UNIQUE DECORATIONS.
Window Displays Made Especially
Attractive by Original Drawings
by Phil HeXom.

The store window of ]. c. HeXom
& Son has a very attractive and
original window decoration this
week. AS a background tC a dis
play of shoes, there is a splendid
pen and ink drawing of the Copper
Greek basin, in the Cascade noun
tains, Washington, drawn, of course,
by the junior member OF the firm,
Mr.. Phil HeXom. 1t is a sketch of
the view near where he camped
couple of years ago, while in the
west. There is also water color
drawing of Siwash Tyee, a typical
redskin, and a pair of Indian snow
shoes, which he got from the Koo-
tenai Indians in northern Idaho.
We call your attention also TO the
drawing of the bucking broncho,
which appears in the firms adver-
tisement this week. All of these
show the exquisite artistic taste of
Mr. Hexom, a quality which be-
speaks the natural artist.

Roosevelt's One Supreme Talent.

ROOSeVeIt'S One supreme IalShl'
A man who has filled thirty years
of maturity with such varied social
and political activity as Mr.. Roose-
welt has shown can hardly turn in
any direction without meeting with
pleasant reminders of friendships
and associations that give enrich
ment to life. 1t is a favorite idea
of one of our most talented con-
temporary philosophers that few
people make effective use of more
than a very small percentage of
their power to acquire and TO
achieve. Mr.. Roosevelt's supreme
talent has simply been the gift OF
will power enough to cultivate and
develop such talents and opportun-
tiles as had been vouchsafed him.
This is the real lesson that his
career thus far ought to teach the
average young American. He was
plucky and did his best, beginning

FINE CROPS IN
THIS VICINITY

Great Falls Tribune: $. j. Small
Of the real estate firm Of Small 4
Walker Of Great Falls, Geyser and
Judith Gap, arrived in the city yes
terday. Mr.. Small has recently made
an extern led visit through the Judith
Basin and reports that crops are look
ing better now than they did at this
time last year, and he firmly believes
that this years yield will be even
larger than the phenomenal yield of
last year in the basin and gap coun-
try.
Twelve steam plows have been busy
all spring in the vicinity of Judith
Gap and IL tremendous amount Of raw
prairie has been broken and a large
portion Of it put into spring crops
flax, oats. barley and wheat-accord-
ing to Mr.. Small. From Hedgesvllle,
south of the Snowy mountains, all
the way to Great Falls, distance of
l4Omiles, there are thousands OF acres
Mnder cultivation, and with the album
dant PRECIPITATION that has fallen, Won
derful crops are assured. All this
vast country is tributary to Great
Falls and most of the crops raised
should come to this city this fall.
Only about five per cent Of this terri
tory IS under cultivation, and when
this fertile soil is all producing it will
give tremendous impetus to the bust
ness activities of this city. Mr.. Small
predicts that Great Falls will be II
city of 100, 900 population within ten
! years.
Small Il Walker control the only
! large tract of fine farm lands left in
/ the Judith basin. 1t is located in the
vicinity of Geyser and Spionkop, the
richest portion Of the basin, where
the rainfall has been sufficient for the
last % years to mature crops in album
dance. They report the sale of this
tract goin: at a very satisfactory rate,
prices ranging from $50 to s47..O.
The entire tract lies close in to two
good markets and this firm confident
ly believes that prices will advance
to STD an acre before the first Of No
vember of this year. while next year
the 500 mark will be reached. rs it
was in Il transaction near Moore dur
ing the past week.
Mr.. Small. at the present time. is
located at Judith Gap. being townsite
agent for the Great Northern railway.
He is also retailing Il 30, OOO-acre tract
for the Cottonwood Coal company, Il
subsidiary company OF the Great
Northern railway, which tract lies III

menal success in dispensing of this

THE NAMING OF THE JUDITH.

The following quotation from Mrs.
Eva Emery Dyes story of the Lewis
and Clarke expedition. 1.-The Con-
quest" gives the origin of the name
Judith, SO far as 1t is connected with
central Montana. The story is, that
Lewis and Clarke were ascending the
Missouri river on the twenty-siNth
day of May, 1904, and as they were
towing theiy boats along the shore,
they came to 4 place where ''leaping
out of the mountains. came down Il

WOlld become his wife, or that the
verdant Judith Basin would be the
last retreat OF the buffalo? Big horn
ed mountain sheep were sporting on
the cliffs, beavers built their dams
along its shores, and up the Judith
Cap the buffalo had his mountain
home. The Indian, too, had left there
the scattered embers OF hundred
fires.

among the important agricultural
states.
TO those who have not closely fol-
lowed the trend OF things in the devel-
Opment of our agricultural resources,
it may be somewhat surprising to in
corporate here the figures Of the fed
eral department Of agriculture rela-
tive to the winter wheat crop af this
state. The Department. preliminary
estimate Of the area sown to winter
wheat III Montana is 3O4 900 acres,
and in the matter of the condition OF
the crop OH the first Of December a
percentage of 90 is shown. More than
300 900 acres OF winter wheat-not an
extremely large area it is true, but
this is only the beginning of Montana's
growth in agriculture.
AS bearing upon the statement re-
ga:ding generous yields here, the fed
eral department Of agriculture may
again be quoted. The statistics show
that Montana, i'm the matter of yield
per acre, heads the list of spring
wheat states, having an average of
2S.s bushels per acre-leading Idaho,
next in the list, by 2.S bushels per
acre. 1t is, of course. difficult to Sc
cure reliable Figures regarding Mon
tana's status in agriculture, rs SO
much Of her development in this re-
gard has come ssnce the taking OF the
last census. The 1910 census should,
therefore, be one of great interest to
| this state, and one is safe in the pre-
diction that the statistics there to be
| given will place Montana and lter pos
| sibilities in most enviable light before
/ the people of Tive outside world.
! There is n0 better evidence Of the
! awakening Of the fasteners to the
advantages here than the continuous
! incoming of settlers and the very
large volume of inquiries being con-
| stantly received in every quarter Of
i the state from those who wish to leave
| their old eastern farms and secure
land in Montana. Some are disposed
to smile over the term Land hunger.
but it seems no more lifting words
could be applied to the desire that
seems to possess thousands of men
in the older states. These thousands
want to make new homes in u land
where the soil promises greater re-
ward for their toll. Montana has the
soil, millions of acres of it: the result
is by no means difficult to fOresee.
Montana will get the settlers. and the
settlers will get the returns. Final
result: \ happy combination that
must work to the everlasting good of
the state and her people.
\ satisfied settler is the best adver-
tisement we can secure; therefore, the
people Of Montana will give warm
welcome to the homeseeker and en-
tend to him. out of their rich expert
ence, any needed assistance that may
enable him most quickly to adapt
himself to the new conditions and Sc.
cure for himself the richest rewards
for his labors.
