MISS noble VISITS
ROUNDUP SCHOOLS
SIX TEACHERS ARE NOW RE-
QUIRED AT BIG CAMP ON
THE MUSSELSHELL.

Miss Orpha Noble returned yes
terday from a tour of the schools in
the southern part of the county. Dur
ing her absence. she visited the
schools at Roundup, Melstonc, Lavina
ard Elso. At Roundup Friday, Miss
Noble held a teachers examination
there being four applicants.
At all of the schools visited, the
county superintendent found good
work being done Roundup has taken
its place as the second district in the
county in point Of the number OF
teachers employed The phenomenal
growth of the coal camp is indicated
by the fact that the number of school
teachers has been increased from one
to six within twelve months. The
board of trustees have naturally been
unabl to keep pace with this growth
in the supplying of new equipment
but another year or two will see the
Roundup school among the leaders in
the state.

Local Competition Puts Wheat Up to
Ninety Cents Per Bushel-Oats
Dollar Five.
MUCH GRAIN COMING IN
First Avenue Crowded for Several
Blocks With Big Grain Wagons
Oats Contracted.

Thousands of bushels of grain have
been delivered at the local elevators
during the past week and the rush is
not yet at its highest point accorlin2
to local grain dealers. The keen
competition which exists on the Lew
istown market among the three grain
elevators resulted in big boost in
the price Of wheat last week. About
ten thousand bushels was contracted
at 90 cents per bushel and several
times that much at 88 and 81 cents
The going price today is IS cents
which is said to be two or three cents
i'll advance OF the market.
First avenue in the vicinity OF the
grain elevators has presented a busy
appearance for the last several days.
There have been, at times, dozen
loaded wagons strung out UP the
avenue waiting for those ahead 10

is iii good condition and is being
shipped out at the rate OF several car
loads daily.
Grain Order From Pacific Coast.
M. b. Lytle last week closed con-

the order as about every rancher in
the county seems to have few odd
thousand bushels of fine oats.

Gains and Losses by Counties.
On comparing the above figures
with those published for 1907 it is
found that many counties have made
notable gains and losses. Beaverhead
county shows a decrease in placer
gold and silver, but a notable gain in
gold from deep mines. Broadwater
placer mines, but increased its silver
production and more than doubled its
production Of gold from deep mines.
Cascade county made decreased out
put in both gold and silver. Chouteau
and Flathead counties combined and
Deer Lodge county, although show
ing slight decreases in both placer
and deep mine gold, considerably in
creased their silver output. Fergus
county decreased its placer produc-
ton, but increased its production of
both gold and silver from deep mines.
Granite county increased its produc-
ton of both placer and deep mine
gold and maintained the quantity of
silver produced in 1907. In Jefferson
county the production of both deep
and placer gold was materially de-
creased, but the quantity of silver
produced was greatly increased.
Lewis and Clark county made de-
creased production of deep and
placer gold and of silver. Madison
county showed large increase in pro-
duction of placer gold, but smaller
output of deep-mine gold and of silver
than in 1907. Meagher, Park, Carbon
and Ravalli counties, combined, pro-
duced considerably less gold and sill
yer in 1908 than did Meagher, Park
and Ravali counties in 1907. Mis-
soula county produced less gold and
considerably less silver than in 1907.
Powell county largely augmented its
placer gold production, but the IN
crease was more than Offset by a
greatly reduced deep-mine production
of gold in 1908 and slightly reduced
silver output In Silver Bow county
there was materially reduced yield
of placer and deep mine gold, but an
increase of about million ounces of
silver over the corresponding output
of 1907.

MAY Not Represent.

New York, Nov 23.-Unless Greece
and Turkey blaze up over the island
of Crete in the meantime, the third
Grec;an Olympaid of modern times
will be held in classic Athens in just
about six months time In local
circles the cinder path stars are be.
ginning to wonder when something
is going to be started that will even
tually take the shape of an American
athletic invasion of Greecian soil
Several of the local stars have an
nounced their intention of "going
with the team" unofficially, of
course-but as yet there is no inkling
as to whether or not team will be
sent.
The Multnomah A. A. A. of Port
land, Ore, has already arranged 10
send one or more representatives to
the meet in case the country at large
is not represented by team. Forest
Smithson, the peerless high hurdler,
will carry the Winged M in his fav-
orite event, the money for his ex-
penses having already been sub
scribed.
The American Olympic committee
will probably await overtures from
Greece before the matter of sending
a team to Athens is taken up in earn
est. In 1906 the Greeks sent an ur-
gent invitation for America to send
team and accompanied it with a
check for $500 to help bear the ex-
penses of the trip.
In England there is already talk OF
marshaling team OF Britishers for
the 1910 Olympaid that will sweep
aside all opposition. This is probably
the result of the fine walloping that
the Englishmen got on ther own soil
last summer, for, despite the fact that
the united kingdom officially won a
"great victory" at the London Olym-
piad, because of winning lot of side
issues like the ladies' archery compe-
tition, deep thinking Englishmen are
wise to the fact that their track and
field athletes got the beating Of their
lives.

Judith Valley Irrigated Lands With.

Some Experiments.

P. w. Korell. of Utica, Tells Demo-
crat Of Superior Advantages of
Lands On Judith.

P. w., better known as BILLY"
Korell, of Utica. has been mingling
with his numerous friends in this
city for several days and was an ap-
preciated caller at the office of the
Democrat yesterday morning.
Billy is somewhat of an old-timer
in these diggin's. having been rus
ticating around over there in the
Judith valley for the matter OF thirty
years. He had the good judgment,
early in the game, to get hold of
some of the finest land in the valley
of the Judith, which is equivalent to
saying the best land in the world.
Billy has one alfalfa meadow, all ir-
rigated, of over two hundred acfes.
Any enterprising land-seeker who
comes along and makes Billy an Of
fer of $500 per acre for this meadow
might get it and he might not.
Great Sugar Beet Country.
But according to this old-timer of
Utica, alfalfa and grain are not the
only things that can be raised in
much abundance in the Judith valley.
At the request of the management of
the experiment station at Bozeman,
Mr.. Korell started four years ago to
making some experiments in sugar
beet culture. The result of these ex-
periments has convinced him that the
Judith valley is unsurpassed by any
section in the United States for the
culture of this particular variety of
beets.

Three and One-quarter Million Dol

No better indication of the splendid
era Of prosperity which is now in full
swing in Fergus county can be de-
sired than the showing of the various
banking institutions Of the county.
Within the last week, statements OF
every state and national bank in the
county have come to the exchange
desk of the Democrat and some in
teresting compilations have been
made.
Fourteen Banks Here.
There are fourteen banks in Fer
gus county. When it is considered
that there was but one ten years ago
and but two five years ago. some idea
of the rapid development of what we
fondly call the Inland Empire may
be derived. Lewistown leads with
three banks, every one of them in a
most fourishing condition. Moore
has two and considering the size and
age of the town they are wonders
Kendall has one very strong banking
institution. Philbrook has two. one
Of which is private bank, the state
ment of which we were unable to Sc
cure. There is new one at Buffalo
which is backed by some very strong
interests. Stanford claims one bank
but it is growing by leaps and
bounds. Roundup has two excep-
tionally strong young banks. Then
there is one at Judith Jap which
while not in Fergus county, gets
most Of its business from this county

According to the statements pub
lished last week, these strictly Fer.
