FRUIT LANDS.

1t would he misleading t. state that
fruit may be grown all over tn Mis-
ion valley. Good ju ges think not, but
they do agree that if the higher bench
lands are taken along the base Of the
Mission Range, apple lands re admit
teddy the most productive lands in tie
world. In the sema- kabie fruit regions
of the Pacific Northwest. NO land has
ever deteciorated nvalue but has doub-
led and quadrupled and is still rapidly
advancing. These values are based on
sound, economic principles. The total
production of apples in the United
States in 1896 was g. million barrels;
for the past five years the average pro-
duction has been ~ million barrels. The
markets of the world are under sup
piled and no fears of over productions
need be entertained.
The Bitter Root valley in Montana is
Justly famous for its fruit and thatv val
ley is our ne;ghbor on the south, only
fifteen miles away, and the conditions
as to soil, elm ate and cultivation are
identical except that the Mission valley
has the advantage of being 500 feet
lower than the other valley. The Kali
spell country, lannon's prize winning
section, adjoins us on the north, being
the northern portion of the original res.
evation and lying in the same great
Fleathead valley. The Mission valley
is the connecting geographical link be-
tween these two Sc ctions End III re g
not single comm ercia! orchard in this
valley. That is just what creates the
present opportunity. Land values are
what they were in the other valleys
twenty years ago; six or eight years
hence values will be what they now are
in the older valleys. The difference is
yours, or will be if you get the land
soon. The Mission valley has all the
natural advantages of the two older adj
joining valleys, with lower altitude
than either and it Is certainly safe and
to expect the same or better
results to be secured here. /

LEASING INDIAN LANDS

I The greater part or the grain raised
in the valley has Teen produced upon
lands leased from the Indians. These
lands are under the supervision Of the
government Indian agent whose ap.
proval to lease is necessary. The resi-,
dent agent, F. G. Morgan, estimates
there are 1900 allotments to be lea e !,
Of which probably two-thirds are fam
lands. ~
Farm land leases run from one to,tive
years and cost from SLIGO to $3.50 per
acie per year. In three year leases it
is required that substantial improve
ments be made on each allotment and
in five year leases it is required that a
substantial dwelling be built upon each
allotment.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1911-04-07


Please note that these figures repre-.
sent the averages for 81 years; and the
length Of time they cover should make
them reliable. Owing to the fact that
the Mission Valley is better protected
against the cold waves from the east
aad has a considerably lower altitude
than Misscula, the average temp r
ure is no doubt somewhat higher, but
the Missoula figures are used for the
reason that the U. S. weather reports
have not been kept on the reservation
until recent years. The mildness and
freshness of the climate, the beauty
an gr N '>ur of the scenery and the
fertility of the soil combine to make the
Mission valley an ideal place for the
home Of man.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1911-04-07
HOW TO GET THESE
LANDS.

The land has IN appraised value Of
from Sl.25 to 500 per acre, the price
of each 40-acre tract being governed by
the natural fertility Of the soil and its
distance from local markets.
Any person qualified to enter lands to
that extent under the general home.
stead laws may acquire not to exceed
l6O acres by entry and occupation and
BY residing thereon for five years.
Cash payment of one third of the ap.
praised value is required at the time
entry is made, the balance being pay.
able n five annual installments without
interest.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1911-04-07
SOIL.

In the eastein portion of the valley
the soil is a deep black loan with clay,
sand andgravel sub-soil. In the western
part Of the valley the top soil is not SO
deep, as the lands lie on higher lev
els md in some localities the surface is
a brown shot soil with clay. sand and
gravel sub-soil. Most of tn Indian al
lotments are located on the low, fiat
valley lands where natural conditions
favor the easy growth Of grains and
grasses, and the new settlers, for the
most part, are going on the bench lands
lying to the south and west Of Roman.

Republican County Convention.

In obedience to a call, about two
hundred Republicans assembled at the
urt-house last Saturday afternoon for
the purpose of electing delegates to
the State Convention which meets in
Louisville this Tuesday, afternoon to
nominate a candidate for Governor and
for other State offices.
The O'Rear and Franks forces were
about equally divided, and before the
convention convened there was some
speculation as to how the county would
instruct. Mr.. w. A. Cofey, who is
Chairman of the County Committee,
called the convention to order. and
started the work that was before it.
He then called for the nomination of
candidates for temporary Chairman
DR.. l.. C. Nell was nominated by the
Franks forces and Mr.. j. o. Russell by
the O'Rear followers: Upon a count
Nell had ninety-three votes and Rus
sell ninety-one, and DR.. Nell was de-
clared temporary Chairman. This
action greatly enthused the Franks
forces and shout of approval went up
from that side of the house. Order
being restored, Mr.. NJ. G. Winfrey
was elected :cretary. Before there
was call for Committee on resolu-
ton, Mr., NJ. R. Yarberry, who had
been an outspoken O'Rear man. arose
and read bunch of resolution, nam.
ing nineteen delegates, instructing
them to vote for Franks first and for
Cox second, and also for Charles Par
rish for Auditor; no othe instructions.
He moved the adoption of the resolu-
tions, and after considerable wrangling
and count, the resolutions were adopt
ed, and tue convention adjourned
There are two factions of Republi-
cans in Adair and in our judgment had
they been at peace among themselves
the county would have been easily car
ried for o Rear.
