TRAIN ON MOTT

Income INJURED

A Northern Pacific wrecking train
on it's way to Lauther to pick up three
Friday night, jumped the track about
twelve miles south of Mandan this
morning, and traffic was delayed six or
seven hours. No one was injured.
Five cars left the rails and the
track was torn up for distance of
more than a hundred feet. Section
crews from both directions were sum.
moned to assist the wrecker in clear
ing up the wreck. The Mott train,
which was only few miles behind
the wrecker was held up until the
track was rebuilt.
About forty passengers were COM
PEELED to put in most of the day at
Schmidt. To those who have never
been to Schmidt this may not seem
to be very serious matter, but it is.
Schmidt is the site of what was once
planned to be a town, but which never
materialized, and there is not even
section house there.
In addition TO the damage done by
the wind Friday night, the rain caused
several small washouts along the Mott
line. Soft track is blamed for the ac-
cident this morning.
At noon the passengers were taken
back to Mandan for dinner and it was
thought the train would be annulled.

BEAUTIFUL PICTURES

Last Saturday the secretary of

large colored photographs all
framed in a handsome frame and
ready to hang on the wall, from
L. w. Hill, the president of the
Great Northern railway, which have
been hung in the club rooms and
are greatly admired by all who have
seen them.
The pictures are some that were
taken in the Glacier National park
by Kiser, the official photographer
of the Great Northern. They are
hand colored and are certainly a
fine piece of art that the club can
be very proud to possess. To show
their appreciation to Mr.. Hill, Mon
tana's greatest booster. for his mu-
nificence, the Club rendered him &
vote of thanks and made him an hon
orary member.

man named Joseph Sicotte was
brought into the car where the
plaintiff was, by the conductor, who
told Sicotte to sit down and be
quiet, instead of taking him to the
baggage car. In a few minutes ST.
cote pulled out a loaded revolver
and fired three shots, one striking
Hummer on the right side of his
face and another passing through
his hat. Plaintiff was in the hos
pital nine days.

A, CLEANUP
CAMPAIGN WOULD
Be THE THING

In Spokane proclamation has
been issued by the mayor for the
cooperation of every one in town
in regular cleanup campaign.
Every department of the city gov
ernment as well as the schools must
cooperate with the city in their
plans for the cleanup campaign,
which will be announced with dates
and instructions to the people in a
few days.
I'VE will set aside two weeks
for the work, with hope of renova-
ting every vacant lot and alley in
the city within that time. Probab-
ly three days of each week will be
set aside for rubbish burning days.
We must have the cooperation of
the fire department and the crema-
tory department" said Mayor Hind
ley of Spokane.
Every person in the city, men,
women and children. will be ex-
pected to get busy during the two
weeks"
The writer has seen this plan trie
out in a little eastern town, and it
worked most successfully. In this
way the streets, alleys and back
yards can be made nice and tidy
within "a short space of time,
where otherwise the work is
dragged along through the summer.
If the council will pass a resolution
to this effect and put the work un-
der the supervision of a special
cleanup committe the whole town
could undergo a spring renovation
in a couple of weeks.

Census figures just completed re-
port 25,946 farms in Montana. That
isn't many farms, when account is
taken of our extent and territory.
1t is, however, a great gain when
comparison is made with the CEN
sus returns for 1900. They credited
the state with 1880 farms.
These are very large farms; the
average area per farm being $50
acres. The process of cutting farms
into smaller holdings took at least
start during the decade; the CEN
sus shows, however, that it was not
more than II per cent. In 1900 the
average size of a farm in Montana
was 624 acres. The process of bring
ing our agricultural sections into
smaller holdings will undoubtedly
be quite rapid during the next ten
year period.
Meanwhile, the bureaus returns
for the value of farming lands in
Montana are highly gratifying. They
show an increase of 394 per cent for
the first ten years of the century
and of 355 per cent in the value of
farm land and buildings. Another
figure is that shown in the aver
age value of farm land per acre the
increase is 1877 per cent. Or, figur-
ing it another way. the bureau puts
the increase at 1872 per cent. placing
the average value of farm land in
1910 at 1856 in 1900.
An interesting item is that the
number of farms operated in Mon
tana by the "all owners class is
80 per cent of the whole. Thus the
number of tenants on this states
farms is not large, and we have a
very substantial element which ia
strictly in the farmer class.

TALK OVER
NEW SCHOOL
BE HAD.

Only small number of persons
interested in school matters turned
out Saturday evening in response to
posters which had been circulated
around town announcing that a
mass meeting would be called at
the school house to nominate trus-
tees for the school board. and Incl
dentally to discuss the feasibility of
starting the preliminary work for
securing another and more commo-
dious school building to take the
place Of the one we now have which
Is entirely inadequate to the needs
in point of sanitary arrangements
and location.
A school building at Lakeside was
also mentioned in a casual way.
Rev. CASTOR acted as chairman
and E. l.. Geddes as secretary. On
account of the inclemency of the
weather there was hardly repre-
sentative number of patrons, and
but little accomplished. Professor
Gloyde, however. explained that he
had investigated and found that
there are about $4,000 available
for building purposes, about four
fifths of which comes from Great
trackage taxes.
Although no authoritative action
could be taken it was the sense of
those present that it was a move in
the right direction, and the matter
of new school building should be
agitated.
