tans since the opening Of spring the
impression prevails in certain quar-.
tiers that the bench lands cannot be
successfully farmed. That certain
sections of Montana have been visited
with the dryest 9 eason experienced 10
thirty years is true, but this does not
mean that the bench lands of Montana
cannot be successfully farmed, nor
does it mean that good money cannot
be made from farming them.
The crops east from Glasgow TO the
Dakota line, both to the north and
south are good. The crops around
Great Falls are fair. In the Judith
basin they are excellent and in the
Lake basin country between Judith

OUR PIONEER o EN-.

A few days ago Mrs. James J. Hill
celebrated the Goth anniversary of her
entrance into Minnesota by q luncheon
at St. Paul. Little note of the incident
was made by the newspapers at the
time. 1t was an oversight of common
occurrence, for, somehow, we pay lit
tie attention to our pioneer women.
Had Mr.. Hill, known throughout Am.
erica as an empire builder, talked OF
crop conditions or of economics in
any form, the papers would have dis
played the fact as importont news In
all parts of the country. Mrs. Hill is
content, perhaps, to permit her hus.
band to remain alone in the center OF
the stage; but q woman who has lived
sixty years In one state must have
exerted q tremendous influence upon
the life about her. To what extent
M. Hill owes his remarkable career
to the woman who has been at his side
these many years we may never know,
but likely she has been of tremendous
help to him.
To the pioneer women of our own
state vi owe much, says the Butte
Intermountain. They shared in the
privation and toll of their husbands,
and although their names may appear
less frequently in the pages of u re-
corded history, we know that they had
q splendid part In the development Of
the territory. And 90 it is in any new
country. The women share In the
dangers and hardships, but receive
lees public recognition for the servi-
ces they have performed than the men
who took 9 more strenuous and spec.
tacular part in the making of their
state. Mrs. Hill, perhaps. has planned
no railroads or conceived of no great
industrial enterprises that have helped
to create an empire of the west, but
she has had full share in the life of
her community and no q can meas
ure the extent Of her influence upon
the man whose name is known in
every household of the northwest and
whose influence is worldwide. For
sixty years che has been identified
with the history of Minnesota, and as
wife and mother she has played we'll
her part in the general scheme OF
things. That she may live long and
happy is the wish of everyone.

Dixon's Eloquence Won Pension.

Senator Dixon of Montana, is an
eloquent advocate. He demonstrated
this when he obtained a pension for
two old Indian warriors ia the face of
an adverse report from the pensions

The Indians are Crows and were q
