MONTANA RANGES TO BE.
DEVOTED TO WHEAT CROP
Breaking Land in Box Elder County
for the SOwinE-Big steam
PlOws at Work.

GREAT FALLS. Mont, May 3-(special)
The Box Elder country, IN the palmy days
OF the cattle and sheep Industry of this
state, the best range along the Missouri
river valley. is being transformed this year
into great wheat field and will rival the
Judith basin country, the holders of the
land claim. Already contracts are being
worked, which when completed, will have
coverted more than 5000 acres into fields
OF grain.
Where once the drowsy herder watched
his stock and the shepherd minded the
band as it grazed the range, the steam
whistle and the chug-chug of the engine
now break the stiffness Of the vast acres,
for the farmer has supplanted the herds
men and the family the bunch that once
occupied the clubhouse. This is going to
be a closely settled community.
Edwin Cooper of Adrian MINI, has be-
gun working on contract to break 1000
acres with his outfit. The Boyle Land
company Is at work turning 900 acres Of

TWO RAILROAD LINES IN
MONTANA TO BE IMPROVED
Great Northern VIII Resume Work
Augusta Cut-Off-Extsns
for the Milwaukee.

GREAT FALLS, Mont May S-(spe-
cial)-Two railroad improvements which
mean much to central and eastern Mon
tana and also to the northern part Of the
state are being started and will be pushed
this summer with all possible rapidity.
The Great Northern Is to resume work
on Augusta cutoff, a line, which, when
completed, II is proposed will extend from
here to Columbia Falls, this making the
main line come from Havre by way of
Great Falls, and across the mountains,
long distance south of the present main
line across the continent.
The cutoff would greatly reduce the
grade Of the line and wouldn't is said be
possible to make better time for the trip
west, though the mileage would be consid-
erably greater.
The other railroad Improvement lie the
extension Of the Milwaukee road to this
city. corps of engineers began running
lines in the Judith country last week and
there are well defined rumors that the con-
tractors are assembling materials and ma
chinery for the work at Lewstown. The
Milwaukee's advent into this city is looked
TO with keen interest and 1t is expected
will mean a remarkable revival and ex-
pansion in business and property values.

III councilmen who favor the plan of
lighting the streets by the city would get
rates from the Omaha Gas company which
would warrant such an innovation it
would be all right But do not favor the
plan where we are put in the attitude of
forcing the gas company to lower it's price
because Of reputed agreement with the
eastern company"

Contracts have been awarded to nurseries

Arthur. Idaho, 1900 acres are being pre-
pared for apple culture Another company

voted to orchards. The Arcadia company
Is clearing and planting a tract OF 1000
acres In the northern part of Spokane and
southern Stevens counties. This land was

GOVERNMENT MAKING FARMS
Reclamation Service Answering Cry
Of Land Hungry.
MILLIONS OF ACRES CHEAP
Many Large Projects Now open for
settlement-small Capital Re-
uuired-MOst Ventures
Make Good.

The cry Of the land-h hungry is heard
everywhere. During the last few years
desirable farm land has increased in value
so enormously that the man Of small
means finds Il more and more difficult TO
secure a home. The congestion of popula-
ton IN our large cities already furnishes
an economic and social problem of serious
import
Recognizing its obvious duty TO create
add pnal opportunities for homeseekers,
the federal government through It's re-
clamation service at Washington for sew
eral years has been eNpending millions OF
dollars in the construction Of irrigation
works to reclaim vast areas of the arid
west, much OF which is vet the public do
main. on several OF the large projects the
water is nov ready for the land. and set
tiers from all parts Of the country are
establishing their homes on the reclaimed

side upon his farm. and to repay to the
government in ten years, without interest.
the cost of reclamation. small addi-
tlonal charge per acre is made for the an
nual maintenance and operation Of the
irrigation system.
As a result of the activities OF the Re
clamation bureau, 1900 farms are now be-
ing watered, and a million acres are being
put in crops.
One Of the most hopeful signs in con-
nectfon with the deserts reclamation Is
the surprisingly large number of people
who have left the cities and towns to
take up these farms, and who have made
good" Notwithstanding a lack of knowl-
edge of farming and a total unfamiliarlty
with conditions in an irrigated country
the percentage of failures is very small.
The question. Can merchant
mechanic, lawyer. doctor, or men of other
professions succeed as farmers in the
west?" has been answered. Given good
health, a small capital to make a start

answer in most cases is, yeas"

GAS FACTIONS ARE APPEARING
Opposition to Municipal Plan is Com
ing to Light.
COST QUESTION is BROUGHT UT
Hummel Opposed TO scheme Proposed
on Ground 1t VIII Entail Too
Great an Expense on
the City.

The plan OF members OF the city council
Tor the city TO do its own gas lighting Is
going TO meet with all sorts of opposition
when the project comes up for action.
Several members among them Hummel
and Berka, are not convinced that the city
can do the lighting cheaper than corpora
lions which make a business OF street
lighting, Nor are they sure the city has
ample funds for such departure.
Under present conditions | am opposed
10 SUCH scheme said Councilman Hum
mel Wednesday morning IF the project
Is carried out as contemplated the city
will be put 20 an unwarranted expense. In
the first place equipment cannot be bought
and Installed under $40 a lamp. Then there
- maintenance charge that must be met
In addition to the purchase of the gas
Even II the city can buy gas at 81 per
loo cubic feet as has been suggested
the cost TO the city will be In the neighbor-
hood OF SIS lamp for the first year. OF
course this amount viii be decreased in
the second year and thereafter to the ex-
tent OF the first cost OF the lamps. exclu-
sive OF upkeep. To install the system we
will have TO dig down In our jeans for s16.-
600 or $4,000 for equipment
Provisions viii then have 20 be made
for the maintenance and gas. Promoters
OF the plan argue that these expenditures
can be met out Of the t2S lamp that is
set aside each year, but seriously
doubt IL.
IF anyone can show me where We can
install such a system on business basis
and save the city any money, I viii GER
tainly fall i'm line with the movement.
As the situation is It seems to me that
the best thing 10 do would be to award a
contract 10 some firm which makes a busi-
aess OF street lighting We have asked
bids twice and the best We have received Is
