Looking to The Future

Many house keepers are putting up
unusual quantities of fruit, because
next year may bring less fruit, and
the properly canned fruit will keep
several years. Judging from the ap.
pearance of vines and trees, the year
1911 promises to be record-breaker.
The late apples promise a tremendous
crop.

OUR MONTANA EXPERIENCE.

How many of you farmers, renters
and investors have ever heard of the
famous Judith Basin and Musselshell
Valley Bench lands. in Central Mon
tant? We are confident there are
very few of you. We ourselves were
in ignorance of this, the greatest ag-
ricultural district in the United States
or Canada. until we recently spent
several weeks travelling over the great
State of Montana and visited Fergus
County, in which are located the Mus
selshell Valley and Judith Basin.
In all our real estate experience
which covers the greater part of the
United States and Canada, we never
saw such sight as the grain and al
falfa fields of the Judith Basin and
tributary valleys.
We thought we had seen the great,
est grain fields in the world when We
saw the Saskatchewan wheat fields,
but we had to take off our hats when
we saw the Judith Basin. Take 1910
for an example, when the Northwest
generally had light grain crop. We
found upon investigation that the av.
erage yields of fall wheat of twenty
six farmers was SO bu. per acre. Sew
enteen farmers averaged 70 Blu. of
oats per acre individual yields OF
wheat SO blu. and oats 1913 bu.) Six
farmers averaged 4S3 bu of potatoes,
while one farmer made the enormous
yield of 600 bushels. We have the
names of every one of these farmers,
who will vouch for these statements,
large as they may seem to you, so
that you can verify them. In add,
ton to these, barley made from 40 to
IS bu., rye % to 80 bu., spells A to
| rs bu., and fax Is to 25 bu. Timothy
and clover made three tons and over
per acre, and alfalfa from to 4 tons
per acre, while the alfalfa seed brought
these farmers from $50 to $50 per
acre. (Wonder how these yields
sound to the Herald in comparison
with our high priced Iowa land yields. }
Now note this fact. These crops
are produced without irrigation. Not
another drop of water except what fell
from the heavens direct, and this
season these large yields are even ex,
celled.
| Now, these statements are simply
plain facts, and because of these facts,
the land in the Judith Basin will sell
for higher prices in ten years than
our high priced Iowa land. You can
buy this land improved and unim.
proved for $500 to $4,000 per acre,
on reasonable terms, and raw land in
the tributary valleys, equal to the Ba,
sin land, at $500 to $1,000 per acre.
In the Judith Basin land could have
been homesteaded years ago. How
is that for land values advancing, and
Is there any reason why renters and
others who can not buy the high.
priced Iowa land, should remain rent
ers all their lives?
II the above is of interest to you
we would be glad to have you call at
our Office on High Ave, over Pixies
Drug Store, and see samples of these
grains and grasses, and get our rates.
We have excursions every Tuesday in
the month at Homeseekers' rates, and
If you decide to go and see the great.
est agricultural district in the world,
we will verify every statement made,
by introducing you to- these same far.
mers, who, by the way, are nearly all
from Iowa and Illinois.
Yours truly.

WOMEN OBJECT
TO MORMON GIFT

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE in
tention of the Mormons to present to
the battleship Utah, soon to be launch
ed, silver tray bearing the figure of
Brigham Young and the Mormon tenn
pie, has aroused a protest by the non
Mormons of Utah. They have offered
a silver tray, but with a patriotic de-
sign.
Protests against the Mormon gift
have been made to Secretary Meyer.
Mrs. Erna Won r. Owen is chairman
of the committee of presentation and
among other members are Helen Mil
Ter Gould and Mrs. Donald Mclean.
The committee sent a letter to Sec
rotary Meyer, saying in part:
I'VE beg of you to bear in mind that
while the presentation of a silver SER
vice to the United States battleship
Utah may be a state affair, the ac-
ceptance of it is national affair. We
most earnestly urge that the patriot
ism and decency of citizens of the
United States should not be outraged
and insulted by eXaltation of the men,
DRY of such a man as Brigham Young"

were today ordered from New York
to San Francisco to do what they can
to get rid Of the tea congestion in the
customhouse at that port.
They will apply the tests prescrib-
ed by Assistant Secretary Curtis to
determine rhether the tea has been
colored or faced" Every pound that
has been doctored in any way will
nave to 60 back to China, even if such
expectation causes tea prices in this
country to soar.
After getting rid of the tea in San
Francisco the two experts will give
attention to the imports at other Pa
cine Coast ports. Secretary Mac
Veagh will not listen to any pror osals
looking to the landing of the tea and
sale under labels setting forth that #
has been artifcially colored.

lief that it can secure the best oper-
ating force for the canal among the
workers now employed on the canal.
High wages were paid at the outset.
when it was difficult to obtain men on
account of the bad reputation of the
country and the temporary character
of the employment. But the Commits
sion contended that as the death rate
on the zone is much lower than for
most parts of the United States, and
as the operating work will be perma-
nent, a much lower wage scale can be
adopted. The Commission regarded
it as essential that the cost of oper-
alton shall be reduced to a minimum
consistent with efficiency, if reason
able tolls are to be established.
The total outlay for maintaining the
canal will be for wages of the oper-
ative force, engineering work, santa
ton and civil administration. The
Commission was insistent that the
revenue of the canal should go to pay
not only the operating expenses, but
to repay the capital invested. Every
legitimate means for raising revenue
should be adopted, said the report,
which recommended that the govern
ment should not only supply coal and
oil for its own vessels, but should sell
them to merchant shipping. The ex-
listing commissary, manufacturing
plant and laundry, it was urged, should
be continued for the benefit of gov
eminent forces, and government own
ership of public utilities was proposed
in recommendation that the COM
missary furnish all these things to
shipping passing through the canal
for a consideration. 1t was suggested
that the government should sell tools
and appliances needed by ships, and
still another forward movement,
should actually undertake to dock and
repair ships in the neighborhood of
the canal. For that purpose the con-
struction of a drydock and a machine
shop was recommended; and it was
pointed out that these would be avail
able for the use 0, our navy. A wire
less station for naval and commercial
use was another adjunct required
The Commission has given much
thought to the disposition of land in
the canal zone, important because of
its bearing upon the future admins
traton of the zone and the operation
of the canal. OF the 4S6 square miles
of land in the zone, the government
owns 1863, of which ninety-six miles
are occupied by the canal. A large
part of the government land will be

required Tor military, naval and Other
Official purposes. It was deemed es
sential that the Spanish law shall con
tinue to prevail to prevent friction
with the neighboring Panamaians in
the cities Of Panama and Colon.
Get Rid Of Aliens.
Most of the land is unsuitable for
extensive farming enterprises, and the
inducements are not such as would at.
tract American farmers, owing to the
difficulties in obtaining title and the
peculiarities of the Spanish system of
, taxation, which must be continued.
Other occupants than Americans are
not desirable. The Commission wants
to get rid of the great body of for
eign laborers who were imported to
dig the canal as soon as the work
is completed. They now populate the
established townsites, and the Com
mission declared that they should be
repatriated after work no longer can
be given them. 1t was stated that
the greater the amount of land leased
and the number of townsites estab-
lished and occupied, the greater will
be the cost of sanitation and civil gov
eminent
The report declared that for several.
years to come, at least, it should be
the policy to keep all government
lands for government purposes. What
ever military force is located on the
Isthmus viii be charged with it's own
sanitation. The reservation of all
lands for government use would re.
suit, therefore, in minimum cost for
these two items.
AS to the form of government for
the zone the Commission directed spe-
cial attention to the military necessi-
ties, the canal being deemed a mill
tary asset
In conclusion, the Commission holds
it essential that an entity be estab-
lished, so organized that any military
contingency can be promptly met
1t was recommended that congress
authorize the canal management to
pay damages to vessels injured in
passage, inasmuch as this government
must insist on taking complete charge
of all vessels during that transit to
guard against injury to the locks.
