BELIEVE IN MONTANA
As the Coming Agricultural Section Of
The United States.

Joe Strickland, in the immigration
department of the Milwaukee rail-
road. in company with wealthy re-
tired Iowa farmer, l.. J. Gates. both
OF Manchester, Iowa, stopped off in
Judith Gap last Saturday to visit with
the editor of the Journal. These
gentlemen are both interested in big
land holdings along the Milwaukee
railroad in Meaglcr county, and have
been watching the development Of
this section Of the state for some
time. They are firmly Of the belief
that the dry farm lands of Montana
are the most productive and enduring
of any farm lands in the nOrthw estern
group of states. They see Il great fu-
ture for Montana, and claim that
Iowa will do her share in populating
and improving our rich farm lands.
The gentlemen spent Sunday at
tending Easter services in Lewis
town, and Monday the writer took
Mr.. Gates out from Judith Gap to
show him the fine country tributary
to this town, Mr.. Strickland going to
Lavina to attend to some business
matters. Mr.. Gates was so well
pleased with what he saw that he
promised to return this summer and
look up some good investments for
himself and friends.

Montana Coal Industry.

Lie COuI IuuuStCy HlI over the state
is in tlourislling condition. In Fer
gus county much development in coal
measures and the opening of new
mines has taken place. At Roundup
giant industry is being built up and
at each Of the three big mines town.
site has been plated. The latest
tOwnsite is known as Farrell. How
ever Roundup is the center of the dis
trict. But better means of transport
ing coal to market and operations on
large and consequently cheaper
scale are essential. a number of
mines are working and supplying the
local market.
According to records the coal min
ing industry of Montana begun in 1880.
In this year, according to the u. :.
Geological surveys report, the pro-
ductiOn amounted to pa short tons,
in 1880 the production was ST., .sOl tons,
in 1895 500, 900 tons, while in 1907 it
amounted to 2,OOO, 900 tons or nearly
ten thousand times the production of
~ years previous. Prospects for fur
ther increased consumption and pro-
ductiOn in the state during 1909 are
splendid. For instance, compared
with 1906, the coal production in 1907
showed an increase Of ls6, 1916 tons or
1912 per cent, in quantity and of stt6,-
725, or 2O.6 per cent, in value. \ fair
idea of the wealth of Montana coal
fields is conveyed in the report Of Mr..
NJ. r. Campbell of L. s. Geological
Survey. He estimates the original
coal supply of the state was BOB, ,O6O,-
WN, 600 short tons, of which only one
hundred per cent, amounting to b.
OOO, 600 tons, has been mined and WAS
ted in mining.
The leading coal producing counties
are: Cascade. with production in 1907
Of 1925, ,223 tons; Carbon, with 746,l
tons: Park, with lO2, ,555 tons: Gal
latin, Fergus and Choteau. The pro-
ductiOn of Carbon county has in
creased rapidly of late years, due in
some measure to the development of
the county by means of railroads,
such as the Clark Fork extension of
the Northern Pacific. which opened
an impOrtent portion of the Big Horn
Basin.

gave them another point. Those who
witnessed the game said the score
should have been II to in favor of
Glenwood, but the locals were willing
to do more than the square thing in the
matter
There was much disappointment re-
garding the size of the crowd. In fact,
the Glenwood school boys found the
receipts too small to pay the expenses
of bringing Aspen to the city. Such
is to be deplored. The schools. Aspen
and Glenwood, deserve the support of
the people of their home towns. They
are manly fellows and are but fitting
themselves to become stronger men
than they would be if athletics were
passed up. 1t is certainly to be hoped
the Glenwood people and especially
the parents of the school children, will
take stronger interest in the athletics
of the school and not only lend their
moral support. but will give of their
finances that Glenwood may continue
in the high place her boys have placed
her. We are no longer at the bottom

given proper encouragement we will re

After fifty minutes of the fastest
and most gruelling football eevr seen
on the local field, in which Aspen high
school fought like demons to retain
string of victories. and Glenwood high
school fought to blot out the stain Of
past defeats and hang the scalp Of
their opponents to their standard, the
cry, "Glenwood wins! Glenwood
wins!' rang over the city. Never
have such wild scenes of enthusiasm
been witnessed and although the crowd
of people at the game was far smalled
than had been hoped, they cheered and
sang and gave the high school yells,
until every person in the city knew the
result, Glenwood II, Aspen 6.
For years the Aspen high school has
carried off the prizes in athletics, while
Glenwood has been forced to swallow
her defeat and look to the future when
her prowess would turn the tide and
she would win and bring credit to the
crimson and white. Not until this
year has Glenwood succeeded in
carrying off the lion s share in ath-
letics. The first victory came with the
winning of the championship at base
ball, then came the annual athletic con
test and again GlenwoOd High WAS
victor and when her warriors left tn,

it was the happiest crowd of Glenwood

JOE HARRIS KILLED

Many there are who will remember
the killing of Charles Sieber few
years ago by Joe Harris. The shooting
occurred ON the cattle range in the
Westwater country. After the killing
Harris gave himself up to the officers
and made plea of self defense.
Sunday afternoon last Joe Harris
and Joe Pace met on the same range
Guns We're flashed and Harris received
three bullets. one through the head and
two through the body. Pace rode to
Westwatcr and gave himself up to the
officers and sets up claim of self de-
fense
For years Pace and Harris have been
bitter enemies; in fact, many say the
killing of Seiber started the hatred be-
tween them and often had the express
sion been heard: cone of them will
be killed if they meet alone on the
range Their first meeting alone was
last Sunday and Pace was the "quicker
with the trigger and Harris was
stilled in death.

the father-in-law of Otto Barton of the
Globe Express office and recall the kill
