E. J. Law, who shipped in a carload
of horses for the last sale. bought two
carloads of 2-vear-olds from j. M.
Watson and shipped to Chicago. He got
a good price for the horses he sold and
considered himself lucky in finding
such a bunch of colts to take east.
Frank Zdrahal and John Kubic recently
made arrangements with the Walton &
Davis Co. for lumber for barns at their
farms north of town to cost around
So, 600 each. These men are both
patrons of the Dickinson Creamery Co.
Joe Oukrup is another thrifty farmer
who is about to erect a large barn.
Albert Oukrup will build a 81. 600 house
at his farm this season.
S. D. Gregg of Gladstone reports that
his bunch of horses have been suffering
with contagious pneumonia for the past
few weeks. He lost one pair of four
year-olds that he valued at $500. His
stallion. valued at 81. 000. has been a
victim of the disease but seems to have
fully recovered. Horses wintered well
but quite a number in the vicinity of
Taylor and Gladstone have had the
distemper.
j. R. Smith of Beach will put in
what is probably the largest fax crop
west of the Missouri. He expects to
break Z. 600 acres of new ground and SOW
it to flax. requiring 1000 bushels Of
seed. The outlay will be about SIP, 600
but he expects a $50. 600 crop OF. "a. 600
bushels at the least. He will run his
breaking outfit "a hours a day. The
land is partly in this state and partly
in Montana.

come n of its members. He is very

and Boston, was here this week with
their representative, C. M. ! Dinsdale.
who has bought the most of the wool in
this vicinity. Mr.. jackson was on his
way to Utah and although he talked
with several of our wool growers, he did
not offer any better price for wool than
was offered by MI. Dinsdale before he
arrived. which is evidence of the fact
that Mr.. Dinsdale was offering their
maximum price" ~
George Leonard and John Bloodgood
of. New Salem closed a deal. last week
whereby they became owners of the
Connolly -McTate ranch located neat
Deer Lodge, Mont. The ranch comprises
16. 600 acres and is stocked with 16. 0c0
head of. cattle and 800 horses. Some of
the finest alfalfa fields in Montana are
fourishine on this ranch. The new
proprietors have already been offered an
advance of 81 per acre which is a good
fat SUM for an investment made less
than a week ago. Some of the land is
under ditch and all of the water rights
are held by Leonard & Bloodgood. The
Milwaukee road buys water from this
ranch and it is at Deer Lodge where
their big laundry is located. MI.
Leonard was in Dickinson Monday and
reported that he would move west a
once. He feels tn t an increase of 81
per acre on a large tract is something
tempting but after seeing his ranch
from end to end and corner to conner hi
is in no hurry 10 sell.
