MONTANA HAS
BEST CLIMATE

What sort of climate has Montana?
is Il question often asked. One part
of the state is on the Atlantic and the
other OH the Pacific slope of the con-
tinent; it embraces an area as great
as two thirds Of France or Germany;
elevations range from 1000 to 5000
feet, rising even to 1000 feet in the
uninhabited mountain ranges; there
are regions of plains, and of foot
hills; there are sheltered basins and
valleys; and for these reasons cIimat-
ic conditions at one point differ from
those at another not similarly situat-
ed.
The climate of Montana is excel
lent; it is Il healthful and eXhilera-
ting; the water is pure: and the air
clear. dry, vitalizing, filled with or
one-is Of Il kind which it is Il luxury
to breathe. Perhaps nine ont OF ev-
cry ten persons who have lived one
whole year in Montana prefer it's eli
mate the year round to the climate
OF AMY outer ItSlUIl VI W HICl SHNy nav
personal knowledge. The country Is
healthful and the death rate is the
lowest except one.
A government report on the climate
of Montana contains the following:
'"rhe light snowfall in the valleys
throughout the state winter months
is usually speedily evapOrated by the
chinook winds which are prevalent
from Oregon to Nebraska, from the
Peace River to Arizona, being par
ticularly common in Montana, where
they do much to modify the climate. y
The chinook is a wind which comes
from the warm japanese current IN
the Pacific ocean and tempers the eli
mate in all the country it reaches.
There are cold days in Montana MS
are to be expected in northern state,
but cold "spell of weather. usually
lasts only two or three days at time,
and outdoor work during the winter
months is seldom prevented by the
severity of the cold.

New York. May 23.-Montana as Il

Chester S. Morey, the president Of
the Great Western Sugar company OF
New Jersey, and chief agent of the
late ii. o. IIavemeyer III the western
beet sugar country, was a witness to-
day.

owns a factory at Billings. Mont. The
method used in acquiring this plant
was told today. Within three months
after Havemeyer' s attention had been
called to the Billings company the Ag-
ricultural Investment company, Il
Havemeyer concern, had acquired IA
controlling share in the stock, the
witness said. He admitted that an
election was held. the local men re-
moved and other OF Havemeyer's men
had become directors.
The plant is still run under the
name of the Billings Sugar company,
although since 1907 it's entrie stock

AGREEMENT ON
THREE YEAR BILL

A late dispatch from Washington
says: The conference comnittee in
charge of the Borah-Jones three-year
homestead bill today reported what is
declared to be the final agreement,
and which will be reported back to
both houses in day or two. The
main features of the original bill are
retained and all Objectionable pro-
posed amendments rejected. AS the
bill is agreed upon, the homestead
period is reduced from five to three
years, and entrymen are permitted
leave Of absence of not to exceed five
consecutive months each year, being
required to notify the local land Of
flee when they leave the land and the
date of their return. The cultiva-
tion clause is incorporated, which re-
quires the entryman to cultivate not
less than One-sixteenth Of his entry
the second year and one eighth the
third year, before receiving patent.
The bill will apply to all entries in
cludlng enlarged homestead entries
and all pending entries.
Entrymen who have not yet re-
ceived patent are given the privilege
of completing their proof under the
three-year bill or continuing under
the old law as they may prefer. Sen
ator Borah is much pleased over the
long g-delayed agreement Of the con-
ference committee, and is now hope
full that the bill will finally pass and
become law III the form in which
it is now left by the conference COM
mittee. Senator New lands did not
attend the meeting Of conferees to-
day, but the other committeeman feel
satisfied that he will approve the bill
and join in the report.

too heavy for the car to bear OF hold

Considerable time was required to

consequently the train was forty min

SAME OLD STORY.

1t Is now but three weeks from the
day that the people of the United
States will assemble at the various
voting places for the purpose of Sc
lectlng men to fill the various offices
of the nation.
At this time Of the presidential
campaign, it has been the custom of
the Democrats to make big claims. 1t
will be remembered that when the
contest was on between Roosevelt and
Parker that there was no hope at
any time in the campaign for the
Democrats to make good showing.
yet any one may go back over the
iiles of the Democratic press and read
that the Democratic managers and
politicians claimed that Parker would
be elected by one of the largest ma
Joritles ever given president in this
country. They are making almost as
ridiculous claims in this campaign and
they will keep it up until the next
day after election and then as before
say that if the election had been held
a few weeks earlier Wilson would have
been elected by big majority.
They will then charge that the Re-
publicans bought the election of Taft
just as they claimed he did four years
ago when as matter of fact Wilson
will have received before the COM
paign is over more money to advance
his election than all the other candi-
dates combined.
The American people are accustom-
ed to this procedure every four years
and pay but little attention to it.
