Lieutenant Governor Allen Wakes
Eloquent Over Future of the In
land Empire.
HIS FIRST VISIT HERE
Popular Official Gives Democrat
Prediction of Wonderful Era of
Development.

Lieutenant Governor w. R. Allen,
of Anaconda, accompanied by Mrs.
Allen, spent couple of days in this
city last week, the guests of Mrs.
Aliens brother, Tom Berkin. and
wife. While Mrs. Allen made this
county her home for several years
prior to her marriage, it was the first
visit of her distinguished husband to
the Judith Basin.
Foretells Wonderful Future.
In an interview with the editor of
the Democrat, Lieutenant Governor
Allen expressed himself as most
WONDERFULLY surprised at the agricul-
tural development of the Judith Basin.
"This is my first visit to Lewistown
and the Judith Basin." said Governor
Allen, "and the trip has certainly been
a revelation to me in many respects.
AS a matter of fact, within the last
few years Fergus county has become
to be looked upon as one OF the most
fertile and progressive sections OF our
great state but no one who has not
made a personal investigation of con-
ditionse here can realize magnificent
possibilities of your Judith Basin. In
the first place, few people. even of our
own state, appreciate the great extent
of this Basin. Not until have
travelled for several hours did | thor
oughly understand why it is called
the Inland Empire.' A veritable
empire in extent and possibilities it
is.
"I was also forcibly struck by the
fact that but very small portion of
your good farm land has yet been
touched by a plow. In riding across
the country, one observes a quarter
section here and there under cultiva-
tion, the unbroken portion always
prcdominating in area. / am told that

dollar per bushel There are eighty
acres OF oats on the place which will
average close to IS bushels per acre.
Pretty Little Town.
Philbrook, or Hobson, as many OF
the good people there prefer to call
1t, is beautifully located and growing
rapidly. All lines OF mercantile bus
mess are represented, they have a
good school, church and one OF the
live newspapers OF Fergus county in
the Judith Basin Star, published by
). +. Peterson. Philbrook is not only
the center OF thousands OF acres OF
the finest irrigated land in the world
but also his tributary to it vast areas
OF bench land which help to make that
place an important commercial center.
Miles Of Wheat Fields.
On the road home, the party passed
through Moore and made a detour
several miles south OF the Rock creek
bench metropolis. 1t is certainly a
trip worth taking. There is mile after
mile Of fields Of beautiful wheat and
oats, growing as they will grow in
no other part of this country. Fully
one half OF the grain was in the
shock and it is estimated that by the
end Of another week, practically all Of
the winter wheat will be ready for
the thresher. Where the wheat has
been cut, the ground is almost COW
cred by the shocks
All Should Take Trip.
The time devoted to a trip over
the Judith Basin just now is we'll
spent. 1t will cffectually Danish any
lingering doubt as to the incom-
parable prosperity which the i'm
mediate future has i'll store for this
great county

The members Of the Lewistown
lodge of Elks more than upheld their
reputation as splendid entertainers
last Thursday and Friday evening
when they appeared before two
packed houses in their annual min
strel performance. Although the
boys have put on some good shows
in the past their turnout this year
easily surpassed all former efforts.
Some Pretty Costumes.
This was the first show of the sea-

nothing but put on shows for Elks
lodges and they sprung brand new
set of costumes as we'll as songs,
The costumes were Summers and the
good looking young men of the Elks
lodge never appeared to better ad-

these two clever entertainers have a
standing invitation to make Lewis

town between Billings and Great Falls
and, in the natural order OF things.
VIII become the thriving county seat

Country Looks Fine.
Il have been living in Fergus
county for good many years." said
Jim to the Democrat, but never did
she look SO good to me as it does
just now. No country ever produced
such crops of grain as may be seen
growing between this city and Stan
ford. Not only grain, but grass ia
growing knee high all over the
benches and good hay can be cut
from the public roadside.
We are cutting some fine crops of
grain and hay around Stanford. Our
town is the center OF the largest Sec
tion of fine farming land surround
ing any town in the state and when
the tens of thousands of acres of
bench land are plowed up and put in
to grain, Stanford is certain to be-
come one of the most populous cities

working together for bigger and

A Model Ranch Home.
The hospitable ranch home OF
James Raw, few hundred yards
above Philbrook, was reached shortly
before noon and did not require a
great deal OF urging to prevail upon
the party to remain for dinner. Mr..
Raw's home place is one of the most
beautiful, fertile and best cared for
ranches in the famous Judith valley.
The quarter section is early worth
one hundred dollars per acre and that
amount would hardly tempt Mr.. Raw
to part with his home. Mr.. Raw is
here demonstrating a few OF the pos
sibilities of Judith Basin soil when
properly handled. He has the finest
garden, containing every variety Of
vegetable, we have ever seen. He
picks up four or five dollars every
day by selling garden truck in Phil
brook and as that thriving town con-
tinues to grow as it is bound to do.
this amount will be doubled or
trebled.
Eight acres of wheat was threshed
by two sons of Mr.. Raw. Richard and
Hugo, who have purchased machine.
and turned out exactly four hundred
bushels or fifty bushels per acre. All
Of this wheat was sold for seed at one
