that more than $4,000 persons have
filed npon homesteads in the last
twenty months. The number of ac-

Montana is indicated in the state
ment that five years ago the average
value of these lands was So All acre,
whereas at the present time the av-
erage value is $40. John +. Burns,
secretary of the dry farming con-
gress, has been making some figures
on the situation. He estimates that,
as a result OF the twenty months ac-
tivity in home stealing, the pOpu-
lation of Montana has been increased
at least 80, 900 and that the taxable
value of the state has been increased
by mole than $40, OOO. 900.
.When it is remembered that Mon
tana is only one of the several states
in which large tracts of land have
been opened to settlement in the last
year ortwo, 1t will be realized that
the public domain is vanishing at
tremendous rate. Practically all this
Montana land is available only for
dry farming. The rush for it is one
Of the most convincing proofs that
the backto-tlie-land propaganda is
having it's effect. Montana is a large
state. and is sparsely populated, but
new towns are springing up like
magic Oh the plains in the eastern
and northern sections as the home
steads are being taken up, and thriv-
ing communities now exist on what
was barren waste two years ago.
Manifestly there are some millions
OF people in the United States who
are possessed Of a desire to own land.
"lrrigatiOn is fast redeeming the
desert lands Of the west and dry

are not available for irrigation. 1t

doubt will fight it out, and millions
of Montana idle acres will be made
permanently productive.
"A rush like that to Montana in
the last twenty months might cause
undue crow,ling in some Of the small
er states, but Montana can stand Il
great deal OF it. Montana is about
four times bigger than Kentucky,
and it's entire population ten years
ago was less than 25N, 900.

being attractive to eastern settlers is
that in the dry farming sections the

Though they stood apart from
those who advocated woman's ad-
vancement, they were pioneers in
breaking down the barriers against
the sex in Literature, in protesting
against the tendency of the age "to
breed women low" and in making
a tentative step for higher education.

Johnson believes that the next big

by the machine bosses because he

A Needless Expense.

II Is TO be hoped that Governor
Haskell Will not call an extra session
of the legislature to take steps about
capital location.
The regular session of the legisla-
ture will begin in January There is
no occasion, consequently, for the ex-
pense of an extra session.
As a matter of fact, aside from the
expenditure of Mr.. Putnam and asso-
ciates. there is no occasion for any
body tearing his shirt over the fact
that the capital remains at Guthrie
until changed by law.
The Oklah0man article this morning
70 The effect that there is now mo
seat of government" is a glaring mis-
statement of the decision Of the SUI
preme court All Of the judges ex-
eept one held that the enabling act
is not solemn compact, which the
state can not alter by law. Justice
Kane regards it as binding.
The supreme court held that the
ballot of the initiative proposal was
fatally defective. through emitting the
words shall it be adopted" Justice
Hayes found further fault with the
complicated language OF the proposal
we thought we voted on June II.
But the injunction granted by Judge
Huston was sustained The state Of
fioials were ordered to retain their OF
fices at Guthrie, which remains the
