Why We Are Stronger.

The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers Of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men stand out like
cords.
AS matter of fact we have ath-
letes and strong men-men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats-that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It's a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers' wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack
ages: if not near the store buy the
large size family package. 2

Record Price Is Paid for Fine Piece
of Grain Land On the Bench
Near Philbrook.
AT LEAST $50 AN acre
Property Is Only Mile From Ele-
vator and Close to the Expert
ment Station.

A record price for ranch land was
set yesterday when deal was closed
up by Manager J. E. 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 500
acres. This is one of the finest pieces
of land on the entire bench. 1t is az
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 paid
a high price, as land is selling, for
the tract, he undoubtedly secured =
fine bargain.
Many Other Sales.
While this is the most notable
transaction of the past few days. there
have been numerous other trans
actions in ranch property, the number
for the past week being not less than
round dozen, while several others
are now in process of being closed
up. Several parties of eastern men
are in the basin, looking over proposi-
tions, and it appears likely that all
Of them will be suited before they de-
part.
The splendid crop showing in all
sections astonishes these visitors and
while they came into the basin doubt
less, as to the correctness of the re-
ports they had read as to the pro-
ductiveness of this section. all realize
that there has been no exaggeration.

HAY MEASUREMENT.
There Is But One Right Way te
Measure Hav in Montana.

The Democrat has had numerous
inquiries regarding the measurment
of hay according to the Montana law.
We give below the law as it appears
on the statute books:
That from and after the passage of
this law, the following shall consti-
tute the legal measurement for hay
in stack in the State of Montana:
-Four hundred and twenty-five cubic
feet shall constitute a ton of clean,
native, blue joint hay, after sixty days
and up to six months settlement in
stack, but when the same shall have
been over six months III the stack, $40
cubic feet shall be considered ton.
As to other kinds Of hay, after the
same shall have settled in stack from
sixty days up to one years time, 422
cubic feet shall constitute ton.
AS to the hay which has been in
stack one year, without regard to the
kid thereof, the number Of cubic feet
to the ton shall be mutually agreed
upon by the parties. And in making
measureme Of hay in stack the fol-
lowing is hereby made the legal
methods of measurem ents. to-wit:
The width and length of the stack
shall be measured, and the distance
from the ground against one side Of
the stack to the ground against the
other side OF the stack, directly over
and opposite. shall be taken in linear
feet and inches, and then the width
shall be subtracted from the measure
ment over the stack as above in
dicated, the result divided by two and
the result SO obtained multiplied BY
the width and the result thus OBJ
tained multiplied by the length, which
will give the number Of cubic feet
contained in the stack, and the ton
mage thereupon be determined by
dividing the total number Of cubic feet
allowed under the provisions Of this
act for ton.
This act shall be in full force and
effect from and after its passage and
approval by the Governor.

Hotel IS OPENED
With A BIG time
MANY LEWISTOWN PEOPLE
ATTEND-AN INTERESTING
PROGRAM.

Garneill, Sept. 13.-On the evening
of Friday last, large and repreesn-
tative company of the people of the
Judith Basin assembled at Garneill.
The occasion was the formal opening
Of the new, handsome and com
modious hotel erected here by the
Messrs. Shell and Erickson. This
hotel, it may be said. in regard to its
structure and arrangement, will bear
favorable comparison with any other
in the county of Fergus and it is no
aattery when one says that the enter
prise of Messrs. She'll and Erickson
has resulted in leaving a landmark
on this part of the country. And
while their enterprise has resulted in
an undoubted success. it must be
further added here that that success
is also due in a very large measure
to the kindly lady, whose gentleness
and hospitality are known far and
wide, Mrs. Shell.
The services of several distinguished
orators were secured for the occasion.
The chair was occupied by Mr.. Jack
Waite, of Lewistown, and it is need
less to say that he performed the
duties Of chairman with that ease and
gracefulness that mark the man of
culture. A short program was gone
through before the hall was cleared
for the dance that was to follow. The
first item was a selection played by
the Garneill brass band. This is a
new institution and all credit is due
