Three Well-Known Local Business
Men Purchase Fifty Acre Tract
of Land From Frank Day.
Make GOOD PARK OFFER
N. ]. Littlejohn, o. w. Belden and
]. E. Lane Make Tender Which
Will Probably Be Accepted.

What may be considered record
deal in city realty was closed last
week when o. w. Belden, J. E. Lane
and N. J. Littlejohn purchased OF
Frank Day about ffty-fve acres of
land, including all of that portion Of
the famous Day meadow lying inside
the railroad track which skirts the
upper end of the city. A portion of
this tract lies within the city limits
while the greater part is just without
the borders of the municipality. The
price paid was $500 per acre.
Will Subdivide Into Lots.
The big tract will be subdivided at
once into hundreds of town lots and
it is the intention to call it the Park
Addition. The name grows out of
the fact that the purchasers expect
to close deal with the city authori-
ties for the sale of portion of the
tract, not less than FIVE acres, to be
used for park purposes. 1t is be-
lieved that the tender which Messrs.
Lane, Littlejohn and Belden will
make to the city will be of such a
liberal nature as to price and terms
of payment as to insure its accept
ance.
The neonle Of T T.ewistown have been
agitating the public park proposition
for number of years and this looks
to be the opportunity to have their
desires in that direction grati6ed.

tically all of the land is perfectly

full residence lots. With the rapid
growth in population assured for

Nearly Sixty Thousand Acres Of
State Land in Fergus County
Will Go On the Block.
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN
Every Indication That Sale Will Net
the State Over Three Quarters
of Million Dollars.

On another page of the Dem ocrat
this week appears the description and
appraised valuations OF the lands
which the state will sell in this city
On Wednesday, April 9th, together
with the terms under which these
lands may be purchased The ag-
gregate of all the tracts advertised for
sale is more than ffty-fve thousand
acres and the average appraised val
uation is between $l2 nd SIS per acre.
Judging from the interest which is
being taken in the proposed sale, the
state school fund will realize a sum
between three-quarters of million
and one million dollars for this big
slice of state domain.
Expect Some Lively Bidding.
The members of the state land
board expect some spirited bidding
for many of the choice tracts put up.
OF the four hundred odd tracts ad-
vertised some Of the most desirable
agricultural land to be found in the
entire state of Montana is included.
In fact, there is very little stuff to
be found in the list.
The Democrat is daily receiving
orders for extra copies of the paper
during the time that this ADVERTISE
ment is to run Many of these re.
quests come from people and firms re-
siding in remote sections of this state
and in other states, thus indicating
the widespread interest which Judith

THE cow.

The dairy COW, if able to express
herself in way which the human
family would comprehend, might we'll
lay claim to being mans best friend.
She might establish such a claim by
calling attention to the fact that from
her product and from her carcass man
manufactures more of the necessities
Of life than from any other similar
source. She furnishes these neces-
sites to him from infancy until such
a time as temporal things are no long
er associated with his existence, and
she does it ungrudgingly and con-
stantly.
In addition to contributing to mans
necessity and his pleasure, the pros
perity of an agricultural community
is more closely identified with her
than with any other of the domestic
in tilling the soil but where necessity
requires it the sturdy son of the COW
can take his place, as he has done in
every agricultural section of the
earth. The horse can only furnish
labor and can only return a profit to
his owner when conditions are right
for returning satisfactory grain crops.
1t is we'll known fact that the dairy
COW is the salvation of the farmer in
times of poor crops as she is able to
convert the rough crops, which aref
never total failure, into dairy pro-
ducts, always have cash value.
In addition to this she furnishes
skim milk and buttermilk for the
calves, pigs and poultry and fertility
for the soil, without which a farm be-
comes less valuable each year aud
the whole country less prosperous.
The elimination of the dairy COW
would necessitate an almost revOlu-
tionary readjustment of mans tastes
and requirements. 1t would mean I'M
told suffering and hardship. Of
course she will not be dispensed with
but her value can perhaps best be ap-
preciated by contemplating such a
loss. ~
She will continue to be mans best
friend as long as the human family.
exists and will keep on supplying
him with his greatest needs, just as
she has done thru all the ages.
