County Roads On State Lands.

In response to a query from the state
board of land commissioners, the at.
torney generals Office has rendered
AZ opinion concerning the construc.
ton of county roads ove state lands.
While the enabling act holds that the
state may dispose of no lands ct less
than ten dollas an acre, the statute
requires the state board to grant per.
mission for such construction upon
proper application.
IL Is therefore held by the opinion
that no charge should be made for
such right of way by the state board,
but that the rest of the statutory
law should be promptly complied with.
such as fling plats after survey and
the like. 10 essence therefore, it is
construed that the state is simply
granting an easement and does not in
fact dispose of the land as mean by
the enabling act. Were the lands
sold to the county, it would be ueces.
sary to make the sale at auction.

mains that there we're some losses,

It's truth. The demand for sheep ia

Death Of Mrs. j. O.. Patterson.

This community was greatly grieved
Friday evening by the announcement
of the death of Mrs. J. o. Patterson,
who was suffering from an attack of
pneumonia that was contracted q few
days ago but who was believed to be
on the road to recovery. The fatal
termin alton of her sickness was q sor-
rowful surprise to the friends and
neighbors of the patient.
Mrs. Patterson was formerly Miss
Eugenia c. Hurst, of Baltimore, Md,
and was married to j.. Orville Patter-
son, of this city, about twelve years
ago. The family made their home
most of the time at their Lost Lake
ranch, but in recent years occupied
their comfortable residence on upper
St. John street. Mrs. Patterson was
an active worker in church matters,
aud her attractive person lity and
many womanly virtues gave her the
respect and esteem of large circle of
friends.
The death of Mrs. Patterson is an
especially sad bereavement for her
husband and other relatives, two
children in the family having died
within the past year. The deceased is
survived BY Mr.. Patterson and three
children, her brother James B. Hurst,
of Lost Lake. and other relatives in
Maryland and West Virginia.

Settlers Must Prepare Applications.

Great Falls Tribune.
Some relief to the force employed in
the Great Falls land Office, which for
several months has been swamped by
the rush of filings on land In this dis.
trict, came yesterday afternoon in q
telegram to Register j. M. Burlin-
game, of the local land Office, from
the commissioner of the general land
Office, which said: 1.-THE circular of
September II, 1907, requiring your
Office to prepare applications for entry
is suspended for 80 days in your
Office"
The circula ar referred to in the tele.
gram provided that the Great Falls
land Office, In common with all other
land offices the United States, should
prepare applications for entrymen who
wished to file or land, thus saving the
entrymau the trouble of making out
his application. As there have fire.
quently been upward of 100 entries
made in q single day in the local land
office, the natter of making out ap.
plicauons for entrymen has caused
the land Office clerical force no end of
work.
For the mex 80 days prospective en-.
trymen will be required 10 have to
their applications for entry filled out
properly before they enter such sp-
plication 1T the land Office.
Register B%urlingame pointed out,
however. that 10 u majority of cases
this order would not affect the entry.
mar directly, Us most of the land
seekers are coming in from outside of
the district and they have to depend
on land lOcators TO fnd their claims
aud show them the bound ar les. Reg.
lister Burlingame is of the opinion
that the cost Of locating the entrymen
will include the filling out of the ap-
%plication blanks. so that entrymen
will not be charged extra for the
service.

MONTANA GROWS CORN.
A New Departure Promises Millions
Of Agricultural Wealth.

The suggestion that Montana is in
the ''corn belt" will be ridiculed by
some of the old time residents who be-
lieve that the agricultural resources of
the state r confined to limited crops
of hardy cereals and forage, but de.
velopments that have followed the ef-
forts of progressive ranchers confirm
the statement than corr of certain va
rieties will soon figure largely among
the agricultural products of Montana.
Practical experience counts for more
than theories advanced by sericul-
tural professors and writer's, and In.
stances of successful corn growing
warrant the claim that further devel-
opments along this line will soon be
in evidence. In the Office of Hilmen
e. Lying, of this city, are several fine
samples of corr grown on Hollywood
last season, without irrigation, which
show that such a crop a be
raised to perfection. The corn is we'll
developed and fully ripened. and
while the cob is not quite so large as
that of standard varieties raised in the
east, the crop e nearly go bushels
to the acre.
Another instance of successful corn
raising in this vicinity is the crop
harvested by Harry jacob from his
dry land farm on the Teton last year.
1t was yellow flint corn, we'll ripened.
and averaged As bushels Il the acre.
Mr.. jacob experimental last season
with a variety known a. Boone corn,
which he secured from Iowa, and
which be believes 10 we'll adapted to
Montana conditions. The cob ia
smaller ia 40 that of standa ard varie-
ties, but the grain is extra large, and
is said to be q great yielder. Mr.. ia.
cobb will use his last years. crop for
seeding purposes the coming season.
DR.. Harry A. Jones, of the Teton,
also made a success OF corr growing
last season, on his dry land farm.
The e experiment was made on q small
scale, but from II acres he harvested
so sacks of white flint corr that was
In excellent condition.
In the vicinity of Chinook corn
growing is no longer considered an
experiment., the success of several
ranchers demonstrating that it is q
profitable branch of agriculture. At
the Thomas Dowen ranch on North
Fork last season a good crop of IL
row flint corn was raised, the result
averaging about sixty bushels to the
acre. Another corn crop return is
that of George Davidson, OF Chinook,
who used selected white flint Montana
raised corn as seed, from which he
harvested a crop of sixty bushels to
the acre.
In THE connection it may b. re.
that many progressive ranch.
ers believe that Montana raised seed
is superior 10 many respects to that
produced elsewhere-that it germin-
ates 0 readily, is more hardy, and
has early ripening qualities that make
it preferable. These features of the
corn growing industry may be worthy
of consideration by those who pro-.
pose to engage In it.
