"A Trip over a large part OF the
valley during the present week
has revealed the fact that the
farmers are in the midst of the
1911 harvest. Haying has been
in progress for several days and
the cropis a bountiful one. From
the timothy meadows is being
garnered the heaviest hay grown
in the valley for some years past,
while the wild hay and clover
has never been excelled. AL
most every farmer and home
steader will have one or more
stacks, whereas a year ago the
entire supply was to be found Or
a few of the older ranches skirt
ing the mountains.
The grain harvest will begin
early next week, the barley and
fall wheat coming first on the
list. The winter wheat crop is
simply immense and the yields
promise to establish new records.
Selected pieces are to be found
that will certainly go above GO
bushels to the acre while the es-
timated average for the entire
valley is placed conservatively at
80 bushels. And the barley crop
is not at all behind and will fill
many grainary bin to overflow
ing. Spring wheat and oats are
not yet ready for the harvester
but by the time the fall wheat
and barley harvest is over it is
predicted that the spring grain
will be ready. And the yield of
these will also be on the bumper
order, especially so in all cases
where the seed was sown early.
That the production of the val
ley will be something enormous
is now an assured fact, and the
quality of the grain will be in
keeping with the quantity
No. l. The task Of marketing this
bumper crop will be a great one
and is now receiving the serious
consideration of the farmers and
merchants of Roman. Grain
buyers will be on the ground
looking for the crop and the
farmer is assured OF healthy COM
petition, thus assuring the top
prices.
One of the gratifying features
of the abundant yield and har-
vest is the fact that the crop is
not the product of only a few
ranchers. While there are a few
growers who have an enormous
acreage, still it is true that prac-
tically every homesteader on the
reservation, or at least in the
country tributary to Roman, has
raised enough grain for his own
use and some to spare. This con-
dition indicates that prosperity
is sure to held sway in the Flat
head country for the coming
twelve months and that feeling
is already noticeable in all lines
of business.

saw were surprising to them.
Some communities are little
particular about receiving dona-
tioLs for public purposes. Take
for instance Wisconsin. Recent
Iy Senator Stephenson offered to
donate money to furnish a public
park and make it pleasant place
IN which to spend the warm days
OF summer. The recent expos
ure Of the manner in which he
had acquired his seat in congress
mas given rise to the question as
to whether or not his money was
tainted, and to be on the safe
side the offer was declined. 1t
may be that the tainted money"
was one reason but it would ap-
pear more logical to believe that
the otter of money was refused
more as a refusal to be further
blibed than from fear of the
taint on the money. Good for
the stamina of the community
which said mo- to such a method
of stemming public sentiment.
There seems to be some cause
to believe that Missoula intends
to purge itself of the disgraceful
cribs which are a source of
expense and shame to that city.
Under the initiative of the
sentinel, and as it is generally
understood, under promises made
to the people before election,
Mayor John M. Evans, has
come out strong for the clos
Ing up OF these crime producing
resorts. 1t is said thatfully
~ per cent of the crimes COM
mltLed in Missoula are directly
traceable to the inmates of
these places. With such re-
cord, it is high time that some
action was taken looking to the
purging of Missoula of such a
citizenship. 1t will be we'll for
the smaller places around Mis-
soula, and this includes Roman,

Webber said while here that she

on the rich territory surrounding

Il was also privileged to get a
.glimpse Of the demonstration
Messrs. Thornburg and Stanley
Scearce are making as to the
fruit growing possibilities of the
bench lands along the foothills
Of the Mission range. Pm strong

hazard the guess right here that
the 1900 fruit trees they have
had the business sagacity to
plant iii that favored locality will
prove but a forerunner of a
mighty continuous performance
orchard fringing the valley for
twenty Or thirty miles from Ro-
nan. That is bound to be the
splendid fate in store for the
bench lands. One look at that
marvellously fertile deep black
loam with plenty Of water to
back it is proof positive of this
statement. If any proof further
is sought all that one needs to do
is to have a look at the neglected
trees that have reached their
full maturity on adjoining tracts.
Without any attention whatever
for years, without irrigation,
pruning, cultivation, supports for
the branches, or the other innum-
cradle aids that make fruit trees
thrive, these wayward trees are
already groaning under the pomo-
logical wealth with which their
branches are heavily laden.
Think Of the possibilities where
advanced horticultural ideas are
applied, as will be the case on the
Scarce -Thornburgh tract. So,
I say, wheat is great-wheat
is king-but don't overlook the
fact that the apple has also been
crowned elsewhere and that while
agriculture will probably always
be the dominant interest of the
valley, the pippin ere long will be
the prince consort.
1--WE inspected all the famous
apple growing districts of the
west. For the life of me l can't
see where they possess any
natural advantages over this Sec
tion in that respect.
II might go on and inumerate
all the other resources with
which this favored land has been
so richly endowed. But your
people are already sufficiently
familiar with the assets of a land
that is truly Gods country, with
out need Of pointers from an
outsider. One day, l believe,
those mountains will give up a
vast horde of mineral wealth.
They will also furnish a vast
water power now going to waste,
for which plenty Of use will be
found with the expanding en-
ergies of your people.
"Yes, you need a railroad, but
please remember you are only a

try all the time in search of tom

grain fields alone are now giving

wake up one Of these fine days

Knappen and his wife were de-
lighted with Roman and the peo-
pie here, and were very sorry
they could not remain longer.
They made warm friends during
their short stay and when they
come again will be heartily well
coined. MIR. Knappen said:
" Roman is a gem of western

golden grain. Judging from all
appearances the metal in this
ring is "a carats pure and the re-

is no joke although it appears to
have been diagramed.) And that
leads me to speak of the noun
tains. To quote a young lady
literary tourist from Kalamazoo
who sat enraptured on the front
veranda of the Sterling hotel
mirrored the majestic skyline of
the top of the earth in the liquid
depths of her sparkling orbs-
"aint they grand?" Why, they
are a tremendous asset in them

I can easily discern the not far
distant time when the tourist

Lake Mcdonald and turn a golden
stream of wealth into the pockets
of Roman merchants.
