change from a mining into an agri-
cultural state. The cattle that are
tattened OH it's natural grasses bring
the highest prices in the eastern and
western markets. Montana apples
are now being shipped not only to
New York but to England, and it was
only a few years ago that nobody
thought an apple would grow out
there.
"Why, when old man Buck took
some apple trees out to the Bitter
Root valley 25 years ago everybody
thought him the rankest kind Of an
eNperimenter, and when he really got
fruit from the trees they said he had
just happened to strike a peculiarly
favorable spot 1t is only within the
last ten years that they have been
raising apples all over the state-that
is, where the altitude is not. over
4,5oO feet 1t is only lately that the
railroads have begun to pay us atten-
tiOn, but NOW they are coming our
way fast, and of course they open up
the country rapidly. We've got lots
OF room ont there. You see, wecould
drop all New England into Montana
and still have room to squeeze in New
York"

Memorial.

Hankerson Washington Ely, son
of Aaron FOrman and Emma Ely,
was born in Rails County, Mo-,
April 5, 1888, on the estate where
he lived for seventy-one years.
He died Saturday morning, May
8, 1909.
He was a student in Central Col.
lege, Fayette, Mo. At the aee of
eighteen he taught his first school
near Perry. Mo.
November 8, 1865. at the old
Lovel Rouse home, by DR.. Sheetz,
he was married to Mary Hannah
Rouse to which union were born
seven sons and one daughter, the
first, a son, dying in infancy. The
death of this child aroused his re-
heious convictions ultimating in his
profession of religion and union
with the Methodist church at De
Moss.
Two children reside in Texas, one
in Walla, Walla. Washington, two
in Hedge City, Knox County, Mo.
Mr.. Ely lived his life. 1t was one
of purpose, of convictions, of praise,
worthy ambitions, of fairness with
men, of tender and wise counsel to
his family, of conservation in bust
ness and civil duty, of we'll poised
and steady justice, tempered with
benevolence, of faith in the Holy
scriptures, of trust in the merit of
Christ, mems Redeemer, and pa
tience in suffering, submission to
the will of God.
He had suffered for some years,
but not so painfully as for the las
nine months of his life. His serious,
honest, simple life with all it's sue
cesses and satisfactions drew and
charmed us much. And Lo! in his
death he was honored. The multi
tude attending the funeral services
at DeMoss Tuesday afternoon was
a fearful and tender epitome of
public esteem for him and love and
and sympathy for the
members of his family.
Funeral services were conducted by
Rev. 7. Penn.
He lived his life well. His end |
was peace. God called none too
soon, none too late. At rest.

st. Jude Church has had more
water than it could use so got j. B.
Headrick to drill a well for it. The
well is 96 feet deep and the water
90 feet in the piping The theory
is: The draining from the furnace
room will never fill the well, be
cause the water stands in it as high
as its source, so that more water
turned into it means the surplus
water will follow the vein and
disappear.
