When the Job was finished. however,
and Jim sat dangling his feet over

TO a reporter who had climbed up TO
see him.
Scared? What att" was Jims
Yankee answer to the first question.

What Dillon Needs.

From the Dillon Tribune.
Dillon needs few things very bad
~. All towns need few things
very badly, but Dillon needs them
just little bit worse than any place
Of it's size in the entire state. One Of
them is city hall and jail; another
is hospital; another is something
here that will give lis good monthly
pay roll. We need, very much, less
number Of saloons, whose hours of
business shall be confined to about u
or 10 hours day, six days III the
week; then the monthly grocery bill,
as we'll as some other bills, would be
paid more promptly. We need, prob
ably worse than anything else, a
thoroughly organized club of real
boosters, who would grab at the first
sign Of anything that might be Of ben
eft to the city. We need more mer-
chants here who know enough about
how to conduct business rs to adver-
tise their business in the local papers.
We need a Young Mems Christian
association, al oatmeal mill and
we'll we need some more things that
we haven't got.

A GREAT RECEPTION FOR DR.. COOK
CONTINUED from page p

glimpse of the explorer when he EN-
tered.
There was preliminary reception
in the lofty and spacious entrance
hall. The company marched up
stairs to the air of the Star Spangled
Banner. After all had been seated, the
minister Of commerce, Johan Hansen,
escorted DR.. Cook to the chair of
honor amid demonstration which
caused him to color deeply. Minister
Egan sat at DR.. Cooks right, with
the mayor of Copenhagen and Miss
Egan beyond.
The speeches teemed with compli-
ments to DR.. Cook. Minister Egan
brietlyproposed toast to the king Of
Denmark, and the corporation presi-
dent i'll proposing toast to the presi-
dent of the United States spoke of the
pride that must be felt by the nation
which could boast that it was her son
who first planted the flag where no
human being had ever set foot.
4
posing the health of Dr.. Cook, paid a
warm tribute to "his noble deed"
He thanked him for spending little
time in Denmark. and said that the
privations Of the explorer were APP
preciated most by the men of Den
mark there tonight, whose names are
written with honor on the ice rocks of
Denmark northern colony.
When the nation was first thrilled
by news Of Cooks exploit, he said he
must confess there was some skepti-
cism, but afterward his story was
confirmed, and lie hoped that DR..
Cook would try for the south pole
with the same success.
When the minister raised his glass
to ''our noble guest" there were nine
hurrahs.
Commodore Hovgaard spoke from
the standpoint of All explorer, and
commended DR.. Cooks methods.
DR., Cook replied briefly:
y thank you very much for the warm and eloquent
words, but am unable 10 express myself properly. It
was rather hard day for me, but never ealeyed day

students in uniform marched i'll when
the company returned to the grand
hall and gave DR.. Cook a rOusing
cheer. They insisted upon a speech
and sang songs. \ noteworthy fea-

It's All Ours.

From the Great Falls Tribune.
An authority on the subject informs
an anxious American people that all
the land discovered at the north pole
will belong to the United States by
reason Of it's discovery by al Ameri-
can.
Thus do the outlying possessions of
the United States everincrease. It is
to be hoped that there will be no re-
bellion of our subjects up there neces-
stating an increase in the standing
army. We have no doubt that the
larger army advocates would be very
glad of an additional excuse. It is
not generally anticipated, however,
that it will be necessary to establish
Notifications and send troops up there
right away.
Nor is it anticipated that settlers
will make any rush to get claims in
that part of our domains, no matter
how large the government may make
them. Should some one discovergold
around the pole, however, there is no
telling what suffering men might UNI
dergo to get at it,
Patience Rewarded.
From the Harlem News.
Montana has waited as have the
DakOtaS, Nebraska and other west
central states. Montana has stood
for knocking-it has had to. as have
other new states in the past. And
out of all this we, as well as the other
states, have come out at the finish
victorious. Today no other state is
attracting the attention that this
state is. Homeseekers areinvestigat-
ing and are not only satisfied but
surprised. In this vicinity, with
very few exceptions, the homeseeker
who is looking for government land
is filing. The investor is confronted
upon every hand with opportunities
that do not exist in the East and the
country is being populated with
marvellous rapidity. We venture the
assertion that nowhere will be found
a larger percentage ofsuccessful men.
All we have ever needed is advertise
ing, and we are getting that.

Cook. In answering a cablegram
sent to him by DR.. Cook, reporting
that he had reached the coveted spot.
Mr.. Taft cabled his warmest con-
gratulations, declaring that the pride
of all Americans had been stirred by
the news, that the battling feat had
been accomplished by an American
citizen. The exchange of cablegrams
was as follows:
''copenhagen. Sept. 1. l9os.-The President. White
House, Washington: have the honor to report to the
chief magistrate Of the United States that have returned
having reached the north POLE. Signed.

you have reached the north pole calls for my hearty
gratulations and srs the pride Of all Americans that
this feat which has long baifled the world, has been
accomplished by the intelligent energy and wonderful
durance Of fellow countryman. Signed.
WILLIAM ii. TAFT
President Taft has taken the keen
est interest in the news regarding the
discovery ever since the brief bulletin
was received OIL Wednesday after
noon. Always great newspaper
reader he has taken a deep interest in
the controversy which DR.. Cooks
fact has aroused among the Arctic
experts.
Minister Egan's cablegram of last
Thursday to the state department an
nouncing that DR.. Cooks accomplish
ment had been confirmed by the Dan
ish commissioner for Greenland, was
repeated to the president, but he
withheld any comment until receiv-
ing today the personal cablegram
which DR.. Cook evidently filed as
soon as he reached the Danish cap
ital.

said that Commander Peary tele-

Montana's Development.
From the Billings Journal:
During the recent tour of the state
incident to investigation of the
various reclamation projects, men,
beers of the senate committee on irri-
CATION and arid lands repeatedly ex-
pressed their surprise at the progress
made III the building up of new COM
munities. Some Of the senators had
never been in Montana before. With
the exception Of Senator Paynter Of
Kentucky most Of the senators were
from western states, and therefore,
tolerably we'll acquainted with the
rapid growth Of the West.
That the westerners were astOnished
at the progress made in this state is
evidence cOrroborative of the state
ment frequently made by the journal
concerning the number of new homes
established in Montana during the
past two years. All the proof needed,

however, is reference to land office
records or visit to sections of valley
or upland where the most desirable
land is located. Everywhere houses
are springing up as if by magic and
broad acres are being turned pre-
paratory to seeding.
1t is not alone in Y ellowstone county
where this transformation is taking
place, though nowhere else is it more
manifest. Eastern Montana is being
developed at a rate which must sur
prise any one who is not daily familiar
with the change. And the results of
this seasons harvest are such as to
warrant the belief that next years
growth will be even more marvellous
than it has been during the past II
months.
Value OF Farm 1 ands
From the Belt Valley Times:
We are often asked the value of
farm lands in this section and have
been forced to confess that it is a
hard question to answer offhand.
Only few years ago large number
Of sales Of partly improved lands were
recorded at from 81 to So per acre.
Within the past two years few sales
have been made at prices from 80 to
SIS per acre, and small lots Of choice
land highly improved have changed
hands at prices reaching as high as
So per acre. 1t is significant that
during the past year little farm land
has changed hands. The farmers are
awakening to the fact that outside Of
Montana lands that are no more pro-
ductive than ours are held at from
$50 to $500 per acre, and there seems
to be but very little land in this sec
ton that is on the market. The real
estate dealers of neighboring cities
carry long lists Of Montana farm
lands, but it is noticeable that but
very few farms in the immediate vi
cinity of Belt are for sale.
