MONTANA LAND
SALES HIGHEST

A statement submitted by F. H.
Ray, register of the Montana land
office, to Governor Edwin l.. Norris
discloses the fact that during the
fiscal year just ended, land sales
held in the different counties of the
state have resulted in the DISPOSE
ton of 142,339 acres of state land,
from which the state realized 81
1912. This records the best pre-
vious showing by 1000 acres, and
$1,955,569 in money comparison.
The land purchasers of this land
will utilize it for agricultural pur-
poses principally, although a small
portion of it will make ideal fruit
land. The land thus disposed of by
the state is situated in various parts
of Montana, but a scrutiny of the
report shows that Fergus county
heads the 1910 list with a total re-
venue of $1,211.687 from the sale
of state lands in that county alone.
The average selling price for the
entire state was 1920, while the
47,346 acres sold in Fergus county
brought an average of $3.50. No

there will be no dickering with Mr.

that the coming primaries will make

regulars make that issue the basis for
their battle in the convention they
will .he-heaten. More than that. Mr..
Griscom thinks that if circumstances
should lead to a vote between Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. sherman the old
guards candidate would be beaten
badly. MIR. Griscom in fact thinks
that Mr.. Sherman's name will not

leans county instructinE it's delegates
to the State convention to vote for
the election of Roosevelt as the tenn
porary chairman of the convention.
This proceeding was unusual because
so far as is known there is no pre-
cedent for county convention di-
recting its delegates as to how they
should vote on such a question as
the naming Of temporary chairman.
The result of the county conven-
ton in Orleans" Mr.. Griscom said
yesterday. shows how the Republi-
cans OF the State feel in the present
contest. The news from Orleans will
ring from one end Of the state to
the other and will stir Republicans
in every part of the State. II will
be followed soon by other victories

and Roosevelt"
Mr.. Griscom added that he was re-
ceiving daily from every corner of
the State communications from in
iuential Republicans urging him to
continue his fight on the old guard

cient number of delegates in the
