Fergus County Democrat: A re-
cord price for ranch land was set yes
tertlay when deal was closed up by
Manager J. +. Lane, of the Montana
Lumber company, for the sale of his
ranch, one mile from the experiment
station, to Mr.. Hayward, an Illinois
capitalist, who paid not less than $50
an acre for the tract Of 800 acres.
This is one of the finest pieces of land
on the entire bench. 1t is as level as
floor and every inch Of it can be
cultivated. The soil is deep and rich
and from 100 acres this fall Mr.. Lane
got 5000 bushels of fine wheat. The
rest Of the land is just as good and
while Mr.. Hayward paida high price,
as land is selling, for the tract, he
undoubtedly secured fine bargain.
A town that never has anything to

the cemetery. Any citizen who will

time from his business to give to city
affairs is making the shr0ud. The
man who will not advertise is driving
the hearse. The man who is always
pulling from any public enterprise

the town lies buried from all sorrow
and care.-Exchange.
