GOV. NORRIS BOOSTS
Takes Exception to Statement That
we Will Become Importing
Nation.

Governor Edwin l.. Norris is in
receipt of telegram from a New
York newspaper asking his views as
to the recent statement of James }.
Hill that the United States would
soon become wheat importing ma
ton. The address was made before
the bankers convention in Chicago
by the railroad magnate. The tele-
graphic correspondence, which shows
that Governor Norris has no such
belief respecting Montana, at least,
is as follows:
"ConditiOns in Montana do not
indicate that the production of
agricultural products will soon be
less than the demand for home con-
sumption Of the nation. Rapid
sett lement and more extensive cul-
tivatiOn of agricultural land in Mon
tana insure an ever-increasing vol
ume of agricultural products.
''Irrigation projects under way
and in contemplation will increase
the irrigated area six times the pre-
sent amount. There are lands of
sufficient productive value to justify
the cost Of reclamation and available
water supply to irrigate the same, tC
| further increase the irrigated area
Farming without irrigation is {
proven success. Twenty million acres
of Montana lands will intimately be
cultivated at profit by that method
Reclamation and cultivation without
irrigation of western lands and the
drainage of southern lands will solve
the problem of production and. con-
tinue this as an exporting nation OF
agricultural products. In the west
there are homes for those from
abandoned farms and crowded cities
of the east In Montana opportunities
are especially inviting,'

One of the most wonderful disco

The Vampire" is described as a

to be the cause of that debility char
