A Big Land Office Business.
Great Falls Leader

During the month of November. &C.
cording TO the report which Register
Barnes and Receiver Wilson, Of the
local land Office, are preparing, there
we're 232 filings made in that Office. IL
other words 232 new farmers came to
Montana and to Great Falls, and 232
new farms were started during the
past month in the Great Falls land
district. That is an average of almos,
eight filings per day-a record which
it is believed no other land Office ia
the country can equal. Eicht filings
in q day would be considered land
rush in most land offices, but eigh,
filings is almost the minimum made in
any one day in the local land Office
during the year.
Since January l. 1910, there have
been made in the Great Falls land Of
fee 5000 filings-almost 10000 new
farmers in this section of Montana In
IL months. That is an average of %
filings per day. OF course the larger
part of these filings were made pre-
vious to May l. Up to that time 8. 1927
filings had been made dating from
January l. But since that date the
Office has had steady stream of ap.
plicants coming to the counter.
Throughout the summer from II to IA
filings were made each day.
In the past IS months, that is since
January l, l908-a period of almost
three years-oyer $4,000 filings have
been made in the local land Office.
That is at the rate of 1000 per year.
These figures will give some idea of
how rapidly northern Montana and
especially the section around Great
Falls is developing agriculturally. 1t
has undoubtedly had q more rapid in
fux of settlers iu the past three years
than any other section of the state.

Head Of Rock Island.
The doors of the Office of pres
ident of the Rock Island Rail
road have just swung open to a
new man who entered quietly,
took off his coat, and went to
work. This man, Henry U.

Office, having been second vice.
president of the system for
some time, but the whole rail
road was tip toe, nevertheless,
to know what his policy would
be as head of the property.
Mr.. Nudge dismissed specula-

would be run as railroad. The

There are no two opinions as to
the beauty of the memorial, for ad-
verse criticism has to do only with
detail. The omission of the military
hat is explained by those who know
the artists views by the statement
that Wallace is not on the field or at
the head of HIS troops, but may be de-
sorfbed as having Just emerged from

tened. He is erect in posture and
