E. G. KINNEY DIES
Noted Engineer Passes Away in
Bozeman- Well Known
in HarloWton.

Bozeman, Jan. 16.-After a long
and determined struggle with the in
evitable, Edward Cornelius Kinney
passed away at his home on South
Third Avenue at 1:30 this morning
The cause of death was brights dis
ease, from which Mr.. Kinney had
Suffered for years. During the past
three months he had been practically
an invalid in body, although not in
mind. His last weeks were cheered
by many letters and kilograms from
friends all over the Union. The end
came peacefully this morning while
he was being helped from his chair
to his bed.
Mr.. Kinney had long been promin-
ent in the state, having served. as
department commander of the Mon
tana Grand Army of the Republic
and as president of the Montana
Society of Engineers. He was always
active, energetic, loyal and progress
sive. His reputation as an engineer
of high rank extends all over the
United States. Among the more i'm
portant monument to his creative
genius are High bridge at Des Moines,
Iowa, and Highway bridge over the
Black river at Elyria, Ohio, the lat
ter being the third boldest span in
the United States at that time and
which has attracted attention from
leading European engineers.
Mr. Kinney was the youngest son
of Daniel B. and Betsy Matthews
Kinney and was born in Oberlin
Ohio, February p, 1845. His parents
had come to that place about ten
years earlier from Vermont having
made the trip through the wilderness
for considerable part of the way
The son received his education in the
Oberlin school and in 1862 was at
tending Oberlin college. At this
time he enlisted in the l33d Ohio
volunteer infantry and served witt
it until the close of the war. Or
his return from the war Mr.. Kinney
took up the study of engineering anC
embarked upon that profession ir
1868 as civil engineer on the Missouri
Pacific.

MONTANA RY. SN0W-B0UND
.Lewistown Isolated for Three Days
Many Passengers MaroOned
at HarI0Wt0n.

On Wednesday Of this week Lewis
three days, this was owing to the
heavy snow and blizZards near Judith
Gap. The cuts had all been filled up
and until the wind had abated it was
impossible for the trains to get thru.
On Wednesday the rotary plow,
which has been held in the local
yards since the last time that the
Montana road had been snow-bound,
was sent out, and had no trouble in
cutting its way through the large
drifts. Nearly hundred passengers
were stalled here during that time
waiting to 90 to LewistOwn.

C0L0NIZING LAND
10000 Acres Known as Duffy Ranch is Now
Being Cut Into Small Tracts and
Placed on the Market.

A company known as the Ameri-
can Fork Valley Farms, which is
comprised of Tooley, Baxter, Tice and
Robertson, is now working on col
onizing scheme, which will prove a
great benefit to this city. This COM
pany has taken over the Duffy ranch
which lies in Sweet Grass county
about nine miles south of Harlowton.
The ranch consists of 10000 acres of
fertile bench and irrigated lands.
1t is the intention of the new COM
pany to cut this large tract up into
smaller tracts and then sell it out to
the actual farmer. In fact that is
what they are already doing, having
up to this time disposed of over one.
third of the entire ranch. Adolph
Gortemaller from Helena has been
hired by this company to represent
them as their agent. Mr.. Gortemaller
will open up an office in Harlowton by
about March lst, and will make this
place the headquarters for the colon
izing company.
Last year this enterprising land
company planted some fall wheat on
this ranch, but since their. time was
taken up by their many other busi-
ness interests, they were unable to
give the proper attention and follow
the scientific mot hodS of farnipr
The wheat went at an average of %
bushels to the acre, and with the
proper methods of farming, it would
have gone over forty. This demon
strates the fertility of the soil on the
Duffy ranch.

A mass meeting of the business
men and citizens of Harlowton will
be held in the Odd Fellows Hall, in
the McQuitty Block next Monday
night, some matters of interest to
the town and community will be
discussed, and definite action on sew
eral projects will be taken.
For several months the business
mons association has boon inactive
owing to adverse circumstances, but
for the balance of the winter season,
it promises to awake from it's dormant
state and assume a spirit of activity.
1t is probably that at the meeting
next Monday night the association
will be entirely reorganized with new
officers and another constitution. If
this is effected, the new organiza.
tion will be confronted with abund-
ance of work as there are many pro-
jects to be advanced and boosted.
Among other matter of interest
that will come up for discussion and
detinate action Monday evening, is
the matter of promoting the expert
mental station, which the Milwaukee
road is planning to establish in the
vicinity of Harlowton. The railroad
company is willing to do it's share
toward building and maintaining an
experimental farm here, but the cit
liens must put their shoulders to the
wheel and help.
Money has been already appropriate
ed by the company for this laudable
purpose, and the time is now ripe for
the citizens of HarloWton to put in
their little boost for worthy cause.
1t is likely that tract of land will
be donated for the experimental farm,
and with what aid the railroad COM
pany will give, the business men may
plan to maintain the farm.
Other propositions of equal impor-

supplies. He informs the News man
that fire started in his house in the

TO BRIDGE MUSSELSHELL
The Milwaukee Railroad to Build
a Bridge Across the River
at Ryegate.

The railroad company will start
work on bridge across the Musse!-
shell at Ryegate within a few days.
This is of great importance to that
thriving little town,,as there has al
ways been great trouble to cross
the Musselshel at this point at GER
tain times of the year, and with
heavy load it is nearly impossible at
any time of the year. This bridge
will be the only one between Harlow
ton and Lavina.

FARMING POINTERS
Says That it Does Not Pay to Hurry and That
the Worst Mistake is to Try to Raise
Crops too Soon.

year break the ground well, harrow
it and SOW in alfalfa about the last of
May. Planting eight pounds of seed
to the acre you will be surprised at
the amount of hay you will get.
"The amount of macaroni wheat
one should use in seeding ground
should be from 80 to 40 pounds to the
acre and for Canadian field peas about
30 pounds to the acre. The better
condition of the land the more seed
you should use."
Mr.. Holden says that the arid bench
lands in this locality suitable for dry
land farming are being taken up very
rapidly and that he believes a splen-
did success is going to be made here
in the future by them. The worst
trouble, he says, with the. new dry
farmers is that they try to grow crops
too soon, or before they have con-
served any moisture by scientific til
ling of the SOIL and, of course. make
failure of their crops.
The experiment. station at Bozeman
has arranged tor 80 acres of Mr.. Hol-
den's land to be titled this year under
the direction of the station and under
the supervision of Mr.. Holden. Ex-
periments will be made with various
crops that have not yet been grown
in this section.
