More Settlers Coming To Montana.

More Settlers Coming To Montana.
Helena Record.
For every settler who r%elinquishes
bis homestead this fall, there will be
ten to file OF it next spring. Dry as
is Montana, compared with many
other states, the verdure in this state
is tropical. So Gays Wallace Coburn
who returned Saturday from an ex-
tended trip along the main line OF the
Great Northern.
1.-THE best illustr alton of conditions
10 Montana and conditions in other
states. was given by q Kansas man
whom I met on the trip" said Mr..
Coburn. "This Ksnsan came to Mon.
tana this spring and fled on a home.
stead on the main line OF the Great
Northern. He broke his land and put
in q crop. He vas late putting it in;
he didn't understand dry land meth
DDS and his crop withered and failed.
He bee came disguised and pulled stakes,
declaring Kansas was good enough
for him.
"When he got back to his Kansas
ranch he was astonished. He had no
crop, his fields were as bare as Main
street, and the cattle being fed hay.
There was not q blade of grass. He
thought Montana was about the limit,
but when he saw the condition existing
in Kansas he said Montana was like q
paradise. He came back here and is
going to remain.
"From what settlers told me, condi.
lions In western Kansas, in Nebraska
and other middle western states must
be terrible. They have no crops, no
grass, and nothing to feed their stock
save the hay that was put up a year
ago. These farmers will be forced to
sell their horses and their cattle for
what they will bring, as they have not
feed enough to carry them oyer the
winter. It is because of the condi.
tions in middle western states this
eason that there will be q tremendous
influx to Montana next spring. Mon
tana is dry, but not really 90 dry as
states that have long been regarded
as among the best agricultural reg.
ions of the country"

Clouds Unload Cargo Of Bugs.

A weather phenomenon that caused
astoniahment among local residents
visited this part of Montana Thurs.
day night, when q shower of bugs
came down from the clouds. The pre-.
cipitation began about IL O'Clock. and
continued only . short time. The
insects came pit-a.pat,a and pedestrians
at fret thought big drops of rain were
falling. but the electric light from
street lamps revealed q moving mass
of little black objects on the sidewalk
and streets which was becoming more
intense every second by more huge
descending from above.
Remnants of the bug storm were
being cleared away on Front street
Friday morning, employees of bust
ness houses sweeping them into heaps
on the sidewalks and %shoveling them
into the street. The insects were about
the size of peas, black in color, and
resembled little water bugs.
The original home of these insects,
how they were elevate into the clouds
and what caused their precipitation
here are subjects that must be left to
professional bugologists and weather
sharps to determine. They came from
above all right, millions OF them.
An electrical storm and a heavily
clouded sky at sunset gave promise
OF q liberal rainfall, but when bugs
came in place of the desired moisture
local residents expressed disgust with
this feature of prevailing weather
| conditions.

Co. 1 Elects Capt. IngIis.

It IS Capt. Inglis now. since the
election held by Co. II last Thursday
night. And the boys are saying
that it served him right, for Inglis Is
very much of a gentleman and there
fore possessed of one of the prime
requisites for leadership of a militia
company. Sergeant Clement re-
ceived handsome complimentary
vote. and is young enough to afford
to wait for his commission later.
The company is in excellent feeling
at this time. with dozen recruits
in sight to fill the vacancies caused
by removals. The fitting up of
their hall for basket ball and other
athletics has been boon not only
to the company but to the high
school pupils who are privileged to
practice there at stated times.

ST. PAUL LETTER.

Adam Bede breezily drifted into
town the other day and at once pro-
ceeded to liven things up, first with a
jocular reference to the insurgents
from Minnesota who were insurging
like everything until they struck a
free lunch counter at the White
House, after which the cause of the
rebellion. according to him. appear
ed to have been forgotten. Next
the Ballinger investigation was
touched upon, with some brief
biographical reference to the secre-
tary himself, who like many others.
made his own way in the world and
fought a good fight against untoward
circumstance. In view Of this and
also in view of his record as a reform
mayor ofSeattle who really did things,
Mr.. Bede will be much surprised if
after investigation Secretary Ball
niger proves anything like as black
as some people take delight in paint
ing him.

w. B. King Of Rockford. ILL.,, sent
copy of the Illinois Issue to this
office last week, containing a COM
prehensive resume of the effect of
closing the saloons in that city over
a year ago. Rockford being man
ufactusing city of over $4,000
people, the experiment of govern
ing and financing the city without
saloons was at first considered a
doubtful problem, but all accounts
quoted in the Issue point to one con-
clusion, that Rockford is better off
every way without saloons. Bank
clearings the past year We're three
and half millions more than the
previous year and million and a
half more than the year before.
which was the last full calendar
year with saloons. The Star Of
Rockford sums up some of the
points Of progress as follows: 1909
was one of the best years in the his
tory of the city d. There is en-
ployment within reach of all who
seek it. More dwellings have been
erected than in any previous year
and the great factory districts have
been added to. More new corners
have been added to the citizenship.
The municipality has expended more
money for Improvements than in
several years. Moreover the chart
table societies and the town poor
master have had less calls for assist
ance than any time within the past
decade. !" Several of our citizens
have visited Rockford the past year
and their testimony is equally con-
vincing as to the good effect on the
business Of Rockford in all lines ex-
cept saloons, of the vacating Of all
the saloons in the city.

FAREWELL TO MRS. CHAMBERS.

On Tuesday of last week the MEM
bers Of the Woman's Club were
most pleasantly entertained at the
home of Mrs. S. G. Peterson, the
occasion being farewell party in
honor of one Of its members, Mrs.
Chambers.
The afternoon was spent with
needlework and in the enjoyment of
varied program Of entertainment
previously arranged by the social
committee.
AT six o clock, the hostess, attired
in the picturesque Danish national
costume. served a three-course Dam
ish dinner, in recognition Of the So
cial customs of Denmark, that coun-
try being included in the clubs tin
erary Of travel study this year.
The thorough enjoyment of the
dinner by the guests attested their
appreciation of their hostess eff
ciency as a cook, and Of Danish cook
cry. The menu cards were beauti-
fully written in the Danish language,
which caused considerable specula-
ton previous to the substantial in
depreciation. Floral decorations
were white hyacinths. At the con-
clusion of dinner, before the regular
study program for the evening was
taken up the guest of honor was
given shower Of Redwood souvenir
postals.
In a few remarks the president.
Mrs. Dornberg, voiced the senti.
ments Of the club members in ex-
pressing their appreciation of the
faithful and helpful work of Mrs.
Chambers and their sincere good
wishes that will follow her to her
new home, to which Mrs. Chambers
appropriately responded.
A vote of thanks was extended to
Mrs. Peterson for her hospitality
and delightful entertainment, which
will be remembered by the club as
one Of its most pleasant social oc-
casions.
