Musselshell valley. The writer of
the article describes the boundaries
of the Judith Gap district, and 1t
does not come any nearer to the Mus
selshell valley than it does to Moore.
The Judith Gap district ends about
half way between the Snowy noun
tains and the Musselshell river, and
this strip OF territory is the richest
farming country III Montana today.
Asa matter OF fact the Musselshpll
valley does not get much over half
the precipitation that the Judith Gap
district does, hence the Argus argues
from false basis to wrong conclu-
sion. 1t is correct in it's conclusions
as to the Musselsllell valley, but the
Musseishell valley is not in the .Ju-
dith Gap district.

JUDITH FLOUR
FOR ORIENT

Charlie McClave, erstwhile mayor
OF Moore. manager Of the Montana
Elevator company. whose elevators
enclrcle the great Judith basin, and
also manager of the famous Harlow
ton flour mills, is in the city today,
says Saturdays Lewlstown News.
In speaking Of the grain situation
MIR. McClave stated that they are
now contracting for wheat at market
prices and that the quality of the
wheat so far has been excellent.
In mentioning the mill at Harlow
ton Mr.. McClave said:
"lt will surprise the people of Fer
gus county that our mill is not what
You might term either local or state
institution but we are building up an
increased and rapidly growing trade
with the Seattle and Western tide
water terminals for Oriental, Austria
liam and African export, and not only
DO we reach the Pacific coast with our
products. but the Atlantic seaboard
is beginning to be big factor, flour
from Fergus county wheat having
been sold in large quantities for New
York and Baltimore terminals with
the ultimate intention of European
export
"'rhe Judith basin is destined
through her wheat growing and mil
ing Industry to enter upon the great
est era OF prosperity she has ever ex-
perienced. The st. Paul railroad has
favored us with extremely advantage
ous rates both east and west, has giy-
en- us excellent terminal facilities and
is doing everything in reason to
make for the upbuildimg of IA great
milling center. This can be more ap-
preciated when say that only a few
days since we landed large Seattle
contract for Oriental shipment in
competition with some Of the largest
milling concerns in the United States.
the lower freight rate we have enabl-
ing us to do this.
"Situated as we are with railroads
raolatlng IN every direction, with an
advantage Of about thirty cents per
barrel over eastern freight rates, the
time will not be long when Montana
millers and especially the Harlowton
mill. being located at the base Of sup
plies. will control the entire Oriental
milling export business.
~ am more than pleased with my
trip to lewistown this time. asI
have just concluded negotiations with
the Lehman company for one of the
biggest flour contracts we have enter
ed in recent months, and it pleases
me to know that the LewistOwn con-
Germs are so willing to take hold of q
strictly Fergus county product in
preference to that shipped in from
the east"

SOME Big MONEY
IN RAISING SHEEP

Ogden, Utah. July 2o.-W. Barnes.
representing President Taft and the
tariff board. in checking up the infor-
nation gathered by special agents of
the government on wool and sheen in
dustries, arrived in Ogden TODAY.
After visiting four Of the largest
sheep states of the west. in II state
ment made public today, he says the
data obtained proves that sheep can
be raised and wool clipped and mar
keted and lambs disposed of at ii cost
OF $3.50 per head, the annual revenue
from which, with wool at IL cents.
totals $3.3l. leaving IA profit Of $l.sla
head.
His figures are as follows:
Cost per head to raise sheep. all en-
penses incident to grazing. hertling,
shearing. dipping. lambiug, freight
on wool and mutton, interest in
money invested, ETC., $3.50.
Average clip Of wool per head, sew
en- pounds. at an average of IL cents
per pound, delivered 81 cents, average
price OF lambs So; average increase,
being figured ut about 80 per cent
placed on market $2.4O. Total re-
ceipts $3.3l.
Mr.. Barnes states there may lie
some difference in different states the
cost OF raising sheep, and the market
value us to the wool clip, lambs and
mutton. but the above figures show
quite accurately what the average is
in the territory over which he has
travelled. lie suggests that the cost
OF raising sheep might be reduced
considerably by better business meth
Ods by sheep owners.

MONTANA CROPS
ARE IMMENSE

The year 1911 will smash the rec
ora OF all Others to smithereens 50 far
as crops are concerned, according to
the statement made to the Daily Star
OF Miles City. by J. II. Hall, commits.
sloner OF the bureau of labor. indus
try and commerce.
The yield over the entire state is
magnificent" said MIR. Hall. "There
will be between Ii, ,OOO, 900 and 2O,OOO,-
600 bushels of grain marketed and
probably more. The figures may
seem astounding yet it is a fact that
the crop will be more than treble that
OF the best year prior to this. Teton
county put in the largest area and
will make the greatest crop showing
this year of amy section of the state.
Most of the land there is under the
ditch. Fergus. Valley, Chouteau,
Meagher, Musselshell, Custer and
Dawson county will also produce fins
yields and so will Lewis and Clark
although the acreage in the latter is
not large. Of course we never speak
OF the Gallatin valley ut all for that
is what we consider sure shot coun-
try. 1t always raises big crops.
Mr.. Hall is pleased with the general
situation, especially in view Of the
fact that this has not been an ideal
year by any means. Those who have
cultivated the soil along scientific
lines have received good results and
they have established the fact that
dry farming can be made Il great sue
cess.
Mr.. Hall was very desirous to get
samples of irrigated flax from Custer
county and through Secretary For
tune Of the chamber of commerce, he
received an excellent sample from
Otis HAYNES. This is going to he
sent back east and tested. Ii it proves
to be the right material it will mean
much to Custer county. The best
flax fibre now comes flom the state
Of Washington and next to this are
the Irish and French tibres. Then
comes Eastern Montana dry land flax.
If the irrigated flax from this section
is better and compares favorably with
the Washington flax 1t will be worth.

WENT DOWN
THE FIRE ESCAPE

Lewistown, July ga genuine
sensation was caused here last night
by the disappearance of w. +. Mas
ten, Il prominent promoter, who
came here 4 couple OF months ago
with II project for building residences
for lot owners. He had gained quite
foothold, and had eight houses in
course OF erection in this city. The
scheme called for payments from
time to time, and it is supposed he
was just getting things in shape for Il
killing. As it is those who dealt with
him will probably not lose much.
A few days ago Masten was recog-
nized by NJ. A. Shmowen. OF Billings.
as a man who operated there a couple
of years ago under the name OF j. w.
Selkin, and who was wanted for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
He notified the Billings authorities
and yesterday afternoon Sheriff Or
rick telephoned Sheriff Woods to ar
rest the man and hold him. Masten
had left his Office for the day and last
evening Deputy State Stock Inspect
or Frank Riglen met Masten and ar
rested him. On the way to the coun-
ty jail Masten asked leave to 20 to
his room at the Bright hotel for some
thing. lie was permitted to do this,
and made his escape by getting out Of
the window and going down the fire
escape. Nothing has been seen Of
him since.

are not apt to quarrel over his estates

NO REFERENCE
TO MUSSELSHELL

A Judith Gap correspondent of the
Anaconda Standard in a recent letter
to that valuable paper, makes some
statements that would hardly stand
investigation in his efforts to boost
tire judith Gap country as grain
growing region. The correspondent
starts out by saying:
"The Old-timers ut LewistOwn and
Moore do not like to have the Judith
Gap district classed as in the famous
Judith basin.'
Now, so far rs the people OF Lewis
tOwE are concerned we believe they
want to see all of Ger trail Montana
producing crops Of all kinds of Ger
eals. They take no narrow or envi-
ous view Of the matter. They hope
the whole Musselshell valley will
have bumper crops, not only this
year but in the years to come. Fur
thermOre, we believe that thousands
OF acres of agricultural lands lying
Oh the foothills and on the bench
lands where the two mountain ranges
almost JON are entitled to be classpd
rs in the Judith basin, receiving rs
they do, the benefits of the precipita-
tiOn that follows the mountains. The
correspondent further says:
"Where this territory excels the
Judith basin is in the rainfall every
year. Statistics show that the rain
fall south of these mountains exceeds
the rainfall in the basin from five to
eight inches each season."
Now, if this has reference to the
Musselshell valley it is far from be-
ing correct. Stockmen and others
who have lived in the valley for ii
quarter of century or more would
pronounce this an eNtravagant state
ment and not borne out by their own
observations and experience. In
years past when the precipitation has
been heavy in the basin drouth con-
dltiOns have prevailed in the Mussel-
shell valley.
But we make these comments not
in the spirit of the "knocker' but to
correct what we know to be an erron-
eOus statement, possibly made with
out any intention of falsifying the
facts.
However, we hope conditions have
changed. We, rs we'll as the people of
LewistOwn are glad to learn that the
Musselshell valley, the region south
of the SnOwies, has been favored this
year with an abundance of moisture
and that the outlook is splendid for
record breaking crops. 1t is all for
the common gOOd.-Fergus County
Argus.
The editor of the Argus is acknowl-
edged to be an eminent authority on
what territory constitutes the Judith
Basin. lie has jealously guarded
this territory against all comers, but
makes the common error that the
basin lies wholly in Fergus county.
The Journal has read the article in
the Anaconda Standard referred to,
and there is no reference IN it to the
